Rapidly falling costs of distributed electricity generation and storage technologies coupled with recent advances in power electronics, computation, and communication technologies have been motivating the investigation of alternative architectures for planning and operating electric power systems. These advances could offer significant efficiency, cost, reliability, and emissions benefits to cooperative utilities and their members. In this presentation we will argue that fully realizing the benefits offered by emerging technologies will require the development of “agile” and “fractal” power system design and operation methodologies. We will discuss the challenges associated with this transition. We will also describe the critical importance of new strategies for managing and analyzing data will be critically important to achieve this vision.

The topic will be to identify and analyze real attacks targeting (ICS) Industrial Control Systems. Strategically placed network sensors, with intentional vulnerabilities, were set up serving as ICS “HoneyNets” . The goal was to solicit attacks, so those activities and methods could be analyzed and correlated. The data collected and processed, establishes attacker profiles by geolocation, level of sophistication, determination, and intent specific to SCADA control devices representing a subset of an electric utility control network. This data provides real threat intelligence with attacker profiling of persistent threats against the nation’s critical infrastructure. The speaker will then broaden the topic to share numerous OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology) attack tactics used by Hackers. Many of these attacks are then used to develop threat models and worst-case scenarios that surface during RedTeam Security assessments.

The unthinkable has happened. You have had to bury your child. Life was never supposed to be like this. You never anticipated the death of your child. As shock waves move through your body, mind and spirit, you become aware that this is one of the most difficult and painful times in your life. Not only do you grieve the loss of your child, but of your hopes and dreams for the future. Your greatest fears have been realized.
Many people may feel they have failed their sacred duty of protecting their child and life may no longer seem worth living. You are living a nightmare that no one should have to experience.
Grief is a natural and normal reaction to loss. It is a physical, emotional, spiritual and psychological response. It is a complex process that affects every aspect of your life. Love, anger, fear, frustration, loneliness and guilt are all a part of grief. It is important for you to know that grief is not a lack of faith or a sign of weakness. You grieve because you have loved.
Physical reactions to grief may include appetite changes, sleeplessness, irritability, sighing, crying, upset stomach and heartache. You may feel numb and frozen inside. You may not be able to concentrate or remember things. Depression or feelings of emptiness may temporarily overcome you. You may experience sexual difficulties and find yourself turning away from your partner. You may feel like crying all the time or have trouble shedding tears. These feelings and emotions sometimes come in waves and can be paralyzing.
Anger and guilt are common emotions. You may feel angry with God, your spouse, your child, with others, or even with yourself. Feeling helpless often adds to your anger and you may lash out at the very people you love the most. Grief hurts.
The ‘if only’ thoughts and the ‘should have’ thoughts can attack at any time and send you sliding into despair as you realize there is nothing you can do to change what has happened. Blame and doubt become constant companions as you ask yourself why you couldn’t protect your child.
You may think you hear or sense your child’s presence and wonder if you are going crazy. Your arms may ache with pain while your heart seems to burst with emptiness. As intense and scary as these feelings may be, they are a normal and natural part of grief.
Grief lasts far longer than anyone expects. There are no time frames for grieving, although many think it should be over quickly. Everyone will grieve in their own way and in their own time. So, do not interpret others grieving styles as meaning they loved the child less. There is no right or wrong ways to grieve, there is only your way. Everyone grieves differently so give those around you, particularly your spouse and other family members, space and allow them to cope and handle things in their own way.
You will not get over the death of your child, but you will learn to live through it. There will always be moments of pain and sorrow as you remember the birthday, anniversary of the death or as you mark the passing of events you planned to share with your child. Be prepared for these moments of grief and do not be alarmed as they continue throughout your life. Parents do not stop loving a child simply because the child has died.
Acknowledge your loss and begin to accept the pain of grief. Do not avoid it or try to lessen the pain with drugs or alcohol. Drugs may stop or delay the necessary grieving process. Learn with others. Writing letters to your child will ease you into the journaling process and allow you to vent your feelings or say the things you wish you had said and ask for forgiveness if you feel the need to do so.
It may help to find a support group. Ask your clergy, funeral director or mental health professional for referrals. You may find The Compassionate Friends, a support group for bereaved parents and siblings, to be helpful. You do not have to grieve alone.
Tell family and friends what you need. They want to help, but may not know how. Be specific in requesting help. If you need the laundry done, say so. If you need a listening ear, let them know. Tell people that it is okay to talk about your child, to say their name and to share memories with you.
Take care of yourself physically. Grief places tremendous stress on your body. Even though you are tired and feel you have no energy at all, you need exercise. Try stretching or taking short walks. Even a little activity, breaks the stress cycle and recharges your batteries. Maintaining a healthy diet will help combat the effects of grief. Try to stay away from complex carbohydrates and caffeine. Keep cheese, yogurt or peanut butter and crackers around for snacks. Drink plenty of water. If you don’t feel like eating big meals, eat a little snack. It is better to eat less and more often to keep your energy going.
Take time going through your child’s belongings. Do not allow others to rush you or to take over. You can do whatever you wish, a little at a time. You might think about letting family members select something special to help them remember your child.
Create rituals to help you remember your child. Have other family members help you think of healthy ways to commemorate your child’s life. Establish a scholarship, donate toys or books, build a playground or plant a tree.
Children are often the forgotten grievers in a family. They are experiencing many of the same things you are, so share your thoughts and tears with them. Crying together can be a healing experience. You cannot protect each other from the realities of grief, so keep communications open. Make sure your surviving children know they are loved and included in family decisions and rituals so they do not feel abandoned by you or the child who died. Let them know that no one is forgotten in your family.
Be careful not to elevate the child who died to sainthood. Brothers and sisters often feel angry when no one remembers their less than perfect qualities. Talk openly with one another and use this time of grieving to strengthen the family ties. The very foundation of your family has been shaken and you need each other to help rebuild your family’s sanctuary.
Your child died. They did not disappear from your thoughts or your heart. Try to remember your child’s life, not just the details of the death. You will find hope and healing in the months and years ahead. Be gentle and kind to yourself and to each other. Be patient. Grief takes a long time, but love lasts forever.

