The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is a designer crossbreed from the United States. It’s a cross between a purebred Boston Terrier and French Bulldog.
It was developed in the 1990s and designed with the intent to increase the French Bulldog’s stamina and mass, while also getting rid of certain health hazards that are related to the breed.
These dogs are very cute and affectionate and will be a faithful companion to you and your family.
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is quite an easy dog to train.
What Price are Faux Frenchbo Bulldog Puppies?
The price of Faux Frenchbo Bulldog puppies is anywhere between $850 to $1,600.
How to Find Reputable Faux Frenchbo Bulldog Breeders?
You will have to do a little digging to find the right breeder. Asking people for referrals should be your first step.
Ask your local veterinarian and friends who own healthy pups from breeders for information about where they found their dogs and why they felt confident in those breeders.
Do some research on any breeders you come across as options. You should ask them where their puppies are coming from and whether these dogs are prone to diseases.
Find out as much as you can before meeting with the breeder so that you will have all your answers already and only need to confirm them with the breeder.
Even if your research doesn’t turn up anything of concern, you should still be vigilant when you meet with breeders.
There are some basic red flags that you need to keep an eye out for. Beware of breeders who sell puppies to you immediately once they find out that you have cash.
A reputable breeder will want to know if you’re a competent dog owner for the puppy that you are trying to get.
Most of the time, an irresponsible breeder is only doing the job for the money and won’t care where their pups find homes.
A good breeder will be more than willing to show you the breeding process. If the breeder tells you the facility is off limits, they may be hiding something.
Puppies of certain breeds may be prone to specific illnesses or other health problems. A reputable breeder acknowledges this and will give you tips on how to best raise and care for them.
Reputable breeders should be willing to give you the information of previous clients to whom you can speak.
If they are not forthcoming about past clients, they may be hoping you won’t dig for more information.
They will show you around their facility and disclose the pros and cons of getting their puppies. They won’t give away any of their puppies until they know that you’re the right fit.
Many breeders run clean, healthy, and happy businesses. With the proper research, you can find reputable breeders and bring home a puppy that will live a happy and healthy life.
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is also known as Faux French Bulldog, Frenchbo Bulldog, Frenchbo, Frenchton, and Boston Frenchie.
Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs are small dogs. They will be tiny, delicate puppies that require gentle handling.
Minimal shedding is yet another reason why the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is such a popular breed.
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog may sometimes be a bit stubborn.
Like with all designer dog breeds, there’s plenty of genetic variability that can be present in this dog.
The ideal cross between the French Bulldog and the Boston Terrier results in a dog with the slighter frame and athleticism of the Boston Terrier and the sturdy bone structure of the French Bulldog.
The Boston Terrier’s buggy eyes are reduced, so the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog offspring does not inherit the bulging eyes which are characteristic of its Boston Terrier parent.
They have short hair, and they shed very little.
The grooming of Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs is quite simple. Because they have short hair, they do not need regular brushing.
You may bathe your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog less frequently if you wipe their coat regularly with a damp cloth.
Their nails should also be clipped regularly, approximately every two weeks.
Additionally, you should brush your dog’s teeth every day to prevent tooth decay.
How Big is a Full-Grown Faux Frenchbo Bulldog?
Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs can grow up to 15 inches and weigh 20 pounds.
What is the Life Expectancy of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog?
The life expectancy of the Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs is 12 to 15 years.
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is also known as Boston Frenchie.
Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs crave human companionship. They make great pets, and they love children.
They can be quite energetic and playful at times, but they also love to cuddle with their humans.
They exhibit a combination of traits from their parent breeds. You can expect them to make a fine canine companion that is intelligent, eager to please, obedient, entertaining, fun, and independent.
Before getting a Faux Frenchbo Bulldog, be sure that you have the time to dedicate to caring for and playing with them.
They are affectionate, good-natured, and friendly. They enjoy getting loads of attention from their human family.
Cuddling with their owners is just one of many ways that they show their love.
While Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs can get along well with children, they do better with older kids that know how to handle them gently.
When it comes to other pets, a Faux Frenchbo Bulldog will typically tolerate other animals but may show some aggression towards other dogs.
They are intelligent dogs, but they can also be demanding and stubborn, much like French Bulldogs.
This could make training a challenge. Using tact and being firm, as well as incorporating positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency will make it easier to handle your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog.
These dogs love to have fun and play, and they can be quite entertaining, especially when they are taught how to do tricks.
If your dog is particularly stubborn, though, stick with obedience training that will teach him how to follow commands.
Use rewards and repeat the same training exercises until they have been mastered.
Feed your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog high-quality dry dog food, high-quality wet food, or a combination of the two.
To know how much you should feed your dog, just follow the instructions on the dog food pack. The amount of food will vary depending on your dog’s size and level of activity.
Split the feeding up into at least two meals per day to control the amount of food that your dog eats. This will help prevent overeating that could lead to unnecessary weight gain.
How Much Exercise Does a Faux Frenchbo Bulldog Need?
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is an offspring to two parents that don’t need to get that much exercise and physical activity on a daily basis.
You won’t have to worry about exercising your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog that much, either.
These dogs will be happy if given anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes of exercise each day outside the house.
You don’t have to do any vigorous type of exercise with your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog if you’re not a fan of exercise yourself.
A simple and light walk outside the house will do this dog just fine.
The Faux Frenchbo Bulldog may be susceptible to any of the common ailments found within its parent breeds.
However, there is no guarantee that they will suffer from any of those problems because every dog is unique and there’s no way to predict their health over the course of his life.
Faux Frenchbo Bulldogs are more likely to be sensitive to extremes in temperature, as well as eye problems, digestive concerns, respiratory disorders, or breathing difficulties.
Because of its inherent desire to make its humans happy, the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is quite an easy dog to train and won’t give you a lot of headaches along the way.
However, they may sometimes be a bit stubborn, a trait that they get from their French Bulldog parent.
This can lead to some training challenges along the way.
They make an excellent companion dog but not much of a good working dog.
Because this dog is a companion dog, you need to make sure that you give your Faux Frenchbo Bulldog all the time, love, care, and affection that they deserve.
If you’re not up for such a commitment for whatever reason that may be, then perhaps this is not the ideal dog for you.
For anyone looking for a dog to live within your apartment, the Faux Frenchbo Bulldog is an excellent option because it’s perfectly suited for life indoors.
This dog does not need a large backyard to play around in like larger breeds do. They are perfectly fine with spending the majority of their day indoors because of how small they are!

Please contact me if you have connections to Radzilow, and I don't already know about you.
I have a lot more material and information about Radzilow families that is not online.
If your family was from Radzilow or you had branches in this town, I will surely have additional data and actual records for many of your ancestors and relatives.
as well as on a two-hour documentary which featured Radzilow.
The town had a population of 671 Jewish residents in 1921.
Some residents estimated the Jewish population at about 1,000.
Some information from: Where Once We Walked. A Guide to the Destroyed Communities of the Holocaust, by Gary Mokotoff and Sallyann Amdur Sack. Published by Avotaynu, Inc., Teaneck, New Jersey, 1991.
Assuming the general population grew steadily from 1857 to 1921, and taking into account that Jews started to emigrate in much larger numbers during the early 1900's (there was a huge drop in their percentage of the population after WWI, from 55% to 34%, and therefore, they accounted for a large drop in the overall population as well), one can extrapolate that, at its high point, from 1905-1914, there were over 2,000 persons living in Radzilow, with Jews making up over 1,000 of those. Take note that these figures do not include surrounding farms and villages right outside of the town itself (see note for 1885).
- Invading Swedish armies sacked the town in the 1650's. In 1708 Poland became the scene of a war between Russia and Sweden. Swedish armies, commanded by King Charles XII, occupied the Radzilow area and built a fort to command the Biebrza crossings, about 15 km. upstream from Radzilow.
- In 1885, the parish of Radzilow, belonging to the dekanate [deanery of the Catholic Church] of Szczuczyn, numbered 2,435 "souls" [believers]. The community of Radzilow, including the town and nearby villages, numbered 4,497 inhabitants.
Located on Piekna Street. The year of its foundation is unknown, covering a surface of .56 hectares, it's not enclosed, it's desolate, and there are no tombstones; local authorities had used it as (or converted it to) a garbage dump.
Translated from: Remembrances & Monuments of Jewish Culture in Poland.
Assembled, compiled and introduced by Przemyslaw Burchard. Warsaw, 1990.
The Synagogue, made of wood in the 17th century, stood until the Holocaust.
and about events occurring in the school and about town. It is in Polish.
From: Where Once We Walked. A Guide to the Destroyed Communities of the Holocaust, by Gary Mokotoff and Sallyann Amdur Sack. Published by Avotaynu, Inc., Teaneck, New Jersey, 1991.
Take note that this method only finds exact spellings. Many surnames are mentioned throughout the web page with many different spellings, from the original Polish spellings, to Yiddish variants, to transliterated English versions. Surnames in pages like the Ellis Island records can be completely off. While most town name references are standardized to the current Polish spellings, in certain cases some towns can be found using different spellings, depending on the context.
If you enter a certain spelling for a given surname and don't find anything, that doesn't mean it can't be found under alternate spellings. Not to mention the fact that less than a quarter of my material is online, and I don't put a single vital record (birth/death/marriage) on the web page. So, if you believe your family came from Radzilow or any nearby town in Lomza gubernia, please contact me and I will be glad to help you.
Important Note: It doesn't matter if the search result comes up empty because of alternate spellings or because it's not on the web page itself. If your family came from Radzilow or nearby, I almost certainly have more information, so please contact me regardless.

