How a Dietician, a Speech-Language Pathologist, and an Occupational Therapist can Determine if your Child Needs Feeding Therapy
There are many aspects of feeding to take into consideration when completing an initial feeding team evaluation. It is essential to have a team of therapists evaluating your child. First and foremost, a Dietician is an integral part of the team. They will calculate your child’s body mass index (BMI) to see if they fall on or off the growth chart. Next, the Dietician will look at the foods your child consumes each day and recommend foods that may add or eliminate calories. They will be able to provide a nutritionally dense program to meet your child’s individual needs. Next, the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) will take a look at the structures of your child’s mouth.
The SLP will see if your child’s teeth are aligned enough to chew foods, to prepare for a safe swallowing experience thoroughly. Next, the SLP will look at the shape of the hard palate/roof of the mouth, symmetry of the tongue, cheeks. In addition, to and lips, as well as the size of the tonsils, if still intact. All of these structures play an essential role in swallowing foods. Next, the SLP will look at the strength of the cheeks, lips, tongue, jaw and determine if the child displays proper strength to chew and swallow foods. As well as observe if your child uses all of the oral musculatures when swallowing. If your child does not, this may indicate signs of chewing and swallowing difficulties.
Following these examinations, the Occupational Therapist (OT) will look at how the child reacts to various textures of foods. For example, some children are aversive to “slimy,” like pudding, or mixed textures like sandwiches. Each child is different, and the aversions each child exhibits will vary. The final component of a feeding team is the Behavior Therapist. So many children start to develop negative, controlling behaviors which stem from aversions. Additional, the inability to chew and swallow foods correctly, or from histories of acid reflux and constipation. When a child refuses food, it does not always mean they do not want that food. It may mean they cannot eat that particular food for the above reasons.
As parents, we see refusal, and this is where the Behavior Therapist comes into play. They will recommend strategies to turn this refusal around. It is essential to be evaluated by a team of people rather than one individual therapist due to the in-depth nature of feeding itself.

Harrisonburg Water Damage Restoration Saves Water-Impacted Homes
Water damage in your home is not easy to deal with. Call SERVPRO 24/7 for professional services.
Expert Water Damage Restoration in Harrisonburg
Harrisonburg is a growing university city where stately old homes mingle with all of the new structures going up every day. That said, both historic and recently built residences are at risk of water leaks and the damage they can cause. Oftentimes, these troublesome issues start in bathrooms and kitchens, where there are extensive plumbing networks, toilets, bathtubs, sinks, and household appliances.
Over the years, SERVPRO has performed top-notch water damage restoration work for countless Harrisonburg homeowners. Interestingly, more times than not, our emergency water damage services technicians have been called out to remediate problems arising from water leaks in bathrooms and kitchens. SERVPRO has found that these situations often develop over a long period of time and produce significant damage without residents even realizing it. Sometimes, however, these water events occur suddenly and their impacts are catastrophic. A few examples of the property impairments we typically encounter are:
- Deteriorated caulking around bathtubs, shower stall tilework, and flooring tiles that eventually leads to water-saturated subflooring and ceiling leaks on lower floors
- Condensation-impacted paint, wallpaper, walls, and ceilings that have fungal growths or been significantly weakened by moisture/dry rot
- Old or damaged wax seals around toilet bases that enable wastewater to seep out, saturate flooring and harm it
- Leaky or burst pipes in cabinets under sinks that cause puddling, foster mold development, and otherwise damage building materials and structural elements
In order to address these common water damage remediation problems, we offer a host of water removal services and water damage repairs. Once our IICRC-certified experts have completed their work, homes have often been returned to their pre-event state.
Considering this, it is obvious that SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties has the experience necessary to effectively handle all of your water damage restoration needs. So, contact us at (540) 433-6100 whenever you need our assistance.
Get the Best Water Damage Cleanup in Harrisonburg with SERVPRO
Our techs are ready 24/7, 365 days a year.
Count on SERVPRO for Expert Water Damage Restoration in Harrisonburg
Water damage in Harrisonburg is a common maintenance issue homeowners face. A water issue can wreak havoc on your property if not addressed promptly, whether due to burst pipes, ceiling leaks, or faulty plumbing.
Hiring professionals like SERVPRO to restore water damage to your Harrisonburg home can prevent long-term aesthetic and structural damage. We use industry-leading technology and state-of-the-art equipment to restore your home "Like it never even happened."
Air Moving Equipment Used in Water Damage Remediation
The effects of water damage can be immediate or occur gradually over time, depending on the water's source and the extent of the damage. Removing the residual moisture as quickly as possible is the best way to protect your property against such problems.
SERVPRO techs use a combination of dehumidifiers and air movers to create ideal drying conditions. Dehumidifiers reduce the humidity of the air, while the air movers help to speed up the drying process in the following ways:
- Generate high-speed airflow across wet surfaces, removing the boundary layer to accelerate evaporation.
- Help to circulate warm and dry air from dehumidifiers
- Help dry structural cavities and other hard-to-reach areas
How Restorers Increase the Efficiency of Air Movers?
Techs increase the efficiency of air movers by strategically placing them in the affected area and adjusting the airflow direction. Generally, techs run air movers for at least 24-48 hours after the initial water damage occurs. However, the exact amount of time needed to dry out the area depends on factors such as the type of water damage, the size of the affected area, the humidity levels, and the temperature of the space.
Call SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties at (540) 433-6100. We are available 24/7 to help when you need us the most.
SERVPRO Remediates and Repairs Harrisonburg Mold Damage
SERVPRO's professionally trained and equipped team offer top-notch mold damage remediation for our Harrisonburg area customers.
Better Understanding Mold Damage
It can be alarming when you suspect mold is growing in your home. In many situations, the presence of mold can be destructive and overwhelming for those living with its effects. No matter how these conditions came about
What Many Believe About Mold
Harrisonburg mold damage events can be a concerning development, especially when you do not fully understand microbial growth and its impact on your residence. It is important to discredit bad information commonly found through search engine queries regarding how to proceed with mold remediation:
- Is Total Mold Removal Even Possible? - Many companies claim to remove mold completely, but this is not possible. Spores occur naturally in most environments. Remediation like SERVPRO completes targets threatening organisms growing on surfaces.
- When Does Mold Dissipate on its Own? - Mold does not go away naturally in most cases. Instead, direct action is needed to clean surfaces and prevent recurring moisture.
- Should You Consider DIY Cleaning? - Remediation is intricate and challenging for its many moving parts, so DIY cleaning is not efficient or productive.
Fast Response for Active Mold Damage
One advantage of SERVPRO for remediation and mold removal is our fast response in an emergency. We arrive with IICRC-certified AMRT-applied microbial remediation technicians. The suspicion of mold should be enough to contact experienced professionals like ours to inspect the property and determine the next steps if necessary. From the time we arrive, we have several objectives to help minimize the invasiveness of remediation and protect your property, including:
- Containing the Organism – Containment of mold spores is a physical construct and equipment that stops migrating organisms from finding new hosting materials.
- Cleaning Personal Belongings – Contents can also be impacted by moisture and mold, making surface cleaning a critical step in protecting personal belongings from harm.
- Evaluating Structural Elements – Inspecting structural elements hosting mold can be important to determine where demolition or repairs could be needed.
- Removing Water and Moisture – Moisture is the catalyst of mold development, so relative humidity and surface moisture must be addressed to prevent further colonization.
Residential Remediation Solutions
Choosing the right strategies for removing active colonies in your home is not universal and the same every time. Even when mold damage is discovered early, SERVPRO remediators must choose the preferred antimicrobial product for surface cleaning. Our professionals carefully evaluate the situation for the most efficient approaches.
Deodorization Solutions for Musty Smells
Another one of the many threats that linger after mold exposure in homes and businesses is the musty smell. Volatile organic compounds create an offensive odor that can help identify active colonies early but continue to impact a household. Cleaning can reduce the severity of these malodors, but air scrubbers, foggers, and hydroxyl machines have the most direct effect.
Are SERVPRO Technicians Ready for Large Loss Restoration?
With the number of businesses in Harrisonburg and the counties we serve, professionals of our team must stay ready for larger restoration and remediation projects. Commercial properties like warehouses, restaurants, and office buildings can have a sizable area damaged by the presence of mold. Our training and trailered equipment allow us to manage structural concerns, developed colonies, and the steps to get your business back open.
The Needed Repairs After Mold Damage
Mold often does not threaten homes and businesses in the counties we serve without some structural damage. Because building materials are often the hosting element for the colonies, it is natural to expect degradation and deterioration of these sources. Our general contractor license can help by allowing our experienced team to perform actions like controlled demolition, material replacement, and full reconstruction where necessary.
Harrisonburg mold damage impacts properties in multiple ways. SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties remediation professionals are uniquely trained to recover structural damage, remove active colonies, and protect the house against future mold development. Give our responders a call today at (540) 433-6100.
Mitigating and Restoring Harrisonburg Water Damage
SERVPRO's advanced equipment mitigates the water damage in Harrisonburg homes "Like it never even happened."
SERVPRO Responds Fast to Water Damage Concerns
Urgent action is necessary for many situations involving water and leaks in your home. Mitigation is vital to protecting the property and its contents from the irreparable harm resulting from unresolved water emergencies. Initial actions to recover residences after disasters can include:
- Water Removal
- Content Cleaning
- Controlled Demolition
- Mold Prevention
No mitigation for Harrisonburg water damage is efficient without getting the process started as soon as possible. Because each of these elements is unique to the overall restoration of a house, SERVPRO professionals can respond at the first notice of loss with our Green Fleet of service vehicles, production trucks, and trailered equipment.
Focusing on Rapid Containment
Containment is one of the first actions that our professionals will take after situations like burst pipes or water leaks. Protecting areas of the house not yet damaged by migrating moisture and standing water concerns is essential. While physical barriers can be partially responsible for stopping water movement in the home, mitigating steps like water removal services instantly benefit the property and at-risk building materials.
Needed Extraction Solutions
Water removal services provide the most trackable and recognizable impact to improve conditions in a structure after water emergencies. Eliminating surface water is the utmost priority for our team, as prolonged exposures can compromise structural integrity, cosmetic quality, or allow secondary effects like mold. Tools used include:
- Submersibles - These machines are meant to be dropped into standing water and use high-pressure vacuum systems to pull water through the unit and discharge it to a designated point.
- Vacuums - These portable extractors eliminate surface water when it is only a couple of inches in depth or less. The versatility of vacuums makes them a preferred water removal tool.
- Special Tools - When vacuums and pumps are no longer effective, specialty tools like weighted extractors and light wands help when water becomes trapped.
Effective Drying for the Structure
Much like extraction, drying requires several tools and approaches to be successful. Our SERVPRO IICRC-certified professionals rapidly evaluate environmental conditions and the state of impacted building materials to provide the best solutions for issues like:
- Wet Surfaces - Surface water is among the easiest to target and resolve. Air movers and portable heaters are essential tools for the effective evaporation of wet surfaces. We can daisy chain multiple air movers together to lessen the need for available outlets.
- Trapped Water - Water can migrate through the property quickly, infiltrating areas like structural cavities and becoming trapped. Weep holes allow for drainage and airflow, but it will be positive and negative pressure systems to have a direct impact on this threat.
- Saturation Damage - Prolonged moisture exposure to porous materials leads to absorption concerns. Drying mats and other evaporative equipment can help pull moisture to the surface for extraction. This is especially effective with wood flooring water damage, allowing us to protect planks from becoming distorted or warping when water chemically alters the molecular composition.
Is SERVPRO Ready for Repairs and Build-Back?
Our general contractor license is among the main advantages of looking to SERVPRO for post-water damage repairs and restoration. Because these emergencies typically require rebuilding or reconstructing impacted areas, this experienced division of our roster seamlessly transitions to post-restoration construction.
Harrisonburg water damage incidents require swift action from experienced restoration professionals. As leading restorers for the large service region we represent, we are a trusted name to help in an emergency to make it "Like it never even happened." Give our SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties team a call at (540) 433-6100.
Working Through Harrisonburg Fire Damage In Several Phases
Have a fire damaged home in Harrisonburg? Call SERVPRO to make it appear "Like it never even happened."
Needed Restoration After Fire Damages
Across the nation, it is estimated that more than 350,000 house fires occur every year. Varying degrees of damage might not always warrant the full designation of a structure fire, but the frequency of these emergencies requires our SERVPRO team to stay prepared.
To recover after Harrison residential fire and smoke damage in a residence, our responding technicians must offer:
- Emergency Services – The first step our team can take in disaster relief is protecting the structure and its contents through pre-inspection board-up, air filtration, and debris removal.
- Mitigative Strategies – Mitigation follows emergency services and coincides with a detailed record of the damage to the property and the necessary steps to restore the residence. From water removal to content management, mitigation is a critical process.
- Cleaning Needs – Surface cleaning and soot removal are one of the universal needs after a fire. We have powerful cleaners and solvents to help achieve this.
- Repairing the Structure – Structure fires are known for their destructive impact on the building. Combustion creates situations where extensive build-back services are necessary to return a property to preloss condition.
Harrisonburg fire damage events require a team of restoration professionals capable of making fast changes and navigating hundreds of restoration questions and obstacles. From the first notice of loss, our SERVPRO professionals are beginning to provide necessary restoration and mitigation solutions.
Can Emergency Services Help Fire Damaged Homes?
Emergency services are a combination of the earliest efforts to prevent situations like structural collapse or hazardous conditions for occupants or responding technicians. The urgency of these actions often has them preceding pre-job scoping.
How Does Fire Damage Mitigation Occur?
Mitigation is one of the more critical restoration phases, as it seeks to resolve pressing concerns that threaten the structure and its occupants. This can include the careful management of damaged contents and personal belongings. Mitigative actions can also describe needed efforts for removing water after extinguishment.
Focused Cleaning After Fire Damage
Cleaning is a way to return a property to its original condition. There are dozens of proven approaches, much of which are created to overcome formidable effects like soot and smoke damage.
- Removing Smoke Soils and Soot – Residues can be a difficult obstacle to overcome, especially in wet environments. We have multiple products to help emulsify or dissolve soil deposits.
- Deep Carpet Cleaning – Hot water extraction cleaning breaks sediment loose at the base of carpeted flooring and removes it with the high-powered onboard vacuum.
- Deodorization – We must also work to eliminate overwhelming and offensive odors that have developed in the living space. These smells do not naturally dissipate, so direct action with deodorants and neutralizing tools is necessary.
Post-Fire Build-Back Services
Structures fires can be disruptive and destructive. Damage to construction materials and the house assemblies is expected, so we arrive with experienced professionals that can help. We have a general contractor license to perform needed build-back services after home fire damage. From the initially controlled demolition to the reinstallation of missing structural elements to return a property to its original condition, we can seamlessly transition to repairs and reconstruction after restoration.

Prevent Additional Damage

Impactful Water Restoration in a Harrisonburg Home
Light rain storms are mostly relaxing, especially during the weekends, as you cozy up next to the fireplace with delicious treats and a good book. But heavy rains and storms can ruin all that excitement. Nothing is more discouraging than a leaking roof or window that damps your floors.
One structural area that can trigger costly water damage in a Harrisonburg home after an intense storm is the roof. One crack on the roof can allow moisture to penetrate the home’s attic and top floors leading to further internal damage to your ceilings and walls. The moisture may cause the wood on the roof or attic floor to rot, destabilizing the structure. Wet wood with sheetrock attached acts as a moisture reservoir. When the sheetrock is not dried quickly, it may crack and fall apart, leaving a hole in your ceiling. SERVPRO responds quickly to water damage incidents helping you avoid costly repairs through mitigation.
Simple actions to minimize the damaging effects of moisture:
- Cleaning gutters regularly
- Repairing loose shingles
- Sealing basements
Heavy rains can flood the basement. The moisture can seep through unsealed windows before finding a way to the basement. The ground surrounding your home should slope downward away from the foundation. If not, the rainwater can puddle around your home, causing moisture to seep into the ground and crack the foundation. Water can leak through the cracks in your basement, damaging any stored items significantly.
Hidden dangers of moisture in the basement:
- Electrical threats
- Structural damage
Suppose water enters your home during heavy rains. In that case, whether in the basement or crawl space, SERVPRO of Rockingham and Augusta Counties provides efficient water damage cleanup and improves ventilation throughout the home to minimize mold growth. Call us at (540) 433-6100. We’re Faster To Any Size Disaster.

