Seeds of Obsession

For a good many years, I half believed I would stop wanting more jewelry when I got my hands on my mother’s. She didn’t have a huge amount of it, but what she had was clearly special to her, and I was preoccupied with trying to figure out what she loved and why. The pieces she seemed to care about most came from her mother, who died before I was born and for whom I was named. (She was a Mildred. Mother wouldn’t have that, so she called me Marcia, a name I never liked.) Her mother seems to have been as remote to her as mine was to me.

FullSizeRendercirclepinMother seemed to have a special fondness for her mother’s small circle pin with pearls and rubies—good rubies, she said, and nicer than the sapphires in the pin that went to one of her sisters. I have it now and never wear it, because who wears circle pins? And what if I lost it? And why does it still seem to be Not Mine? There was also a very good if slightly off-color mine-cut diamond, which Mother was given on the condition that she give it to her own daughter someday. More about that, doubtless, at a later date. It’s the locket at the head of this post that I want to write about now.

The locket was extraordinary because of the pictures inside. It surprised me that Mother would wear images, albeit hidden ones, of her husband and children. The group photo must have been taken around 1947; my picture is separate because I was born six years later. As far as I could tell, there was no way to incorporate the lone child on the left into the cuddly family on the right, especially since I had never experienced any of that apparent cuddliness. Who was this adoring woman? Where was that close family? The locket carried a secret I couldn’t unravel.

But it had another secret I could unravel. Mother gave me the locket a few years before she died, when she began parting with things I thought she’d hold onto forever: Even the most treasured objects, it turns out, can be surrendered without ceremony. She said it was from Georg Jensen, the famous Danish silver firm, and indeed, that’s what was stamped on the back. FullSizeRenderUSAhallmark(There had also been earrings in the same iconic tulip design, but, being screw-backs, they’d gotten lost.) After Mother died, I brought the brooch to the Georg Jensen store in New York to see what they had to say about its history and value. The young woman behind the counter took one look at the hallmark and sniffed, “This isn’t Georg Jensen. It’s Georg Jensen U.S.A. We have nothing to do with that!” What on earth was she talking about? The young woman offered no further explanation. I think she didn’t have one, but I’ve never forgotten her snobbery.

Years later, an internet search yielded the real story. During the German occupation of Denmark (1940-45), Jensen silver was no longer exported to the U.S. But Jensen’s American representative, Frederik Lunning, hired American designers to produce jewelry “in the Jensen style.” He didn’t consult the home office in Copenhagen about this, and after the war, they were understandably miffed; there was a lawsuit. But the snippy woman in the store was right: Georg Jensen never made a tulip locket brooch. Georg Jensen U.S.A. did, and that’s what American wives wore while their husbands were at war. My mother’s locket is not “collectible” as Jensen Silver—meaning it wouldn’t fetch as much if I were to sell it. But I’m not that kind of jewelry collector. I’m the kind that calls myself a collector only because it gives me an excuse to acquire yet more jewelry—it’s what I tell myself as I write the check. My true reasons for collecting are murkier. But one thing is clear: I’m going to have plenty to write about.

  1. Delicious blog. Please do more. Made me start to think long and hard about my grandmother’s peculiar circular silver button brooch with a photo in the back, and behind that photo, an even older photo. Tiny damaged photos, cut in circles from a bigger photograph. It has occurred to me for the first time in my life that one at least of these they may ne a photo of a parent (her mother), who died when she was a child. The other doesnt look like her first husband, though it’s a new photo, and it may be him. Or it may be Jack, who died in France on the front lines, and never came back, leaving her only with the sweetheart knot brooch, with tiny pearls, that I also have. If that photo is her mother it is the only surviving photograph of her in the world. She looks intensely miserable.

Dedication of Margaret Fuller Historical Marker

On Saturday, May 21, 2016, a marker honoring Margaret Fuller was unveiled in Polhill Park in Beacon, NY. Margaret Fuller Society member, scholar, theologian, and educator Michael Barnett spearheaded the effort to commemorate Fuller’s historic visit in the fall of 1844 to what was then Fishkill Landing. She lived here for seven weeks, writing Woman in the Nineteenth Century, a foundational work in the American women’s rights movement. Its publication profoundly impacted women in America and in Europe, and it inspired the 1848 Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY. Many thanks go to Michael Barnett, who made this commemoration and event possible by applying to the Pomeroy Foundation for the grant to fund the marker.