Moving to a foreign country is one of the biggest life transitions you can ever make. While it can be challenging and fraught with paperwork, it can also be an immensely rewarding and enriching experience. Whether the move is for business purposes or for personal reasons, being well prepared will make your transition much easier, and much more enjoyable. This article will show you the things you will want consider.
Make sure your passport is up to date and you have a visa that will allow you to move to a country. If there is a potential move, especially on short notice, make sure you are prepared for that eventuality. Everything that you can prepare ahead of time will be that much less that you have to prepare when the time comes. Problems with your visa may cause delays in your ability to go.
Make sure your passport is current. If you need a new one, that is the first order of business. It can take several weeks to apply for and receive a new passport.
Discussing the packing and shipping arrangements. Interview at least three different companies and get their quotes for the move. Find out what each company is prepared to do: specialized packing, dealing with your wine cellar (this can be problematic), helping with pets, timing guarantees, storage at the other end, etc. Also, discuss the possibility of storing possessions in your current country. If this move is short-term and you intend to return, it might be best to leave some—or even most—items behind.
Deciding what to do with your current home if you own it. Are you going to sell it or rent it out? If selling, talk to a real estate agent and tell them about your plans. Ask yourself if you have time to wait for the best offer, or you need to sell quickly to get the money. Be careful how you convey this to your agent—you still want the best price, whatever your hurry.
If renting it out, interview agents responsible for rental properties and be sure you are one hundred percent happy with their services. Ask for references and if possible, favor an agent used to renting out properties for overseas landlords—it's much harder to be an overseas landlord and much can go wrong in your absence if the agent fails to meet their basic obligations of checking the property regularly and vetting tenants properly.
Dealing with mortgages, leases and loans. You will need to talk to your bank or other lenders about handling these financial obligations most effectively.
Talking to your children's schools about the upcoming change. You will need evidence of your children's current level of schooling, as well as a guarantee of willingness to be emailed or phoned by the school in your new country, if relevant. Ask the guidance counselor about any transition issues you might find useful.
Vaccinations and visas. Be sure that you are up-to-date with relevant vaccinations and obtain all visas. Sort out any accompanying documentation needed for a permanent or long-term move.
If you're planning on renouncing your citizenship of your current country and taking on new citizenship, this will take considerable time, so start working on this from the beginning of your planning.
Developing a timeline for packing. Follow this with dedication, as it can give you plenty of time to deal with things that go wrong—and they will!
Think about your goals for your life in a new country. Archana Ramamoorthy, the Director of Technology Product Management at Workday, says: "When I moved to the US, the main things I looked at were visa requirements and the cost of living. I'd considered moving to the UK, but it was much more expensive to live there than it was in the US. I needed to understand what my financial burden would be. I also knew that I wanted to go to the best universities in the US, otherwise there was no point in moving abroad, so I took out a student loan to help with the cost. I knew that even though it was more expensive, I'd have better opportunities coming out of school."
Give adequate time. Some corporations and government entities that send their staffs overseas are quite happy to give anything from a few months to a few days notice that you are handpicked to move overseas. In this case, ask for as much help as they are willing to pay for—you will need it.
If you do have the luxury of your own timeline, give yourself at least six months. You will need every moment of this time to tie up many loose ends, including dealing with your property, car, pets, insurance, packing, and shipping, banking, educational transitions and more. In some cases, you may not have this luxury.
Consider looking for accommodation in the new country as soon as possible. Will you stay in hotel or serviced apartment accommodation while looking for a place to buy or rent?
Avoid buying a place over the internet. You could buy something terrible without noticing. You need to be on location to get a sense of the neighborhood, to see the dry rot at the base of the house, to realize that it is overpriced!
One way around this is for you or one family member to do a forward visit, to check out real estate to see what's on offer and whether anything is a good deal. You may also know somebody in your new country who can be your eyes and ears.
Even if you want to buy a house or apartment in the new country, it is recommended that you begin by renting. Renting gives you a quick out if you choose the wrong location or you simply do not like being in the new country. After at least six months, you will have a better idea of wanting to stay or not, plus a much better understanding of the real estate and preferred areas to live. This means less pressure for you and a greater likelihood of making the right decision.
Be aware that you will initially be without your shipped goods. This makes living in a hotel or a serviced apartment initially a good choice.
Set up banking accounts that work for you. It is becoming easier to transfer money between many countries without giving up too much in processing fees. Talk to your current bank to explore the options for setting up transfers—some banks even allow transfers to overseas accounts via cell phones, so look into all the options.
Unless you are planning to never return to your current country, it is advisable to keep at least one bank account open in your current country. The longer you have an account open, the better your credit standing. When you do return, it is easier to start where you left off than to have to open new accounts. Internet banking makes it easier for you to monitor the account in the country you have left.
In some countries, accessing money will be a lot harder than in others. Be sure to discuss the challenges and solutions with your bank and a reputable financial adviser with knowledgeable about the country that you are moving to.
See if people you know are already living in the country. They can be an invaluable source of help if you need information, support, and connection. Let them know about your plans and it is likely that they will do what they can to ensure that you get the information you need.
Do an honest evaluation of your goods and begin to let go. It is a reality that we need very little to live; despite that, our houses tend to be overstuffed with consumables we have accumulated over the years. We do not use or need many of those. Rather than dragging all this stuff with you, or paying to keep it in storage, do an honest appraisal of the need for keeping much of your belongings. Where possible, donate and give away the items you do not need. It is far better to travel light and not have to worry about items in storage than to burden yourself.
Receive cash for your items. Use online auction sites ad-listing websites to get rid of your items. Even if you are pressed for time, this can be a great way to sell items in bulk, even whole roomfuls. Tell people that you are moving overseas and that it all has to go. People love to grab a bargain!
Be ruthless. Every thing added means greater costs in shipping.
Occasionally, shipping containers fall overboard, while damage can occur to goods at any stage of transit due to rough handling and other mishaps. Bear this in mind when lugging your antique collection of whatnots with you––it may be better to place in storage or to sell and have the cash. Become adequately insured for any mishaps during shipping.
Is your pet allowed in the country you are headed to?
How will your pet travel? Find out about safety, costs, and all requirements, such as pet passports.
How is your pet's health? Your pet needs to be thoroughly vaccinated and medically fit to travel. There may be other requirements of the country of destination too––check.
Consider your pet's frailty when making the decision. Taking an old or disabled pet with you may be too much trauma for the pet.
Find out about your driver's license in the new country. Some countries are happy to accept your existing one from another country or to accept an international driver's license. Others want you to take their local tests after a set time. Avoid waiting to find out––it can be hard to be without your ability to drive in a new place.
Provide the appropriate amount of notice to your place of work. If you are not already traveling for the place you work at, you will need to abide with their policies on resignation. Be sure to plan in plenty of time to tell them. However, unless there is something obviously affecting your place of work because of the planning, it is not recommended to inform them until later in your planning. This is in case you change your mind or your place of work thinks about shifting you out earlier than what you might have counted on.
Know what to do if you have electronics. If travelling between North America/Japan and the rest of the world, you will need adapters and transformers. The wrong voltage/frequence combination can damage them. Even if travelling between two countries that use the same voltage, you will need adapters.
What should you do earliest in your moving process?
Yes! This is the most important step in your moving process and should be started as soon as you decide to move. A plan should include everything from deadlines and immigration requirements to packing lists and accommodation options. Read on for another quiz question.
Tell your employer you're moving.
Definitely not! While giving your employer notice is important, if you tell them right away they might decide to ask you to leave sooner rather than later. Consider your employer's policies of adequate notice before deciding when to tell them about your move. There’s a better option out there!
Not necessarily Pets are an important consideration when moving internationally, but you don't have to give them away! Even if you do decide that giving them away is the best option for everyone, you certainly don't need to do it first! Pick another answer!
Get a new driver's license.
Nope! Research what you'll need to do in your new country to get a driver's license, but this doens't need to be done as soon as you decide to move. In fact, you might not be able to actually do anything about it until you arrive in your new country! Choose another answer!
Get ready for big changes. Moving to a place, nothing like your home might give you a culture shock and make the move more difficult, but this will start to be overcome after a few months of immersion. People do things differently in different countries—which is why we call them "foreign" countries—and we are alien to their ways. Yet, this is the biggest and amazing opportunity you will have and to seek to understand a different culture. Once you let yourself into the thinking of people from another country, you will never go back; it is much harder to see the world as "us and them" once you know this experience.
If you're not familiar with the customs of the local people, do some research beforehand and get to know the ways as much as possible. It is better that you have a surface understanding than none at all—at least this gives you the opportunity to be understanding and to get more involved in cultural events and customs when you're in the new country. It will also help you avoid insulting the local people.
Realize that small comforts lost may become bigger issues than you ever imagined. That favorite coffee drink you loved at home and that favorite place you used to visit can become glaringly obvious to you when they are missing from your life. It is important to acknowledge the sense of loss you feel, but to remain open to finding favorite new experiences instead. The undiscovered may even herald favorite things you will learn to love more than what you were used to in your original home country.
It's normal to feel sad or depressed due to these losses; it will pass once you get used to the new country.
If you move from a country with a lot of choice in consumables to one with a lot less choice, you may find life challenging. No longer do you have the aisle of breakfast cereals (it is now down to a small rack) or the amazing choice in cars (you have either the blue or the gray one now). Initially, this can be extremely frustrating. You have two choices—one, accept it and realize that a lack of choice frees up thinking time and spares planetary resources, or two, travel back to your home country and buy up (or have understanding family and friends send you care packages). While for many people the lack of choice does not really fade with time (you will find yourself reminiscing frequently about the days when you could get X item in X different styles) but you do get used to fewer choices!
Be ready for the bloom to fade after a few months. Initially, the first few months will feel like an amazing vacation and you will spend a lot of it discovering things and feeling excited. However, eventually you will realize that you live there and it is not half as exciting as you thought. For some, this realization can hit sooner rather than later, as bureaucracy, household maintenance issues and minor crises interrupt the flow of settling in.
Early on, ask about decent tradespeople. Eventually, something is going to break. In addition, you are going to need someone reliable who turns up when they say, they will and who charges fairly. If you have not already lined up such people through asking others who do know, you are fair game for being taken advantage of, and overcharged. This can be a nightmare experience, and since you have the freedom to plan rather than wait for the ax to fall, plan.
Stay calm when dealing with bureaucratic procedures. Most countries have forms, most have queues, and most have the most insanely ridiculous reasons for filling out things and waiting. Yours is not to question why but to learn via locals and online sites how to manage these issues as best as possible. There is always a way, be sure to learn about the right way. If you do not ask, you will never know.
Be ready to accept limits on your usual routines and ways of doing things. Another form of culture shock is learning what you cannot do, even though you could do in your old country. You are not in a position to question it—reach an acceptance that this is how things are. Whether the society you have gone to is more or less permissive than what you are used to, be sure to do the right thing to fit in. If you wanted to create a ruckus or take a stand, then moving overseas is not the right way about it; stay home for that!
Get support. Moving countries is right up there at the top of the stress scale. Some days it will be fun. Other days it will be the worst experience ever. Other days, it'll feel just like home, because it has become home.
Your rollercoaster of emotions deserves to be taken care of. If you suffer from anxiety, unabated fears, depression, etc., seek help with a mental health therapist. Do not suffer in silence—it will only be compounded by the foreignness of everything and everyone around you and you can end up feeling completely isolated and terrified.
Be sure to build a network of close friends, to talk openly with family and friends about feelings and to listen carefully to the concerns of your children (if relevant).
Mental health therapy can be obtained online if you would rather deal with someone from your old country. The beauty of the internet is that you can remain close if need be.
Use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email to keep in touch with friends and family you've left behind. Use Skype to have face-to-face talks: it's almost like being there! This can be reassuring and beneficial way to keep your feelings in check and to get support from people who know you well.
Invite your closest friends over to stay occasionally for a mini-break.
Stay safe. Another issue related to culture shock is moving somewhere that is not as safe as where you came from. Ask locals for advice about where to stay away from and what issues are around the area.
Wear appropriate clothing for the place you are living in and try to blend in. Sometimes lack of safety happens because of criminals considering someone to be a tourist or to be inappropriately dressed.
Call in to the local police station to ask about safety issues. You might also ask about crime levels in areas you are researching for buying or renting a home in too.
How can you make yourself comfortable in your new location when the excitement of moving overseas starts to fade?
Decorate your home like your previous home.
Nope! Although a trinket or picture may help you feel better, it will probably not be possible to completely decorate your home like you did before. Embrace your new culture and put your own spin on the decorations that are available to make your new place your own! Guess again!
Splurge on little things from home that make you feel better.
Absolutely! This is one of the best ways to help yourself continue to feel excited and happy throughout your adventure abroad. Make friends in your new home and stay in contact with people from your home country. Read on for another quiz question.
Not necessarily! Unfortunately, this is sometimes unavoidable! While these issues (visa regulations, housing issues, etc.) may make international living more difficult, there are other ways to help yourself feel better in your new country! Choose another answer!
Determine what country you are interested in moving to. Unless you do not have a choice in the matter, such as with business relocation, the decision is yours to figure out where you see yourself living best. To the beautiful rose city of Toulouse in southwest France? To Berlin in Germany? To the beautiful Nordic country of Iceland? To Mexico? Venezuela? Spain? Russia? China? Perhaps even to an island like Hawaii or Tahiti?
Look online to find the stories of people who have already made this move. Ex-pats can be the best source of information; reading their experience will help you develop a wider sense of whether or not this is a sensible option or whether it is something that a majority find problems with. Give some credence to what they say, since they are experiencing it; however, also beware that individual experiences will vary considerably depending on the reasons for their move, their income levels, their job experiences, the area of the country they are living in, etc. Ask questions if the forums of the site permit.
Will you be able to work in the new country? Is there a demand for your profession? What hoops will you have to jump through for employment? Is there a possibility of getting a job there before moving so that you can be reassured of earning? Few people can afford to take the chance of not having a job in a new country unless they are already wealthy enough to cover the length of stay there. Also, find out about social insurance and what tests you'll need to meet to be eligible—be aware that you may not be eligible for months or years, or maybe never.
Take a vacation to the country so you can experience it before calling it home. Guidebooks are a good source of information, but do not rely on them completely. Try avoiding the touristy areas of the country and visit places "off the beaten path," where you can interact with locals on a personal level. However, be warned: If you are enthused to move overseas as a result of having visited a place during a vacation, realize that having a vacation somewhere and living there are two completely different experiences. On vacation, you have no daily grind, no interactions with the daily bureaucracy and routine that locals do and generally not a care in the world. Once you live there, the realities of life in that country may be something quite different from the pampered experience of a tourist. Do not base your decision to move merely on having visited a place!
Learn all that you can about the country. This includes local customs (very important), language (even more important), and the areas that make up the cities and regions. It is vital to know whether you think you can handle living under different laws, customs and routines because these will affect your everyday life. For example, stricter regulations about what you can and cannot do in a country like Singapore (down to not chewing gum in public at the risk of being canned) may cause a freedom-loving US citizen to feel constricted.
Learn about the country's immigration laws and procedures. Can you even shift to the country you would like to live in? Some countries have very strict requirements for immigrants based on income, age, skill set, training or family connection. You may find that if you are not rich, not skilled, too old, or without family already living there that you do not have a chance to move to the country in question. Read the rules laid out for the particular country on its immigration website. Call the relevant immigration department and ask for more specific information in relation to yourself—no amount of printed information can ever be as clear as laying out your personal situation before someone who can advise on the specifics.
Contact the country's embassy as your first port of call. They often keep information packs for those wishing to emigrate.
Be aware of language barriers. Do people speak a different language from your own in the country you are planning to move to? If so, do you speak that language? Be honest about your ability to pick up a new language—it is quite hard for some people to learn a new language, even when immersed in it. During the time that you do not know it, you will find yourself disconnected from a lot of what is happening around you. If you already lack confidence in yourself, this can be an extremely alienating experience.
Consider learning the language to a proficient level before leaving your own country.
Book lessons for language immersion the moment you arrive. Find a sympathetic tutor who understands both your language as well as the one they are teaching you. Ensure that this person can make the time for you to go to places together to help you learn the language in specific contexts, such as shopping, dealing with a landlord, banking, buying a car, registering for school/college, etc.
If you have children, moving overseas becomes more challenging. For starters, think hard about whether you want to pull your children out of their current routine and friendships. This could be a devastating change for them. Is the schooling in the new country as good as or better than where you are now or is it less reliable? What options are there for decent schooling as a foreigner if the local schooling is not good? Find out about these things well in advance because they really matter!
Don't forget that depending on where you go, your children will likely have to learn a new language or a new dialect of a language (for example, they may need to become familiar with differences between Australian English and American English). While some parents see this as a good thing because their child has an opportunity to become multilingual, if your child has educational issues of any kind, this might really throw them through hoops.
This is especially true if the local language functions on a different alphabet than the child's first language.
Why might taking a vacation to your chosen country be a bad idea?
It could make you think life in that country is easy.
Absolutely! On vacation, you don't have to worry about the daily necessities of life- work, groceries, bills, etc. If your only impression of a country is from when you were on vacation, you might not be prepared to face all the other parts of living there! Read on for another quiz question.
It could make you think life in that country is expensive.
You might not be able to enter that country more than once in a year.
You might decide you don't want to move to that country.
There is so much to do. Where do I start?
Start by getting a visa for the place. That will only be a temporary allowance to live in the country. However, if you go to a foreign country to study or work, you will have a student or working visa.
My parents have decided to move to a foreign country and I am sad that I won't get to see my friends again. What should I do?
First, you need to create ways to stay in touch. Some of these are programs on a computer or tablet, like Skype, or even iMessage. One drawback is that your pals will eventually move on, and there's not much you can do to stop it, but that doesn't mean you can't stay in touch. It's okay to be sad, but don't hang onto that for too long. Next, make some new friends. At your new school, try to find people you have something in common with. Joining a sports team or after school activity is a great way to meet new people.
I'm thinking of moving from England to Ireland (as I hate it in England), but I understand that the people there don't like England much! Will the locals hate me for being British?
If you are moving away from England because you hate it, then they should understand. As long as you don't display any kind of tactless disregard for the tension-filled history between England and Ireland (which is mainly England's fault), you should be good.
How do I move to South Korea?
You can check the immigration requirements on South Korea's government website at immigration.go.kr . Click the "English" in the upper-right corner to translate the page, then the Visas & Immigration tab.
What are the requirements to bring my car to another country?
You will need to find and fill out any appropriate forms from your country and the new country. Then you will need to arrange to transport your car to your new country. Any other requirements would depend on the specific countries.
What about my social security and P.E.R.S? That is all the money I have. Can I take it with me?
If you're not in one of the 50 states and also outside of the U.S. territories, and inhabited commonwealths, you would still be entitled to Social Security benefits. Once a retiree has been outside the country for 30 days in a row, he or she is considered outside the United States and the rules for collecting benefits apply.
I'm in the United States, looking to move to Australia. I have a 4 year old child as well. I want to take a chance and move! How do I assure a job? How do I contact someone there?
How do I move to the US from the UK? Is it more difficult?
I want to move without my family knowing where I'm going or when, but I don't know anyone in my country of choice. What will be the best way to get support (mentally/emotionally, financially, etc.)?
What is the most economical method of shipping belongings to a foreign country?
Will I need to learn French to move to Canada?
When learning a language, do not forget to learn slang terms and idioms—learn how people really talk. Use online language forums and sites to help you to be current with words and meanings. These are places to ask anonymous questions about things that are not understandable.
Don't burn all of your bridges at home—you might need to come back one day! For example, it is highly recommended that you do not sell your home. Rent it out and have it there should you ever need to move back. Equally, you should not give up your citizenship; you may want to go back to the country of your birth some day.
If you find yourself constantly complaining about the new life and wanting the old one back, be aware that you may have glossed your old country with rose-tinted glasses. If you do move back home, the culture shock on return can be as arresting as the one you had arriving in the new country! Give the new country a chance; if you are still complaining five years later, then maybe it is time to pack it in and go back to the country of your birth.
Avoid moving to another country being pessimistic and depressed. That will not lead you anywhere and might even hurt you when you make decisions.
You may experience discrimination. Remember, you are the foreigner in the new country.
Be aware that some people will tell you terrible things because they hate being overseas; this can be common with a spouse accompanying his or her spouse on an overseas posting. She or he wanted to stay home but went anyway, with a narrow frame of mind, and never stopped hating it. Be wary of such people—usually they're obvious because all they say is how much they hate the new country and how much they wish they were back home.
Beware of banking complications. If moving from the US to a less developed country, you may find it surprisingly hard to open a simple bank account. Anti-money-laundering regulations and additional hassles these banks experience dealing with the US can result in reams of paperwork and the need for references that may be hard to get once you are overseas. Make sure you have adequate cash to get by for a couple of months since it will be hard to get money until you have a local account.
Moving to a new country is exciting initially but often very hard on you (and your family) emotionally and physically. Be prepared for the worst and you will be ready for anything.
Don't romanticize the move. No place is perfect, and you will not turn into a completely new person overnight. Learn more about the culture and facts—do not just rely on your friend's exciting vacation story.
Be sure that you are clear on work and work rights in your new country. Many developed countries, for example, now offer eased work permits. These visas are similar to work permits, in that they are typically given for a specific position and may not be subject to as onerous restrictions as normal work permits.
Use a proper, well-known, and trusted real estate agent. There is a risk being ripped off when buying property.
Your experience may differ from others'. While it's useful to listen to or read about other people's experiences, realize that their experience is always going to be unique, as will yours be, and so don't assume it's all great or all terrible just on their say-so. Do your own research and stay open-minded.
Be realistic and make sure that you have the option of going back home.
When considering applying for a job, make sure to look up the place and see if anything sketchy/shady has ever happened there (as you should always do when applying for a job, foreign country or not!). You do not want to end up working in a place you regret ever considering!
To move to a foreign country, start by making sure your passport is up to date, and apply for a visa for that country as soon as possible. Then, find and set up a bank account that you can access from your new home country, but leave one old account open for a while to be safe. Next, donate or give away any stuff you don’t need, since shipping to a different country is expensive. Finally, find a temporary place to live when you arrive, such as a hotel or apartment, so that you can get a feel for the area before buying a permanent home. For tips on dealing with culture shock in your new home, read on!

