Leather + Distressed Jeans

Well, I'm traveling once again.

Whenever the duty of hopping on a plane occurs, I gravitate towards signature pieces that are pretty much considered my "airport must-haves."  I know I can't possible be alone on this - there has to be certain items of clothing that you always wear when traveling (that don't consist of matching tracksuits).  For me, it's usually a leather jacket, graphic tee, distressed jeans, and boots.

I used to throw on heels if the flight was early in the morning, to offset my mind into thinking it wasn't 4 a.m. and 4-inch heels would keep me awake to walk through the airport.  That principle went out of the window when I began traveling with a 3-year-old.  What are some of your go-to traveling style items?

What I'm rocking:

Hat ℅ ASOS
Shirt ℅ Desigual (it's a men's shirt)
Jacket ℅ GUESS
Jeans by JBRAND

Plunge Jumpsuit + Pastel Cocoon Coat

There are few things that beat the Winters in Miami, paired with sun-filled Sundays, toes in the sand and salty water splashing through the hair.  And just like that, I'm back in Miami Beach (and my fluffy white bed).  Don't get me wrong…it's always a joy to travel home and see my family, but it feels good to be back in crop top/denim short weather.  For the best of both worlds, I decided to pair this black GUESS jumpsuit with an alternate soft-toned cocoon coat.  I love the combination of pastels with dark shades, as it offsets the femininity of the coat.

The Skirt Trick

Oddly enough, I'm sitting at my laptop, with a pile full of Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter Cups as I blog my life away at 1:04 A.M.  Obviously, what else would one be doing at such a time?  Cyber family - I have come to a realization that I failed to post anything in almost a week, which is highly unlike me.  Although I would like to place the blame on my presence at home, visiting family.  Yes, that sounds like a good excuse.  I've also taken on the role of posting a new video every day of December on my video channel, which seemingly takes up more time than expected when I initially had this grand idea in my head.  Nonetheless, I like to stick to my word so I shall push forward.

As I sit in the 40 degree weather, enjoying the 10 degree increase since the past week, I recall this look that I shot back in Miami prior to traveling up here.  If you grew up in the 90's, this dandy little wonder called a skort, was all the rage.  What could possibly be better than a skirt that ultimately remains shorts?  This skirt trick has a sexy edge without looking ridiculously crazy.

The New Classics

Festive avoidance has suit me quite well over previous years, that is, until I had a little man enter the world.  I don't enjoy eating ham, turkey, drinking beer, or devouring endless amounts of Holiday cookies while sitting cozily around the fireplace with my entire extended family.  However, I do believe in spending quality time with family over the Holidays.  Hence, my current residency (for the next week) in the Midwest to visit the family.

One might believe that I am beginning to sound like a complete grinch, but I am going somewhere with this…I think.

So once I birthed my son, all possibilities of avoiding Holiday spirit went out the door along with my ability to refrain from hiding this little Elf on the Shelf character, master the art of gift wrapping thousands of gifts, and get away with no Holiday decor.  Despite all of this, it's become quite festively interesting to create so much joy for my little guy.  Additionally, I've busted out the Holiday fashion looks (which brings me to today's post).  If there's any staple piece that should be in every woman's life, it's a moto jacket (a green one suitably works for the Holidays).  This green moto jacket that I was gifted by GUESS is one of my absolute favorites from their Holiday collection and needless to say, I'll be rocking it quite often.

Another classic piece is obviously the little black dress, but style is also defined by finding new ways to switch pieces up (like layering a flouncy A-line skirt over a textured black dress).  It creates intricate depth and less of a boring look for this time of year.

GUESS Holiday in New York City

There's something beautiful about melding fashion exclusivity with New York glamour, which is why I'm excited to announce the latest project that I've been working on. GUESS recently invited me for a night of glamour in New York City, where myself and a few other influencers were "glammed" up and laced in the new GUESS holiday collection. I'm overly fascinated with vibrant reds for Fall/Winter, so I instantly selected the Off Shoulder Corset Dress for our photo shoot at The Griffin.

There's something alluring about a peek of shoulder and a little leg that makes the corset dress essential for a girl's night out. To accessorize the look, I paired it with a Sunrise rose gold watch, Greyson satchel bag, and Cayen heels (which just might be the most comfortable pair of high heels existing in my closet).

The photo shoot was so much fun with the girls, complete with gold confetti for days! Check out photos from the shoot below, and get some glam inspiration for your upcoming holiday parties.

Red Midi Skirt

Midi skirts seem most appropriate during the Fall/Winter season, although I'm fairly keen to mini skirts or flouncy A-line skirts.  However, I feel so feminine and radiant in this bright red midi skirt from Express.  I'm a firm believer in dressing for your body type, and for some reason, midi skirts have never really been too flattering on my shorter-framed body until I discovered ways to alter it for a more appealing look (without looking like an oompa loompa).  Whenever I'm wearing a skirt or dress that hits beneath the knees, I offset it with a light colored crop top to elongate the torso and high heels of at least 4 inches or taller.  A neutral heel, such as nude or metallic, helps lengthen the appearance of legs as well.  There you have it - my tricks for hiding my short height.

As the holidays approach, it's quite obvious that it becomes increasingly more difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle (let's be honest). On the other hand, being active is positive in the sense that it makes us feel good. Despite my desire to throw in the towel and completely disregard all workout activity in the midst of mounds of delicious food and endless to-die-for desserts during Fall/Winter, I consistently feel amazing post-workout. When you look good, you feel even better, so of course feeling well in my workout clothes is of the utmost importance. Remaining active during a tempting time of the year is difficult; however, it is certainly attainable.  Therefore, I'm teaming up with Target® C9 to share my favorite ways to stay active during this time of year.

Since it's still fairly warm in Miami during this time of the year, I love to stay active outdoors. Whether it's going for a bike ride, a quick run over the bridge, or yoga by the water, it feels amazing just to be outside and doing something active.

Hammer Time

Now that the food coma from Thanksgiving has settled and gone, I can safely say that it's time to get back to reality.  I was looking for some faux leather joggers for quite some time, and discovered these GoJane harem pants that are pretty much my weekend "Hammer pants."  They're extremely comfy and I love that I can dress them up or down.  If you're anything like me, having multi-purpose pieces are essential to have in the closet.

Career Advice with ANN INC.

career advice, how to get into fashion industry, work advice, career tips, inspiration, leadership, retail, fashion, social responsibility, confidence, women, ann inc, loft, lou and grey, miami fashion blogger, style by lynsee

For today's post, I'm teaming up with ANN INC. (Ann Taylor, LOFT, Lou & Grey) to share my advice for jumping into the fashion world. Often times I receive questions regarding fashion blogging and how to make it a career, and the primary boost behind it is to focus on what exactly it is that you would like to achieve in a profession. Whether it's owning a fashion label, designing for a major fashion brand, or even managing a retail store, determine where you see yourself in five years. The next step is to make a plan of attack. For me, writing thoughts and goals on paper helps motivate me to continue pushing. It's also important to connect with like-minded people who are in the same business of interest, so attending networking events is also a plus.