Well done to our Hodgson Brothers Relay Team who took part in this prestigious relay in the Lakes on Sunday 2nd October. The race started in Patterdale and the format as usual was 4 stages for pairs with differing distances & routes for each leg.
We finished 43rd out of 70 competing teams and 8th out of 14 mixed teams (mixed = 4 men & 4 ladies). This was an excellent result as we only had short notice to raise a team having been on the waiting list until a week before the event. Hopefully we will be included as of right next year – maybe we’ll be allowed 2 teams even – so get in training !
Our leg times and positions after each leg are as follows
Leg 1: 31st : Carol & Roger (leg time 48:00)
leg 2 : 42nd : Rachel & Mark (1:27:50)
Leg 3 : 51st : Sharon & Hester (1:21:28)
leg 4 : 43rd Fraser & Alex (1:26:49)

From Across the Atlantic : OSLO REBUILDS ISLAND FERRY LANDING, ADDS BREAKWATER
June 30, 2022
Just over two miles south of Oslo, Norway, Langøyene island hosts a wide range of summertime recreational activities and is a popular destination for residents and tourists. The Municipality of Oslo Agency for Urban Environment recently improved the area with a new floating concrete ferry pier and wave-attenuating breakwater from market leader SF Marina.
Installed by Oslo-based Veidekke Entreprenør AS, the ferry pier is a substantial structure. The 19.6′ L x 23′ W floating portion is comprised of three SF Marina concrete pontoon sections with 10-ton bollards that connect to the 24′ L x 14.7′ W ferry landing area via dual boarding ramps. These pedestrian passages are covered in MøreRoyal® pressure-treated timbers. A small wave dampener shelters the area.
The SF Marina SFBW 400 floating concrete breakwater protects a large sandy beach on the southwestern side of Langøyene. Its unique underwater shape and sheer mass provide exceptional wave dampening attributes without any sacrifice to stability. The pontoon closest to the shore was built with a beveled contour to accommodate the shallow depth. The 328′ L x 13′ W L-shaped structure also functions as a bathing dock, complete with a diving tower and 10 swim ladders; 1.6′ of freeboard makes re-entry onto the platform easy. It’s connected to the island by an aluminum walkway covered in MøreRoyal.
Ferry service to Langøyene runs from Oslo all summer. Originally two islands, they were connected with fill to create a large grassy area for sports and other activities. The location is the only island within the Oslo area to allow overnight tent camping. More information is at www.bit.ly/Langoyene.
For over 100 years, Gothenburg, Sweden-based SF Marina has engineered and manufactured floating breakwaters and concrete dock pontoons, and related marine structures built to overcome extreme weather and seas. It has an expansive network of offices across the globe ready to undertake a wide range of marine construction projects.

that you’re matched up with the service makes it actually simple to just switch therapists when I felt like I wasn’t really getting in touch with my first couple therapists I simply picked I believe it’s simply a choice in the app where you can look for a different therapist you can read their BIOS and determine more about them and select which one you would like to work with so I believe part of why I wasn’t truly that pleased to begin with with those very first therapists was that they were initially offering me kind of canned responses which didn’t truly sit well
Confronted with joining a desperately long NHS waiting list, Joe Rackham selected online counselling instead. “I simply felt that I couldn’t wait any longer– I was inspired and prepared to handle my issues and quite liked the concept of doing so in the convenience of my own home,” stated the 29-year-old, who lives in London. After an online search, he found a therapist whose profile fit his requirements and booked a chat session for the next day.
The doctor app Babylon provides therapy to 150,000 active users, while PlusGuidance, an online counselling service, has 10,000 users. Talkspace, another online treatment platform, reports it has actually 500,000 registered users worldwide, with a lot of in the United States.
Online training encourages therapists on whatever from using emojis to preventing misconceptions. They also need to protect clients’ individual data– an issue that has triggered controversy in the US, where big online therapy platforms have come under the spotlight.
Buckley said clients need to inspect services’ privacy policies prior to signing up. “Not all online counselling websites utilize expertly trained therapists or adhere to an ethics policy, so ask your GP for a suggestion in the first instance. Similar to all type of services and support, what works for a single person may not work for another person,” he said.
Marc Bush, chief policy advisor at Young Minds, said that while online counselling services are valuable, “they should not replace in person therapy with a skilled expert. If a young adult is struggling, we would motivate them to speak to their GP in the very first instance, or to call a recognized service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.”.
For Rackham, who has generalised stress and anxiety condition, online counselling wasn’t the right fit. “I felt it was near difficult for the therapist to really get a sense of the issues I was handling, as all they had to go from was my typed-out words. I believe I realised after that online session how important interpersonal interaction was.
” I’m a huge fan of using innovation in all areas of my life as a solution to everyday problems. I have apps for whatever, however when it comes to mental health, you have to select how innovation plays a role in your recovery extremely thoroughly.”.

During this summer, our partners from Technische Universität Wien have recorded their team at the facilities of their Research Unit of Photonic Technologies to continue with our Custodian partners behind the scenes campaign.
Check out the video and get to know the Experts from the Simulation Department: Constantin Zenz, Michele Buttazzoni, Katherine Crespo Armijos and Prof. Andreas Otto.
TU Wien’s role in the Custodian project is to develop the simulation models for Laser Beam Welding and Powder Bed Fusion with a Laser Beam on Metal. Their objective is to generate optimal beam shapes to fit the thermal history required for optimal microstructural evolution. Thanks to numerical simulations, the TU Wien team calculated the right spatial energy profile in order to produce the optimal beam shape implemented by our partners from Cailabs.
Based on that, Cailabs is able to design and manufacture the laser beam shaping modules, aiming to increase quality and productivity in Laser Beam Welding and Laser Cutting of stainless steels and to solve hot cracking issues in Selective Laser Melting of nickel-based superalloys. These beam shapers are currently in a high-power test phase, with the aim to determine the influence of dimensional parameters of the beam shape on the processes. Those modules have been delivered to our partners at AIMEN, AIDIMME and Precitec for first applied process tests.

Danielle and Lyle’s Langham Hotel wedding was absolutely beautiful. The Langham Hotel is a gem among wedding venues in Boston. It is located across from Post Office Square Park where we later gathered on this beautiful June day for most of the wedding photos. Every detail of their day was planned perfectly, and the navy, purple and orange color scheme was an excellent choice for their summer wedding. I loved that Danielle added extra purple flowers to her matron of honor’s bouquet who’s favorite color was purple. How thoughtful! The getting ready time with the ladies was so much fun! The room was filled with joy and laughter as the final makeup touches were done.
Danielle and Lyle are such a beautiful couple, and it was an honor to be a part of their wedding day. Danielle’s smile was contagious, and Lyle always seemed to make her eyes sparkle throughout the entire day. Here are a few highlights from their classic Boston wedding.
Langham Hotel Wedding Photos
We had extra time built into their wedding day timeline to head out for pictures of Danielle and her bridesmaids enjoying one another, and I photographed a few pictures of them in their gorgeous Japanese kimonos and fans in front of the infamous Pink Taxi at the Langham Hotel.
I love this moment between Danielle and her mom.
What a gorgeous bride! I wanted to make sure that she was relaxed, and took in every moment of her wedding day. She was so elegant and graceful for her bridal portraits, and I love these classic photos of her.
Danielle’s smile lights up the room, and I love getting moments like these throughout the day and especially during the ceremony. I hope that this picture will help them relive the moments of this joyful day over and over again.
The Pink Taxi is definitely something to love and memorable as well on your wedding day.
Their’s that beautiful smile again!

It was a day for various government marine services vessels to move in and out of Halifax Harbour, and for merchant vessels to remain largely invisible.
The most notable move was that of the newly commissioned HMCS Harry DeWolf as it prepared to embark on its first mission as an Arctic Offshore Patrol Vessel. It is the first, and "name ship" of a new class of ships to be built for the Royal Canadian Navy. The ship first made a short move from HMC Dockyard to Irving Oil to top up its fuel bunkers.
It later put out to sea on what will be an epic voyage combining arctic exercises, a transit of the Northwest Passage from Atlantic to Pacific, followed by a long west coast voyage to the Panama Canal. The ship will then participate in drug interdiction operations in the Caribbean with the United States Coast Guard before returning to Halifax completing a circumnavigation of North America.
The voyage will mark many firsts in addition to a return to arctic operations by the RCN. The navy has not had an icebreaker in its fleet since HMCS Labrador was transferred to Department of Transport in 1957. Tellingly Harry DeWolf's trip will retrace that of HMCS Labrador in 1954 when it became the first warship to make a Northwest Passage and then completed a circumnavigation of North America. Some considered the 1957 transfer of the Labrador to civilian service a slap in the face to the Navy, and a purely political move. Whatever it was, the RCN transferred its focus to anti-submarine warfare. The (previous) Canadian government's determination to assert its sovereignty in the Arctic lead in part to the current national shipbuilding program which will see more Arctic Offshore Patrol Vessels, frigates, Naval supply ships and icebreakers.
Alluding to the Canadian Coast Guard, there have been "visiting" CCG patrol boats in Halifax recently. As Halifax based boats are in refit, boats from other bases have appeared in Halifax. Today CCGC Caporal Kaeble V.C. was noted at the Tall Ships Quay.

This is an affordable way to get to the legendary city of Pompeii! Safe, economical, and reliable. Great for the whole group.
A deafening boom roars through Pompeii's crowded marketplace. The ground shakes violently, throwing midday shoppers off balance and toppling stands of fish and meat. People scream and point toward Mount Vesuvius, a massive volcano that rises above them. In 79 AD, torrid volcanic ash and pumice raced down the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and engulfed Pompeii wiping out the entire population.
Choose any one of the multiple departures from the cruise terminal for the short 45-minute drive to Pompeii in the comfort of a City Sightseeing Shuttle Bus. While on board you will enjoy a colorful commentary outlining the history and tragedy in five different languages. Once you have arrived there is a 15 euro entrance fee to enter the ruins (fee not included, only euros are accepted). Or add on the entrance fee when you order and save time when you arrive on-site.
Today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can discover and explore the Amphitheater, Temples of Apollo and Jupiter, the House of Faun, and many other uncovered treasures. When you have completed your exploration time, there are 2 shuttle return trips back to Naples where you can board your ship or continue to explore the city at your leisure and expense. (Local operator will give you information on where to meet and the times.)
Enjoy the comfort, colorful commentary, and ease of this excursion as you travel back in time to experience the tragedy of Mount Vesuvius. Don't forget comfortable shoes and your favorite camera to capture some of the world's most famous ruins.
Please note: A separate voucher will be emailed to you. You must print the voucher and give it to the local operator in order to do the excursion; do not give them your Shore Excursioneer ticket. Please note the add-on ticket is non-refundable.
This is a very affordable way to get to one of the most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Pompeii!

Omegle and social anxiety: Overcoming fears of communication
Social anxiety is a common mental health issue that affects many people worldwide. It is characterized by a fear of social interactions and can make communicating with others challenging. With the rise of technology, online platforms like Omegle have provided new opportunities for social connection. However, utilizing platforms like Omegle can be daunting for individuals with social anxiety. In this article, we will explore ways to overcome the fears of communication on Omegle and reduce social anxiety.
1. Understanding Social Anxiety:
Before addressing the specific challenges of using Omegle with social anxiety, it is important to grasp the nature of social anxiety itself. Social anxiety disorder is a psychological condition marked by excessive fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations. It can lead to avoidance behavior and feelings of loneliness.
2. Start with Small Steps:
Overcoming social anxiety takes time and effort. Begin by taking small steps towards building confidence in communication. Practice casual conversations with friends or family members to gradually become comfortable expressing yourself. As you gain confidence, consider shifting to online conversations.
3. Utilize Omegle’s Features:
Omegle offers various features that can help alleviate social anxiety. These include the option to remain anonymous and the ability to end a conversation instantly. Take advantage of these features to alleviate worries about judgment or prolonged uncomfortable interactions.
4. Use Topics and Interests to Your Advantage:
Omegle provides an option to select topics or share common interests. Utilize this feature to find people who share your hobbies, passions, or subjects of interest. Engaging in conversations about topics you are knowledgeable or passionate about can boost your confidence and make communication easier.
5. Set Realistic Goals:
Setting realistic goals can help manage expectations and reduce anxiety. Rather than aiming for perfect conversations, focus on simply engaging in meaningful exchanges. Remember that not every interaction will be perfect, and that’s okay. Celebrate every small achievement in overcoming your fears.
6. Seek Support:
Consider joining online support groups or forums dedicated to individuals with social anxiety. Sharing experiences and tips with others who are going through similar struggles can be empowering and uplifting. Supportive communities can provide valuable insights and encouragement.
7. Practice Mindfulness Techniques:
Mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and meditation, can help calm anxious thoughts and increase self-awareness. Prior to engaging in Omegle conversations, take a few minutes to practice mindfulness to center yourself and reduce anxiety levels.
8. Consider Professional Help:
If social anxiety significantly impacts your daily life and prevents you from engaging in meaningful relationships, it might be helpful to seek professional help. Consult a mental health professional who can offer guidance, support, and specialized treatment options for social anxiety disorder.
Overcoming social anxiety and fear of communication on platforms like Omegle is possible with the right strategies and mindset. Starting small, utilizing Omegle’s features, setting realistic goals, seeking support, practicing mindfulness, and considering professional help are effective ways to reduce social anxiety. With time, patience, and self-compassion, individuals with social anxiety can successfully engage in meaningful online conversations and develop their communication skills.
Understanding Social Anxiety: How It Affects Communication
Social anxiety is a common mental health condition that impacts a person’s ability to interact and communicate effectively in social situations. It can make simple tasks like starting a conversation, making eye contact, or speaking in public incredibly challenging. In this article, we will explore the effects of social anxiety on communication and provide strategies to overcome these difficulties.
What is Social Anxiety?
Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, is an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in social settings. It is more than just feeling shy or nervous; individuals with social anxiety experience extreme distress and may even avoid social situations altogether.
When it comes to communication, social anxiety can have a significant impact. People with social anxiety often have negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves, such as assuming others will judge them or find them boring. These thoughts create a heightened sense of self-consciousness and self-doubt, making it difficult to engage in conversations confidently.
The Effects of Social Anxiety on Communication
Social anxiety can affect communication in several ways. Firstly, individuals with social anxiety may struggle with initiating conversations. They may fear rejection or judgment, leading to avoiding speaking up or approaching others. This can make it challenging to establish new connections and build relationships.
Additionally, social anxiety can impact non-verbal communication. People with social anxiety often have difficulty maintaining eye contact, which can be interpreted as disinterest or lack of confidence. They may also struggle with body language, appearing tense or rigid during conversations.
Furthermore, social anxiety can hinder effective listening skills. When individuals are overly self-conscious, they may become preoccupied with their own thoughts and anxieties, making it challenging to focus on what the other person is saying. This can lead to misunderstandings and hinder meaningful communication.
Strategies to Overcome Social Anxiety in Communication
- Challenge negative thoughts: Recognize and challenge negative thoughts that contribute to social anxiety. Remind yourself that everyone makes mistakes and that you are not defined by others’ opinions.
- Practice active listening: Focus on the speaker’s words and try to understand their perspective. Engage in active listening techniques such as paraphrasing and asking clarifying questions.
- Gradual exposure: Gradually expose yourself to social situations that make you anxious. Start with small, manageable steps and gradually increase the difficulty.
- Seek support: Consider joining a support group or seeking therapy to develop coping mechanisms and receive guidance from professionals.
By implementing these strategies, individuals with social anxiety can improve their communication skills and feel more confident in social interactions. Remember, overcoming social anxiety takes time and patience, but with persistence, positive change is possible.
In conclusion, social anxiety can significantly impact communication, making it challenging to initiate conversations, engage in effective listening, and exhibit confident non-verbal cues. However, through challenging negative thoughts, practicing active listening, engaging in gradual exposure, and seeking support, individuals with social anxiety can overcome these difficulties and improve their communication skills.
An Introduction to Omegle: A Platform for Overcoming Social Anxiety
Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition, preventing individuals from fully engaging in social interactions and forming meaningful connections. However, with the advent of technology, new platforms have emerged to help people overcome their fears and build their confidence. One such platform is Omegle.
Omegle is an online chat website that pairs strangers from around the world for anonymous conversations. It offers users the opportunity to connect with others without the fear of judgment or stigma that often accompanies face-to-face interactions. This unique feature makes it an ideal platform for individuals struggling with social anxiety.
One of the key advantages of Omegle is its anonymity. Users can chat with others without revealing their identity, allowing them to feel more comfortable and confident in expressing themselves. This anonymity creates a safe space for individuals to practice their social skills, engage in conversations, and develop their communication abilities.
Furthermore, Omegle offers various chat options to accommodate different preferences and interests. Users can choose between a text-based chat or a video chat, depending on their comfort level. This flexibility allows individuals to gradually expose themselves to social interactions and build up their confidence at their own pace.
- Advantage 1: Overcoming fear of judgment
- Advantage 2: Anonymity and privacy
- Advantage 3: Flexibility in communication options
- Advantage 4: Opportunities for self-expression and personal growth
In addition to helping individuals overcome social anxiety, Omegle can also serve as a platform for expanding one’s horizons and learning about different cultures. By connecting with strangers from around the world, users have the opportunity to engage in cross-cultural conversations and gain a broader perspective.
However, it is important to note that while Omegle can be a useful tool for overcoming social anxiety, it is not a substitute for professional help or therapy. If social anxiety is significantly impacting your daily life, it is recommended to seek support from a qualified mental health professional.
In conclusion, Omegle is a valuable platform for individuals struggling with social anxiety. Its anonymity, flexibility, and opportunities for personal growth make it an effective tool for building confidence and overcoming social fears. By utilizing this platform in a responsible manner, individuals can develop their social skills and form meaningful connections with others from around the world.

