Sisters Nancy Chiarelli and Sarah Differ were co-tenants of the house in Quincy that they grew up in. Sarah lived in the house with their mother, her daughter, and her husband Marc and his daughter; Nancy lived in Florida with her husband and family. In 2006, Sarah asked Nancy to convey her ½ interest in the house to Sarah so that she could refinance; Sarah promised to return Nancys ½ interest after the refinance was completed. After getting the promise in writing, Nancy agreed, and that transaction went smoothly. In 2008, Sarah made the same request. Nancy agreed without getting anything in writing, and conveyed her ½ interest to Sarah. Sarah reneged on the agreement and did not return Nancy as a co-tenant. This action followed, in which Nancy brings a variety of claims, each of which seeks a return of her ½ interest, as well as a claim for partition that has been stayed pending the resolution of her other claims. As discussed below, while Sarah did not commit fraud (she intended to return the ½ interest to Nancy at the time of the 2008 agreement), she did breach an enforceable contract with Nancy, entitling Nancy to specific performance of the promise to reconvey her ½ interest to her.
The plaintiff Nancy Chiarelli filed her verified complaint on January 5, 2012, naming as defendants Sarah Differ, Marc Differ, and Lowell Cooperative Bank. The verified complaint asserted the following claims: Count I, Intentional Misrepresentation; Count II, Fraud in the Inducement; Count III, Breach of Contract; Count IV, Promissory Estoppel; Count V, Specific Performance; Count VI, Creation of a Constructive Trust; and Count VII, Partition. Plaintiffs Motion for Judicial Endorsement of Memorandum of Lis Pendens was allowed on January 11, 2012. Defendant Lowell Cooperative Bank filed its answer on February 1, 2012. A case management conference was held on February 23, 2012. Defendants Sarah Differ and Marc Differ filed their answer on March 15, 2012. On April 17, 2012, the Plaintiffs Motion to Transfer Case to Superior Court was denied, and Count VII of the verified complaint, for partition, was stayed until resolution of the other claims.
On May 24, 2012, plaintiff filed her amended verified complaint, in which Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as nominee for Branch Banking and Trust Company (MERS) was substituted as defendant. MERS filed its answer, counterclaim, and crossclaim on June 18, 2012. Plaintiff filed her reply to the counterclaim on July 10, 2012; defendants Sarah and Marc Differ filed their answer to the amended verified complaint and their answer to the crossclaim on August 30, 2012. The pretrial conference was held on October 2, 2012. The Stipulation of the Parties was filed on December 3, 2012.
Trial was held on December 11 and 12, 2012. The court heard testimony from Nancy Chiarelli, Marc Differ, Sarah Differ, Mark Reenstierna, and Douglas Mercurio. Exhibits 1 through 34 were marked; the Parties Statement of Agreed Facts was marked as Exhibit 1. The Defendants Motion for Required Findings on Tort Claims and Breach of Contract Claims was heard and denied without prejudice.
Plaintiffs Post-Trial Memorandum of Law was filed on February 21, 2013. Defendants Sarah Differ and Marc Differs Proposed Findings of Fact and Requests for Rulings of Law were filed on February 22, 2013. The court heard closing arguments on March 18, 2013, and took the matter under advisement. This Decision follows.