Applying for jobs can be quite tedious and stressful, but there are some key fashion companies who are incredible to work for. For example, ANN INC. is a great place to work if you're looking to break into the fashion industry (the only fashion retailer to receive the 2014 Gallup Great Workplace Award). ANN INC. offers a range of positions in various fields such as store management, design, merchandising, e-commerce, sourcing, and planning & allocation.

At ANN INC. their classic motto, "We Get Women" resonates through the brand. ANN INC. associates are committed to and driven by a simple but profound mission: Inspiring and connecting with each other to help women put their best selves forward every day. They also support and celebrate the richness of women's full, multi-dimensional lives ANN INC. wants to welcome you to your career with a "hug not a handshake."

Jaunty in Denim

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably already are quite aware that I recently landed in my hometown for a fairly long trip (two weeks nonetheless) to see my family.  Despite feeling like I was freezing what body parts I had left, it was a relaxing time spent.  It's refreshing to be home, as it gives me time to sit still for a second.  Lounging, in the sartorial and physical senses, has never been something I have been incredibly well at accomplishing.  With that being said, jumpsuits or one-pieces are my go-to for casual wear.  What's even better than a jumpsuit?  A denim one of course.

On a sunny 10 o'clock in the Midwest, standing in 30-degree weather, this little number kept me nice and cozy while still attempting to remain chic in these lace-up metallic booties.

Boost The Value Of Your Home By Fixing Up The Garden

Well hello there fellow bloggers, I’ve just been reading my last post and I’ve realised I can go into a little bit more detail on a piece of advice I gave. If you read it, you’ll know I was talking about selling a home fast. One of the ways I talked about doing this was a little something called curb appeal. But, I only scratched the service of this topic so for those of you eager to sell a house I think a little more information is necessary. By improving your home’s curb appeal, you can actually get a much higher offer on your house when you sell. There are a number of ways to do this.

1. Tidy Up Your Garden

When thinking about curb appeal, it is important that your garden looks neat and tidy to a potential buyer. This is quite simple to do, and it won’t take much of your time or effort. All you need is a good trim of the grass and to cut back any overhanging trees and bushes. This will ensure that your garden looks clean and clear. If you have been having a dry season, you may also want to use some grass growing to make sure your lawn looks full and lush.

2. Make Any Needed Repairs

Once you have finished cleaning and tidying the garden, it is time to get busy with repairs. You need to fix anything that is immediately noticeable to a visitor and perhaps a few things that aren’t. You would be surprised by the little details a potential buyer will notice.  For instance, if you have any weeds growing between gaps in paving stones you need to pull those out. You and I know that this has nothing to do with the quality of a home, but it is all about perception. Weeds make a house look like it has fallen into a state of disrepair. Other common fixes are repainting the garden fence and replacing any loose posts.

3. Make Your Garden Look Bigger

It’s pretty simply to make a garden look bigger than it is, but it will require some attention and you probably won’t be able to do this yourself. If you have a back garden, that is completely grass you need to think about dividing it into sections by laying down a patio. Once you have done this, you can think about making your garden look unique with a structure like a pergola. This makes the space look bigger while also adding a certain degree of perceived value to your home. Great Aussie Patios build pergolas, so you don’t have to worry about a difficult construction process. Once it is complete you will see the massive effect it has on your lawn.

4. Give It Some Character

If you have taken my advice and built a pergola patio feature this is going to be the pinnacle of your garden. But you also want to add some character to the rest of it. You can do this by planting some gorgeous, colourful flowers around the place or adding decorative ornaments.

Once you are finished, you won’t even recognise your back yard. This whole process can add at least ten grand on to the asking price when you sell.

I hope this has been a little helpful in boosting the value of your home.

Summit County: Probation for man who threatened girlfriend with gun |

Summit County: Probation for man who threatened girlfriend with gun

Caddie Nath
summit daily news

BRECKENRIDGE – A man who beat and threatened his girlfriend with a gun was sentenced Monday to four years’ probation and 90 days in jail after pleading guilty to assault and felony menacing.

Zachary Shannon, 31, reportedly beat the victim, choked her and repeatedly threatened to kill her during a drunken fight in June of last year, according to an arrest affidavit.

Judge Mark Thompson told Shannon he’d come close to prison, but was getting probation and a short stint in jail due to his lack of violent criminal history and the apparent remorse he showed in court.

“You can be assured that if you screw up on probation you will find yourself going to prison,” Thompson said in court Monday.

Shannon will be allowed to participate in a work release program to keep his current job while serving his jail sentence and is required to write a letter of apology to the victim.

He is also required to attend counseling, take random drug tests and pay restitution.

Recommended Stories For You

The victim suffered some minor injuries in the fight that led to Shannon’s arrest.

On June 9, 2012, she called the police after an argument that started at a Frisco bar turned physical. She told authorities her boyfriend was angry because he thought she had been flirting with other men at the bar, according to the affidavit.

When they returned to their residence, she said Shannon threw her cell phone, shattering it, and smashed her sunglasses by stomping on them.

She told police she then tried to leave the house and Shannon pushed her, causing her to fall down the porch stairs and scrape her knee, the affidavit states. She said Shannon followed her into the driveway, grabbed her by the throat and began punching her in the face, according to the affidavit.

She said he also threatened her life several times, telling her he was going to kill her with a 9 mm pistol found in his home, the affidavit states.

Shannon was initially charged with third-degree assault, two counts of criminal mischief, domestic violence and menacing. The charges were reduced to one count of felony menacing and third-degree assault as part of the plea deal he took Jan. 28.

Shannon was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the assault charge, to be served at the same time as the 90-day penalty for menacing.

The victim was present in court Monday, but did not give a statement.

At the hearing, Thompson compared the case to a 2010 murder in Summit County, which was also a domestic violence incident. Former Silverthorne resident Dale Bruner was convicted in July of strangling his wife and throwing her body in the Blue River near their house, where it was discovered several days later.

Thompson sentenced him to 112 years in prison.

“The last domestic violence case I dealt with in this courtroom was a man that got out of control and killed his wife,” Thompson said at the sentencing hearing. “I pray that he never walks out of that prison.”

Climate change: Leave hot air to the professionals

Reading your recent collection of letters on climate change ("Room for debate," Oct. 29), I wonder how useful such debates are. A businessman writes about the science behind climate change, and readers with no background in science respond. Is there anything to be learned from these amateurish exchanges?

My favorite contribution is the one that explains that the most significant source of carbon dioxide comes from decaying kelp. I have no idea whether that is true (one would have to believe some scientific study, wouldn't one?), but high-school science tells me it is irrelevant. Since decaying matter first captured the carbon and then releases it again, the net release is zero. The next generation of kelp will capture it again, then release it and so on.