Two-thousand sixteen was the year Kristen Stewart was finally recognized as a Great Actress. She won a César (the first American to do so) and she had not one but three films entered in the New York Film Festival (the first actress to do so). Woody Allen loves her; so too, apparently, does Olivier Assayas. This year is already shaping up to be Stewart's year yet again — on Thursday night, her second outing with Assayas, Personal Shopper, debuted at the Metrograph theater on Manhattan's Lower East Side. She has two more films on the slate — the Lizzie Borden period drama Lizzie with Chloë Sevigny, and the action thriller Underwater with T.J. Miller.
And just as Kristen Stewart has earned increasing acclaim among cinephiles, she's also a rising star in the fashion world. Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld adopted the actress as his muse; she's appeared in numerous campaigns for the brand, including, most recently, a spot alongside Cara Delevingne, Caroline de Maigret, and Pharrell Williams. Naturally, Lagerfeld also outfits Stewart for each and every red carpet outing — and, making a label historically known for its tweed her own with every occasion, Stewart never fails to disappoint. (Even if, sometimes, it involves taking a pair of fabric shears to a couture t-shirt.) Her Metrograph appearance was no exception.
Kristen Stewart in Chanel at the premiere of Personal Shopper in New York, New York, March 2016.
Where: The premiere of Personal Shopper at the Metrograph Theater in New York, New York.
What: A blush-pink halter gown with a sweater neck and pockets from the Chanel Pre-Fall 2017 collection with a dark eye and her newly buzz-cut bleach blonde hair.
Why: At the Chanel Métiers d'arts show, this dress was presented with matching arm warmers, a Pepto-pink knit scarf, and white oxford shoes. That, evidently, is not quite KStew's speed — she opts for a far simpler look, foregoing all the embellishments. It's a bit more elevated than the mall goth-inspired couture she's plucked off the runway in the past — especially considering the low-key environment at Metrograph, where Personal Shopper premiered — but she still wears it with her trademark casual confidence.