6. Nancy and Sarah are sisters. They grew up at the Property with their parents and their brother Greg. Exh. 1; Tr. I-21.
7. Their father passed away in 1982, and their brother passed away in 2002. Their mother, Elizabeth McCann Mills, passed away on May 3, 2011. Each of them was living at the Property when they passed away. Exh. 1; Tr. I-22, 69, 208.
9. By a deed dated March 9, 1984, and recorded in the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds (the registry) at Book 6355, Page 587 on March 9, 1984, Elizabeth McCann Mills conveyed the Property to herself and Nancy as joint tenants. Exhs. 1, 8; Tr. I-69-70.
10. In or around 2000, shortly after separating from and divorcing her first husband Robert Perch, Sarah and her daughter moved into the Property with her mother and her brother. Exh. 1; Tr. I-207-208.
11. Sarah and Marc met in 2000 when Sarah got a job at Marcs office. The two began a dating relationship some time in 2001. Shortly after September 11, 2001, Marc moved into the Property, and Sarah and he have continued live at the Property up through the present time. Exh. 1; Tr. I-208.
12. Marc was divorced in 2000. He had two children from his first marriage, with continuing weekly child support obligations of $380-400 for both children in total that began in 2000 and ended in 2009. Exh. 1.
13. In 2001, Elizabeth McCann Mills and Nancy gave a mortgage on the Property, as joint borrowers, to Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation, as lender, in the amount of $165,100.00 (the Chase Mortgage). The Chase Mortgage is dated December 4, 2001 and is recorded in the registry at Book 15904, Page 262. Exh. 9.
15. By a deed dated October 14, 2005 and recorded in the registry at Book 23010, Page 345 on October 17, 2005, Elizabeth McCann Mills conveyed all of her right, title and interest in the Property to Sarah. The deed provides: The intention of this deed is to convey one-half interest that I own in the above described property based on a deed dated March 9, 1984, whereby I had transferred another one-half interest to Nancy Ann Mills (i.e., Nancy, the plaintiff). The deed further provides that Elizabeth McCann Mills reserves for herself a life estate in the above described property. Exh. 1; Exh. 10.
16. On February 21, 2006, Sarah telephoned Nancy at work and said that she wanted to refinance the Chase Mortgage with a new mortgage from Value One Mortgage, the company at which Sarah worked at the time, to take equity out of the property. The outstanding amount due on the Chase Mortgage was $165,000; Sarah wished to refinance in the amount of $210,000. Sarah told Nancy that the purpose of the refinance was to fund repairs on the Property. Exh. 1; Tr. I-23-25, 188, 209-211.
17. The lenders attorney, Douglas Mercurio, had fedexed a deed to Nancy on February 15, 2006. In the February 21st conversation, Sarah told Nancy that she needed to sign this deed beforehand, to facilitate this refinance. Sarah said that the deed would have the effect of Nancy transferring her one-half interest in the Property to Sarah without Nancy having to fly up from Florida to Massachusetts to sign documents. Nancy said that she did not want to relinquish her interest in the Property forever. Sarah told Nancy that after the refinance, Sarah would execute a quitclaim deed to restore Nancys one-half interest in the Property. Nancy told Sarah that she did not understand the process, could not discuss it at work, and wanted to think about this request before agreeing to it. Sarah was upset. Exhs. 1, 33; Tr. I-30-31, 188, 211, II-21-22, 24, 27-28.
18. That evening, Nancy and Sarah spoke by phone. Sarah asked Nancy if she would agree to sign the deed. Nancy asked Sarah to put in writing Sarahs intentions about obtaining the deed for the purposes of the refinance and the putting Nancy back on the deed, and to fax them to Nancy. Nancy did not completely trust Sarah; she had a gut feeling that something just wasnt right. Moreover, she had no intention of giving up her interest in the Property after having lived there with her husband and done renovations before they moved to Florida. Sarah was upset, saying, Dont you trust me? but agreed. Exh. 1; Tr. I-31-32, 34-35, 188, 213-215.
19. The next day, February 22, 2006, Sarah prepared and faxed a letter to Nancy. In the letter, Sarah stated:
This has turned out to be a very sad day for me, when I was trying to help Mom with this burden that was left to her. And to help make repairs, that she has complained about for such a long time. I gave you my word that you were going to be placed back on the Deed today. You are going off for the recording of the new mortgage, at the same time of the recording you are going to be placed back on. I even asked [attorney] Doug [Mercurio] to send you a letter explaining this. He said he faxed it to you. I was able to get a low rate and was locked in for 15 days. I explained that we needed that quitclaim for this morning. Doug did say that if we knew you were defiantly [sic] going to have it in the mail today, that we may proceed with the loan. Why cant you trust me? What did I ever do to you? Are we sisters? Why dont you trust me, because Jack doesnt? Why dont you follow your heart? If you can let me know if youll be able to mail this today, we might be able to refinance at 4:30 today. After this is over we can talk about what you want out of the house, and take care of that down the road. Please call me. 781-986-6900. Your Sister, Sarah.
20. The same day, Nancy telephoned attorney Mercurio and expressed her concern about executing the deed without any assurance that she would be restored to her status as title holder. In response, attorney Mercurio faxed her a letter confirming that she would be restored as a Property owner after the new mortgage was signed and recorded. Exh. 34; Tr. I-74, II-28-30, 33.
21. Also on the same day, February 22, 2006, Nancy telephoned Sarah and accepted Sarahs offer and told Sarah that she was sending attorney Mercurio the signed deed. Nancy sent the signed by overnight mail to attorney Mercurio with a handwritten letter. The letter states:
I am signing this Quitclaim deed for the purpose of the refinance of the property at 29 Shelton Rd, Quincy MA, that Sarah Differ is executing in consideration that I will be put back on the deed to the property (as stated in your letter) at the time of the closing as it was prior to this refinance.
22. At this time, Marc was aware that Nancy wished to be restored as co-owner of the Property after the refinance transaction was completed. Tr. I-117, 119-120.
23. The deed that Sarah signed on February 22, 2006 was recorded at the registry on February 27, 2006 at Book 23430, Page 321. Exhs. 1, 12.
24. Sarah and Elizabeth McCann Mills as borrowers entered into a mortgage with HomeComings Financial Network, Inc., whereby Sarah borrowed $210,000 against the existing equity in the Property (the HFN Mortgage). The HFN Mortgage was recorded at the registry on February 27, 2006 at Book 23430, Page 323. Exhs. 1,14.
25. The HFN Mortgage refinanced and discharged the Chase Mortgage, the sole existing mortgage on the Property. The Discharge of Mortgage, discharging the Chase Mortgage, was recorded in the registry on March 21, 2006 at Book 23497, Page 90. Exhs. 1, 13.
26. At the closing of the HFN Mortgage, attorney Mercurio telephoned Nancy and told her the deed restoring her as co-owner of the Property had been signed. By a deed dated February 27, 2006, and recorded in the registry at Book 23430, Page 339, Sarah restored Nancy as an owner of the Property as joint tenant with Sarah. This deed also repeated the life estate held by Elizabeth McCann Mills. Exhs. 1, 15; Tr. II-43.
27. Sarah withdrew $46,239.11 in equity from the Property as a result of the 2006 transaction and deposited these funds in a joint savings account at Quincy Credit Union that she shared with Marc. Sarah and Marc intended to use the money from the 2006 transaction to consolidate debts and cash-out equity for home repairs. The debts included credit card debt that both Sarah and Marc had. Sarah did not tell Nancy that the money would be used for anything other than home repairs. Exhs. 1, 2, 3; Tr. I-115, 210-211.
28. Between 2006 and 2008, Nancy and Sarah did not have any discussions about the Property. Tr. I-36.
29. In May 2008, defendant Sarah telephoned Nancy and proposed another transaction concerning the Property. She told Nancy that she wanted to take out an equity loan for the sole purpose of making repairs to the Property, that she wanted Nancy to execute a quitclaim deed, and that attorney Mercurio was preparing the deed and would send it to Nancy to sign so that she would not have to fly up from Florida to sign the documents. Nancy replied, Oh, the same as last time? You are going to put me back on the Deed when this transaction is over? Sarah said, Yes. Sarah did not tell Nancy that she was not going to convey Nancys interest back to her after the transaction was completed. Nancy trusted Sarahs promise, based on the 2006 transaction in which they had done the same sort of exchange of deeds, and did not ask Sarah to put this promise in writing. Exh. 1; Tr. I-36-40, 215-217, 219.
30. Sarah had attorney Mercurio prepare a deed (the 2008 deed). The 2008 deed conveyed Nancys and Elizabeth McCann Millss interests in the Property to Sarah, thereby extinguishing the life estate of Elizabeth McCann Mills and vesting 100% of the interest in the Property in Sarah. In reliance upon Sarahs promise to reconvey a ½ interest in the Property to her after the refinance transaction, Nancy signed and returned the 2008 deed to Sarah. She then telephoned Sarah to let her know that she had received the 2008 deed, signed it, and sent it back. During that conversation, Nancy again said, You are going to put me back on the Deed as soon as you get the funds? Sarah replied, Yes. Exhs. 1, 16; Tr. I-40-41, 59-61, II-53-54.
32. At the time of this 2008 transaction, Nancy had no intention to give up her ½ interest in the Property forever for nothing in return, because she had lived there for 11 years, renovated the Property, and paid the mortgage and taxes. Also at the time of the 2008 transaction, Sarah did not believe that Nancy was relinquishing her ½ interest to Sarah forever. Tr. I-37-38, 220-221.
33. Marc was aware of the 2008 conversation between Sarah and Nancy, and was also aware that the conversation resulted in the 2008 deed. He believed that Sarah intended to put Nancy back on the deed and restore her interest. Tr. I-121, 140-141.
34. At no time has Nancy ever told defendant Sarah that Nancy desired to relinquish her interest in the Property to Sarah forever. Exh. 1.
35. The 2008 deed was recorded at the registry on June 2, 2008 at Book 25807, Page 215. Exh. 1; Exh. 16.
36. On June 24, 2008, Sarah and Marc (as co-signor on the note) entered into a subordinate mortgage with Quincy Credit Union for $40,000 (the Quincy Credit Mortgage). They withdrew the $40,000 as equity from the Property and deposited the funds into their joint account at Quincy Credit Union. The Quincy Credit Mortgage was recorded at the registry on June 24, 2008 at Book 25860, Page 148. Exhs. 1, 17, 18; Tr. I-166, 233.
37. Sarah and Marc refinanced the Property and gave the Quincy Credit Mortgage in 2008 in order to consolidate debts and cash-out equity for home repairs. They used the money to pay for some repairs to the Property. They also paid approximately $10,000 for an electric chair that would lift Sarahs mother, Elizabeth McCann Mills, up and down stairs, paid $13,000 for dental work for Marcs daughter, and paid down some credit card debt. Exh. 1; Tr. I-166-167, 233, 248-250, 252.
38. Sarah was laid off from her full time job at Waste Solutions in 2008. Since that time, she has worked, part-time 2 days per week, at Royal Spring Chiropractic for which she is paid $100/week. Marcs base salary in 2008 was $40,000; between 2008 and 2010 his commission income fell. Marcs annual child support bill was $20,000, so the majority of his income, after taxes, was absorbed by child support payments that were garnished from his wages. As a result, in 2008 Sarah and Marc were struggling to pay their bills. Exh. 1; Tr. I-163- 165, 229-232.
39. Approximately two weeks after she signed the 2008 deed, Nancy checked the registry online and saw that no deed restoring her interest in the Property had been recorded. She telephoned Sarah and asked Sarah why she had not yet been placed back on the deed to the Property as a joint tenant with Sarah. In response, Sarah said: Mom wants to talk to you when you come up in July. Sarah told Marc of this call. Exh. 1; Tr. I-42-43, 191, 224.
40. Nancy and her husband visited Massachusetts between July 11 and July 21, 2008. On July 20, 2008, Nancy and her husband were at the Property. Nancy, Sarah, and their mother, Elizabeth McCann Mills, had a conversation. In that conversation, Sarah and their mother told Nancy that Sarah was not going to restore Nancys interest in the Property. The reason, expressed by Ms. Mills, was that Nancy was not contributing to the Property, that she had left the house and hurt her, and that Sarah would leave the house in the family. Sarah said that she felt it was her turn, that she did not want to have to call Nancy every time she wanted to refinance, and that she had only restored Nancys interest in 2006 because Marc had told her to. Nancy responded, I trusted you. I signed this. You said you were going to put me back on. I never would have signed this had I known you were going to do this. Sarah said, Yeah, I know, Im the bad guy. Exhs. 1, 32; Tr. I-45-48, 67, 79, 80-82, 193, 198-199, 206.
41. This conversation upset all of them. Shortly after the conversation, Nancy and her husband left the Property. Rather than spending the night at the Property as they had planned, they stayed at a hotel before making their return flight to Florida the next day. Exhs. 1, 32; Tr. I- 48-49, 74, 199-200.
42. The next day, Nancy telephoned Sarah the next day and asked Sarah to restore her as a joint tenant owner of the Property. Sarah refused. Nancy also telephoned her mother that day. In that conversation, her mother told her that Sarah was going to put her back on the deed. Exhs. 1, 32; Tr. I-84-85, 88.
43. After those conversations, Nancy had some further conversations with her mother but did not take any further action with respect to the Property until 2011, because she did not want to upset her mother. Tr. I-85-87, 90.
44. Nancy did not speak to Sarah again about the Property until April 2011. Their mother was in the hospital. When Nancy was visiting the hospital, Sarah mentioned that she thought that Nancy and their mother still owned a parcel adjoining the Property called the beach property. Tr. I-50-51.
45. The next conversation that Nancy and Sarah had about the Property was in July 2011, shortly after their mother, Elizabeth McCann Mills, passed away. When Nancy was in Massachusetts to bury their mothers ashes, she told Sarah, We need to do something about this. Tr. I-51-53.
46. By a deed dated July 29, 2011, and recorded at the registry at Book 29007, Page 401, Sarah conveyed the Property to Marc, for a listed consideration of $570,000. The HUD settlement statement lists a Gift of Equity from Seller to Buyer in the amount of $300,000. Sarah did not obtain Nancys consent to perform this conveyance of the Property. Exhs. 1, 21, 23.
47. That same day, Marc executed a note and took out a mortgage on the Property for $270,000 through Lowell Cooperative Bank, as lender, and MERS, as mortgagee/nominee (the MERS Mortgage). The MERS Mortgage was recorded at the registry on August 1, 2011 at Book 29007, Page 403. Marc did not obtain Nancys consent to encumber the Property with the MERS Mortgage. Exhs. 1, 22, 26, 29.
48. Later that same day, Lowell Cooperative Bank executed a Notice of Assignment, Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights transferring its interest in the MERS Mortgage to Branch Banking and Trust Company with MERS remaining as the mortgagee/nominee. As part of this transfer, Branch Banking and Trust Company and Lowell Cooperative Bank executed an allonge of the note on August 2, 2011. Exhs. 1, 27, 28.
49. Most of the money borrowed under the MERS Mortgage was used to satisfy the two prior mortgages on the Property, the 2006 HFN Mortgage for $210,000 and the 2008 Quincy Credit Mortgage for $40,000. A Release of Mortgage, releasing the HFN Mortgage, was recorded in the registry on August 8, 2011 at Book 29022, Page 484. This instrument served to release the mortgage entered into on July 22, 2006. A Discharge of Mortgage, discharging the Quincy Credit Mortgage, was recorded in the registry on September 16, 2011 at Book 29123, Page 349. Exhs. 1, 19, 20.
50. Marc took approximately $18,000 in equity out of the Property in 2011, which was used for repairs and debt consolidation, including paying off approximately $5,000 in credit card debt. Exh. 1; Tr. I-168-169, 245-246.
51. Nancy did not know about this transfer or the MERS Mortgage before it occurred. She discovered the transfer to Marc and the MERS Mortgage when she had a title search performed in August 2011, after her mother had died. Nancy called Sarah in August 2011, and told Sarah that she knew that Sarah had transferred the Property to Marc. Sarah said, I could sell this property for $800,000.00 today if I wanted to. Nancy replied, Well, so much for keeping it in the family. Sarah then said, Well my kids cant afford this place, and your kids are going to get your property, referring to Nancys property in Florida. Tr. I-53-59, 65-66.
52. Sarah admits that Nancy has never communicated to Sarah in any way at any point in time that Nancy wanted or was intending to relinquish her one-half interest in the Property to Sarah and/or Marc forever. Exh. 1.
53. As of July 2011, Sarah and Marc continued to use two accounts at Quincy Credit Union for all of their cash deposits and cash purchases. These accounts included the same checking account and savings account that they had used in 2006 and 2008. As of July 2011, just prior to the 2011 transaction, the defendants checking account balance was $147.53, and the defendants savings account balance was $12.98 as per Quincy Credit Union records. Exh. 1.
54. Sarah and Marc used proceeds from the HFN Mortgage, the Quincy Credit Mortgage, and the MERS Mortgage to make the following repairs and improvements to the Property:
Nancys amended verified complaint has seven counts. Count I is for intentional misrepresentation. Count II is for fraud in the inducement. Count III is for breach of contract. Count IV is for promissory estoppel, in the alternative to breach of contract. Count V seeks specific performance. Count VI seeks the establishment of a constructive trust. Count VII is for partition. Consideration of the partition claim was stayed, and it was not part of this trial. Based on the findings of fact set forth above, I treat each count in turn.
Intentional Misrepresentation. To recover on her claim of intentional misrepresentation, Nancy must prove that Sarah or Marc made a false statement of material fact in order to induce Nancy to agree to the 2008 transaction and execute the 2008 deed, and that Nancy reasonably relied on this false statement to her detriment. Masingill v. EMC Corp., 449 Mass. 532 , 540 (2007); Zimmerman v. Kent, 31 Mass. App. Ct. 72 , 77 (1991). Sarah or Marc must have known that the statement was false when either of them made it, or the statements truth or falsity must have been susceptible of actual knowledge. Id. The statement that Nancy alleges was false is Sarahs promise to restore Nancys ½ interest in the Property after the 2008 refinance was completed and her statement that she would use the money from the refinance for repairs to the Property. The evidence establishes that Nancy relied to her detriment on these statements, as she executed the 2008 deed surrendering her interest in the Property. The evidence further establishes that her reliance was reasonable, as the statements suggested that Sarah was proposing the same arrangement that they had made and completed in 2006. In fact, Nancy confirmed with Sarah that the 2008 transaction would be the same as the 2006 transaction. The evidence does not establish, however, that these statements were false when Sarah made them. Rather, the evidence establishes that Sarah did intend to restore Nancys ½ interest in the Property and to use the money for repairs when she made those statements in 2008. It is only after Nancy gave the 2008 deed and Sarah and Marc completed the refinance transaction that Sarah changed her mind and reneged on her agreement. Because neither Sarah nor Marc made a false statement of material fact in the 2008 transaction, Nancy has not proved her claim for intentional misrepresentation. Count I is dismissed with prejudice.
Fraud in the Inducement. Fraud in the inducement is a form of misrepresentation. It is contrasted with fraud in the factum.
The term fraud in the factum typically refers to the rare case when there has been fraud as to the essential nature of [a legal] instrument or an essential element of it. Frederico v. Brockton Credit Union, 39 Mass. App. Ct. 57 , 63 (1995). Fraud in the inducement, by contrast, occurs when a misrepresentation leads another to enter into a transaction with a false impression of the risks, duties, or obligations involved, Blacks Law Dictionary 686 (8th ed. 2004), but there is no fraud as to the essential nature of the transaction.
Suliveres v. Commonwealth, 449 Mass. 112 , 117 (2007); see Frederico v. Brockton Credit Union, 39 Mass. App. Ct. 57 , 63-64 (1995). As stated above, I find that Sarah intended to restore Nancys ½ interest in the Property and use the money from the refinance for repairs when she made her statements to that effect, and therefore did not fraudulently induce Nancy to agree to execute the 2008 deed. Count II is dismissed with prejudice.
Breach of Contract. To recover on her breach of contract claim, Nancy must prove that she and Sarah had a valid agreement, that Sarah breached her duties under the agreement, and that the breach caused Nancy damage. See Monadnock Display Fireworks, Inc. v. Andover, 388 Mass. 153 , 157 (1983); Daddario v. City of Pittsfield, 301 Mass. 552 , 555 (1938); Loranger Constr. Corp. v. E.F. Hauserman Co., 1 Mass. App. Ct. 801 (1973), S.C., 6 Mass. App. Ct. 152 (1978), 376 Mass. 757 (1978); Arthur D. Little Intl, Inc. v. Dooyang Corp., 928 F. Supp. 1189, 1201 (D. Mass. 1996). For a purported contract to be valid and enforceable, the parties must have reached agreement on all material terms and have had a present intention to be bound. Situation Mgt. Sys., Inc. v. Malouf, 430 Mass. 875 , 878 (2000); McCarthy v. Tobin, 429 Mass. 84 , 87 (1999).
Nancy and Sarah reached an enforceable agreement in 2008 on all material terms. The terms to which they agreed were that Nancy would convey her ½ interest in the Property to Sarah for the purpose of Sarahs refinancing the HFN Mortgage and taking out equity for repairs. In exchange, Sarah agreed to convey a ½ interest in the Property back to Nancy after the refinance was completed. Nancy and Sarah explicitly discussed these terms in their May 2008 telephone conversation and Sarah explicitly agreed to reconvey a ½ interest in the Property to Nancy. To the extent any of these terms were not made clear in their conversations, they were incorporated into the agreement by Nancys asking if this 2008 transaction would be the same as the 2006 transaction and Sarahs confirming of that understanding. See Simons v. American Dry Ginger Ale Co., 335 Mass. 521 , 523 (1957) (contract enforceable if meaning of its terms can be ascertained in light of attending circumstances). This agreement is hereafter referred to as the 2008 agreement.
Contracts quite similar to the 2008 agreement were held enforceable in Hurtubise v. McPherson, 80 Mass. App. Ct. 186 (2011), and Barber v. Fox, 36 Mass. App. Ct. 525 (1994). In both cases, the plaintiff conveyed a property interest to the defendant upon the defendants promise that he would convey property back to the plaintiff. See Hurtubise, 80 Mass. App. Ct. at 187; Barber, 36 Mass. App. Ct. at 526-527. In Barber, the agreement was between siblings and concerned family property, in that case the family farm. Id. In both cases, the Appeals Court found that the agreements were definite enough to be binding. Hurtubise, 80 Mass. App. Ct. at 190-192; Barber, 36 Mass. App. Ct. at 531.
Sarah breached the 2008 agreement with Nancy. She did not perform her obligation to convey a ½ interest in the Property to Nancy. The time for the reconveyance, based on the 2006 agreement whose terms were incorporated into the 2008 agreement, was to be as soon as possible after Sarah gave the Quincy Credit Mortgage which refinanced the HFN Mortgage. Sarah expressed her intent not to perform, thereby repudiating the 2008 agreement, no later than the July 2008 meeting at the Property between Sarah, Nancy, and their mother. This breach caused Nancy damage. Specifically, it deprived her of her ½ interest in the Property that she had conveyed to Sarah only in the expectation and agreement that it would be returned to her.
Sarah and Marc raise two affirmative defenses against Nancys breach of contract claim. First, they claim that the statute of limitations bars the claim. Leaving aside whether they properly preserved this defense in their answer, the breach of contract claim is not barred by the statute of limitations. The limitations period for contract claims is six years. G.L. c. 260, § 2. Sarah breached the 2008 agreement in July 2008, and this action was brought in 2012, well within the six-year limitations period.
Second, the Differs raise the defense of the Statute of Frauds. Under the Statute of Frauds, a contract for the conveyance of land is not enforceable unless it is set forth in a writing executed by the person to be charged. G.L. c. 259, § 1, Fourth. The 2008 agreement is a contract for the conveyance of land, namely the ½ interest in the Property, and it is not in writing. On its face, it is subject to the Statute of Frauds.
There is, however, an exception to the Statute of Frauds that applies to this case. A plaintiffs detrimental reliance on, or part performance of, an oral agreement to convey property may estop the defendant from pleading the Statute of Frauds as a defense. Nessralla v. Peck, 403 Mass. 757 , 761 (1989); see Andrews v. Charon, 289 Mass. 1 , 5 (1935); Hickey v. Green, 14 Mass. App. Ct. 671 , 673 (1982). Here, Nancy performed her obligation under the 2008 agreement by conveying her ½ interest to Sarah, and relied to her detriment on Sarahs promise to convey the ½ interest back to her. This exact reliance was found to be reasonable and to take an oral agreement out of the Statute of Frauds in both Barber and Hurtubise. In Barber, the Appeals Court held that the oral agreement in that case was not barred by the Statute of Frauds because
[a] contract for the transfer of an interest in land may be specifically enforced notwithstanding failure to comply with the Statute of Frauds if it is established that the party seeking enforcement, in reasonable reliance on the contract and on the continuing assent of the party against whom enforcement is sought, has so changed his position that injustice can be avoided only by specific enforcement. Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 129 (1979), quoted in Hickey v. Green, 14 Mass. App. Ct. 671 , 673 (1982). This rule applies with particular force where the plaintiff had already provided consideration consisting, at least in part, of an interest in land.
Barber, 36 Mass. App. Ct. at 530. In Hurtubise, the court explained that the application of the equitable exception to the Statute of Frauds relied upon in Barber, has depended upon the degree of reliance on the oral agreement by the party pursuing specific enforcement. Hurtubise, 80 Mass. App. Ct. at 189. While earlier Massachusetts decisions laid down somewhat strict requirements for an estoppel precluding the assertion of the Statute of Frauds, . . . more recent decisions . . . indicate a trend on the part of the Supreme Judicial Court to find that the circumstances warrant specific performance. Id., quoting Hickey, 14 Mass. App. Ct. at 673- 674.
Nancy is in the same position as the plaintiffs in Barber and Hurtubise. She conveyed an interest in the Property to Sarah in reasonable reliance upon Sarahs promise to convey that interest back to her after the refinance. This conveyance constitutes part performance of the 2008 agreement, made in reliance on the agreement to Nancys detriment. Nancys change in position means that injustice can only be avoided by enforcing the 2008 agreement. Nancys conveyance takes the 2008 agreement out of the Statute of Frauds and renders the agreement enforceable. Id. at 189-190; Barber, 36 Mass. App. Ct. at 530-531.
Promissory Estoppel. Promissory estoppel is an expression not used in Massachusetts, since it tends to confusion rather than clarity. Loranger Constr. Corp. v. E.F. Hauserman Co., 376 Mass. 757 , 761 (1978). The doctrine to which the term refers is that an offer or promise which the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action or forbearance, and results in the other party reasonably acting or forbearing in reliance upon the promise, will be enforced as a contract. Rhode Island Hosp. Trust Natl Bank v. Varadian, 419 Mass. 841 , 849-850 (1995); Loranger Constr. Corp., 376 Mass. at 760-761. The reliance substitutes for consideration, id. at 761, so that an action based on reliance is equivalent to a contract action, and the party bringing such an action must prove all the necessary elements of a contract action other than consideration. Rhode Island Hosp. Trust Natl Bank, 419 Mass. at 850.
Sarah knew that Nancy was conveying her ½ interest in the Property in reliance upon Sarahs promise to convey that interest back to her after the refinance was completed. Nancys action in reliance upon Sarahs promise created an enforceable contract which, as described above, Sarah breached.
Specific Performance. Nancy has sought as a remedy specific performance of the 2008 agreement, that is, a judgment ordering Marc as owner of the Property to convey to her a ½ interest in the Property. [Note 1] Whether specific performance should be granted is within the sound discretion of the judge. Greenfield Country Estates Tenants Assn, Inc. v. Deep, 423 Mass. 81 , 87 (1996). Specific performance is a proper and usual remedy in disputes involving the conveyance of land. McCarthy, 429 Mass. at 89; Raynor v. Russell, 353 Mass. 366 , 367 (1967), and cases cited. Specific performance is favored because [i]t is well-settled law in this Commonwealth that real property is unique and that money damages will often be inadequate to redress a deprivation of an interest in land. Greenfield Country Estates Tenants Assn, Inc., 423 Mass. at 88. Sarah breached her contractual obligation to convey a ½ interest in the Property to Nancy. Nancy is entitled to specific performance of that obligation.
Sarahs 2011 conveyance of the Property to Marc does not prevent specific performance of Sarahs contractual obligation. Marc is a defendant in this case. He took title to the Property with full knowledge and actual notice of the 2008 agreement between Sarah and Nancy. Moreover, Marc did not provide any consideration for this conveyance. Marc gave the MERS Mortgage for $270,00, which satisfied the 2006 HFN Mortgage and the 2008 Quincy Credit Mortgage, and took $18,000 in equity out of the Property through the MERS Mortgage. The remaining $300,000 of the purchase price recited in the deed is listed in the HUD settlement statement as a Gift of Equity from Seller to Buyer. In other words, no money changed hands between Marc and Sarah as part of this 2011 conveyance. Given Marcs actual knowledge of the 2008 agreement and the lack of consideration, the conveyance of the Property to him in 2011 does not bar specific performance of the 2008 agreement. McCarthy, 429 Mass. at 89-90.
The MERS Mortgage is not an obstacle to specific performance, either. All parties, including the mortgagee of the MERS Mortgage, have stipulated that whatever the outcome of the trial in this action, the MERS Mortgage will remain a valid and enforceable lien in first position on the Property, and the parties will execute any necessary documents to confirm the validity of the MERS Mortgage in first position.
Nancy is entitled to specific performance of the 2008 agreement. A judgment shall enter ordering Marc to convey a ½ undivided interest in the Property to Nancy.
Constructive Trust. Nancy seeks the establishment of a constructive trust as an alternative remedy to specific performance. Because I am ordering specific performance of the 2008 agreement, there is no need to establish a constructive trust.
Partition. Consideration of Nancys partition claim was stayed pending the outcome of the other foregoing claims, which would determine whether she had an interest in the Property entitling her to partition. I am ordering specific performance of the 2008 agreement and the conveyance by Marc to Nancy of a ½ undivided interest in the Property. This conveyance will entitle Nancy to seek partition.
No final judgment shall enter at this time, as the conveyance to Nancy must be made and the partition claim adjudicated. As part of the partition, a commissioner needs to be appointed and a sale conducted. After the sale, the distribution of the proceeds and the allocation of proceeds from the various mortgages on the Property must be determined. In other words, further proceedings in this action are necessary. A status conference is set down for June 18, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the next steps in this action.
[Note 1] The Land Court has jurisdiction to order the specific performance of contracts for the sale of land. G.L. c. 185, § 1(k).