Organizing Secretary General of the DAR, and Past President of the Beacon and the Dutchess County Historical Societies Denise Doring VanBuren was the mistress of ceremonies. Mayor of the City of Beacon Randy Casale and Former Beacon Mayor Clara Lou Gould were present at the unveiling.

To commemorate this event, Beacon Arts commissioned a new piece of music for voice and violin by Beacon resident and composer, Debra Kaye. The piece is a setting of Fuller’s poem “Freedom and Truth” (1859). There was a performance of this piece by Vice President of Beacon Arts and soprano Kelly Ellenwood, and violinist Kathleen Bosman.

Many thanks to all who helped make the event possible: Michael Barnett, Kathleen Bosman, Randy Casale, Elizabeth Evans, Kelly Ellenwood, Clara Lou Gould, Carley Hughes, Ella’s Bellas, Carmen Johnson, Debra Kaye, Diane Lapis, Kristine Marino, Bob Meeker, Bob Murphy, Terri Pahucki, Amy Raff, Anthony Thomaselli, The William G. Pomeroy Foundation, Denise Doring VanBuren, Mary Kay Vrba, and the staff of Dutchess Tourism, Inc.

Watch the unveiling here.

My Sincere Appreciation to All Who Ran

I guess it was pretty obvious to all readers that for the most part I stayed away from writing about the primaries on the Republican side. That is because, with the exception of the 1st Congressional District, there wasn’t a Republican candidate I wouldn’t proudly support if they won the primary. So, my congratulations go out to Congressman Steve Pearce, Sheriff Darren White, Ed Tinsley and Dan East. I look forward to helping each of you win in November.

I’d also like to express my sincere admiration for everyone else that put themselves forward as a candidate, both on the federal and state levels and on both sides of the aisle. Your willingness to do so is what makes this country great. As someone who has been a candidate, I know it’s not easy.

I’m not sure most people realize the level of commitment that goes into a campaign. It’s a 24/7 roller coaster ride that doesn’t stop until you win or lose. You campaign all day, and it’s the first thing on your mind when you wake up in the morning and the last thing on your mind when you go to sleep at night. You never feel like you’re doing quite enough, and you’re always second guessing your last move.

Basically, you’re applying for a job, But, what makes this job so unique is that everyone you know (heck, even people you don’t know) is aware that you’re applying. They’re all witnesses to the interview process and everything you do and everything you’ve ever done is under a microscope for all to see. And, when you don’t get the job, everyone knows it. That part is not fun. However, the people you meet along the way will become new friends. I guarantee it. And, as time goes by, you realize that without you’re participation there would be no Democratic process.

So, thank you to all who ran. You are what makes this country great.

An interview with thriller author, James McCrone

I am very pleased to announce a new initiative, alongside a few of my fellow pen wielding brethren, to create a platform which will allow readers to interact and get to know the authors behind the pages of their favourite (or soon to be favourite) books.

With this in mind I am excited to introduce the very talented, James McCrone, author of Faithless Elector and Dark Network, the first two books in the Imogen Trager series of political thrillers. It has been a privilege to hear from him and a great opportunity to discover not only how he achieved his dream, but also learn from the successes and failures he encountered along the way.