Home / Accident Lawyer / How Will a Medical Lien Impact My Injury Case?
Personal injury victims have a right to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. If the injury victim wins their personal injury case and receives a settlement award, the agencies that initially paid for their care and treatment may have a right to recover their medical expenses from your settlement. Government agencies, hospitals and medical providers and workers’ comp agencies may all be entitled to placing a lien on your settlement to recover the money they paid out for your medical expenses.
If you paid for your medical treatment with a government agency like Medicaid, Medicare or the Veteran’s Administration and received compensation from a lawsuit, the government has a right to place a lien against your settlement. This means that when you are awarded compensation or a settlement amount, the government has a right to recover the funds they spent to cover your medical expenses.
Certain states allow hospitals and medical providers to recover funds they spent caring for and treating an accident injury victim. Hospital and medical provider liens like these must follow strict protocol in order for them to be valid. Before you receive treatment, your medical provider may even require you to sign a lien letter agreeing to the lien against your settlement.
Should you win your personal injury case and receive compensation, the hospital or medical provider has the right to recover their funds. Should your hospital or provider not comply with your state’s statutes, though, their lien is not enforceable. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you are not required to pay your hospital bills, only that the medical provider does not have a lien against your settlement.
When you’re injured in a work-related accident, you are usually entitled to receiving workers’ compensation to pay for your medical expenses. If you used your workers’ comp to pay for your bills and later received money in a lawsuit settlement, your state’s workers’ comp agency may have the right to file a lien against your settlement to recover the amount that they paid out for your medical bills.
It is possible for you to negotiate the terms of the lien with the lien holder. Depending on the circumstances, the lien holder may be willing to accept a much lower amount than they initially wanted. For example, many workers’ comp liens are much larger than the amount the injury victim would receive if they won their personal injury case. In this case, the victim may simply decide not to pursue the lawsuit, or hire a personal injury lawyer to help negotiate with the workers’ comp agency to accept a lesser amount.
Anytime someone files a lien against your personal injury case settlement, it’s wise to go ahead and talk to an experienced attorney. Lien laws are complex, and your attorney can help you understand whether the lien is valid, if you can negotiate the amount of the lien and what course of action is in your best interests. Mike Lewis Attorneys has two offices in North Carolina, one in Greensboro and one in Winston-Salem. Contact us today to discuss your personal injury case.
I’ll recommend Mike Lewis Attorneys because of the efficient service!

