"Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap." Source: Pexels.
An old, tired-looking dog wandered into a yard. The owner of the house saw his collar and well-fed belly and assumed he was from a home.
The owner let the dog follow him into his house, down the hall, and into the lounge room. The dog immediately fell asleep on the couch. An hour later, the dog woke up and walked to the door. The owner let him out.
The next day the dog was back, resumed his position on the couch and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks.

New York, London, Venice, Paris. Fine artist, Neil Dawson clearly has a thing for cities. Big, bold, beautiful, engaging, overpowering, enigmatic urban thoroughfares that command our immediate attention and respect. They’ve always provided a draw and allure to artists of all generations and genres, searching for that previously unseen perspective on a tantalisingly familiar angle, scene or vista. Dawson is no different, yet so very different at the same time. He’s constantly a prisoner to their colour, energy and vivacity and describes what he sees as a contradictory subtle and confrontational aspect to the metropolistic urban spaces that he commits to canvas. Moreover he insists that nightfall proffers an even more special atmospheric advantage that gives his visions even greater visual power play. The flooding of artificial light and the fluid, visceral movement of rain hitting the surfaces with an intensity all of its own, highlight cities that never sleep or even nap take on a draconian scale. To Dawson’s mind, these concrete jungles never stand still and provide a constant and ever changing source of inspiration for him.
It all might have been so very different for Dawson though, had he not experienced something of a cathartic moment in his unrelated career that beckoned him back to the creative fold after choosing to take an altogether surprising direction at a pivotal time. Despite showing all the early signs of forging a promising career in the world of professional art, Dawson chose not to follow this calling and seek out another vocation in life; until of course, that cathartic moment we mentioned. On leaving school, Dawson managed to secure a coveted place on an art foundation course at the much-celebrated, Central St Martins School of Design in London; and a seat of creative learning that had thrust the revered likes of Stella McCartney, Peter Blake, Terence Conran and, er, Jarvis Cocker upon society at various junctures in the space-time-continuum. Unfortunately the one year course didn’t live up to Dawson’s expectations, in as much as he was hit with a painful truth and emotional obstacle that, try as he might, he just couldn’t conquer, and that essentially triggered him falling out of love with art.
It was an expected and encouraged part of the art foundation course, as with any other, to describe your work. The reasons and concepts that lie behind the canvas, what you as the artist was thinking at the time and moreover, what you hope the public at large will see in your creation. Effectively to labour on the message that said imagery is supposedly perceived to be conveying to its new audience. Dawson understandably felt that this was virtually impossible, and that this explanation more often was dealt with by the heart and mind of the individual beholder. And that dissecting and discussing works in their unclothed form was not something he wished to be privy to or necessarily respected as a process. Either way, Dawson completed the course, however then made the decision to turn his back on art. He went on to study for a degree in economics of all disciplines and subsequently entered the banking and financial industry shortly after.
But obviously this wasn’t the last we’d heard from Dawson the fine artist. The thing is this. Dawson had always sought a great deal of passion and excitement from travel, and has journeyed extensively over the years. And it was only when Dawson began to travel that his interest in art was revitalised and eventually led to a renaissance. Photographing anything and indeed, everything that he encountered on his travels, on returning home Dawson was moved and visually inspired enough to want to dig out his old paints and palette and see if he could turn back the years, to his adolescence and to when he naturally painted for fun. He reimagined his extensive photo diaries of life here, there and everywhere on canvas, and almost immediately discovered an overwhelming affinity with the mediums, the materials and more than anything else, the sheer desire to visually record courtesy of his dormant talents. Dawson soon quit his banking career and turned his now undivided attentions back towards art in all its glories and strove to carve out a new career.
And when Dawson’s not circumnavigating the globe – and is found a little closer to home – he insists that he’s equally as motivated and inspired by the everyday and circumstantial evidence he also commits to canvas at every opportunity. Explaining that he’s a very visual-led artist, Dawson cites everything from watching TV, walking around town and flicking through newspapers as having influenced his subsequent artworks, and any given images, compositions and colours can spark an idea or concept in his mind; which he then instantly transcribes to paper in either the form of jotted notes, doodles and graphic scribbles, knowing that he’s got the nucleus of a future composition, right there.