Insecticides – Phoenix Environmental Design Inc.
As its name implies, an insecticide kills insects by means of chemical exposure. It destroys all forms of an insect species, from the eggs and larvae to the adults. Therefore, an insecticide differs from a repellent, which only keeps the insects away from a designated area. Insecticides come in many forms and fit within an integrated pest management strategy with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
Most insecticides come in spray form, such as aerosol cans and crop dusters. Insecticides have the potential to eradicate many beneficial insect species and alter an ecosystem, so it takes careful planning and application when using any type of insecticide. Insecticides contain toxic chemicals that harm people and animals; however, the labels include instructions and precautions for safe use. In addition, wash any fruits or vegetables that grow in areas of application.
All insecticides fit into a specific category based on their method of application and how they enter an insect's body.
Stomach insecticides – Apply this insecticide on plants, wood and other surfaces. Insects consume it and die as a result.
Contact insecticides – Spray or dust this insecticide on soft-bodied insects. It penetrates their body wall and kills them on contact.
Systemic insecticides – This type of insecticide penetrates plant tissues and kills the insects as they feed on the sap.
Fumigants – Use fumigants for insects that lurk within walls and other out-of-reach places.
Residuals – Apply residual insecticides to plant leaves, livestock, pets and surfaces where insects congregate. The insects absorb the poison and die as they touch the target area.
From fumigants to residuals, insecticides eliminate certain insects and offer curative maintenance for infestations. Apply all insecticides according to the instructions on the label, and always wear protective gear to avoid contamination. Depending on the type of insecticide, it can take anywhere between hours and seconds for it to take effect.

Because I haven’t found one as good as this one.
I spoke briefly about my favorite cleanser in my beauty favorites of 2016, but I wanted to talk more about this cleanser in depth. The Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel is my all time favorite and the greatest cleanser of them all [as far as I’ve tried so far, of course].
A bit about my skin type: I have combo skin so it’s not super dry, apart from some gruesome dry patches I suffered this winter, but it’s not super oily either. My skin is blemish prone, and it gets irritated easily at times, so I have to be careful with what I use. I mostly try to use refreshing skincare products. Nothing too creamy or oily otherwise my skin can have a bad reaction, and it sometimes feels suffocated, if that even makes sense.
This cleanser might not seem like much, but it’s a mighty one. It gets rid of my makeup so easily. It has a thin, liquidy gel consistency so it feels very nice and refreshing on the skin while being gentle. It has green tea so it’s antibacterial and makes your skin feel very calm. If my skin is throwing a tantrum, I reach for this because I know it will calm it down, and get it under control. It doesn’t strip my skin at all, and it contains botanical amino acids so it protects your skin’s moisture barrier, which is why my skin always feels soft, smooth, and hydrated afterwards.
If you’re on the market for a new cleanser, I highly recommend this one. It has quickly become holy grail status in my collection, which no other cleanser has ever done.
What’s your favorite cleanser? Let me know in the comments below!

If you would like to be notified when Appellation Earth is available for purchase, click here.
This is a blend consisting of 34% Merlot, 28.1% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19.2% Zinfandel, 11.4% Petite Sirah, 2.9% Malbec, 2.2% Petit Verdot, and 2.2% Other Red Wine for blending and acid balance.
Appellation Earth is the first NFC embedded label wine in the USA to be ledgered for quality and authenticity. Each bottle is individually numbered and digitally ledgered using Everledger technology. Everledger stores and protects its data in a digital vault in London. We do this to deter and even prevent counterfeiting of our Napa wine. Our new technology will become an industry standard for wines in the Super Premium category. Our labels are easy to use and most new IOS devices and smart phones come with NFC technology built in.
Appellation Earth's Napa Red Blend begins in the sun drenched vineyards of Napa Valley. Once our Merlot, Cabernet, Zinfandel, & other varietals arrive at the winery, we sort them for quality using a Pellenc destemmer. This state-of-the-art equipment gently removes the berries from the stems & sorts them by size. The berries are then lightly crushed and sent to open top stainless steel fermenters. Our yeasts are specially cultured for quality and color that is needed for a full bodied red blend. Yeast and nutrients are added to the fermenters where our blend will begin. Under temperature-controlled conditions, the ‘must’ will slowly ferment for several days. During this process and after, our team gently ‘punches down’ the tops of the wine to keep contact with the skins, where our rich, deep red color, dark fruit and currant flavors develop. Allowing our wine to settle, we separate the wine from the skins by pressing the ‘must’ through a state-of-the-art Bucher pneumatic press.
The unfinished wine is then put into chilled tanks for stabilizing; the process where calcium & potassium salts are removed over time by the chilling of the wine. Once stabilized, Appellation Earth is ‘racked’ to individual oak barrels, a blend of French and American White Oak. Each barrel is periodically sampled and analyzed. Not all barrel lots are the same. Some require longer aging. The average barrel aging is 12 months. We determine which barrels become part of the Appellation Earth program. These barrels are blended together and aged in stainless steel. Our team then decides the right moment when to capture Appellation Earth at its best right before bottling. Our blend is then bottled and aged several months before release.