Tips and Strategies for Navigating Omegle with Social Anxiety
Social anxiety can make it difficult to connect with others and engage in conversations, especially in online platforms like Omegle. However, with a few helpful strategies and tips, you can navigate Omegle while managing your social anxiety effectively.
Understanding Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a common mental health condition characterized by an intense fear of social situations. It can make you feel self-conscious, nervous, and uncomfortable, hindering your ability to interact with others. When using Omegle, which pairs you randomly with strangers, these anxieties can become even more pronounced.
1. Start with Shared Interests
One effective strategy is to use shared interests as a conversation starter. Omegle allows you to enter specific tags relating to your interests, such as “movies,” “music,” or “books.” By choosing tags that genuinely interest you, you can increase the chances of meeting like-minded individuals and starting engaging conversations.
2. Embrace Anonymity
Omegle provides the option to remain anonymous, which can alleviate some of the pressures associated with social anxiety. Remember that the individuals you encounter are also strangers, and they have no personal information about you. Embracing the anonymity can help you feel more comfortable and less anxious during conversations.
3. Use Ice Breakers
Ice breakers are great tools for overcoming social anxiety on Omegle. You can start by asking simple questions such as “What’s your favorite movie?” or “Do you have any pet peeves?” These questions can help initiate conversations and gradually build your confidence.
4. Practice Deep Breathing
Deep breathing exercises can be incredibly beneficial in managing social anxiety. Whenever you feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable during an Omegle conversation, take a moment to focus on your breath. Take slow, deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. This technique can help calm your nerves and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Navigating Omegle with social anxiety can be challenging, but with the right strategies and mindset, you can overcome your fears and enjoy meaningful conversations. Remember to take it at your own pace, stay true to yourself, and prioritize self-care. By implementing these tips and strategies, you can make the most out of your Omegle experience while managing social anxiety.
Note: Social anxiety is a serious mental health condition, and if your anxiety significantly impacts your daily life, it’s essential to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor.
Real-life success stories: How Omegle helped users conquer their fears
In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s common for people to experience feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and even social phobias. However, a platform called Omegle has been quietly changing lives and helping users overcome their fears in unexpected ways.
Omegle, a free online chat website, pairs users anonymously in one-on-one chat sessions without any sign-up process. This unique feature allows individuals to freely express their thoughts, fears, and emotions without the fear of judgment or rejection.
One of the ways Omegle has helped users conquer their fears is by providing a safe space for introverts to practice social interactions. In many cases, individuals with social anxiety find it challenging to initiate conversations or express themselves in face-to-face situations. Omegle gives them the opportunity to engage in conversations at their own pace, gradually building confidence and overcoming their social fears.
Moreover, users who struggle with public speaking or presenting their ideas find Omegle to be an invaluable tool. By engaging in conversations with strangers from different backgrounds, they can refine their communication skills and learn to articulate their thoughts more effectively.
Additionally, Omegle users have reported overcoming their fears of rejection and judgment. As the platform connects users randomly, there is a constant flow of new people to interact with. This experience exposes users to various perspectives and helps them realize that rejection and judgment are subjective and seldom personal. Through this process, users develop a resilient mindset and become more open to new experiences.
- One user, let’s call him John, had a debilitating fear of public speaking. He found it impossible to present his ideas in front of a group of people. However, by regularly engaging in conversations on Omegle, he gained the confidence to speak up in public settings. Today, John is a successful public speaker, inspiring and motivating others with his words.
- Jane, another user, struggled with social anxiety and found it difficult to make friends. Through her interactions on Omegle, she learned how to initiate conversations, express herself authentically, and form meaningful connections. This newfound social confidence spilled over into her offline life, and she now has a strong circle of friends supporting her.
- Tom, a college student, used Omegle to conquer his fear of rejection. By engaging in conversations with strangers, he realized that rejection is not a reflection of his worth. This realization boosted his self-esteem and gave him the courage to pursue his dreams fearlessly.
These success stories are just a glimpse of how Omegle has empowered its users to overcome their fears and grow personally. The platform’s anonymity, coupled with the diverse range of individuals to interact with, provides a unique opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth.
So, if you find yourself struggling with fear, loneliness, or social anxiety, why not give Omegle a try? You might just discover a path to conquering your fears and unlocking your true potential.
Combining Therapy and Omegle for Maximum Results
In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, many people struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness. While traditional therapy can be helpful, it’s not always easily accessible or affordable for everyone. Fortunately, technology has provided us with alternative solutions, and one of them is Omegle.
Omegle is an online chat platform that connects users from all around the world. It allows individuals to have anonymous conversations with strangers, opening up the opportunity for meaningful connections and support. However, it’s important to note that Omegle should not replace professional therapy but can be used as a complementary tool in your mental health journey.
The Power of Therapy
Therapy is a proven and effective way to address mental health issues. By talking to a licensed therapist, you gain valuable insight into your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Through therapy, you can learn coping mechanisms, develop healthier relationships, and work towards personal growth.
However, therapy sessions are often limited to a certain time frame and require scheduling in advance. This is where Omegle can come into play, offering immediate support and a space to vent when you need it the most.
Omegle as a Complementary Tool
Omegle provides an anonymous and judgement-free environment to connect with others who may be going through similar struggles. Engaging in conversations with strangers can offer a fresh perspective, provide emotional support, and even introduce you to coping strategies you hadn’t considered before.
It’s important to approach Omegle with caution and use it responsibly. Keep in mind that not everyone on the platform has good intentions, and it’s crucial to prioritize your safety. Avoid sharing personal information, report any inappropriate behavior, and trust your instincts when engaging in conversations.
Best Practices for Combining Therapy and Omegle
- Set boundaries: Establish limits on your Omegle usage to ensure it doesn’t become a substitute for therapy.
- Use it as a support system: Reach out to others on Omegle when you’re feeling overwhelmed or in need of someone to talk to.
- Continue therapy: Remember that Omegle should complement therapy, not replace it. Regularly attend your therapy sessions for professional guidance.
- Practice self-care: Take care of your mental health by incorporating self-care activities into your routine, such as exercise, meditation, or journaling.
Combining therapy with Omegle can be a powerful tool in your mental health journey. While therapy provides professional guidance and support, Omegle offers an additional avenue for connecting with others who understand what you’re going through. By using both resources responsibly and in conjunction with each other, you can maximize the benefits and improve your overall well-being.
Remember, seeking professional help is essential, and by incorporating Omegle into your mental health routine, you can enhance your support system and gain valuable insights from a diverse range of individuals.

Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different root canal disinfection techniques in the elimination of a multi-species biofilm from inside the root canal. Material and Methods: Fifty mandibular first premolars were used in the present study, standardized to 11mm of root length, and instrumented with a reciprocation system Reciproc, (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany) to a #50. Longitudinally sectioned halves of the roots were obtained and washed with NaOCl 4%, EDTA 17% and 5% sodium thiosulfate, and sterilized by autoclaving for 15 minutes at 121°C. A multi-species biofilm broth was developed with three strains of bacteria under laboratory conditions: Enterococcus faecalis ATTC 29212, Eikenella corrodens ATTC 23834, Streptococcus anginosus ATTC 33397. Roots were autoclaved and transferred to the broth for 4 days and then were subjected to either disinfection with sodium hypochlorite 4% and XP-endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) or chlorhexidine 2% with and without activation with XP-endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). Results: The evaluations of the biofilm elimination showed results that indicate that the 4% sodium hypochlorite group with positive pressure irrigation presented significant differences with the group that had irrigation with sodium hypochlorite activated with XP-endo Finisher and the chlorhexidine groups to 2% (P <0.05). Conclusions: Chlorhexidine 2% activated with the XP-endo Finisher does not exert elimination or improved cleaning effect on the multi-species biofilm. Activation of sodium hypochlorite 4% improved the elimination of the multi-species biofilm.

As an active member of the community and content creator for Sims 4, I can assure you that there are few things more controversial than babies– which may explain why many seek baby cc (also known as custom content) to help remedy the problem. CC, content custom created by the community, allows you to make your game– and in this case, babies– more unique.
That’s right: while the baby life stage of a simulation game may not sound like something that would cause controversy, many are still hoping to see what we’d call improved babies– that is, babies that aren’t objects. In fact, petitions for improved babies have circled websites such as Change.org, and floated on Twitter, amongst other avenues to try to catch Sim’s team’s attention.
But whether they finally will have updated babies in Sims 4 by the time you read this– with many simmers continuously hoping for such an update– the good news is that there are still ways to improve babies, with the help of some of the best Sims 4 cc.
In this article, I’ll give a brief overview of babies in the Sims 4, why you might want to consider cc, and how they find the best baby cc so this life state can feel more personal and realistic– and may even help you enhance family gameplay in Sims 4.
How to Get Babies in Sims 4
How do you become pregnant in Sims 4?
Babies in the Sims 4– at least how to have one– is very much in line with how to get a baby in Sims 2 and Sims 3. The main way to get a baby in Sims 4 is to click on another Sim with whom you have a high level of romance with and choose the “Try for Baby” interaction. Note that the “Woohoo” interaction will never result in a baby.
Sims will automatically find the nearest woohoo spot to try for a baby. You can also directly click on places where a woohoo is permitted (for example, beds, woohoo bushes, and even the dumpster if you have the Eco Living expansion pack) and select the “Try for Baby” option.
You’ll know you’re successful by taking a pregnancy test. This can be done by selecting a toilet and clicking the “Take Pregnancy Test” interaction. You will either get a notification, or you’ll have to try again. Note that while an elder male sim can get a female sim pregnant, elder female sims cannot become pregnant. Only adult and young adult sims can carry a baby.
Can two female Sims have a baby Sims 4?
While same-sex relationships were possible back during Sims 2, and same-sex marriage possible back in Sims 3, it was not until Sims 4 that same-sex couples could have children of their own. In fact, nonbinary sims also have this option.
This option came with the Sims 4 gender update, which expanded the customization option for gender expression. With this update, you can enter create a sim and select whether or not that sim can become pregnant, regardless of if they have a feminine or masculine frame. Simply into CAS mode either directly or by using a dresser or mirror and opting for the “Change Sim” interaction.
In CAS, there will be a bar with a few dots directly below the life stage selector. Here, you can customize everything, from a masculine or feminine frame to clothing preference, how they use the toilet, and whether or not they can become pregnant.
How do you adopt in Sims 4?
Of course, an adoption is an option for all sims if you don’t want to go through the process of pregnancy. Adoption is a quick and simple process. Simply find a computer or use your ever-connected smartphone and select “Household” and “Adopt.”
Adoptions cost one thousand simoleons and you’ll have the option to adopt a baby, toddler, or child, so long as you aren’t already up to your household limit of 8 sims and/ or pets (cats and dogs fill in a slot just as sims do, though hamsters and fish do not).
Why should I consider Baby CC for Sims 4?
Maybe you’re not sold on custom content, or maybe you’re new to Sims 4– or perhaps both. But if you are new to Sims 4, and especially if you’ve played previous sims games, you may just find that some baby cc is what you need. Let me explain.
Babies are objects, in that they are forever attached to their bassinet, unlike in Sims 3 and Sims 3. The interactions are limited, and babies in Sims 4 are randomized. Rather than their appearance reflecting genetics truly, they will have one of a few skin tones, and be placed in one of a few base game bassinets.
Not only that, but, while there are interactions besides feeding and changing baby diapers, many feel that there aren’t enough to truly make a Sims 4 baby feel like part of a family.
If you’re not on console (unfortunately, custom content is not yet available for console Sims 4 players), and you have enough storage, Sims 4 baby cc can add more customization, both from an aesthetic perspective, and even more, interactions to upgrade babies more to feeling like actual sims– whether or not the team chooses to update them.
How do I find the best Sims 4 Baby CC?
I’ll admit it: finding the best sims 4 baby cc can be challenging. Not only are there far fewer options (understandably so) for baby custom content, as compared to other life stages, but it can be challenging to find cc that is secure and of the quality you want.
The good news is that there are some great pieces of custom content that can really improve babies in Sims 4. Individual content creator’s Patreon pages (most custom content goes for a free, public release a few weeks after debut), The Sims Resource, Mod the Sims, and occasionally, other outlets, such as Pinterest and Tumblr, can link you to some interesting custom content for babies.
But today I’m going to share with you my top recommendations for the best cc you can download for babies in Sims 4– from appearance changes to accessories for nurseries, and even gameplay script mods.
Without further ado, here are my top picks.
Script/ Gameplay Mods
Script mods change up to or add to your gameplay. These are great options so long as your computer can handle them. You should download script mods just as you would any custom content for Sims 4– place package files (unzipped) in your Mods folder under your Sims 4 folder.
Better Babies & Toddlers Mod by Cathedral
If you don’t download anything else, I highly recommend this as the best baby mod for Sims 4. This mod goes above and beyond another baby cc, in that it really does add realism and gameplay for sims taking care of a baby. As a family player, I like how it makes Sims 4 babies more interactive. Do note that you cannot use this mod with any mod that alters the base game bassinets– but it is base game compatible. I will note that the bulk of this mod is related to being a parent.
The mod adds a new functional menu for interactions. New interactions include: complain about feeling exhausted; talk about returning to work; talk about babies; share self-care tips with new parents; promote breastfeeding; discuss First Christmas; debate about diaper brands, and complain about baby teething. Each interaction also includes corresponding moodlets, with the option to work with other custom content moods (linked on the mod page).
You’ll also get new, unique moodlets from interacting with your baby, with unique descriptions such as ‘sweet moment,’ ‘a lovely lullaby,’ and many more. In addition, you have an option to read a parenting magazine, and new interactions for toddlers, too. Download Here.
Easygoing Baby Mod by egureh
If you’re trying the 100 baby challenge– or just find your sims with a full household– taking care of a baby can be a challenge. And while technically during something like the 100 baby challenge you aren’t ‘supposed to use mods, there’s no judgment from me if you do. While I personally enjoy challenges in my Sims 4 game, I could also see this mod as being handy if you’re trying to do a machinima, let’s play, or simply want to focus on other sims.
This simple mod allows your baby’s needs to decay more slowly, leaving you time for other sims in the household, and/or other tasks. The need for decay is halved, meaning that you’ll only have to tend to your baby’s needs every other day. There’s even an option for a no needs decay–if you’re really not into taking care of your baby’s hunger and bladder needs.
Ghosts Can Have Babies Mod by PolarBearSims
If you’re a fan of both family gameplay and supernatural gameplay, take heart: you can have a ghost family with this mod by PolarBearSims, a creator who I mostly know for their Have Some Personality Mod, which can be downloaded nearly two million times.
This talent modder brings some baby care into a ghost’s experience. I’ve always found it odd that ghosts in Sims 4 can have romantic relationships, and even marry but not have babies, and this mod remedies that. Do note that this does not allow your ghosts to have ghost babies. Rather, this mod simply unlocks the ‘Try for Baby’ interaction for ghosts. Babies will be born as normal babies in Sims 4.
Make sure you download the latest version of the mod to ensure it works. This mod, like the previous mods, is base game compatible. Download Here.
Baby Without Crib by Kiolometro
Tired of your baby being confined to their crib? This mod by Kiolometro allows your baby just a little more freedom, if only in appearance. Essentially, it replaces the default bassinet and frees a Sims 4 baby to be placed on any flat surface. A favorite way to use this mod is to pair it with custom content cribs and beds– which is why it can actually be incredibly useful. Say goodbye to blah base game bassinet and free your baby up to a more unique and personalized option. Download Here.
CAS and Build/ Buy CC
Creating a Sim and building/buying custom content all adds aesthetically pleasing updates to your game, but in the case of baby cc, it really does help address the lack of personalization for Sims 4 babies. While it’s only surface-level additions, I like cc for nurseries and even onesies to make the stories I want to.
Just as all Sims 4 babies come with one default bassinet, they also are dressed in default, and frankly bland onesie. Custom content creators come to the rescue for replacements to make your baby stand out a bit more.
Little Lamb Default Skins and Outfits by Martine
This option replaces both the default skins and baby outfits. All three default skin tones are replaced, as well as new baby outfits, which feature green, pink and blue stripes paired with gray pants. I love that the cc also includes a PSD file. This unique file allows you greater customization, with options to swap different eye colors with different skins, or even create your own defaults to replace, if you’re savvy. This mod also works with the Nifty Knitting stuff pack onesies. Download Here.
Mcrudd’s Mixed Baby Outfits Set
From colorful purple onesies to two printed white ones, these baby outfits provide a little for personalization and interest beyond your default. I love the classic alien and llama nods, for an iconic look to mainstays of the franchise. Download Here.
Mcrudd’s Bear Baby Outfits Set
These onesies are cute and simple replacements for the default onesies that don’t stand out too much from the default base game. Pink is automatically selected for females, blue for males, and green for alien babies. Download Here.
Mcrudd’s Incredible Babies Outfit Set
My final pick for onesies from Mcrudd on Sims Resource is this set featuring the beloved Incredibles logo and iconic red hue. It also pairs with an eye mask. Do note that the baby’s eyes will always be a bright blue. Download Here.
Nurseries and Baby Rooms
There are precious few nursery items in Sims 4 right now, no matter what packs you have. While there are ways to spruce up a nursery by using some items that came with Sims 4: Toddler Stuff, there’s a lot to be desired. The good news is that there are some high-quality nursery furnishings and set, both more maxis match and alpha cc, on The Sims Resource. There are a total of 29 complete sets to choose from, but here are a few of my favorites.
Severinka’s Lily Nursery
This beautifully designed Sims 4 nursery set provides 9 maxis match items: an alcove, alcove bumper, decorative crib (unless you have the mod), pillows, living chair, poof, floor lamp, and cupboards for medium and short wall heights. The color swatches lean soft pastel and feature a pleasing aesthetic that can fit in most traditional and modern homes. Download Here.
Severinka’s Nana Nursery
The same talented creator delivers another one of my favorite Sims 4 nursery sets, though this set will likely appeal to fans of more realistic, alpha cc. The clean style is modern while still feeling cozy, featuring 10 objects: a decorative crib, pennants, a dresser with three swatches, a toy horse, posters, a toy basket, and a paper box. I especially love the animal posters and the Scandinavian style. Download Here.
JomSims’ Acnassy Nursery
These whimsical maxis match nursery can be used with the baby without crib mod (see above) and comes in lilac, pink, blue and neutral hues. The 11 piece set includes a crib, rugs, loveseat, decorative pillows, rocking chair, wall white, decorative changing table, toybox, curtains, and wall art. I am especially fond of the koala bear pictures and the ethereal curtains. Download Here.
NynaeveDesign’s Aura Nursery
This is perhaps my favorite nursery for Sims 4 babies if I had to pick just one. Not only have I used it in my own build before, but it’s simply charming and unique– while still feeling not out of place for a variety of styles. Items come in green, orange, pink, and blue variants. The 11 piece set includes a crib, bumper, baby blanket, canopy, baby mobile, zebra pillow, nursing chair, leg rest, throw blanket, dresser, and changing pad. Download Here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How long do babies stay babies in Sims 4?
Answer: Babies stay in the life stage for anywhere from one and a half up to twelve days, depending on how long of a life span you have set for your sims. For a short life span, the baby stage is just a day and a half. That increases to three days for a normal life span, and twelve for a long life span.
Question: Can you accidentally have a baby in Sims 4?
Answer: In an unmodded Sims 4 game, you have to actively try for a baby, though mods, including MCCC (master controller command center), can allow your sims to autonomously try for a baby on their own; you can also adjust the percent chance you’ll be successful. There are also mods that enable accidental pregnancies.
Sims 4 may still need some tweaking for family gameplay– which is in high demand for 2021– but the good news is that a robust modding and cc community can really help personalize your game and fill in some of those gaps, as this baby cc shows.

If you’ve looked around my blog you will see that I love gel stain projects! In fact, second to chalk paints my next favorite products are gel stains. It’s amazing what a simple coat of gel stain can do to freshen up an old piece of furniture! Well, today I am going to share another gel stain project. My daughter and I decided to give our farm house style dining table a makeover using gel stain and chalk mineral paint. Here in this post I’ll share more about the Farm House Table Makeover!