The Assessment Department is responsible for data collection and appraisal of commercial, industrial agricultural, residential and vacant properties within the Town of Clay. We also administer all exemptions, review and analyze sales data, manage the equalization rate, defend the Town in assessment related court cases, and disseminate large volumes of assessment and tax related data to the general public. The Assessor is available by appointment throughout the year to discuss assessment related topics. We recognize that the issue of property taxes and its congruence with assessments is a complicated and emotional issue. The Assessors’ office would like property owners to be aware that WE DO NOT set budgets or levy taxes. The tax rates seen on your tax bills are the result of the expenditures and levy requests of the taxing jurisdictions in which you reside.
The Assessor will accept informal requests to your assessment at any time during the year upon the filing of an “Assessment Review Consent Form” available at our offices. These forms are ususally reviewed as the last part of the process in the finishing the tentative assessment roll, which is filed on May 1 of every year. The forms must be submitted by April 1st to provide time for review. Any request for an Assessment Review must include supporting data with each form. From this point on, the Assessor will only consider an assessment reduction upon full interior and exterior inspection of your property. Keep in mind that for assessment purposes (mass appraisal purposes) all buildings are measured from the OUTSIDE, where a fee appraiser will generally measure the inside. The reason is simple. Quite frankly, no one wants the Assessor in their house, while a fee appraiser is doing his job at your request for some type of possible financial gain (refinance, for example). Since all data collected has to adhere to the same process and principles, Assessors measure the outside for all properties.
The Town of Clay appraises property at a partial value. This is a Town Board decision. The equalization rate (Level of Assessment-LOA) for 2018 is 4.21%. This reflects a very slight increase( 1.9%) in overall market value for 2018. It should be noted that while most of Onondaga County is at 100% of market value, over 50% of the properties in New York State have equalization rates under 10% of full market value.
To arrive at full market value for your property, divide your asessed value by .0421. A property assessed at $5,000, divided by .0421 will yield a market value of $118,765. The Equalization rate may change every year based on yearly differences in sales versus the assessments on those sales properties. The actual rate is set by the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services. The assessment roll for 2018-2019 is based on sales data compiled beyween July 1, 2016 and June 30, of 2017.
The Town of Clay property values on average have risen 3.6% in the last 10 years, a common trend in the northern suburbs of Onondaga County. This is a positive re-affirmation that investing in real estate in these areas is a sound investment.
The Tentative Assessment roll (link to 2018 Tentative Assessment Roll) is filed on May 1st and may be inspected during regular office hours. Grievance Day is May 22th, 2018, the fourth Tuesday of May from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The Assessor will be in attendance with the roll beyond regular business hours, 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., at the following days and time.
If you have decided to file for an assessment reduction, you should mail or deliver the complaint form and supporting documentation to your local assessing unit so that it arrives on or before Grievance Day. You can find the Grievance form online here.If you mail the form, even if it is postmarked on or before Grievance Day, it is deemed to be late if it does NOT arrive by Grievance Day. Ideally, the form should arrive at least 3 business days before Grievance Day. Otherwise, the assessor can obtain an adjournment to have time to prepare a response to your complaint. The reason behind this is that due to the volume of complaints, the forms cannot be reviewed by the Assessor by Grievance Day in preparation for submission to the Board of Assessment Review. IT should be noted that a personal appearance before the Board of Assessment Review IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. All paperwork will be reviewed by the Board of Assessment Review regardless of your choice not to appear.