For many of us using Google Adwords tool for keyword research has become a stable. After today’s blog post I’m hoping to shake that ground up a bit. You may know of or might not know about Google’s Insight for Search. It’s a free service that lets you see the top search terms over time and area of the world. Additionally it provides relevant search term data. So let’s take a peak under the hood and see what we can do for our keyword research with Insights for Search. Listed below is a step by step process to use Insights for Search for keyword research.
Setup Excel sheet – This is actually a pretty critical step even though it might seem like common sense. You want to make sure you have a few columns setup in your Excel sheet to allow for recording of the keyword and a column for the average search volume over the past 12 months.
Brainstorm on Keywords – Before we start using the tool you want to make a list of keywords that you think would be relevant and popularly searched. Put this down somewhere so you can use it in the next step.
Search Insights – Next is the actual search step. What are critical here are the settings you choose for your search. Under the search terms column on the tool’s web page enter your keyword. Then under the filter column choose “Web Search”, “United States” or your country for the second row of dropdown options and in the third row of dropdowns, select “Last 12 Months”. This setup will give you the search volumes for each month over the last 12 months for those users in the United States or your respective country. Once you’ve done that click the search button to initiate the search process.
Record Data – Your next step is to record the data returned from the search. Record the total number located under the “Totals” section. This will give you an average of the search volume over the past 12 month period.
Rise and Repeat – Repeat the above last 2 steps (#3-4) for each keyword you came up with in your brainstorming.
Discover Keywords – While doing the above for each keyword also take note of the suggested search terms under the “Search terms” section. Add any relevant keywords here to your list.
Sort – After you’ve completed making your list and recording all average search volumes, now it’s time to sort the list. Using Excel’s sort feature sort the list from highest to lowest for the average search volume column.
Analysis – Now that you have a beautifully sorted list of search volumes paired up with keywords it’s time to analysis and decide which keywords to use. Remember just because a keyword has the highest search volume doesn’t mean that it’s the best keyword for you to optimize for. Factors such as competition and keyword relevance to your site’s topic should be considered. Another tip; I like to use the custom highlighters in Excel to mark which keywords I’m going to be using so I don’t get confused for forget which ones I decided upon.
Recheck Annually – As you may have guessed the search volume number change monthly. So I suggest performing this task annually to make sure the keywords your targeting still have significant searches to warrant optimizing for. Mark it on your custom printed calendars so you don’t forget.
Twitter Issues - Not Working!
This is just a quick post about Twitter issues I seam to be having. It does not seam to be allowing me to login to the home page but I can from other pages using the same exact username/password. But anyways at least I got around that hurdle finally.
Although now I don’t seem to be able to post anything new on Twitter. I’m just getting the loading image when I click the update button on my Twitter home page after typing a message. I’ve even left the page open for a good hour or two and still no working!
So I then came back again and it’s still not working! Ahrrrrrrr, I hate when this kind of stuff happens. I’m not that big of a deal but I’d like to at least update my Twitter page with some of the new posts we’re making on our blog here.
I’ll try again latter and hopefully they will have the issue resolved. I’m guessing it has something to do with the browser through as I’m able to update using a twitter iPhone app. Plus I just saw this posted message on the Twitter status site: Problems with updating from Firefox 3.5. Only issue is I’m not using that version of Firefox but I did just update my version so maybe it has something to do with that.
Again hopefully they will get this issue fixed quickly!
I recently stumbled onto a great video on Domain Trust and Domain Authority. In the past I’ve been skeptical of some of the ideas and thinking behind what Rand Fish from SEOmoz has said but I agree with him on this understanding of Domain Trust and Domain Authority.
His video (posted below) outlines exactly what Domain Trust and Authority are and how to use them to benefit your site. So what are these things?
Domain Trust - Is the trust search engines put into your website’s domain. If you have a higher domain trust then you site including all pages in your site get this same trust placed on it because it’s all the same domain.
Domain Authority - This is the authority placed on your site’s domain name by search engines. Again this authority effects all pages of the same domain.
Rand outlines the calculation of each of these with the following points, which I agree are some of the important points that make up Domain Trust and Domain Authority.
Who do you link to?