Just picked up ME3. Want to import my Career from ME2. Was having issues with my hard drive and a guy at best buy told me I could transfer them over to a 16g usb and load them from there so I did. I MOVED them from my hard drive to my usb and loaded it up. worked great, played ME3 for a few hours and went to bed. next day after work tried loading it again and the USB is BLANK. All of my saved files and all of the work from the last 2 games are friggin gone. Tried downloading a PC save from the net that had most of the same decisions made that I had in my career, converted it to an x box save and tried transferring that to my (new) hard drive but the x box isn't recognizing that there is anything on the usb to transfer even though it shows up plugged into my laptop. Any ideas? I really don't want to go through ME3 with the default story line. i worked hard for 2 games and I want to play out the story that I started. Please Help!
Hi dude. I have the same problem, but also with the ME3 saves.

In Lost Light: An Interpretation of Ancient Scriptures (published in 1940, and available here for reading online in its entirety using the top link in the left-hand column which says "read online" or for download as a pdf using the link just below that one), Alvin Boyd Kuhn spends an entire chapter (entitled "Weighed in the Balance," beginning on page 480) discussing the concept of "judgment day" or the "judgment of the soul" found in ancient sacred texts and traditions.
On page 490, he specifically addresses a tradition that "the dead are summoned before the divine tribunal to be judged upon the day of doom, which occurs each New Years Day!" But he cautions, as he does throughout the book, that these kinds of ancient traditions are misinterpreted if we try to understand them literally.
What this ancient tradition really means, according to Kuhn, is that those of us in a current incarnation in the physical world (whom the ancient texts refer to as "the dead," in that the soul's descent into a physical body is a kind of "death" or "entombment in flesh," but which is only a temporary condition) are undergoing a kind of judgment day year in and year out (that is to say, "constantly" during this incarnation). Further down on the same page, he explains: "If the Day of Doom came once each year on New Year's Day, it was set only as an annual commemoration of a fact which was perpetual, constant, persistent throughout life."
He then goes on to explain that the famous depictions of the "weighing of the heart" in the "Hall of Judgment" or the "Hall of Two Truths" in the scrolls that have collectively come to be known (somewhat incorrectly) as the Egyptian Book of the Dead do not actually refer to an event that takes place in some other realm in the afterlife: just like everything else in the Book of the Dead (in Kuhn's interpretation) it has to do with things that we need to know about here and now, in this incarnation (this life)!
As argued in an earlier chapter, the Spiritual Guides of humanity gave the race a code of religious instruction that was meant to apply to the world in which it was given, not to a succeeding one. The seers were not concerned with teaching mankind about the supervening consciousness of the discarnate life. They taught humanity how to live in the world in which the teaching was imparted, well assured that philosophic behavior of life here would put them in favorable condition to meet the exigencies of the life of rest following the day on earth. They were vastly concerned to instruct mortals in what it behooved them to learn here, as this was the only realm in which progress could be made, -- unless it be contended that one makes greater progress in sleep at night than in one's waking life by day. 481.
And again, on page 484 Kuhn avers that the sojourn of the soul on earth during each incarnation is in fact the Hall of Judgment: "The horizon line between the two cherubim is the place of the Great Balance. The two Horus forms or lion gods are the two pillars of justice, and the judgment is the long series of decisions which the man himself renders as he journeys across." (Italics in original).
Man has entered the Gotterdammerung; he stands within the twilight. He stands on the mounts both of crucifixion and transfiguration, with the shadow of the two beams of the cross or the scales falling athwart his body. Every act, word and thought of his causes those arms of the scales to move up or down, according as he gives an impulse to spiritual or to sensuous expression. In their motion they write the scroll of his book of life, alternately upon outward feature and inner character. Every movement of the bars is a decree of judgment for him. Taht-Aan, the scribe and recorder, is filling the pages of his book. 496.
This passage certainly makes the whole process sound dreadfully ominous, as if the Book of the Dead taught the impossible doctrine that every sin would have to be avoided in order to avoid having one's heart tossed to the dreadful demon, Ammit, to be devoured. But Kuhn elsewhere explains that the process of passing through the scales in each incarnation was seen as the essential part of the progress towards overcoming incarnation:
To come forth guiltless from the scales may now be seen to convey the deep significance of the soul's emergence from earth life between the two horizons, washed clean and gloriously spiritualized. If the judgment had been adverse, the soul would have been cast to the monster Am-mit, which only means, however, return to animal incarnation until final purification. 491.
It is clear from explicit statements and analysis elsewhere in the book that by "animal incarnation" Alvin Boyd Kuhn here does not mean incarnation in the form of what we call "an animal," but rather he means that the soul would incarnate again as a man or a woman -- taking on a physical body again -- as part of the process.
As he says all the way back on page 41, "As the Egyptian most majestically phrases it, the soul, projecting itself into one physical embodiment after the other, 'steppeth onward through eternity.'" And again on page 251 he writes that the Egyptians believed that, "The soul is as the bee gathering sweet honey of immortality from the flowers of life experience on earth."
And yet again on the same topic, Kuhn writes on page 273 that "In this light it may be seen that the whole of the negative and lugubrious posture of theology as to 'sin' and 'death' as its penalty, might be metamorphosed into an understanding of the natural and beneficent character of all such things in the drama." That is to say, in Kuhn's analysis, because "sin" describes lessons that can only be learned as an incarnation of the divine spark of a soul united to the animal body of the flesh (a pure spirit cannot sin, and neither can a non-human animal -- only a man or woman, who is a combination of the spirit and the animal together can do so), and because by "death" the ancients meant "incarnation of the spirit again," the whole process is transformed from being a fearful one into a positive or beneficent one.
In light of all the forgoing discussion, and the point made way at the top that all this was metaphorically said to have taken place among "the dead" (that is to say, those incarnated right now) on New Year's Day, it is interesting to speculate as to whether the famous "negative confessions" which are found accompanying the scene of the weighing of the heart in the Hall of Judgment (the Hall of Two Truths) in the scrolls of many ancient copies of the Book of the Dead might have some relationship to our ongoing tradition of the "New Year's Resolution."
The so-called "negative confessions" were often forty-two in number, and are associated with Spell 125 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Professor Raymond O. Faulkner (1894 - 1982) said that the name "negative confession" was self-contradictory, and that a better name for it would be "the declaration of innocence." Here is a portion of the forty-two declarations, as translated by Professor Faulkner (on pages 31 and 32 in this edition of his translation, published posthumously in 1990):
Those of us who try to make New Year's resolutions each year might do worse than to select from among the "declarations of innocence" in Spell 125 of the Book of the Dead any that personally resonate. Some of the confessions that are most compelling to me personally include:
O Disturber who came forth from Weryt, I have not been hot-tempered [see discussion in this previous New Year's post].
Alvin Boyd Kuhn's insight that subject matter of the Book of the Dead applies to our sojourn in this life is indeed revolutionary, and worthy of careful consideration. |

For listeners of this show a complimentary 15 minute financial coaching and strategy session is available by calling Eric at 941.713.9307 or email at MoneyCoachNow@gmail.com - just let him know you heard about The Financial Independence Project on today's show.
Today I have Carlton Berkley, an ex-New York Police Detective, as a guest on the first hour of the show.
I came across Carlton's YouTube video where he tells the young people in the audience never to speak to a cop. That intrigued me and I found myself liking the matter-of-fact way in which Carlton talked to his audience.
I have a great distrust of police officers (or policy enforcers as I have come to learn that this is what they are) in America due to my own experiences and found it refreshing to hear Carlton talk. I endeavored to invite Carlton on to the show in my segments on Law and after a bit of digging eventually talked to him and invited him on to which he agreed.
If you didn't get with the program (behave the way they wanted you to behave - treat the pubic as the enemy or as us and them attitude) you would be considered an enemy of the police dept.
When questions are being asked of you by a police officer, you are being interrogated or interviewed so you must not answer any questions. |
You can learn more about telephone town hall meetings at our sister-company, Monarch Broadcast Messaging.
Telephone town hall services are provided to candidates, office holders, non-profit organizations, and corporations, to reach out to thousands of people simultaneously. It is the only interactive technology available that can mass-invite and accommodate large numbers of people to participate in a super-teleconference.
Town hall teleconferences bring the benefits of live interactive town hall meetings to the comfort of homes and offices. Rather than a physical town hall meeting that involves scheduling, reservations, and traveling for all participants, a telephone town hall meeting can be set up easily using advanced teleconferencing technology. The service is used by elected officials and candidates who are interested in staying in touch with the voters and by non-profits to inform their membership of latest news and to take questions about policy issues and developments.
The advantage of the service is that it can be set up quickly, easily and everyone can participate, regardless of the weather, without leaving the comfort of their home or office. The teleconference can invite individuals who use both landline or cell phones and includes several optional features such as Q&A and instant polling capabilities. While physical town hall meetings have a limited seating capability, seating at most several hundred people, telephone town hall meetings can accommodate anywhere from several thousand to upwards of a hundred thousand people at a time. It is the only technology that has the ability to interactively connect that many people at once. Not only does the technology provide a tremendous convenience for the leaders and listeners, but the leaders can select and target the exact constituencies they are interested in engaging.
For instance, a leader who is interested in discussing issues that involve senior citizens, can set up the town hall teleconference to call only senior citizens. Invitations are sent out by phone calls which are automatically delivered by the thousands every minute. Those who answer the phones at home receive a recorded message that invites them to participate and join the teleconference by pressing their keypad. If they are not interested, they can just hang up. The entire process is opt-in, and leaders can effectively get tens of thousands of interested participants on the teleconference in minutes.
The telephone town hall conference starts when the system begins dialing the phones numbers on your call list. Each recipient hears a brief recorded message that invites them to your teleconference. Should they choose to participate, they only need to stay on the line to be put into the conference. For calls that go to voicemail, rather than a live answer, your recorded message will be left indicating the nature of the call.
Your participants can press “0” to indicate they would like to ask a question, and they will be put into a question queue. You will be able to see the name and location of every individual in the Q&A queue, and will control who and when they will talk live and be heard by everyone on the call. Should you need information about the question topic, a member of your team can momentarily pull the caller out of the conference to get additional information, and then return them to the teleconference.
You also have the option to conduct a survey or poll with everyone on the teleconference, by posing questions and having participants input their answers by pressing keys on their keypad. (For example, “If you are in favor of lower taxes, press #1. If you are in favor of higher taxes, press #2.) Response results are immediately available to you, and also recorded in a database record for each participant.
Any individual that didn’t get the opportunity to ask their question can be transferred to voicemail, at your discretion, to pose their question or leave comments. Those messages and the appropriate contact information are recorded and sent to you or your designated representative for further action.
The system is already in place so there is no need to buy any hardware of software to begin using the service and there is no set up fee. It’s all done online and billing is done on a pay as you go basis and there are no overhead or maintenance costs. Telephone town hall services will continue to grow in popularity because it is the best way to reach thousands of people instantly at a fraction of what postage would cost to send direct mail. But more importantly, you can actually stay ahead of the informational curve and get the proper information out those people whose opinions count, while interacting with them in personal way. At present, it’s the best way to establish a relationship with your constituents and/or members.

