Give us this day our daily bread:

A short history of an international food staple

Give us this day our daily bread:

Food Facts

Where: From a 5000 year old Egyptian slave’s misdemeanor to 1000’s of variations around the world from sweet and light to dense and nutritious
Serving Suggestion: Most breads taste at their best served warm, straight from the oven with just butter.

Although there’s hundreds of different types of bread and bread-making traditions throughout the world, virtually every variety is a nutritional, inexpensive and versatile food. As popular in times of poverty as it is in times of plenty, bread is a universal staple.

Origins of Bread

According to ancient legend, the first loaf of bread was baked accidentally by an Egyptian slave in about 2600 BC. The slave was making traditional flour and water wafers, but he fell asleep and didn’t notice that the fire had gone out before his thin, hard little cakes were baked. The dough rose overnight and in the morning the slave was delighted to discover that he’d made a much tastier meal than he’d meant to. Bread became so popular amongst the ancient Egyptians that they used to bury bread with their departed loved ones, to sustain them on their long journey to the afterlife.

In other cultures, too, bread has had important ideological connotations. Muslims used to believe that bread was a gift from Allah, and it was not allowed to be sold, but only given away. Even today bread plays a fundamental role in the Christian Eucharist, where it symbolises the body of Christ. At the time of Passover Jews eat only unleavened bread, to commemorate their ancestors’ flight from Egypt, which was so hasty that there wasn’t time to wait for the bread to rise.

Breads From Around the World

Many of the world’s different varieties of bread developed due to the peculiar customs, beliefs, means and tastes of a community. Some have proved so popular that their recipes have spread throughout the world.

French Baguette

The baguette has come to be something of a symbol for France. Enjoyed throughout the country with butter, jam, any one of France’s 365 varieties of cheese and a nice glass of vin rouge, anyone who’s sampled an authentic French baguette will be well on the way to understanding the nation’s obsession.

The typical two foot loaf is actually a relatively new invention. At the beginning of the 20th century, bakers sought a way to meet customers’ demands for bread which had the maximum amount of crust, and the elongated loaf known as a baguette (literally ‘stick’) was born. Its dimensions, texture and taste are strictly monitored to ensure that every baguette measures up.

Though it has captured the imagination of the nation, the baguette is certainly not the only variety of bread available in France. Even before the days of baguettes bread had a part to play in the country’s national identity and history. Few history scholars will be unaware of the infamous words of Marie-Antoinette who, having been told that the peasants were staving because they had no bread, proclaimed ‘Let them eat cake!’ . Her ill-advised attitude is regarded as one of the factors which precipitated the French Revolution.

The invention of the small round roll known as a ‘bagel’ is attributed to a Jewish baker who lived in Vienna, Austria in 1683. The Polish King Jan Sobieski had successully protected the people of Vienna from Turkish invaders, and the baker wished to express his heartfelt thanks to the monarch. As King Jan was a keen horseman, he baked him a special roll in the shape of a riding stirrup (called beugal in his native language).

Bagels have remained a favorite of the Jewish people since that time, and Jewish immigrants brought bagels with them when they settled in other countries, including America, at the beginning of the 20th century. These days a bagel bakery is a familiar sight on high streets in many countries.

Irish Soda Bread

Soda bread is a traditional Irish bread which has been baked on the Emerald Isle for centuries. Ireland’s climate is entirely unsuited to the cultivation of hard wheat, from which yeast is derived, so Irish peasants began to use baking soda instead. Soda bread is simple to make and country folk didn’t need to rely on commercial bakeries but could bake their own bread at home, over a wood-fired hearth.

Over the years two main methods of making soda bread developed: it could be baked either in the pot or on a blackstone, an iron tray placed over the embers of the fire. Plain soda bread is still a popular accompaniment to any meal in Ireland, but the sweeter variety containing raisons, currants and caraway seeds is generally reserved for tea-time.

Brioche is another popular French bread, which is often served with jam or a savory fillings as an accompaniment to tea or coffee. The Parisian brioche is made by placing a small ball of dough on top of a larger one, and the strangely shaped roll became known as brioche a tete (literally ‘head’).

Some claim the bread was called brioche because it was first baked in the town of Brie. Others assert that the first brioche was kneaded using brie cheese. In fact, it’s most likely that it was named after the old Norman verb broyer, meaning ‘to pound’, referring to the vigorous preparation of the dough.

