    17 Valentine's Day Presents That Don't Cost An Arm And A Leg

    🎵 "My love don't cost a thing." 🎵

    We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

    Valentine's Day is right around the corner! And that means a lot of pressure to find the right thing to show your love. Fortunately for you, we’ll be flooding our pages with gift guides this coming week, so keep an eye out for more here.

    1. This Q&A a day journal that will give them the gift of memory — aka remembering how thoughtful and wonderful you are.

    This journal basically works by dedicating each page to a day of the year — and when the new year comes around, you start from day one again. You continue to answer the same question for five years, so that you can see how your answers have changed and how much you've grown.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $21.71.

    2. This limited edition Hug Mug from Max Brenner that will make your Valentine feel like you're giving them a warm hug each time they use it.

    Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

    If you've ever had a warm bev from Max Brenner before, you'll know how snuggly and comforting it is to drink from a hug mug. What makes this guy even better is the adorable illustration that will have your soulmate thinking of you every time they get their caffeine or hot choccy fix.

    Buy it from Max Brenner for $18.

    3. And these delicious Max Brenner pralines that will leave the sweetest taste in their mouth.

    Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

    These pralines are not only absolutely delicious — I'm talking peanut butter fillings, sea salt seasoning, white chocolate with cashews, among other flavours — but they're so gorgeous, you almost won't want to eat them. But you will because it's chocolate.

    Buy it from Max Brenner for $18.

    4. This picnic kit so that you can go on romantic park dates that don't involve fast food and a goon sack.

    This picnic tote contains four cutlery sets, four wine glasses, salt and pepper shakers, four dinner plates, a wine opener, a cheese knife and a cheese board, which means you'll be all set for your ~classy~ couples picnic.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $42.45.

    5. This wine decanter, which will make any and all kinds of wines taste like the stuff rich people keep in the cellar.

    All they have to do is pour the wine through this device and it expedites the ~breathing~ process, which means they won't have to wait forever to get their fix of red.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $18.99.

    6. This tongue-in-cheek soap by Lush which is literally the most adorable thing ever.

    Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

    Instead of texting your main the peach emoji, give them a physical version IRL and watch the magic happen. This cheeky soap is packed with fresh peach juice, grapefruit oil, Havana oil and Elemi oil so it'll get you clean without drying out your skin. Plus, it smells absolutely phenomenal. You can also get an eggplant shaped soap, as well as the two in bath bomb varieties.

    Buy it from Lush for $13.95.

    7. And if you're planning on getting them more than one thing, wrap them in a Lush knot wrap which is eco friendly and gorgeous in its own right.

    This cotton wrap is guaranteed to smell amazing because of the Lush products that have lived in it, but it will also look fantastic tied around the handle of their favourite bag.

    Buy it from Lush for $10.

    8. This Fire TV Stick that plugs into their TV, so they can watch as much Amazon Prime Video and Netflix as their heart desires.

    Amazon, BBC

    When you give this gift, you're basically giving the gift of binge-watching and you just know that will be immediately appreciated. They can use the Fire Stick to watch Amazon Prime Video, Netflix (and chill— lol), Stan and Disney+. Plus, they can even use it to listen to tunes on Amazon Music or Spotify.

    Buy it for $69 on Amazon Australia.

    9. This Fenty Beauty Stunna liquid lipstick, which is perfect if your partner loves a lippy, but you hate having it all over your face after making out with them.

    @assunta_palladino / Via

    This lipstick could probably be considered magic. After they apply it in the morning, they're unlikely to reapply all day. Plus, unlike many other matte lipsticks, their lips will remain soft and supple — just the way you like them.

    Buy it from Sephora Australia for $39.

    10. These 100% bamboo pillowcases that absorb moisture, meaning if your Valentine sweats A LOT, this will be their new favourite possession and you will receive a LOT of praise.

    These pillowcases are hypoallergenic and super soft. They're also breathable and thermoregulating, meaning they won't have to do the pillow flip manoeuvre in the middle of the night.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $17.89.

    11. This Ussies photo album, which is basically a tangible Instagram feed dedicated to your ~love connection~.

    This book contains prompts so you're inspired to use photos relating to the adorable captions. Honestly, it's so cute that it makes me a little sick.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $5.92.

    12. These his and hers matching passport covers, which are perfect if you're the kind of couple who jet sets around the world together.

    These are also also great if your S.O. doesn't take care of their passport because it keeps the super important document tucked away, yet super accessible.

    Buy the set from Amazon Australia for $7.08.

    13. This fondue set because we all know that fondue is the most romantic and the most sexiest of all foods.

    This set comes with a ceramic bowl, a metal stand for the bowl, four fondue forks and a tea light candle to get the melty goodness going.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $29.95.

    14. This schmick AF toiletry bag that not only has super helpful pockets for organising, but is lightweight, meaning it won't take up half of their baggage allowance.

    This bag is made from durable and waterproof PVC, so they don't have to worry about their luggage getting ruined, should their shampoo bottle explode. It also features one leak-proof main pocket, three allocated inner mesh pockets, two side pockets and one large outer pocket.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $38.50.