Why This Table Needed A Makeover
Updating this dining table has been on my to do list for some time, however you know how it goes. You get busy and other projects take precedence. But, with recent changes to our schedules with the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve all had plenty of extra time at home. My daughter pretty much finished her senior year academic work about 1 and 1/2 months earlier than planned due to Covid-19. And I was temporarily at home more from work due to Covid closures. To keep busy we started on some projects around the house. And this dining table makeover was at that top of the list!
We purchased this farm house style dining table about 10 years ago from Ashley Furniture. It has a built in leaf. We purchased the table with one farm house style bench and four chairs. Over the years, two of the chairs broke so we were down to two chairs and one bench. Everybody prefers the bench seat so my daughter and I looked online at Ashley Furniture online. They actually sale this bench through Amazon here. The color of the newer bench was just a little different but it was inexpensive so I went ahead and made that purchase. We weren’t worried about any differences in coloring between the two benches since our plan was to paint the bench base and gel stain the seat.
Supplies Mentioned In This Post
Dixie Belle White Lightening
Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint in Fluff
Dixie Belle Boss In White
Dixie Belle Clear Coat in Satin
Dixie Belle Gator Hide Top Coat
Dixie Belle Voo Doo Stain in Tobacco Road
Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain in Espresso
Paintbrushes – I used Annie Sloan Oval Chalk Paint Brush and Dixie Belle Angled Synthetic Mini
3M Buffing Pads and Between Coats Finishing Pads or You can Use Quadruple Zero Steel Wool
Farm House Table Makeover – Getting Started
To start on this farm house table makeover we removed the table top from the base. The table top and benches were taken downstairs to the garage/den area. Sanding produces dust and gel staining needs some ventilation so I prefer to do this out in the garage. Once we got the tabletop onto our workspace we began to sand by hand, doing the same to the bench seats.
Sanding- Why I Chose To Sand
The table top and the bench seats have a thin veneer over them so I didn’t want to chance it with an electric sander. But sanding by hand is more controllable and gives you a good workout too! I started with 120 grit to get a few areas that had scratches and paint marks and then finished with a 220 all over to smooth it out. If you want more info on sanding for a better paint adhesion and a smoother paint finish check out How to Get A Smoother Finish With Chalk Mineral Paint. One of the features I love about using gel stain is that it lays over a finished surface nicely. Unlike a water based stain which has to settle into the wood grain a gel based stain is much thicker and will work great on both raw wood and finished or previously-stained surfaces.
To prep the chairs for paint we sanded them down gently with a fine 220 grit sanding pad, just to give a little grit for the paint to stick to. Most of the time, I prefer to sand before I paint. Even if it’s just a little sanding by hand. It is true that chalk and mineral style paints don’t require sanding. They really adhere well without sanding, but I think a little sanding helps to give a smoother finish, but you can decide for your piece of furniture.
Reupholstering The Chair Cushions
We then removed the seat pads so that they could be re-covered with new upholstery. I have a post on how to reupholster a chair seat pad. These seats didn’t need new cushions, which was great. So they only needed new material stretched over the original seat cushions. So super easy to do and it’s amazing how new upholstery on a dining chair freshens up the room! We found the cutest coffee print material on Joanne fabrics online. A fun print with just the right colors and a super cute coffee and latte print!
Why You Should Prep With Cleaning Before Paint
After all the pieces were sanded, I cleaned them with Dixie Belle White Lightening. White Lightening does an amazing job at removing all the grime and yuck that you don’t want under your paint finish. It’s easy to use as you just mix the specified amount of White Lightening crystals in warm water and then give your items a good wipe down. After cleaning do a good wipe down with clear water to remove the White Lightening residue. Furniture cleaning is not the most fun part of the painting process, but it is so important!
Prime Before Painting
To makeover the farm house table we opted to paint the table base and legs, chairs, and bench bases with chalk mineral paint. For the paint, I chose Dixie Belle in Fluff. I love Fluff because it is a good white, not too bright but not an antique white. On furniture it looks like a true white and gives great coverage. Before the paint we did a primer base of Dixie Belle Boss in White. Primer is often needed on dark woods if you are painting them white and in any case where you worry the stain from the previous finish will seep through and ruin your nice white paint job! If you are looking for some basic help with chalk painting check out this post on Chalk Paint Makeovers Made Simple.
Paint The Table and Chairs With Chalk Mineral Paint
After two coats of Boss, we did two coats of Fluff on most areas. There were a few spots that I touched up with a third coat. Dixie Belle paint gives great coverage in my opinion and goes on smooth. I always mist my brush and my furniture to be painted with water using my misting bottle. One big tip for new chalk painters is not to be afraid to add water. It’s better to do more coats that are thinner than to do thick coats that go on too clumpy, which causes brush marks.
Choosing A Brush And How To Reduce Brush Marks
Another tip for chalk painting is to use a good brush. I tend to choose Annie Sloan original oval medium brushes, Dixie Belle synthetic brushes or my Cling-On S50. These are my go to brushes. I have lots of Purdy and Valspar brushes that I like as well and also a Wooster brush or two, but I find that brushes that are designed for chalk style paint work better to provide a smoother finish.
Now I’ll give you a few of my favorite tips for getting less brush marks in your finish. Try to use light strokes, typically holding the brush at a 45 degree angle parallel with the surface. Also use a misting bottle to mist the brush and/or the surface as you paint. This will likely make the brush glide better over the surface. If your chalk paint has been sitting around too long it can get to thick. In this case I like to pour the desired amount of paint into a bowl or jar and mix just a little water to thin before painting. You don’t want your paint drippy but you also don’t want it too thick so add just a little water at a time.
Topcoat For Chalk Mineral Paint
After the final coat of paint was dry on all these bases we proceeded with our top coat. I chose Dixie Belle Clear Coat in the Satin finish. We ended up doing two coats, letting them dry thoroughly in between but they do dry quickly. Dixie Belle Clear Coat goes on easily, but remember that it goes on a cloudy white but dries clear. Many favor applying the topcoat with the Dixie Belle Blue Sponge. I also find that the Dixie Belle Premium Chip Brush is great for applying clear coat! I now have three of these chip brushes and have and washed them so many times. They hold up beautifully. I’ll admit that at first I thought that I was crazy for spending about $10 on a chip brush but I absolutely would do it again! It’s a very versatile brush!
Gel Staining The Tabletop and Benches
Okay, so on to the next step in this farm house table makeover. Now that the table and bench bases and the chairs are painted and topcoat applied, we were ready to move on to the gel stain. We opted to gel stain the table and bench tops. To finish up the chairs we just re-attached the reupholstered chair seats. It still amazes me that simple paint and new upholstery gave those old brown chairs a fresh new vibe! So, if you are thinking of updating your old dining chairs go ahead! Don’t be afraid to take the leap!
For the gel stained tabletop I knew I wanted a dark stain color, so I went with Dixie Belle No Pain Gel Stain in Espresso. Oh my, let me just say that when you open this can of gel stain you will fall in love with that deep rich color. Compared to the No Pain Gel Stain in Walnut it does go on a deeper richer brown, very much like General Finished Java Gel, another gel stain that I reach for often! They are very similar in color. The Java Gel stain is just a bit thicker than the No Pain Gel Stain. But they both go on beautifully.
Tips For Using Gel Stain
I have a whole post about how to use gel stain if you’d like to check that out for some helpful tips. My favorite way to apply gel stain is to brush it on with a foam applicator brush and then wipe away in nice even long stokes following the wood grain with a gel stain applicator pad. You will want to keep a “wet edge” as you apply the stain in long strokes across your surface, wiping it into the grain. This is a messy process and it doesn’t wash off skin like paint does, so make sure to use gloves! Gel stain also needs to be applied in an area with some ventilation. A big tip is to avoid going back over spots once it starts to dry as this will cause smudges.
You can apply more than one coat of gel stain. Follow the product labeling to see what your particular brand recommends. I usually find two coats of gel stain to give a great finish, but you can individualize it to your tastes. It is important to let you gel stain sit for 72 hours before you topcoat. You don’t absolutely have to apply a topcoat to gel stain, but given this is a table and benches that will see very heavy use, I opted to topcoat. I then did 2 coats of Gator Hide and then 1 coat of Clear Coat in Satin.
How To Topcoat Gel Stain
If you read much on Gator Hide you may see that many complain about getting a hazy or streaky finish with it. I find that when it is applied with a blue sponge or a foam roller that it works best. Anytime you apply Gator Hide or any topcoat over a dark paint or gel stain finish you will see some streaking most likely even with experienced applications. To reduce this some recommend buffing between coats of Gator Hide with a quadruple zero steel wool. I have tried this and found it to be helpful, but I also like to use the Between Coats Buffing pads by 3M.
Something else I tried was to mix in just a little of the Dixie Belle Voo Doo Stain in Tobacco Road, which is water-based with my topcoat and this helped to reduce streaking somewhat. So you may give that a try. The tobacco road is just a little different color than the Espresso so it may cause a little color variation but I didn’t find it noticeable. I have a helpful tip sheet for choosing topcoats that you can check out if you are interested!

What You'll Need
Pair of Scissors
Plate or Tray
1. Thaw your fish in the coldest part of the refrigerator for about 8 hours, depending on the thickness of the fillet, and use it within 24 hours. To further reduce the risk of botulism, snip the corner of the pouch to release the vacuum seal before refrigerating. Never microwave your fish or allow it to sit out at room temperature to thaw as both methods can affect the texture.
2. Open-package thawing: Set frozen fish on a paper towel–lined plate, then cover with another paper towel and refrigerate overnight.
3. Although fish can technically be cooked from frozen, it’s not recommended for all preparations because sudden temperature changes can negatively affect the texture, leaving it soggy.
4. To quick-thaw your fish, keep fish in the vacuum-sealed packaging and submerge it in cold tap water, changing water every 30 minutes. Prepare and consume fish immediately after thawing.

What is the future of retail marijuana in Fresno? Seventeen stores are in the process of obtaining conditional use permits, the next step to finally sell the drug legally.
But four licenses are still in play across three different areas of the city.
Two lawsuits, and possibly more, are pending.
One applicant faces fraud charges and has stepped down as CEO of a cannabis corporation.
And, there are complaints about how licenses are awarded, with some people using colorful, four-letter words.
Meanwhile, the City Hall official in charge of Fresno’s cannabis system says the system is a work in progress.
“For being the first one out of the box, 17 out of 21 (to make it through the appeal process)? I’d say we did OK, but it could be improved. So that’s the thing. We’re going to work with counsel to look at the ordinance,” said Fresno City Manager Thomas Esqueda.

After 12 packed days, the Big Fresno Fair wrapped up a successful 139th year on Sunday.
It was the first under the sole stewardship of new CEO Lauri King, who served as the co-CEO for last year’s event as the fair bounced back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the finale, the fair released a bevy of data and numbers showing its wide reach throughout Fresno County and the Central Valley and economic impact.
The fair’s social media pages reached over 27 million impressions over the 12-day span with around 140,000 followers on all platforms.
More than 2,500 animals were exhibited this year, many of which came from the 1,000-plus 4-H and FFA students who exhibited their animals.
806 animals were put up for auction at three livestock sales, which grossed more than $1.2 million in fundraisers.
The Cow Palace Milking Demonstrations even resulted in 910 gallons of milk collected.
For the first time since 2019, the Fair Education Program brought Fresno County elementary students to the fair for free.
More than 20,000 students, teachers and chaperones attended the fair and toured the fairgrounds, visiting the exhibits to learn about agriculture and livestock.
Over in the agriculture building, 54 different varieties of grapes were judged, and 24,000 bees were displayed as part of the Central Valley Bee keepers exhibit.
The Gem and Mineral Exhibit saw 600 pounds of polished rock handed out to children and $6,400 in scholarships awarded to Fresno State and Fresno City College geology students.
The Central California SPCA hosted an adoption clinic this year and adopted out 30 dogs, 10 cats, and four guinea pigs.
The famed Country Fair Cinnamon Rolls, which has been in business for 42 years, used over 32,000 pounds of flour, 10,000 pounds of cinnamon and sugar, 6,750 pounds of cream cheese, 14.5 million pounds of butter, 1,500 pounds of pecans and 350 pounds of coffee.
Fabulous Fanny’s Funnel Cakes used over 2,500 pounds of fresh strawberries as the most popular funnel cake was strawberries and whipped cream.
Total attendance for the 2022 Big Fresno Fair is still being calculated after the 12-day run.

On the just released song Play, The Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl challenged himself to create a 23 minute musical journey all on his own.
Play is proggy, slightly cinematic, not unlike Porcupine Tree’s longer excursions, but don’t come expecting a Dream Theater style soloing workout. This is essentially about Grohl on drums and heavy chorded guitar riffs with a few keyboard and percussive embellishments.
Other do-it-yourselfers like Paul McCartney (a recent Grohl collaborator), may come to mind; Todd Rundgren (A Wizard, A True Star, Something/Anything) – sure. But this particular piece, with its evolving rhythmic changes, simple melodic lines, and arpeggios reminds me most of the early 1970’s work of Michael Oldfield (Tubular Bells, Ommadawn).
Daves of Future Past…
Previously Dave and the Foo Fighters have looked to the past for inspiration. He has paid homage to Sound City recording studios and its iconic mixing console. The group have traveled North America to write and collaborate in the historical seats of specific musical idioms and produced the Sonic Highways series to document their experiences. With Play the drummer has his sites set on the next generation.
The accompanying video reveals that the multi-instrumentalist was inspired by watching his own kids and other youngsters just beginning to learn their instruments; really digging in and applying themselves to the task. It’s an obsession required to master music and students at Join the Band are interviewed about their experience. Guitarist Henry sums up the required repetition and regimen “…I try to play it. If I mess up on a part, I go back to the beginning of the song …mess up again, I go back” He concludes succinctly, “It’s kind of annoying, but I like it.”
Grohl says “It’s awesome seeing these kids trying to figure it out. I’m still trying to figure it out. …looking for the next challenge. Doing something I’ve never done before.” To that end Grohl deciding to record the Play tracks stem to stern – completely non-stop. That meant starting from the top of each take should a mistake be made, even in the eleventh hour. No punch in’s allowed.
The song is a fun, exciting and involving listen. The video is a must watch. It has already served to entice me back into a creative musical mood. So, see you all later. I’m setting up to play.

The opening of Cuba to Americans is still a work in progress. But the Obama administration is in good shape to ease travel restrictions despite the resistance from House Republicans.
The opening of Cuba to U.S. travelers has been a major focus of the Obama administration since the December 17, 2014, announcement that it would normalize relations with the island nation.
Embassies have now opened in both countries, while tour operators and cruise lines gear up to capitalize on the expected rush of American tourists. Pro-travel lobbyists have been working for years behind-the-scenes to encourage the Obama administration to take on the challenge of restoring relations with Cuba.
“The challenge has been that no one thought this issue was going anywhere for two decades,” said James Williams, president of Engage Cuba. “By going so big, President Obama made it so every office in Congress had to start thinking about Cuba again.”
Engage Cuba is a non-profit public policy group with goals shared by a variety of organizations across several business sectors.
Williams was on hand for the recent flag-raising ceremony, along with Secretary of State John Kerry, at the site of the new American embassy in Havana.
The imprimatur of the Obama administration has allowed lobbyists to band together with NGOs and other corporate interests to advance the cause of opening travel to Cuba.
“The Cuba lobby had tried to intimidate people away from the issue in the past, saying no one touches Cuba or your career is over,” said Williams. “President Obama called that bluff and it is universally seen as going well for him politically.”
According to Williams, Airbnb has been a major beneficiary of the legal changes instituted so far; it doesn’t suffer any of the red tape hotel brands will face in entering the Cuban accommodations market.
“Airbnb has been one of the companies uniquely able to take advantage of the legislative changes,” said Williams. “One of the founders of Airbnb told me it got more [publicity] for its launch in Cuba than it did for the original launch of the company.”
The next step is pushing new legislation through the next session of Congress to lift travel and trade bans.
A major impediment to change remains a contingent of House Republicans who are either opposed to all policies supported by President Obama or have hunkered down as their conservative peers began to support Obama’s policies. President Obama is expected to veto any restrictions on Cuban travel they may attempt to pass.
Part of Engage Cuba’s current legislative goal is to change the restrictions that limit tour operators to running large-group people-to-people tours. It is pushing for the availability of individual licenses.
“It really meets the intentions of what the President is trying to do: foster connetions between real people,” said Williams. “On people-to-people tours, you self-segregate by eating in private rooms and traveling on conspicuous buses full of 40 tourists. But if there’s just two of you on the trip, you’re going to talk to new people and engage with normal Cuban.”
Allowing U.S. airlines to operate more freely in Cuba is also a priority.
In Havana, the focus is on facilitating the involvement of American businesses in the Cuban economy. Building these ties will help speed the Congressional action in the U.S.
While Engage Cuba has been active since June, other groups representing members of the travel industry have been working for years to advocate the expansion of travel to Cuba.
“There was no movement at all and all of a sudden it exploded in December,” said Eben Peck, vice president of government affairs for the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). “This is one of the Obama administration’s legacy issues, they want to move the needle on this issue and change the relationship with the government of Cuba.”
The group’s members have seen a renewed focus on international travel; 60 percent of sales made by its agent members are for international trips, up from 40 percent a decade ago.