The Italians are among the world’s most experimental cooks. Almost every region has its own variety of ciabatta bread: ciabatta from Lake Como is light with a crisp crust, in Tuscany and Umbria it is denser and in Rome it is usually seasoned with olive oil, salt and marjoram.

The word ciabatta comes form the Italian word for ‘slipper’, referring to the shape of the bread. However, experts can’t agree on where the first ciabatta came from: some claim it was Lake Como, others think it was Trentino and still more maintain it was Padua. Whatever it’s origins, ciabatta has become a popular sandwich bread or accompaniment to Italian dishes all around the world.

Challah is traditional braided Jewish bread, which is loaded with religious symbolism. It is baked for the Sabbath and religious festivals (excluding Passover) throughout the year, and is often known as egg bread, since just one loaf requires at least half a dozen large eggs. This gives the bread a light, slightly sweet flavour.

Strictly speaking the word challah doesn’t actually refer to the finished loaf, but to a small piece of dough which is baked separately, then burnt to commemorate the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.

There are a great many different recipes for challah. Some cooks sprinkle the read with poppy or sesame seeds before baking, to symbolise the manna which fell from heaven to sustain the Israelites when they wandered in the desert.

Science Department Upgrades

The Pine Forge Academy Science Department recently acquired new equipment to support the science education taught at the school. Four portable science lab workstations, twelve portable micro-burners, additional safety supplies, and Chemistry and Physics kits with the most up-to-date scientific discoveries were purchased. Funding for this $15,000 venture was a joint effort between the Administration of the school, the Parent Association, and a member of the PFA Board.

Students at Pine Forge Academy currently take at least three science courses in order to graduate and they include Biology, Honors Biology, Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Physics, and Anatomy & Physiology. Conceptual Physics and Environmental Science are to be added to the offerings.

The Chair of the Department, Mr. Neil Thomas, says that “we believe that an intentional exposure of our students to quality education in our math and science offerings will positively impact the SAT and ACT scores, inspire more students to science related careers, produce a well-rounded student with enhanced critical thinking skills, and create informed students about the technological and natural world that we live in.”

Everest drags you close to the world’s highest mountain, slams you down into an unworldly environment, and rams you through the wringer for a couple of hours while relatable, all too human members of a climbing expedition run into terrible luck and must battle to survive. Meanwhile we, in our theater seats, don’t battle much more than the sweats, vertigo, white knuckles, dizziness, and the extreme likelihood that a couple of nimrods sitting in the row behind might be kicking the backs of our seats out of sheer nerves. Still, that’s how tense this thing gets.

Baltasar Kormaku (2 Guns) directed the 3D IMAX movie — a well acted disaster and survival heart-stopper — from a script by William Nicholson (Gladiators) and Simon Beaufoy (127 Hours) that recounts the nightmarish May 1996 when a mega-blizzard gave little warning and slammed two different exploration teams trying to reach the summit of Everest. For sheer drama, the facts don’t miss a beat or pull a punch. Oxygens tanks are too few. Ropes are either missing or unusable. The black sky is endless and overwhelming. The weather never lets up. Every climber has his reasons for being where he is, dragging along his weaknesses, fears, bravery and decency. Meanwhile, it’s indifferent Mother Nature against them all. Everest is jaw-dropping to look at, and it’s grim but it delivers, even when it muddles its emotional gut-jabs with too damn many underdeveloped characters.

The acting by Jason Clarke (as the trek’s expert Aussie alpha adventure consultant), Jake Gyllenhaal (as Clarke’s competitor guide, a hyped-up extreme sports adrenaline junkie), Josh Brolin (as a cocksure wealthy Texan), and John Hawkes (an everyday Seattle postman) make it impossible not to pull for these guys. Back at base camp and among the people who wait, though, it’s the tour manager, played by Emily Watson, who runs away with the acting honors, even with effective work from blink-and-they’re-gone stars Robin Wright and Keira Knightley as a pregnant wife. For theme and spectacle alone, Everest invites comparison with Gravity and even Mad Max: Fury Road. But, although it comes on strong with awe and mow-you-down spectacle, it doesn’t have the emotional appeal of either, let alone the blazing originality of vision. Still, it’ll tide you over until your next cardio workout.