My reaction to this totally unenlightened exchange is this: Debate over important societal issues by the ignorant should be left to politicians, for they are professionals with regards to talking hot air. But at least, their often rather dumb remarks matter because they — unfortunately — can act on them.

Community colleges chief decries budget cuts' toll on students

California community colleges have shed more than 300,000 students since 2009 because the students cannot get into classes, and the toll is likely to grow unless the state reverses course and pumps more money into higher education.

That bleak assessment was delivered last week by California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott in a State of Community Colleges address at Pasadena City College.

Scott served as president of the college from 1987 to 1995, before being elected to the state Legislature. He became chancellor of the community college system in 2009 and recently announced his retirement, effective Sept. 1.

"We should be working together to rebuild California and making it a bet- ter place for our children," Scott told about 300 students, faculty and community members who gathered in the campus auditorium. "Dreams are necessary to live. If we keep dashing college dreams and denying opportunities for Californians, we're going to lose our best and brightest to other states, which will only further exacerbate our state's economic situation."

Earlier last week, California State University announced that it will freeze most admissions for spring 2013, with the exception of a few hundred community college transfer students who will be offered admission to eight of Cal State's 23 campuses.

The move will shut out an estimated 16,000 others, most of them would-be transfer students who are likely to remain at community colleges and clog access for recent high school graduates and unemployed workers who have been streaming into the two-year system for job retraining.

Scott said he understood the reasoning for Cal State's actions: State universities suffered $750 million in funding cuts in 2011-12. Meanwhile, community colleges took a $564-million hit. Both systems could lose millions more if a tax measure on the November ballot fails.

The budget cuts have caused community colleges to reduce course offerings by about 20% at a time when demand is greater than ever. California's 112 community colleges now serve about 2.6 million students.

"The desire for community colleges has never been higher, but unfortunately, we don't have the resources to provide for everybody we'd like to provide for," Scott said in an interview after his Pasadena appearance.

"When you keep piling on those kinds of cuts, colleges have no ability to respond but to reduce the number of courses we offer."

March 1985

Fidel Castro exhales cigar smoke during a March 1985 interview at his presidential palace in Havana. Castro, a Havana attorney who fought for the poor, overthrew dictator Fulgencio Batista's government on Jan. 1, 1959. He defeated a U.S. attempt, known as the Bay of Pigs invasion, to overthrow his revolutionary regime on April 19, 1961. Afterwards, Cuba armed itself with Soviet nuclear missiles aimed at the United States which almost brought the world to the brink of nuclear disaster. Castro, who has survived assassination attempts that included a poisoned cigar, threats of torture and stormy seas, is like a cat with nine lives. Yet as the world waits for more details on his current health and his surgery. The Cuban leader ceded power temporarily Monday, July 31, 2006, to his younger brother Raul Castro.

This sucks! Burglar left DNA-rich lollipop at crime scene, deputies say

Now that his lollipop is state evidence, guess he'll just have to lick his wounds.

Thomas Christopher Crews, 53, of North Naples, left his used lollipop stick on a bedroom dresser of a home he burglarized, detectives said, reports WBBH NBC News-2 in Fort Myers.

The discarded lollipop's DNA matched a profile already on file at the state's DNA data bank registry, according to the report.

Why did detectives refer to this crime as a 'dinner set' burglary? Why was his DNA on file?

Durham Cricket League: Littletown rocked by Ullah no-go

Have your say

AMBITIOUS Littletown have been dealt a major blow for their Second Division campaign with the news that Pakistani Rizwan Ullah will not be their first overseas pro following visa issues in his home country.

Undeterred, they are now pursuing a promising option which may see an Indian all-rounder with IPL experience arrive within the next fortnight.

In the meantime, they head into the weekend without the unavailable Luke Hutchinson, who misses both Saturday’s home game against Silksworth and bank holiday Monday’s trip to Houghton.

They delay naming his replacement.

Silksworth have to reckon without the services of skipper Micky Waterson on Saturday, although he returns for the home derby against Ryhope on Monday when Mark Foster is also expected to make his seasonal bow.

Ryhope show one change for their home opener against Ushaw Moor, with Andrew Scollen in for Chris Errington.

Whiteleas were one of only two winners in either division last week and their double header begins with a home game against Langley Park and is followed by a trip to the other opening day victors, Seaham Park.

Leas will be expected to get the better of a Langley Park side who finished bottom last year,

Seaham Park are likely to provide a much sterner test following the winter additions to their side.

The Park finished a place behind Leas last term and have made no secret of their desire to secure Division One cricket next season, with several new signings.

Leas skipper Ray McRae has to do without opening batsman Lee Gilbert for Saturday, but the experienced Scott Oliver returns to the fold. Gilbert will play in Monday’s game.

Just seven days into the new season and it’s stag weekend time already!

The Peterlee four of skipper Paul Griffith, Andrew Laidler, James Kemp and Shaun Taylor could not have picked a worse time to pack their bags and head for Magaluf as their club are set to host red-hot title favourites Burnopfield on Saturday.

Fit or not, the quartet return for the bank holiday trip to Ushaw Moor, but, with Darren Bill working this weekend, the five named replacements on Saturday are Harry Garraghan, Darren Almond, Howard Craggs, Jon and Billy Willetts.

Murton are missing Ali Watson, Niall Heron and Matthew Aiken, so Thomas Spinks, Nish Kulasegaram and Jed Jarvis make the trip to Evenwood,

Houghton include new recruit Zac Waite, formerly of Hetton Lyons and Eppleton, alongside the returning Craig Nield when they play at unchanged Marsden.

Pumpkin Roll

No Holiday would be complete without a pumpkin roll on the dessert table.  The flavors of pumpkin and cream cheese go together so well.

My Mother-in-law showed me how to make this years ago and I've made it every year since. This recipe can be found on the back of the Libby's pumpkin wrapper, but I have of course tweaked it.

This is not a terribly difficult recipe but it does take some time. Hopefully seeing the steps will help even a little bit in your baking endeavors.

What you'll need for the cake.
Pumpkin Cake ingredients:

3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup canned Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, that already has seasoning in it)

What you'll need for the filling.
1 package (8oz) cream cheese softened
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
6 Tablespoons butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra powdered sugar for sprinkling on top of the roll and onto a dish cloth.

Before you start mixing the ingredients you need to get a couple things ready.

 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. While it's heating grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan (much like a large cookie sheet). Line with waxed paper and then grease and flour the paper.  This keeps the cake from sticking to the pan.

 Sprinkle powdered sugar on a thin cotton dish towel.  This will be used to roll up the cake after it comes out of the oven.

 Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl beat together eggs and sugar.

Then beat in pumpkin.

Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.

Spread evenly onto the jelly roll pan.

Then bake for 13-15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched.

Immediately while the cake is still hot, loosen and turn cake upside down onto the towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Carefully peel off the wax paper and roll the cake up in the towel starting with the narrow end.  Cool the rolled up cake on a wire rack.