Young Couple Found Dead In Bed While Hugging Each Other After Drug Overdose
A young couple has been found dead in bed while holding on to each other after they overdosed on drugs.
To their family and friends, Michelle Avila and Christian Kent seemed like a walking advertisement for the perfect Orange County couple.
They were Newport Beach natives, with the sun-kissed blonde hair and surfing skills to prove it.
But then one morning Michelle, 23, and Christian, 20, were found dead from a drug overdose in her childhood bed.
Their shocking deaths have shattered their families and highlighted the growing problem of opioid addiction in the affluent beach community.
On the night before their death on October 14, the couple had been at a party at a friend’s house.
Her parents said Michelle didn’t ‘party too much’, choosing instead to spend her time with Christian and their close group of friends in the area.
Michelle and Christian had both been sick with a cold and were taking antibiotics. She told her parents Paulo and Adriana Avila that she didn’t plan to drink that night.
After they came back home around 12.30am, Michelle wished her mother good night and laid out her clothes for a 6am shift at a Newport Beach coffee shop where she worked.
When Adriana came home from work at 4pm that day, she found the couple dead in bed.
‘Two beautiful kids,’ Paulo told Coast Report Online. ‘It was like Romeo and Juliet.’
‘They both died and they were hugging each other.’
It will take months for Michelle and Christian’s toxicology reports to be completed, but Paulo is certain they died from a drug overdose after talking to police and experts.
Still, he told the Orange County Register that right now he has more questions than answers.
‘What happened to those kids?’ he asked. ‘What did they do? What happened to get to that point?’
Paulo and Adriana moved Michelle and her sister to Newport Beach when they were young, thinking it would be a safer place for their girls then Los Angeles.
Michelle had been a star student growing up, once even receiving a letter from President George W Bush to honor her achievements.
She had spent the last few years traveling across Bali, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Japan and Brazil before she began modeling and studying communications at Orange Coast College and moved back to her parents’ home to save money.
Paulo said she and Christian planned to transfer to California State University, Long Beach together after the spring. She dreamed of being a journalist.
‘She was going to follow her sister,’ he said. ‘She loved writing, she loved to write, she loved speech.’
‘She was an old soul,’ her mother added. ‘Always with her coffee, her writing, poems, her pictures, her words.’
Michelle was known for writing down lyrics or phrases that caught her eye.
She was especially drawn to the phrase ‘life is a gamble’, which was tattooed on her arm and written in her Instagram bio.
Family said that Michelle and Christian fell in love quickly after they first met at a coffee shop where she worked, dating for a year before he moved to San Diego for college.
Michelle frequently posted photos of the couple on Instagram, sharing their various trips together and frequent outings to the beach.
‘Today I had to say goodbye for now, to my best friend and partner in crime,’ Michelle wrote in a loving tribute to her boyfriend on Instagram in August.
‘I remember the day you came into my work, smiled at me with those eyes and asked me for my number. You found me at just the right time, andlife has been one hell of a ride since!’
‘It’s crazy how two souls can connect so deeply and quickly. You are so special and smart and gonna kill it at university!’
‘Can’t wait for some more amazing memories to be made.’
A month before they died, Michelle posted another tribute to Christian.
‘Waking up next to you is such a good feeling,’ she wrote. ‘Like all my worries and problems have drifted far away, and the only thing that matters is being in your arms and enjoying the moment as much as I can, because I know it won’t last.’

You can use shea butter instead of cocoa butter in the mix along with grated beeswax. Mix 3 capsules of vitamin E also in the mixture. Using a glass measuring cup makes it easy to pour the gloss prepared later on. If you do not have one right now, using plain glass will be fine too. Make sure to not include the actual capsule of vitamin E, just the liquid inside of it.
- Use a double boiler on the stove or a microwave. If you use the double stove, use a large enough pot to hold the glass measuring cup. Fill this pot with water for about 2 to 3 inches. Put it on the stove and heat it to medium level and then keep it aside with all the needed ingredients inside the pot.
- Make sure not even a single drop of water enters the measuring cup as it may ruin all the ingredients and would not let them mix properly. If you do not have a stove, a microwave will just do fine. Just remain careful and let the ingredients inside it for 10 to 15 seconds only to avoid burning. Stir it after 10s seconds to check.
- Keep stirring the ingredients periodically until all the ingredients have thoroughly mixed. This can be done using a silicone spatula for scarping the downsides of the measuring cup so that no ingredients are left behind on the measuring cup. Once no lumps are left and it has mixed evenly, it’s done!
- Try to use disposables to avid cleaning the ingredients later on.
- Pour the mixture prepared into lip gloss tubes while it is still firm. The gloss prepared is easier to pour when it is hot or warm. Once it cools down, the flow will be difficult. Rather than using chapstick tubes or tins, use actual lip gloss containers. This helps create a gloss rather than lip balms as the consistency formed will be runnier compared to balms. Use a funnel if you face trouble getting the lip gloss into tubes or any container.
- Let the lip gloss cool inside the tube for 20 minutes before you start applying it. This cooling time is necessary to allow it to firm up a bit so it becomes less runny. Once it has cooled down, apply it to your lips. Use a fridge for after cooling if you are in a hurry.
4. Adding glitter, color, or scent in lip gloss
Once you know how to make lip gloss, you may add glitter or colors to make it as pretty and useful as the one you get ready from stores. Follow the steps to achieve this:
- Make the lip gloss scented using 3 to 4 drops of essential oil. After your mixture melts properly, use a few drops of essential oils before adding them to a container. Stir the drops thoroughly for a fine consistency. You may try these scents like peppermint for a brain and fresh scent, Lavender for a soothing scent, and lime or orange for a citrus burst scent.
- Use blush and beetroot powder for a stunning shade of color to your lip gloss. Simple scape 2.5 mL of any blush powder of your favorite color and add it to gloss after it melts. Stir them until mixed thoroughly. Know that the more powder or lipstick you use, the darker your lip gloss becomes. Find your favorite color or tint by mixing them properly.
- Add a teaspoon of lipstick of your choice to create a unique shade. A little extra lipstick will give your gloss a deeper shade. Red, purple, pink, or any other color will give your gloss a perfect finish.
- If you love glitters, you may also create a sparkly gloss by adding some glitter to the mixture prepared. Start by adding only 2 grams of glitter at first to melted lip gloss and see if it is enough to give you your desired results, if not, add more! Mix them thoroughly and pour the gloss into a tube or any other containers.
- Avoid using craft glitter. It is only for coming in contact with your skin and not good for ingesting accidentally. It may turn out to be very harmful.
- Also, make sure you do not use too much glitter as it may change the consistency of that gloss making it grainy.
These were some ways using which you can learn how to make lip gloss at home easily using few ingredients only.

Common Questions about Dermaplaning
One of the reasons that your skin may appear lifeless and dull is because you have a build-up of dead skin cells clogging your pores and marring your complexion. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that can exfoliate your skin and get rid of those dead skin cells so that your skin can glow like it was meant to.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin revitalizing treatment that is able to both improve the look and texture of your skin while also removing unwanted vellus facial hair. Generally, this treatment is an excellent alternative to harsh chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments.
How Does It Work?
Dermaplaning works in a rather simple way: it exfoliates your skin and removes dead skin cells with medical scalpel. This scalpel gently glides over your skin in a completely painless manner.
For the treatment, the blade is moved along your skin at a 45-degree angle. This motion will remove the uppermost layer of your skin, clearing away all those dead skin cells and also removing that unwanted, fine hair on your face.
During your treatment, you will only feel a gentle scratching sensation as the blade is moved over your skin. This treatment is pain-free, and you will not experience any discomfort.
What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
There are several benefits of dermaplaning. For one, as the scalpel removes dead skin cells, your skin with be fresher and your skin tone will be improved. Most of our patients report that their skin glows after their treatment. Dermaplaning can also reduce the look of acne scars, minimize any fine lines, and treat areas of hyperpigmentation. Last, this treatment can rid you of that fine hair on your chin and around your lips.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments you will need depends on your desired results. Usually, we recommend having a treatment done every 3-4 weeks so that you can maintain the health and beauty of your skin.
When Will I See Results?
You will see results almost right away, as the treatment exfoliates your skin, leaving it more radiant and clear.
Is There Downtime?
No, there is no downtime associated with dermaplaning. You can have the treatment done and quickly get right back to your life without any discomfort or recovery time.
Will I Make a Good Candidate?
Yes, you make a great candidate for dermaplaning. This treatment can be used on all different skin tones, types, and colors.

I remember The Perfect Game series being the first sports romance books I ever read. Author J Sterling was at the forefront of self-publishing romance authors and whose books I never miss. Her books are like my favorite sweatpants, something I love and you’ll have to tear out of my cold dead hands. You can check out her long list of amazing books here.
Always a lover of a brother series, when I read about her new Fisher Brothers series I was excited. These sexy brothers books don’t disappoint. Check out Nick in No Bad Days (The Fisher Brothers Book 1), Frank in Guy Hater (The Fisher Brothers Book 2) and finally Ryan’s story Adios Pantalones (The Fisher Brothers Book 3). I was looking for something fun to read and saw this title Adios Pantalones and I knew I had to read this book. Ryan’s story is funny, sweet and sexy. Who doesn’t like a story that starts with “I’m the hopeless romantic in the family and I don’t care who knows it.” Yep swoon! Then there’s Sofia a single mom who’s had her heart broken keeping him at a distance. The series is currently available for free on Kindle Unlimited as are most of J’s books.
I am grateful that she took five minutes out of her busy writing schedule to answer my five burning questions.
2. Do you remember the first romance book you ever read? Can you tell me about it?
3. What type of stories would you like to write but haven’t yet? Menage, BDSM or a sexless romance. The sexless romance should come with a warning. Don’t you think?
4. What’s your favorite thing to do when you aren’t writing or reading?
5. If you could have a dinner party and invite anyone to it, who would it be? Celebrities, book boyfriends, intellectuals or anyone. Name five people.
6. For bonus points, what’s your favorite swear word?

I just noticed one unresolvable incompatibility with R6RS:

In R6RS this copies bv1[i..i+k-1] into bv2[j..j+k-1]. In the draft, it copies bv2[j..k-1] into bv1[i..i+(k-j)-1]. Ouch. OTOH, I think R6RS got this one wrong: Mutable operations in Scheme have the target ("left-hand") value first, and the source ("right-hand") value last.

Last weekend were the 61st Annual Grammy Awards show. There was a wide range of performers differencing in genre. The show started out with Camila Cabello singing one of her most popular songs “Havana.” For Cabello being so young and being the opening act at the Grammys was a perfect fit. I love how she incorporated Hispanic culture. In previous years of the Grammys they have lacked in making it a diverse show. Her incorporation of singing in Spanish and salsa dancing made the performance pop out. To top everything off, Ricky Martin a Puerto Rican singer, J Balvin a Columbian singer and Arturo Sandoval an American Cuban jazz trumpeteer, joined Cabello on stage. Seeing all these Hispanic artists being brought together by music, and sharing the stage at the Grammys was a perfect way to start the show off.
To highlight a few more performances, Shawn Mendes and Miley Cyrus collab singing Mendes song “In My Blood.” This collaboration really caught my eye. Mendaz started out on a platform for the beginning of the song playing piano. Then went to the main stage joining Cyrus. The performance was simple, well done, and entertaining. It was nice to see Cyrus in a different setting. They’re voices together were fabulous. I was really impressed.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been around for about 35 years, who knew they would be sharing the stage with rapper, Post Malone. Right off the bat I knew it’d be an interesting performance. Personally, I didn’t like it. Malone started out with his song “Stay” on acoustic then transitioned to a censored version of “Rockstar.” It was cool to see him start out on acoustic, his performance of Rockstar was also cool. The smoke and light affects were fun to see. I just don’t like how it was a censored version of the song because that’s not who Malone is. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were interesting. They sang “Dark Necessities.” There’s not much to say about them because they’re an OG band, and I respect their music, despite I don’t listen to them all the time. To me there performance didn’t seem like a collab. They either focused on Malone or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Never really combined them both.
One last performance to talk about is the tribute to country singer Dolly Parton. Kacey Musgraves, Miley Cyrus, Maren Morris, Little Big Town and Katy Perry joined Parton on stage to sing a few of her songs. They sang songs from “Jolene” to “9 to 5.” The performance was stunning. It was cool to see all these country artist, with the exception of Perry, being brought together on stage. It was a little confusing to see Perry on stage because she doesn’t have a country background but still nice to see her there. During the performance everyone had a smile on there face, they were definitely enjoying themselves. I mean who wouldn’t love to sing with a legend like Parton.
Looking back to see who won some awards. Multiple artists popped up in multiple awards. It’s not a bad thing but it doesn’t give other artists a chance to be nominated or even win an award. People like Cardi B, Kacey Musgraves, and H.E.R were nominated for multiple awards in different categories, but they’re artists who haven’t really been recognized in previous years. Onto a few categories and winners.
For song of the year the winner was “This is America” by Childish Gambino. It’s not a bad song. I had never heard of this guy prior to watching the Grammys. Should he have win? Well let’s just say that Drakes song “God’s Plan” there was a huge hype over. He did some amazing things in the music video. I’m not terribly disappointed he didn’t win.
Cardi B won best rap album for “Invasion,” I was really happy with this win. She is the first female rapper to win this category which is impressive. There was some shade being thrown at her because Nicki Minaj never won this category and she’s been around longer. Cardi is newer, has a different background, and her music is catchy. She was up against some good rappers like travis Scott and Mac Miller. I thought Miller would win because when people pass away their music usually bumps up in listens. Overall Cardi did deserve that award.
Kacey Musgraves took home the award for album of the year. Her album “Golden Hour” is amazing. She performed “Rainbow” which is off the album. This was her first year winning a Grammy. Actually, she walked away with four Grammys. The other three are for best country album, best country song and best country solo performance. Without a doubt Musgraves really deserved this award and all the other ones.
Drake’s song “God’s Plan” won best rap song. Compared to the other nominees, Drake definitely deserved the awards. During his acceptance speech Drake said,”But my point is you’ve already won if you have people singing your songs word for word, if you’re a hero in your hometown. Look, if there’s people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don’t need this right here. I promise you, you already won.” I love what he said because it’s relatable. He actually got cut off during his speech which was bogus because he didn’t say anything bad.
Best rock song, St. Vincent took the win for “Masseduction.” The song isn’t too bad. Twenty One Pilots was up for the award. I wanted them to win but realistically I think Bring Me The Horizon should’ve won. They’re song “Mantra” is amazing. It was really well done. It’s a bit disappointing that they didn’t win.
Overall the 61st Annual Grammy Awards was everything but disappointing. They had some amazing collaborations and amazing performances. They had a great host, Alicia Keys, who kept the show going. I was happy with most of the winners. Can’t wait to see what next years Grammy’s have in store.

When you are in a marriage, you need to understand these is build and have all of them clearly defined. This will likely enable you to get along with one another. On the boat more about the relationship is build and be able to adhere to them till the end.
Almost all men and women experience relationship relies that define the way they see and feel toward their partner. These bottom part relationships will be more than just sexual activity. There can be other factors like respect, understanding, friendship etc that define your relationship too. There is no justification in defining the relationship is build as such for those who have https://mybeautifulbride.net/rating/asiandate varied understandings and ideals. It will probably always result in complications in the later levels of your romance.
Your romance bases may be sex, words, cuddling, affection, and other forms. In this posting, we should discuss the four bases discussed over. In general, when you come into a marriage, you may have already got some romantic relationship bases that you think are OK.
One of the relationship is build that people in a relationship to develop on can be physical activity. The moment you kiss, you may well be thinking of your partner and are building on a foundation of physical speak to. You may also think of kissing being a approach to test if perhaps he/she enjoys you or not. Sexual activity is actually the past base with your relationship angles. It is what you are before in contact other parts in the body.
The most important relationship basics are friendship, respect, trustworthiness, and intimacy. These are the bases where your romantic relationship is built on, and if a number of of the bases are unsuccessful, you won’t contain true love. Even though sex is actually a base for your relationship, it isn’t true love.
If you like snowboarding metaphors, you probably previously understood that the kiss is a basic for a marriage. So , if you want to create a loving relationship, you have to understand the true angles of a marriage: friendship, admiration, honesty, and physical intimacy. Kissing is a part of the foundation that you build on.
In order to really love someone, you need to be close with them on the deepest level. When you hug, you will be building with your foundation of physical intimacy. You are building on your a friendly relationship relationship. You should know each other well on a variety of levels which causes the area share the deepest higher level of intimacy. Therefore , if you kiss someone you aren’t friends with, you’ll have a friendship relationship.
Alternatively, if you time frame someone that you met by using a Internet dating site or perhaps an online categorized ad, you are have another type of kind of base for your romance.

So , finally, you must understand what the first basic is for the relationship plus the fourth platform may indicate fondling and also kissing.

Therefore , kissing someone without having to be emotionally fastened to them certainly will not work either. Therefore , you will not want to base any type of relationship about physical intimacy alone.

If your product does have a seal and you would like to return it, please notify us via email if you will be returning a product you have purchased (firstname.lastname@example.org) and include images of the sealed product. Provide your invoice number and reason(s) for the return/exchange. Once merchandise has arrived back to us, we will issue a refund minus return shipping cost.

I consider myself a skin care junkie. But I finally caved and bought this one. Exceptionally light. Absorbs right away. I have to say it has made a difference using it with the red light and microcurrent. Skin became smoother and much firmer very fast. About a week. It also plays well with other serums. Layering. Glad I bought it.

Sterling silver will naturally oxidise over time by exposure to air and substances from the skin. To prevent oxidising, never wear your jewellery when in the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, sea or the shower. In case of oxidation, please use specialist jewellery cleaners as directed and appropriate for each piece (see care instructions on the product page). Be careful not to scrub or to over-handle your jewellery.
Jewellery can become scratched when they come into contact with one another. We recommend that you store your piece separately in the accompanied pouch and box when not worn.

By Rob Peters
We’re not very good at waiting – our western culture rather abhors it. And up ’till now, many of Benicia’s families and students have been doing it for months – years, in some cases.
For these days, you can hear certain sounds ripping the air from the families of Benicia’s high school seniors: sighs and gasps, winces and cringes, crying and yelping and OMG’ing and trash-talk a la rap star prima donnas. All these wholesome wails are in service to the thin or slightly bulging (bulging is better) envelopes that come in the mail, announcing whether or not you’ve been fully – or partly – or conditionally – accepted to a college of your interest. Most colleges have been lined up in some sort of priority, numeric system: the first and second choices, the fall – backs, the I’m –desperate-for-someplace choices, the ones-momma-wanted-me-to-apply to, the I’ve -changed-my-mind-I-would-NEVER-go-freaking-there, and the also-rans.