I have suffered from depression my whole adult life. Symptoms of depression and anxiety run in my family. So any story about new treatments for depression always catch my eye. But this one caught my eye for another reason. One of the indications of depression is a reduced hippocampus, a part of the brain that controls, among other things, memory and spatial navigation. Scientists have found a drug that increases the size of the hippocampus and they hope that this will not only treat depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s but cure them.
They discovered this drug by testing several on Neuralstem’s neural stem cell line and seeing which promoted cell growth. Then they tested the most promising one in animals and now NSI-189 is being tested in humans for effectiveness at treating depression.
The researchers used a line of neural stem cells developed by Neuralstem Inc., a closely held biotechnology company based in Rockville, Maryland. The company developed the line from fetal tissue donated by a woman who underwent an elective abortion at 8 weeks.
The stem cells, taken from an area near the developing spinal cord of the fetus, have the theoretical ability to develop or differentiate into any of three cell types found in the nervous system. The cells were kept alive in culture and chemically manipulated to keep them from differentiating.
So the question is, would it be ethical to take this drug for depression if it becomes an FDA approved treatment? The manufacture of the drug itself does not require aborted fetal tissue. It was only discovered and developed using cells that look to be obtained from an elective abortion.
I think this situation may be analogous to that of vaccines. Many vaccines are created with cell lines that originated from an aborted fetus. Cell lines MRC-5 and WI-38 are common cell lines used to produce vaccines for rubella, polio, hepatitis A and chicken pox. MRC-5 was developed from lung cells from a 14-week-old male fetus that was electively aborted in 1966. The WI-38 line was derived from a female fetus that was aborted in 1964.
Many people often argue that using fetal cells from an aborted fetus is morally acceptable because the fetus was going to die anyway. The Catholic Church rejects this argument. If an organism must be intentionally destroyed to harvest cells, then the cells are morally tainted. If these fetal stem cells had come from a natural miscarriage, then it would be morally permissible for parents to donate these cells to research. The morality of fetal cell use is analogous to that of organ donation. If the patient died of natural causes or a traumatic event, then is is morally permissible to use their organs for the benefit of others. It is not morally permissible to intentionally and prematurely end a person’s life and then take their organs for donation. Using fetal stem cells from aborted fetuses is analogous to using organs from death row inmates or victims of euthanasia.
I have written before that it is acceptable for pro-life parents to use these vaccines for their children as long as parents do their homework, request alternatives and voice their objections to health care providers if no alternatives are available. Companies will not change their practices if there are no complaints against their practices.
Which brings me to what truly bothers me about this drug and what Neuralstem, and others like Senomyx, a biotech company that uses aborted fetal cell lines to test flavor enhancers, are doing. There is no mention anywhere on Neuralstem‘s website, as far as I could see, that lets the consumer know where they got the cells for their stem cell line. It could be they no longer use that cell line but I found no information to the contrary. Their recently published articles refer to their neural stem cell lines as “fetal” and “embryonic.” How are consumers supposed to object if they do not even know there is something to object to?
I fear this is the future. Well meaning pro-lifers using drugs and other medical breakthroughs with no knowledge of the unethical practices that brought them to market. This is another disastrous legacy of Roe vs. Wade. A fetus is now considered no more than just tissue and therefore companies do not feel obligated to let patients know that their product was made possible by ripping a fetus from its mother’s womb. These companies could have used cells from a natural miscarriage but instead they chose to morally taint their work by using the cells from the taking of an innocent life. And thanks to the false notion of “reproductive rights” now they do not feel obliged to disclose this very important fact. A fact that would matter greatly to a great many people. If only we knew about it.

Winter is coming and the governmental facilities haven’t arrived yet. Three-quarters of the SAE still are unaccounted for, meaning that people affected by the earthquake of the Central Italy are still living in containers, prefabricated houses on wheels or in some other makeshift houses. People start feeling cold. The situation is dramatic. Indeed, some regions intend to take action against the company that produces and delivers the temporary houses.
We had an idea. A challenging project aiming at making a quick fix of the umpteenth delay of this post-earthquake recovery system. We want to cover the whole crater – as we did with the prefabricated houses – by delivering pellet stoves (or similar solutions, according to the needs of the beneficiaries). The project name is “Warming Amatrice” but it will go beyond the perimeter of Amatrice, reaching all the corners of the seismic crater.
Employees of Italian parliament and senate donated us 1100€ enabling us buying one of the first stoves and starting with the project. Request are many but together we can make it. United we stand!
Let’s keep Amatrice warm, spread the word!