After starting my own Twitter account recently for our company (check us out: @gallagherdesign) and hearing other people ask what different things meant in regards to the “Twitter language” I decided I should write a post to help define that language. Also I’m going to be updating this post as new words get introduced into the Twitter community.
Twitter - is a free micro-blogging website, or in other words a free social networking site, that offers users the ability to post short messages (usually only 140 characters in length) on their personal page which then can be viewed by anyone.
Tweet - is the name given to the short updates you can post on your twitter account/page.
Hashtag - is a tag made of a keyword or term starting with the hash character and is used to indicate a category or topic for a tweet/post on twitter. To use the hashtag you type the hash character and then the keyword/term with no spaces.
RT - means to repeat a tweet or message from someone else. The tweet/post usually contains the username of the person the message is from so as to give them credit for it.
OH - means you are posting something you overheard and is not your original thought.
@ - the @ symbol disgnates a tweet/post at the user’s username directly followed by the symbol.
Example: @gallagherdesign I love your site!
Last night I decided to test my skills on a SEO Quiz by SEOmoz.org. I was curious as to how skilled I am in comparison to other SEOs in the field. My results where quite good! I’m in the upper top cream of the crop in the SEO field based on the knowledge I know according to their quiz. My score was a 97% out of 100%, which was 246/255 questions correctly answered. According to SEOmoz.org I’m a SEO Deity (anyone scoring 91%-100% is an SEO Deity) or as my score card badge says I’m a “SEO Dark Lord”, lol whatever that means!
The test is an interesting application based on Ajax and asks you a series of questions tallying your score as you’re answering questions and then after you’re finished it will display the score badge you earned and what you’re level of SEO knowledge is. Are you an SEO Expert? Take the quiz and find out.
Welcome to our blog, this is our first post. I thought it would be good to add a blog to our site so that we can have more open communication with those of you that visit our website. Plus I’m sure you’d love some insight into us, what we know about SEO, and some free search engine optimization tips. So feel free to poke around our blog and make comments about what you find.
And here are some helpful hints for any new blog. First make sure you have the latest version of the blog software you are using, this ensure you’ll have all of the latest features and many known security issues will have been patched up.
Pick A Niche - just like a basic website and have an overall theme, before you begin posting on your blog you should come up with the theme/niche.
Blog Categories - it’s always best when you first start a blog to sit down and come up with the categories you’d like to have on your blog. You can always change things later on but with this initial outline you’ll be better at keeping things organized as the blog starts to grow.
Establish Commenting Rules - making and knowing your rules up front can make it much easier in how you’ll treat comments on your blog and will keep your visitors happy.
RSS Feed - make sure you have a RSS feed setup. Another great thing to do is use 3d party services to post your RSS feed from, like Feedburner.
Well I hope that gives you some ideas on what you might need to do when your starting your own blog up.

I wanted to start off this post super positive, be the old positive person I was. But that was not how I felt this morning at all. I so badly want to go back to that inspiring and positive person I was,sometimes I wonder why people even read my blog as I feel like I'm not doing such a great job of helping others or being inspiring and when I try to be positive it feels like it's fake, even if it isn't always. I want to start my days with positive thoughts and notice the small things in life but if I do that it feels like it's fake and I'm trying too hard. It feels like I have far too many thoughts in my mind but at the same time none of my thoughts are clear and I don't quite know what it is I am thinking?
I am once again stuck in the waiting phase, though I know what I am waiting for now. When I think about university I get excited but at the same time scared and anxious and also tired.... like I want to crawl into bed and refuse to travel or study. I'm excited and ready to study but at the same time there is alot of fear involved, something new and different. .. it does evoke anxiety and panic in me but I think it's just fear of the unknown. I don't know what awaits me and so I don't know what to expect. But it's also not really hit me..... that either I am going to move away or star travelling 3-4 hours a day which just the thought of it exhausts me and makes me wonder how I will have time for anything other than studying and travelling?
It won't be until I actually begin studying or until I get an apartment that I will realise that all of this is real... for now it's just that waiting stage. Though there is still so much to fix beforehand so I'm going to try get alot of those things done today. I have a whole checklist of things which will take me several hours to get done today.
For now... I don't know how I'm feeling. I hate being asked how I am doing or how I feel because I honestly can't answer that, but also I can't answer honestly. OK or tired seems to be the best answers though that doesn't even begin to cover how I feel. Anyway.... what I actually wanted to say was that, I want to be the positive me again and to be able to inspire others! I want to spread positivity again!!! And I am going to get back to that, to be able to start my day and spread positivity! !!
I`m sure once you have a definite plan to follow you will feel much more settled about things, right now it seems so much is up in the air. Any uncertainty in life is scary and I don`t blame you for feeling the way you do.
You may not feel like you are coming across as positive - but you are! Even when you write about your struggles that is appositive too because you are being open and honest, and that in turn is inspiring. I find it hard to open up sometimes so reading that you can do it encourages me to try also.
You don`t have to be super happy everyday - just be you. And I think you are doing a great job juggling your life and this blog - and if that isn't positive and inspiring I don`t know what is.
Hope you have a good day and get done the things you want to get done!
You cant even imagine how u save me every time i wanna starve and see your blog. I instantly feel like doing the right thing. You are so positive and inspiring that i want to recover as fast as possible , I want to be happy with food. I am trying my best just because of you. You are the most inspiring and positive person I have ever heard about . You are perfect in my eyes. Hope that made you smile . You will succeed , I'm sure.
And i truly understand your thoughts about university and future stuff, and I think a little panik and anxiety is normal,but in these moments i try to be calm and think everything will be alright, and trust yourself that you will make it:) i think calmness and self-confidence are very important.
You are too hard on yourself Izzy. You will ALWAYS be an inspiration to me and to many others. It breaks my heart to read how down you have been feeling. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You need to take care of yourself first and foremost and then everything else will fall into place. One thing I think many of us are guilty of, is being quick to criticise ourselves while not really seeing the real picture. Izzy you may feel like you aren't blogging very well at the moment but please, don't listen to that inner critical voice!! Youare doing such a FANTASTIC job and you are so selfless in that even though you don't feel well in yourself, you still continue to write such inspiring and helpful posts and continue to reach out and help so many of your readers!!