Your kitchen is the heart of your home.
It’s the place you gather, work, share meals and entertain. It’s a focal point of your home and in most cases, the most costly room you have. When you are planning a renovation on a space like a kitchen, finding trends that won’t feel dated quickly is a prudent plan. Investing in quality materials and lasting design while adapting to suit your style and lifestyle can be a big ask. Solid Stone is here to help, and we’ve come up with a list of some of our favourite trends that we think will last as long as our stone.
Increasingly popular in today’s kitchen designs, open shelving offers a place to store your most-used items within easy reach and beautiful display space for your most treasured belongings. Open shelves can make kitchens feel bigger and visibly brighter while providing visual interest beyond what is possible with closed cabinetry.
It’s important when thinking about open shelving to take inventory of what you’d like to display. Not all of your kitchen items will make the cut if you want to keep open shelves looking tidy. Having a place to tuck away plastic containers and those old water bottles is critical if you don’t want your shelves to look cluttered. Thankfully mixing and matching cabinetry and open shelves is also a popular trend. Close off what you don’t want to see, and show off the things you do!
This stable trend has been holding strong for good reason. It’s quickly becoming a timeless look as homeowners have more fun with their spaces. While the choice to use multiple finishes in cabinetry can be practical (your lower cabinets are more likely to suffer damage, so wood or darker finishes will hide minor scratches better) they’re often purely aesthetic. Visually, having more than one finish/style is more interesting than an entire kitchen of matching cabinets, and gives you the opportunity to create different zones and highlight parts of your kitchen.
More and more, homeowners are investing in stone. Both beautiful and durable, stone lives up to the hype. With enough options to suit the style of any kitchen, stone will stand the test of time and with minimal care, will look beautiful for decades. (For more information, check out our Solid Stone 101 post).
From natural stone like granite, quartzite and marble to manufactured stone like quartz and porcelain, every stone has unique characteristics and we can help you find the best stone for you.
When you invest in solid stone countertops, you want to showcase them. One incredible way to showcase the beauty of stone is by matching your backsplash to your countertops. With smart planning, veining that runs through the countertops can continue up the wall for a clean, consistent, modern look. Dramatic veining is a fun way to add visual interest and texture to your kitchen and give your guests something to talk about.
What’s more beautiful than a waterfall? While you might be picturing a misty forest scene, we always think about stone countertops first. A waterfall detail is when the countertop continues over the edge of the cabinetry and down to the floor.
It’s most commonly used on islands, but using a waterfall on wall-mounted cabinetry also produces beautiful results. Similar to matching backsplashes, using a waterfall is a great way to make a statement with the stone you chose.
Matching is nice, but mixing and matching is better. Every space does better with added texture. Combining materials like wood, stone, tile, fabric, masonry, natural fibres, plants, and glass add character and warmth to a space. To make your texture pop even more, use a variety of lighting sources (overhead, pot lighting, task lighting, under-cabinet lighting, etc) to highlight certain areas and features. Start with the cabinets and countertops as a base and layer from there.
No matter what the trends are, building a space you love and want to live in is the most critical step. Take a look at the trends for guidance but don’t be afraid to make your kitchen your own! You know best. If you need help with your stone surfaces, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can show you all the options available and help you find the best one for your space.

Ill Blood – Hardcore fanzine issue #1
It’s not Suffer, Survive, but hey, Ill Blood is a pretty okay record. Okay enough to make people cover songs from the record, make some Belgians put up a fest with that name (would have loved to see that World Collapse show with a girl on vocals!) and now Samuli from Finland put out a fanzine with that name. And I’m probably forgetting tons of other references. (Yes I know it’s the favorite No Warning record of most of you )
Sometimes when you’re on tour you see a zine you would like to read, but simply can’t because it’s in a language you don’t understand. That happened to me when I was in Finland and saw a zine Samuli did. He remembered my interest though, because a year later I got a message if I was interested in his new zine. In English this time.
Ill Blood – Hardcore Fanzine Issue #1 features The Rival Mob, Upright, Foreseen and Green Menace Records. I don’t know about The Rival Mob, but the other 3 are made up of great people, that alone was reason enough for me to pick up this zine.
The zine looks cool. Total copy & paste worship and I liked the interviews. Justin (The Rival Mob) talks about mopping Sam Triple B’s floor and he compares The Rival Mob to a cute teddy bear. Daniel (Green Menace) talks about his XBOX 360, Agent Attitude’s crocodile, him wishing he had an Icelandic wife and stuff like that and he has a GIGANTIC thanks list. Let’s all hope Daniel will never win a proper award or something because he probably will go on forever thanking people. Niko (Yo Niko!) talks about the tour with Said And Done which he says are “good dudes and best of times”, which kinda dissapoints me. Because I thought we were awesome dudes and better than best of times. But hey, it’s okay Niko. We still love you guys (and you too Heini) 😉 Mirko (Foreseen) talks about playing in the basement of a pizza place, singing karaoke at the ferry and wanting to put out records on Roadrunner. So nothing to complain there.
While I do prefer longer and more in-depth interviews myself most of the time, sometimes you just want a short ‘snack’ and this zine is perfect for that. Not every zine has to be Anti-Matter or Law & Order of course. Next time he should check their layout before making copies though, every page is missing parts on the borders of page, it’s not like you’re missing out of any of the conversation, but still… Oh well, stuff like that only leaves room for improvement in future issues. And I hope there will be more. Samuli talks about a second issue featuring Cold World & Eye For All. Send me a message when it’s out Samuli, because I’ll pick it up again!

Friday Cover Up - Lying About Driving Nine Inch Nails Into Thou's Body For Thrills
OK so that title is far too long and punny. Whatever, I'm just glad I can start 2015 with such a killer cover! Portland metal fiends The Body have really shaken the foundations of the music world to the core over the past couple of years - a few friends claiming that their gigs have heartily eradicated all thoughts of "best live acts" before them - and are on the cusp of releasing "collaborative" album (alongside Baton Rouge sludgelords Thou) You, Whom I Have Always Hated (out through Thrill Jockey at the end of the month). First taste off it is this brutally dour take on Nine Inch Nails' 'Terrible Lie'. There is something about the swaying stagger and metallic scree that underpins this that I find both borderline ridiculous, eminently disquieting and extremely exciting. This is the kind of cathartic mess that No Anchor have been blasting out for some time now, albeit with added undead-raising esophageal screams. Now, to hear that Vic Chesnutt cover... Have a twisted weekend!

Great stuff. Total pro! Looking forward to working with Chris again!
Thanks for everything, buddy! Great work!
Chris was super fast to respond and knocked the project out quickly. He provided me with a few different takes and in different playing styles. This is what I was looking for!!! I will call hill for my next project.
I have worked with Chris on two projects now, and he has delivered exactly what I wanted with ease. Super easy to work with, and has a great ear.
Chris is is best! Incredibly talented and creative guitar player!
Chris is a fantastic guitarist, and he has a real talent for finding the perfect part to compliment the song as a whole. I've worked with him several times. Can't wait for the next song!
Chris is insanely talented, a total pro and a great guy. I've worked with him several times and can't wait for the next project.
It was great to work with Chris, he was able to produce this track for me just like how I wanted it to sound.
Chris was a pleasure to work with...very talented guitarist and great guy! He delivered exactly what I asked for and it sounds incredible. I look forward to working with him again!
Chris has been great! Not only is he very talented and tailored the track to my desires, but he also was super down to earth, kind, and communicative.
A total pro. Chris is an insanely talented guitarist, and a great guy. I’ve worked with him on 3 songs so far, and plan on working with him again on my next project.
Second song with Chris, and I am consistently blown away by his incredible guitar work. It added a whole new dimension and complimented the song perfectly! He sent extra tracks so I had different interpretations to choose from. The best!
Fantastic guitarist! He gave my song the burst of energy it needed, and far exceeded my expectations. Chris is very easy to work with I look forward to the next one!
Fantastic guy!!!, a great talent! very very happy!! fast turn around also. Thanks mate!!!!!

Super glad I worked with Chris and i highly recommend to anyone that needs a killer guitarist for their project!
Chris's credits set the bar high from the start, yet he still finds a way to go above and beyond what is expected. Not only did Chris blow me away with what he delivered, but he also made sure to effectively communicate every step of the way, making for one of the smoothest collaborations I've had through Sound better. Chris seems to truly love what he does and that shines through in his work.
Awesome guy to work with!! This guy is so talented and gave me just what I needed for my project! I will definitely work with him on my future projects!
Chris was a pleasure to work with. Super talented guitarist and producer. He's very patient and will work to deliver the exact sound you are looking for. I plan to reach out to Chris on future projects.
Interview with Chris Loocke
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio is constantly evolving. I have Neve, API, and Focusrite, and wa76 compressor. My room is professionally treated. I have 20+ guitars, bass, ukulele, banjo etc. I have midi keyboards, maschine and more. I have enough effects pedals to open a guitar shop! I use Logic Pro X to track and mix records. Yamaha and Auratone 5c monitors. Focusrite Clarett 8pre x interface with great conversion. I am always buying new amps - I have vintage Fender/Marshall/Alamo amps to choose from, as well as modern amps from Morgan and PRS as well as a Kemper Profiling amp. With this setup, I am confident that I can get pretty much any tone needed!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mainly Pop/Rock, Country, Rock, R&B, Singer-Songwriter. Though I've played on many things that are in between.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill with recording guitar is that I play for the song, and not to show off. It takes guitar players years to leave their "egos" at the door. I play what fits in the grand scheme of the production.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have a lot of touring, songwriting, and recording experience. I have developed my ears through listening, and learning from all of these situations. I often hear immediately what I should do when it comes to making a part for your track. I am a great communicator - I strive to understand your vision, and want what I contribute to be the absolute best.

Ring tailed LemurLemur catta
Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Lemuridae
Weight: 5-7.5 lbs lbs
Lifespan (Wild): 16-19 years
Lifespan (Captivity): Up to 30 years
Fruit, nuts and plants
Habitat & Range

- Ring-tailed lemurs are easily recognized by their long black and white ringed tail.
- Ring-tailed lemurs live in social groups known as troops. A troop includes 6 to 30 members and is led by a dominant female.
- Ring-tailed lemurs love to bathe in the sun and are sometimes called “sun worshipers” as they will sit upright with eyes closed and their hands and palms up.
- Male ring-tailed lemurs have scent glands on their wrists. They will rub the scent onto the tip of their tail and flick it at an opponent who will respond with their own display or flee. This is known as a “stink fight”.
Like all lemur species, they are threatened by habitat loss and hunting.

If you thought food and entertainment industry feuds were reserved for people like Gordon Ramsay and his televised Kitchen Showdown, think again.
In an unprecedented move, Flavortown Mayor Guy Fieri has banned the entire cast of “The View” from ever setting foot in any of his dining establishments. According to the bleach-blond culinary giant, the ban is in effect “until further notice.”
The drama began when Fieri, widely known for his TV show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” released a public statement that took everyone by surprise. He announced, “The hosts of ‘The View’ are no longer welcome in Flavortown.” My diners, drive-ins and dives are off limits to them. #View from outside.
While the exact reason for the ban is unclear, one thing is certain – the news has shocked the culinary and entertainment industries alike. This unusual decision left fans and food lovers wondering, “What happened between the good-natured food guru and the famous talk show host?”
Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and their fellow co-hosts were reportedly as surprised as everyone else. In fact, the news came to light when ‘The View’ went on air, sparking a flurry of live reactions. Known for his quick wit, Behar quipped, “Well, I guess I’ll have to cross the ‘Triple D Tour’ off my bucket list.”
It is no wonder that social media has become a huge trend. The hashtags #ViewFromOutside and #Flavortownlockdown dominated Twitter trends. Memes of ‘The View’ host peeking into Fieri’s restaurant from outside flood Instagram. Even LinkedIn could not escape the debate, with food critics and TV executives raising the issue.
Late night comedy hosts never miss an opportunity to crack jokes. “I think the ladies of ‘The View’ will now be getting their view from the sidewalk outside the Guys restaurant,” Jimmy Fallon laughed on ‘The Tonight Show.’
Conspiracy theories began to circulate. Did one of the hosts make an offensive comment about Fieri’s infamous donkey sauce? Was there a secret culinary showdown behind the scenes that went terribly wrong? Or perhaps one of the women beat Fieri to the last bottle of her favorite hot sauce at the local supermarket? Speculation is as wild as Fieri’s distinctive dishes.
While the world is stunned by Fieri’s surprise announcement, one thing is clear — this story adds a spicy layer to the already complicated relationship between the world of gourmet cuisine and Hollywood. The ramifications of this ban can range from ridiculous to serious, affecting future episodes of “The View” and potentially Fieri’s restaurant reviews.
The spicy aroma of curiosity pervades the air as we await the next course in this engrossing tale of TV hosts and taste-testers. Will Fieri lift the ban? Will ‘The View’ hosts apologize, or perhaps retaliate by banning Fieri from his own TV appearances? only time will tell.
For now, the world is watching intently as this delicious saga unfolds, each unexpected twist and turn adding more flavor to an already deliciously scandalous dish. Stay tuned, because this Flavortown feud is getting too dramatic to handle!

The concept of 바카라사이트 came into existence in 1996 when a software development firm named Microgaming came up with this idea. In the same year only, the first online live casino named Inter Casino happened. Most of the online casino sites still make use of this software. The help to carry out the financial transactions was provided by the CryptoLogic, which was an online security firm. Initially, online casinos faced a lot of opposition. But, they could not get closed as bills could not be passed against their setting up.
Online casino 바카라사이트 are a great stress reliever on the other hand, much like video games. The set up is as understandable and amusing as a video game itself.
Alex hasn't published any decks.

SV1000 Big Bore Kit
Available on backorder
While the SV1000 overbore option does add excellent power, it is a bit expensive due to the cost of cylinder boring and re-plating. When you order a big bore kit from us, your cylinder will be completely disassembled, parts inspected for wear and documented. (if items need repair we will contact you first). After disassembly your original plating will be removed chemically to expose the aluminum casting. Then your cylinder will be chemically cleansed and precision-mechanically prepared to the specific size required. Your cylinder will be coated and then diamond honed with the latest honing technology; then match-fit to your new big bore.

It can be stronger than iron, yet fragile as paper. It can be eaten as well as worn. As a source of medicine, it can heal. It cleans the air and makes music in the wind. Now, make room in your closets for the newest in textile plants…bamboo.
In an April, 2008 article, www.naturalnews.com reports that bamboo offers many advantages in clothing, including breathing and wicking properties, elasticity, softness, and absorbability. It also takes up dyes easier, which means less dye needs to be used. It is less coarse than linen, hemp and burlap, which are other plant-based fabrics.
The downside of bamboo, the website reports, is that bamboo is subjected to the same kind of processing procedures as cotton or rayon, which means that strong solvents are required to make it suitable for any textile use.

Spiki is a project of universal language created in 2014 in France by Nicolas Barré:
Designer, I am fascinated by the simplification of the interfaces, easy to learn and to use for everybody. It is that principles which I wanted to apply to Spiki so that it is easy to learn.
Indeed the creation of Spiki ensues from 3 reports:
- The foreign languages are very useful
- They are long and difficult to learn
- It exists of multiple way of simplifying these languages which are not optimized
I think at this simplified project of language since about ten year, inspired by 1984 of George Orwels and the arrival of the SMS language. I take advantage of the development of internet and of the social networks to concretize this project and propose it in the whole world.
I hope that Spiki will improve the links between the peoples and will be useful for many people and institutions (this is my Miss World side).
Join us in the adventure!

