For a quick prototype or a single-instance solution, this may be all that you need to consider, but as your cloud footprint increases and you begin investing in additional EC2 instances, you should consider additional factors which aren’t well known. Your goal should be to support your applications and their growth with an EC2 configuration which can handle the requirements of the application now, and in the future.
In this article, we’re going to look at six of these lesser-known differences between EC2 instance types and discuss why they’re important and how they can impact the performance and cost optimization of your EC2 deployments. Understanding their impact can help you make better-informed decisions when selecting the right instance type for each of your applications or services. Rightsizing your EC2s ensures that you maximize the performance of your software while achieving the best value from a budgetary standpoint.
The T2 and T3 family of instance types support a concept known as CPU bursting. Virtual machines are assigned a virtual CPU (vCPU) with an allotment of CPU cycles per second. If a machine is not operating at 100% utilization of allotted CPU cycles, the unused capacity is converted into CPU Burst Credits, which are associated with a specific instance.
If the instance requires processing power (more than the allotted CPU cycles), the machine may trade Burst Credits for additional CPU capacity, allowing the machine to use more than its allotted CPU cycles, as long as it has excess credits.
This feature is especially useful for machines that do not receive a consistent level of traffic and could expect to exceed their capacity on occasion. If you expect your service to sustain a level of processing near 100% of the CPU capacity, instance types without CPU bursting may be a better choice.
CPU credits accrue based on the instance type. Larger instances accrue more credits per hour.
There is a limit to the number of credits which can accrue. Larger instance sizes have a higher limit.
Restarting instances in the T2 family results in a loss of all accrued credits.
Credits for instances in the T3 family persist their credits for seven days if the instance is stopped.
You can learn more about CPU bursting from the AWS Documentation, including specific information about credit accrual and limits per instance.
When an EC2 instance is created, it is typical for an Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volume to be created at the same time and attached to the instance. If the application you are hosting on the instance requires a high number of disk reads and writes, then you should calculate the number of input and output operations (IOPS) you expect and determine whether the device and attached EBS volume can support this level.
Specific families of EC2 instances are EBS-optimized and take advantage of an optimized configuration stack which can support a higher level of IOPS between the instance and its EBS storage volume.
You must enable EBS optimization on instance types which support it before you can take advantage of it. You can learn more about which instance families support this feature and how to configure it from the AWS EC2 User Guide on the subject.
EBS volumes provide instances with external storage that persists even when an instance is terminated. Different instance types may also include storage in the price of the instance itself. Let’s look at ephemeral storage and included storage options which are available and included in the price of the instance itself.
Some instance families also include an EC2 instance store. The instance store is located on disks that are physically attached to the host computer. This store is ideally suited for storage of data that needs to be accessed quickly and frequently, but that can also be considered ephemeral rather than permanent.
Temporary storage such as caches, buffers, and others can be stored in this store, without requiring storage space on the attached EBS volume. Since this storage is attached to the instance and included in the cost for the instance, it can be confusing when calculating storage requirements and costs.
The internal store should not be considered permanent; however, as such, it should not be considered as a viable solution for long-term storage of objects.
Storage optimized instances, such as the H1 and D2 instance families include HDD based local storage, which is included in the price of the instance and support higher throughput rate than would be available from EBS volumes attached to the instance. Like the instance store, this storage is included in the cost of the instance. H1 instances can have up to 16TB of local storage and D2 instances include up to 48 TB of HDD-based local storage.
Much like the instance store, this storage only exists for the lifetime of the instance. While it provides for additional, and higher throughput of data, it cannot be detached and associated with a different instance, as can be done with an EBS volume. To learn more, consider reading our article outlining how EBS burst balance works.
The t2.nano instance type starts at less than $5 a month and may appear to be an attractive solution if you involve your accounting department in the decision, but with a single vCPU allotted to the instance and 0.5 GiB of memory, it would not be capable of supporting complex processing or a memory-intensive application.
Whether you are building your own Amazon Machine Image (AMI) or purchasing an AMI from the online marketplace, be sure to check the minimum size requirements and ensure that the instance type you select can meet or exceed those requirements.
SQL Server Enterprise 2017 on Linux: Requires at least 4 GiB of memory, but is recommended to be hosted on an m4.xlarge which has 16 GiB of memory. Windows Server 2016: Requires a minimum of 2 GiB of memory.
Many people choose to migrate their application to the AWS Cloud so that they can support and scale web-based applications for users across the world.
If you are dealing with massive transfers of data (such as media files) or a high volume of traffic, you may run into limitations on the size of the network connection between your instance and clients which need to communicate with it. There are instance families and specific instance types within those families that can support 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps of bandwidth. Other instance families and types are unable to support this level of network activity.
If you have a network-intensive application or are planning on transferring large amounts of data, then ensure that you select an instance type which can support enhanced networking. Some families which support enhanced networking with up to 10 Gbps are the C3, C4, D2, I2, and R3 families.
The P2, R4 and X1 families of instance type use an Elastic Network Adapter and can support up to the 20 Gbps.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is a managed cluster platform that makes it easier for you to support big data frameworks. With an EMR cluster, you can ingest large amounts of data and have it processed across all instances in your cluster, while AWS takes care of configuring and managing the cluster.
When creating your EMR cluster, you are responsible for determining which instance type to use for the master and slave nodes. Failure to select a supported instance type or an instance type which is unavailable in your chosen region may result in a failed setup process, or the cluster entering an unresponsive state.
You can learn more about AWS EMR through the official EMR documentation, or reading our article on EMR monitoring.
In the days before AWS was born and we began moving our service to a cloud platform, it was up to operations personnel to determine requirements and provision hardware to support our applications. The process was tedious and required a significant investment in time, research and testing.
While the cloud has dramatically simplified the process, it is still incumbent upon us to invest in identifying the right hardware configuration for our applications and services. In contrast to the “old days,” however, a new machine can be configured and provisioned in as little as a few minutes.
A little time invested up front, and attention paid to the basic configuration, in concert with the items mentioned above you can be sure that your choice is the right instance type for your application and assuring your organization receives the best value for their money as well.

In order to implement and sustain the changes needed to adapt to evolving needs, decision-makers generally agree that clinical and managerial teams must develop greater ability to carry out improvement or innovation projects in their specific environments.
To follow up on their achievements in evidence-informed change, the managers of the Montérégie health and social services region agreed to try out a new form of support for innovation: the Healthcare and Social Services Management and Governance Experiments Project (LEGG).
Experienced as an incubator of innovation, the LEGG mechanism has made it possible to reconcile management and control roles with that of support for the organizations and for the teams that work towards implementing the necessary changes within them. By instigating and leading interactions that unite decision-makers, researchers and stakeholders who embrace different schemes for action, the LEGG has created a set of dynamics for supporting the change process that is focused on perfecting and carrying out innovations.
A course of action focused on the deliberate production of change thanks to a clear direction, the allocation of venture capital, and accountability that is conducive to achieving change and sharing lessons learned.
The LEGG has proven itself to be a systemic mechanism that can support knowledge-informed change. For that reason, the managers in the region have agreed to repeat the initiative.

text: The stage will always be dim so you need to compensate for that light. You should be shooting in a high ISO and a wide aperture. It’s good to stay in the ISO range of 1600 to 3200 (sometimes higher if the camera can handle it without too much noise) and not dip below an f/5-6. However, be aware that these settings will create a small depth-of-field range and higher noise levels. The key is to be flexible and quick when taking your pictures. It’s also important to increase your burst rate. The more frames you can shoot per second, the better because lights will be flashing and musicians will be moving.