Success at the Victorian State Swimming Championships

Success at the Victorian State Swimming Championships

Posted January 31, 2018

January saw three of the five swimmers endorsed by the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee (PNGOC) for the Commonwealth Games team, travel to Melbourne for the Victorian State Championships.

The annual event held from the 12th to the 14th of January at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC), saw some of Australia's best swimmers race in preparation for the Commonwealth Games trials being held at the end of February.

The swimmers swam extremely well in tough Melbourne conditions led by the experienced Ashley Seeto whom marginally missed swimming the B Final of the 50m breaststroke by 0.01. Leonard Kalate recorded personal bests in his 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle while Josh Tarere also produced two personal bests in his 100m freestyle and 50m butterfly.

The competition was a great lead up event for the Commonwealth Games, especially for Tarere making his international debut.

Post competition, Kalate and Tarere trained in Brisbane for two weeks with Yeronga Park under selected coach for the Commonwealth Games, Rob Van der Zant.

Kalate and Tarere have now returned home to Lae and back into full training in hopes of competing in April at Gold Coast in the pool events at the Commonwealth Games for Papua New Guinea.

Seeto has resumed training at Gold Coast and will join Sam Seghers and Ryan Maskelyne in competing at the Australian Commonwealth Games Trials at the end of February.

The final preparation meet for the five swimmers will be at the Theodist PNG National Championships being held from the 16th to 18th March at the Taurama Indoor and Aquatic Centre in Port Moresby.

Health inequality slumps to Great Depression levels

Poverty through the ages: Life expectancy might drop
Poverty through the ages: Life expectancy might drop

By staff

The inequality in life expectancy in the UK is as bad as it was in the Great Depression, new research has found.

A team of researchers used data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) and the General Register Office for Scotland to map out life expectancy according to income.

The report, published in the British Medical Journal, found that there were 212 deaths before the age of 65 in the poorest 10th of areas for every 100 deaths at that age in the 10th richest areas between 1999 and 2007.

From 1921 to 1930 there were 191 deaths in the poorest areas and 185 deaths from 1931 to 1939.

"Health and wealth are directly linked and, unless we tackle the income gap, we could well see life expectancy actually starting to fall for the first time in the poorest areas," said lead researcher Professor Danny Dorling.

The 1920's saw Britain desperately try to recover from the ravages of the First World War and then get hit by the Great Depression.

Health inequality then started narrowing due to the rise of manufacturing and industry in traditionally poorer parts of Britain.

But the 1970s that process has slowed, due presumably to the decline of British manufacturing, with the gap widening in the last 20 years.

Becoming a Pony Club Coach

Instructors Clinic @ Bealiba

Coaches play a vital role in the success of Pony Club.

The Pony Club Rally is considered the backbone of Pony Club, where all learning begins and Coaches play an integral role in creating rallies that are informative, challenging and fun for riders. Coaches need to be able to provide a safe and fun environment for riders to develop skills, confidence, a sense of belonging and a love of horses and horse riding.

Coaching provides senior members with a great way to keep involved with Pony Club after they have moved onto other riding opportunities, or give another avenue to assist their Club whilst continuing to ride. It also provides parents/guardians/adult supporters with an opportunity to get involved on a different level with their Club, to further develop their knowledge of horses and riding; and gives greater confidence in their abilities with horse management, horse ownership or helping their children master their skills in these areas.

Jess: Both kids have a nice collection of dolls from the time they were babies until now. They each have favorites

One-Man-Band Matt Bolton jams at #Petaluma’s Lagunitas Taproom

As a former musician I had to watch closely to how Matt Bolton performs.   After processing all that he does to create his music I was very impressed.  I have to admit my first impression was – this guy has recorded tracks for his background music – WRONG! I am usually very impressed with artists like Geddy Lee of Rush who sings, plays bass, organ bass foot pedals, and keyboards at the same time.  That would be too simple for Matt. Geddy would have to get rid of Neal Peart and play the acoustics as well to keep up with him.

Matt has toured with bands like Todd Rundgren and Jesse Colin Young band (that I actually had the opportunity to play a few songs with at the Inn of the Beginning in Cotati many moons ago). Rundgren recently said “I knew Matt was a player – that’s why I hired him.  But, it wasn’t until I a saw him do his own thing that I realized what an entertainer he is.” according to the Kauai Music Scene.