As well as trying to trap a brain inside a computer, Keen Software House want to squeeze the whole dang universe into one too. Their latest Early Access update to Space Engineers [official site] last night added diddy ‘planets’ and moons to its sandbox space, so you can now leap off your spaceship and plummet all the way down onto a planetoid, if that’s a thing you want to do. When their AI escapes, it’ll fire us at planets with a spacegun as revenge for trapping it, so we better get used to the idea. Or you could land to explore, build, fight, and all that, I guess. Whatever.
Its planets are a touch on the small side, but they are fully destructible so you could drill clean through one if you wanted, if you had enough time, and if your computer can handle it. If your hardware doesn’t support DirectX 11, you won’t get to mess about with planets, though DX9ers can still play Space Engineers without them.

Thanks to Spring Break, I’m blogging up a storm this week. We’ll see if that lasts once classes start again on Monday. For now, here are a few links that my North Carolina readers might find interesting, especially those of you in Fayetteville.
First, the Fayetteville Museum of Art will be hosting a premiere party for a new exhibit, “Raw Identity,” this Friday from 6-8 PM. Amneris Solano of the Fayetteville Observer has more information. The premiere party will include the music of Chapel Hill folk duo, Birds and Arrows.
Also on Friday will be a special screening of the film, Brothers at War, a film by Jake Rademacher that explores the effect of the Iraq War on his family while he was embedded with a Marine-trained Iraqi Army unit and while his two brothers were serving in the military. The filmmaker and executive producer Gary Sinise will be present at the screening and will participate in a Q&A after the film. Brian Dukes of the Fayetteville Observer has more information about what sounds like a compelling film.
Via Second Cinema, news about a cool upcoming event: Race in NC: Looking Back • Moving Forward, Documentary Film Forum, sponsored by ChathamArts. The event starts at 2:30 pm Saturday March 21 and continues on Sunday afternoon March 22 and takes place in downtown Pittsboro, NC, just outside of Raleigh. Films include Mackey Alston’s Family Name and We Shall Not be Moved, the story of the Tillery, NC, Farm Resettlement.
Finally, Full Frame is less than a month away. I need to sit down soon and start planning my schedule. I managed to snag a press pass this year, so I’m hoping to overdose on some great documentaries again this year. Any recommendations from this year’s schedule?