For the filling beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy, then add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract.  Beat until well incorporated and smooth with no lumps.

Carefully unroll the cake and spread the filling evenly over it.

Roll the cake back up.

Then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

 I typically make this the day before and refrigerate it overnight. Then about a half hour before serving I remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the roll with powdered sugar and slice into 1 inch pieces.  This is very yummy served plain or with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.  If you have any leftovers they should be stored covered in the fridge. Enjoy!

Excerpts and More

Throughout the 20th century, electricity was considered to be the primary vehicle of modernity, as well as its quintessential symbol. In India, electrification was central to how early nationalists and planners conceptualized Indian development, and huge sums were spent on the project from then until now. Yet despite all this, sixty-five years after independence nearly 400 million Indians have no access to electricity. Electrifying India explores the political and historical puzzle of uneven development in India's vital electricity sector.

In some states, nearly all citizens have access to electricity, while in others fewer than half of households have reliable electricity. To help explain this variation, this book offers both a regional and a historical perspective on the politics of electrification of India as it unfolded in New Delhi and three Indian states: Maharashtra, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. In those parts of the countryside that were successfully electrified in the decades after independence, the gains were due to neither nationalist idealism nor merely technocratic plans, but rather to the rising political influence and pressure of rural constituencies. In looking at variation in how public utilities expanded over a long period of time, this book argues that the earlier period of an advancing state apparatus from the 1950s to the 1980s conditioned in important ways the manner of the state's retreat during market reforms from the 1990s onward.

About the author

Sunila Kale is an Assistant Professor at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington.

"[Electrifying India] is thoroughly researched and does a fine job of demonstrating why the task of electrifying India remains an unfinished business . . . Highly recommended."

—A. A. Batabyal, CHOICE

"Electrifying India presents new research findings that make a significant contribution to current literature. The argument is novel and important. It addresses literature of specific relevance to India, and to the politics of development in particular, but it also speaks to larger questions related to the role of historical trajectories in explaining the ability of governments to adjust to market-oriented economic policy regimes."

—Rob Jenkins, Professor of Political Science, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York

"Why does the power go on and then off again in so much of India? Sunila Kale's book shows why the states that embraced electrification in the 1950s and 1960s, prodded by their farmers, are laggards today, and why the 'late developers' have embraced changes in the power market that are now transforming India."

—Steven Wilkinson, Nilekani Professor of India and South Asian Studies, Yale University

"As any practitioner will tell you, the Indian electricity sector is heavily shaped, and impeded, by complex politics and flawed institutions. It is surprising, then, that there is such a paucity of quality work on the politics of Indian electricity. Sunila Kale's important new book, Electrifying India, goes a long way to filling this vacuum. Drawing together material from the historical record, central policy-processes, and a detailed examination of the track record in three states, Kale weaves a compelling and nuanced narrative on the past and present of Indian electricity, with important lessons for its future."

—Navroz K. Dubash, Senior Fellow, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi, India

"This clearly and engagingly written book adds substantially to our understanding of the process of economic reform in India—and to the comparative analysis of political regimes across Indian states. It should be of great interest to researchers and students of comparative politics and political economy."

—John Harriss, Professor of International Studies, Simon Fraser University

Exclusive One on One Interview with Enrique Gil

For the Benefit of those who missed this Exclusive 15-Minute Video Interview of Enrique Gil; I'm posting it again! Enjoy!

Enrique is one of the hottest celebrities we have today. I visited him on the of 'Budoy' in Antipolo. During break-time he was dancing 'Teach me How to Douggie' with the other stars to the tune of Butchikik! That's the reason I used that song towards the end when he gave a sample of his famous dance steps.

Cool Program: FEMA’s High Water Mark Initiative

by Matt Gove

FEMA's High Water Mark Initiative is a simple but powerful program that educates communities about the exact height of past flooding by placing signs marking high water levels at specific geographic spots. Projects can refer to riverine or coastal flooding.

Interested communities partner with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), signing a Memorandum of Understanding agreeing to build awareness through communication efforts, as well as complete mitigation actions to build community resilience against future flooding. As of 2016, the program has successfully launched in 37 communities around the United States.

Although flooding is the costliest and most common natural disaster in the United States, many people are unaware of the risks they are taking when they decide where to live. In a recent FEMA survey, 90% of respondents did not believe flooding was the primary hazard their communities faced.

To address this education and communication challenge, FEMA created the High Water Mark Initiative to help improve the public’s awareness of flood risks and encourage communities to take long-term action to mitigate those risks.

This program is a great opportunity for Surfrider chapters to engage their local governments in community resiliency issues. Participation in this program is a relatively simple, and straightforward step that citizens can take to fortify their communities, homes, and livelihoods for the next storm.

Some additional details on the program can be found here. Please contact for the East Coast and for the West Coast if you are interested!

cool weather is coming {chrissy's socks}

I simply cannot believe that August is almost over! School is back in session and all of the fun Summer activities we look forward to every year have come and gone. I'm not complaining though…. I LOVE Fall. And no, not because of football (obviously).

Fall means flow-y sweaters, jackets, boots and layering. And I am all about it. All I have to say is Nebraska… PLEASE let us have a real Fall! Last year we basically went from 75 to -5 degrees and the "Fall" went so quickly because of it.

So, speaking of Fall, I have always been a very "cold" person. Not in the way you are thinking! I mean I am simply always cold! My husband keeps our house quite chilly, and while I have adapted considerably, you can still find me sporting a sweatshirt in the Summer to stay comfortable in here!

Another favorite way to stay comfortable? Knee socks!

Tell me it isn't the perfect way to stay warm when you are wanting to be cozy at home? And what's better than being warm? How about being warm AND stylin' all in one?! Enter: Chrissy's Socks!

You guys, I had an absolute blast browsing through their selection and it was incredibly hard to pick a few pairs without buying their whole inventory. For instance… check these out. How fun would these be to wear with boots this Fall? And they are even on sale right now!

I love throwing on my knee socks after I shower and shave. What better way to stay warm and cozy and enjoy a little downtime? Even my dog loves Chrissy's Socks

If you are in the market for knee or thigh high socks, you must check them out. Chrissy's Socks are made in the USA, super high quality and always free shipping! And did I mention they do custom orders? You can even get your own logo or a team name printed on them.

All of that being said, there is simply no shortage of variety.

There's a style out there for everyone!

You can also check them out on:

A big thanks to Chrissy's Socks for hooking me up with the cutest pairs of socks to get cozy in this Fall!

  1. How cute are these socks?! Loving all the fun designs, especially the patriotic ones. Perfect for the Olympics and summer holidays <3

    1. I didn't even think about that!! So fun! Thanks!

  2. How adorable! I'm getting excited for fall!

lash extensions {a dream come true}

I am so excited to be writing this post - for several reasons. ONE… because I have been completely off the map lately, and TWO… this is probably the most excited I've been about a post in a while. If you follow along at Sweet and Modern, you know I love trying out new products and bringing my favorite reviews to my readers.