For years, I have been pointing out that there is a significant hole in the public's access to government communications.
Each BlackBerry device is unique. The big convenience for politicos is that unlike email, PIN communication is not recorded or logged. It flies underneath the radar!
As I pointed out on June 17, 2009, the best way to avoid a paper trail is to eliminate the paper.
The phone comes equipped with an eight-digit PIN. The PIN, which is the identification device for the phone, can be located under the phone's settings icon in the status section. Just like phone numbers, no two PINs are alike.
The PIN can be used to send electronic messages to another BlackBerry device. The PIN ensures that the mail will be delivered to the correct address and is a convenient way to speed up the messaging process.
For a regime that does not like to produce a paper or electronic trail, it is the ultimate tool!
The province does not archive or back-up PIN messages. Thus they are undetectable. Users assume that PIN messages are secure and untraceable. Many business organizations have had to ensure employees deactivate these features to ensure they are regulatory compliant for audits. The provincial government has never dealt with the issue.
The Telegram's investigative story into provincial government's "black communication ops" blows the entire covert propaganda operation to stifle and discredit critics and concealed campaign to influence public opinion, out of the shadows.
The extent, depth and logistical coordination of the Government's use of public money, non-political staff, communication staff is alarming.
Much of the operation is done via the backdoor - off the Grid.
Does the extent to which every word uttered, typed, spoken, or Twittered in the public domain is compiled and reported back to the Premier's office concern you?
Frankly, if people are engaging in public debate via open line shows, articles in the papers, on Twitter, FaceBook or on Blogs - what is wrong with monitoring them?
have to be accountable for what I do or say. What is wrong with the government listening to public opinion?
The use of public resources to deceptively influence polls, public opinion & discredit outspoken critics crosses the line.
The Telegram story illustrates that the current administration is interested in power and continuing to hold power. That many in the government are self-interested louts.
It proves that people like myself are not schizophrenics.
It offers the public a very necessary picture of how real politics in this province works.
Does bad behavior make for good politics?
The only evidence in the story is that Dunderheads like Paul Lane are doing this online ballot box stuffing, yet The Telegram, VOCM, and the rest of the "journalism is hard" crowd resorted to "both sides do it" journalism. If you want change, it's time to clean house in the local media! |

So many common garden plants can easily be steeped in hot water to make the most wonderful tasting, health-giving, refreshing tea.
I first experienced this phenomenon when Longrain in Melbourne first opened in 2006. The kitchen was headed by the fabulous Martin Boetz. After one of the most glorious, unbelievably delicious meals I have ever eaten we were served fresh lemongrass tea. It was a perfect way to conclude an outstanding experience.
There is a very important trick to making a good herbal tea – use hot water NOT boiling. Allow the kettle to cool for 5 minutes after it has boiled. I learnt this when developing a granita for classes when fresh mint seemed to be the essential ingredient. I made simple sugar syrup, then as it was simmering, dropped in a big handful of mint. The temperature was too much for this soft leaf herb and the whole complexity of flavours altered and stripped the freshness from this freshest of herbs.
When making mint tea in our Mystique of Morocco class adding tea leaves seems to render the mint flavour acceptable. Adding other plants such as rose geranium (I’m now growing for just this purpose) and lemon verbena lend more complexity and make it truly delicious.
Staff at The Agrarian Kitchen in Tasmania (pictured left) have over the years, nurtured a herbal tea garden into maturity.
Now of course, these herbs can be cooked with as well, but steeping tea is a sensible additional use for the quick-growing, softer herbs, who like being picked often. Many different mints are thriving here, tasting one after the other was a great lesson in the subtleness (or not so) of the minty flavours. Spearmint, apple mint and peppermint are the 3 that I would advise to plant. Beware though, they can overtake a garden bed, so if your space is limited plant in a pot!
Pick herbs as needing to use fresh for the simplest way to make tea. Or dry stems or flowers in shallow layers on a tray in a warm airy place. Turn a couple of times a day. After 4 to 8 days (depending on the weather) once dry, strip leaves and store in snap lock bag omitting as much air as possible. Store in a dark cool place. But not for long, herbs will lose flavour and aroma over time.
Only use flowers and leaves from a known source. Drinking tisanes that have had been sprayed is not such a healthy option.
So try infusing these few combos or individual herbs. Allow to steep in the hot water for a few minutes before drinking. Length of time is dependent on strength of tea you prefer. Serve with a touch of honey if you like, but deliciously refreshing without…

Change management software allows companies to manage, monitor, and optimize the change management process in their organizations.
Such a process involves several different elements and stages that involve multiple units and activities.
In the era of digital transformation, disruption processes encompass a sequence of steps that lead to the successful implementation of localized or company-wide transformations that lead to the execution of a customer-centric digital strategy.
Change management software enables companies to structure and monitor the process in order to identify opportunities, create a plan for implementation, manage assets and resources, drive change, manage communications, monitor and evaluate data, and optimize auditing.
Change management also involves IT management challenges connected to digitization while companies also need to create a customer-centric and omnichannel infrastructure that can quickly address disruptions, improve customer service, and automate training.
Other challenges connected to change management process include compliance, asset and resource management, communication and project management, risk management, auditing and analysis, and governance.
The biggest component in the process is a change in mentality and approach which are linked to the basic strategy dictated by management.
But after identifying areas that can be susceptible to potential change and creating a plan for execution, change managers also need to deal with resistance to change, and because the overall strategy needs to be reflected in the main IT architecture, companies also need to update the software infrastructure and monitor and push software adoption.
Customers and employees demand high-quality, personalized, digital experiences. The right software stack truly makes the difference when it comes to delivering on such a promise.
Here’s a list of the top change management software solutions that cover different stages of the process.

1 Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
3 And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
6 Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
While designing this sweet little thing for Keith and Casey, I came this close to finally knowing what a Hunger Game is. Not close enough, but still, this exists now.
This was fun to help put together and I’ve gotten a real kick out of watching the reactions on Twitter this weekend! I think we might clear 500k views by the end of the day and we *may have* added a tiny chance that you can win the Hunger Games that you participated in this afternoon, so let me know if you’re one of the lucky ones! |

When Katherine Gotovsky sees a problem, her response is immediate. The gears in her 17-year-old mind start working away, determined to come up with a solution whether it’s at school, retirement residences or in the tech industry.
She is one of six GTA students selected as Loran Scholars, an award which recognizes character, community contributions and future leadership potential.
From a pool of more than 5,000 applicants, 34 young Canadians were selected for the award valued at $100,000 over four years. The honour includes an annual stipend of $10,000, matching tuition waiver and access to $10,000 in funding for summer internships.
The other winners from the GTA are: Elektra Dakogiannis, Georgia Koep-Freifeld, Eden Wondmeneh, Lauren Prophet and John Milkovich.
The selection of a Loran Scholar focuses on the young person’s character with the belief that integrity, courage, grit and personal autonomy are better indicators of overall potential than standard academic measures.
Gotovsky, a University of Toronto Schools student, founded and leads a robotics team and the Girls in Tech conference. She teaches code to women and youth, plans initiatives for a national student organization and created her school’s foreign language newspaper. She established a companionship program at a retirement residence.
Most of her endeavours began with her desire to solve a problem, she said.
The Thornhill resident’s passion for solving problems began as a child when she would use her limited amount of Lego blocks to build elaborate and complex structures.
Gotovsky now helps others solve their problems by teaching code to women and girls at Canada Learning Code, a digital skills program.
Gotovsky plans on pursuing a degree in computer science at either McGill University or the University of Waterloo. |

My outfit from a few days ago. I love Actual Pains baggy tank tops! They're so comfy and easy to coordinate. I have this one, their "Pentangled" tank and the "Sympathy for the Devil" tank and I love them all!
I also was wearing my white Docs for once. I've had them for years but hardly ever wear them because they don't have a zipper so it takes forever to put them on and off and I am too lazy for that. Its such a shame though because they are so cute.
You should wear them more they are awesome! I never tie my docs propperly, just loosely and then i put the laces through the last hole twice. It's faster to jump in and out :-)
Hmm maybe I'll have to try that out X3 I really do love them, I never broke them in enough to be very comfortable either. I should probably just suck it up and wear them XD

Welcome to Mobilized, the latest All Things Digital blog devoted to all things mobile. Mobilized will cover the wireless world from cell phones to tablets, as well as the networks they run on (or drop calls on).
If you are reading this on your Apple iPhone, Amazon Kindle, BlackBerry from Research in Motion, Google Android or other non-PC device: Congratulations, you are already Mobilized.
But, if you are sitting in front of a laptop or desktop as you are reading this–you might be a little behind the times, although on the plus side, you don’t have to squint nearly as much.
In any case, I am hoping to cut through the jargon and the hype, so that this will be a spot that both the early adopters and the merely curious will be able to find items of interest.
And whether you are a mobile geek or not, mobile technology is poised to reshape your life. Cell phones aren’t just mini-computers and tablets aren’t just notebooks with their keyboards cut off. These products are reshaping not just how we consume media, but also the ways we interact with each
For those that don’t know me, I spent the last decade at CNET, covering everything from Apple and Microsoft to ill-fated products from the Audrey to the Foleo.
While mobile hasn’t been my full-time beat, I have always been a device junkie. I owned a Windows CE 1.0 device and several of the first attempts to marry a phone with a Palm Pilot. Most recently, I have spent the past several years covering Microsoft full-time and recently did a three-part series on the birth of Windows Phone 7.
I am passionate about technology and telling the stories about the people making the products that are changing the way we live. I hope to find room to tell all kinds of different stories in these pages.
I plan to start things off with an interview I did last week in New York with Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci. I also had a chance to catch up there with multitouch pioneer Jeff Han, who is beginning to shift some of his work from giant touchscreens to mobile devices.
Meanwhile, next week is the inaugural D: Dive into Mobile conference. I’ll be providing lots of coverage, of course, including backstage interviews with many of the speakers.
So, that’s my spiel. Be sure to sound off in the forums, whether you think I am right on track or completely off base. You can also drop me a note at the easy-to-remember email: Ina@AllThingsD.com.

Tennessee farmers are cashing in on the local food movement.
The federal government never measured just how much Tennessee farmers sold directly to customers at, say, a farmers market, but when it did (for the first time this year), it found a huge, farm-fresh, steaming pile of cash.
Tennessee consumers spent more than $58.7 million with farmers directly in 2015, according to the first survey on direct-to-consumer sales from the federal government. Across the country, Tennessee ranks 15th for the number of farms selling directly to consumers.
"We know that many people care about what they eat and want to know where their food comes from," said Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Jai Templeton. "This survey shows what that farmer-to-consumer relationship is worth in Tennessee."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted the survey to get data on the growing and changing local-food sectors across the country. It found that 4,148 Tennessee farms sold food directly to consumers in 2015, and more are getting in the game in a hurry.
"The number of farms selling directly to consumers increased more than 500 in the three years since the [last agriculture census]," said Debra Kenerson, a Tennessee state statistician. "This shows tremendous growth in a short period of time."
The farm sales include fresh foods like meat and vegetables but also edible processed foods like bottled milk, cheese, meat, jam, cider, and wine. Farmers sold these goods to institutions like schools, universities, hospitals, wholesalers, and distributors.
But farmers also sold their goods directly to the person who would eat them at farmers markets, farm stores, roadside stands, through community supported agriculture (CSA) arrangements, online sales, pick-your-own operations, and mobile markets.
Sandy Watson, a board member with the Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market, said the more consumers are educated on the importance of eating locally sourced, healthy food, the more likely they are to hit farmers markets for their weekly grocery shopping.
This, Watson said, is fueling the local food movement. That movement is responsible for the year-over-year growth seen at the Cooper-Young market and responsible for the big numbers the government found when looking at direct-to-consumer farm sales.
Those big sales figures, too, provide a "real opportunity for more farmers to capitalize on the 'buy local' movement," Kenerson said.
The strength of that "buy local movement" is a big reason the Cooper-Young market is now open year-round.
"We don't stop eating when winter comes, and many of the local farmers are producing year-round," Watson said. "Our winter market is just as busy as the spring/summer market, and some of the best vegetables are those grown in the winter."
While much of the food consumed in Memphis was not likely grown here, a move is underway to change that. Last year, the East Arkansas Planning and Development District and the Memphis-Shelby County Office of Sustainability launched Delta Roots: The Mid-South Regional Food System Plan.
The plan lays out a 20-year path to a local, sustainable food network here in which consumers will eat more locally grown products and farmers can cash in on the $550 million annual demand for produce in the Memphis area. |
This is the index page of plugins Emily Ravenwood and Ken Irwin have written or written patches for.
Please understand that most of our plugin work is done to fix a specific problem on one of our own sites. These are provided as-is, without support or any guarantee of continued development. That said, we wanted to share the fruits of our problem-solving, and I do hang out on the Support forums now and then. If I see something I can help with, I'll lend a hand.
Dialogue HTML Notifications sends html formatted email notification to the author when there is a new comment or trackback to a post. In addition to the usual comment and meta-information, the text replied to is included.
DHN is designed to work with 2.7 and later native threaded comments. It rewrites the existing post-author notification function so that email notification of new comments quotes the post (for top level comments) or the parent comment (for threaded comments) as well as the new comment.
Notifications preserve the standard information (commenter name, email, IP, url) and the standard links (delete, mark as spam, view entry), plus an extra (view comment thread). They are also html formatted for ease of reading.
Pingback/trackback notifications are formatted similarly, but they do not quote the post in question.
Note! Because any native function can only be rewritten once, DHN will not work if another plugin is also re-writing wp_notify_postauthor. In particular, DHN will not work if Spam Karma is running. Spam Karma can be hacked slightly to remove the conflict, but I do not really recommend this.
To install this plugin, unzip it and load it to your plugins folder, and activate it in the plugins management Admin panel.
Thread Email Notification sends an email notification to the parent-comment author when a reply is made to a threaded comment.
TEN is designed to work with 2.7 and later native threaded comments. It allows comment-conversations to go on without commenters needing to subscribe to a post's rss feed or re-check the page frequently.
Both parent comment and new comment are quoted, and the notification is html formatted for ease of reading. A link to the comment thread is provided for ease of replying. Only the replier's name is disclosed; the email is sent from the WP default address and no other personal information is included.
If the parent comment is by the post author, TEN will not send a notification but leave that to the native author notification function, so as to prevent double notifications. (If you wish to have post-author notifications that quote both parent and new comment, try the Dialogue HTML Notifications plugin.)
This is a plugin to load and display local user avatars (as opposed to an avatar from a central service like Gravatar) in WordPress. It allows registered users with Author or above capabilities to load an image of their choice to use as an avatar on a WordPress installation.
LUA works on top of the get_avatar() function native to 2.5 and later. Your theme must include get_avatar in the comments template in order for LUA to have an effect. In 2.7 and later, this is automatically included in the wp_list_comments function, and will not need to be added as long as your theme uses that function.
To add avatars to earlier versions, open the comments.php file of your theme and paste in <?php get_avatar(); ?> where you wish the avatars to appear.
Warning! Like any file upload function, LUA is a potential security breach. To secure it as best as possible, the upload form cannot be accessed directly, it is set to accept only files with recognized image-type extensions and to be accessible only to users who have file uploading privileges (Author and above). This code can be altered to apply to Suscribers by changing 'upload_files' to 'read', but I do not recommend it unless you personally vet every subscriber and make sure they are a) human and b) trustworthy.
Note: If your theme uses get_avatar to produce post author avatars, this will also affect those. You may, in fact, wish to use this plugin for that purpose. To do so, make sure <?php get_avatar(); ?> is pasted into your theme next to the post author name in archive.php, index.php and single.php.
To install this plugin, unzip it and load it to your plugins folder, and activate it in the plugins management Admin panel. Make sure avatars are enabled, in the Discussion panel.
Go to the Users admin panel and look for the Local Avatar submenu. This page will let you upload, change and delete your local avatar. Your local avatar will take effect immediately upon upload.
This plugin fetches a default LJ-clone icon to use as a commenter's avatar. If a commenter has an LJ-clone account, commenting with username@service (janeuser@livejournal, for example) in the Name field will retrieve their default icon and cache it locally for future use. If they are logged in with OpenID, using an LJ-clone account, that will also work. If none of these is true, the native Gravatar function will go on as normal.
ALA works on top of the get_avatar() function native to 2.5 and later. Your theme must include get_avatar in the comments template in order for ALA to have an effect. In 2.7 and later, this is automatically included in the wp_list_comments function, and will not need to be added as long as your theme makes use of that function.
You may wish to include a note, in your comments.php form, informing commenters that entering username@service as their Name will fetch their LJ-clone icon. (If they happen to use @service.com by reflex, this is not a problem, the plugin will still handle it.)
ALA extracts the avatar size defined in your theme, if any. If none is defined, then avatar size is set to 80x80 pixels.
This plugin is the rewrite of User Icons: LJ and Gravatar, which simply patched Tim Werner's Gravatar and Alexander Bishop's LJ icon-finding plugin. With the advent of a native gravatar function, OpenID, and the proliferation of LJ-clone services, we decided to rewrite this one almost completely. Only Bishop's LJ-icon-fetching code is still included.
Note: If your theme uses get_avatar to produce post author avatars, this will also affect those. This should only happen if the author has entered their LJ-clone account url as the website in their profile.
Admin Overlap Fix fixes the layout bug in 2.7, wherein setting your browser for any font size larger than 12px causes the top level admin menu items to overlap the page content.
AOF inserts a line of CSS into the admin header that rewrites the faulty line of original code. Your menu should then conform to the width of the longest item.
If you require a font size larger than 20px, it is possible that even this plugin will not be sufficient. If that is the case, you may wish to explore the possibilities of the Fluency admin layout plugin or, if you write CSS yourself, the Add Admin CSS plugin.
Folding Archives is a template page that will display your all blog's posts in a collapsed list by year, month and day.
FA is the answer to the problem of WP's inflexible archive display options. Each year and month can be expanded and collapsed to show the months and days underneath them, so your entire blog archives can be browsed on a single page that remains reasonably short.
Unzip archives.php.zip and place the file in your theme folder. The file is compatible with the Default theme, so you will probably want to customize it to your own theme.
To do so, open your theme's page.php. Copy everything except the comments at the top. In archives.php, starting on line 140, replace the code with what you copied from your page.php. Underneath the_content, add the code:
This is what creates the list. You may wish to paste your page.php code in above the existing code and then compare them before deleting the existing code.
If you have not done so already, go to your admin interface and make a new page (page, not post) with a suitable title and any text you wish to appear above your archive list. Select "Archives" from the template dropdown.
The native WordPress function for listing categories comes with an option to show parent-child relations. This involves a lot of repetition, however, so that instead of just X > Y > Z it shows X, X > Y, and X > Y > Z.
SC will take effect anywhere the function the_category() is called, which is most likely to be in index.php, archive.php and single.php, depending on your theme.
By default, the separator between strings of categories is a line break. If you wish to use something different, open up sleek-cats.php and look on line 21, where it says: $sep = "<br/>";
Change <br/> to your prefered separator (a comma or a pipe or anything else you prefer). Make sure that any spacing you want is inside the quotes, for example ", " or " | ".
This plugin generates a form to send a brief, set message, rather than an individual comment, in response to a post. It is designed for fiction archives, though it can be adapted for other uses. Each quick comment generates an email notification.
There is also an option to include a count of quick comments recieved in the post metainfo, in archive view, though this requires you to paste a short line (see readme.txt in the zipped folder) into archive.php.
Place this code in comments.php where you wish the quick comment form to appear (e.g. just before or after the regular comment form:
If you wish to alter the message that is sent, go to line 91 of quick-comment.php; the email notification message is on line 139. The css that controls the appearance of the form, and success or failure notifications, is on lines 61-80.
This plugin was written as a companion for OpenID registration. Some sites that support OpenID also support Simple Registration, which passes on such information as email addresses, but some don't. LiveJournal, for instance, does not. Because I use threaded comments with emailed replies on most of my installations, I needed some fairly unobtrusive way to prompt OpenID LJ visitors to enter their email addresses. This plugin was the result.
If a user is logged in but does not have an email address entered, a form will come up just above the comment form, prompting them to enter an email. Once entered, the email is written to their profile and the form goes away.
This plugin needs to be unzipped and placed in the plugins folder. A brief section of code (see readme.txt in the zipped folder) needs to be placed in comments.php just before the comment form.
This is a slightly altered version of Evan Broder's wonderful LJ Crossposter plugin. The plugin takes posts you make on WordPress and crossposts them on LJ, according to a variety of options you can set and alter individually. It's really a work of art.
It adds on-off switches to all options, so that, eg, you can post with no header/footer at all, if you perfer.
This plugin works straight out of the box. Unzip the file, place it in your plugins folder and you're good to go.
This file contains several patches that can be added to the LJXP plugin. Adding these will require opening the LJXP php file and copying and pasting code into it. Directions are included in the comments of the file.
To prevent crossposting before or after a specified post. If you want only only posts before or after Entry X to be crossposted, use this.
To strip commas from categories. Because LJ's tag separator is a comma, any category that has a comma in it will be broken in two when crossposted. This removes the commas.
To make Hide or Cut Text cuts appear as LJ cuts when crossposted. This is the patch in the patched plugin above. |
Thermo Scientific Electronic Crimpers and Decappers are hand held tools for attaching or removing aluminum seals on 8mm, 11mm, 13mm and 20mm vials. A single press of the button both closes the crimping jaws to attach the seal and opens them to release the vial. You can also remove a seal with a single press of the operation button. The tools are compatible with standard aluminum seals, pressure release seals, tin plated steel seals and bimetal two piece seals.
Thermo Scientific™ HyperSep™ C18 Cartridges feature a highly retentive alkyl-bonded phase for nonpolar to moderately polar compounds. The hydrophobic reversed phase material is retentive for most nonpolar compounds, and retains most organic analytes from aqueous matrices.