This solo artist from the Island of Kauai tours nationally and plays several genres of music using guitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards, piano, saxophone, violin, mandolin, slide guitar, ukelele, banjo, percussion, dobro and yes, he does the singing too.  Matt was kind enough to dedicate this song to Positively Petaluma in this video we produced.

5 Tactics for Conquering Positive Change

A few weeks ago, I wrote Clearing the Clouds: How to Cope with Panic, where I delved into the financial aspects of running my own business and shared some of the tactics I'd been using to make the most of a difficult time. Since then, I've had the great fortune to be connected with a number of companies and opportunities. (It's amazing what a little bit of time can do!) I'm thrilled about the opportunities that have come my way, but with new opportunities comes change — and, even when change is positive, it can be difficult to cope with.

The Positive Power of Pups : How Dogs Can Help You

This week I was fortunate enough to team up with Purina and Barkley the Morkie (Yes, she officially has an Instagram account. If you like cute and sassy, you'll enjoy it!) to celebrate the first annual Beverly Hills Dog Show. Bark and I might not live in Beverly Hills (yet!), but we're thrilled to be part of such an awesome event, raising money for a good cause: Leader Dogs for the Blind — a global organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Learn more about the dog show and the campaign at the end of this post.

If you're new here, you might not know that love dogs. Like, a lot. Like, so much that when I was a little kid I told my parents that my dream was to marry a dog. (A fact my dad likes to joke about, telling me that I have, in a way, achieved my dream through my single, ultimate-dog-mom status. Thanks, Dad.🙄 ) This isn't the first (or last!) time I've written about the wonderful lessons I've learned from the four-legged friends in my life, but I'm always learning new things about the positive power of pups. Keep reading for my latest thoughts on the positive power of pups! (Note: I'm pretty sure most of these apply to cats and other pets as well, so don't be deterred if you're not a dog lover!)

A Picture Is Worth....

A thousand words right...but which ones???

Ciao darlings,

     I've been meaning to post on here for a while, I have so much to tell you and so many outfits I want to share.  It'll take a few posts though.  I have been so super busy with college I bearly have time to sleep, the end of the semester is insane! I'm not done with finals until the 21st, which sucks!  Some rather interesting things have been going on in my life lately...good, bad, strange, lol!

     So, I have a little story to tell you guys and then a question.  I meant to post this a couple weeks ago, but here you go anyway.  I was talking to this guy a few weeks ago whom I met online.  We were texting and he was telling me all these sweet things.  He was nice but at the time I was still obsessed with the boy from college (I'm not anymore, but I'll tell you about that in my next post!).  I just didn't like him like that other guy so I had to tell him I could not talk to him anymore, which was not fun and I felt awful, but it would have been mean to keep kind of leading him on right?  I had only ever texted him, it wasn't a big deal and only for a week, but still I felt bad he was sad. :(  Whatever, had to be done, wasn't meant to be.  Anyway, the point I wanted to make was that when I was talking to this guy, let's call him T.  T asked me if I would consider sending him what I consider to be inappropriate pictures.  Of course, I said ABSOLUTELY NOT, NEVER!  I was quite offended that he'd ask...and that's when I knew I had to stop talking to him, even if he was nice.

     He said something that made me think and wonder about something.  He said something to the effect of: that he had assumed certain things about me based on the pictures I have posted on my blog.  What the hell have I ever posted on here that would make someone assume I would do something like that.  Not a slut, thanks!  No offense if you happen to be someone who does do things like that, but it's not me.  I am fully clothed in all my pictures.  Non of them are anything more than PG 13, haha!  I don't always dress like a nun, I know.  Yes, I like to look sexy once in a while, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I never thought someone would think that based on the way I look/dress in pictures.  He also said that I seemed less shy in photos, which I can understand, I do, but still, get lost!

     Do you guys assume anything about me based on my pictures?  How do I seem?  I've never really thought about it until now.  Has anyone ever assumed things about you based on a photo or your blog?  Comment below I'd love to know what you think.  I think (no, I know...) that guy was just a creeper and not worthy of my time.