    15. This zodiac necklace that will prove to your main that you acknowledge and respect their sun sign.

    If your Valentine is super into astrology, there's no way that they won't appreciate this gift. With a quick Google, you could even pair it with a handwritten card outlining your compatibility, which is sure to please. These necklaces are made from sterling silver, so they'll shine bright for years to come.

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $12.99.

    16. This Tile Mate device, because as much as you love your Valentine, you probably don't like their habit of losing their keys.

    Amazon, Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

    They can connect this tile to their phone via Bluetooth and it'll allow them to immediately discover where their keys have gotten to — and if they can't find their phone and have their keys, they can double tap the button on the tile to get their phone to ring!

    Buy it from Amazon Australia for $39.95.

    17. And finally, this ~arty~ tote bag from Redbubble, which is equal parts gorgeous and useful.

    This bag features one of the sweetest and most interesting love artworks I've ever seen by Gustav Klimt — and I'm sure your babe will appreciate it just as much as I do. Plus, they'll remember you every time they use it to carry their books or groceries.

    Buy it from Redbubble for $25.35.

    Your wallet after Valentine's Day because you didn't go ham and your S.O. still loves you:

    16 Everyday Pieces From Madewell That Reviewers Truly Love

    These aren't ~regular~ basics; they're ~cool~ basics.

    We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

    1. Slip-on sneakers made of recycled canvas so you always have a pair of easy-to-wear shoes that match a ton of things in your closet — and get a lil' save-the-world-with-sustainable-fashion action while you're at it. 🌎

    The sneakers also have MWL Cloudlift insoles for a super comfy wear experience. Your feet are going to thank you for these babies.

    Promising review: "I had my eye on these for a while for all my (now canceled) spring and summer traveling. But during one sale or another, I ended up purchasing and I have been loving wearing them on my walks to the market. They're so comfortable and padded that I’ve been wearing them sockless for short walks and there’s been no break-in period needed. I love the gum heel and I’m really pleased with the quality of the shoe and the pricing on it. They look excellent with my Madewell mom jeans and a T-shirt." —Emaclark

    Price: $58 (available in sizes 6-11)

    2. A simple yet versatile tank top that'll look good as part of a going-out daytime look OR while lounging around the crib.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this tank. The armholes are perfect (not gaping) and the material is a nice weight that definitely isn't too thin. It's just loose enough that I'm not worried about it shrinking in the wash. Overall, this is a great tank." —Lauraleigh
    Price: $16.50+ (available in sizes XXS-XXL and nine colors)

    3. A shirt-style dress to slip into whenever you want to look super pretty but also want to feel like you never switched out of your pajamas.

    Promising review: "This is a new favorite! I love the swingy fit and the fabric that isn't see-through!" —lisaleanne76

    Price: $110 (available in sizes XXS-XL)

    4. Shorts that'll definitely give off the camp counselor vibe but... like... in the coolest way possible. 😎

    Tuck a tee into these shorts and step out in a pair of dope sneakers OR wear them with a blouse and heels. We stan a lil' versatility.

    Promising review: "These shorts are so comfy and cute and I love the brownish color! I am 5-foot-6, weigh 177 pounds, and my hips measure 45 inches at the widest point and I got a large size and they fit perfectly! I like these shorts because they fit in the thighs and aren't tight at all which is great because I have really big thighs and usually that is a problem for me. I will be wearing these all summer!" —Ashleyrp

    Price: $29.50 (originally $49.50; available in sizes XXS-XXL and three colors)

    5. A tote to serve as the grab-and-go bag that'll always be appropriate with whatever you're wearing and for wherever you're going.

    Promising review: "Let me tell you the ways I love this tote. I love its color (deep olive green) leather straps (which have a perfect length to carry in hand or on shoulders), sturdiness, and the two pockets on the inside. One pocket is zippered and the other is open to drop things quickly in. The pockets are also of great size to easily store bigger things in them. This tote is my go-to for every day running around. I know that with age it will just get better." —Ula230

    Price: $78 (available in two colors and also with the option to personalize it for $10 more)

    6. Chunky hoop earrings you'll never, ever go wrong with stepping out of the house wearing.

    Promising review: "These are the most perfect hoop earrings! I first ordered the chunky oversized but found them just too big for me but these are the perfect size. They go with everything and are just big enough to make a statement but not overwhelming at all! They aren’t heavy either so easy to wear!!" —Playanamedgus
    Price: $24 (available in silver and gold colors)

    7. A smock dress with light ruffling and polka dots that'll make you want to be ~spotted~ whenever you wear it.

    Promising review: "I wore this dress for a Realtor Award Ceremony in Laguna Beach, California. I chose this dress because I knew the weather would be chilly at night but not cold enough for a jacket. The sleeves were lightweight and allowed a breeze without me being uncomfortably cold on the beach! I have three words to describe this dress: comfortable, chic, and classy. It ran a little big as I normally wear a medium; I had to get a small but it felt amazing. It was flowing as I walked and I received so many compliments." —Btherealtor

    Price: $89.99 (originally $148; available in petite sizes M and XL and regular sizes XXS-XL)

    8. A gorgeous side-tie dress with a sultry, semi-plunging neckline for days when you want to have a simple look but don't exactly want to be a plain Jane.