I've mentioned before that I've been dying to hop on the lash extension train, but wasn't sure if it was an affordable habit that I could keep up. Fast forward, and I found out that Tara @ Serenity Skincare is now doing lash extensions! Tara did my pre-wedding facial and also hooked me up with my current skincare line, TAO Organics (you can read more about that here!) In short, I trusted her with my lashes!

The biggest appeal for me in getting eyelash extensions was to cut back on getting ready time, as well as looking (effortlessly) like I had put on make up. I am pretty sure every woman can relate to that! During my consultation with Tara, we discussed that mascara is not needed with lash extensions. In fact, it is discouraged as to lengthen the life of your lashes. Seriously, when was the last time you felt like you could go out without mascara on? For me, I draw the line at quick errands and working out. Otherwise, mascara is a staple. It makes me feel human, awake, and put together. So the thought of not applying it every morning? Yeah…super appealing.

I admit, as much as I love a dramatic eye, I was a little nervous that I was going to roll out of my appointment looking like a Kardashian. Granted, sometimes there are occasions where this would be great! But for everyday work life, it's not really the look I am going for. Also, if you've ever had a bad experience with strip lashes, the though of having something semi permanent on your eyelashes can be daunting. Rest assured, having eye lash extensions is NOTHING like wearing fake eyelashes!

Tara assured me that she would be doing a classic set on me. This means that there would be no volume enhancements, and it would simply be a lash for lash extension. The extensions are silk, light, and natural feeling. They are black, therefore they are able to darken up your current lashes as is. I was so impressed with Tara's knowledge of this art. It completely blows my mind how tedious it is, yet how easy she made it seem! (Note: there are options for volume with lash extensions)

A full set took about 2 hours long. I couldn't believe how fast the time flew by! It was painless... and the hardest part was laying on the table for 2 hours (which I really didn't mind…forced relaxation). Tara kept me up to date on my progress and explained what she was doing the whole time. In case anyone is wondering, your eyes are closed the entire time. No scary tools coming at your eyeballs!

As the time dwindled down, I was getting super excited to see my lashes! At the end, Tara made sure my lashes were combed out and in mint condition before I could see them. Here is my before and after shot…

And here is a photo several days later!

And… I'm not wearing mascara. Which is my favorite part!  :)

It is safe to say that I am obsessed with having the extensions. I haven't worn mascara in days…which has literally cut at least 10 minutes out of my routine in the morning. The lashes are super easy to maintain (Tara gives you brushes, cleaning supplies and detailed aftercare instructions) and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

Which brings me to this… I am SO ecstatic that Tara has decided to extend the most amazing special to Sweet and Modern readers. From October 3-31st, readers can book a classic full set PLUS a 2 week fill for $110! Ladies…this is a crazy good deal. A standard full set is regularly $135 and a 45 minute fill is $45. If you've been dying to try lash extensions, now is the time!

To book for a full lash extension set, contact Tara on her Facebook page and mention that you would like to book a full set under the Sweet and Modern special. You can also contact her by phone at (402) 215-7288.
A BIG thank you to Tara for giving me such a wonderful first experience…and even more for offering readers this amazing deal!

And to all of my readers, it feels great to be back in the blogging world! :)

Serenity Skincare by Tara is located inside Salon DeMarco (Gretna, NE)
$110 must be paid at the time of the full set and fill must be scheduled at that time as well

  1. I have been dreaming lately about getting lash extensions! They look great.

    1. Stephanie, me too ! It was totally worth it :)

  2. Wow these look awesome! The thought of two hours on a table sounds so relaxing to me!

  3. LOVE them! So glad you finally decided on getting them...SO nice to save on mascara. Seriously such a great price too!

  4. Wow those are so pretty! I don't think there's anything prettier than long lashes. Gorgeous!

  5. Ahhh!! Love that you did this! One of my staff members just had them done as a birthday present to herself and I'm obsessed. Seriously. I could NOT stop talking about them when we were at a conference a couple weeks ago. I definitely think it's worth trying, I just wish I loved close to you so I could take advantage of your safe referral!!

    1. Ahhh I wish you did too, it's such a great deal! Hopefully you can find something in your area :) I love it!

  6. They look amazing!!! I might have to make an appt...if I can convince the hubs!!!!

Spring Vacation -- Boston

We're in Boston for Spring vacation. After the Mother Nature delay of storms in Houston, we decided to go home and fly out on Saturday morning. Seemed like a better plan than waiting it out at the Omaha airport, the Houston airport and potentially arriving in Boston at 3:00 am.

Instead we had a 3:00 am wake-up call for a 5:30 am flight arriving in Boston for lunch. Or a late lunch. We hit the ground running, caught the T and met Mike & Stacey in Harvard for margarita's and more at the Border Cafe. A walking tour of Harvard following by a stroll through Boston Common, the Public Garden and finishing off the night with a beer at Cheers (really named Bull & Fitch).

Stay tuned for more updates on Day 2

Arcola Theatre offering commission opportunity for new BAMER playwright

For any new playwright, getting the space and support to put on a professional play is tough. For those from Britain’s black, Asian, minority ethnic and refugee (BAMER) communities, it can be harder still.

East London’s award-wining Arcola Theatre has a reputation for staging plays from the UK’s diverse communities, including British Turks via its Arcola Ala-Turka theatre group. Locally engaged and internationally minded theatre, the Arcola offers a platform for “artistically adventurous, radical theatre”, holding a mirror to the UK’s ever-changing culture and society.

The Dalston-based theatre has teamed up with The Orseis Trust to co-commission a talented and committed playwright from a traditionally underrepresented background, to develop an original work for Arcola’s main stage. Both organisations appreciate that BAMER writers, including those who’ve made a successful debut, struggle to get new commissions due to the lack of diversity at decision-making levels, which inadvertently closes the door to a whole raft of exciting new talent and ideas.

Working together, Arcola and The Orseis Trust hope to play a significant part in helping to usher in a new generation of exciting writers.

Artistic Director Mehmet Ergen said: “The Orseis Trust / Arcola Theatre Co-Commission is a perfect extension of our new writing programme PlayWROUGHT, which has so far brought four new plays on to our stages, and our artist development facility ArcolaLAB, which supports BAMER artists and theatre makers all year round. We want to support writers who have already found a way to get their early work out into the world, and who want to take a step up – to tell big stories on our largest stage, and to the widest audience possible.”

Mehmet Ergen. Photo © BBC

The co-commission is open to any BAMER writer who is over the age of 18, and has been based in the UK for at least two years, and who has had at least one but no more than three professional stage productions in the UK. In addition, to qualify for consideration, they should not have had any previous paid full-length play commission.

It can be an original idea or an adaptation. The successful applicant will have access to the resources and expertise in Arcola’s existing new writing programmes (including R&D space, dramaturgy and readings), and one-to-one mentorship by Arcola’s Artistic Director Mehmet Ergen to support the development of the play.