1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Thanks for the opportunity, Mark. I’m James McCrone, and as you’ve said, author of Faithless Elector and Dark Network, book one and two in the Imogen Trager series.
I’m writing the third book right now, working title Who Governs. I live in Philadelphia, PA, with my wife and two of our three children. I have an MFA from the University of Washington in Seattle. National Book Award winner, Charles Johnson (Middle Passage) was the chair of my committee. I’ve been writing (and reading) for as long as I can remember. Telling stories is how I make sense of the world, and it wasn’t until I was 10 or 12 years old that I realized not everyone was like that.
2. What do you do when you are not writing?
I work, I read my ever-growing TBR pile. Becoming active on social media has greatly increased my scope for reading. It’s a wonderful, unintended consequence! I love to cook, too. I’ve worked in restaurants for a large part of my life, both in the front of house and behind the stove. I have a play in mind-set in a busy New York City kitchen as my next work.
3. Do you have a day job as well?
I’m the part-time business manager for the South 9th Street/Italian Market Business Association here in Philadelphia. I love the Market, and it keeps me in touch with great food, great characters and some interesting stories—many I’ll never be able to tell!
4. When did you first start writing and when did you finish your first book?
I’ve always told stories, and I really started putting them down when I was as young as 10 or 12. As I said before, it came as a bit of a surprise to find that not everyone did that.
I wrote my first novel in 1990, a coming-of-age story called The Quickest of Us. I’m afraid I wasn’t able to interest anyone in it, and it remains a manuscript on a shelf in my office. I wrote the first draft of Faithless Elector prior to the 2000 general election, but again, couldn’t interest anyone in it. After the 2000 election, when the Electoral College vote was so close, I thought maybe it was time to try again. After being unsuccessful that time, too, I put it away for many years. It wasn’t until 2015, when my wife and I were in the UK, that I decided I’d work on it again and get it out there.
5. How did you choose the genre you write in and where do you get your ideas?
This is an interesting question. It’s hard to admit, but for a long time in my twenties and early thirties (I’m 54 now) I think I was trying to be someone else in my writing, and the work suffered for it. The past 13 or 14 years have been a process of stripping away some of the artifice and mannerisms I’d allowed to infect my writing. Before, I was writing about things that didn’t matter to me because (I guess) I thought it was what others wanted to read, and my ambivalence came through on the page. There’s a hollow ring to some of the passages from that time that embarrasses and depresses me.
This is a long way around to saying that I went back to what I loved—thrillers, espionage, plausible conspiracies and whodunnits. I love the novels of John Le Carre, Frederick Forsyth, William McIlvanney and Graham Greene. I like that they combine a spare prose with engaging, intriguing ideas. Moreover, within the plot they’re not afraid to spend time on big questions or to linger over beauty. Those are the stories I’m drawn to, and those are the stories I want to write.
As to where my ideas come from, they come from real life. I’m intrigued by the other half of a story, the unspoken part of an official explanation.
6. Do you ever experience writer’s block?
Yes, and it’s brutal. Usually, it’s because I’ve lost the plot, or something I thought would be good has been exposed as unworkable.
7. Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I do both. I begin with sketches, ideas, and I just write. By the time I have about 25-30 pages written, I see what it is I want to do and how to get there. Then I outline. I find, however, that my outline usually has to be revised by about chapter four or five in the MS. Often, the plot I’ve sketched in the outline and the direction of the story begin to diverge. At that point, I have to assess whether I’m following some self-indulgent tangent, or whether the story is taking me in a new, surprising way. The outline is useful as background, but if the story and/or characters are taking the writer in new and surprising ways, it’s more likely a reader will also find it engaging and surprising.
8. Is there any particular author or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult?
I’ve mentioned Le Carre, McIlvanney, Forsyth, and Greene as early favorites; but I would say the work of George Orwell and Joseph Heller electrified me to the possibilities of language, its power and its subversive elements; of the need to see things from different perspectives.
9. Can you tell us about your challenges in getting your first book published?
When I first started shopping Faithless Elector around, I had lovely rejection letters—far better than those that came with Quickest of Us years earlier. They would praise the timeliness, the setting, or the characters, but in the end they would say things like it was “too far-fetched,” or “no one knows or cares about the Electoral College.” I think they do now!
After failing for a number of years to get a traditional agent and a publisher, I seized the opportunity in 2015 when we went to Britain. My wife was at Oxford University on a fellowship leave, and I, being a foreigner, didn’t have a work permit. My days were my own. I had wanted just this situation for years. I decided, as the English say, to really “push the boat out.” I found an editor, and we reworked the book. It was in good shape by early 2016, and I hoped that publishing it early in an election year would help it stand out. It worked pretty well.
10. If you had to go back and do it all over, is there any aspect of your novel or getting it published that you would change?