Presidio has opened the first EMC (News - Alert)-validated Platinum Solution Center in Woburn, Mass., to showcase its Presidio Managed Cloud offering. The facility is a complete ecosystem built to EMC specifications and offering Presidio’s enterprise hybrid cloud management as a service as well as dozens of integrated EMC and VMware products.
The partnership is the latest in a spate of announcements promoting the federation of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. For its part, EMC solidified its hybrid cloud strategy just last week with the rollout of its EMC Hybrid Cloud Solution. The offering works with a variety of public cloud services including AWS and Microsoft (News - Alert) Azure as well as EMC-powered cloud service providers like Presidio.
The new Solutions Center offers private and public cloud functionality and management from both Presidio and VMware as well as EMC Hybrid Cloud offerings. The EMC Hybrid Cloud is built with both Microsoft and OpenStack technology, stemming from EMC’s recent acquisition of cloud technology companies Cloudscaling, Maginatics and Spanning. The companies all use OpenStack to accelerate adoption and federation of hybrid cloud environments.
"In the last two years, we have built out our capabilities in design, implementation, and support of large-scale hybrid cloud solutions utilizing EMC and VMware technology," said Raphael Meyerowitz, assistant vice president of data center services at Presidio. "Our hybrid cloud solution center along with Presidio's Managed Cloud service catalog management allows us to demonstrate to clients the power of EMC and VMware technology to provision compute, storage, and custom services as well as manage, monitor, and cost quantify them through their full lifecycle."
The announcement follows OpenStack platform provider Siara’s news that it had completed a successful proof of concept with MSP KVH’s (News - Alert) customers. The service provider is offering the platform to federate a wide variety of cloud deployments through a single cloud and WAN orchestration interface based on Siara’s cloudScape platform, which uses OpenStack.

Family, friends and others grieved the loss to Mollie Tibbetts.
After Mollie’s family asked that her murder not be politicized, President Donald Trump disregarded their wishes and went on television to state that the person that killed Mollie was an illegal immigrant.
In that same time frame, a U.S. citizen named Chris Watts was arrested and charged in the murder and massacre of his pregnant wife and two small daughters, whose bodies were hidden in oil tanks. President Trump failed to mention this because he was a U.S. citizen, and that would not help him get his way.
Now, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley is not respecting the wishes of the Tibbetts family, and has now politicized the murder. Grassley claims that, if we had a wall, this would not have happened. Well, senator, if the farmers had not hired him, he would not be in the area.
What happened to common sense and decency when you can’t respect the wishes of Mollie’s family?
As far as the wall, it may slow them down, but they will find a way. Remember a few years back when they found a tunnel from Mexico to California, south of San Diego?
Word gets back to family and friends across the border, and places where people hire illegal immigrants. The people that hire these people are seldom prosecuted. The cycle starts all over again.

Kirsters Baish| Actress/comedienne Roseanne Barr proved herself in a big way this week after fighting back against one ABC Network executive who insisted that she do away with the Trump themes on her show. Barr made it clear that the Conservatives of America will not be controlled by the media.
Basically, Dungey is saying that there will be no more pro-Trump themed episodes or positive comments on how the Trump administration is doing in the White House.
Obviously Roseanne wasn’t going to sit back and let everything she’s worked for fall by the wayside, so naturally she decided to do something about it.
After the President of ABC made the comment about straying away from politics, Barr decided to release her own statement on the matter. She promised that the sitcom would be “even braver” next season.
don't worry, #Roseanne show fans-next season will be even braver/funnier/timely than this season, despite what anyone mistakenly says.
The show has enjoyed historically high ratings since its return to the airwaves in March, earning an impressive 27 million viewers on its debut, while also managing to maintain the majority of its audience since then.
Part of the rebooted Roseanne’s success may be attributed to its exploration of prominent issues such as Donald Trump’s election to the presidency, the effects of illegal immigration, and perceived bigotry towards Muslims living in the United States.
Clearly Americans weren’t bothered by the pro-Trump themes. The show is doing just fine in the rating department, so maybe Dungey should take a step back and let the people have what they want, and that is the real Roseanne, not some brainwashed version.