Deadline for applications is 19 September 2017. Visit the Arcola website for more details about the scheme, selection criteria and process, and how to formally submit an application.

A Welsh mum

‘Very helpful.  I feel much more confident.’

A Yorkshire dad

‘Always step back for a moment and try to negotiate.’

An Oxfordshire mum and dad

‘The sessions made ideas a lot clearer, and helped you identify areas that you’re good at and ones that you need to be stronger with. Helped me to be calmer and give the children opportunities to do things for themselves.  I learnt to listen… giving time for children to reply, giving children choices and consequences, discipline, working as a family.’

‘I learnt to be more relaxed and patient with the children.  Their mum and I are more relaxed, the children are more relaxed and happy.’

A Welsh mum

‘I found it very useful and thanks to you things are improving slowly and I feel that I understand my teenager more.’

A Nottinghamshire mum

‘I now control the way I talk to my kids.’

An Oxfordshire dad

‘I enjoy talking with people.  Great ideas, loads of feedback, great ways to deal with problems and we all help each other which is great.’

A Yorkshire dad

‘I think I’ll be a better person to talk to now.’

Lawrence Kelly - Learning and Development Manager, Core Assets, FOSTER CARE ASSOCIATES

‘Foster Care Associates, part of the Core Assets Group, has used the Take 3 parenting materials in a number of areas of the UK since 2010.  The materials have been used with small groups of Foster Carers to re-focus attention on the needs of adolescents and to reinforce the importance of positive attention, listening, relationships and providing a secure base. Although the materials are written primarily for birth parents and family carers we have found that they are easily transferable to the foster care setting.  The materials have helped colleagues to see the behaviour of teenagers in a new light and adjust their parenting strategies as a consequence. The materials meet the needs of a wide range of learners and contain a great variety of activities and strategies.  No matter how much experience carers have they benefit from this refreshing and comprehensive guide to building positive relationships with teenagers.’

Saving Duke

Posted in: Di's diary6 Comments

Is it just me or has anyone else had a bad couple of weeks?  I am still deeply affected by the whole Live Export saga and feel no better for the Government’s temporary suspension of the trade of live cattle to Indonesia. But I will not go into that for the moment, only to say that I keep having this ridiculous feeling that I want to collect all of the animals that we abuse and go and live on some other world with them and other likeminded individuals. I have an overwhelming sense that we have lost our way, that as a species we have evolved to a position of great power but that development has not been matched by a growth in compassion, kindness or empathy. We think we are entitled to take what we want, at any cost to any other species. That animals are there, only to serve us and our needs and we blindly disregard their pain, their suffering and their rights.

The past two or three weeks have been a blur. Home responsibilities, the animals, work and the sense of desperation I feel, have meant that I have had to prioritise and focus on what is really important. Checks on homework have been sporadic (much to the kid’s delight) and housework has slipped off the scale into total oblivion. It seems that at the start of each week, I set myself a goal of ‘getting through the week’. One thing I didn’t count on this week though was losing Duke.

Duke is our 26 year old thoroughbred. He is a retired Police Horse and has been living here for nearly two years. Duke has always been a high maintenance horse. He requires more food than any of the other horses and has had the vet called on two previous occasions – colic and a foot abscess. Amazingly the other three horses have never been sick. In the past week we have called the vet for Duke a further two times.

It started a few weeks ago with a dramatic loss of weight. I noticed that Summer was eating her food and then going over and finishing off most of his. That in itself should have been a warning sign as he always stands up for himself but suddenly was content to share his food with her. I started locking him in a yard and increasing his rations in an attempt to put the weight back on him. Then last weekend I took off his rug and noticed that his coat was covered in dried sweat. I thought back and tried to pinpoint a day when it had been hot and could have caused this but was perplexed, it had been cold all week. I thought maybe he had been running around one day as he is highly strung and tends to get worked up about things so I thought no more about it. Then on Monday morning he was weak and had trouble walking in a straight line and I called the vet. She took blood and left me antibiotics and an amino acid supplement which I started him on. When the blood results came back I found out that his white blood cell count was high although his liver and kidney enzymes were normal, which was good news as one of the things that the vet suspected was renal failure. I continued with the antibiotics and supplements and wormed him again as although it had only been ten weeks since his last worming I had used the same brand of wormer the last couple of times and sometimes they build up an immunity to it. He seems to pick up slowly and my hopes were raised but then Wednesday night he went down while I was at work. My friend Margaret was feeding the animals for me and medicating Duke. Thanks to her and another friend Dimity, they managed to get him up on his feet and call the vet. I got home and spoke with the vet who told me gravely that he was an old horse and that it was likely that he wouldn’t recover. That he would probably go down again in the next couple of days and that I would need to consider euthanizing him. I agreed with him but said that the fact that he was still eating gave me hope that he hadn’t given up and that I couldn’t either.

Kelsea and Kitty, Duke and I ( and Alana) about to go for a ride.

Kelsea and Kitty, Duke and I ( and Alana) about to go for a ride.

I have an overwhelming feeling that Duke deserves more time. He served the public for most of his life as a police horse, working the beat, being used in riots and providing demonstrations at shows and events. Two years has not been a long enough retirement. He is content here and he loves going for quiet leisurely rides through the Blue Mountains with Summer. He has no demands placed on him and is happy to just be and relax. But I am aware that his needs and his comfort come first and would make the difficult decision if he gave me the sign.

In the past couple of days I have really come to understand the significance of the phrase ‘one day at a time’ for that is what it has been like. He hasn’t gone down again and seems (dare I saw it) to be marginally stronger. He will go onto his second course of antibiotics tomorrow and is still eating but the bitter cold is a factor that I cannot control. It drops well below zero here at night, even during the day it is freezing.

All of the other animals are well except we have had trouble with Kitty and a stone bruise to one of her feet which has taken a long time to heal. I am dumbfounded as to how this happened as none of the paddocks have any rocks in them – a fact that the farrier also commented on. But our tough little mite is doing okay although has the opposite problem to Duke, she is still terribly fat despite the onset of winter. Obesity is a big problem in ponies (although it is dangerous in all horses) as it can cause them to founder. So Kitty is on strict rations and hopefully now her foot is healed we can start exercising her again.

The other animals are all well. Simon and Patch continue to make their presence felt loud and clear. They greet me enthusiastically every time they see me and jump up on me like a dog. I don’t know how I will cope when they are fully grown and weigh 70 to 100 kilos! I was ecstatic to finally get the photo I have been trying to get, last weekend. As you can see it shows their true beauty and gives a hint of their wonderful, mischievous personalities. I hope you like it as much as I do.

True beauty

True beauty

I cannot finish this post without mentioning our wonderful dog Marlee. Throughout all of this he has never left my side. He has gazed at me with unfailing confidence and unshakable faith. If only I could borrow just a little of his faith.