That was random, haha!  Here's some outfits too! Enjoy! Tell me what you think! :)

1.) Teacher Chic

I look a little angry in these pictures, haha!  I was probably just tired after being at the elementary school and then having class after.  I should really take pictures in the morning, but there's not always time.  I love this dress with the pretty purple ruffles!

Dress:Ross, Tights: welovecolors.com, Shoes and Belt: Torrid

2.) Blue and Caramel

Not much to say about this outfit, I just like it. :)  I've been a little too obsessed with these boots lately, lol!

Skirt: Alloy.com, Leggings: Avenue, Boots and Tank top: Torrid, Belt, Necklace, & Jacket: Fashion Bug

3.) Lace, Purple & Blue (Out of cute names for outfits, lol!)

PhotobucketLove these earrings!

Skirt: DEB shop, Tank top & Jacket: Kohl's, Belt & Boots: Torrid, Tights: Avenue, Earrings: ?? (borrowed from my mom)

4.) Casual Leather

Some days, I do wear just jeans and a T shirt, not often, but sometimes.  My car was broken the day I wore this, which meant I got to borrow my father's car.  I was excited because he let me drive his BMW, and even though I'm not really too interested in cars, I still felt pretty bada** driving around in it for a few days...lol! So I wore the leather jacket to go along with that...and because I love it & have been wearing it often lately!  :)

Jeans: Torrid, T-shirt: Forever 21, I think?, Leather Jacket: Nine West,  Necklace: gift (the little heart charm is from somewhere in Calabria, Italy), Earrings: Forever 21, Flats: Avenue

5.) Pretty Pink & Black Lace

This sweater is a pretty light pink color (my favorite!) but the flash on my camera makes it look a little too white.  This is another example of why I should take outfit pictures in the morning, I look tired and my hair got a little messed up in the rain, oh well.

Sweater: Fashion Bug, Skirt: DEB shop, Leggings: Avenue, Boots: Torrid, Earrings and necklace: Forever 21

     That's all for now, I have some other things I want to share with you guys soon (happy boy-related things :) ) and a few more outfits too.  I'll try to blog again soon.  Love you guys, comment below and follow the blog through Google Friend Connect if you'd like. :)

                                                                          Xoxo Gabriella

New Year, New Lessons to Love

Welcome to 2018! We at Project Give Back are so excited to get back into the classrooms. It is now presentation time! Starting January 15th until the end of April the sessions are all student driven. These youngsters are teaching us about more than 600 worthy causes, each with its own unique reason for being chosen by one of our students. Here are just a few messages from our students:
Isabella – I chose Amnesty International because I believe everything should be fair and equal. It’s time for us to speak up for people who don’t have a voice!”
Matthew reflected on the reason chess is so important to him. Here’s his answer. “When you get really good at it, you are unstoppable! You always remember the first time you win, especially if you win against a person older. When you fail, you learn what not to do the next time”.
After he researched the Chess’n Math Association he shared, “ I learned that chess is a way to get kids off screens. There are chess clubs in poor parts of Africa and India to help children’s confidence and ambition and chess is used to fight against racism and prejudice.”
We never know where the discussions will go or the journey of ripple effects that often occur from these lessons. One thing we do know however, each Project Give Back lesson makes us a little kinder, a little wiser and a lot more empathetic towards one another.

The NPD Group Opens New Office in Ireland

Share Article

Facilitating an Increase of Employment Projected to 100 People

The NPD Group, a global provider of consumer and retail tracking market research, has opened a new facility in Athlone, Ireland to be a Global IT/Operations Centre, projected to grow to 100 people employed over the next three years. The NPD Group established a pilot effort in Athlone in early 2010, and is now establishing a full Global IT/Operations Centre. The investment is supported by IDA Ireland.

The NPD Group’s IT/Operations Centre in Athlone is designed to play an integral part in the company’s Global IT / Operations vision and is part of its overall plan for introducing a new state-of-the-art data management system. There are currently 20 people employed at the facility, and 80 new jobs will be created and filled over the next three years. The new jobs will be in the areas of data classification, data analytics, quality assurance, and software development.

Commenting on the announcement, Tod Johnson, Chairman and CEO of The NPD Group, said, ‘”Athlone was our preferred location for several reasons, but none more important than a deep talent pool of well-educated and multilingual people. The presence of Athlone Institute of Technology was also a factor in our decision. We sincerely appreciate the assistance of IDA Ireland, as they have played a key role in helping our operations get up and running so quickly. We look forward to continuing to work with the Agency as The NPD Group grows its Irish operation.”