I want to begin a new series of posts that give some details about my thought process that led me to renounce traditional Christianity (of which Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, and Orthodox forms are all considered traditional). As I stated in earlier posts, I was raised Roman Catholic and I was a practicing Catholic until my mid 20's. I am now 31 years old, so it was not really that long ago that I stopped having faith in Jesus, the Bible, and Catholic dogma.
Let me begin by saying that I never fully believed everything that I was told to believe. I never fully accepted all of the Catholic dogma. One thing that struck me as odd when I was young, probably elementary school age, is the Catholic obsession with the virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was almost elevated to the level of a god, and this seemed wrong to me. In my household, there was a 5 or 6 year period where my Mom wanted us all to say the rosary regularly. For those who don't know, "saying the rosary" is reciting a set group of prayers with the aid of a beaded necklace, which is, as you might guess, called a rosary. This involves saying 10 Hail Mary's and 1 Our Father in repetition, and occasionally saying other prayers like Glory Be, etc. I couldn't understand why we were supposed to say 10 prayers to Mary and only 1 to God. It got really repetitive too. Really annoying.
Mary was referred to as "Mother of God", yet I understood God as being above all! I did believe at the time that God came to earth in human form as Jesus, but that Mary was only the physical mother of Jesus, not the actual mother of God.
We were told that Mary never sinned. I learned though that the Bible never said anything of the sort. I do not any longer believe that the Bible is true. There is overwhelming evidence that quite a bit of the Bible is false, and that it only has the occasional half-truth, but at the time I did believe that the Bible was true because I had been told this and because I hadn't actually read much of it myself.
And of course Jesus' mother was often referred to as the "Virgin Mary", yet the Bible does not say that Mary was a virgin her whole life. It does say that Mary was a Virgin when Jesus was conceived and later born, but in the Gospels it does refer to Jesus' sisters and brothers, and there are two books of the Bible that are purportedly written by Jesus' brothers. Another interesting thing is that the Bible implies that Jesus was a direct male-line descendant of King David through Joseph. The Bible refers to Joseph as Jesus' father. At the time, I was confused about this, but now I know that Jesus did of course have a father and it was Joseph. Mary was not at all a virgin when Jesus was conceived. Joseph is responsible for that.
Probably the reason why the church wanted to make such a big deal about Mary being a virgin is because of fear of sexuality. They like the concept of motherhood, but fear sexuality so for them the ideal would be a mother who is also a virgin. They like the result, but not the means, even though the means are perfectly natural. The legend of virgin birth may have been inspired by earlier Egyptian myths that were similar. Also it might have started as a misunderstanding of Isaiah's prophecy that a young woman would give birth to the Messiah. In Hebrew, the word for young woman is the same for virgin. I have no reason, though, to believe that Isaiah did anything more than make up his so-called prophecies. I also have no reason to believe that the concept of a messiah actually exists.
I think I will stop for now. In future posts, I will be covering more Catholic concepts such as communion and sainthood and general Christian concepts like the Bible and Jesus.

She has already mapped out how the next four years of her life will go based on all the stories she’d heard. When the time comes, she packs up her things and moves into the dorms. School starts and it is much harder than she expected but she presses on because she cannot let her parents down. She tries to join the same sorority as her mom but it doesn’t feel right. She even begins dating this guy who puts her in the mind of her dad but he doesn’t treat her like her dad does her mom. And on top of that, she’s struggling. She’s been walking in the footprints of her parents and by the time she realizes it isn’t actually what she wants, she’s flunking out of school.
Many times we try to walk in the footprints of those who have paved the way for us instead of understanding that we walk because of their footprints. See, I’ve come to realize that if I try to walk in the same footprints of my mama, I will fall over the same things she did. If I try to walk in the same footprints of grandma, I will stumble where she did. If I try to walk in the same footprints of granddaddy, I will hit the same wall, in the same place he did. Why? Well because we are too busy focusing on stepping in their footprints rather than watching where we are going. This is why our logic of thinking has to change. We are not our mothers, our sisters, our aunties or uncles. We are who we are and we have to walk the path designed for us. Another thing, when we attempt to walk the footprints of someone else, we sometimes set ourselves up to attain something not meant for us. Thus leading to fighting a battle we are not equipped for, walking into places we are not ready for and sitting at tables that cannot cater to our taste. Note, there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking up to those before us but don’t limit yourself to being just like them. Do greater works! We walk, today, because of the footprints of those who marched through the hell of yesterday. They left marks in places ‘they’ said we couldn’t go as a guide. Use them!