    Promising review: "This is officially the most comfortable dress I own. I bought it thinking it would be a good casual summer dress (which it is!) but thanks to my height (5-foot-3), it's long enough on me that I can also wear it to work on hot days. The side-tie and cut of this dress are super flattering. My only minor complaint is the chest. I'm 36B, so not especially small, and the chest area on the size small is definitely a little bigger and more low-cut than I expected but it's nothing that wearing a camisole under the dress can't fix. For reference, I'm 5-foot-3, 130 lbs., with an athletic/muscular build, and the small fits great (maybe even a tiny bit loose!)." —AnnieZed

    Price: $59.99 (originally $88; available in sizes XL-3X and four colors)

    9. Cropped and flared jeans because there'll never be a such thing as too many jeans. EVER.

    Promising review: "Honestly, part of me is mad at how well the Cali demi-boot style fits me because now I can't stop buying them! This is my third pair in this style and it's just as good as the others. I want to wear them every single day. I'm 4-foot-11 and the petite length is perfect for me. Madewell, have I thanked you yet for your petite range? THANK YOU!" —Jennirose
    Price: $79.99 (originally $135; available in petite, regular, and tall sizes 23-37)

    10. Aviator sunnies to wear whenever you want to block out the sun and add an extra cool factor to your OOTD.

    Several people with very different face shapes noted how well these sunglasses fit, btw.

    Promising review: "I love love love these sunglasses. They are the perfect addition to any outfit, they are a statement yet can blend in and not be the focal point. They are very versatile and hold up well. I traveled through a desert, into the ocean, and through the snow with these babies and they look good as new. I lost them and immediately ordered another pair because I loved them so much. Definitely a must-buy." —Bex234

    Price: $55 (available in three colors)

    11. A basic yet pretty plaid headband that'll save you anytime you need to get your hair out of your face.

    Promising review: "Usually, headbands give me a headache after only a few minutes but I can wear this headband all day! I love it." —Bri75

    Price: $22 (available in three colors)

    12. The classic T-shirt that'll (literally) have your back anytime you're struggling with the "what to wear" dilemma.

    Promising review: "Wow. I didn't think it was possible to find such a perfect tee at such a perfect price point. Madewell took the classic whisper cotton tee and made it EVEN BETTER. Amazing. I love the ringer detail on the neckline and the slightly boxy cut. It's taking everything in my power not to buy every color." —Amt409

    Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XXS-3X and six colors)

    13. High-rise knit leggings for days when pants just won't do.

    Promising review: "I bought these to replace my Madewell leggings I bought years ago and I'm glad I did. They are perfect. The length is perfect, they stretch beautifully, and they are extremely comfortable. They are of high quality and are a steal for the price. I'm usually a 28/29 in Madewell jeans and the medium fits like a dream. Get these!" —Sab82

    Price: $34.50 (available in sizes XXS-3X)

    14. A basic T-shirt bra that — per the reviews — may feel comfortable enough for you to actually ~not~ wanna take off as soon as you step into the house.

    Promising review: "It is incredibly hard to find a structured bra with support not made of plastic so the fact that this is made from cotton and modal is so awesome. It’s so soft and built very nicely like it's good quality. I’m very surprised that this isn’t sold for more money." —Carid24

    Price: $35 (available in three colors and sizes 32A-38DD)

    15. A straw hat to give major on-vacation vibes — even when you're just running errands around your town.

    Promising review: "This hat is great for any casual summer outfit. It's not a big, floppy brim so it works with jeans, etc. And it's a larger brim than a fedora, so there is actual sun coverage." —Alinita

    Price: $24.50 (originally $39.50; available in two styles and sizes small/medium and medium/large)

    16. An oversized denim jacket you can toss on top of ANYTHING and make it look instantly chic.

    Promising review: "I'm calling this my Goldilocks jacket: not too loose, not too tight, not too long, not too short... It's just right. I've been searching for the perfect denim jacket for years now but they're always too cropped and fitted or too boxy and stiff. For reference, I'm 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, 34DD, a size 30 in Madewell jeans, and usually a medium in Madewell tops. I ordered a medium based on other reviews that the fit is relaxed and it's just perfect. I would say it's just slightly more fitted on me than on the model online but I am fairly curvy. The length was probably the most important thing to me since I'm so tall. Cropped things always look extra cropped on me, so having the longer length is just perfect. It falls about to the same place on me as on the model. The denim is solid and structured but soft and comfortable — so much so that I'm surprised that this is 100% cotton. The wash looks different in person; it's more of a traditional mid-wash denim. There are no dark spots on the chest pockets the way there are in the photo online." —PrincessMoonbeam

    Price: $99.99 (originally $128; available in sizes XXS-3X)

Straight from the studio ...

Irresistible new works by Bruno Boffa

Born in Ixelles in June 1968, he has been passionate about cars and the visual arts since childhood.

His artistic studies at Saint-Luc in Brussels first led him for 25 years as a graphic designer in an advertising agency. In 2016, he decided to devote himself entirely to his passions.

Inspired by Pop and Street Art, it was then that he produced his first compositions and created Legend & Gentlemen Drivers as part of a collaboration with Jean-Pol Piron.