For many, the heart of East Vancouver is ‘The Drive’ as it is fondly known. It is the stretch of Commercial Drive that runs 21 blocks from Venables at the north end to 13th Avenue at the south end. It is one of my favourite destinations in East Vancouver. A few stops I love to make are the First Ravioli Store, 1900 Commercial Drive, for the City’s best fresh pasta. Or for a vast selection of cheese, not to mention hearty sandwhiches made to order at the La Grotta del Formaggio, 1791 Commercial Drive. Every birthday I only ever request one cake and that’s the Saint Honore cake from Fratelli’s Authentic Italian Bakery, 1795 Commercial Drive. If you take a left at Venables and walk a block east to Uprising Breads, 1697 Venables Street, you will find some of the best gingersnap cookies in town. As always, there is a lot of hustle and bustle on The Drive on a beautiful sunny day. This is what it looked like today in photos.
In case you haven’t noticed, there has been a resurgence of burlesque in the last 20 years. What is burlesque? Wikipedia defines it as “a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subject”. The modern version has more of a variety show format. I can tell you that burlesque is alive and well and thriving in Vancouver, if the number of shows is any evidence. If you wish to take in a burlesque show, there are a number to choose from with each show offering something titillating for the senses. For starters, this Friday, March 29th the Rio Theatre, 1660 East Broadway, has a cast of burlesque performers including 60s GoGo dancers, jugglers and belly dancers in a presentation of Paris a Minuit. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and show starts at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.
If you miss that performance, the Wise Hall, 1882 Adanac Street, has a Taboo Revue Burlesque show this Saturday, March 30th. Doors open at 8:00 p.m. and show starts at 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. If those dates don’t fit your schedule, every Sunday night at The Biltmore Cabaret, 2755 Prince Edward Street, you will find Kitty Nights Burlesque showcasing burlesque originating in New York City for all of $7.00. Doors open at 8:00 p.m. and show starts at 9:00 p.m. This show is deemed to be the “Best Place to Meet New People” and listed as one of the top things to do in Vancouver by Lonely Planet travelers. They can’t all be wrong.
Who does not love chocolate? Well if you wish to experience chocolate in a whole new way, consider taking the East Village Chocolate Tour. Bonnie and Alexis of Off The Eaten Track offer a number of culinary tours on the East side of Vancouver. This weekend, it is all about chocolate. For $45, you get a 2 hour walking tour in which you will learn about chocolate from the experts. This one time event starts at Steam Tea House where you get to sample 2 chocolate infused teas. After that, they will take you to Black Rook Bakehouse for their famous Black & Tan cake which I’ve learnt was featured in Vancouver Magazine’s 25 Things to Taste Before You Die. Then you are off to Campagnolo Roma for an exquisite Italian tiramisu. The tour ends at Schokolade Café where you sample hand made chocolates with an award-winning Chocolatier. The tour starts at 4:00 p.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. Meeting place is Waterfront Station at 601 West Cordova Street. To buy your ticket, or to learn more about the other culinary tours Bonnie and Alexis offer, check out their website at www.offtheeatentracktours.ca.
It was a busy day in the beautiful sunshine at yesterday’s Winter Farmers Market. In case you missed it, here is a sample of what will be in store when they do it all again next weekend, March 30th. Same time 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., same place adjacent to Nat Bailey Stadium at 30th & Ontario. For more information as to which vendors are at the market next week, checkout their website www.eatlocal.org.
This Friday, March 22nd, the Wise Hall, 1882 Adanac Street, is being transformed into a Spanish café. The Al Mozaico Flamenco Dance Academy presents Cuadro! Dancers will be performing Guajira with fan, Tientos, Farruca, “Nomad” by the bata de colas, Alegrias and a jazzy Tarara. The event features a special musical guest from New Mexico, Vincente Griego, who has spent his life studying the art of flamenco singing. This will be a colourful musical event showcasing the talents of the students of the dance academy. Tickets will be available at the door for $25, or they can be purchased in advance for $22 by calling T: 604-671-9182. The box office at Wise Hall will be open at 6:30 p.m. on March 22nd, show begins at 7:30 p.m.
If you wish to taste some wines from BC’s Okanagan, you don’t have to travel very far. I invite you to check out Vancouver Urban Winery. This operation is the brainchild of two young enterpreneurs, Steve Thorp and Mike Macquisten who were recently voted into Western Living Magazine’s 5th Annual 40 Foodies Under 40.
Vancouver Urban Winery is Canada’s first wine on tap operation, FreshTap. They repackage wines sent from wineries in pressurized 19.5 litre stainless steel kegs. This not only cuts down on waste, but is also environmentally friendly in that each keg equals 26 750ml bottles of wine. Once a bottle is opened in a restaurant, it loses flavor with oxidization quickly. Thus, a greater likelihood the wine will be tossed.
A side benefit for us Vancouverites, is that last summer Vancouver Urban Winery opened it doors to the public for wine tastings. The majority of the wines are from British Columbia with a few from other countries including their own brand of Roaring Twenties for sale by the bottle in their retail store on site. Wine tastings are 1 oz pourings which start at $2.50 per tasting or $3.50 for premium wines. You can choose which wines you’d like to try individually, or you can try the Sommelier’s Choice where they choose 5 flights of wine for you to taste for $12.00. There are various meats and cheeses available to nibble with your wine that you can purchase. We opted for the Sommelier’s Food & Wine Choice Pairing for $24.00 which included 5 flights of wine (2 whites & 3 reds) and a selection of local meats and cheeses paired with each of the wines.
Vancouver Urban Winery is located in a fairly non-descript building two blocks South of the docks and 2 blocks North of Oppenheimer Park. At the entrance you will find beautiful doors with intricate woodwork and stonework. On entering, the interior has a unique layout with 24 foot ceilings, wooden beams and beautiful ironwork from its predecessors. There are some long wood tables perfect for large groups, or there is the fireplace with 2 long leather sofas which make for a nice way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon or wind down after a day at work. The Vancouver Urban Winery is located at 55 Dunlevy Street (just 3 blocks North of East Hastings Street). They are open for tastings and tours, Mon. to Wed. 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., Thur. to Fri. 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Sundays from Noon to 5:00 p.m. They are closed Saturdays for private events and occasionally will book private events during their operating hours. They update their Facebook Page regularly with their operating hours, upcoming events and promotions. One current promotion is Thirsty Thursday which is a 2 for 1 tasting special from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The Tasting Bar this month features Roaring Twenties Wine Co. Quails’ Gate, Noble Ridge Vineyards & Winery and Road 13 Vineyards. This is definitely a spot to check out. Cheers!