I have no regrets, and I try not to second-guess my choices—particularly since with both books I’ve spent a year or more going over it again and again. At a certain point, I think, you have to let it go and move to the next project.
11. How do you market your work? What avenues have you found to work best for your genre?
Learning how to market my work effectively has been a long, painful process. I have limited funds, so I send to Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Midwest Book Review, book-bloggers and other writer friends looking for (good) reviews that can go into my marketing materials. For both books, I’ve done a Goodreads giveaway, which was somewhat effective, and I use Facebook and Twitter liberally. I have found that personal appearances are the best: book launches, readings, book fairs and the like. I also go around to local bookstores with my sell-sheets and collateral material. Independent bookstores are fantastic. It’s the rare bookstore that won’t agree to carry at least two copies of the book.
12. Have you written a book you love that you have not been able to get published?
I love Quickest, but frankly I’m glad it’s not out there. I might one day be able to rework it, but for now, the shelf is the best place for it.
13. Can you tell us about your upcoming or recently published book?
Dark Network (2017) is the most recently published novel in the Imogen Trager series. (Who Governs will be out next year.)
In Dark Network, Imogen Trager, the determined heroine of the “highly suspenseful” thriller, Faithless Elector, returns. Pushed to the edges of the investigation for her conduct during the Faithless Elector plot, she starts digging where no else thinks to look.
She enlists the help of a computer analyst, Trey Kelly. Together, by scrutinizing gaps in the FBI’s data, they find the backdoor no one thought to lock, uncovering the trail of a vast, coordinated group of criminal cells woven into a sinister dark network, with threads leading everywhere.
She’ll have to fight against time, the network, and even her own colleagues to stop a conspiracy bent on stealing the presidency. In the process, she’ll have to confront her own views on what the Constitution is meant to protect and who she’s becoming. Even if she and Trey are successful, what kind of America will remain?
14. Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?
Both books in the Imogen Trager series have their genesis in the quirky laws of United States, particularly as they pertain to election of the president. They are a trilogy, but they’re also written to stand alone (no homework required!).
15. What project are you working on now?
I’m finishing the first draft of the final book in the Imogen Trager series, working title Who Governs. Imogen and her team will reveal who the conspirators are, but will the revelation be in time to stop them?
16. Will you have a new book coming out soon?
Who Governs should be out in the Spring of 2019. The first two books, Faithless Elector and Dark Network are available now.
17. Are there certain characters you would like to go back to, or is there a theme or idea you’d love to work with?
Imogen Trager is one character I keep coming back to. And I have an idea for a fourth book involving her. Earlier, you asked about outline vs. just writing, and Imogen is the product of the divergence of which I spoke. Pretty early on in the re-writing of Faithless, I realized it would be a trilogy, and at about the same time, I realized Imogen was the driving force. She had started out as something of a “bit player” in the outline, but she kept stealing scenes. Without getting too mystical about the process, I think it’s important, as a writer, to “listen” to what the story is telling you to do. I did, and I reworked the stories with her playing a much larger role.
As to themes, my work deals with issues of personal and social responsibility and political accountability. I’m also fascinated by the notion of path-dependence; that how you start something has an outsized effect on how you go forward. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do with that idea, but it’s intriguing to think about how what we do might have been shaped by earlier choices. We think we’re acting, but in reality we’re following a well-worn path…
18. What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? What has been the best compliment?
My editor gives some of the most unvarnished, paint-stripper lethal criticism I have encountered. But frankly, I’d rather deal with it from him in the work-in-progress stage than when the book is out in the world. To be fair to my editor (and he’s not only negative), there’s no doubt in my mind he makes the books better, so I swallow my pride and work on whatever it is that’s put him in such high dudgeon. I’ve been fortunate that both books have been well received.
As to the best compliment, I’ll give you one of my favorites: it was when I was still at university, and a short-story of mine came out in a special fiction section of the school paper, the UW Daily. The short story was a comic love story, and a friend told me that two fellow students—a young woman and a young man—were sitting in the back of her class, not listening to the lecture, but reading different parts of my story back and forth to each other and genuinely enjoying it, laughing at all the good bits.
19. Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?
I have done so much wrong that I’m not sure I can give advice, so I’ll say what I’ve found to be true: the writer is in service to the story and its characters.
That statement is in many ways a platitude, a cliché, but I’ve spent years trying to live up to it. Stripping away my self to get at what’s necessary to the story has been the hardest thing I’ve done, and the most rewarding. It’s also a continuous process, every time you sit down.
20. Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?
Thank you for taking these stories and these characters to heart.