McSherry & Hudson has been in business for over 100 years. One principle has stayed consistent, our commitment to providing the best service and advice for our clients so that they can protect and grow their business for future generations.
The oldest of 5 brothers, Eugene McSherry, was forced to quit college while attending Stanford University and return to Watsonville due to the death of his father in 1911. His father had a small business which included insurance, notary public service, and a bookkeeping service which had been started in 1905.
While at Stanford, Gene roomed with Fred R. Hudson, a Watsonville native born in 1890. Fred graduated from Stanford in 1913, majoring in business with an emphasis on insurance. One of his instructors was instrumental in writing the first workers’ compensation law that the state legislature put into law on July 1, 1913.
After Fred had graduated he came to Watsonville to help Gene McSherry with the new law requirements and a working partnership began. Fred began to provide workers’ compensation for many of the Pajaro Valley business.
He told of sitting on the front porch of the Mansion House on Main St. with clients, writing up policies to meet the yearly deadline. A “special agent” (salesperson) from one of the insurance companies was on hand to sign the policies.
McSherry & Hudson became a business center providing not only insurance, bookkeeping, and notary public services, but also real estate appraising, fresh fruit brokerage, and apple packing supply sales.
McSherry & Hudson has been ingrained in Central and Northern California for well over a century, continuing to form relationships built on trust, knowledge, and sound advice. Here is to the next 100 years.

The Honda Fury nonetheless just takes the lunch of the Raider in every conceivable aesthetic parameter, when you aspect in these somewhat modest style spots. The Securing Erect ceiling bicycle stand for vehicles is a perfect option Tandem Bike Rack if you eventually have crossbars on the roof of the vehicle currently. What's more, this can be cheap, roof-mounted bike holder for automobiles, sedans, section wagons and SUVs that lets you preserve the wheels on your own drive (many other programs need you to remove the front wheel). For most of us, problem or rear door mounted bike racks for vehicles are the smartest choice: they're more easy to load and unload.
The very best cycle racks built for automobiles make use of one's vehicle's outside capabilities, solidly keeping your cycle on the exterior of the auto and enabling you to mount them beyond your car, properly. Each one features of connecting an unique means, and goods that are different may suit an alternative kind of auto determined by what design you've, or your real capabilities.
It is a bit more costly, but this problem mounted choice is among the best and best cycle racks for some cars, hatchbacks. I would suggest it to those who have a heavier cycle and it is focused on stability (downhill mountain bikers, this means you!). That is another of the problem centered tray techniques, so you'll need-to ensure your car has one. It is a 2 2 program, meaning it may be easily altered to be always a 2 or a 4 bike service. There's likewise a-2 bicycle car hitch rack version accessible, follow the hyperlink and it should be listed. |

HYANNIS – Business owners and human resource professionals on Cape Cod gathered Thursday in Hyannis and discussed the impact of drug abuse in the workplace.
The monthly meeting of the Cape Cod Human Resources Association featured a panel discussion on the region’s substance use crisis and the liability issues, workplace safety and ways for employers to provide assistance to employees affected by the opioid epidemic.
“When we are talking about substance use you’ve got the legal perspective and then you also have the employer perspective,” said Tammy Cunningham, the president of the association.
Cunningham recommends employers who need advice to contact the Barnstable County Department of Human Services or other local HR professionals.
The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce saw a need to provide services for local businesses due to the opioid epidemic.
Earlier this year a new, affordable employee assistance plan was made available for employers on Cape Cod to help workers and their families receive short-term counseling services.
The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and Rogers & Gray Insurance collaborated to bring the services of North Carolina-based Diamond Healthcare’s REACH EAP program.
The service provides confidential face-to-face, telephone and virtual counseling for employees and their family members who may need help managing stress, anxiety, anger, substance abuse or other issues.
The Chamber and Rogers & Gray secured a special group rate for any employers in the region for just $9.50 per employee per year.
EAPs are a common benefit offered by large corporations, but are usually too costly for small businesses, which make up the majority of the Cape Cod economy.
Of the roughly 8,000 businesses on Cape Cod, 91 percent of businesses employ less than 20 individuals. Companies with only one to four employees make up 61 percent of the businesses on Cape Cod.
All employers on Cape Cod and the Islands are able to join, even those who are self employeed.
The program has rolling enrollment and businesses can sign up every month.

TMI’s Science and Exploration program has strengthened our climate change, conservation, and sustainable development programs through using integrated, applied field research. We developed applied climate change and conservation research programs, higher education resource materials, international photo exhibits, and public presentations. The Science and Exploration program co-managed the High Mountains Adaptation Partnership (HiMAP), funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). HiMAP was initiated in March 2012 following the successful 2009 “Adapting to a World without Glaciers” workshop in Peru and the 2011 “Andean-Asian Mountains Global Knowledge Exchange on Glaciers, Glacial Lakes, Water & Hazard Management” in the Mt. Everest region of Nepal. Created and implemented by The Mountain Institute (TMI) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT), HiMAP has actively strengthened scientific, social, and institutional capacity for climate change adaptation and resilient development, along with disaster risk mitigation. A specific focus has been management of potentially dangerous glacial lakes and other climate-related disasters in glaciated regions of Peru, Nepal, and elsewhere in the high mountain world. The Partnership has implemented a series of innovative and inter-related activities, including:
State of the art rapid reconnaissance methods for the evaluation of potentially dangerous glacial lakes. These have been developed and applied in Nepal and Peru, where they link the best of modern technologies with traditional on-the-ground field methods.
South-south collaboration and exchanges. HiMAP has connected Asian and Andean countries with similar needs in climate adaptation and glacial risk management.
Local Adaptation Plans for Action (LAPAs) for the Khumbu region of Nepal and the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. These local-scale climate-change adaptation plans are based on the principles of full community participation, climate smart development, ecosystem-based adaptation approaches, risk mitigation, and disaster management planning.
A high mountain glacial watershed “community of practice.” The HiMAP community of practice is actively sharing knowledge internationally between high mountain scientists and practitioners, undertaking comparative analyses, implementing climate change adaptation projects, and influencing high mountain policy.
A new generation of mountain-scientists. The young scientists supported by HiMAP are fluent in climate change and adaptation issues, field as well as laboratory methods, integrating traditional knowledge, active community engagement, and climate-smart development in high mountain glacial watersheds.
A portfolio of peer reviewed and popular publications, videos, public, and professional presentations.
Global awareness of the critical importance of high mountain glacial watersheds. Donors, international agencies, and governments are now more familiar with mountain issues thanks to HiMAP.
An Everest Alliance. A collaborative organization of Khumbu residents and visitors has been initiated that will help solve the social and environmental problems of the Mt. Everest region—and later of other iconic mountains worldwide.
The Mountain Institute sends "Peak News" on the first of each month. This brief, e-update covers what's new in our work in the Himalayas, Andes and Western USA, plus the latest from our new Mountain Ecosystem-based Adaptation Program.

In general, banks prefer to have judicial system that apply clear rules and have a well established jurisprudence.
Nevertheless, in emerging economy, banks suffer from the lack of understanding of the judicial system of the banks operations. The specificity of the banking contracts are disregarded by judges. Moreover, the Islamic banks systems are totally ignored.
To avoid the risk of the legal and judicial system in the countries of emerging economy, Arbitration becomes a necessity. Then, the advantages of the arbitration should be kept and solutions to disadvantages should be found. The solutions are at three levels: drafting arbitration clause, establishing an institution of arbitration within the Central Bank and given the arbitration awards the same effect of judicial judgments. |
If you read my last post, you know that I have decided build my own home school curriculum.
Step 4- Deciding on electives and extracurricular activities.
Step 5- Making a weekly schedule: every subject does not have to be taught everyday, combine subjects to fit multi-age groups, etc..
They will do everything together except Language Arts and Math because they are 2 different levels in those subjects. The full school day will run from 3-4 hrs everyday not including P.E which they do with other people, if they are not just playing outside.
I found that short daily lessons with lots of daily repetition is better for my kids, rather than longer lessons done less often. (As in skipping every other day) This is why I do Social Studies 2 days back to back and Science 2 days back to back.
Have I Found a Solution to My Kids Education Needs? |

On Sunday, and Saturday actually, Alfonso had descended upon UK thanks again to The Weekend Workshop once more to impart his knowledge of colors and painting upon us unsuspecting people! Quite the cast and crew appeared once more for this class, many familiar faces from previous classes appeared!
However, due to the family returning from Turkey on the Saturday I was unable to attend.... the whole thing that is!
I dragged Junior along with me for a day out to see the painters and do some bonding time before school begins once more. We even brought some of junior's Lizardmen models, and he had a crack at them over the day..
Which lasted all of 30 minutes before he switched over to legos, or coloring, or more legos, or back to painting or, or, or.. yeah.. you get the picture.. but considering that he was there for the whole day he was quite well behaved ( told by others, not just his old man here! ).
Which as you can see was important as the store began to fill up with painters for both Alfonso's class, and also John's fundamentals class.
But the main purpose of the trip was to see the 2 main guys do their thing, and see what kind of information I could glean off of them.
As you can see from the huddle here, the techniques being taught were highly secretive! And thus held in great esteem and close attention by the attendees there... except Peter. Seems he didn't sleep much and thus was yawning the entire day.
Luckily I was able to sneak a shot of the test piece, and some of the instructions laid out from Alfonso here in the class... the rough sketch of light and shadows was the main focus for the NMM aspects.. and how to break a model into parts was also clear from random paintings on the white paper..
Craziness as always in a painting class.. but with all the teachings, you can see how the students got right down to work here.
Of course Mike was there again, and as always the only thing I could understand from him was his tattoo..
Though while all this was going on, John was also running a beginners class on the fundamentals of painting on a separate table. One that Sam sat on as well, and was looking on with fascination..
Quite the group appeared here to learn how to make paint flow better, where to put highlights and shadows, and general painting theory. Was a unique little class structure that also included a figure ( Hordes Troll ) and 3 Army Painter brushes. Plus John explaining things to you in proper scouse fashion.
No idea how or why John had blue and white paint on his lips, or the black smudge on his face, but junior couldn't stop pointing at it and asking if he should stop painting maybe to clean up.
Though jokes aside, the group learned quite a lot from John, and I think we can see some great looking gaming pieces coming from them soon! Watch out tournaments and local clubs as these guys are aiming for the Best Looking Army awards!
At the end of the event though, we all said our goodbyes. Thanked the teachers. Thanked the owner of the store for letting us take it over for the weekend. And picked up our loot from the weekend of shopping ( I mean we are in a gaming store.. who can resist that temptation? ).
Alfonso also graced the Lee Family with his presence after the workshop and spent some time around the Lee Studio giving some advice on composition for a few pieces. Thanks again for the time spent, and the good chats after what can only be described as a long tiring but successful weekend of teaching!
And I am smiling.. just have too much epic beard to show it properly! Until the next encounter and adventures in painting! Enjoy the day before the end of the week...
That is so cool. Spending time with your junior AND your hobby in the same time is just great. And seems he quite liked it too.
Life long dream mate.. getting to combine the 2... best thing for Junior is when he grows up I will most likely still have plenty unpainted so he can pick and choose what he wants to work on! :D
Having just attended some painting classes...I highly recommend them. It's great you can enjoy them with junior!
Yup. That is my philosophy for the most part. Join and learn from as many sources as you can, while you can! And yes, all the better when I can take junior with me indeed!
Well I have come to the point where I need to call this beauty finished. At least for now. My energy levels are already quite depleted ...