    Hello Di-dee,
    DON’T lose faith. Duke could not have found a better place for his twilight years. I hope he isn’t suffering too much, and that it is at least less than yours.
    And we as a species have not “lost” our way. We are exploring new ways. Don’t forget Maslow’s hierarchy. It’s hard to value anything beyond your own level on the hierarchy, and MOST of the world is still on level 1, where their primary daily concerns are for food and shelter. We could improve our society much more quickly if we could eradicate drugs and provide free birth control around the world to reduce the pressure on resources and build EVERYONE’s wealth. Yet despite people’s fixation with trinkets, and the delusion that STUFF can bring happiness, I can see slowly, slowly, society IS changing – for the better. And people like yourself help.
    Lots of love,
    Shona xxx

    Hey Di,
    I think everyone is going through tremendous upheaval and change in their lives right now. They say that a change is as good as a holiday and everyone would like a holiday from the mundane daily tasks we must go through. Hopefully this change will be for the better.
    As for Duke, it’s not the quantity of life but the quality of life, and you have provided the best quality of life Duke has ever known. He would never have found a better place to live out his days. I remember when he first arrived at your place, and how he was nervous being in the wide open spaces, and how he loved being able to wander around and nibble at the endless grass beneath his feet. He would never have experienced that if you hadn’t opened your home and your heart to him. I admire your courage, fortitude and determination to succeed in doing what you want in life. Don’t lose track of your dreams. Keep the faith that someone out there is listening. This blog is proof that you are getting other people to listen and think about animals in the same way you do.
    love Margaret xxx

  3. Diana said on 10/06/2011 at 9:32 am

    Thank you Shona and Margaret. You have reminded me how many good people I am fortunate enough to know. Maybe I should focus on you guys instead of the other people!
    And thank you Margaret for helping Duke when I wasn’t there. My animals are also very lucky to know you!
    I really appreciate what you are saying Shona except that I think back to the 80/ 20 rule where 20% of the world’s population consumes 80% of it’s resources. And the fact that abuse and cruelty to animals is not confined to developing nations – those on the bottom rungs of Maslow’s hierarchy. In fact it seems that as a nation becomes more affluent so does the level of cruelty that they inflict and tolerate. If you look at Australia – we still condone battery cages, sow stalls and other intensive practices- not because of any basic food need but so that a handful of companies can make mega profits. Live export is the same – most of the properties are not family farms but huge corporations with millions of hectares and thousands of head at stake. So I am not really sure that as wealth increases so will animal welfare. But as always Shona, I so admire discussing with you!

    Last winter Oggie survived the cold with an injury and came home to those who loved him. Duke is surrounded by love too and no matter how many hours, days, months or years he lives in this world he knows that he is loved.
    Not able to write much as I need to sleep but I remember the tale of the 100th monkey. Here is a link to some discussion about this
    I believe positive change happens so slowly it can seem to have stalled or reversed. Progress is not uniform nor steady but as bad as things can seem we must never give up. Helen keller said
    “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

    Love you my treasure

    Di – the photo of the piggies is fabulous!
    We’re very sorry to hear about Duke. Lucky man to have had you to care for him.

  6. sue lobsey said on 21/06/2011 at 2:22 am

    Sorry to hear about Duke, he was a very lucky horse to have you Diana, I know you would of done all you can. Love the piggie shot, those noses are just gorgeous, I can’t wait to see them again.

Beckham launches dress collection at Fashion Week NYC

Victoria Beckham was not only the posh spice but her clothes are pretty posh themselves. Reflecting her own sense of style and love of sleek sillouettes she daybeud her line at NY Fashion Week (now called Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week- which I still forget to call it!) in front of a more low-key small audience. ALeqM5jCp2Ybgd-hYMeayBQQYtfdNw1NbgALeqM5h-HuGQWhrKAf_5n70zbk2R-h1GAQALeqM5gRprF4z4ykEg0hU2T8PRh440BpTAALeqM5gVPGE9fbiSAKPOw3DECR31u8GBzA

You can see her own personal style in every piece as its almost like she just did it for herself (which I believe she told another reporter she did).  All these celebs using their own cash and fame to start their own brands and put their names on shoes, etc makes me with it was so easy for me to do the same, sigh.  There are certain celebs style I could care less for but despite all the attention she gets from the press I must say I appreciate her designs as I believe she truly does view fashion as a form of her own personal expression and not as a way to put her name on something and sell millions to a mass market of wannabes (no judgment, just saying).  So the real question I have is: when is the Mary Kate and Ashley Collection coming out? (Serious, I love those twinsies sense of style)

Stay Sassy,

Amid chaos, Bulls slide up to No. 5

After another upside-down weekend in which 11 ranked teams lost, USF was able to rise in the polls again, jumping to No. 5 in both rankings.

USF (5-0) moved up one spot in the AP rankings to No. 5, and the Bulls are only seven vote-points behind No. 4 Boston College, a margin that could easily flip-flop in next week's poll. After being No. 9 in last week's coaches poll, the Bulls jumped up into a tie with Oklahoma for fifth. The Bulls, after a close win against Florida Atlantic, are now the highest ranked state team in both polls and the top-ranked team in the Big East.

With Rutgers losing to Cincinnati on Saturday, the undefeated Bearcats -- 15th in the AP and 17th in the coaches -- are the only ranked team left on USF's schedule. Rutgers has enough vote-points to be an official 32nd in the AP poll, just two spots ahead of undefeated (and largely unproven) Connecticut.

As far as other state schools, Florida dropped to 13th (14th in the coaches' rankings) after a close loss at No. 1 LSU, and Florida State rejoined both top 25s at No. 21 after beating N.C. State. Miami and Central Florida, who had received votes last week, did not get a single vote after losing to North Carolina and East Carolina, respectively.

-- Driving by the Sun Dome at about 1:20 p.m., I could see the line of students waiting in line for USF-UCF tickets wrapped halfway around the arena. USF had asked that the line started forming at 2 p.m., but hundreds of fans had a solid head start on that. Tickets weren't scheduled to be distributed until 6 p.m., but look for USF to start that process much earlier rather than making students wait all afternoon.

-- With 20 ranked teams losing in the last two weeks, USF now has the nation's third-longest win streak at seven games. Only LSU (13) and Cincinnati (9) have longer streaks, and the Bulls are tied with Boston College, Hawaii and California at seven straight wins.

Tyra Banks won't say why Janice Dickinson and Paulina Porizkova were fired

While you were agog at yet another season of ludicrous narcissism in the latest cycle of America's Next Top Model on Wednesday night (you know, when you should have been watching President Barack Obama address Congress), you may have missed the fireworks between Tyra Banks and Cynthia McFadden on ABC's Nightline later on. You can't expect us to learn about health care and watch a newsmagazine in the same night, can you?