Kylie Jenner recently went a little overboard with her generosity. The beauty mogul showered one longtime fan Johnny Cyrus with an extravagant 21st birthday present.
Taking to Instagram, Johnny showed off the gift from Kylie. It was a Louis Vuitton backpack that rings up just over $2,000.
Naturally, Kylie liked the photograph to prove she purchased the gift. Jealous fans can be comforted by the fact that Johnny always goes above and beyond the call of Kylie-worship duty. He’s almost always first in line at any and every event, he owns a boat load of her products and he even has a tattoo sleeve dedicated to Kylie.
Superfan or not, the gift seems a bit excessive.
Thank you @kyliejenner for the amazing birthday gift ❤ it means so much to me!

It’s the time of year for fright fests, haunted houses and all kinds of scary attractions, but at Superior Foot & Ankle Care Center we believe the podiatrist’s office shouldn’t be one of them! Many times, patients may get a diagnosis that sounds scary. In most cases, however, the name of a disorder may sound more frightening than it is. The job of our podiatrists, Dr. Victoria Foley and Dr. Constance Omelas is to make sure you understand a diagnosis and the treatment recommended for it. Your job as a patient is to ask questions until you feel confident that you comprehend your condition and treatment plan. Below are a few foot problems that illustrate our point.
Xerosis: while this may sound like a condition common to an ancient Greek god, it’s actually a term to describe very dry skin. Dry air, showering too frequently with very hot water or the soap you are using may all be the underlying cause. In some cases, dry skin can be a symptom of a systemic disorder. Usually, however, applying a super-rich moisturizer to your feet several times a day will eliminate xerosis.
Ganglions: you may be a little frightened when you start to experience numbness, tingling and pain in your feet for no apparent reason. Oftentimes, however, these symptoms are caused by small fluid-filled sacs that occur in the tendons or joints on the top of the feet or ankles. Repetitive stress to tendon linings and joints and shoes that constrict your feet are frequently the reason behind ganglions.
Brachymetatarsia: no, it’s not a pre-historic dinosaur. This term describes a defect in the growth of a toe bone that results in one of the metatarsals being shorter than the rest of the toe bones. It will commonly be seen in both feet. In some cases, this condition will not cause pain or discomfort, but it can affect balance so careful shoe selection will be necessary. For other patients, surgical remediation may be necessary.
Don’t hesitate seeking evaluation of foot or ankle symptoms. Putting off treatment is when foot conditions can truly become scary. Contact our Long Beach office today for an appointment by calling: (562) 420-9800.

One way to hire a quality in-home caregiver very economically is to hire an individual who is willing to care for the children from two families. The nanny share may have the nanny caring for all of the children at the same time, or it may have the nanny working alternating days for the two families. This arrangement is often termed "ShareCare" or "Nanny Share" and can be advantageous to the families and the nanny; however, there are additional issues and considerations to this type of arrangement which do not arise in the traditional in-home childcare scenario. The nanny generally receives a premium salary, often 20% higher than the prevailing rate for single family care, and the families split the costs in some agreed to fashion that results in a lower individual family cost for the care. Simultaneous nanny shares work out best when there are 2 - 3 children, and ages are compatible. The mixing of newborns and napping toddlers with older, elementary aged children is not advised.
Before discussing the logistical issues, it should be pointed out that in some states, nanny share arrangements are regulated and require licensing. Simply put, in some states, when a non-relative provides out-of-home care on a regular basis, licensing may be required of the caregiver and/or the home where the care is being provided. That may not be overly burdensome, but everyone should know what the requirements will be before this option is pursued.
Communication and coordination of both family's needs and requirements is the first item to address. It is recommended that if you are considering this type of arrangement, that you first decide who the other family will be, before hiring a caregiver. Both families should be involved in putting together the work agreement and interviewing candidates. The nanny should have the opportunity to meet all parties before accepting the position.
Where will the care be given? - some families rotate; others use only one home. If care will not be given in each family's home, consideration should be given to the wear and tear which will occur in the home where the care is given.
Is that home maintained to the satisfaction of both families?
Who will be responsible for supplying the toys and replacing broken ones?
What about meals which the children and caregiver will be eating during the day - who will provide the food and pay for it?
Equipment issues: the host family usually stores the share family's pack-and-play. Other considerations include extra car seats, perhaps a tandem stroller, extra high chair, etc. Dealing fairly with these expenses is important.
Salary - should be higher than average; which, when split between two families will still result in a cost savings to each. Consider what happens if there are days where both families' children are not being cared for - same salary is recommended, but this must be thought through and worked out ahead of time to both families' satisfaction. Families and the nanny should coordinate the with-holding of payroll taxes to the satisfaction of all parties. From a tax perspective, both families are generally treated individually as employers and are responsible for their contributions to the various payroll tax accounts.
More Information on Nanny Taxes.
Schedules and Hours - will both families need care for the same hours each day or will there be an extra hour at the beginning and end of each day where only one family's children are being cared for? Logistically, will that work out in the home where the care is given? What about flexibility - does anyone have occasional overtime needs or other requirements for flexibility?
Benefits and Vacations - will the nanny receive paid holidays, sick days or paid vacation days? How do you plan to coordinate vacations? What is your backup care plan for days the nanny has vacation or, even worse, a sick day? If the host family is vacationing, will nanny be required to go to the share family's home? A full time nanny will expect to receive her weekly pay for every week of the year, even if a family does not need her care on any particular day or week. Typical benefits include paid Federal Holidays and 5 - 10 days of paid time off (vacation, sick, etc.).
Age of the children - Age may not be a problem, but think about the pros and cons of having a number of children the same or similar age or the opposite scenario - children spanning the range.
How many families - The more families, the more everyone will need to agree on each item to be discussed; but some arrangements can work with more than two families - communication is key, along with the realization that this is a business arrangement.
The Other Family - Unless you already know the other family extremely well, you should be interviewing each other to determine your own compatibility.
The anticipated length of the share arrangement - Some families enter into a nanny share as a stop gap while they await an opening in a day care center. Others are looking for home based, non-institutional, care for their child through age 2 or the start of pre-school. It is important that the families have a frank discussion of their plans and expectations. No one wants to come home on a Friday only to discover that their share partner got the coveted slot in the downtown daycare center and they will not be sharing the nanny going forward. Nanny also needs to be apprised of expectations, and given both notice and a reference when the share comes to an end.
Child Care Philosophy - How do you want the children disciplined? Do you have particular feeling about nutrition? What are your opinions regarding television? the families must agree on these items - the nanny cannot enforce different rules for the children being cared together.
Illnesses - It is important to work out what happens when the children are sick. It will be possible that the sick child will be living at the home where the care is being provided that day. Will the care be given at the other home that particular day?
Family Meetings - It is recommended that both families plan to get together at least once each month to discuss issues which have arisen or may be on someone's mind. In addition to discussing issues which relate primarily to each other, there will be the issue of how the nanny is doing which should be discussed.
Contact Person - It will probably be easier for the nanny if there is a primary contact person which he or she can go to for answers to questions. Obviously if the issue related directly to Family A's child and the contact person is the mother in Family B, then Family A's parent should still be contacted; however, in many situations, the issues are more general and often relate to daily issues which effect everyone - this method often helps with consistency in working with your employee.
Handling the Paperwork - Each family will probably be treated as an employer of the nanny; however, you should confirm this with your tax advisor. Will the nanny receive one paycheck or two? Will each family report their portion of the nanny's salary on the appropriate federal tax forms?
Transitions and Termination - Nanny share arrangements typically end when a child begins full time school or a new baby is born. Plan for the transitions, and discuss appropriate 'notice.' A family that leaves the share without notice leaves both the nanny and the other family in a bind - nanny compensation is clearly impacted.