Blog: PHP

“Hello, World!” in the real world

“Hello, World!” means something to most programmers – after all, it is most probably the very first thing you wrote code about. I know that my first year of Uni, very first course for the very first day, “Programming in Java”, the first thing was to write an application that says "Hello, World!", like this:

class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");

Ring any bells?

Maybe I’m setting up a new web server, and want to make sure the public root is working as expected. So I’ll put in a “Hello, World!” HTML file. Maybe learning a new concept, framework or technique – the basics are just that, “Hello, World!”.

The “Hello, World!” wiki page even tells us two useful purposes:

  • Used to introduce programmers to a new language
  • Used as a sanity test to ensure a language is installed correctly (and is running as expected)

Programming in Java – introducing me to a new language. The HTML file – a sanity test.

Two real-world usages. Two valid real-world usages. Great for learning, great for testing. But there does come a time when “Hello, World!” outstays its welcome.

As a developer, every day includes learning – new skills, languages, technologies, techniques, algorithms, patterns – the list goes on, but always learning and evolving with the technologies. Some of these lessons are not actually for a new language or a sanity test, but more of a concept or extension of ideas within an existing ecosystem.

For example, I think back to learning how to build an MVC component for a popular open source content management system. The tutorial starts out well, the usual “Hello, World!” as you would expect. But the tutorial continues for nearly two dozen lessons, extending this “Hello, World!” concept.

Get this, a view called “HelloWorld” in a component called “HelloWorld” – and this framework dictates a specific naming convention, so the tutorial, aimed at beginners, is now tasking me with creating things like “HelloWorldViewHelloWorld”.

While learning, lessons should be straight-forward and simple to follow. But what is “HelloWorld” referring to now?

For the very basics of setting up a MVC component, I’ve got no problem with “Hello, World!” type setups. After all, purpose 1, a new language (well, new technique). Set up the single View, output "Hello, World!", and we've found valid use.

But how does “HelloWorldViewHelloWorld” relate to any real-world solution?

Quite simply: it doesn’t.

In the very first lessons, we learn about the MVC structure, files, locations and names. But as you start to extend, in a component called “HelloWorld”, adding anything else called “HelloWorld” just starts to become confusing and unnecessarily obtuse.

Over the past year, I’ve been upskilling myself on the Laravel framework, and Laracasts – superb Laravel-focused screencasts – have been so valuable, useful and meaningful. Jeffery Way has produced whole courses on getting stuck in to Laravel, starting from the ground up - perfect for beginners. Laracasts has become so valuable to me, and I adore Way’s teaching style, I’ve signed up for a lifetime membership too, it’s that good.

What I find so special about Way’s education style is that lessons are made in the code, in the framework, learning about features and best-practices with real world examples.

To get started, Laravel comes with a splash page, in other words, its own “Hello, World!” page that actually ticks off both purposes 1 and 2 above – learning how to write a basic route to present a view, and ensuring the framework installed and running correctly. So that’s actually really neat. And that’s all we need our “Hello, World!” idea for – anything extra needs a real-world purpose.

After we’ve confirmed Laravel is running, and we’ve been introduced to basic routing, Way takes us in to developing our own app – no longer using a Hello-World-esque approach, but using a real world ideas, including templates, menus, routes, views, models, controllers, testing, relationships, the list goes on – lessons (depending on the Laravel version stream you’re following) can include real-world concepts for the web such as blog posts, comments, users, projects, books and genres (including pivot tables). Sure, these may still be trivial examples, but the skills have active application to real-world problems.

By learning how to use Laravel by building these basic examples, I can see how I can create a list of Books, each owned by a User, and also assign one or more Genres to each Book. We’ve got models, relationships, controllers and views, all explained using ideas and techniques that could be applied to actual software that needs building: Projects, assigned to multiple Users, owned by a Company. Same same but different – but the key is that the lessons learned from Way have given me the skills to apply skills to my own coding. There is no way that you can get “Book” and “Genre” confused (like “HelloWorld” vs “HelloWorld”) as not only do the names mean something in day to day life, but shows a realistic usage and implementation of them in the framework.

Even in the JavaScript world, there’s this awesome which demonstrates how to build the exact same app – a real-world-like To Do app – in a number of JavaScript frameworks: Vue.js, Ember.js, AngularJS, React, jQuery, Vanilla JS or ES6… and even more.

“Hello, World!” definitely has a purpose and a place – but after the very first “Hello, World!” lesson, you’re done – there’s no need to mention those words again. In Java back at Uni, we then started learning about collecting user input, and doing basic maths operations on it. In Laravel, we started building a collection of Books. In Vue.js, we build a To-do app. After we’ve confirmed our code is running – c’mon System.out.println, echo, alert, console.log, whatever – it’s on to learning skills with real world application.

What would you prefer to learn? How a model "HelloWorld" can be related to a number of "HelloWorlds", or how a Book can be related to a number of Genres? What makes more sense in your mind?

Everyone does learn differently – but lessons should also be presented with relatable, meaningful and clear language, concepts and similes, so that what you’re trying to teach can be picked up with greater ease, less confusion and give the student time to grow their skills to get them ready for their real world problem solving. Laracasts does this beautifully, and has given my learning a sense of excitement and purpose, and an eagerness to keep learning.

The ACLU is calling out Motel 6 for reportedly giving guest lists to ICE

Motel 6 is yet to respond.
Motel 6 is yet to respond.
Image: Ross D. Franklin/AP/REX/Shutterstock

The ACLU is publicly questioning Motel 6 after a Phoenix New Times report found that at least two of the motel chain's locations sent guest information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

One Motel 6 clerk told the Phoenix New Times that employees at that location "push a button" to send ICE guest information every morning at 5 a.m.