Have you ever been through a series of weeks in your life when you feel like everything is going wrong and you’re being pecked to death by angry chickens? Maybe your work life is insanely busy, or your family’s schedules keep colliding, or you just need to simplify. Perhaps, like me, your kids have been ill and all your appliances decided to break at once. It’s been fun around here, let me tell you. I wrote about ways to connect with your sanity here when things get nutso.
Staying chill in the face of chaos is important. When life goes crazy, though, it’s critical to keep the family ties pulled tightly. Last fall, I had the chance to speak to mothers at my school through the iMom program about shortcuts that will simplify your chaos so that you will have more time left over to connect with your family. Here are a few of the highlights.
Since I have never started, this one is delightfully easy for me. That’s what dryers are for, right? If the thought of letting your iron collect dust gives you heartburn, then only pledge to put your ironing board away until things quiet down. Get yourself a bottle of spray wrinkle remover if you aren’t pleased with your dryer’s de-wrinkling skills. If you’re super-cheap like me, the brand from your dollar store does just fine. I swear that stuff has saved me hours of work and really helped me simplify. This wonder-spray does not work on the stress wrinkles folding in on your face, though. Just sayin’. No, I didn’t try it. Seriously.
Pick up your clutter and stick it in a box or basket until you have time to sort it. You can hide the container of random junk so that your house doesn’t appear completely destroyed. Limit yourself to those couple of chores that will drive you nuts if left unattended. For me, I need to keep the toilets clean and sweep the kitchen floor. Dusting and vacuuming can wait. Febreze will keep the stink under control. Just don’t spray this on your kids in lieu of baths. I haven’t tried this either.
No one ever died from eating a chocolate Pop-Tart for breakfast for a few days in a row. Lunchables won’t kill anyone for a few days either. Throw in a few raw veggies here and there, and you’ve got it made. Now is the not the time for carefully packed Bento Box lunches or gourmet dinners. Hit the local drive-thru and move on. Chicken nuggets never hurt anyone.
Venting to friends is great, but it can be a time suck if neither of you can come to any solutions. Take that time you might usually spend griping to meditate. Sitting quietly and slowing your thoughts down for fifteen minutes is good for the soul and your overall health. You might even come up with a solution or two. Busy times end eventually, but venting uselessly can prolong the agony.
At the end of a long day, I love to aimlessly scroll through Facebook. Spying on everyone reading nice articles on social media has its perks, and watching funny cat videos can soothe a worn-down mind. Limit your time on-line, though. This time-waster can really stymie your productivity. Besides, now isn’t the time to drool over Pinterest projects or look at pictures of beautifully organized Pinterest-y homes. It’ll just make you depressed. Save that luxury for calmer times—like, never?
Now that you’ve simplified by wearing wrinkly clothes, eating junk food, and Febrezing your way to a clean house, take time to really be present with your spouse and your kids. Discuss their days, make something, color, or play a game. It’s amazing how little time an Uno match will take, but your kids will benefit greatly from that fifteen minutes of uninterrupted time with you.
This craziness will pass. Trust me. Life will get back to normal eventually. But while you’re waiting for things to slow down, your kids are growing up. Your job, schedules, and other obligations don’t deserve to take these years away from you. So head to your nearest fast food joint, load up on some fries and shakes, and head to the prettiest place in your town for a little picnic. It only takes a few minutes to make a memory!
So simple. yet so true, Jennifer. Your lighthearted suggestions to a simpler life are funny, helpful and important. When all is said and done, I’m sure your children will think back on many wonderful times making happy memories with family. Thanks for reminding us what is important! Wish I had done a better job. Enjoy your bogs. |
As well as solving the problem of messy servings, this looks glamorous enough to serve to guests, has far fewer calories than traditional cheesecake and takes only 10 minutes to make. What’s not to like?
Soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. Warm the lemon juice.
Beat together the cheese, yoghurt, half the sugar, and finely grated lemon zest till smooth. Squeeze out the gelatine, add to the hot lemon juice, and swirl around to dissolve. Add the the cheese mixture and stir thoroughly.
Spoon into four attractive glasses and refrigerate till set (at least an hour). Meanwhile put the rest of the sugar and the fruit in a small pan and simmer gently for 5 minutes, just to thaw the fruit and dissolve the sugar. Tip into a bowl to cool. Pound the biscuits with a rolling pin or pulse in the food processor to make large crumbs (not powder).
To serve, spoon the fruit over the cheese mixture, and scatter over the crumble.
Note: sheet gelatine is far easier to use than the powdered sort — it dissolves instantly, with no danger of nasty lumps.
Hey partner. Coming across from the T&C challenge this month.
I am undecided as to whether I would like to make the Cheesecake, rearranged or your Lemon Cheesecake.
I’ve never used gelatine sheets… only the powdered kind. I guess I’d better start a search for where I can obtain them.
Me again, have you any details on the sheets of gelatine you use??? I love to be able to convert the sheets to powder if necessary.
Do you have any details such as weight of each sheet, conversion, etc?
hmm, I’m in France so it’s difficult to recommend anything. It’s standard to get gelatine in sheets here; I’ve never seen powder. Sheets are much easier to use, but you can of course use powder instead. I googled a bit and most sites seem to suggest that one 1/4 oz (7g) packet of powder is equal to 3-4 sheets of gelatine. I would err on the low side, because I dislike really firm jellies, and in the case of the Cheesecake, Rearranged you aren’t turning it out, so it doesn’t matter if it’s on the soft side. |

Tara and I have been married for 15 years, and we have 3 biological children. In 2014, we took a missions trip to the country of Haiti. It was durring that time that we feel in love with Haiti and it's people. God truly broke our hearts for the need that is there, and began stirring our hearts with compassion. On the plane ride home, we knew God was calling us to something, we just weren't sure what it was yet.
A few weeks later, we knew what God was leading us to...adopt a child from Haiti. It was not a hard decision to adopt, because we really feel like it's a calling on our lives. We spent months praying about it just to make sure our decision was not an emotional one. So after much prayer, we knew exactly what we were to do, adopt from Haiti! Not to our surprise, our 3 children are so excited about the direction our family is going. We have never seen his face, but he already has a place and a name here in our hearts.
We know that this is something God has called us to and we are stepping out in faith to follow His calling. International adoption is a very expensive journey, but we belive that if God has called us to it, He will see us through it. We also belive that God will use other people to see this calling come to fruition. We are using Adoption Bridge as a way to encourage other people to be apart of saving a life! Giving hope to a child who is in great need. We can do so much more together than we can alone. We ask you to please prayerfully consider partnering with us, both in prayer and financially. Thank you so much!
Isaiah 42:1 - "I have called you by name and you are Mine."

May God Bless you as you live out the adoption we have been granted in Jesus Christ.
Praying for you all and Isaiah. We look forward to meeting your son. All our love and support!
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. ~Galatians 6:10 Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Isaiah! What a blessing to know that when God created Isaiah, he was created to be a part of the Olsen Family. God is Amazing!
God bless your family (including Isaiah)!
We are praying for your family! Can't wait till he's home!

So excited for your family. Glad we could be a part of it.
We are so excited for you and pray that the adoption process goes smoothly.
It is exciting to see you guys follow God's leading and adopting Isaiah from Haiti! I will be praying for you guys throughout your journey.
If there is ANYTHING I can do to help your family prepare for Isaiah please let me know. We hope to give more in the future. We still have our own adoption expenses leftover.......Let me know if it would help your children to talk to Claire about what it is like to have a new sibling in the family. We will keep your family in our prayers! We are so happy for you!
I love you all so much! Can't wait to meet Isaiah! |
In today's "I need it yesterday" marketplace, many security firms are forced to put their client's need above our own. Security companies spend so much time protecting the assets of others that they neglect the protection of their own valuable assets. Here are two simple steps to make sure you've got a handle on protecting your own property:
Take an inventory. How long has it been since you updated your inventory records? If tools or protective devices were stolen or damaged, would you have the necessary information for the police or insurance company? Keeping an accurate list of all of your equipment, including the acquisition price, date of purchase, manufacture model & serial numbers will speed up claim payments and may assist law enforcement in returning your property.
Determine the value of your property. When was the last time you calculated how much you spent on your furniture, fixtures and equipment? It is essential to take into consideration not only what these items originally cost, but also how much you will need to get your operation started again, should you suffer a loss.
Once you've assessed your property, call us so we can implement a program that will maximize your coverage while minimizing your costs. |
Xbox 360 Self Portraits, by Marque Cornblatt, are executed within various games available on the Xbox 360 game console. The artist’s avatar and all other elements were created using the “character creation” tools provided within each game. There was no use of hacking, programing, or other methods beyond the options provided within the game itself used to augment each piece. The inherent limitations of the game tools present a conceptual challenge to craft digital representations of the self which accurately reflect the nature of the artist’s personae, vs. the essentialized character presumed by the game’s designers. |

Oliver Chin has written Julie Black Belt and more books.
Kenji Ono worked at DreamWorks Animation.
"Old meets new in this original story that celebrates the forthcoming Year of the Monkey with superhero-style comic art... How Max and Kai, his human partner, progress through a big-time tournament makes for an exciting trajectory and a charming affirmation. The take-away: Find your own way. This 11th book in the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series has energy, adventure and culture."
"Illustrated by professional animator Kenji Ono, the dynamic artwork makes the zodiac animals jump off the pages. It's great fun to look for all 12 animals appearing throughout the book... Max exudes energy and determination, two wonderful traits to carry into the Year of the Monkey to achieve your dreams."
..".the eleventh in Oliver Chin's highly acclaimed Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series is another winner, combining the playfulness that makes the stories so appealing to young readers with some good role-modelling... the cover is enough to demonstrate that the illustrations are as energetic as the narrative... Children will love the energy of both the narrative and the animation-inspired pictures in The Year of the Monkey - and alongside the humour there is a depth to the story, as young readers observe how Max doesn't give up when he realises that Jianzi is harder than he first thought and also learns to save his mischief for playtime. The book is another great addition to the Tales of the Zodiac series, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable stand-alone story for this Year of the Monkey and beyond."
"Ono's experience in 'moving pictures' is easily recognizable here, as Max's never-still energy can hardly be contained."
"I can easily see this book on school library bookshelves as its subject matter is really quite universal. The book is filled with strong action verbs, some which may be new to youngsters. These wonderful examples convey how words, complemented by fun illustrations, can add to the overall reading experience even make reading aloud for parents enjoyable and entertaining."
"I liked all of the colorful illustrations and the overall messages of teamwork, practice, courage, and determination. I think this book is a fun way to introduce children to the lunar new year. Be sure to point out the other animals in the Chinese zodiac that are shown throughout the book. We had fun searching for them on the different pages!"
"The story is very well written... The bold, bright illustrations are a perfect match for the lively, action-packed story... The Year of the Monkey is a fun, colorful, adventurous story of friendship, spirit, and determination, and a great addition to the Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series."

Since schizophrenia is a brain disorder, it is usually treated with antipsychotic medications. In addition to the medication, it may also be treated with therapy. This disorder needs to be managed with medication but there are also substitute options that you can pair with that. New studies show that cbd gummy can help in treating some health conditions like schizophrenia.
It is said that people who suffer from schizophrenia have low levels of folic acid or B9, so taking these supplements can help reduce the symptoms of the disorder. It could also be beneficial to start taking vitamin C, E, and D supplements.
Fish oil is packed full of omega-3 fatty acids. These are known to help reduce inflammation in parts of the body and many mental illnesses are caused, in part, by inflammation. Schizophrenia is included in this. Another thing is this helps heart health and people with schizophrenia are at higher risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome, which can cause heart issues.
Glycine is an amino acid and it works with glutamine, which helps enhance the functions of the brain. High doses of glycine might help antipsychotic drugs to treat this disorder. There are some drugs, like clozapine, that glycine might actually make less effective.
While diet change doesn't work for everyone, there are people who have benefited from it. The diets that have been shown to help are: the ketogenic diet and a gluten free diet.
Since medication is needed to help with this disorder, don't just stop taking your meds and decide to do some of these treatments. Make sure you discuss to your doctor before starting anything because some of these might make your medication less effective. Ask your doctor what he or she recommends and see what else you can do to help your specific needs. |
I spied a couple of new restaurants that I wanted to try while I was and miserable, back to reality from my vacation. I made Ara go with me, and she let me decide what restaurant I wanted to try. And I decided this. They serve organic food, a new thing in the local restaurant scene.
I ordered an appetizer of stuffed mushroom, then ordered the breakfast (or was it sunrise) burger, while Ara ordered a Japanese inspired burger with wasabi mayo and nori in the sandwich.
was hungry by that time 🙂 It was really good. Fresh mushrooms, stuffed with Italian sausage and some cheese, coated in some heavenly glory, then topped served in a tomato sauce. That was really good.
The burgers arrived along with some seasoned shoestring french fries. The burgers cost P490, and seriously, it wasn’t that great. Maybe we were paying for the organic price tag, and the ambiance and service, but really… Our food looked alike, except for the toppings and sauces. The food tastes different though, and I like Ara’s burger more than mine I think. More flavor. The egg addition was abysmal, though I love egg generally. |

We all know how good oats are.
Oats in a jar, oats with nut butter, oat cookies, oats in granola, oats in smoothies and stovetop oats.
This time, I wanted to fluff up my oats. I mean really puff those babies up and give them a big head like they deserve.
Make your oatmeal on the stovetop as usual. I used part milk, water and honey vanilla flavored coffee creamer and McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. Beat 4 egg whites, cream of tartar and cinnamon in a medium bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. When there is just a little bit of liquid left in your oatmeal on the stovetop, fold in the beaten egg whites and continue to stir while cooking on medium low heat for 3-5 minutes. Keep stirring until oatmeal gets as thick as you like it. Spoon into a bowl and serve!
Add sweetener or vanilla/almond extract if desired to flavor your fluffy oats!
I used part water, part skim milk and part honey vanilla flavored coffee cream liquid as the base for my bowl of oats.
Can you see the egg whites in the oats? Puffed it up alright!
I should have drizzled on some nut butter or something, but this just tasted really good as is!
I have OATMEAL fever. Do you?
I love pomegranates on my oats!
I know there are a ton of toppings to put on a bowl of oats, but if you could only choose 1 thing to put on your oatmeal bowl, what would it be?
This entry was posted in Deliciousness and tagged Egg whites, oatmeal. Bookmark the permalink.
Wow! I never would’ve thought about egg whites in oatmeal. Sounds delicious!
PB definitely my topping of choice.
I like oats but really only eat them on the weekend when I have time to make it on the stovetop. I’ve heard about eggwhites in oatmeal but it kinda skeeves me out when I’ve heard about it. But now I see the visual and yours are gorgeous!
I’m loving the fluff idea!
Is the egg whites taste strong? Or can you not taste them?
I didn’t really taste them!
would have never thought of that! does it taste pretty different from regular oatmeal?
So much better than regular oatmeal! |

The Media Research Center is reporting ABC openly admitted this past Sunday to having published “fake news” about the Trump administration “losing” 1,500 migrant children, a debunked story that quickly caught fire and spawned countless hashtag campaigns and anti-ICE protests across the country.
Now, according to MRC, well after the myth has been permanently ensconced as fact in the brains of millions of rapid anti-Trumpers nationwide, ABC's admitting the entire thing was false – but, in a stunning feat of mental gymnastics, they claim the bogus story ended up being a good thing.
In an article actually entitled, “A fake news story helps expose a real crisis,” author Lauren Pearle admits the Trump administration was unfairly accused of having “lost” 1,500 kids who’d crossed the southwest U.S. border illegally – a claim I’d disputed in a video roughly four weeks ago, only to be accused of Nazism by radical progressives.
But by ABC’s own admission, the administration didn’t “lose” anyone; they’d simply placed these kids with sponsors, usually a family member, who didn’t respond when the government tried to check up on the child.
The network suggests the “fake news” ended up being a great thing because it blew the lid off the Trump administration’s family separation policy. Here's an actual excerpt from ABC's piece:
“But all the digging had uncovered a separate issue that had also been reported, but had not yet captured the nation’s full attention: the Trump administration’s practice of separating migrant children from their parents at the southern border, which accelerated under the ‘zero-tolerance’ policy announced in April.
“...That outcry, which reached a fever pitch in recent weeks, took months to unfold. And it largely began with a search for children who probably weren’t missing after all."