If you’re looking for a replacement conservatory roof in Southampton, you’ve come to the right place.
Upgrade your conservatory in less than one day here at Green Space UK . We use bespoke aluminium panels to transform your conservatory into a room you can use no matter season it is in the year.
We have installed over 100 of our replacement conservatory roofs in Southampton and the surrounding areas and have over 1000 independent reviews on Checkatrade.com with an average rating of 9.88 out of 10.
Our Replacement Conservatory Roof panels are light weight and insulated. They are tailor made to fit your existing conservatory frame so not only are they quick and easy to install but they will also ensure your conservatory is perfect temperature all year round.
“I discovered your insulated conservatory roof panels by chance. My existing glass roof was proving troublesome, I always had difficulty managing the temperature and condensation was a big problem. The self cleaning glass was no longer effective and the roof had developed a leak. Your team were very enthusiastic about the product and the sales process was very thorough but never pressurised. Once I agreed to proceed an exhaustive survey was undertaken, the surveyor was on site for 2 to 3 hours.
If you’d like to find out more, don’t hesitate to call us on 0800 65 25 157, hit the button below or carry on reading customer reviews below.
“Our conservatory roof was old and leaking badly. We reviewed other companies and received estimates that were more than our budget. We saw an advertisement for Green Space UK on Facebook and contacted the company. Very soon a consultant visited us and we agreed on a competitive price subject to a survey. We expected the installation to take a couple of days, but thanks to the hard graft of the fitters our large conservatory had a lovely new roof placed in on day.
“Thank you so much Green Space, you have totally transformed our old conservatory. From the start with Gareth who talked us through every detail to the finished product the service has been amazing. The roof has expertly been matched up to the existing windows. It now looks like a brand new conservatory. I can’t begin to tell you how pleased we are and to now to be able to put the room to good use again. The conservatory is south facing and with the old roof the room would be to hot to use in the summer. Not so now, the recent higher temperatures really put your claims to the test and we most certainly weren’t disappointed. The conservatory is now a pleasant day room, which along with our 6 dogs who used to overheat and pant under the old roof, now generally enjoy and overall spend a lot of time together sitting in the conservatory.
Use the before and after tool below to see what a difference our replacement conservatory roofs can make in 1 day.

text: Options for recycling and reusing chromated-copper-arsenate- (CCA) treated material include dimensional lumber and round wood size reduction, composites, and remediation. Size reduction by remilling, shaving, or resawing CCA-treated wood reduces the volume of landfilled waste material and provides many options for reusing used treated wood. Manufacturing composite products from CCA-treated wood combined with untreated wood, plastic, or cement has been explored. Remediation strategies are numerous; chemical extraction, bioleaching, chelation, and liquefaction or a combination of these techniques has been successful at removing metals from treated wood to varying degrees. Bioremediation is a novel approach to recycling CCA-treated waste wood and provides an opportunity to reuse this abundant fiber source in value-added composite products. In this method, oxalic acid extraction and bioleaching with a metal-tolerant bacterium have successfully removed 70% copper, 81% arsenic, and 100% chromium from chipped CCA treated Southern Pine. The two-step sequence of acid extraction followed by bioleaching removed more metals than either acid extraction or bioleaching alone. Reversing the sequence and bioleaching prior to acid extraction was also not as effective at metal removal. Metals that are released from CCA-treated wood during biomediation are recoverable from a liquid medium and available for reuse or disposal. The “cleaned” wood particles were reassembled into medium density particleboard prepared with urea-formaldehyde resin and evaluated for physical properties, such as internal bond strength, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, thickness swell, and water absorption. Bioremediation removes 80% to 100% of the heavy metals from spent CCA-treated wood enabling the wood fiber to be reused in composite products. However, as long as CCA-treated wood can be disposed in landfills, economics will remain unfavorable for wide acceptance of alternative reuse and remediation options.

The following is a guest article and recipe from my friend, and juicing guru Drew Canole.
It’s not normal to feel awful when you first wake up in the morning. Rather, you should feel absolutely amazing and bursting with vibrant energy. For 5,000 years, Ayurveda has been practiced to incorporate different herbs and spices that can boost up your immune system. Unfortunately, due to our lack of knowledge on natural remedies, we often take pharmaceutical medications and antibiotics.
The solution to your problem is an elixir that I personally made. The recipe includes lemon, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, vanilla bean, honey and coconut water. It’s easy to make and we can get these ingredients virtually everywhere. I call this the Grandpa Gubons Miracle Elixir, named after my grandfather.
Acts like an anti-inflammatory drug : A 2004 study published in the journal Oncogene found that curcumin (as well as resveratrol) were effective alternatives to the drugs aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and tamoxifen in exerting anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells.
Ginger may also help reduce chronic pain, by lowering your levels of hormones that induce inflammation. A study published in 2005, suggests that ginger could lessen pain more effectively than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, in lab tests, scientists have showed that ginger extract may slow the growth of colorectal and ovarian cancer cells, as well as protection against Alzheimer’s disease.
contains Vitamin P, which is known as Flavonoids. This is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radials associated with cellular damage and aging.
on by 40%! Cayenne pepper is added to speed-up metabolism and the thermogenic process, and Vanilla bean is for flavor.
Step 1: Juice the Lemon,Ginger and Turmeric.
Just to share with you, I haven’t been to a doctor for any serious illness since my transformation and you shouldn’t either. There’s no excuse for feeling bad in the morning. There’s no excuse for having less energy than what is required to spend quality time with your family. Boost your immune system so that sickness and fatigue doesn’t even cross your mind.
Make a Pitcher: 8″ of turmeric, 3″ ginger, 2 lemons, 1/8 cup honey, 1 vanilla bean, 3 tablespoons of cayenne and 24 ounces coconut water and 12 oz water.
With juicing, you get a lot of health benefits. Longevity, confidence, focus and mental clarity to name a few are all going to come your way if you make the right decision now.