The quote was promptly tweeted out by the ACLU to Motel 6's Twitter account, and posted to the company's Facebook page.

Numerous people were stunned by the story.

Motel 6's privacy policy says it collects a slew of information on its guests via online bookings and physical stays, including name, gender, birthdate, image, nationality, ID, credit card info, "information collected during your visit to a company hotel or motel through the use of closed circuit television systems" and "internet systems," and a lot more.

Under the policy's "compliance with the law" section, it states that "we may disclose guest information to law enforcement agencies, or may be required to disclose it during the discovery process in litigation, pursuant to a court order, or in compliance with any applicable law, regulation, rule or ordinance."

We asked the company whether sending guest list information to law enforcement — including ICE — is the policy at any or all Motel 6 locations. We'll update if we hear anything.

UPDATE 9:30 a.m. ET Sept. 14:

Raiza Rehkoff, Motel 6 director of public relations and Latin American marketing, wrote to imply that sending guest lists to ICE is not a company-wide policy.

"Regarding the recent media story on Phoenix-area location, this was implemented at the local level without the knowledge of senior management. When we became aware of it last week, it was discontinued. We are currently investigating and will provide more information shortly."

"Over the past several days, it was brought to our attention that certain local Motel 6 properties in the Phoenix-area were voluntarily providing daily guest lists to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). As previously stated, this was undertaken at the local level without the knowledge of senior management. When we became aware of it, it was discontinued.

UPDATE 11:55 p.m. ET Sept. 14:

Rehkoff emailed a more comprehensive statement, writing that Motel 6 has made it clear that their locations are not to send guest list information to ICE.

"Moving forward, to help ensure that this does not occur again, we will be issuing a directive to every one of our more than 1,400 locations nationwide, making clear that they are prohibited from voluntarily providing daily guest lists to ICE.

Additionally, to help ensure that our broader engagement with law enforcement is done in a manner that is respectful of our guests’ rights, we will be undertaking a comprehensive review of our current practices and then issue updated, company-wide guidelines.

Protecting the privacy and security of our guests are core values of our company. Motel 6 apologizes for this incident and will continue to work to earn the trust and patronage of our millions of loyal guests."

40 Smart Hidden Storage Design That You Can Try in Your Home

Home is one of the most valuable things in our lives. In the house, there are many things that become our identity. Home design often describes who we are. There is a time that we want to tell people what we are through the design of our house. But sometimes there are also some parts that only you and your closest people that can see. It can be done by making hidden storage in the house, especially for narrow houses.

Creating hidden storage can make your home feel spacious but you can also store your belongings neatly. There are so many parts in the house that you can use to store some items hidden in your house. One of them is to use the stairs inside the house. If you remember the Harry Potter bedroom which is under the stairs, you can immediately imagine how it looks. You can place the bottom of the stairs in a shape that follows the shape of the stairs. If you don’t open it, nobody will know that it’s a storage cabinet. You can also make shoe storage on every step of the stairs, if you want to use shoes, you just need to pull the footing. It looks really brilliant. Not only supported, but you can make storage hidden on the wall of your house. If usually the closet is only hung on the wall, now you can make a closet inside the wall. That will make your room more functional. You can also try to make hidden storage in your family room table. If you want to open your storage, then you just need to pull it away. And there is more hidden storage that you can make in your home. Surely no one knows that it’s your secret storage. Like some Hidden Storage pictures below. Hopefully inspire. Let’s see it!

Where to Find the Best Horses for Sale 1

Since the internet has become part and parcel of everyday lives, selling and buying goods, services and even livestock has reached a new level of commercial enterprise.

 Although the old ways and traditional methods are still often used, selling or buying horses via the internet and online sales have taken off exponentially.

There are several things to consider before you begin to pay money to a horse seller. Ask yourself if it is something you can really afford.

Will you have the spare time available to clear out a stable and muck in on a daily basis? You should also ask if giving up a holiday is something you are prepared to do.

If you can find the time and energy to spend a couple of weeks in the sun, there must be a person available to look after your horse while you are away.

Don’t forget that transporting your horse to a temporary stable yard, so he can be looked after professionally, will take time and effort. It will also be stressful for the horse and cost you money too.

There are also several unforeseen fees involved in keeping a horse: physiotherapists, transportation fees, farriers, stable management and care. Vet bills and payments to professional riders will also come into the equation.