Originally released in the 70's, the API 525 is a "feedback" type compressor, such as the 1176 and 660, etc. An input (threshold) control and output (make-up gain) control are provided. An additional "Ceiling" fine tune function modifies threshold and make-up gain for precise changes in compression without changes in output. A compression/limit switch sets ratio at either 2:1 or 20:1. Attack time is as fast as 15u/s. Four auto release modes are offered via two switches, 0.1s, 0.5s, 1.5s, & 2.0s. A De-Ess function inserts an inverse vocal energy curve filter in the detector for effective sibilance/p-pop reduction. The 525 is an identical re-issue of one of the most popular API products ever.
The API 527 takes it's place alongside the family of API VCA based compressors, the 225L and the 2500 Stereo Bus Compressor. Anyone familiar with those units will immediately be at home with the 527. Features common to the line like "feed forward" (NEW) and "feed back" (OLD) gain reduction methods selectable on the front panel, provide a choice of "that old way", or "the new way" of compression, for the highest level of flexibility in signal gain control. The "old way" or Feed-Back method is what most of the classic compressors used for the gain control circuit. The "new way" gain reduction is more typical of the newer VCA type compressors that rely on RMS detectors for the gain control voltage.
4 bandes paramétriques / 4 unités configurables avec préamp et / ou EQThe API 550 EQ played a major part in the history of music recording in the USA during the 60's and 70's. Originally conceived for use in API's consoles, this latest 550 "B" version is a continuation of the original 1967 550 through the 550A with one additional filter band and several new frequencies. Incorporating API's exclusive circuitry and proprietary components (such as the legendary API 2520 op-amp), the 550B artfully blends the past with the present. So many hit records still depend on the unique 550 sound, that the 550B will be an invaluable tool you will turn to again and again. The API 550B-unlike any other you will ever use.
10 bandes graphiques / 4 unités configurables avec préamp et / ou EQ Originally conceived for use in API Consoles of the 60's and 70's, the API 560 re-issue is a unique device designed to accomplish tasks that no other EQ can do. It delivers that "one-of-a-kind" API sound, precision easy set filtering, and high headroom in a very small package. Extremely fast to set and reset using accurate zero detents, the curve shaping potential of the 560 is unmatched. At home both in field recording and the studio environment, this "new-old" version is a re-issue of the original 560 with improved resolution in the critical area of ±4 dB. Incorporating API's exclusive circuitry and proprietary components (such as the legendary 2520 op-amp), the re-issue of the 560 artfully blends the past with present-...

It’s always such a nice getaway – not only do I enjoy her company and spending time with family, but there’s the accompanying “perk” that I’m not at home, facing a weekend “Gotta Get this Crap Done” list of house/car/clothing cleaning, repairs, bills, budgeting and other nasty-but-necessary aspects of growed-up life.
Being here, far from the visual reminders of domestic responsibility, means that I can read, blog, read other blogs, work on my website, take on-line classes, create a photo book for our recent Burns Supper celebration and otherwise indulge myself in the “me” time I can rarely schedule when I’m at home.
If we were having coffee, I’d ask what you’ve been watching on TV (should you watch TV) because I’ve been recently obsessed with Broadchurch.
I’m a huge Dr. Who Fan and love David Tennant’s Doctor, but this Tennant is a dark and flawed character, driven by pain and failure – very different from his charming and powerful Time Lord. A mesmerizing plot and really detailed and wonderful character development, added to the gorgeous scenery of coastal Dorset, kept me riveted through Seasons 1 and 2.
So far, they’ve succeeded with The Bletchley Circle, which I got half-way through last night. However, this time, I swear I’m going to ration myself and not serial watch it all this weekend. Does that happen to you?
If we were having coffee, I’d ask you to grab your cup and come to the kitchen. Linda just made pancakes! Would you like some with blueberries or without? There’s butter and maple syrup – help yourself.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that we had an amazing time at our Burns Supper celebration last week and I’m looking forward both to blogging about it and to making another photo book for all the guests, like I did a few years ago. We’ve got so many awesome pictures and happy memories, it’s nice to gather them all in one place.
Which reminds me, while I’m not on an agenda, I guess I kinda am! I need to get working on my book, and I’m feeling fairly inspired, so I’ll thank you for stopping by, remind you to schedule us again for next week and wish you a wonderful weekend full of all the things that make you happy!
I’d also like to thank Nerd in the Brain – I’ve enjoyed her “If We Were Having Coffee” posts so much, it inspired me to brew up a pot and join you all here at #WeekendCoffeeShare.

Jessica Jones was awwwesome. And Tennant was wildly creepy in that one. Have you watched Daredevil? I liked that one a lot as well, even though the constant physical battery made me a little uncomfortable. Way too realistic.
Welcome and thanks so much for the coffee and pancakes (please tell Linda, thanks too)! A co-worker of mine loves Broadchurch. She has loaned me a DVD but I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. Sounds like I need to find time! Enjoy your weekend.
It is great to meet you and your MIL. I don’t watch TV so I can’t comment on your shows. I was not addict to it as a child. It was available.
I grew up without TV, I was in college when it started. As your livehood depends on it. I can understand watching it.
I’d still probably prefer a good book!
Welcome! Lovely to meet you – I love that photo of you with the huge smile.
That’s my Mother-in-Law, Linda. She does have a lovely smile – thank you!
My husband and I feel so lucky that our families get along so well – we’ve actually all gotten to be friends (ack – getting older must do that!) and we have such a great time vacationing and spending holidays together! It is a really wonderful thing and I’ve grown to be very grateful for it.
I found myself surprisingly mesmerized by Broadchurch – it really is a very different David Tennant – but it’s such a fascinating psychological thriller and they take the time to develop the characters – it’s much more like a visual novel (if that makes sense) verses somewhat typical police dramas that count on sensationalism and violence to build an audience.
It does move a little slowly, but it didn’t bother me. You should check out Bletchley Circle as well – I thought it such an original premise and so far, very enjoyable.
I’ll definitely have to give both of those a try! I’m at home a lot in the daytime, and I like to have the TV on while I’m working just to keep me company.
I saw Broadchurch too. Was good. Just as Bletchley Circle. I saw it twice as a matter of fact, once by myself and once with Kim. I have to tell you, it was better with Kim. Everything is better with someone.
I’m only getting to these right now, nearly a week late. I spent a good chunk of last Sunday watching documentaries on PBS. Most of the time, it’s Star Trek: Enterprise for me, because Trip and T’Pol (I don’t really need any other reason, really, but #itswritingresearch, too!).
Today is all about Welcome to Night Vale podcasts, because I promised my 11 year old I’d be ready to listen to the next one with her on Monday, but I was over 20 episodes behind, since I was a later adopter than she was. I’m closing that gap, though!
I hope your visit and break from ‘growed-up’ things – and that the book creation was lovely. I enjoyed the coffee but skipped the pancakes, as I’m not a fan. |

Need creative ideas for summer? The first week or two is always a blur, but once optimal routine sets in you may find yourself fresh out of ideas for the summertime. When you need a quick, fun activity you don’t want to get sucked into hours on Pinterest; you need something to do with your children to keep things lively and creative. So, here you go–30 ideas for 30 days worth of fun and creativity.
You can use this list/calendar as a guide by doing one of the activities daily. Or if you want to spread them out, you can choose to pick an activity a day Monday through Friday lasting for the next 6 weeks. If you want to get crazy, you can mix all the ideas up and then allow your children to pick one a day. Make yourself a “creative jar” so you can be spontaneous. It’s entirely up to you.
For preschoolers keep it simple and use markers to draw pictures. Have them find something blue, something brown, something round, something sharp, something soft and something hard. For the elementary school aged child, use more complex ideas such as something that tastes good, something you would feed your dog, something that starts with “T.” Keep it fun and straightforward.
Take some water bottles (the kind with the squirt lid) fill with water and have a contest to see who can “paint” the most creative image on your driveway or blacktop. Keep it even more interesting by saying the picture is completed when the bottle of water is gone…no more water refills.
Use some fresh fruit, blend with a small amount of water and then put into popsicle molds for a wonderful afternoon treat. Our favorite is 2 bananas, 6 strawberries and ½ cup water blended and poured into molds. If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use old yogurt containers and freeze the delicious fruit blend with a fork stuck smack dab in the middle.
Find a fun meal; it can be anything you want, and learn to use chopsticks together. Use them for an entire day. If your child is very young, take your chopsticks and a small bouncy ball and secure the bouncy ball between the chopsticks at one end so your child can master it with more control. If you didn’t know already, you could also buy trainer chopsticks.
Using a vegetable peeler and long carrots (not the mini baby carrots) slice off long shreds of carrot and then make into a fresh “spaghetti” of sorts allowing your child to eat their vegetables with their fingers. For added fun, dab a bit of ranch dressing over the top and have them eat their “spaghetti” with chopsticks!
Grab a stick of chalk and a few rocks, the rules are simple, and the game is quick. Simply draw out your squares, put numbers in them and when you roll your rock, you have to skip the square where the rock landed while you are hopping on one leg down the row of blocks.
Put all ingredients (except food coloring) into a saucepan and stir over medium heat until a solid forms, add food coloring and cool before enjoying with your children. You can even add 1 drop of essential oil for a scented play dough experience, like having an aromatherapy sensory toy!
This can be done running, jumping, talking, singing, counting, whatever you do, do it backwards. Kids seem to enjoy it if this also translates to meal time and they get to eat dessert first!
Beyond handprints, use your fingers and some non-toxic paint, and then have fun. It is best when you can do this activity outdoors so clean up is a breeze. If you are not brave enough to endure the finger paint, or if it is a rainy day, use Q-tips and call it painting with stilts.
This can be done as a scavenger hunt where you look for a flower that is white, one that is yellow, one that smells good, one that smells bad, etc. What makes this activity even more fun is if you save some of your treasured finds and then press them in a book. After a week or so, when the flowers dry out, you can make bookmarks by ironing the flowers between layers of waxed paper.
Pack up something simple and grab a flat sheet then head out. You can make this one as elaborate, or as simple as you choose. Go to a park you have never been to or sit in the middle of your yard and do be sure to lay on your back for a quick game of cloud shapes afterwards.
This can work for girls or boys, boys can turn their “crown” into a chain, and every little girl wants a flower crown. Simply find the longest stem dandelions you can and begin by braiding the stems together, add more dandelions as you braid until you start a chain. (Similar to French braiding but much simpler). You can finish off the crown with a bread tie or allow the chain to go on for as long as you like.
Every child should have the experience of running barefoot in the summer through a sprinkler, be sure your kids don’t miss out on this nostalgic childhood experience.
Use waxed paper to cut out a shape (heart, circle, square) and then use Elmer’s glue to add scraps of colored tissue paper. Once hung in the window your waxed paper shape (circle, square or diamond) will look almost like a stained glass window with the colored tissue paper and light shining through.
This is almost a scavenger hunt in itself because first you need a “Y” shaped stick and a large rubber band. Once you have found two of these items that work well together, watch out, and be sure to have eye protection available. It works really well to take your invention to a nearby water source (pond, creek, lake) and shoot the rocks into the water. If not available, use marshmallows as your shots.
A balloon, newspaper strips, some flour and a little water is all you need. Mix equal parts water and flour for the glue and dip the strips of newspaper in them before laying in thin layers over the inflated balloon. Let each layer dry thoroughly before adding the next. After drying overnight, check for any remaining wetness and then either layer some more or stick a pin inside to pop the balloon so that you now have a hollow shape you can paint, fill with candy for a homemade piñata, or make a hot air balloon craft.
If you don’t have fresh lemons to squeeze you can use 1 cup lemon juice, 2 cups sugar and fill a 2 quart pitcher full of water. If you want to do it like the carnival and fair workers, add ¼ cup sugar and 1/8 cup lemon juice to a plastic cup, fill with ice and water and invert a second plastic cup over the top, then shake for a lemon shakeup.
Using a sandwich baggie add 5 cotton balls saturated with water, 3 bean seeds and seal the bag. Tape it to a sunny window and watch as days go by and sprouts start to grow.
You can buy a packet of these at your local dollar store and plant them inside in a sunny spot or outside in a container, water often and enjoy the beautiful colors that spring up.
You need to visit a creek or a pond for this one, but a rock skipping class can last for quite a while. Look up rock skipping on youtube if you are unfamiliar with techniques, this is definitely an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
Ask your child what their favorite breakfast items are and make dinner out of it. This is even more fun if you let your child help with the meal prep. Your toddlers can put the eyes and nose (using chocolate chips or raisins) onto a teddy bear shape that you make too.
This can be as entertaining as you like, depending on the age and daring nature of your child. The challenge is to guess what is placed on the tip of your tongue and the experimenter can choose whatever they like from the refrigerator, watch out, this can bring lots of laughter, and again this is one that mom should join in on!
A unique sensation, and if you don’t have mud, simply add water to the dirt and make some fresh mud to do this one with. Join in with your child if the mood strikes you, definitely a fun activity everyone should try at least once.
Take a banana (peel on) and slice from one end to the other, slightly open the slit to add chocolate chips and nuts and then bake the “banana boats” at 350 for approximately 20 minutes or until soft and melted. Eat by scooping out the cooked banana and toppings with a spoon.
It’s a rite of passage for any child to have climbed a tree. For the younger ones, find yourself a sturdy pine tree (the branches are lower to the ground). For the older ones just give some tips about sturdy branches. Now let them turn into the little monkeys you have seen them be.
If you can’t remember any of the jump rope rhymes from your childhood, just look up a few on the internet. Bonus points if you can teach them to double dutch!
Another youtube opportunity if you don’t already know how to play string games. All you need is about 3 feet of string tied into a knot to form a continuous loop. Even little ones can get in on this and it helps with fine motor skills.
These can be used for decoration or turned into bookmarks when folded. Take a coffee filter and some markers, then have your child make dots or lines with the marker before misting with water which creates a tie-dye pattern.
This one requires a bit of forethought as you need to take a small toy (Lego man or mini toy) and put it in a small amount of water in your refrigerator. For each of your children, you’ll want some little Dixie cups or other small containers filled with water. The object is to melt all of the ice off and free the item trapped inside. You be the judge to see who can do it first.
Summer is such an amazing time in our children’s lives, the weather is usually beautiful, there is little to no school happening and time is plentiful. Enjoy the days with your kids and be sure to let them see mom having fun and being silly right along with them. Enjoy, they don’t stay little long.