Barry O’Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland, said, “The NPD Group made the decision to locate here in late 2009, and it is most encouraging to see this project develop at such a swift pace. The development of The NPD Group in Ireland highlights the speed with which Ireland can meet the needs of multinational companies. International Services is a key target area for IDA Ireland, and The NPD Group’s location here crosses two of IDA’s target sectors, business services and digital data management. This is an excellent addition to the IDA portfolio of companies in the Midlands, as well as its growing cluster of companies in the analytics and market research sector.

Ancient Evil in a Sleepy Scottish Town

Share Article

A new thriller combines history and horror to create a diabolical adventure

News Image

The Scottish people are one of history’s greatest survivors. They have survived Vikings, the civil war and even the mighty English, but can they survive the manifestation of evil itself? The new horror adventure novel Spun Sugar and Bootblack (published by Trafford Publishing) by Christoph James pits a small Scottish village against an intractable evil as old as time.

Life for Tamlyn Macleary, his family and his neighbors was quite simple. Their quiet town of Dunradin, Scotland lay just north of the border of Scotland and England. Life has remained much the same there for hundreds of years. The railway’s skirting of the town has all but guaranteed that time will leave the quant hamlet untouched by the nineteenth century’s dawning industrial age. That is, until the return of a prodigal son.

When Tamlyn’s long lost uncle suddenly returns, the small town is cast into a tempest darker than any could have imagined. Fearghal has returned to Dunradin to deliver a dire warning. Dark, blood drinking creatures called Teriz, an evil from the deepest bowls of the Earth, have chosen to make sleepy Dunradin their new home. While none of the town’s inhabitants have ever heard of such creatures, they refuse to be displaced and choose to defend their home, to the death if needs be.

Thus begins the adventure of Spun Sugar and Bootblack. This thriller is set in 1864, at the dawn of the Victorian era. It pits black creatures of pure evil against the tenacious and resilient people of the Scottish Lowlands.

Spun Sugar and Bootblack’s cast of characters serve to create an adventure like no other. With the members of the clan Macleary, one of whom harbors a dark secret, a Highlander tasked with the destruction of the evil, subterranean creepers and the great Queen Victoria herself, Spun Sugar and Bootblack will keep readers mesmerized and terrified to its last, bone chilling page.

Finds Decrease in September Business Volume Not a Surprise

Share Article

After a prosperous summer and high occupancy rates, the senior housing industry is experiencing a post-Summer seasonal adjustment in their business. Historical Internet search patterns and conversations across the industry prove that this may not be a surprising change of pace.

With very strong performances in both July and August, discovered that several companies are reporting a change in business during September. This trend appears to plague a broad spectrum with lower levels of both inquiries and move-ins in September among both large and small companies.

One very positive trend is that the the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing & Care Industry (NIC) is reporting a 4-year high occupancy rates of 88.8% across Assisted Living. According to the NIC, the occupancy rate for senior housing has consistently increased for the past 10 quarters. With such consistent growth, the lower level of September move-ins should not be surprising in advance of the upcoming Holiday Season.

Historical Data Confirms the Trend

A review of internal historical data and keyword search traffic patterns shows that September, October and even early November, are typically times when lower numbers of families seek information and care compared to the Summer months. Internet searches for Assisted Living dropped 10% after the Summer months. Industry history shows that the current reduction in business is simply the ebb and flow of seasonal activity and not necessarily a sign of a downturn.

Summer Activities Affect the Cycle

Every trend has its driving forces and this one is no different. The potential reason for the continual decrease in September, October and November is that there are certain times of year when people devote more time to focus on their broader family. While most industry veterans know there are busier times after each major holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.), Summer is now starting to mirror this effect.

This trend is not the same as “seasonality” for traditional retailers, who get around 40% of their business during the holiday months. In assisted living, at any time of year, there are always many families who need information or need to connect with senior living communities, but for people who are planning this move for themselves or a loved one, it seems that summer is the peak time. As people plan for their summer vacations or downtime, people often spend time thinking about their family situations and senior living arrangements which sparks a higher level of activity in July and August and a bit less in September and October as life gets back into full swing.
The data proves that the industry should not be alarmed by the downturn, but use this as an opportunity to review and enhance business and marketing tactics. As history is proven to repeat itself, new ideas and directions will be needed with the next influx of business that is right around the corner.