Mentor/Mentee programs are often based on volunteers in the host company and are widely based on integrating into leisure activities and the private life. Often they do not give the best result. Relocare works with a professional angle and facilitate Mentor/Mentee programs with a high outcome of knowledge sharing.
Who do the candidate need to know?
Who would it be beneficial for the candidate to know?
Who could benefit from knowing the candidate based on cultural background?
What do the candidate need to learn within the first 3 months?
How can he/she do that? Etc.
Instead of exclusively focusing on attracting an international employee due to lack of manpower and competences, Relocare can help you explore and for instance enter into new export markets through your new international employees.
Relocare assists your organization in utilizing the extended knowledge of your candidate, which will enable you to significantly increase your insight in a new market, culture, network and understanding. Furthermore, we assist the candidate in realizing how many resources he or she has. This will help your candidate to work most effectively whilst taking advantage of and retaining the new knowledge.
One of the tools we use is the Intercultural Profile Assessment when choosing Mentors and developing the Mentor/Mentee relations and teams.
The Intercultural Profile Assessment offered by Relocare in collaboration with leading American researchers (Dr. Bennett and Dr. Hammer) is among the most validated and internationally recognized screenings of its kind for the measurement of intercultural empathy.
The entire job market constantly grows more diverse. And it is continually expanding. It is a challenge we all have to meet and adjust to, in order to be efficient and competitive in the future.
Diverse teams. Customers abroad. Expatriated and repatriated employees. The list goes on, but it is important to emphasize, that it is crucial to be able to relate to people with a different culture and worldview than your own.
It is hard to take a look in the company mirror and point out own shortcomings and room for improvement.
Our Intercultural Profile Assessment and development plans consist of four steps: Questionnaire, Analysis, Feedback and development plans – aimed at individuals as well as teams.
The program will strengthen the collaboration between employees of different knowledge backgrounds and will help the individual’s network to grow both professionally and socially. This will further increase the retention rate of your employees as the intercultural understanding increases.
Even though the satisfaction of the family plays a significant role in the retention of an employee and the performance at work, it is in many cultures not beneficial to mix work and family life. Focus will be on the professional life and the mentee will receive cultural advice and guidance from his or her mentor.
Relocare develops and implements a mentor program that strengthens intercultural empathy, which ensures better working relationships, which in turn let the flow of knowledge reach those who could benefit from it.

Can a business school help one million women in the developing world lift themselves out of poverty? The Street Business School, a tested and effective entrepreneurial training program in East Africa, plans to do just that.
Eleven years ago, three American women with no business training started BeadforLife, a fair trade organization in Uganda that paid women living in poverty to make colorful earrings, necklaces and bracelets out of recycled paper. On the surface, that sounds just like many other social-venture creation stories. What makes BeadforLife's story unique is that these founders knew from the beginning that they didn't want these jewelry-makers to become dependent on them or the organization for their future economic well-being.
What if paper beads stopped being fashionable and marketable? What if the organization had to leave Uganda for some reason? What if the skills these women were gaining were insufficient to allow them to be remain financially independent?
Entrepreneurship is the path out of poverty.
Entrepreneurship was the answer. As soon as a woman enrolled in the bead-making program, she started getting trained to create a business that would be sustainable in the local economy. The program was called Beads to Business -- something the founders thought of as "transformational trade."
Of course, the business training had to be customized, to be relevant to these impoverished women, who typically have little formal education. Customer service and basic bookkeeping -- even the distinction between profit and loss -- were totally new concepts for many of these women. And gaining even basic skills in these areas opened up whole new worlds of possibility.
The organization learned right alongside the participants. By constantly experimenting with the curriculum, testing the results and making necessary changes, organizers refined the program and made it more effective. In the last ten years, BeadforLife has injected substantial revenue into Ugandan communities by buying and selling beads, and has trained an estimated 45,500 women to start 3,250 businesses ranging from vegetable stalls to hair salons to restaurants.
Follow-up studies show that 81 percent of these businesses have remained open after two years, compared to an 80 percent failure rate for businesses in Uganda as a whole.
That's great news, of course, But Beads to Business' ability to scale was limited: The number of women who could be enrolled in its education program was limited by the volume of beads the organization could sell.
After struggling with this challenge, the school's organizers realized that beads were merely a means to an end -- the physical manifestation of the work of empowering women and fighting against poverty. The school had gotten good at business training, and there was no reason that that education had to be tied to beads alone.
Street Business School is born.
This led to the birth of the Street Business School -- a mobile business school that delivers its powerful entrepreneurship curriculum to women who have never rolled a single bead for the organization. The courses are delivered right in the communities where the women live, and take place over a period of six months. In addition to classroom sessions, the new entrepreneurs get one-on-one coaching from BeadforLife's trainers, who visit their businesses several times to make sure the lessons are being applied.
As happened with Beadsfor Life and Beads to Business, success followed yet again, with the founding of Street Business School. But, still dissatisfied with the number of women being served, organizers determined to start a global expansion of the School.
The goal is to train one million women entrepreneurs around the world by partnering with like-minded organizations that want to deliver the Street Business School curriculum in the communities they serve. The first immersion workshop -- a weeklong training, where staff from other organizations learn how to facilitate their own Street Business Schools -- is scheduled to take place September 18-23, with four partner organizations from other East African nations.
For 2018, the plan is to expand, to train organizations on other continents. If all goes well, by 2027, one million women will have been trained by this network of partner organizations.
While BeadforLife continues to sell its jewelry to help fund the Street Business School and its other programs, organizers say they see no limit to the number of women who can change their lives and lift themselves out of poverty through entrepreneurship.
In the photo, Scovia Nantale serves a customer a Ugandan dish called katogo, in her street-side restaurant. Having advanced from a roadside pot of stew to the small room she purchased for her hospitality business, Nantale is now a proud restaurant owner. Through Street Business School, this former stay-at-home mom became the breadwinner for her family. She started small -- by purchasing a cow's head and a lump of charcoal, which she used that first day to cook a traditional Uganda stew and sell nine plates of food. And things took off from there: Eventually, Nantale earned enough to buy a room to house her restaurant. That restaurant is now a staple in her community, and she hopes to obtain electricity soon, so she can offer her customers a particular treat: "cold Coca-Cola from the fridge."
Since graduating from Street Business School, Rose Nakalema has built up her charcoal business to where it's now thriving. That's a long way from where she used to be: selling vegetables, which brought her a mere dollar a day. Taking care of her grandchildren, who stay with her, was a struggle, for both her financial and emotional well-being, Nakalema acknowledges. "I used to be a back-door person that no one noticed," she says. "But now I am a front-door person, and everyone sees me!" To get to that point, Nakalema did some research and identified a strong demand in her neighborhood for charcoal; she then started off selling just one bag of the fuel a day. Today, however, she stocks and sells seven bags each day, producing enough income to comfortably support her family.
The only woman in a male-dominated field, Josephine Nassiwa earns her living as a brick-maker. That's a sharp contrast to her former life, when she used to sit at home with no work or income. Then Nassiwa attended a Street Business School session called "Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone." So she went to a patch of land near her home and made her first batch of bricks, thereby increasing her income to over $200 a month. Despite the heavy labor involved, Wassiwa says, "I am proud of myself. I work hard, I am happy, and I am proud to take my money to the bank. Street Business School helped get me out of my comfort zone."
Before joining BeadforLife, Amina Nalwoga couldn't afford to send her oldest son to school or feed her children three meals a day. For money, she would wash her neighbors' clothes. When she found work, she earned a mere 90 cents to $1.30 a day. On days when she earned nothing, the family went hungry. Once Nalwoga enrolled in Beads to Business, however, she received a $10 loan and was assigned to smart a small business over a weekend. She used the money to purchase supplies and cook some food snacks common to Uganda, then sold them by walking through her neighborhood. And so was born Amina's Snack Shop, a business that today allows her to not only provide for her children but put a little into savings each week.
When conflict broke out in her hometown in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Katiba Apendiki was forced to flee. She headed to Uganda with little but the clothes on her back, leaving her family destitute. Settling in Kampala, she heard about the Street Business School and found her lessons there in business fundamentals to be a powerful inspiration. "At Street Business School, I've learned about profits and what something costs. Now I know the lowest price I can sell it for," Apendiki says. "I know how to save and move towards my dreams." Today, she runs a successful jewelry and fabric import business, which she says has transformed her life.
Shallot Namuhawe recently graduated from the Street Business School as the owner of a successful vegetable stand. Her determination to succeed and support her family was powerful, and in turn was powered by trainings like "Starting Small and Finding Capital." The lessons learned prompted Namuhawe to look around her house for items she no longer used; and, sure enough, she found her wedding dress. She sold the dress for $36 and used the money to rent a small space and purchase vegetables. But the location was poor; business was slow. Listening to yet another lesson, this time about market research, Namuhawe realized she needed to move. Meanwhile, crisis struck: Her family was robbed of all its posssessions. Undeterred, Namuhawe found a new location; and this time things took off: In six months, she went from zero income to running a vegetable business now generating over $100 a month in profit.
Hadijah Namusis once survived on less than a dollar a day. Born into a family with 20 siblings, she worked the fields as a child and was married off at a young age. She cleaned houses, did field work and washed clothes. Then she enrolled in Street Business School. Learning the importance of investing in her own future, Namusis sold all of her unused possessions and spent the $88 she raised to purchase palm leaves and dye. Today, she sells her beautiful bags for $8 apiece and is setting the money aside to buy a poultry farm in the near future.
Judith Among was already an entrepreneur when she enrolled in Street Business School: With the support of her husband, she had started a peanut butter business; she even owned her own shop. But she was faced with stiff competition and few customers. That all changed in July of 2015 when, during a course titled "Growing Your Customer Base," Among learned ways to bring in more customers -- and profit. In her roomy shop, she began offering other products and charging customers to use the grinding machine she used for her peanut butter. Through tactics like those, Among was able to nearly double her weekly income. "I gained confidence and boldness to run my business successfully," she now says with pride.