Photographic overlays each composed of a mix of at least twenty images on themes including mainly motor sport legends but also those of cinema and television series that rocked our childhood ... all embellished with draping, posters, graffiti, logos,… with its own refinement.

A finish composed of a lacquer of 2 layers of resin allows to give this depth and this particular luminosity to the work. Each basic creation is then produced in a limited series, signed and numbered, up to a maximum of 7 copies. A black and white series is printed on Plexiglas®

COMPUTHERM Hydraulic transmission

Sale price Price 59,90€ Regular price Unit price  per

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is a pre-order, ships in 2021

A hydraulic gearbox is an assembly that ensures the independent operation of different heating / cooling circuits by creating a short circuit between the supply and return pipes. As a result, it disconnects the heat generating equipment from the circuits that use energy.

Thanks to the designed hydraulic short-circuit, the mass flow required for the heating / cooling circuits can be provided without disturbing the pumps and the individual circuits can operate with different volume flows. The use of hydraulic gearboxes simplifies the design, operation and control of a system consisting of several heating / cooling circuits.

Advantages of using a hydraulic gearbox:

  • Hydraulic separation of boiler circuit and heating circuits
  • The heat generating and heating circuits can operate independently of the
  • volume flow and temperature assigned to them, without disturbing each other
  • The service life of the heating system components (boiler, pump, etc.) is extended

When is it recommended to use a hydraulic transmission?

  • If the pump built into the boiler is not able to provide adequate mass flow in the heat dissipation system (more distant radiators will remain cold).
  • If a system consisting of several heating circuits is to be connected to the boiler (eg: separately controlled ground floor and first floor, or several living quarters).
  • If radiator and underfloor heating circuits are fitted without a heat exchanger.
  • If the oversized boiler switches on / off frequently.

A petition to make the A47 wider has been set up after two people died after serious crashes on the road.

On Friday (March 6) a man in his 40s died after a crash on Acle Straight in Norfolk. Police, the fire service and ambulance service attended at around 10.45am after a three-vehicle crash involving a lorry, tanker and car.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Saturday (March 7) a  second man died  after the crash last week.

Today (Monday, March 9) there was another crash on the same stretch of road. Two people have been injured as a result.

A Norfolk Police spokeswoman said today: "Police were called to the scene of a two-vehicle road traffic collision at 12.19pm today.

"There are two casualties".

The petition has been set up to expand the A47, Acle Straight, "before more people are killed".

On the Change.org website, the petition reads: "How many more people have to die before they expand this road?

"This petition is for the A47 Acle Straight to be a dual carriage way before more people die unnecessarily".

At the time of writing, it had 804 signatures out of its 1,000 target.

Maintained Mrs. Riddle's Campus and Modernized Our Facilities

All who know and love Avon understand that the identity of our school is embedded in these walls of red stone – and that if they were somehow more precisely plumb and square, they would undoubtedly be less perfect. Memories of this place connect Avonians across generations and link us to Mrs. Riddle’s founding vision.

For all of these reasons, we committed to preserving the distinctive character of our campus and buildings as we completed projects that made them better suit our students’ needs. Our plans for doing so built on Avon’s broader strategic planning work and encompassed changes to Avon’s buildings across campus.

Drag the arrows on the rendering to see the before and after of the Refectory and Kitchen Project.

The care and keeping of Mrs. Riddle’s aesthetic was our focus in the dining hall, preserving the trim work, and re-finishing tables and benches. The kitchen renovation modernized the dining experience by expanding dining options, shortening wait times at lunch, and maintaining family-style dinners.

Jennings-Fairchild Rink Renovation

Drag the arrows on the rendering to see the before and after of the Hockey Rink Project.

With a long-standing, record-breaking hockey tradition at Avon, the rink has become a major hub of campus activity. This overhaul matched the caliber of our program with renovations that provide top-notch player amenities, a modernized rink, and an improved fan experience.

Engineering and Robotics Center

The renovated building of one of Avon’s hallmark structures is now where students design and build robotics and learn about 3-D printing, capabilities that support the exploration of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). The renovation extends to the water tower’s new computer programming lab. The Forge and water tower are also home to Avon’s Robotics Team and Technology Club.

Ordway Art Gallery

The creativity and energy of our students—as well as visiting alumni artists—are now on full display in our new Ordway Art Gallery. Crafted oak cabinets for three-dimensional presentations and special lighting for hanging exhibits celebrate Avon’s many juried, award-winning artists in a space visited daily by students.

Nimrod Cabin Renovation

The Nimrod  Club has a storied tradition of fellow brothers—peer laborers—working in unity to carefully protect the lasting impact each boy has on this earth. The new cabin, home-base for Nimrod membership, replaces an aging structure built in the 1930s and welcomes generations of Avonians who have participated in this quintessential Avon experience.

If you love the Lord Jesus and want to have a lasting impact in the lives of others, consider volunteering at Camp Elim. God has chosen to glorify Himself with volunteers from the start.

We need many volunteers. If you are age 16 or older (or will be 16 in the calendar year) we would love to talk with you more about joining our summer staff. We have many positions that need filled, including:

Arts & Crafts, Lifeguard, Counseling, Maintenance, Dining Room, Medical Services, Dishwashing, Office, and Kitchen... to name a few!