About Iccwin Bangladesh
Before moving on to analyze the different kinds of Iccwin bonus offers, a little information about the Iccwin Bangladesh bookmaker needs to be known.
The Iccwin brand has long been known to fans of virtual gambling entertainment in more than 100 countries around the world! Undoubtedly, Bangladesh is on that list as well. The company strives to take online gambling in Bangladesh to a higher level, so it applies advanced information technology in practice to ensure the security of the gambling platform and the safety of user data. There is also a wide variety of sports betting, casino games, table games etc. on the Iccwin website and mobile app. A nice addition to this variety of games is the ability to make an Iccwin bonus bet on sports and play casino games in LIVE format!
As for the legality of the casino in Bangladesh, Iccwin is a fully legal platform. The company is officially licensed by Curacao #365/JAZ and can function in Bangladesh.
What kind of entertainment does Iccwin bookmaker offer? Currently, there is a huge selection of different sports events that are ranked by sports. The main sports are kabaddi, cricket, tennis, football, baseball, cybersports, virtual sports and many other disciplines. In addition, the bookmaker guarantees good odds and timely payouts. To make finding the right sporting event quick and easy, there is a special website navigation system.
The live betting feature has become increasingly popular and highly regarded by punters. This makes the process much more exciting and dynamic, as the odds are constantly changing according to the course of the game. Of course, Iccwin offers users this option. Moreover, players can also watch the championship live from their devices.
The Iccwin website also features a colourful collection of online casino games where players can have fun. The Iccwin casino has Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, several types of Roulette and much more. All of these table games are available in a LIVE format so that players can fully experience the real casino atmosphere. The most popular slots are Thirsty Crow, Africa Run and Bollywood Romance.
There’s no need to worry about the quality of the casino services provided, as the company collaborates with brands such as JILI, Red Tiger, Microgaming, NetEnt and others. This speaks to the high quality of the games, which makes the gambling experience enjoyable and relaxing.
For more convenience, the developers have created a special mobile application Iccwin, but only Android users can Iccwin bonus app download. The functionality of the Iccwin app does not differ in any way from the services provided on the official Iccwin website, winning bets can still be made, quick payouts can be received and lucrative bonus offers can be used! By the way, Iccwin’s promotional offers are always particularly attractive to users, so it’s worth looking into it in more detail.
Iccwin Welcome Bonus for new members
The most generous bonus in online gambling is the welcome bonus. The Iccwin welcome bonus is aimed at attracting new players and increasing their loyalty to the platform. Currently, the Iccwin welcome bonus only applies to casino games, but for sports betting enthusiasts, there are other equally lucrative bonus offers.
A welcome casino bonus is a type of Iccwin deposit bonus, meaning that the bonus can only be activated after making a first deposit. Also, note that the welcome bonus is only available to users who register for the first time on the Iccwin website or mobile Iccwin bonus app. Users cannot claim the bonus again.
Welcome Bonus on casino games
The purpose of the welcome bonus is to increase a player’s first deposit by 50% or 100%. The amount of the welcome bonus will depend on what the player prefers to play. So, there are both regular slots and live dealer games to choose from.
The casino slots Welcome Bonus will increase the player’s first deposit by 100%! To activate the bonus, simply make the first cash payment and Iccwin’s system will automatically double it. The maximum amount that can be received as a gift is 20,000 BDT.
If the user prefers to play live casino Iccwin, then the welcome casino bonus offer for live dealer games is relevant. As soon as a player deposits a cash balance for the first time, Iccwin will instantly add 50% to the first deposit amount. Keep in mind, however, that the Iccwin bonus amount does not exceed BDT 10,000.
The player must always remember that any bonus has specific wagering conditions. Therefore, the welcome bonus Iccwin (whether it is slots or live casino) must be wagered 25 times within 30 calendar days, from the date of activation of the bonus. And only after the conditions are fully met, it will be possible to withdraw the winnings.
How to register at Iccwin BD
As noted earlier, there are just two simple things required to claim the welcome bonus: register online or in the Iccwin mobile app and make the first deposit. A step-by-step breakdown of the registration and verification process for new users is shown below:
Step 1: Use any convenient browser to go to the official Iccwin Bangladesh website;
Step 2: On the top bar in the right-hand corner, find the orange Sign Up button;
Step 3: Next, enter the user’s first and last name, come up with a strong password and provide an email address or mobile phone number;
Step 4: Then choose the currency that the user will use for payment;
Step 5: Enter the Iccwin bonus code, if you have one;
Step 6: Read the Iccwin platform Terms and Conditions carefully and put a consent sign next to it;
Step 7: Click on the join now button.
This concludes the process of registering as a new user. Next, to fully use all the features of the Iccwin platform, it is necessary to go through additional data validation. This will not take long.
Step 1: In the user details section, choose the Verify function;
Step 2: Next, take a picture of any form of identification (passport, driving licence, bank statement or even a utility bill);
Step 3: To speed up the verification process, it is necessary to provide clear and vivid photos;
Step 4: Send a request for account verification.
Once the verification has been completed, the user will be notified by email.
Payment Methods at Iccwin
The second important prerequisite for activating the bonus is making a deposit. This easy process raises a lot of questions for users, as it is directly linked to real money. So, read carefully:
Step 1: On the official Iccwin Bangladesh website, select the Payment section;
Step 2: Select the Replenish option and decide on a convenient payment system;
Step 3: Enter the amount you want to credit to your Iccwin account;
Step 4: Enter all the necessary payment details;
Step 5: Wait until the cash transaction is completed.
Keep in mind that the minimum Iccwin deposit bonus a user can make is 500 BDT and the waiting time to complete the transaction depends only on the payment method selected. Current payment methods for Bangladesh include:
- Bank Deposit;
There is no limit to the maximum amount that can be deposited and there are no additional transaction fees.
Iccwin Sports Bonus
Betting on sports together with your friends is always fun. For all sports betting enthusiasts, Iccwin offers a special sports bonus that can be activated by simply inviting a friend to play. This way, both the player and the new active user will get an extra 200 BDT. In order to invite a user to the game and activate the Iccwin bonus it is necessary:
Step 1: Copy the referral link on Iccwin in the personal account and share it with a friend;
Step 2: After registering through this link, the new user must deposit more than 1,500 BDT;
Step 3: The new player must make bets of 5,000 BDT or more;
Step 4: As soon as this condition is met, both players will receive 200 BDT as a gift.
To withdraw Iccwin bonus money, the bonus must be wagered within 30 calendar days of activating the bonus offer: wager 10 times the amount of bonus money. Invite more friends and get more money!
Iccwin Deposit Bonus
Often bookmakers offer a deposit bonus as a welcome offer, but Iccwin is pushing the boundaries of the promotion and offers to increase any deposit a user makes! To do so, simply deposit more than 500 BDT into the money account. The Iccwin system will then automatically check all the details and credit the player’s account with 1,500 BDT. Users can only take advantage of this offer once, and the bonus amount is fixed and does not depend on the amount deposited. Players must wager x25 within 30 calendar days of the promotion’s activation to make the withdrawal of Iccwin bonuses possible.
Iccwin weekly cashback
No luck with the betting? No problem. Every Monday, bookmaker Iccwin offers 5% cashback on all losses incurred during the week. This cashback is activated every week on Mondays and does not have any specific wagering requirements. The only existing restriction is that the maximum amount of the cashback does not exceed 500,000 BDT. This promotion is only available to Iccwin VIP customers.
Occasionally, users may have some questions, both regarding the general Iccwin platform operation and specifically, the bonus offers section. For example, difficulties with registration or verification of user accounts, errors when depositing money, inability to activate a bonus or withdraw the bonus money, etc. In case of such mishaps, there is a special support team at Iccwin, which is available 24/7 and will promptly resolve any issues with the website or mobile app. The support team can be contacted via:
- Email – email@example.com;
- Online chat on the Iccwin Bangladesh website;
- FAQ section on the official Iccwin website.
In addition, the Iccwin betting company can also be found on social networks Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Telegram. The response from the Iccwin support team depends on the number of incoming messages and may take from a couple of hours to a day.
So, having studied in detail all the features of the bonuses provided, it can be concluded that Iccwin bonuses are a lucrative cash offer that you should take advantage of. It is only necessary to remember the specific conditions for receiving and wagering the bonus money, which are different for each offer. This information can be found in the instructions on the official Iccwin Bangladesh website in the Promotions section.

Preschool board meetings are an essential part of running a successful preschool program. They provide an opportunity for board members to discuss important issues, make decisions, and plan for the future. In order to maximize the effectiveness of these meetings,
It is important to ensure that all board members are well-prepared and informed ahead of time. This can be done by providing them with a detailed agenda, as well as any necessary background information or documents. Additionally, it is important to set realistic timeframes for each item on the agenda, allowing for sufficient discussion and debate. Finally, it is also important to assign tasks and deadlines to ensure that any decisions made at the meeting are followed up on in a timely manner. When these steps are taken, board meetings can be an effective way of ensuring the success of a preschool program.it’s important to implement strategies that promote collaboration, communication, and productivity. Here are 10 steps to help ensure that your preschool board meetings are successful and productive.
Step 1: Establish a Clear Agenda
No Surprises Rule
It’s crucial to have a clear agenda for each board meeting. This means that all board members should be aware of the topics to be discussed and any major decisions that need to be made. Surprises should be avoided at all costs, as they can lead to confusion and disorganization. The agenda should be sent out at least one week before the meeting, allowing board members enough time to review and prepare for the discussion.
Regular Agenda Items
Each meeting should have a set of regular agenda items that cover the essential aspects of running a preschool, such as budgeting, staffing, and upcoming events. These items should be discussed at every meeting to ensure consistency and transparency in decision-making.
Step 2: Keep Meetings on Track and on Time
Time management is a critical aspect of successful board meetings. It’s important to stick to the agenda and address all items within the allotted time frame. If discussions veer off course or take up too much time, consider tabling the issue for future discussion or scheduling an additional meeting to address the concern.
Step 3: Encourage Board Member Participation
Name Tags and Acronym Charts
To facilitate communication and collaboration, it’s important to create an environment where all board members feel comfortable participating. Providing name tags for everyone at each meeting can help eliminate awkwardness and encourage conversation. Additionally, posting a chart of frequently used acronyms on the wall can help ensure that everyone is on the same page during discussions.
Make an effort to include every board member in the conversation during meetings. Encourage input and opinions from all members, especially those who may be less vocal. This can lead to more diverse perspectives and better decision-making.
Step 4: Minimize One-Way Presentations
While it’s important for staff members to provide updates and reports to the board, these presentations should be kept to a minimum during meetings. Instead, consider providing written reports in the board packet and only discussing key points during the meeting. This helps keep the focus on collaboration and decision-making rather than passive information consumption.
Step 5: Focus on Actionable Items
Board meetings should primarily focus on actionable items that require input and decision-making from the board. If a committee has completed work or an issue has been resolved, include the report in the board packet and recognize the committee’s efforts during the meeting. This helps keep meetings focused and efficient.
Step 6: Allow Time for Open-Ended Discussions
It’s important to leave time during meetings for open-ended discussions on pressing issues facing the preschool. These discussions can provide valuable insights and help the board make informed decisions.
Step 7: Foster a Culture of Respectful Disagreement
Encourage board members to ask questions and express dissenting opinions during meetings. This can lead to more robust discussions and ultimately better decision-making. However, it’s important to maintain a respectful and professional atmosphere during these discussions.
Step 8: Recap Discussions and Decisions
At the end of each meeting, take time to recap the decisions made and any action items assigned to board members. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and understands their responsibilities moving forward.
Step 9: Follow Up After Meetings
Within 24 to 48 hours of the meeting, send out a follow-up email or letter to all board members. This communication should thank them for their participation, recap any decisions made or action items assigned, and express appreciation for their commitment to the preschool program.
Step 10: Create a Comfortable Meeting Environment
Finally, it’s important to make sure that the meeting environment is comfortable and conducive to productive discussions. Ensure that the room is not too hot or cold, provide beverages and snacks, and consider the seating arrangement to promote collaboration.
By implementing these 10 steps, you can help your preschool board meetings become successful, productive, and lead to better decision-making for your program. Remember that consistent communication, collaboration, and a focus on actionable items are key components of effective board meetings.

The majority of the rules applied to payments are established by the casino sites. Although free games are by no means boring, they won’t get your juices flowing like real money online casino games. Your first challenge will be locating the games that you enjoy. In this way, they will readily attend to your problems and render easy service. Of course, these service providers also contribute to the economy through taxes.- Taxes and license fees. In most cases, Canadian gamblers online are not expected to pay taxes on whatever they win until the sum of the winnings exceeds the set limit. This site was opened in 2020, and its international gambling license is by the Kahnawake Gambling Commission, which is the best option for Canadian gamblers online.
Canadian dollar online casino bonuses are among the most powerful attractions for most web casino gamblers in Canada. The most popular methods for depositing and withdrawing are as follows:- Visa/Mastercard – supports deposits and withdrawals, the transaction limits are flexible, offered by many casino platforms- Paysafecard – is available for depositing and withdrawing, many online casinos in Canada offer it, but may not be convenient for certain Canadian provinces- Neosurf – convenient and safe for deposits, but withdrawals are impossible. Also, all 바카라게임사이트 citizens and tourists can play at land-based facilities only if the facilities are licensed by the relevant local authorities. Canadian players can make their deposits and withdrawals via the following banking methods: Visa, Interac, MuchBetter, ecoPayz, CoinsPaid, Neosurf, Instadebit, iDebit, bank transfer.
As many people already know, one of the greatest aspects of online gambling is the convenience that they offer players. It is a little-known fact that many poker websites offer the facility of arranging a private tournament, much like a private poker table. While some casinos offer thousands of slot machines, many are old and incompatible with several devices. While there are a few different reasons for this ruling, the primary impetus was that of the Tenth Amendment-which grants the individual states the right to decide upon laws that are not specifically conferred upon the Federal Government by way of the Constitution. Next, there is an exclusion for professional gamblers – for example, poker players – who make a living by playing casino games.

An Interview with SS Turner
How did you do your research for writing The Connection Game?
The Connection Game is set in a basement flat below street level in London. The flat’s one and only source of daylight is a minuscule window through which the flat’s inhabitants can only see the passing feet on the street above. Would you believe my research was actually living in a similar flat for a couple of years when I lived in London? I foolishly chose to live in that dark basement flat as a means of saving rent in London’s famously expensive property market. I soon regretted that decision! Living in darkness sure wasn’t worth the money I saved.
Hard as it was, living in that basement flat provided a remarkable opportunity to research the life the Basilworths were to have when they came to literary life in all their glory. I’ll never forget standing on tippy toes soon after moving into that flat and staring at the passing feet on the street above. Just as Benny Basilworth experiences in The Connection Game, I was transfixed by the hypnotic motion of the passing feet. And in that moment the idea for the novel was born. The question I wanted the novel to answer was: what would happen to a family who live in a dark basement flat if they become obsessed with analyzing the human race from a disconnected place hidden in the shadows? I knew the answer wouldn’t be boring, but even I was surprised by the direction The Connection Game heads.
What made you write a book about a genius who can solve any puzzle?
As you say, the protagonist in the novel, Benny Basilworth, is a bone fide genius. He was described by The Chrysalis Brew Project in their critic’s review of the novel as “One nuanced character… a genius. He sees the world from a completely different perspective than us.”
By creating a main character who’s a genius, I was able to explore the vast difference between intellectual excellence and emotional wellbeing. Benny Basilworth’s mental powers appear to be a gift for him at the start of the novel. At that point, he wins a gameshow billed as “the world’s hardest gameshow” and he’s excelling in his career as a computer programmer. However, when the Basilworths lose everything and are forced to move into welfare housing, it starts to become clear that Benny’s life-path is any but easy. Being a genius is anything but easy. It’s a fascinating theme the novel explores in more depth as it progresses.
What advice would you give budding writers?
In my experience, developing your writing skills is like going to the gym. If you want to significantly improve your writing fitness, it’s worth focusing on all the aspects of your writing workout plan, a bit like a fit person works on their strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Writing strength comes from writing and reading every day. This muscle needs to be worked out regularly for it to develop to its full potential.
Writing endurance comes from achieving a minimum word count every day—Stephen King swears by 2000 words a day. Who am I to argue with Stephen?
And writing flexibility comes from consistently editing your own work which improves your technical writing skills no end. It’s the equivalent of a daily stretching class.
By working on all aspects of your writing fitness, the potential for improvement is immense.
Do you ever get writer’s block? What helps you overcome it?
Thankfully, I rarely get writer’s block. When it does happen, it’s usually a sign I need a good night’s sleep. That almost always gets me back on track with my writing the next day. The other strategy I sometimes use is to take a break from my writing by going for a run at the beach. Physical exercise is a great way to relax the mind and come back to your writing feeling refreshed… and unblocked.
Do you write every day?
Yes, I generally write every day. When I do, I notice my writing skills get incrementally better each year. The way I gauge my writing improvement is through simplicity of language, succinctness of words used, richness of imagery, and the readers’ emotional response. The more you write, the more natural it becomes to excel in all these areas.
Favourite travel spot?
I’ve always felt a strong connection to Iceland for some mysterious reason. I travelled to Iceland about twenty years ago when I was footloose and fancy free as a younger person. At the time, I joined a group of farmers for Iceland’s annual sheep round-up in the mountains. Two weeks of riding on horseback though the beautiful Icelandic countryside was an unforgettable experience which has ranked as one of my favourite travel experiences ever since.
What’s the most courageous thing you’ve ever done?
Becoming a father. No words can prepare you for what’s to come when you become a parent. It’s amazing, fun, uplifting, exhausting, and challenging all in one. And to be a good father means being courageous every single day. Courageous enough to be emotionally present for your children. Courageous enough to address your own challenges so they don’t inhibit you from being the parent you want to be. And courageous enough to embrace all the changes that come with being a parent (there are many!).
Which was the hardest character to write in The Connection Game?
The hardest character to write in The Connection Game was Will, the son in the Basilworth family. Will was hard to write because he lives in the shadows of his father’s brilliance while he also worships him on occasion. This tension at the heart of Will’s character was challenging to get right because his character evolves dramatically as the story progresses.
And the easiest?
The easiest character to write was the protagonist Benny Basilworth because I had such a clear picture in mind for Benny and his journey. I found Benny a fascinating character to create from a psychological perspective. His father never loved him or showed him any affection. In fact, the only time his father ever praised him was when he won prizes and awards. As a result, Benny learnt at a young age that his only value in the world was through his mental abilities. So that’s all Benny focused upon developing. I think there are many people like Benny Basilworth in the world today, particularly men who don’t invest in their own emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Benny’s story is the story of where this pathway can lead when it’s untethered to emotional health.
Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
I often find my best ideas jump into my head when I’m jogging at the beach, relaxing, or falling asleep at night. They’re the moments when my sub-conscious is most generous in sharing story ideas with my conscious mind. Where my subconscious comes up with this stuff is more opaque. Who knows where stories really come from?
The Connection Game is set in London. Have you ever been there?
Yes, I lived in London for a decade so writing about it as the setting for The Connection Game was a natural experience for me. I had a great time living in London and grew to love its diversity, variety, beauty, and vibrancy. When I wrote The Connection Game, I felt like I was back there, reliving London from the unique perspective of the Basilworth family. It was a more urgent, suspenseful experience of the city than my own. I loved it.
In The Connection Game, you wrote about a family that becomes obsessed with watching passing feet on the street above. How did you come up with this unique idea?
I lived in London for a decade of my life. When I first arrived there I was somewhat shocked by how expensive rents were, so I made the contentious decision of saving rent by living in a dark basement flat. What a mistake it was! But it wasn’t all bad news. I got to experience what it was like to only have a view of the passing feet on the street above. And that that’s where the idea of a family who’s obsessed with watching passing feet came from. So I suppose I owe a thanks to that cold dark flat below street level for inspiring The Connection Game.
There are many books out there… What makes The Connection Game different?
Most readers and reviewers describe my writing as unique, but that’s a dime a dozen comment these days. There are so many unique writers in the world that the concept of unique has lost its uniqueness.
I think what makes my writing truly different is that it challenges the readers’ perception of reality. By the end of The Connection Game, many readers are seeing the world from a different perspective compared to when they started reading the novel.
What’s your next project?
I’m working on my third novel which is currently untitled.
It’s the story of Will Watson, a British man who’s been dumped by his girlfriend and fired from his job. Things aren’t going his way. The only good thing in Will’s life is his golden retriever Mia who adores him. Then one day, Will receives a rare piece of good news. He wins a raffle ticket to attend the Make Australia Green Again Music Festival in Maleny, Queensland. It’s a dream come true and the chance to find the home he’s always dreamt of. So Will jumps at the opportunity. However, when he arrives in Australia he discovers a backward society where he’s regarded as unemployable and unfriendable. He soon realizes his new life is worse than the one he escaped from. But he must stay in Australia as he can’t afford the airfare back to the UK. After an extensive job search, the only job he’s offered is as a rubbish collector for an unethical company. Will accepts the job which provides him a unique view of the corrupt community he’s living in.
Just as he’s starting to adapt to his challenging new existence, Will receives the worst news of his life: Mia has cancer and only has months to live. Will feels like his time is running out as Mia’s is because he views her as the best part of him. He wants to ask her so many questions while he still can as he’s certain she’s the only one with the answers… Where is home for him? Why are the locals acting so strange? How can anyone live a meaningful life in the modern world? So he enlists the help of Miranda Minsky, a pet whisperer, to communicate with Mia while there’s time left to learn the truth.
What Will learns about himself shocks him. And what he discovers about the community he’s living in leads to an unforgettable showdown with a town which has lost its way.
Is there a specific ritualistic thing you do during your writing time?
Yes. I love music and always listen to it when I’m writing. As the music geek I am, I even match the music to the vibe of the scene I’m writing. For example, if I’m writing a mysterious scene with a lot going on beneath the surface, I’ll often listen to Max Richter’s beautifully enigmatic music. And if I’m after something a little more energetic, I’ll often turn up Of Monsters and Men to get my creative juices flowing. Listening to great music when I’m writing definitely helps me get into the creative flow.
If you were stuck on a deserted island, which 3 books would you want with you?
I’d take with me:
- Life of Pi because I love the way the story provides alternative yet compelling views of the same reality,
- The Catcher in the Rye for its uniquely honest vision of the thoughts running through the narrator’s head, and
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because it’s like a time machine which allows readers to experience life in an earlier, simpler time in all its glory.
We live on a few acres in the countryside so I’ve become a gardener by choice and necessity. These days, I can often be found cutting, pruning and weeding. When I was younger I couldn’t think of anything less exciting than gardening, but I’ve been surprised by how interesting it is. I’ll often come face to face with a fascinating creature like a python or a bandicoot. It’s like meeting a species from another planet. The other day, a four-meter python crawled inside our gardening shed for a nap. At first, I didn’t notice him when I walked in so it was quite a shock when I inadvertently touched his enormous tail. It was an unforgettable moment care of the natural world.
How long have you been writing?
I’ve been writing all my life. Back in school, I remember my English teacher telling me I was a natural writer and that I should consider it as a career option. However, for the next couple of decades I wrote only for myself and had no intention of pursuing publication. During that time, I viewed writing as a wonderful tool to help me make sense of the world, to help me cope with life’s challenges, and to enable me to laugh about life. Then, a few years ago I just knew it was the right time for me to become more serious about my writing. So I sat down and wrote my first novel, Secrets of a River Swimmer, which was published last year. I haven’t looked back. Becoming a writer is like recognizing the face looking back at you in the mirror.
What genre do you write and why?
I write literary fiction. It’s a great match for me as it’s the least formulaic, most creative fiction genre. One of the aspects I love most about writing literary fiction is the potential to create unique worlds which challenge readers to open their minds in ways they’d never have imagined. It’s the writing equivalent of skiing off-piste.
If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I’m fascinated by the sixties. It sounded like such a fun time to be a young person open to new experiences. So if I could go back in time, I’d be a young person in the sixties. I’d like to attend a Beatles concert while I was there.
What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you?
I’ll never forget my first day in one of my jobs I worked at during my time in London.
After arriving in the office, I was asked to join a meeting with the entire company as the management team wanted to welcome me. So I showed up at this meeting and was told to sit up the front so I could make a short introductory speech. Anyway, the management team did a lovely introduction to the room of one hundred of my new colleagues as I sat up the front and listened. While they spoke, I glanced downwards and made the horrifying discovery that my fly was open. Worse than that, my white shirt was sticking out of my open fly, making me look like a homeless person who’d never dressed professionally before. It was clear my fashion faux pas had been noticed as sniggers could be heard all around the room. Embarrassed beyond belief, I leant forward and tried to fix the situation. However, my attempt at a swift fly pull-up manoeuvre backfired royally. My new colleagues witnessed me wrestling with my fly and protruding shirt for longer than any of us would have liked.