Anyone who files for bankruptcy protection expects that the bothersome creditor calls and letters will stop. After all, that is one of the legal protections guaranteed through the automatic stay that comes with all bankruptcy filings. Indeed, most creditors follow the law and cease any further collection efforts. However, there are some who claim to be ignorant of any bankruptcy filings and continue to press debtors into paying up.

It's that time of year! State exams are beginning all over the country, and every teacher everywhere is experiencing some level of anxiety over student performance. Unfortunately, we are not just anxious about student success, but we are also anxious about how their performance on those exams will reflect on us.
For those of you not in the know, or who are fortunate enough to work in a state that does not subscribe to this practice, many states tie student performance on state-mandated exams to the evaluation of their teachers. For me in Florida, how my students perform on their Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) counts for 30% of my yearly evaluation! This can be quite frustrating for teachers who teach ESL or SPED students who struggle with literacy, test-taking, and language.
The day that test scores become available to teachers is a mix of fear and excitement - how did my students perform? I have experienced opening that document and feeling my heart sink into my stomach. When students perform poorly on their exams, it reflects poorly on me.
But I taught them all of the things!
Unfortunately, test scores are looked at as a means of determining how well a teacher taught the standards and concepts prescribed by the state, so when students do poorly, it stands to reason that the teacher did poorly teaching.
The only way to recover from poor test scores is reflection. What didn't work this year? What can I improve on for next year? What can I do to better address my students' needs?
But what do you do if you have done that and are working your teacher tail off and still aren't getting results?
Well, I have been there too. The students who I teach struggle so hard in testing. This is for a myriad of reasons that I could probably write a dissertation on, but I will spare you!
It wasn't making a difference.
Then, at some point it dawned on me.
Students don't understand the questions.
And not in the obvious way. Duh, right? Of course they don't understand the questions, they are getting them wrong!
No. What I mean is... they don't understand the question. They don't understand what it is asking them to actually do and what they need to call upon in their brain in order to answer it.
Students might be able to identify a theme in their sleep, but if they don't understand that a question is asking them to use that skill, it doesn't mean anything.
Seems obvious, right? But understand what a question is asking and understanding what a question is asking you for are different!
I pulled texts from our reading program Achieve 3000 and focused on the questions themselves. Not answering the question, but dissecting it into it's parts.
1. What is this question asking me to DO?
2. What skill do I need to know in order to answer this question?
I created a 4-column chart that includes check boxes related to the skills that they obtained throughout the school year, and had students practice dissecting the questions.
At first this was a disaster and students had no idea what they were supposed to do.
Their first instinct is to provide an answer to the question and move on! What sorcery is this question dissection?
Once we did a few together and students began to practice, they began to see the correlation between the language used in the question and the skills that we had practiced in class. They realized that they knew more than they though they did.
Rarely on an exam is a question going to directly ask a student to recall a specific skill. Instead they will be asked indirectly to apply a specific skill to a particular text within the context of that text. So what students need to learn is how to correlate the question itself to a skill that they know. By having them deconstruct questions, they are practicing how to understand the question.
Of course, students need to apply that type of deconstruction when they take the actual exam and really analyze each question, but if they are comfortable with doing this or they recognize certain patterns in how questions are asked, it can make taking the text much less painful for them.
Nothing is worse than knowing that you students can identify the central idea of any text, only to find that they got every central idea question on the exam wrong!
If your students are struggling with state exams, try having them deconstruct questions. In the future, I will use this strategy from the beginning of the year so that students have ample time to practice!
Hi could you send me a copy of this document that I can add and change? I am teaching 5th grade and would love to use this.
Do you have sample questions?
Same! I'm a 5th grade self contained teacher and I could GREATLY benefit from having this document to use across content! May I PLEASE have an editable copy of this????
Can u send me a copy of the chart?
Hi, this is great! Especially for my ESL students! could you please send me a copy of your chart please? my email is elizabeth.darnell@cowetaschools.net.
Can you also send me a copy?Thanks!!
Can you please send me a copy too? Thanks!!
I love this, as well. It's so frustrating that the state tests seem to intentionally try to confuse the kids, by the test language and format. I think this would be incredibly helpful.
I would appreciate your help by having a copy too.
I, too, had the same epiphany last year! If a question asks a student the following: How does the sentence in the box below help contribute to the development of ideas in paragraphs 4-7? WOW!!! To answer that question students have to know so many different things. 1.) What does contribute mean? 2.) Identify the sentence in the box and “understand” how that sentence “contributes” to the development of ideas in paragraphs 4-7. 3.) What does “Development of Ideas” mean? 4.) Go BACK and READ paragraphs 4-7 and decide the correct answer. (This is an actual question we went over in a 6th ELA Class today.). You are so right!!! We teach central idea, theme, elements of plot, find the evidence, and on and on.... and then, often on the test the question being asked is like a foreign language to the students. I’m glad I saw your blog today. It affirms my own “AHA” moment from last year. .... and just for the sake of knowing.... I wonder why the test makers create questions that must be analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated BEFORE attempting to answer it? I get that students need to be able to infer what is being asked, but in some cases, like the question I used above, the actual question may have lost the the intended purpose, which was to find out if the student could choose how a sentence helped to make a section of text better. For the past two years, I have been deconstructing questions, and teaching my students to do so; however, I wonder. Is it necessary to have students analyze and deconstruct at least 60-65% of the questions? It’s definitely “good for thought.” Thanks for sharing!!
Do you have something like this for math??
I would love a copy of the document too. Fabulous idea! THANK YOU!!