The EOS price on Wednesday posted more than 10% in gains against the US dollar owing to strong fundamentals.
The cryptocurrency opened the day at $2.7253 on Bitfinex but dropped during the early Asian session to establish an intraday low towards $2.7066. It briefly bounced back as the course matured and entered the European trading hours, setting fresh high towards $2.8402. Before the US session kicked in, the EOS market had extended its upside gains to establish a new intraday high at $2.9076.
While the rally came as a part of an overall crypto recovery, which saw almost all the significant coins, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, establishing fresh session highs, EOS was among the few coins that had a strong fundamental to back its interim bullish sentiment.
Huobi, the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, said in their official press release that they would create an EOS-based derivative platform where traders would be able to take both long and short positions using the EOS tokens. The announcement also revealed that EOS tokens would be used to arbitrage, speculate, and hedge on the platform. The event overall promised growth in demand for the cryptocurrency.
Before EOS established fresh highs, the project also attracted a significant proposal from Brendan Blumer, the CEO of its creator, Block.one.
To those who are unfamiliar with how the EOS blockchain works, the blockchain project is based on a distributed-proof-of-stake (DPoS) protocol that has block producers instead of miners. EOS users vote for candidates by staking their tokens, and those with the 21 largest stakes become the active block producers. They contribute by producing blocks in turns, thus confirming transactions at a much faster rate than a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain does. These winners, according to the EOS constitution, cannot pay any benefit to their voters.
Article IV — No Vote Buying: No Member shall offer nor accept anything of value in exchange for a vote of any type, nor shall any Member unduly influence the vote of another.
In early 2018, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin had warned the community about the limitations of EOS’s plutocratic governance model, which he said ensured centralization. The fears became real when — in October 2018 — a leaked Excel spreadsheet allegedly showed Huobi accepting kickbacks for voting certain entities for the role of EOS decision makers.
However, the problem it created was leaving users with no means to earn rewards even after staking their EOS tokens.
The suggestions made by Blumer would allow users to earn dividends from the block producers, much like a public stock company that pays its shareholders on a timely basis.
The proposal is now in its infancy but could see the light of the day should the EOS community favors it in large numbers. If implemented successfully, the “voter rebates” solution could improve the EOS adoption rate, increasing its value in the long-term.