In a speech at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, delivered January 19 2018, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis announced the nation’s latest National Defense Strategy, The first in ten years, Secretary Mattis indicated that the thrust of the nation’s policy had shifted away from fighting terrorism toward countering the threat posed by Russia and China.
Most maliciously, authorities invariably deflect criticism of U.S. policy by attempting to link dissenting publications with Russia.
Given that the U.S. appears to be just as self-serving and law defying as Russia is accused of being, what is the reality behind the unrelenting anti-Russian propaganda campaign? That question is at the heart of this week’s installment of the Global Research News Hour.
In the first half hour, past guest Dmitry Orlov returns to the show to bring us up to speed on some of the latest developments. The Russian-American commentator addresses some of the actions in recent months including the Skripal affair and the stand-off with Israel over the shooting down of a Russian plane. He compares and contrasts the two countries’ military postures and their differing objectives. He also examines the impacts of the sanctions regime and its implications for international political and economic relations.
Our second guest, Ron Ridenour, expands on the theme of his latest book, The Russian Peace Threat: Pentagon on Alert, which provides a historical context for the renewed cold war, deconstructs the propaganda depicting Russia as a menace, and details some of America’s far from benevolent records over the past century. He also hints at where the path to peace may lie.
Dmitry Orlov is a Russian-American writer, blogger and geopolitical analyst based in Moscow. He has degrees in Computer Engineering and Linguistics and has worked in the fields of high energy physics, internet commerce, advertising and network security. He is the author of Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects and Shrinking the Technosphere: Getting a Grip on the Technologies that Limit our Autonomy, Self-sufficiency and Freedom. His blog site is cluborlov.com.
Global Research: We’re joined by Dmitry Orlov. He is a Russian-American writer, blogger, and geopolitical analyst. His work has centered around the political, economic, and ecological and political decline and collapse in the United States, and he’s also the author of numerous articles. His books include Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects and Shrinking The Technosphere: Getting A Grip On The Technologies That Limit Our Autonomy Self-Sufficiency, And Freedom. He joins us here from Moscow. Thanks so much for coming back to the show Dimitri.
Dmitry Orlov: Good to be with you Michael.
DO: Well it’s a bit of a wake-up call for the Israelis because Russia has been extremely accommodating in everything that comes, when it comes to Israel’s security concerns. There is the realization that the rhetoric coming from Tehran has been, you know, quite virulent, you know, Iran is still telling itself that it has the goal of destroying Israel. There’s no way that Israel can avoid responding to such a provocation, and the fact that there are now Iranian troops close to the Israeli border, and that there is weapons manufacturing going on on Syrian territory is something that is a concern to them that the Russians have to allow Israel to take care of its own security concerns.
But the Israelis have acted most irresponsibly because they gave less than a minute warning that this attack was coming. They misnamed the targets, and they misbehaved in the airspace in the sense that they couldn’t have not seen this big lumbering propeller plane that was absolutely no threat to anyone, and they knew that there would be some anti-aircraft fire and drew it not on themselves but on this plane. There are some other, you know unfortunate mishaps that occurred, which are all coming out as a result of the investigation, so it’s still early to say.
But the response was basically to, you know, a dressing-down from Russia to Israelis, saying you cannot do this anymore, and the response was to arm the Syrians with a more up-to-date air defense system which was probably already in place. It was just handed over to Syrian command.
I don’t think that this is a major development. I think Russia and Israel are going to patch things up. I don’t think Israel is going to stop attacking, stop attacking things, on the ground in Syria, that, you know, actions that they see as provocative. They are very fearful of precision rockets, precision weapons being built in Syria that can be smuggled into Syria or even fired, smuggled into Israel, or even fired into Israel from Lebanon or from Syria itself.
DO: Well there is, there will be no declaration of surrender. Let’s not kid ourselves. Basically, what the US does in Syria, similar to what it does everywhere else, it generates activity. It generates activity in order to be in a position to order more weapons systems, more munitions, basically chew through more materiel, because that’s what the contractors require, and those contractors, military contractors, finance various congressional campaigns. That’s the entire political ecosystem, and what happens on the ground is sort of a sideshow.
Now in terms of strategic objectives, whatever they are, the US definitely isn’t achieving them. There’s that encampment they have in Al-Tanf in the south, there are a few other locations in the north where they’re playing along with the Kurds, which is poisoning their relationship with Turkey. They did completely destroy Raqqa and made absolutely no effort to clean it up, to restore it, so there are still rotting bodies there buried under a piles of rubble, and it’s been many months. It’s basically a humanitarian atrocity that they’ve perpetuated in Raqqa, but they’re not achieving anything except wasting money and war materiel. And I think that that is actually their goal at this point is to generate military activity.
DO: Oh, no, absolutely not. Basically, Russian posture, the Russian posture is to make sure that the US and NATO have absolutely no plan whatsoever to attack Russia, or to attack Russia’s allies. Perish the thought. But other than that, Russia’s posture is completely defensive, and American posture, because there is no need to defend the American homeland from anyone, nobody is planning to attack the United States, is purely offensive.
DO: It’s really hard to figure out what is going to snap first. There’s definitely a huge amount of tension between Washington and the European Union. There is a huge amount of tension building up within the European Union itself, because the whole liberal juggernaut that started bringing in unlimited quantities of migrants into Europe, you know that is definitely running into a huge, huge problem, huge conflict that is internal to the EU.
Now, the relationship between the EU and Russia has not really been all that badly damaged by Washington and by these sanctions that the Europeans have gone along with willy-nilly, many of them complaining all along the way. And, definitely, in terms of, for instance, energy cooperation between the EU and Russia is back on track because there are really no other options that the EU has to supply itself with natural gas other than to do business with Russia, and at this point that means also to circumvent the Ukraine because nobody really wants to do business with the Ukraine anymore. It’s basically a sort of poisoned chalice at this point.
You know, in terms of what the sanctions have done to the Russian economy, yes, they cost them a couple of percentage points of GDP growth, but the beneficial effect of those sanctions is often underestimated. It really woke Russia up to the fact that it has to become self-sufficient in many areas, and it has become self-sufficient in numerous areas and is working very hard to achieve self-sufficiency in more areas and to find new trading partners that aren’t going to sanction them. So, the sanctions have really woken up the Russians to the fact that the Americans are not their friends, will never be their friends, and have prompted them to act accordingly.
GR: The US economic situation, they have an unsustainable debt crisis. It doesn’t look like they’re ever going to be able to crawl out of it, they don’t have the ability to maintain the, their current trajectory. I mean, we’re probably looking at another stock market crash, probably sooner rather than later, and I think the writing is on the wall in that regard. That’s bound to affect the way the US comports itself in the world, even though they won’t say it out loud. I mean, you suggested that earlier.
So that you have, you know, falling prices on some things and hyperinflation in other areas. There’ll be huge economic distortions, and the rest of the world will simply have to co-exist. They have a hoard of dollars, they use that hoard of dollars in order to trade with each other, they have contracts signed that are all in dollars. So, how do you de-dollarize that? It’s a gigantic task.
With the Skripal affair, it’s preposterous throughout. There’s absolutely no evidence behind the British story, and there are a lot of facts that are just completely contradictory and negate the narrative that has been voiced. And so the Russians are happy to basically sit back and ignore all of that. They know that there will be sanctions, these sanctions have nothing to do with chemical weapons, they have nothing to do with anything except one fact: Russia is sitting on a stockpile of energy resources that will last it for hundreds of years.
They’re basically jumping up and down mad that they have this problem that they can’t solve. They can’t attack Russia militarily. They’re trying to attack Russia economically, but that’s not working. They’re trying to isolate Russia, and as a result of that Russia is strengthening ties with countries all over the world. You know the SCO organization is now almost half of the world’s GDP, almost half of the world’s population. And it’s a security organization that Russia is part of.
You know, they try to stage little provocations like the little training exercises along the Russian border in the Baltics that are supposed to frighten Russia. Now if NATO attacked Russia, Russia would have them arrested. It doesn’t really make sense as a plan, but it makes sense as an internal narrative, something that these incompetent Western leaders can tell their own people.