But if you really are happy with the investment, it is recommended you visit Horse Scout where searching for a horse is very easy. You can narrow down your search for the right horse by using the filter system.

The site offers a chance to filter just the right horse you are looking for. Checking and filtering services on the website are easy. The first drop down menu will be to decide a type of horse you want.

If you specifically want a cob, endurance or just a hacking horse, then use the filters to look only through this option. Next, decide whether you want a pure breed or part one.

  There are well over 110 various select breeds in the UK at the moment, although not all breeds are listed for sale. Usually European warmbloods and thoroughbreds are the most popular horses, when looking to buy.

When you search through the site you can decide the horse’s age. So if you are only interesting in buying, say, a five-year-old, just filter the results accordingly.

There are others filters you can narrow your search down to. An example being if you looking for a stallion, the filters can look just in that marketplace.

Congolese–Tanzania based musician Christian Bella has made a musical come back with his new single dubbed ‘Pacha’.

‘Pacha’ is Swahili word that loosely translates to twin in English. In this context, Christian Bella says he found his twin who is his true love.

He goes back to tell us of his past relationship with a woman who did not value his love.

“Kila ukweli sio lazima useme, ikizidi sana lazima ufunguke nilikua dhahabu mikononi mwa kipofu hakujua thamani yangu alinidharau udogo wa mfinyanzi ardhini kujua thamani yake waulize wafinyazi nishapata pacha wangu wa milele katambu hadhi yangu…..” the song’s lyrics read in part.

Most of the songs are collaborations with other artists like Rosa Ree, Taarab sensation Isha Mashauzi, Gaz Fabulous and Knowles Butera.

Being his first album, it is expected to be a big deal. The producers of this album are Lizer classic, Mocco Genius and Abidady. So far, ‘Pacha’ is slowly picking numbers on YouTube with over 13 thousand views.

Syria: Trump urges Moscow to rein in Assad, Iran

President Trump Wednesday urged Russia to call to order Syrian President Bashar Assad and regional ally Teheran.

This came at a meeting in Washington with Russian top diplomat Sergei Lavrov, the highest Russian official received by the US President since ascending to the top job.

“President Trump emphasized the need to work together to end the conflict in Syria, in particular, underscoring the need for Russia to rein in the Assad regime, Iran, and Iranian proxies,” the White House said following the talks between the US leader and the Russian foreign minister.

Trump in a recent phone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin called for close collaboration between rival world powers to end bloodshed in Syria.

Last week, Assad’s supporters Moscow and Iran and Turkey, which supports the rebels, agreed to create security zones in Syria in a move to allow assistance to reach displaced populations and to reinforce the ceasefire agreement reached in December.

Though Washington supports the ‘security zones’ agreement signed in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana, the Trump administration has questioned the involvement of Iran saying that Teheran does not want to favour peace in Syria and in the region.

President Trump described the meeting with Lavrov as “very, very good”.

“We had a very, very good meeting” Trump said shortly after the meeting. “We’re going to stop the killing and the death (in Syria).”

“I think that we are going to do very well with respect to Syria, I think things are happening — they are really, really, really positive,” Trump said.

Lavrov reception at the White House came in the backdrop of FBI boss James Comey sacking on Monday.

Comey argued that Russia was the biggest threat to the US democratic process, referring to Russia’s alleged involvement in rigging last year’s elections in favour of Donald Trump.

Biologique Recherche Review

Beauty Editors Are Losing Their Minds Over This Miracle Product

We're blown away: somehow, a toner became the buzziest product circulating around beauty teams everywhere. Cue the gasps: a toner? Yes, and for good reason.

It's actually marketed as a lotion, which makes sense, because this shouldn't be in the same category as your standard witch hazel. Biologique Recherche's Lotion P50 ($98 for 8.4 oz.) was created to give your skin a glow J Lo would be envious of. It's heralded by many skincare experts, makeup artists, and editors as the key to luminous, beautiful skin. And I'm a believer.

I'm not an easy sell when it comes to skin care. It takes a lot to impress me, especially since it's my favorite category in the industry. My happy place is learning about a new treatment or reading pages of research on how a product was created. I've seen, heard, and tested it all for the most part. And as a recovering overexfoliator, I've learned that more is not more when it comes to my skin, so I try to keep my routine at a maximum of five products, which is a generous step down from where I was. My job requires that I test out products frequently, but given I test everything for a minimum of two weeks, and I try not to have an expansive regimen, I work hard to curate my own routine. Getting the seal of approval to join my tiny beauty army is a big deal.