A storm damaged roof is a very serious issue that if left unchecked, can cost a homeowner greatly.
Storm Damage occurs in a variety of forms. Wind, hail, debris and even torrential downpours can seriously compromise the integrity of your roof. Storm Damage can be difficult or even impossible to sport from the ground. This is exactly why you need an Advanced Roofing Systems specialist to provide you with a complimentary roof assessment.
Since it can take time for hail and wind damage to become visible on the inside of your home, it is important to have your roofing inspected immediately after a storm. By waiting too long you may jeopardize your opportunity to file an insurance claim.
Hail Damage causes graduals to break off from the shingle, leaving the asphalt directly exposed to the sun. This causes your roof to deteriorate earlier than expected. Damaged shingles are no longer able to effectively shed water, which in turn reduces the lifespan of the shingle and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
Wind Damage can reach havoc on your home. Wind Damage loosens fasteners and breaks the adhesion, which makes your roof susceptible to more damage. Wind Damaged shingles are also no longer able to effectively shad water, thus reducing the life span of the singles and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
It is very important that you record the date of a severe storm. A severe storm can damage your roof today, but leaks and other problems can take years to show up. Most insurance companies have a statue of limitations, stipulating how long after a storm you have to file an insurance claim. So if you think you might have storm damage, have one of our specialists meet with you at your convenience to give you an honest evaluation.
Damaged Flashing is the result of the improper installation or drying and cracking.
Missing or Damaged Shingles are caused by exposure to high wind and improper fastening. They may be replaced individually but it is not recommended.
Buckling is cause by improperly applied felt or movement in a deck, while curling is caused by under saturation of felt in organic-based shingles.
Curling is caused by inadequate ventilation, improper felt backing or lack of back coating.
Blistering is caused by excessive use of asphalt plastic cement or moisture in the shingles.
Algae Growth occurs when airborne algae is deposited on the roof. It’s a common problem in warm, humid climates.
Missing Graduals on an aging shingle indicates that the shingle needs to be replaced. On new shingles, a certain number of missing granules are normal.
Rotting is a common problem with organic-based shingles and is caused when moisture is absorbed at the edge of the shingle.
Our highly qualified staff at Advanced Roofing Systems has guided thousands of homeowners through the complex world of the insurance claims process. Advanced Roofing Systems is committed to using only the highest quality roofing products. Our team of experts are dedicated to delivering the best service and roof installation available in today’s marketplace.

Crew Love is a exciting new and fun social app that connects groups of friends with another group to hang out, date, or just for a night out. With Crew Love, no one gets left out. A group of at least three friends sign up, make a profile, and pick preferences.
After preferences are selected, the group will be matched with another group with similar preferences. How many times have you asked or been asked, "where are the girls/guys"? Or how about "Dave, you have all the girls, do they have friends"? Or "Kim, hook me up with one of his friends"? I'm sure everyone has been asked or asked those questions their selves. Crew Love answers those questions.
Crew Love is different from other social apps because the app focuses on groups of people and not singles. With groups, there is less pressure with dating/meeting new people and makes social interactions safer with familiar people around you. Nowadays, there is so much pressure on dating/socializing.
In general, things are more fun with more people, especially if those people are your friends. Crew Love encourages people to have fun dating and meeting new people. Double dating or group dating seems less nerve wrecking. Also, since you're with your friends, you all have each other's backs enhancing safety when meeting new people.
Crew Love also encourages you to increase your social circle. After you make a profile with your friends, you can connect with other crews who have the same interests as you.

I say that should be safe. So what could cause the crash?
It looks like either the billing service didn't start or the service was disconnected, since the variable for the service (mService) is the thing that is null here.
Is there any way I can test if the 'billing service' has started with code in Stencyl?
It looks like the crash point can't be reached if the service hasn't started yet. Assuming that is true, I see only two points where mService is set to null. The first is the onServiceDisconnected callback. I'm not sure what circumstances that would be called in but if it's called as part of Google's testing then that could be the problem as it doesn't prevent you from trying to use purchase blocks. The second point is the dispose function which is handled on Stencyl's end, and I'm not sure when that is triggered.
A related sidenote: It seems like the 'if player can make purchases' bool is always false on iOS. So I had to take away the 'if player can make purchases' bool on iOS, to have the iOS version working.
So purchasesAreInitialized() is not consistent on both Android and iOS, that may be good to know.
Been getting the same errors which was raising my android crash rate. Although I won't be able to test since I can't replicate it on my device.