Dogs are loyal companions. However, a new dog needs to be trained as soon as you adopt it. You need to train them to ensure good behavior, and take good care of them. This article is packed with tips about owning a dog, so read on.
TIP! Always neuter or spay your pet. Research has shown that by doing this you can be sure your pet can have a longer life and not be at risk for things like cancer.
Take the time to make sure your house is dog-proofed. You need to look for hazards around your home that your dog might run into. Put up all of your cleaning supplies and medications, and be sure you put away any trash cans. Some very common plants are quite toxic to animals, so always make sure they are out of reach.
Know about what could go wrong with flea treatments if you have a dog. A large number of them contain high doses of carcinogens and other hazardous ingredients. Talk with your vet concerning alternative treatments, and do not let small children come near while treating your dog.
TIP! Since humans don’t speak dog, we need to figure out how to communicate with our pets non-verbally. If it seems as though your dog holds back when around other dogs or people, don’t insist that they interact.
Practice training your dog around your home, where you and your pup can be alone. Training in busy areas with lots of people around should be avoided. People will only distract your dog, making it more difficult to train him.
Your vet can give you some good advice on what you should feed your dog. If your puppy is very young, it might not be ready to consume specific brands, and feeding them to your pup can result in sickness. Never give your dog any food you are not sure of.
Try not to buy low quality food for your dog. The cheaper dog foods have tons of additives and preservatives which aren’t the best for your dog. Find a list of recommended dog foods from the vet or an advocate for animals. You will see a difference in your dog’s activity level and general happiness when you feed him “good” food.
TIP! If you are not sure of how much to feed your dog each day, talk to your vet about it. It is important to follow guidelines for the sake of your dog’s health.
You shouldn’t make your dog do something it doesn’t want to do. If your dog doesn’t like a treat you give him, let it go. It’s important to take your pets likes and dislikes into consideration and to not push them into anything unnecessary.
If you are going to get a dog from the shelter, make a appointment with the vet. Shelter dogs may have come into contact with viruses or may be ill already. Make sure the new puppy gets their required shots before going home.
TIP! You don’t want to buy the bargain dog food. Generally, food that is less expensive is not as healthy for your pet due to preservatives and additives put into the food.
Playing music in your home when you leave for your job may help your dog with separation anxiety. The sounds will help your pet feel safer and will make it feel like it’s not alone. When it comes to treating your pet’s anxiety, a little music could be exactly what the doctor ordered.
Know any canine laws that might affect your ownership. Watch local legislation that passes to see how it regulates or restricts the rights and behavior of dog owners. Sometimes, a small number of bad dogs get more publicity than a large number of good dogs. Stand up for good dog owners and let local officials know your thoughts.
Dogs often get cuts from debris or pieces of glass. Wash the cut with antibacterial soap, dry it thoroughly, and leave it to air dry unless it is bleeding or the dog is licking it. If the cut seems very deep, take him to the vet.
TIP! Take your dog outside so that he can get fresh air and exercise. Dogs need routine activity and play in order to stay happy and healthy.
If your dog happens to have an accident in the house, make sure you remove all traces of it. Use a product specifically designed to clean and remove pet odors. If you still smell poop, your dog will too and might strike again.
You can tell about your dog’s health by feeling is nose, but there are other factors, too. Even a sick dog can have a cold, wet nose. Instead, pay attention to how well he is eating and whether or not he seems energetic. These are good indicators for how your dog feels. You can also check the temperature rectally.
TIP! What new laws or regulations concerning pets will affect you? Keep track of local laws which affect dog owners. It is usually indicative of a particular breed or certain owner’s recent actions.
When you’re training, experiment using various reward systems. Try to figure out what your dog needs to do good. If your dog is food driven, try using small pieces of hot dogs as a reward. Maybe your dog will respond better to a game of tug-of-war with a favorite toy. Pet your dog if this is something he enjoys.
TIP! When you are training your dog, don’t have too many people telling your dog what to do. Having multiple people train your dog will only confuse him.
Be a firm person towards your pet. Dog owners think it is alright to bend the rules occasionally This happens even more with really cute dogs! But, by staying firm on the rules, you can avoid issues. In this way, your dog will always know what to expect, and you will not be surprised by unacceptable behaviors.
Your pet must have good hygiene habits the same way you do. While it is not necessary to bathe your dog daily, washing him once a week might be beneficial. This stops skin irritation and shedding.
After reading the above information you know that taking care of dog is not as hard as it may seem. It can be hard at first, but this advice should help you. Take everything that you’ve learned here, and you should have no trouble taking care of your furry friend.