Daniel Farke: The support of our fans gives us extra motivation

18 April 2019

Daniel Farke said he will let the table take care of itself ahead of Norwich City’s Good Friday match against Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road.

The Canaries go into the game top of the league, but Farke doesn’t want his side to get over too over-confident with four games still to play.

“When you are that successful it’s more like winning becomes habit and that’s what we want,” said Farke. “We want this attitude and we don’t want to lose but we want to keep the ground under our feet and to not get too self-confident.

“I’m not looking too far ahead, we have four more games and we will go into each and every game in order to win the game without regarding the situation in the table. The table will take care of itself, we want to be there with good performances with the best results we can get.

“We’re always greedy to win football games. When you come back in the dressing room after winning it’s a great feeling, so of course we are greedy to go further on with that winning feeling back inside our dressing room.”

Steve Bruce had some kind words for the City boss in his press conference ahead of the game, and Farke said he appreciated the recognition from the experienced Owls manager.

“It’s always nice when you’re praised and get some nice comments, especially from a really successful and experienced team coach as he knows exactly what is necessary to be successful in this league and on this level," said the City Boss.

“I’m full of respect for Steve and all the work that he has done and I am looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow, it’s always nice to speak to him before and after the game because he’s such a nice character.

“I’m also sure that he will be greedy in order to be successful and get the points at Carrow Road as they still have a slight chance of getting a play-off place, but that doesn’t take anything away from hearing some warm words about from such a successful coach.”

With City's fans playing such a big part in the team's success this season, Farke called on the Yellow Army to continue cheering the team on to push them over the line.

He said: “You can label it [the support] as outstanding and fantastic, world class even, the support and the feeling that we have around Carrow Road, the whole city, in the whole region and within the Club – it’s really one unity at the moment.

“This is crucial as it gives extra motivation for the players to give this two or three percent more on the training pitch, also on the pitch when we have our games, it’s a good feeling and our supporters are key for our successful season so far.

"But of course it will be important that we go further on with this attitude and also with the atmosphere because it’s carrying us.”

Overnight, the United States' Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a second notice of violation against the Volkswagen Group, claiming that eight additional vehicles sold in the US, and whole new engine family, have emissions testing defeat devices installed.
- shares

According to the EPA, eight models fitted with the company's 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel were found to have software that allows it to detect when it is being "tested for compliance with EPA emissions standards" and operate in a "in a low NOx 'temperature conditioning' mode".

The EPA continues: "At exactly one second after the completion of the initial phases of the standard test procedure, the vehicle immediately changes a number of operating parameters that increase NOx emissions and indicates in the software that it is transitioning to 'normal mode', where emissions of NOx increase up to nine times the EPA standard, depending on the vehicle and type of driving conditions. In other tests where the vehicle does not experience driving conditions similar to the start of the federal test procedure, the emissions are higher from the start, consistent with 'normal mode'."

Under normal driving, these vehicles emit up to nine times more oxides of nitrogen (NOx) than is permitted under US federal regulations.

Audi A8 4.2 TDI clean diesel quattro

The latest vehicles to be cited by the EPA are the 3.0-litre V6 TDI variants of the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L, and Q5.

Note that model years for American vehicles typically start being applied in the preceding calendar year.

The federal environmental regulator believes that latest notice of violation covers around 10,000 cars sold from the 2014 model year onward and "an unknown volume of 2016 vehicles".

As with the vehicles equipped with the EA189 turbo-diesel engine, the EPA points out that the latest violation doesn't present an immediate "safety hazard for car owners and drivers and the vehicles remain legal to drive and resell".

As outlined by the EPA, "NOx pollution contributes to harmful ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter" and exposure can lead to asthma attacks, respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems and premature death, especially in the young and the elderly.

This second notice of violation from the EPA comes after Volkswagen admitted to federal and state agencies in the middle of September that it had installed emissions testing defeat devices on its EA189-engined cars in the US. Later it was revealed that up to 11 million cars worldwide, including just under 100,000 vehicles locally, were fitted with this software.

Update (9.12am): Volkswagen AG has just issued a formal denial of the claims asserted by the EPA. The company's full statement reads:

"The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) informed Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft on Monday that vehicles with V6 TDI engines had a software function which had not been adequately described in the application process. Volkswagen AG wishes to emphasize that no software has been installed in the 3-liter V6 diesel power units to alter emissions characteristics in a forbidden manner.

"Volkswagen will cooperate fully with the EPA clarify this matter in its entirety."

A Simple Practice Of Love That Can SAVE Your Career

Be Happy At Work

Shirin Khamisa - Careers by Design Founder

Written by Shirin Khamisa, Founder, Careers by Design

A simple practice of love that can SAVE your career.

The practice that I am about to share with you is a fitting one for Valentine’s day.

Not only have I seen it save careers but it also rescued my relationship with my partner when we were going through a tough time.

We’ve been together now for more than 20 years and still going strong.

If your career or love relationship needs a BOOST, this is one practice that can turn things around quickly.

Where Is The Love?

If you are going to work day after day and feeling bored, drained or stressed, it’s easy to lose perspective about what’s possible for your future.

Living in fear of an overbearing boss or working in a toxic work environment can really take a toll on your confidence and self-esteem.