Question: We spoke a couple of weeks ago regarding gad, pulmonary breathing and consistent pft results the same or close to.
Now it's breathing issues You mentioned that you realized certain triggers when I mentioned watching my mother die of copd.
pulmonologist says it takes entire lung to breath, if upper chest is tight from stress can it restrict breathing but should improve if stress is reduced.
I remember you well. The "takes my breath away" joke in reference to you date in 1979 made me chuckle. Thanks for your question. By asking me using my direct link, I consider you one of my patients, and will give you the very best care and attention I can to help you.
I'm hearing you ask if panic attacks, since they cause very real and distressing physical symptoms, can affect breathing in a negative way.
Panic attacks, as you mention, activate the fight-or-flight system in situations where we don't really need it activated. This system involves a surge of catecholamines which does very physical things to the body like increase heart rate, dilate the pupils, send blood to our muscles to prepare to run, and does indeed affect the lungs. We breathe faster and have the very unpleasant sensation that we are not getting enough air, to encourage us to breathe more in preparation for running away. So in that sense, yes, panic attacks do affect the lungs and give us unpleasant sensations.
However, despite all of this, panic does not affect the lungs in a way that is actually dangerous. We have FEELINGS of chest tightness and being unable to breathe well, but these feelings are not based on physiological reality. Your lungs are getting plenty of oxygen and there is plenty of space in your chest for your lungs to expand and contract safely. So while panic attacks feel terrible, they are actually not dangerous at all.
This is something that is a focus of therapy in my patients with panic attacks. Realizing THEY ARE NOT DANGEROUS is key to mastering them. In combination with medication, the cognitive knowledge that you are actually breathing fine despite feeling terrible help you overcome the sensation.
Please ask me any follow-up questions that come to mind. I enjoy speaking with you and would be happy to answer them.
I know what you mean by panic attacks not being dangerous. I just hate the recurring tight feeling to my chest restricting how much I can take in as I inhale. I seem to get three seconds (one thousand one, one thousand two.......) then my lungs hit a wall and stop expanding. My ribs seem to stop anymore expanding of the lungs. My lower lungs are what's doing the work my pulmonologist said that the anxiety is keeping a bit of tight band on my chest keeping the upper from working as it would normally like you, he is convinced that it's anxiety and as soon as I can get back to a calm state I should breTh better. That's hard when you get a sudden stop when you want a good breath.
You describe a panic attack well. It is intensely uncomfortable and frightening. I would disagree with your pulmonologist somewhat, in that the top part of your chest is not being rendered unfunctional by panic, it is still working adequately but just feels tight. As you describe, it is difficult to realize this in the middle of an attack, but telling yourself the attack is not dangerous is a helpful mental exercise to help yourself deal with it in the moment.
Why don't you tell me some of the visual and mental cues you experience? We could work together to talk about these.
Are you taking any medication for panic attacks? They are very treatable. I could give you some recommendations.
It seems my phone is not letting my responses go thru. I am sorry to cause a misunderstanding regarding my answer to the pulmonologist response. I was trying to indicate that he too thinks that the excess anxiety has caused a tight feeling across the chest causing the feeling to be hard to inhale in the upper chest region. He was mentioning that it can cause the feeling that the ribcage will not expand when you want it to causing the lower area to try to compensate. I know its only a sensation.
The big issue is the stomach pressing against the diaphragm at the same time as the breathing seems to be in the lower lungs.
The only medication is 10 mg lexapro twice a day.
Some of the Cues are when I see a stairway to climb, i panic ahead of time knowing/thinking i will be out of breath when I hit the top.
Hearing a phone ring and hurrying to answer it makes me frightened of the shortness of breath as I answer it.
Hearing the Doorbell ring and quickly moving to get it and knowing ill be out of breath when I get there.
Having to raise my voice to the dog as she barks makes me out of breath.
All of these things I have trained my brain to be frightened of. I wish to say they are all GAD related but somedays question the conclusion on my first pft and if it will worsen or stay the same.
The conclusion was "Very mild Copd/ventilary Defect" Watching my mother go through all the stages of COPD, I got to understand the malady, sometimes I feel a bit too much understanding.
In 14 years I have visited in office 3 pulmonologist,and HCM 1. No one seems to concerned with my pft results, they all conclude that I have GAD and that my issues are Anxiety Based. I have spoken with a pulmonary PA and a Respiratory therapist. Both have seen my PFT reports. Again no one seems concerned, the therapist has said that it looks normal for someone my age and that the changes resemble aging.
I worry on this, why, I can guess that its because I do not wish to go through the same as my mother. This is not the first long term panic issue, but it is the longest running. It began two years ago last april while attempting to clean up damage from a spring ice storm. The scrambling and work to clean up triggered an event of short breathing. That sent a short lived panic attack. It returned for a one week visit later that summer. Then it went away for a year, and then it kicked in again and has been with me since. Numerous high stressing events led up to the time this began. I want to believe that the storm was the straw that broke the camels back and pushed it over the edge.
I just have a hard time anymore believing that the issues i face now is all anxiety but the doctors and my old psychiatrist whom is to far away to see anymore, all believe that there should not be any physical changes or if so very little. I wish I could describe the feeling in the lungs when I am having the obstructive breathing issue and the feeling when I run short of breath when talking. I am just hoping that a body can be so over stimulated and brain so mislead that I have psychological, not physical sensations preventing my normal living.
I once joked about people i know being hypochondriacs, I never belittled them but I have become one and know their plight. What I have to find is the point where I must believe all the doctors who all say that I should be fine and not to worry but its one hell of a challenge.
Thank you for sharing more of your story with me.
Let me start by saying I do not at all think you're nuts. When people experience bad things, they don't want to experience them again. This is natural. You watched your mother die from a terrible disease and you are intensely worried this may be happening to you. This is a natural and very human response.
Sometimes the brain takes things out of proportion. You can even know your response is out of proportion, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel very real. When you're worried about climbing the stairs or answering the phone or door or raising your voice at your dog, this is a very real feeling. Anxiety can make you feel like you can't breathe, this is a fact. But it is also a fact from reviewing your PFTs that you do not have COPD like your mother. Your lungs are working fine. And you have to keep telling yourself this.
You're right. This is one hell of a challenge. If Lexapro 20mg daily (total) has not been helping you, perhaps it is time to try a different medication. Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil all come to mind. Sometimes one antidepressant does not work, but often a different one will. How long have you been taking the Lexapro? With medication and ongoing therapy, the vast majority of my patients will see these panic attacks and anxiety improve tremendously.
Thanks, first I was just adding a bit of stupid humor on the NUTS bit. Outside this issue, I have a warped sense of humor so it was strangely fitting but not actual.
It is unfortunate that e-medicine has not evolved to the point of prescribing across state lines, but I'm sure you will find someone who can prescribe something effective for you. There are many antidepressants, which as you note are not heavily sedating, and one almost certainly will work for you. It sounds like Lexapro is not getting the job done, so I would think about switching.
I appreciate your humor. It's a good quality to have.
And it's my pleasure to read what you send and help you think through it. It's my job and I enjoy it. I hope to talk with you again soon, for any other questions you have or for ongoing therapy.