About ( is a free resource for people looking for senior housing or senior care for a loved one or themselves. With expert-written articles, a comprehensive directory of care options and a free care advisor service, is the best place to start your search for assisted living, independent living, Alzheimer's care, a retirement community or home care.

Daily Skin Care Manufacturer Likewise Skincare Responds to an Article Which Reports the Anti Aging Benefits of Olive Oil Consumption

Share Article

A representative from skincare manufacturer Likewise Skincare comments on an article published by The Olive Oil Times which reports a study suggesting that olive oil can help protect against sun damage aging.

On October 30, daily skin care manufacturer Likewise Skincare responds to an article published by The Olive Oil Times which reports that olive oil may have anti aging skin benefits.

According to the article, a new study, which was published in the Public Library of Science, suggests that “a high intake of olive oil and other monounsaturated fats” could protect the skin against aging caused by sun damage. “The cross-sectional study included 1,264 women and 1,655 men, all between 45 and 60 years old. Dietary intake records where completed by participants at least ten times in the first two-and-a-half years of follow up, allowing intake of monounsaturated fatty acids from olive oil and other sources to be estimated. Skin photo-aging was then graded by photographs,” reports The Olive Oil Times. The French study concluded that those with higher intakes of monounsaturated fatty acids from olive oil and other vegetable oils had a lower risk of severe photo-aging.

Lisa Shariat, a representative from skincare company Likewise Skincare, states, “This study reveals a natural and healthy way to combat aging from sun damage. It’s interesting to know that by introducing olive oil to one’s diet, a person will have a lower risk of severe photo-aging. In addition to adding this healthy option to your diet, I highly recommend using a moisturizer with SPF to combat damaging UV rays. By doing this, you’ll be protecting your skin against aging with both your diet and your [daily skin care routine.” Likewise Skincare commends the study and its revealing research.

The article reports that compared to other common vegetable oils, the consumption of olive oil proved to have “the greatest association with reduced aging.” As stated by The Olive Oil Times, “The authors concluded that the results supported the beneficial effect of olive oil on the aging of the skin, although admit that as participants who consumed more olive oil also had healthier overall diets, this may also play a part in the protective effect.”

Likewise Skincare was founded by board-certified dermatologist and President of Likewise, Inc., Dr. Julie Pena. Likewise daily moisturizers are all-in-one but not one-fits-all. Each moisturizer is formulated with skin-balancing toners to work with your specific skin type. The moisturizers use a variety of anti-aging antioxidants, ultra-protective zinc oxide and water-resistant ingredients to make sure your skin is protected.

“New Innovative Program Protects Equity for Homeowners and will Restore Confidence Against Market Fluctuations”

Real Living Five Corners Real Estate

Real Living Five Corners, a leading New York and Connecticut real estate company, is now offering homeowners an opportunity to protect their family’s biggest investment through the EquityLock® Protection program from EquityLock Solutions. The innovative program protects homeowners from possible home price index declines and it is currently only available through the experienced and professional agents with Real Living Five Corners.

“So many buyers have been waiting on the sidelines for the right time to get in,” said Jonathan Lerner, Owner/Broker for Real Living Five Corners. “This program from EquityLock is a guarantee that what buyers pay for their new home will be protected against any fluctuations in the local House Price Index. That means they can buy with confidence and peace of mind.”

EquityLock Solutions, based in Denver, launched EquityLock Protection nationwide in 2011. The program is a financial contract giving homeowners a financial return if the local House Price Index, as reported by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is lower at the time they sell their home than when they originally purchased their protection contract. The program is available to homeowners who are currently purchasing or who already own their home. RealLiving is working with EquityLock to provide the program through several of its U.S. offices and agents.

"We are happy to work with Real Living to restore homeowner confidence and bring stability to the housing market," said Ted Rusinoff, President of EquityLock Solutions. "Working together, we can help more homeowners, buyers and sellers achieve their dreams."