Even keeping up with the fast pace of work can have a significant impact on our ability to cope with day to day challenges. Many of us feel powerless to change the situation. This is a normal automatic reaction to these circumstances.

The good news is - we can take our brains off auto-pilot and redirect them to help us be more in sync with life.

What You Can Do. Right Now.

A daily practice of directing our thoughts to focus on what’s right and what we are grateful for creates positive powerful feelings of wellbeing.

It’s from this more positive place that good ideas and practical actions steps follow. When you live in gratitude, you put yourself back in control and you literally change the way that your brain responds to your environment.

It Sounds Good. BUT ....

If you are like most of my clients, you may be thinking one of the following right now:

"My situation is so bad that it won’t make any difference, besides there is nothing good about it."
"I’ve heard this before. It’s too simple to work."
"That’s it? That’s the powerful practice that is supposed to save my career?!"

Year after year, I’ve sat across from people and seen this simple practice change and transform lives and careers.

A financial analyst I coached was able to see new opportunities for growth in a job where he felt underutilized. A marketing manager who was tired of promoting a product she didn’t feel good about worked up the courage to find a position promoting a charity event raising funds for cancer research. When a small business owner started focusing more on what he was accomplishing,he started feeling a sense of pride and was less overwhelmed.

It will work for you, too!

Rose Coloured Glasses?

It’s not about thinking positive and ignoring the reality of the situation.

In fact, we are creating a more balanced view by finding the good that is present in difficult times.

We all have a powerful force within to create the energy to change.

When we feel stuck in a dark place, love, appreciation and gratitude are the fuel that propels us to greater heights.

The catch is: we have to direct our brains to create these positive states on a regular basis to get the benefits.

When our brains are plagued with negativity, that’s what we focus on.

We need regular doses of gratitude to come back into balance and joy.

I Double Dare You.

I dare you to connect to love, appreciation and gratitude.

I dare you to re-wire your brain.

This Valentine’s Day, commit to some self care. For one week do the simple but powerful practice developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, the leader of the positive psychology movement. I bet you will feel so good that you will decide to continue.

Three Good Things (Also called: The 3 Blessings Exercise)

Every day before you lay your head down to rest, list 3 good things and why they happened to you. They can be small things like a cheerful greeting from a neighbour or something much bigger.

To begin changing your feelings about the difficulty you are facing, list 3 good things specifically about your challenging life or work situation or relationship.

Here are some of the things I’m grateful for.

1. I’m grateful that you’re reading this!

Why it happened + why I feel good about it:
I pushed past my comfort zone and started blogging. I made space in my life for my priorities.

2. I’m grateful that I paused and admired a rainbow and a spectacular sunset.

Why it happened + Why I feel good about it:
When I noticed the sky was a blazing orange-pink, I decided to pause my work and appreciate the view.

3. I’m grateful I stopped to share a special moment with a friend.

Why it happened + Why I feel good about it:
When she shared something from the heart, I took the time to listen and savour the moment of connection.

Now it’s your turn. Share your experience and what’s joyful for you in the comments below.

"I worked with Tami Cooper on my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn in November 2020. From our initial call, she was extremely professional and responsive. She gave me excellent tips every second of the way and she understood my struggles in terms of seeking employment. Her turnaround time was incredibly fast.

"Being a stay-at-home mom for the past 4 years, I was excited, yet nervous to begin the job search process. Tami immediately made my husband Bill and I feel welcome. She was sincere and so proficient – we instantly felt at ease. Her expertise in the areas of career coaching and employment amazed both of us. The work Tami did for us to target our resumes and cover letters was incredible! Once I had my new documents, and a boost in my confidence, I began searching and applied for a position right away. I received an invitation for an interview a week later and was offered the position! Tami, you are such a valuable asset to your team. You are professional, warm, supportive, and you know your vocation. Thank you!"

Careers By Design’s Experts Will Solidify Your Brand &
Turn You into the Strongest Candidate for an Open Position!

The truth is we live in a marketing-focused world and in this world to get you noticed a great resume has to be like a great ad – that means:

• It has to sell you.
• It has to let the employer know that if he hires you, he’ll receive certain benefits.
• It has to let the employer know that you have what it takes to succeed in the position.
• It also has to be designed in such a way that it “grabs the attention” of the hiring manager.
• It has to be written in such a way that it motivates the hiring manager to pick up the phone and invite you to an interview.

A big part of what we can do for job seekers is to help them create a brand identity that hiring managers or recruiters will remember.

Again, this can be very difficult to do on your own but an expert third party seeing you with a fresh, outside, objective view may be just what is necessary to create that memorable brand that gets you hired.

We Also Help You Take Full Advantage of LinkedIn & Resume Cover Letters!

If you are having difficulty securing interviews ask yourself this – is your LinkedIn profile attention grabbing or forgettable?  The difference between the two can be the deciding factor as to whether you get invited to interview for that dream job or you never hear anything back.

The truth is having a terrific LinkedIn profile has surged in importance as LinkedIn has become more and more popular among recruiters and hiring managers.