Here's something to consider as well: plenty of products give instant results. In my opinion, it's easy to give the skin a glow after the first use. But what really impresses me, like a good relationship, are products that continually put in work over time. They don't plateau and stop delivering the results I was introduced to at the beginning of the relationship. After continued use, the product changes your skin for the better. That's what makes P50 such a catch.

There's some mystique surrounding P50, as it's difficult to get. Ordering online is a process. That's my biggest complaint with the product — make it easier to purchase! Sure, it appears on Amazon, but be leery of any BR products you see there. They aren't an authorized retailer. You need to purchase from a skincare expert who carries the products or order the products online from an approved spa. That, and the fact that the product is $98, really makes you think about why you're purchasing it and what you're hoping to get out of it.

Lotion P50 is friendly for all skin types and utilizes AHAs and BHAs to exfoliate dead skin cells. There are several versions of it, which Into the Gloss breaks down beautifully. I was introduced to the original version and haven't strayed because I'm so happy with my results. The reason people are so drawn to this product is because it's not just an exfoliant. It hydrates the skin while balancing your pH levels, which we know is a huge factor when it comes to good skin. It makes your other products work better, and it's free of phenols, which is important.

Phenol is an ingredient found in many exfoliants. Its main purpose is to remove dead skin cells. It's also known to slow bacterial growth, which is why it's found in many astringents, and it can also be used as a preservative. According to EWG's skin database, it presents a moderate hazard when applied to the skin. In fact, it's been banned for use in cosmetics in Canada and Europe and has restrictions in cosmetics in Japan.

So what's in this magical toner? The active ingredients in P50 are onion extract, lactic acid, salicylic acid, burdock extract, and plankton. You're all too familiar with salicylic acid, a popular beta hydroxy acid which is in practically every acne-fighting product found in drugstores. Lactic acid, found in milk, adjusts the skin's pH and conditions the skin, too. (Now you know why milk baths used to be a thing.) The rest are all skin conditioners, which keeps your skin from having that tightened feeling afterward. The product does have an aggressive smell — it's borderline metallic — because of the onion extract. If you've used other AHA/BHA products, you've been introduced to the smell on some level. It's not unbearable by any means.

Working together, these ingredients aren't meant to strip your skin, but they do cleanse, clarify, and leave it feeling soft. After using it, you don't feel as if you have to rush to put on moisturizer because your face is so tight that it feels like your skeleton is about to break through your skin. Instead, your face feels and looks clean, you're glowing, and you haven't depleted your skin's moisture barrier in the process. And that, my friends, is why this toner sits on a throne for beauty editors.

Skills lab and elevators next phase of construction

Updates of the School’s facilities will continue beginning this spring. Phase two of construction includes renovating the building’s elevators and moving the Youngblood Skills Lab from the basement of the SOM building across the street to the parking complex on the ground level next to Quizno’s Restaurant.

The new skills lab will be larger with three lab spaces and a mock operating room for training activities, two classrooms, and four standardized patient exam rooms. Construction should begin by May with the facility completed and opened in its new location early this fall.

The other component to phase two will be the complete renovation of the SOM’s three elevators. Construction should begin in April and take a year. All of the working parts and cars and the two public elevators will go to the basement level once renovation is complete. Only one elevator will be out of service at a time. Phase two construction is estimated to cost $2.6 million and will be funded from School reserves.

“We have worked out a detailed plan that let us systematically proceed while learning and work continues. It requires us to work in stages and work to keep the noise and disruption to a minimum,” said Mark Mikkelsen, director of business affairs.

Once the skills lab is relocated, some fifth floor units will be moved to the basement level to empty space on the fifth floor for the third phase of construction. That involves renovating the northeast quadrant of the fifth floor for research lab space.

When the research space is completed labs will move to the fifth floor and the building of new docent areas on third floor can begin. “The new computer lab and Red Docent Unit 3 were our first phase of construction. We have heard great feedback from Red 3 project and plan to duplicate it with the other docent units,” Mikkelsen added.

The need to renovate the current SOM building and build a new health sciences building is in the “Top Tier” of capital projects for UMKC and the UM System. The new building would provide educational and support space for the SOM and the other health science schools.

“Funding for higher education capital improvements has been very limited the last few years. We decided to start the renovations and anticipate that additional capital funding will become available in the next few years. Funding for research lab renovations are in our ongoing capital campaign,” said Mikkelsen