Today Joyce came up to spend the day with me. She is one of our most enthusiastic CSA members and Farmers Market helpers, working every Saturday, rain or shine. I love it when she comes to visit. Her energy is such an inspiration. While she was here today, we worked on this pot sticker recipe. We actually tried out a couple of versions, but this is the one that we all liked the best. They are a perfect way to use up some of that Stir Fry Mix and if you are ambitious, you could make a double recipe and freeze half. If you want to freeze some, lay them out flat on a parchment lined baking tray until they are frozen and then you can put them into a ziplock bag.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil on medium high. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and celery, stirring quickly. Cook a minute or so, it will be nicely fragrant. Next add the carrot and cabbage, stir and cook a short 2 minutes, add the stir fry mix and mushrooms. When vegetables are sufficiently soft, add the tofu, toss and cook one more minute. Remove to a mixing bowl. For the seasoning, mix together in a small bowl all of the seasoning ingredients, then pour over the cooked vegetables and mix well. Once cool enough to handle, place one wrapper in the palm of your hand and spoon about 2 tsp onto the center or off to one side, depending on the shape and how you like to fold yours. Dip your finger into a little bit of water to wet the inside edge of the wrapper all the way around before folding, this will help keep your seal. To cook, heat 2 to 3 TB of oil in a clean skillet over medium high (my medium high is pretty hot, so that is what works for me. You want your oil to be quite hot). Quickly place as many dumplings into the pan as will fit and allow to brown. We let ours brown quite a bit, but that is really a personal preference. Flip them over when they are browned to your liking. Cook just long enough to start the browning process, then quickly pour over 2 to 3 TB of water and put on a tight fitting lid. It will splatter so be quick. Let them steam a couple of minutes, then enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.


text: Obrein Simasiku OMUTHIYA – Some learners in Oshikoto Region have fingered peer pressure, which includes an insatiable lust for money, as a leading contributor to teenage pregnancy among themselves. They also said lack of parental guidance was another catalyst to the scourge. Learners mostly envy and tend to copy their peers in terms of lifestyle, and later end up getting caught up in the limelight. They stated that most of the learners that fall pregnant are engaged in sexual relationships with older men, who in turn give them money and material things. This is influenced by lack of parental support – especially in material terms – which leads learners to engage in sexual acts in exchange for resources. Learners at Iipundi Senior Secondary School in Omuthiya shared these sentiments during a meeting organised by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Resources and Community Development. The interaction pertained to the motion on the impact of teenage pregnancy. As part of the nationwide consultations, the committee was interacting with learners, parents and teachers on what is to be done to reduce teenage pregnancy and why it is so prevalent among school-going children. “We would like to find out why and what are the reasons for the high pregnancy rate among learners. Could it be that you are forced or raped? Tell us as lawmakers what is happening on the ground that we are not seeing, apart from the pregnancies, so that you can guide us and see how we can strengthen or amend the policy,” said Elma Dienda, who is part of the standing committee. On the other hand, the deputy chairperson and leader of the committee, Margaret Mahoto, informed the learners that the information to be gathered will be tabled in cabinet for discussion for final discussion and a decision on what solutions or measures are to be put in place. “Honestly I am not happy to note that 127 young children fall pregnant every day in our country – this is a high number if you multiply it by 365 days. That’s why we are here to hear from you on what are the challenges and how would you want the situation to be alleviated,” stressed Mahoto. “Getting pregnant is not a fashion, it is a bad thing to emulate just because your friend got impregnated and you want to feel how it is. Getting pregnant at such a young age brings poverty,” cautioned Mahoto. Meanwhile, during the deliberations some parents admitted that there is negligence on their part in terms of parenting and providing support..

“Accelerator” is arguably an overused term in the universe of startups, their first steps, and onwards. However, fostering growth or just surviving may be less “mission impossible” for a startup business with backstopping and mentorship from an accelerator programme.
It is estimated that there are over 2000 accelerators worldwide, but the number is increasing exponentially. In order to get your startup boosted, you can struggle by yourself or try to be accepted into a mentorship-focused programme. It might be hard to get a handle on the pros and cons of accelerators, but the fact is that most of the startups fostered by them are successful.
In order to get actual feedback from someone dealing with the real-time challenges of steering a startup through an acceleration programme, we picked up valuable information from Tim Potočnik, one of the three founders of Eurosender, the door-to-door shipping platform valued at €3.6 million last year and with a 400% rate of growth since then.
Getting into an accelerator is, above all, highly competitive. For instance, the well-known American seed accelerator Y Combinator accepts approximately 1 to 2% of the startups which apply. The accelerators all follow pretty much the same model: they offer startups cash, they evaluate the companies that apply, and then they ask for a share of the profit. “They will own a little piece of your company. So if you become very successful, their piece of the company will also be more valuable and they will be able to make a great return from their early bet with money and the time they invested in you’’, notes Eurosender co-founder Tim.
Backstopping from an accelerator is definitely not to be taken for granted as it can provide you services such as mentorship, valuable exposure to investors and, of course, a worthy boot camp experience with others in the same phase of developing their businesses, with people struggling with similar issues and challenges. “The accelerator is very important, it keeps you in the right mindset. Not to be defined by limitations. You are not afraid to approach investors, and think globally”, explains Tim. He also considers that a good accelerator will provide lots of hands-on expertise in areas such as legal, finance, marketing, product development, or security of the product in order to go further.
Eurosender was in its startup phase when, 2.5 years ago, the three founders got into their first accelerator, ProSiebenSat.1 Accelerator, in Munich, after working from their homes and in a tiny office in Ljubljana. The idea behind Eurosender came to light after an annoying situation when Tim wanted to ship his luggage back to Ljubljana once his Erasmus mobility in Wroclaw was finished. As a customer, Tim had to calculate prices, distances and dimensions by himself from .pdf documents, a process which annoyed him further because the service was extremely expensive. Eurosender provides what Tim couldn’t find at that time: an easy way to ship luggage. “Our vision is to tell you the best option to get your item from A to B. All the rest we figure out for you, to provide you the best option and price ratio”, adds Tim.
Today, Eurosender is operating under the umbrella of another accelerator, Level39. Tim takes the time to explain that it’s an incubator for late stage companies as “it’s not like a common accelerator, here they bring in a venture capitalist every week that you can meet, and they will offer you their network if you need it”.
While accelerators make demonstrable contributions to startups’ initial growth, it is extremely important to make intelligent use of the startup ecosystem and pick the best options from the country where your business is located. Eurosender, for instance, has a presence in London, operations in Ljubljana, and is developing an office in Berlin. The reasons, according to Tim: “In London there is a lot of capital available, lots of investors and senior talent, but it is a very hard place to start because everything is so expensive. Ljubljana doesn’t have any kind of capital from investors or private equity funds, but offices are really affordable and there is a great supply of talented young people.” As for Berlin, Tim finds that the city is a good middle ground where there is a lot of capital for investment and everything is quite cheap. “We are trying to take the best from these three cities”, concludes Tim.
Over the past 2.5 years, Eurosender raised €800 000 in cash, and 24 employees are currently holding the reins. The company is presently operating in all 28 EU countries but is becoming locally focused on specific markets. Its success is all about providing an easy-to-access service that everyone needs more or less frequently: sending luggage from point A to point B. At 24 years old, Tim is aware that “being successful is a cocktail of dedication, hard work, and finding new ways to do old things… and to have a little money to grow” as he has already attested.
Behind the Eurosender success story, there is definitely that cocktail of multiple factors. Launching a business idea can be very hard, but the next steps can be even more challenging. It is not easy to choose the most appropriate accelerator for your business (ideally a highly specialized one), nor is it easy to know exactly what you want to achieve within one, in order to embellish your startup’s CV and foster the growth that you want so much.