The Savvy Intern reports that 85% of recruiters now go to LinkedIn before looking at any other recruitment tools.Meanwhile, LinkedIn has grown to over 430 million members. In other words, the competition to stand out from the crowd and draw an employer’s attention is fierce.

And not only that, a well-written profile will also help you make important connections and join valuable groups that can ultimately lead to your dream job.

So how do you feel about your profile?Is it making the right impression? Is it generating interest? Is it portraying you in the right light?

If it is NOT, you are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage in today’s job market.

That’s why many employment experts now say the number one thing you can do to improve your job search chances and land that new or better job is to have your LinkedIn profile professionally written.Simply put, your LinkedIn profile is too important to trust to anyone other than a professional.

You may be a great writer but, for instance, here at Careers By Design we have learned from experience how to:

• Optimize your profile for relevant, powerful keywords so that when a recruiter searches for someone with your skills and experience your profile is right there at the top of the list

• Strengthen your personal brand so that you appear ideally qualified for the position you are seeking

• Demonstrate your personality and values so that companies feel you are an ideal fit for their culture

Another area where Careers By Design experts can really help job seekers in Vancouver and other areas is with their cover letters.

It’s easy to take for granted just how important a well-written cover letter is for your job hiring prospects. About half of all HR reps say they won't even read a resume if the candidate hasn't submitted a cover letter. The bottom line is you need an attention-grabbing, well-worded cover letter to get hiring managers to proceed on and view your resume.We can help you with that.

English Learner Services

Program Overview

The purpose of this program is to ensure English Learner (EL) students attain English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards.

Who is an English Learner?

An English learner is a student with a primary language other than English who needs extra instruction to learn the skills in English required for success in the regular school program. Students are identified based on information families provide on the Home Language Survey during registration and the results of the English Learner Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC).

Supports for English Learners

English Learner students receive English Language Development (ELD) to build their proficiency in English and academic success. Students receive Designated ELD to focus on developing English language proficiency as a stand-alone subject, either as a course in secondary or a small group in elementary. Students also received Integrated ELD throughout the day, using specific strategies and support to assist students with accessing the content.

Identified students remain English Learners until they meet reclassification criteria, which includes proficiency on the ELPAC, comparison of student performance in basic skills, teacher evaluation, and parent opinion/consultation.

Mindfulness Based Therapy

Our Carlton Senior Living Pleasant Hill community was pleased to host Samantha Lopez earlier this year during the Spring 2018 Semester. Samantha came on board at Carlton as a Masters of Social Work intern from Arizona State University. Under the supervision of our then Resident Liaison Rhodesia Wright, Samantha spent her internship time working directly with our residents in both a group setting and one-on-one.

Mindfulness Based Therapy uses meditation and breathing like techniques to help direct the focus onto the present moment. It allows individuals to become more aware of their physical body, feelings and thoughts with the objective being to achieve relief from anxiety and allow the person to de-stress. Mindfulness Based Therapy can be used to treat a variety of issues including but not limited to; depression, stress reduction, chronic pain and anxiety. The important principles of Mindfulness Based Therapy center on Intention, Attention and Attitude. The first concept is the idea of setting intention with regard to personal goals and visions. The second concept is to focus your attention on the present moment. The third and final concept is to practice calmness, acceptance and composure in your attitude and being.

Having obtained a background and certification in Mindfulness Based Therapy (MBT), Samantha was able to connect to one resident in particular and with her approval to participate, implemented MBT with her over the course of six sessions. Each session lasted approximately five to eight minutes with the goals focusing on helping to ease the levels of anxiety that the resident was experiencing. Strategies of the MBT sessions included implementing breathing techniques that promoted relaxation as well establishing exercises that focused on sensory, imagery and emotions. At the end of the six sessions the resident reported improvement in her sleep and decreased anxiety. Empowerment throughout the six weeks was vital to help the resident determine her next steps and goals towards continuing the process.

Socialization brings about a positive impact for our mental well-being. Having the opportunity to feel emotionally connected to other individuals and their lives allows us the ability to feel purposeful in our roles for not only our life but theirs as well. Samantha shared that her favorite part of her experience at Carlton Senior Living was the relationships she built with the residents and associates. She stated that, “Helping residents transition through various facets of aging has been such a rewarding experience.” Her plan since graduating in July 2018 and receiving her Master’s Degree in Social Work is to find a position within the Contra Costa County that will allow her to utilize the motivation she has to make a difference in the quality of life for older adults by serving that population.

We wish her all the best of luck in her future professional endeavors and are grateful to have had her become a part of the Carlton Senior Living family.

Hire a designer first

Do you have an amazing idea for an app? Or an interior? Or a book? You have some extra cash, some interested friends, maybe a developer buddy?

Make an estimate of how much you can spend and how long you want it to take. Then triple that.

Then hire a product designer.

Before you register that logo, read about the design process or how things get built.

Do research on the market: Make a business plan, study your market, know the price you can set.

Gather ideas: First ideas aren’t always the best. Gather hundreds, make sure that they match your market and users.

Prototype: And the final ideas deserve to be thought through! Make a sketch or wireframe of something as close to possible as finished. 80% will do.

Test: Test with your market. Show your ugly little prototypes to users in your market and get honest reactions. Don’t explain too much. Keep prototyping until you have an idea of what to make.