Well lets see. I’ve got to scroll through my To Read Shelf on Goodreads for this one. I can’t remember and I don’t keep a notes page with authors or books I want to read anymore, now that we have the lovely Goodreads to help use book lovers out ^_^.
First up is Sherrilyn Kenyon. Yes, I have’t tried her yet and everyone and I mean everyone says to give her Dark-Hunterverse series a go. With 28 books and more in the series, it’s a little daunting and intimidating, but I did pick up on our Library Book Sale day book one Fantasy Lover, so I have no excuse to try her out now.
Another author on my list is Dannika Dark with her Crossbreads series. I’ve heard great things about the series and I actually own books 1 & 2 in eBook, so their is no excess to start the series since I own the first two.
Then we have Kresley Cole and her Immortals After Dark series and last, Suzanne Johnson and her Sentinels of New Orleans series. I could keep going on, but these four are at the top of my list.
Darynda Jones, Faith Hunter, & Jim Butcher where on my list of authors to try, but this year I picked up their books and have been enjoying them.
That’s a few of the authors I want to try out.
So, how about you? What authors are on your list?
I have a HUGE list of authors I’ve been meaning to read, but I’m slowly chipping away at it. Two who stand out in my mind that I still need to read are Marie Lu and Paula Stokes.
Ooo I have Marie Lu, but I’ve not heard of Paula Stokes. Thank’s for the authors ^_^.
I need to try more series by Dannika Dark. I’ve read one series and really loved it, but haven’t tried the others yet. I need to try Sherrilyn Kenyon. Seanan McGuire is on my list. I’ve read her work as Mira Grant, but not the other name. I can’t recommend Kresley Cole’s IAD series enough. I also HIGHLY recommend it on audio. It has one of my all-time favorite narrators in Robert Petkoff.
I have heard good things about Danika Dark. I love the Sentinenls of New Orleans series and Charley Davidson. Glad I am not the only one who wants to try Butcher.
I’ve heard good things about Dark too. Butcher & Jones I picked up this year and started. They are both enjoyable. Sentinenls of New Orleans I haven’t gotten too yet, but it’s a want to try author/series. One day!!
Oh I definitely agree that you should read Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kresley Cole. I keep meaning to read Jill Shalvis. One of these days I will.
Ya, one of these days I’ll give them all a try. So many books so little time and then all those new releases you want to pick up asap ^_^.
I LOVE Sherrilyn Kenyon, and yes I know her series is HUGE hehe Just start with book one and work your way up, you won’t regret it I promise.
Great post Angela, Ilona Andrews is the top spot on my author wish list. So many of my blogger friends love them.
OMG YES Andrews is a must. I’ve got all their works and reread them when I’m in a slump or just need a break. Such amazing storytellers and their world building is outstanding. Hopeful you will get to try them soon.
I need to catch up on Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. One of mine I want to try is Romina Russell’s Zodiac series. The covers are beautiful. I’m reading one now of an author I had been wanting to try – Jamie Beck’s Worth The Wait.
Hope you are enjoying Worth The Wait by Jamie Beck. I’ve not heard of Romina Russell. I’ll have to check her out. Cole lots suggest her Immortals After Dark series. One of these days ^_^.
I would love to read more of darynda Jones reaper series I’ve read the first book and it was awesome!!! Shared on my socials!!!
I actually picked up Darynda Jones’s Reaper series in Audiobook. My first adult audiobook and very much enjoyed. I’m sticking with the audios as long as my library carries them. I like the mystery and the quirky humor. Thank’s for sharing and stopping in Kathy!!
Oh Sherrilyn Kenyon is a must. It’s a long series but is kind of broken up by Dream Hunters, Were Hunters, etc. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Dream Hunters for some reason. Even higher up the list… Kresley Cole. OMG I love Immortals After Dark! Her Valkries are hilarious! Dannika Dark is also on my list to try and I have both the first Crossbreed and Mageri books on audio. Oh I think I have a couple of the Seven too from sales. Did you love Darynda Jones? I adore the Charley Davidson series!
Looking on my Kindle. I found two books by Elizabeth Hunter and I’ve heard great things about her. I have two books by Siera Dean that I also want to try, and three by S.E. Hall that I also would like to try. I also have at least one by Sarah Fine as well. Someday.
I have Elizabeth Hunter (Elemental Mysteries) on my TBR. I haven’t heard of Siera Dean, S.E. Hall, or Sarah Fine. Thank’s for sharing with me some of the authors you want to try. I’ll have to check them out.

Every component of your email marketing campaign matters, so taking any of them for granted is guaranteed to hurt your campaign’s results. Nonetheless, some components of your email marketing campaigns get a lot more attention than others.
Many marketers take years to master the art of email copy. Others focus on analytics, painstakingly working toward finding the best possible day and time to send their message for maximum opens.
While there’s no doubt that these elements are important factors, don’t forget about the one that will make your message’s initial impression: The email header.
In terms of content, there are two main components of any email message. There’s the actual body of the message itself, often where the sender puts the bulk of their communication and effort, and there’s the email header, the portion above the body of the email.
Every email program will allow you to see the entire email header, but most primarily show the subject line, sender, and send date by default.
There are certain legal requirements you must follow with your email headers. In the U.S., there’s the CAN-SPAM act. In the United Kingdom, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations of 2003 outline the laws regarding email headers. CASL laws in Canada do the same. Almost every country has their own version of these types of legal requirements.
Fortunately, they stipulate the same thing when it comes to what is an email header: You can’t include any false or misleading information. Scammers often do this to trick recipients into opening up their emails, but it can tempt otherwise legitimate marketers to bend the rules for those all-important opens.
It’s perfectly fine to get creative, but if you are actively deceiving your email list, you could find yourself in trouble.
Without a doubt, the best possible way your header can contribute to greater open rates—and, thus, engagement—is through the subject line. After all, if your subject line doesn’t convince the recipient to open the email, the rest of it won’t matter.
Here are some simple rules for successful subject lines that will lead to more of your emails getting opened.
Most importantly, use A/B testing to get a sense for what resonates with your audience. By sending out two identical emails that have different subject lines on the same day and time, open rates will show you which subject line makes your recipients more likely to open your emails.
The more emails get opened, the better your engagement will be. However, good subject lines can also prime readers for conversion, too. Give them something to get excited about in the subject line, follow it up with similar copy, and your CTA will have a much better click-through rate.
That being said, you can also improve engagement by adding an image to your header.
The company is still relatively young, so putting their name and logo in the header reminds the recipient who’s sending the email and why they’ll enjoy reading the rest of it.
Adidas takes things a step further. Their email header not only includes a nice piece of branding copy, it also offers the recipient the option to go straight to their site. Engagement doesn’t get much better than that.
Email headers generally don’t get as much attention as the body of the message, the time you schedule it, segmentation, and other factors that determine if your campaign is a successful one.
However, here are three examples of companies that clearly understand that their email headers can lead to increased open rates and improved engagement.
Birchbox does several smart things with their header in the email below.
To begin, they incorporate an emoji in their subject line. At the moment, emojis in subject lines are still enough of a novelty that they’re attention getters. In the near future, they may become as commonplace as letters and numbers but for now, they’re a surefire way to ensure a second glance.
The other element of Birchbox’s header to emulate is the information provided in the subject line. Recipients are immediately incentivized to open the message as its value is clearly spelled out: “TWO Birchboxes for $10 Inside.” That’s two numbers in one subject line that’s well within the aforementioned limit for characters.
While you want to be careful using all caps in your subject lines, Birchbox only capitalizes one word, not the entire subject line. In this example, they’re using all caps to draw attention to a two-for-one deal, emphasizing what it is that makes their offer so special.
But by far, the real standout in this email header, though, is the image the company used in the space separating the header from the main body of the email. Unlike other features of the email header, the image is optional since it isn’t required by law.
But we’d recommend including an image since it’s one more opportunity to add information, convert your prospects, improve customer loyalty, or accomplish whatever goal you have for your company and your email marketing campaign. Otherwise, you leave a highly-visible portion of your email as blank, unused space.
In this case, Birchbox uses their header image to inform their subscribers about their status within the company’s loyalty program, ensuring the customer knows where they stand. If they have a lot of points, this email could suggest beneficial ways to capitalize on that value. If the person only has a few points, like in this example, the email could suggest ways to build up more or reasons why they even should.
The header image can prep your reader for the content in your email and motivate them to convert.
Experiential travel magazine, AFAR, has a lot of information they want to communicate in just one email, so they opted to use a preheader, the area between the subject line and the actual header image.
First, the subscriber sees text referring to the article they’re promoting below. It’s short and sweet but gets the point across, hopefully striking a chord with the subscriber and making them want to read more.
Second, AFAR makes it easy for their subscribers to share their articles, helping the company reach a new audience that might not already be aware of their publication.
Third, the header provides options for exploring the rest of AFAR’s site. If a message’s recipient is interested in other features of the magazine, they’re just a click away.
Also, this email features a fantastic subject line: It’s specific (train travel is fairly niche) and promises to reveal a secret (“unexpected benefit”), triggering FOMO and encouraging readers to open the daily email.
While the body of your email usually succeeds or fails based on the copy you choose, that doesn’t mean you need a ton of words in your header image. As we’ve already seen, more words can lead to a more engaging email, but a large image can be equally effective in many cases, too.
Uberflip sent out the above email to advertise Conex, their content experience conference. If you operate within this world, the author of the best-selling book Vlog Like a Boss, Amy Landino, probably needs no introduction. Seeing her face in the large image that precedes the message would prime subscribers to be pretty excited about the rest of the message, even without a lot of copy.
As you can see, it’s actually a gif, which effectively sets the tone for what’s to come in the rest of the email.
The email is promoting Nintendo Labo, which lets users build their own cardboard toys and then “bring them to life” with their Nintendo Switches.
Creating a gif like this will definitely help your email stand out, leading to better engagement and conversions. Fortunately, it’s a lot easier to create your own gif than you may think. You can actually use the GIF Maker from GIPHY to create one for free, and then just upload it to your email template’s header.
Now that you know more about email headers and why adding one can be critical to boosting your engagement, don’t take your email headers for granted. While the importance of an email’s subject line is fairly obvious—and really can’t be overstated—marketers all-too-often forget about the rest of the headers’ potential to bring in more opens, click-throughs, and ultimately conversions.
As a result, businesses may spend time and money trying to improve every other factor in their email and still fall far short of their campaign’s potential.
If your email campaign doesn’t quite live up to its potential—and even if your campaigns do really well—you can improve your metrics by optimizing your email header. There are a number of different ways you can customize your email headers to produce higher open rates and encourage engagement, both of which will lead to more recipients clicking on your CTAs.