Devotion to the Divine Mercy involves a total commitment to God as Mercy. It is a decision to trust completely in Him, to accept His mercy with thanksgiving, and to be merciful as He is merciful.
Come and join us in this devotion every Wednesday after the evening 6.15pm mass in the Church. In May and Oct it is after the Rosary.
God is Love and His is the Kingdom of Love.
God is merciful to us, and forgives us because of His self-emptying Love for us.
The devotion to the Divine Mercy is all about the immense forgiving love of God for us, and His great longing to see us back in His arms. We closed our doors to him and his love through our sins. Jesus paid the highest ransom for us through His blood to set us free once again. This goes all the way back to Calvary, when the soldier pierced Jesus with a lance and blood and water gushed out and He gave us His all.
The special mission of invoking the Divine Mercy in atonement for our sins was given to an obscure, uneducated Polish nun – St Faustina. Pope John Paul the II (often referred to as the Mercy Pope), instituted the Feast of the Divine Mercy on the following Sunday after Easter. He encouraged this devotion greatly. The extraordinary and overwhelming response of the people to the Divine Mercy Devotion points out, that now is the time for mercy.
Here are some aspects of the Divine Mercy Devotion:
- Veneration of the picture with the signature ‘Jesus I trust in you.’
- The significance of the prayer at the hour of grace at 3 pm (the time Jesus died on the cross for us).
- The chaplet and the promises Jesus attached to it.
- Works of mercy: Faith without action is useless. Therefore we are called to do corporal and spiritual works of mercy along with the devotion
- A picture is worth more than a thousand words. The sacred Image has many mystical symbolisms, which helps us to focus on God and his mercy and to go to God in trust.
- Jesus has stored great promises on this devotion. We can understand the magnitude when he says, “Even if a hardened sinner recites the Chaplet with a contrite heart, he will receive the graces of conversion”.
- ABC’s of Mercy: Ask for mercy; Be merciful; and Complete Trust in Jesus
“Be merciful as your Father is merciful” (Lk 6:36). Jesus taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that he is also called “to practice mercy” towards others.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Mt 5:7). Man attains to the merciful love of God. His mercy is to the extent that he himself is interiorly transformed in the Spirit of that Love towards his neighbour.

The lottery is a form of gambling that involves people buying a ticket for a chance to win a prize, usually money. It is popular in many countries. Many state governments run lotteries, but the private sector also runs a lot of them. The most common type of lottery is a financial lottery, where players pay to enter and then hope their numbers match those randomly drawn by a machine. This kind of lottery is criticized for being addictive, and for promoting unhealthy gambling habits. Other kinds of lotteries award prizes for things such as units in a housing project, kindergarten placement, or sports tickets.
While the casting of lots to determine fates or distribute goods has a long history (it is described in several places in the Bible) the lottery as an instrument of public policy is of more recent origin, dating at least to the 16th century. Various towns in the Low Countries started lotteries to raise funds for town fortifications, and records of prizes distributed by lot are found in the city archives of Ghent, Bruges, and other towns. By the 17th century, lotteries were being used in colonial America to finance projects such as paving streets and building wharves, and Benjamin Franklin sponsored a lottery to raise funds for cannons to defend Philadelphia against the British.
Modern state lotteries are run like businesses, and their advertising necessarily focuses on persuading targeted groups to spend money on the games. This raises questions about whether the promotion of gambling is an appropriate function for the government, and whether it may be contributing to problems such as poverty and problem gambling. The large jackpots that lottery ads proclaim are another reason for concern. They give the appearance of a massive windfall, and encourage people to buy more tickets. This in turn drives the jackpot up to even more eye-catching levels, and the cycle continues.
Despite their criticism of the practice, some scholars have defended the use of lotteries as a painless way to increase tax revenue without directly raising taxes. The fact that lottery revenues continue to grow despite the economic challenges of recent years is evidence in support of this argument.
However, some researchers have argued that the popularity of the lottery is not related to the overall fiscal health of a state government, and that it is instead based on a perception that the proceeds benefit a specific public good, such as education. They note that states can draw on this argument to sustain a lottery even in times of relatively robust financial health, and they are often able to convince voters to approve the lottery even when the state is not experiencing any significant fiscal challenges. However, this reasoning does not hold up to careful analysis. It does not take into account the ways in which lottery promotion undermines these arguments, and it fails to address the fundamental issue that a state running a lottery is at cross-purposes with its public policies.

It’s hard to remember a time when a person’s online presence wasn’t factored into other people’s ideas of who you are. Turns out, it wasn’t very long ago. In 2006, only 11% of employers were combing through potential job candidates social media profiles. Jump-start to 2018, where nearly 70% of employers are auditing job candidates from their social profiles.
These statistics are representative of a growing digital culture shift where online research is becoming common practice in most aspects of everyday life.
Take for Example:
- Dating – Over 48% of women research the person before their first date.
- Making a doctor’s appointment – 77% of patients use online reviews as their first step in finding a new doctor.
- Online purchases – 90% of consumers read online reviews before visiting or buying from a business.
- New Job Searches – 73% of millennials found their last position through a social media site.
With so many online factors influencing everyday decision making, online reputation management is becoming a necessary and critical aspect of how people and businesses present themselves.
We sat down with Status Labs’ own Arianne Smola to discuss the current landscape of Online Reputation management in 2018.
How would you define online reputation management?
Online Reputation Management, to me, means presenting the best possible representation of yourself or your brand online. This means you have to be aware of the size and sentiment of your audience online. The first part is education. Google yourself… I’ll wait….
Now, think about how future business partners, clients, friends, or dates (?!) would feel about what they find about you online. Is there perhaps other information you’d prefer to populate that search?
What should someone do if they are in full reputation crisis mode?
Do not to rush into impulsive action in these situations. Remember that your audience is waiting for your response, and the actions you take now are going to define you publicly for a little while. It’s important to make the appropriate reparations. If you are experiencing backlash online, find an Online Reputation Management partner (like Status Labs), we are here to help.
What is the most common misconception about reputation management?
I think there are two major misconceptions; first that things can be “removed from the internet”, and second, that Online Reputation Management services begin and end with creating a lot of profiles, and generating content. While that is an important aspect of a much larger scope of work, simply creating content without promoting it through Search Engine Optimization, is going to do little to affect your reputation online.
How much time does it take to fix a damaged reputation?
It takes time. There is no quick fix for a reputation threat. For most of our clients, it takes 6-12 months to achieve a clean page one. We frame success around clearing page one because ~95% of people never continue on to page two of search results. Often times, once it becomes part of your practice, reputation management services are ongoing. You want to provide the best information to your clients, business partners, friends etc. Once we have fixed a damaged reputation, our client partnerships often continue with other related services; Public Relations, SEO, Facebook Marketing… We want to help you continue to grow and thrive!
How has new media influenced reputation management?
There are so many opportunities to build up your reputation online. Own your social accounts, engage with others in your industry, be a thought leader!
On the other hand, there are a lot of opportunities for the haters out there. Consumers hold so much power now! Make sure you are aware of how your clients and partners are talking about you online. If you aren’t happy with what you see, go about making some changes internally, and then reflect that with how you present yourself to the public and online.
Is there any benefit to working with an ORM company if someone does not have negative search results?
Of course! That’s another big misconception in our industry. If you aren’t putting yourself out there, you are missing out on a lot of opportunities. I often hear “he or she, or that company, likes to keep a low profile”. There is no benefit to keeping a low profile online. You will either a) end up having a crisis and won’t be prepared for how to deal with it or b) miss out on opportunities and growth that would otherwise have been available to you, had you made yourself better understood by your stakeholders.
How much control can a person really have over their reputation?
So much control! Individuals, most often, are the people who are unaware of the magnitude of their audience online – i.e. one of our clients didn’t know their name was being searched hundreds of times a month until he spoke with us and learned about search volume! Use that to your advantage. You have people who are looking to learn about you, so give them good information. Otherwise, they will go elsewhere for it. Wouldn’t you rather be the one who dictates your personal narrative?
What is the first piece of advice you would give a client interested in reputation management?
Know your goals. The world of reputation management is vast and clients are always surprised by the extent of our services and the reach our work is able to have. The more information you give us, the better we can tailor our campaign to fit your needs and goals.
Where do you see reputation management heading in the next five years?
In the next five years, we expect to see huge growth in the reputation management space. The need for reputation management services will become more widespread as people increasingly spend more time online at home and at work. Who you are perceived to be by the public is going to continue to be dictated by online research.
How can a company benefit from working with an ORM Specialist?
Companies benefit from our services because we fully integrate ourselves with their existing marketing and public relations structure. In partnering with companies, we handle the responsibility of protecting corporate (and corporate executives’) identity online. Companies love working with us because we are able to consult on ORM best practices and amplify the work they are already doing in their respective marketing and PR functions, making their efforts more visible and impactful to their online audience. Status Labs is unique in our industry in that we are a full service firm! Our clients appreciate coupling ORM with our other service offerings for a more integrated approach to reputation strategy.

The Steelers hosted five defensive linemen for workouts on Tuesday following the news that Cam Heyward will miss an extended period with a groin injury. Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston reported that the Steelers hosted Jacob Slade, Phil Hoskins, Spencer Waege, Taylor Stallworth, and Terrance Lang for workouts.
Slade came out in the 2023 NFL Draft and signed as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. A four-year contributor in East Lansing, Slade racked up four sacks, 86 tackles, and 11.5 tackles for loss over his career. Known as a quality run stuffer, Slade earned several guarantees from the Cardinals when signing after the draft but was released following cut-downs. A solid athlete, Slade primarily played as a shade in college.
Hoskins came into the NFL in 2021 when the Carolina Panthers drafted him in the seventh round out of Kentucky. He spent a full year with the team before being released in 2022, joining the Kansas City Chiefs. Hoskins was waived in August. He has six tackles and one sack in his NFL career thus far. A big lineman, Hoskins can play somewhat up and down the defensive line, but primarily plays as shade.
Waege is a rookie out of North Dakota State. He signed the 49ers as an undrafted free agent but got the short end of the stick during final cut-downs. During his time with the Bison, he earned FCS All-American honors twice while posting 10.5 sacks over his career. Waege played some special teams but is lighter than the previous two, projecting as a 5-technique in Pittsburgh.
Stallworth is a veteran defensive tackle who went undrafted out of South Carolina in 2018. Since then, he has spent most recently in New Orleans, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Houston, and Carolina. The Panthers released Stallworth from their practice squad to make room for former Steelers defensive lineman Chris Wormley. In his career, Stallworth posted 4.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries, with a career-high three sacks coming in 2021 with the Colts.
Meanwhile, Lang comes out of Colorado and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of the 2023 NFL Draft. Lang, a five-year contributor in Boulder, posted 8.5 sacks as a true defensive end. A longer player, Lang measured with 34 3/4-inch arms at Colorado’s pro day.
In addition to the five defensive linemen, the Steelers hosted three wide receivers. Jacob Copeland, Isaiah Coulter, and Deuce Watts came in for workouts. Former Eagles linebacker Kyron Johnson visited. Pittsburgh signed Copeland, signaling the other two receivers are unlikely to be signed to contracts.

Day 9 of our cruise, so it must be Hobart, internationally famous among the yachting community as the finish of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race which starts in Sydney Boxing Day.
Hobart is the state capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania (pop 212,000). Founded in 1804 as a penal colony, it is Australia’s second oldest capital city after Sydney. The skyline is dominated by Mt. Wellington at 1,271 metres, which has its own ecosystem and plays a large part in determining the local weather.
The highlight today was our guided tour that took in the Bonorong Wildlife Park, a sanctuary for orphaned or injured native wildlife. We mingled with (and fed) the many kangaroos that populated the grassy areas, and saw – close-up – koalas, wombats, possums, and the famous Tasmanian Devils.
From there we travelled to the historic village of Richmond, which could have been mistaken for any small Cotswold village, with its Georgian architecture, galleries, cafés and boutiques. The chocolate-box scene was completed by a beautiful sandstone bridge that crossed the river that lazily meandered through the village. A perfect place to settle if you enjoy small-village life, and glorious weather all year round – what more could you ask for!
Our day was rounded off with a taste of the wide variety of fresh seafood at Mure’s restaurant overlooking the harbour, where we slightly over-indulged ourselves with local mussels, oysters, crayfish and squid.
Out of all the places we’ve visited so far, Hobart is by far our favourite, and I’d quite happily up-sticks and move here permanently – given the chance!

A Tasmanian Devil – of course!
Ahhh, a cuddly Koala
The seafood arrives at Mures!

We are proud to feature our very own Stacy Chen and Nate Hoey, as The Oppy’s Prom Queen and King. Keep your eyes peeled for these cuties on Thursday.
Up first is our VP of Relations, Stacy Chen.
Stacy is an MBA2 student and has had an extensive career working in media at ABC and NBC before coming to Stern. However, we would argue that her work at The Oppy has been the most formative for her, professionally and personally. Right, Stace? Joking aside, Stacy is a force to be reckoned with. Not only did she create the B-School Newspaper Coalition with the most prestigious MBA programs in the U.S., but she is constantly thinking of and having important conversations to make The Oppy as inclusive as possible. She connects us with different clubs at Stern and people in the community to make sure we represent as many voices as possible. She is kind, she is accepting, and she has an appetite to make this world a better place. But also, she is a hell of a lot of fun.
Next, we have our MBA2 Managing Editor, Nate Hoey.
Nate is also an MBA2 student, who casually has a background in physics and engineering. I mean, don’t we all? He pivoted into finance at Stern (same, Nate, same) and will be working at Amazon when he graduates in the Finance Leadership Development Program. Poor Nate did not know what was in store for himself when he tepidly attended an Oppy kickoff session. However, we know talent. So, we snatched him faster than you can snatch that first drink at Beer Blast. Sorry Nate, you’re stuck with us.