(Parsippany, New Jersey) – 24 July 2018 – Acrow Bridge, a leading international bridge engineering and supply company, recently furnished 10 modular steel bridges to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) in support of the agency’s peacekeeping work throughout the country. Acrow also provided in-country training to MINUSCA personnel on the assembly, installation and maintenance of the critical infrastructure assets.
Acrow’s bridges were sold to MINUSCA and will be used in various locations throughout the country where quality bridge infrastructure solutions are particularly critical. Upon receipt of the purchase order, it was required that Acrow have the bridges on-site within 90 days. Owing to the modular nature of Acrow’s bridges, the components of the structure were able to be shipped in standard 20’ (6.1 meters) containers and transferred to trucks for the final shipping destination, the capital city of Bangui.

My passion is research on parenting field. Since 2000 I have been doing this research and yet it never bored me out. On the contrary! I see more and more facts to prove my conviction: Simon Soloveychik was right! S.Soloveychik is the author of the book Parenting For Everyone, which my husband and I interpreted into English and which is in the process of publishing.
Somewhere inside of their souls some mothers and fathers feel that their hearts are lacking love to their children. They won’t tell anybody, but they feel it. They know other parents can give their children more because they are generous by their magnanimity, tactfulness to children.
Somewhere inside of their conscience some mothers and fathers feel they lack intelligence to explain to their children what is happiness, what is freedom, what is dignity, and what is the difference between dignity and self-esteem.
Don’t close your eyes on these questions! Children look for the answers when they are seven and when they are seventeen. If we don’t answer right, they will learn it wrong.
This is my passion. I can’t tell everything what is in my mind: too much to say.

The Spa Club is Hilton's solution to this financial gap by providing a high-quality hotel spa experience and day access to the very best fitness and spa facilities with convenient, regular appointments at an affordable price.

We just found a scorpion inside our house and I am scared there's more just waiting to attack while I am not looking. We just bought this house and moved in inJanuary, it's a brand new home and we have had the exterminator come before we moved in. Tomorrow we are calling him to come in again, I am thankful we found it and it didn't sting out lo but I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight.
Where do you live? Are they usually found in that area? We found one here in Ohio, where they are NOT usually found. Dh found it on our stairs, and worse, decided to keep it as a pet, ugh. Then, to make it even worse it had babies! I was terrified that we had a daddy scorpion somewhere, unitl I researched and found out they can be pregnant for like a year. We never had another one and we got rid of mama and her brood. It was really disgusting, dh still owes me forr that. We think my mom may have brought it from FL, since she had just come for a visit.
LMAO...Shea you poor, poor woman! :o) Emberbaby, try not to worry too much. Whenever I have seen scorpions (I lived in Florida for a year) I have only seen one, not multiples, so chances are there is only the one. I know it is hard since we all worry about our lo's so much. I hope you can get some sleep.
Hey emberbaby, yep we've had one too. We also live in a new home (now two years old) in the same city as you. We only saw the one and have never seen another one. At the time we found it there was a house being built right next to us and I think that had something to do with it. So glad your lo was not stung. I was stung as a child and it hurt like hell.
Oh my goodness! I'm like Cyndi...I would've been out of there...only they probably would've been hauling me out on a gurney!
ugh! I'm glad we don't have much in the way of scorpions around here! We just have tarantulas... but not a whole lot and at least they don't sting! I would just die! Was it big?
Eww w w w w w w w w !!!!!!! Scorpions, roaches, furry spiders, and centiedes I just DON'T do. I wouldn't sleep either!! And I'd have my lo in my arms all night long.