F. W. Robertson is quoted as making a statement which ties in beautifully with what we’ll be looking at in chapter 8: "Life, like war, is a series of mistakes, and he is not the best Christian nor the best general who make the fewest false steps. Poor mediocrity may secure that; but he is the best who wins the most splendid victories by the retrieval of mistakes. Forget mistakes; organize victories out of mistakes."
When we have made a mistake and suffered a defeat what we do is now up to us, we can live in that defeat or we can by God’s grace learn from it and go on.
Though we should never seek to fail, failure can be a backdoor to success if we are willing to seek the forgiveness of God and deal with our sin in the way that God has prescribed. This week we look to Joshua Chapter 8 for 5 secrets for getting back on track after a defeat.

The seventh chapter of Joshua opens with the ominous word “but.” The use of the little conjunction of contrast is designed to drive home the reality that victory is often followed by the threat of defeat. Suddenly we are presented with a series of failures that stand in striking contrast to the victories of the past six chapters. Israel had just experienced a miraculous victory over Jericho, “but” now they are going to experience defeat. When Joshua sent out the troops to take Ai he was unaware of Achan’s sin or of God’s displeasure. I have to wonder that if he had consulted with the Lord before making his plans if he would not have learned about both. Likewise many of our personal failures could be avoided if we first took our plans and concerns to God in prayer. Christian would do well to spend time consulting with God before making decisions that may have a major impact both their own lives and the lives of others.

Also, nothing can beat its comfort level. Whether I’m heading out for a quick coffee with my friends or just trying to be comfortable for college, my leather leggings is my all time favorite. I have paired it with almost EVERYTHING and it still surprises me with its versatility. Having said that, I was quite surprised when I found out that I still haven’t done any outfit post on it.

MANILA An official of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is convinced that the statement made by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), saying a family of five can live decently on a monthly budget of PHP10,000, has been properly studied.
Undersecretary Jacinto Paras believed that the agency will not release such figure if they did not conduct the necessary research to back it up.
We, at DOLE, have not yet fully studied this analysis by NEDA but I am sure that it was properly deliberated, he said in a press briefing Wednesday.
On the other hand, Paras added that such findings will be useful to regional wage boards that are currently deliberating on possible wage adjustments.
All of these components, especially findings by fellow government agencies, will definitely be used as an input with the tripartite wage boards, he said.
The Labor official, however, explained that wage boards do not just consider the standpoint of one sector, as they will also study the positions of the government, employers, and employees.
At the end of the day, the wage boards will come up with a decision that is reasonable and balanced, Paras added.

Matt's BBQ is located on NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd in Portland, Oregon.
They have been open for about a year, garnering a lot of acclaim. Matt's BBQ was named the 2016 Best New Food Cart of the Year by The Oregonian and 2016 Co-Cart of the Year by Willamette Week.
The panda was simply fashionably late to the party -- and finally went after everyone under the sun pretty much told me to go.
I could smell the contents of the smoker from the end of the block. It pretty much told me I was making a wise move. The lot has three or four carts, including the second spot for Kim Jong Grillin'.
The menu is what you'd expect at a BBQ food cart. Sandwiches, plates, sides, and specials. Each table has a squeeze bottle of Matt's Texas-style BBQ sauce.
The Whole Shebang ($18) features all of the meats and sides on one tray. Pulled pork, brisket, rib, and sausage. Three sides (potato salad, cole slaw, and BBQ beans). It comes with pickles, peppers, and a couple of slices of white bread. For the full experience, The Whole Shebang is the only way to go.
I found the pulled pork quite standard. From there, the brisket met my approval. Tender meat, with the bark melting in my mouth, just wonderful overall. The rib was a major hit, the meat effortlessly coming off the bone. But the sausage (jalapeno cheddar in this case) was the undisputed winner. Tons of flavor. I would come back alone just for that sausage.
All of the sides were amazing. The potato salad had the proper mayo-potato-onion ratio. A unique-looking orange cole slaw, but crunchy. I learned that the color comes from paprika and copious amounts of carrots. The beans were delicious, but obviously much heavier than the other sides.
Apparently, this spread was attractive enough such that a couple of people asked me what I had ordered. Subsequently, many others started ordering the same item -- and even taking more orders to go. They made a very wise choice.

In 2017 you will have to do some serious work on your online reputation. Your digital marketing efforts may have already been formidable, but in order to keep up with your competitors, you might still need to expand. With this in mind, here are few digital marketing trends that are simply too expensive to ignore. By addressing them accordingly, you are bound to improve your standing on search engines by quite a bit.
By now, the fact that mobile users are the majority of people online is already old news. Almost 55 percent of all emails get opened on mobile first, while apps are gaining lead over websites with each passing day. Therefore, your first and foremost concern should be finding a way to make your online presence mobile-oriented. While optimizing your website for mobile can be done in under five minutes, it might still be worth your while to invest in app development. After all, according to recent surveys, over 89 percent of time spent on smartphones is with apps.
Another thing you could try is start a loyalty program. You can either award points for every purchase made in your e-store or make the purchase into a contest sign-up. An example of this can be seen on the Orange.jo website. Their marketing team has made a pool consisting of customers who have bought a 4G device in their store. The lucky winners can win vouchers worth several thousand dollars or Huawei handsets as rewards. The best part is that for the company, the benefits of such a loyalty program by far outweigh any expenses related to setting it up.
One of the greatest problems with social media marketing is that this term includes dozens of platforms. Each of them has a different audience, a different format and therefore requires a different marketing approach. Those included in gadgets and software retail might want to focus on YouTube, while those advertising DIY guides and selling arts and crafts items should probably turn to Pinterest. Then, there are few universal power-players such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter which are a must no matter what you do.
Another thing you need to keep in mind is that responding to everything that happens on your social media networks requires a lot of time and effort. Some would even argue that it is more than any human employee can handle (at least efficiently). On the other hand, failing to respond results in a disappointed potential customer, which is why you need to find a way to automate your social media responses. Some of the simpler actions can be programmed as triggers on which your automation software will react. One of these software is the IFTTT (if that, then that).
If there is one thing that can be said about digital marketing in 2017 it is that it has suddenly gone live. The main cause of this popularity boost is the fact that people usually respond well to things that are genuine. The greatest problem with email marketing is the fact that people are always suspicious of what lies on the other end. Luckily, streaming live from your workplace can demonstrate your spontaneity. While this can be staged as well, it still seems much more real than any other form of content.
In the previous section, we spoke about email marketing as something quite tricky to do right. Still, this doesn’t mean this kind of approach is necessarily ineffective. First, however, you need to learn how to write a killer headline. Keep it short and to the point. Also, remember to keep it as organic-looking as possible. One more thing, don’t push it too hard. If someone is not responding, sending them few emails a day is not going to make them change their mind. The most curious thing about this particular digital marketing method is that it is almost half a century old, however, it is still as efficient as it ever was.
Finally, it is important to mention that 2016 was a great year for both augmented (Pokémon GO, Snapchat) and virtual (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift) reality. Needless to say, we can expect both of these trends to take a major role in the future of digital marketing. Think of it from a logical perspective; if a picture speaks a thousand words then a video speaks a million. Well, how about a lifelike experience? This truly is a thing to ponder on.
There are many things you should consider when it comes to expanding your digital marketing in 2017. Luckily, this is not as difficult as it may sound. What you need to do is find a good cost-to-customer experience ratio. Some of these trends are significantly more expensive to implement, but they usually bring a better ROI as well. Finding out which one of them suits your business the most is the truly hard part.