Delays to the implementation of Making Tax Digital were expected, perhaps inevitable, but what does that mean for you and your business?
Among the avalanche of recent Brexit news, there was a Spring Statement that seems to have flown comparatively under the radar. In this statement, there were two things in particular that stood out to us at Moulds & Co.
Firstly, changes to VAT reporting for businesses over the threshold (with income exceeding that of £85,000) will still come into effect from 1st April 2019. Secondly, Making Tax Digital will not be mandated for any new taxes in 2020. This means that the introduction of Making Tax Digital for income tax and corporation tax appears to still be two years away at least.
The government stated that it “remains committed” to Making Tax Digital but, thankfully, Philip Hammond stated that there will be a “light touch” approach to penalties in this first year of implementation. Having seen countless erroneous penalties handed out to businesses in the early days of newly implemented schemes, this is a welcome comment. “Where businesses are doing their best to comply, no filing or record-keeping penalties will be issued” is a statement obviously open to interpretation but will regardless be of some comfort to the ears of many businesses.
As things stand, Making Tax Digital is expected to expand into covering income tax affairs from 2021, however, amid a “cloud of uncertainty” the latest news suggests that this could well be a slow roll-out with more delays to come.
How we can help – Regardless of how this news affects you and your business, it is still wise to be ahead of the game and prepared for any future updates. If you’re unsure whether this update affects your business or if you still aren’t prepared to enter the digital tax era then Moulds & Co Accountants are here to help. To speak to a qualified tax advisor call Moulds & Co today on 01937 584188.

Cliftonville FC has said it will “not shirk its responsibilities” after one of its players convicted of distributing an indecent image of a child.
The North Belfast club dropped striker Jay Donnelly for a league match on Saturday after he admitted the charge. He will be sentenced in January.
In a statement on Saturday evening, the club said it was “acutely aware that a young woman has suffered because of Jay Donnelly’s actions”.
The club added that it feels it has a “duty of care to everyone associated at this moment in time”.
Cliftonville announced on Friday that Donnelly would not play in this weekend’s game against Dungannon Swifts.
Two feminist groups, The Belfast Feminist Network and ‘Reclaim the Night’ had planned to hold a protest at the club, but called it off after it emerged that Donnelly would not be playing.
“We acknowledge there are people both within and without our club calling for immediate action, an understandable reaction to an emotive issue.
“Cliftonville Football Club will not shirk its responsibilities to both our members and the wider community, but we again appeal for this matter to be handled in a measured fashion.

I had finally had it with scrolling back and forth with the Firefox tabs tonight. I am working on a 12″ widescreen laptop monitor, which is far more scrolling than when I’m upstairs on my 22″ widescreen. I was doing theme and plugin searching and finally ended up with over 30 tabs open. That was the last straw, and I wish I’d hit that point 5 months ago.
I did a Google for “firefox tabs multiple rows” and was immediately pointed to the Tab Mix Plus Firefox extension.
Tabs to open next to the one you’re on rather than all the way at the end of the list.
Multiple rows of tabs rather than scrolling.