What a wonderful resource! There are so many great ideas here. Thank you for sharing this post and the free printable with Hearth and Soul. Sharing on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page. Hope to ‘see’ you at the party again this week!
Love to eat with chopsticks! I haven’t tried that with the kids yet. Thank you for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thanks so much, Pat! 🙂 Always lovely to see you here. I hope you, and your readers, find some great activities to enjoy.

There is something to be said about old fashioned hospitality, the kind of days gone by where ladies in dresses visited for tea and always had a gift for the hostess. This is no longer an expected form of politeness, in fact, if you arrive at a friend’s home and present her with a hostess gift, she may well be taken aback. It is no longer a well-established custom in our fast paced culture. However, as with many of the older ways of doing things, it is worth bringing back. The next time you are invited to the home of a friend, be it for a barbecue or a family game night, try one of these awesome hostess gifts that are sure to make you a favorite guest.
Nothing says I thought of you like a monogrammed gift. You know that the giver didn’t re-gift it and they actually gave some significant thought into what they did for you. The nice part is that you can often find monogrammed boards and other monogrammed gifts at places like Hobby Lobby.
Think Godiva, Harry & David or some other delectable, with chocolates you really can’t go wrong. It would be a rare gal who would not delight in a fancy box of high-end deliciousness. If you are feeling extra creative, how about chocolate covered blueberries or coffee beans?
Not every girl is a writer, but many of us are list keepers. Just having an unscathed and clean slate to use for whatever you desire is a luxury. There are so many beautiful versions of blank journals you can get as fancy or plain as you like.
Something tasty and foreign is always a good choice. Imported coffee or flavored coffee is like a piece of paradise in a vacuum sealed package. Bonus points here if you can come up with something she has never tried before, and if she is not a java princess, go for some unique tea samplers.
If not monogrammed then pretty blank cards, a handwritten note is almost as wonderful as an old-fashioned hostess gift. Provide her the carrying device for a beautiful note to a friend or loved one.
Find her a statement piece, one that is functional yet showcases her personality. We all like to look beautiful, even if we are trying to protect our clothing underneath while whipping up a fabulous meal for guests. If you need inspiration check out some Etsy finds in the apron department.
Whichever the gift, a sweet note of thanks for her hostessing talents presented with a thoughtful gift can go a long way in letting her know just how appreciative you are and how special she is.

Great gift ideas for hostesses! I would be more than happy with any of these especially the chocolates and gourmet coffee!
As a family of 12, we would use the money for Christmas gifts or to help our oldest fly home to see us!!
A friend gave me a beautiful, monogrammed cutting board a few years ago as a Christmas/hostess gift… I have enjoyed using it so much.
I hope all is well with you and yours this Christmas season. 🙂 I know it can be difficult trying to keep the budget in line around Christmas.
With the extra $420, I would buy a special gift for my husband. We rarely exchange gifts for Christmas because we are always focused on gifting others.
How awesome! We’ve been working on teaching our children about being a blessing to others and focusing on what we can do for them.
Thank you so much for offering this $420 Paypal giveaway! I would use half of this money to gift a family in need in my community and the other half to provide my family with a gift each person really wants.
I pray all goes well. I often mention our children with special needs and sometimes I wonder if we will get caught up. We always do, but it can sure feel like a challenge sometimes.
I make homemade hot pads and always give them as a hostess gift for a party or any invite.Practical, pretty, and easy to both make or buy.
I always tell the hostess to be sure to throw away her ugliest pair when adding the new ones to her drawer. Everyone always laughs and says they know exactly which ones they will throw out! We are a family with 12 children , so I decided long ago that if anyone was brave enough to invite us they ought to be thanked in a special way!!! : )
I’m so sorry to hear this. 🙁 We had some unexpected expenses come up recently ourselves and so many unexpected changes around the holidays can make it difficult. I hope things work out for you.
An extra $420 this Christmas would be such an incredible blessing! We live with my in-laws & I would use it to help us all get on top of & ahead of bills! |
ESTERO, FL - The Gulf Coast Fire have signed their first three players, all with arena football experience. Offensive Line Mike Dunn, Linebacker Mikail Binns, and wide receiver/defensive back Zach Culvahouse have agreed to terms with the Fire for the 2019 season.
"As soon as I learned I would be the Head Coach in Estero the first two names that popped into my head were Mike "Thor" Dunn and Zach Culvahouse. Both have big game experience indoors and both are local products having graduated from Estero High School. They fit exactly what we are trying to build here and I trust them fully to get the job done." said Head Coach Brent Burnside.
Culvahouse graduated from Estero High school in 2012, where he played three years of varsity football. During his Junior and Senior year he eared All Conference honors. After high school he played at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH. In 2014 he was third team all region, and first team all North Coast Athletic Conference. He broke the record for most receptions in a game and was the fourth receiver to break 1,000 yards in a season.
In 2017, he played professionally for the Florida Tarpons and started at slot receiver helping lead the team to the championship game.
6'3" 275 pound Mike Dunn also an Estero High School alumni, played his college football with Webber International before playing three years with the Florida Tarpons. He was part of the 2015 Florida Tarpons, X-League Championship team.
Linebacker Mikhail Binns played for the Florida Tarpons while they were based in southwest Florida.
Burnside added, "Binns is a guy who has been around the indoor game for several years. I admire his passion and he is another guy that has big game experience with me. He is a local coach and his knowledge for the game will be an asset." |

The Amoyo Performing Arts Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation for children based in Hout Bay, Cape town, South Africa.
Our MISSION is to uplift the communities of Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg, one child at a time, through an after-school and holiday programme offering high-quality dance, drama, music and performance classes.
Our VISION is that each Amoyo child will continue into tertiary education after school, equipped not only with performing arts skills but also with the life skills, self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline to conquer life successfully.
Our PHILOSOPHY is one of gratitude. Amoyo means “spirit of appreciation” (appreciating everything and everyone) and our unique approach to upskilling and empowering the children of Hout Bay is already having a huge impact, not only on the children but on their families and the broader community, too.
Amoyo is so much more than just a performing arts training programme. Our classes are a platform to engage with our youth, to show them we care about them, about the choices they are making, that we are there to support and help them develop into successful, employable adults. The Amoyo journey aligns skill development with self-respect, respect for others, integrity, emotional intelligence and communication skills needed to survive in the fast paced professional world outside of their immediate environment of poverty, neglect, criminal and gang activity.
It’s amazing what you’re doing at Amoyo. I look forward to visiting when I’m back in Cape Town soon.
At AMOYO, we greatly appreciate any donation big or small, enabling us to continue to help enrich and support the lives of these children.
Amoyo is an after school and weekend performing arts training platform (dance, acting, singing) working with over 150 impoverished children from the townships in Hout Bay.
Mbuzeli is going to be our new fundraiser and has extensive experience in the NGO sector, specialising in resource development and organizational sustainability.
He has gained and applied almost two decades of know-how in various settings in the non-profit space. Having studied Administration and Human Resources Management at the University of Fort Hare, he enrolled at the Damelin Correspondence College pursuing a Certificate in General Management.
As a family man, he brings to Amoyo love for and commitment towards youth development. |
I think I am quite the copy cat sometimes. I do think of my own ideas (sometimes), but I like to copy what others have done because it's oh so cool. I love reading all of the great ideas out there on the web. What did I do before this? Was I more productive because I wasn't on the computer as much or less because I wasn't as inspired as much which leads to creating? Intersting thought. Well, I have seen these lounge pants made all over the web (check out the cute ones at Linaloo here) and I had the Amy Butler "In Stitches" book with the pattern so I thought I would try them out with the thrifted sheet I found at a garage sale for .50 cents. I only ended up using half, so basically these lounge pants were .25 cents (.27 if you add a bit for thread!). You can't beat that or their comfort. Yeah, I am on the hunt for more fabric to make a few more pairs of them whether that be a thrifted sheet or whatever. Anything that is comfortable will do! Love em. |

Puerto Rican migrants have resided in the United States since before the Spanish-Cuban-American War of 1898, when the United States took possession of the island of Puerto Rico as part of the Treaty of Paris. After the war, groups of Puerto Ricans began migrating to the United States as contract laborers, first to sugarcane plantations in Hawaii, and then to other destinations on the mainland. After the Jones Act of 1917 extended U.S. citizenship to islanders, Puerto Ricans migrated to the United States in larger numbers, establishing their largest base in New York City. Over the course of the 1920s and 1930s, a vibrant and heterogeneous colonia developed there, and Puerto Ricans participated actively both in local politics and in the increasingly contentious politics of their homeland, whose status was indeterminate until it became a commonwealth in 1952. The Puerto Rican community in New York changed dramatically after World War II, accommodating up to fifty thousand new migrants per year during the peak of the “great migration” from the island. Newcomers faced intense discrimination and marginalization in this era, defined by both a Cold War ethos and liberal social scientists’ interest in the “Puerto Rican problem.”
Puerto Rican migrant communities in the 1950s and 1960s—now rapidly expanding into the Midwest, especially Chicago, and into New Jersey, Connecticut, and Philadelphia—struggled with inadequate housing and discrimination in the job market. In local schools, Puerto Rican children often faced a lack of accommodation of their need for English language instruction. Most catastrophic for Puerto Rican communities, on the East Coast particularly, was the deindustrialization of the labor market over the course of the 1960s. By the late 1960s, in response to these conditions and spurred by the civil rights, Black Power, and other social movements, young Puerto Ricans began organizing and protesting in large numbers. Their activism combined a radical approach to community organizing with Puerto Rican nationalism and international anti-imperialism. The youth were not the only activists in this era. Parents in New York had initiated, together with their African American neighbors, a “community control” movement that spanned the late 1960s and early 1970s; and many other adult activists pushed the politics of the urban social service sector—the primary institutions in many impoverished Puerto Rican communities—further to the left.
By the mid-1970s, urban fiscal crises and the rising conservative backlash in national politics dealt another blow to many Puerto Rican communities in the United States. The Puerto Rican population as a whole was now widely considered part of a national “underclass,” and much of the political energy of Puerto Rican leaders focused on addressing the paucity of both basic material stability and social equality in their communities. Since the 1980s, however, Puerto Ricans have achieved some economic gains, and a growing college-educated middle class has managed to gain more control over the cultural representations of their communities. More recently, the political salience of Puerto Ricans as a group has begun to shift. For the better part of the 20th century, Puerto Ricans in the United States were considered numerically insignificant or politically impotent (or both); but in the last two presidential elections (2008 and 2012), their growing populations in the South, especially in Florida, have drawn attention to their demographic significance and their political sensibilities.

The 111th Congress is now in session, and the first order of business is a massive economic stimulus package. President-elect Barack Obama has been vocal about his intention to devote part of the money to broadband infrastructure as one way to boost the economy. According to a 2007 study by the Brookings Institution, a 20 percent increase in broadband adoption -- putting the U.S. on par with a country like Denmark -- would create 3 million new jobs.
As the Obama transition team shifted into high-gear last month, S. Derek Turner, research director of Free Press, put forward a proposal to make world-class, high-speed broadband available to all areas of the country, bring new competition to the broadband market -- which will help keep prices down -- and boost America's slumping standing as a global leader in technology.
Derek Turner -- There is a sort of intersection and a unison between what is good telecom policy and what is good stimulus policy, and I think we found that. And the way we achieve this is basically, since things are moving so fast, we tried to use off the shelf ideas, policy options that have already been debated or programs that are already in place and essentially tweak those a little bit, boost the funding, and get them out the door as fast as possible. And so we think this is something that is realistic and can be done as soon as possible and start getting new jobs created this year -- and for the years to come.
Turner wants a high-capacity broadband infrastructure across America, including rural and low-income areas. The $44 billion proposal is a mixture of federal grants, bonds, tax incentives and credits. Funding would only be awarded for new projects and faster speeds that wouldn't happen otherwise. Accountability, Turner says, is the cornerstone of the package.
Derek Turner -- We can't simply be writing blank checks to companies and get nothing in return. Money's not going to be used to give companies funds to do things they were already going to do. We only propose supporting new investment beyond what would have already have taken place. And there are checks and balances in our proposal to make that happen. That's something we absolutely have to be aware of. Unless the accountability and oversight is there, there's no point to doing it at all. We shouldn't use the money for broadband if there's no accountability or oversight -- we should use it for something else. Our proposals are designed to lead the deployment of next generation, truly robust, fast broadband networks -- broadband networks that we're not seeing deployed in the U.S., but are commonplace in places like Japan and South Korea.
Since job creation will only come with people actually using broadband services, Turner also includes proposals to stimulate demand, like subsidies for installation, discounts on monthly subscriptions, tax deductions for home computers for children, and a program to purchase laptops and build Wi-Fi networks at schools and libraries. Rural development, health care and public service programs are also covered, along with improved broadband data collection and public access to that data.
Turner's is not the only plan that's been given to the Obama transition team. Some have merit and others are much more industry-friendly.
Derek Turner -- Some of the other plans that are out there are well-detailed and good. Fiber-to-the-Home Council -- their plan is one for bonds for building fiber-to-the-home. We think that's a good plan. There are some plans that I would be a little cautious about. There's one by an industry-funded think tank that on the surface seems to be reasonable -- it's got some good speed goals and it's a tax credit program. But when you drill down, you actually see that this plan would not actually lead to any new broadband investment and could essentially just be a big gift to the incumbent phone and cable companies. So we need to only work with plans and only adopt plans that are open, transparent, and that have real measurable end goals and there's real accountability and oversight to make sure that those end goals are reached.

If you’ve decided to take the plunge and invest in your very first Windows computer, you might feel a little out of your depth. Of course you can just turn it on and start browsing the internet, but we think you’ll more than likely want to make your computer your own. So where should you start?
The very first step is to turn on the computer. To do this, simply find and press the power button. Unfortunately this in a different place on every PC, but it’s easily navigable by the universal power button symbol.
Once you’ve pressed it and your computer has been brought to life, it may take a little longer than usual to boot up. Don’t be alarmed if you see a few different displays on the screen – this is normal. This process can take anywhere between 15 seconds and five minutes.
Once the computer has booted up, it’s time to start personalizing it. Create your own profile by heading to the Control Panel and clicking on User Accounts. You can add in a password, change the name and picture, and a whole host of other settings. Sometimes your computer will prompt you to do this as soon as it boots up however.
To really make your computer your own, upload your favorite dog photo, family portrait or picture of your beloved car and set it as your wallpaper. Simply right click on the mouse or trackpad and tap personalize. You can also alter colors, the lock screen, themes, and Start menu.
Your new computer hopefully won’t let you down for many years, but it’s always advised to ensure you have all your important documents backed up elsewhere. External hard drives are the obvious choice as they simply mirror what’s in your documents and provide a back-up should disaster strike.
Once you’ve got all the basics in place, it’s time to enjoy your new purchase! |