ChoiceStream, which began as a product recommendation engine before three years ago shifting to programmatic ad tech, has raised $7.5 million in Series B financing from Fred Alger Management.
The financing will help ChoiceStream grow out its sales capabilities, with the remainder going toward the build-out of its demand-side platform (DSP) technology.
CEO Eric Bosco said he believes ChoiceStream’s roots in recommendations, namely its “intellectual property inherited from the personalization business,” gives the company an edge in the crowded DSP space.
The DSP is also designed to serve dynamic creative in real-time, for instance letting weather forecasts influence which products show up in the ads.
Technologies from ChoiceStream’s other assets, like its survey site Pollshare.com, can also be applied to its DSP. For instance, Pollshare can be used to find hard-to-reach audiences. For example, Dunkin’ Donuts released coffee pods for Keurig machines and requested ChoiceStream target Keurig owners – which is not typically captured through cookies.
ChoiceStream drove traffic to a poll question hosted through Pollshare to identify Keurig users. In so doing, it discovered that people who owned Keurig machines were also five times as likely to own Jeeps and used that audience, which was a better-defined segment, to target Keurig owners.
ChoiceStream’s DSP clients include 150 agencies and advertisers.
Bosco said the company is on track to grow 300% year over year as more brands delve into programmatic. It’s integrated with “most of the major advertising exchanges,” he added, including Google’s DoubleClick, Yahoo’s RightMedia, AppNexus and Facebook FBX.

Taking an adventurous road trip with your family is one of the most fun and inexpensive ways to see all of the amazing things that are located around you, and it’s a great opportunity to let your kids experience a place that is totally different from where you live, without buying costly plane tickets. The long drives, however, can prove stressful and boring after a few hours (especially with children), so whether you’re taking a long trip down the coast or through the countryside, here are my tips for surviving long road trip journeys.
So you have everything ready to go – snacks, books, wet wipes? Check! But what’s the point in being perfectly prepared if you aren’t able to easily get to everything? How many times do we go over our checklist again and again only to put the most important travel items in the boot of the car? Solve this problem by getting each child their own little bag for small snacks and car activities, and don’t forget to make a bag for yourself. Pack the items you’ll need to retrieve quickly like wipes, bags, drinks, and maps in the small bag so that if you need anything urgently it will be quick and easy to find.
Traditional car games like I Spy are fun for small kids, but may not keep the attention of older children. Pack activity books or printables (ones that pertain to your road trip are great!) and for children who are even older, get your hands on a disposable camera or let them use your phone and have them take photos of all the sights you drive past. Taking photos is a fun way to stay busy, and has the bonus of providing special mementoes to remember the trip by.
Don’t get so preoccupied in planning for the trip ahead that you forget to take care of important details now. Make sure you take the car for a tune-up before you go if you haven’t had it looked at for a while. It’s better to run into a problem now rather than when you’re miles away from home! While you’re having your car’s oil changed and brakes checked, take the time to get up-to-date on your driving knowledge by taking a mock driving theory exam on Top Tests’ website. You can never be too practised when it comes to driving! Don’t forget to pack a mobile phone charger for the car, and pack basics like a first aid kit and the tools to change a tyre.
Road trips can be some of the greatest holidays to go on, especially with little ones, as long as you know how to prepare in advance. Hopefully, these tips will help you to make the most of your family trip, or inspire you to plan one for the near future! No matter where you’re travelling to or how you get there, I hope that you have fun and make amazing memories during your trip!

Featured topics include sanctuary cities and illegal immigration, the left's radical climate agenda, regulations, school choice, voter fraud, and the unprecedented assault on our constitution.
Tom Garrett is here to discuss Virginia's Republican delegation and its legislative accomplishments so far, along with challenges down the road, and the current push for Trump's TAX REFORM!
Former VA Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli will be speaking about constitutional overreach and corruption in Virginia, including Dominion Energy's control over the Virginia legislature, and government surveillance.

Viewed at the start by some as adventurous and trendsetting, the ludicrous garb and chic disco of London's Spandau Ballet were both dubious new wave developments, but spawned much replication. Head poseur Tony Hadley and his four cohorts (including songwriting guitarist Gary Kemp) found success with a heavily rhythmic brand of distant funk-rock dolled up with synthesizers and stentorian singing. Produced by Richard James Burgess, Journeys to Glory contains one great dance hit (actually, one tightly compressed riff: "To Cut a Long Story Short," their first single) and a batch of variations thereon. With the addition of horns and other reformulated moves, Diamond  issued in the UK as a set of four 12-inch singles as well as a regular single album  also produced a few more estimable British chart smashes ("Chant No. 1," "Paint Me Down"). Possessing only limited talent themselves, Spandau opened the floodgates to a wave of superior electro-dance bands who had little trouble creatively eclipsing them.
Spandau then abandoned synthesizers and high-tension funk for schmaltzy pop with soul pretensions. Working with the production team of Tony Swain and Steve Jolley, the fivesome cut True and Parade, the first yielding several attractive blends of energy, melody, warmth and stylishness ("Communication," "Lifeline") as well as some of the sappiest MOR ever ("True," which became a global hit). Generally less wimped-out, Parade nonetheless continues the bland chart fare, with the stylistic divergence best represented by "Revenge for Love" (good) and "Only When You Leave" (egregiously mellow).
During legal tumult between Spandau and Chrysalis, the label issued a collection of the band's singles, followed by a UK-only compilation of extended remixes.
The wretched Through the Barricades dumps the Perry Como snooze for an overheated American album-rock sound that echoes Eric Carmen, REO Speedwagon (or is it Styx?) and Billy Joel. Gary Langan's co-production (with the group) has all the earmarks of a desperate last-ditch grab at reclaiming US airplay. Kemp's songs are worthless; the echo on Hadley's melodramatic warbling (backed in maximally clichéd fashion by a female trio) only makes the whole affair more laughable.
With the cinematically inclined Kemp brothers getting good notices for their work in The Krays, Spandau's days may be numbered. But the group (no longer meriting American release  is that any way to treat a Top 5 act six years later?) hasn't given up yet. A characterless nothing whose blandly antiseptic soul, rock and funk stylings sound like an amalgam of VH-1's worst mushmongers, Heart Like a Sky's main entertainment value lies in the clumsy syntax of Kemp's greeting-card sentiments. (At random: "Two young babes in a foreign land / Draw no milk from the dusty sand / Close their eyes from the night so cold / Feel the love in their mothers [sic] hold.") Say goodnight, boys.

This week I thought I would show you some quick simple ideas for a Ghostbuster party. If you combines these with the slime and the crafts that I have shown previously then you are well on your way to making a brilliant Ghostbuster party.
First off I wanted to show you the above, on Etsy you can buy a download to print at home a whole bunch of Ghostbuster party decorations, before you do that though check out the two top tips below which when combined with my ideas from last week, some Ghostbuster toys, green and black balloons as well as green and black party plates etc, then you're pretty much set already.
Hazard Tape, this can be find in loads of places but maybe try somewhere like B&Q. It's not expensive and can be used to cordon off areas or displays. You can use it to create a path to a certain area or you can even cut the tape in half, creating thin strips and use it on decorations or party favours like the picture below.
For a birthday party I recommend using rolls of plastic table cloth, they can be found on Amazon and come in every colour. You'll need black and green, maybe a little red. With the green cloth, cut out a slime shape or many of them and use them on the walls, over doors or on the table.