"Both Paulina Porizkova and Janice Dickinson, when they left the show, were not very nice about you," McFadden said, mispronouncing the former's name as "Paula Porvikova," thus proving she was qualified to conduct the interview. The pregnant pause was filled only with Tyra smiling with her eyes and saying nothing.

"Let's not go there," Tyra's publicist Lisa Israel said. "I am going to go there," McFadden replied. "I am going to ask that question." Watch it above, starting around the 1:30 mark.

Unfortunately, she got no answer, as it faded to an audition in New York in which hopefuls were seen nearly rioting (although Nightline failed to mention it was because a car backfiring prompted a panic over an alleged bombing). And really, who cares that Janice was fired after Cycle 4 for being a diva and Paulina got the boot on her birthday after last season? Ty Ty shares the spotlight with no one!

The New RE:center

We believe there is a solution . . . Imagine a community center where people can come and recenter their lives in a more positive direction . . .

A welcoming atmosphere for our entire community. Not just for church partners.

Though this operation is led by theCHURCH, it is not exclusive to those who are Christians. We love to help everyone. We welcome all people from all backgrounds without pushing any religious agenda. Christ-centered faith is an option and the basis of our framework, but not a requirement for participants.

Coffee shop. Leadership Training. Daily gatherings. Event center. Counseling center. Prayer Room.

A computer room. Job training and consistent workshops from local business owners. A re-entry program for people coming out of the prison systems. Resources for the homeless. Life skills workshops (car maintenance, home economics, music skills, etc). Youth programs. Work ethics programs.

A commitment to making our community better. A strong financial investment. Owning roots into our community.

In our community we have a lot of pain, unwise decisions, and country-wide problems, affecting every sector on our mountain. People need resources and guidance to begin a new, more stable, lifestyle.

Expanded opportunities. A place for corporate growth. Space for personal growth. More physical space.

We can only accomplish so much in the building we currently operate out of. We have simply grown out of space and we must expand. At our current location we can only hold one workshop at a time and our resources are limited. Therefore we have purchased this building. A 10,000 square foot space that can accommodate up to 250 people. Our total finished price is $495,000.

Invest in our vision to see hope, healing, and inspiration for others by giving to our building fund!

Southampton announce capture of Morocco winger Boufal

Date published: Monday 29th August 2016 12:17

Sofiane Boufal: Joins Saints for record fee

Southampton have confirmed the signing of Sofiane Boufal for a club-record undisclosed fee, believed to be £16million.

The attacking midfielder, who has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at St Mary’s, joins from Ligue 1 outfit Lille.

The Moroccan international enjoyed a hugely successful year and a half with Lille; becoming one of the most highly-rated youngsters in France after moving from Angers in January 2015.

Speaking about his arrival at St Mary’s, Boufal said: “I’m very, very happy to sign for Southampton and I am really excited to play in St Mary’s Stadium in front of the fans.

“Southampton showed big interest in signing me, and I can see that this club is the best place for me to continue my progression as a footballer.

“I hope I can achieve many great things with Southampton. It is a very good club, with excellent facilities, and I feel it is the perfect environment to continue my development.”

Boufal, 22, made 34 appearances during his first full season at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, scoring 12 goals in all competitions as Lille finished fifth in Ligue 1 and reached the final of the Coupe de la Ligue.

Executive Director of Football at Southampton, Les Reed, said: “I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Sofiane to Southampton Football Club.

“He has shown his undoubted qualities in France over the past few seasons, and we are extremely confident he will successfully adapt to life in the Premier League.

“Sofiane is a player we have watched develop closely over the last few years, and we’re thrilled to have him join the club ahead of what promises to be a very exciting season, with Europa League football on the horizon.

“Saints fans may have to wait for a few weeks yet to see him demonstrate his skills, as Sofiane had a delayed start to his pre-season training and will be working very hard with our fitness staff to get up to full match fitness.

Benefits of Green IT

0 7

Green IT stands for Green information Technology. Using the green IT we can save our environment.  It contains two things:

  1. Minimize the negative impact of information technology on the environment.
  2. Use the information technology to help solve environmental issues.

As we can see that technology in our lives help us to everything to in almost all fields. We know one thing that any inventions have advantage and disadvantage the same thing the technology you using to reduce your time and want accuracy in your work, it is enhancing the global warming.  These technologies are made of chemicals, heavy metals and synthetic materials. When these items are destroyed it makes lot of pollution and effect on our environment. The Green IT is the way to find and reduce the negative of IT on the environment. So first see Your computer it  is contains one kilogram of lead and veritable cocktails of chemicals including antimony, arsenic, boron, phosphor, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and hydrogen fluoride to name a few.

A typical desktop computer uses 868 kW of electricity per year. And practically every

Company in the developed world has a computer of some sort. Many organizations have

Thousands of computers. Do you know what happened when these are finished, you sold them and they are burnt and they produce a large amount of Air Pollution, some calculation are given below.

For example a major bank in Australia has 20,000 computers.

If we calculate the carbon emissions from 20,000 computers using 868 kW of electricity each

Year, it equals 12,467 metric tons of CO2. This much CO2 is equivalent to the:

– Annual greenhouse gas emissions from 2,384 passenger vehicles.

– CO2 emissions from 28,994 barrels of oil consumed.

– CO2 emissions from the electricity use of 1,619 homes for one year.

– Carbon sequestered by 2,658 acres of pine or fir forests.

As above figure so we can say that we are participating to increase global warming and having a good percentage as compare to other industries. If we all are think and do as Green IT says then the figurecan be down and the ratio of global warming can be effect.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is little harder to visualize. Essentially though energy efficiency Is all about making computer and related technology both reduce the amount of electricity they use and utilize electricity more effectively.

It is very important because the production of energy through the coal fired plants generates green house gas emissions, most of which is CO2 and green house gas emissions are believed to be a major cause of global warming, through the green house gases global warming enhance make the major changes on the environment.

Using Technology to Help Solve Environmental Issues

Apart of technology causing some environmental issues. It is also have best tools that are available to human race to help us to understand how we can fix environmental issue.

If we go through the procedure then we can save energy and also reduce the amount of pollution and definitely we can see the changes in the environment. Today’s technology is in every fields then how can be possible that technology is not reducing the pollution and this is the way to reduce the pollution.

Some facts:

By turning off your desktop at night for one whole year, you could save enough energy to

  • run your clock radio for more than 1,300 weeks
  • to make yourself more than 9,200 bags of microwave popcorn
  • to wash over 460 loads of clothing
  • to use your blow dryer for over 5,500 hours
  • to vacuum your house for more than 460 hours
  • to produce over 3,400 plastic bags
  • to run your microwave continuously for a week
  • to boil your kettle for all day for 268 days straight

For the company and individuals, there are some easy actions that they can to reduce their energy

  • Turning off computer, games console and TV when they are not in use.
  • Setting up your computer after 15 minute of inactivity.
  • Buy and use a laptop instead of a desktop computer. Laptops only use 190kW (average) of electricity per year.