Build: Make a lightweight build for the first version.

Rinse and repeat.

Through the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of stakeholders on bringing ideas to life. The best projects tend to involve business (or the originator) working alongside designers with realistic constraints early and often.

If you’re serious about your business don’t go for the cheapest, a student, a friend. Hire someone you can contract, review professionally and plan with. Hire someone to make a budget around and you want to tap for the lifespan of the project. Hire someone that is already making work like what you want to make. Hire someone with some sense of the industry you want to work in.

Letting a designer help you plan will save you a lot of time misguided expectations. Designers have a process to make projects happen, a time tested, well thought out process that they went to school to learn. They don’t make decisions based on feeling. They make them based on research.

It’s what they do for a living. You are initating the process of making; and are contributing but with all things that exist, real constraints, facts, and markets dictate what gets made and makes it as a business. If you want to plan out the entire project yourself and then give it over to someone, you might have already lost. If you are crossing fields, you have no understanding of the design process, and what really goes into making something creative, you might have already lost. It isn’t science. It isn’t reading articles and extrapolating. It’s taking what already exists and improving on it to make something new. You’re not original, you’re designer isn’t original, but what you make together will be original.

This all hinges on one contingency, that you must be honest with your designer. If you are upfront about your budget, you don’t have to fight with someone for putting frills and unecssary items in. Estimates are not made to make oodles of cash. They are made to be reasonable for you, for themselves. If someone makes something you don’t like, show them what you do like.

Some tips:

Make your budget early and do your homework on how things will be paid for. Cash is a fast killer.

Learn as much as you possibly can about digital marketing so when your creative staff is explaining things to you, you can make better decisions.

As the owner of a project, your role isn’t to sit back and watch people make things, but to remove the obstacles from the project completion. Read up on project management and listen to podcasts like Startup or How I Built This.

Really successful companies aren’t made in a day, and they aren’t entirely build on design. But the ones that get closest to the mark involve designers early and often.

Indiana bishop not to attend pro-life banquet featuring RNC head Steele

Indiana bishop not to attend pro-life banquet featuring RNC head Steele

Bishop Gerald Gettelfinger / RNC Chairman Michael Steel
Bishop Gerald Gettelfinger / RNC Chairman Michael Steel

Saying there can be “no equivocation” about abortion, Bishop of Evansville, Indiana Gerald Andrew Gettelfinger has decided not to attend the Vanderburgh County Right to Life (VCRL) banquet because Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, a Catholic who made conflicting comments about his abortion views, will be addressing the gathering.

Bishop Gettlelfinger charged that Steele “assiduously avoids” strong language on abortion.

The Washington Times reports that 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is also to address the banquet attendees.

Paul Leingang, communications director for the Diocese of Evansville, told CNA that the bishop intends not to attend the dinner he would normally attend.

Evansville Catholic Charities Director Jim Collins also plans not to attend the gathering, saying he was “shocked” by Steele’s comments on abortion in an interview with GQ magazine.

The Republican leader had told GQ that he believes women “absolutely” have the right to choose abortion and that he believes abortion is “an individual choice.”

Steele later distanced himself from remarks in a statement, saying “I am pro-life, always have been, always will be” and voicing his support for the Republican Party platform and “its call for a Human Life Amendment.”

Last Thursday the VCRL board voted to honor its speaking contract with Steele, which agreement was reached last fall, according to the Washington Times.

"We have done our due diligence," VCRL Executive Director Mary Ellen Van Dyke told the Washington Times. "Michael Steele has made the board of directors more than satisfied with his response regarding the GQ article. He told us he always has been and will be pro-life and against abortion in all cases."

However, Bishop Gettelfinger wrote a letter to VCRL, saying that “the principled answer for us is that there can be no equivocation: Intentional abortion is an act of killing the unborn. There is no room for choice in this deadly matter. Mr. Steele assiduously avoids such strong language.”

On Monday CNA spoke with Evansville diocesan communications director Paul Leingang about Bishop Gettelfinger’s decision.

He said there were no new developments concerning the situation because Bishop Gettelfinger is out of town. The diocese had not received a response to the letter the bishop had sent to VCRL, but was still hoping for comment. The organization may not yet have received the bishop’s letter, Leingang explained.

Explaining to CNA why Bishop Gettelfinger will not be attending, Leingang said the bishop was “disturbed” by Steele’s comments in GQ magazine in regard to a woman’s “right to choose” and that they seemed to come from “a political stance, not a principled one.”

“The principled answer would be there can be no equivocation, there’s no room for ‘choice’,” Leingang told CNA, because of what is being chosen.

CNA asked about defenses of Steele which claimed he merely spoke with “unfortunate phrasing” in his GQ interview.

“The salient point is that this is the principled decision of Bishop Gettelfinger,” Leingang replied, reporting that the bishop spoke with Steele by phone last Friday and also read the statement that Steele had issued following the GQ interview.

“After that conversation and examination of the statement, Bishop Gettelfinger maintained his decision not to attend the banquet.”

The bishop has not previously had to take a stand by declining to attend an event.

“This is unique,” Leingang told CNA.

He added that Bishop Gettelfinger will explain his decision in an upcoming article for the diocesan newspaper The Message.