“To turn our economy around, there are few things more important than restoring faith and confidence in homeownership. Real Living is constantly pursuing programs that benefit both our agents and consumers,” said Jonathan Lerner. “EquityLock’s program can instill confidence, especially in a market like this. And this program, along with the advice and consultation of a trained and knowledgeable Real Living agent, will help homebuyers know their equity is protected.”

The price protection program covers the home for 15 years with a one-time premium. The homeowner is eligible to make a claim after living in the protected home for 24 months and is protected up to 20 percent of the contract amount.

New $2.7 Million Ad Buy Urges Taxpayers to Fight Against Government Spending

Share Article

AFP launching new TV initiative in five states.

Today Americans for Prosperity, the nation’s largest advocate for economic freedom, announced the launch of a new $2.7 million ad buy in five states focused on the big government spending policies of various officials including: Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Joe Donnelly (D- IN), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), and Shelley Berkley (D-NV), and Former Governor Tim Kaine (D-VA). The ads, which are now being rolled out over a two-week period, will blanket airwaves statewide in every major media market in Wisconsin, Indiana, Nevada, Virginia and New Mexico.

AFP President Tim Phillips said, “These ads are about showing Americans where their officials stand on critical issues like the national debt and government spending. Irresponsible spending in government has been allowed to continue far too long. It’s time these officials stand up for the taxpayers in their state and demand Washington tighten its belt, and live within a budget.”

The first ad began airing in Wisconsin late last week, and features a simple message delivered by local residents. The ad says that politicians in Washington could learn a lot of Wisconsin’s responsible budget reforms. Big-government spenders like Representative Tammy Baldwin must end the wasteful spending that is bankrupting America.” Click here to view the latest ad.

“Americans work too hard and pay too much in taxes for these five officials to spend so much and waste so much,” continued Phillips. “Everyone is tightening their belts, but some politicians still haven’t gotten the message. It is my hope that these ads inspire taxpayers to get in touch with their officials and convince them to stop abusing our hard earned tax dollars.”

Fashion Photographer and Visual Artist Kenal Create an Avant Garde Geisha

Share Article

Fashion photographer and visual artist Kenal collaborates with OSTYLES stylist Omar Rodriguez to bring a memoir of a geisha to fashion. The photographer looks for publications and blogs to feature the shoot.

Avant Garde Geisha

Avant Garde Geisha

Pierre "Kenal" Louis is an artist born on the island of Haiti. The young aspiring fashion photographer and visual artist based in Omaha, Nebraska looks to catch the world of fashion photography by storm. The talented creative artist in 2013 collaborated with a veteran stylist Omar Rodriguez to bring a memoir of a geisha. Rodriguez have competed in the Las Vegas, Battle of The Strands, styled for many Latin stars including one of Ricky Martin's tour and more. The two collaborated together to bring a very dramatic vision to life of an avant garde geisha.

Together, the stylist of OSTYLES and the fashion photographer shot with a gorgeous Vietnamese model by the name of Nancy Pham. The shoot coordinated by Raechel Dennis was a success and have gained much attention through social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. With a dazzling kabuki styled makeup, big hair styled with red highlights the stylist and the photographer created an image that had others talking about the shoot all summer.

According to Kenalsworld in preparation even for the photoshoot the stylist Rodriguez watched the Memoirs of Geisha for inspiration along with doing some research even on the history on Geisha’s. According to the Urban Dictionary the author of Geisha; A Life Mineko Iwasaki a former Geisha earlier in her life described the practice of Mizuage as a coming-of-age ceremony, and apparently there was some selling of the virginity that went on in association with that ritual ceremony in the pleasure district a long time ago. This inspired the creative direction of the photoshoot from the start, but the background research made the photoshoot even more pure and to magnify the geisha beauty.

Kenal the fashion photographer is looking for publications to feature the photoshoot in their printed magazines and online editorial blogs along with some of the other fashion photoshoots he created in 2013.

"The response to the avant garde geisha shoot has been great. It has sparked several ideas in me along with Omar to create a sequel avant garde geisha. It is going to be even more dramatic and truthfully I cannot wait to capture something even more surreal. It has been wonderful working with an amazing stylist such as Omar. Now it's just time to keep the momentum going to get the word out about the images and to expose the talent in the Midwest." - Kenal

Kenal is a fashion photographer, visual artist, musician and much more. He hope to continue to create art in various mediums that people will enjoy and be inspired by.