This feature is present in nearly every established email client. Viewing a message does not mean it was read. The option to not automatically mark a message as read when opening it is crucial.
First I configured the option 'Days to Sync" to 1 month.
--> loading of the folder content takes a long time.
Since I have several accounts, the loading of the combined view really even takes long. In some cases up to 30 seconds!
Could this behavior be explained because Boxer first loads all the messages and only after that is completed it will really show the content?
If that would be the case, I would like to suggest to configure it in such a manor, where e.g. first 100 emails are loaded. And when scolling down more mails are loaded.
I have a single Exchange account set up.
When I click on the notification to open a new email, it takes 9-10 seconds before the email actually shows. Boxer opens immediately, but then it just spins for 10 seconds and then the email will display.
With the same Exchange account in Enhanced Email, I was not experiencing long delays like that.
Very strange. This morning I saw all my emails from my Exchange account. About 30 minutes ago, I'm only seeing one email from July 8. For July 9, I current have 9 emails. For July 8, 51 emails.
As I was writing this, I received a new email. It showed up in the list, but when I clicked on it, Boxer crashed.
And I was writing the line above, I received another new email. It also showed up in the list and the same thing happened where it crashed Boxer. The messages says, "Unfortunately, Boxer has stopped". It has two options, Report or OK.
What more information do need from me to troubleshoot?

What Are Some Features Of The 5 Point Harness Booster Seat For Over 40 Lbs.
So When Should Children Move To A Booster?
When it comes to choosing for your child whether they should just have the singular seatbelt for their booster seat or the five-point harness booster seat, you may wonder what the differences of each of them are. What are some features that make parents choose one or the other? Well, read on to find out. Here, we’ll highlight the features, and what to consider for a child that is over 40 pounds.
A five-point harness is pretty easy to understand, in that it contains five different points of contact on the body. The shoulders, the hips, and the crotch. The purpose of this is to put the child into a position where they’re kept strapped in and protected. In contrast, most other booster seats really just use the lap portion and put it over the child’s hips, which keeps the hips and thighs connected.
The boosters also keep the shoulder aligned with the shoulders, and it allows for children to almost wear the seatbelt just like how most adults do, but with that extra little protection around the hips.
So yes, the five-point harness is tighter, but you can get them in a booster form for children up to a certain point, so it’s not necessarily just a convertible carseat, it allows for more protection so that children don’t end up getting hurt.
The biggest point of a five-point harness carseat that’s a booster, is essentially the five-point seat will restrain the child. Now, this does involve proper installation, but once the child is locked in, the child won’t be able to move out of this position, within reason. It’s not like a straightjacket, but it also prevents the body from wiggling around too much, which does protect them in the event of a crash, which can happen over time if you’re not careful.
If your child wiggles during a crash, it does leave them vulnerable to serious injury. After all, if they fly forward, and their seatbelt isn’t super restrained, you’re going to create a disaster because they will fly forward. There are stories of children hitting windshields, and it’s important to make sure that you do have the right protection for them.
It allows for the child to be less responsible for their movement. They won’t be able to move about as much, and many times, the best way to convert to one of the seatbelt booster seats is really just having a child who is olde enough to take responsibility. This really does depend on the age of the child, meaning that usually, anywhere between 5-7 is when they may get converted from five-point to a booster harness. But, the thing about this, is that it really does depend on the age of the child, and really how the child acts.
The five-point harness isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes not having to worry about your child wiggling about to grab a toy or something, or bothering their sibling is good, but sometimes, the lack of freedom can annoy the child too, so you have to realize that a feature of this is the fact that you’re more in control of the child’s safety, and they don’t have to be as responsible for this.
Usually, the five-point harnesses do work well for children to a certain height and weight point. Usually, they need to be anywhere from 35-40 pounds to be in a five-0point booster seat to start, but the best thing about this, is to wait until they’re ready, since the transitioning can be different. There are a few concerns that some people may have children that submarine, but that’s usually not a terribly huge concern.
The height and weight features are put there in order to protect the child so that they’re not wiggling about and potentially getting hurt.
One other feature of this, is that the straps are super secure, which means that the child won’t be wiggling about. They’re made to keep the child protected, but it also means that they’re made of a material that’s soft, but also secures, so that it doesn’t hurt the child. The purpose for these straps it to make sure that the child is kept in a secured fashion, and you want to make sure that you put these on.
This is another concern for those who are looking to move their child from one to another, or when choosing whether they should get a convertible booster seat, or a regular booster for their kid. The answer, is to keep the kid in the five-point harness for as long as they can, till they outgrow this. The convertible seat to a booster is ultimately one of the better means for children to be kept safe, and once the child has outgrown the carseat, there isn’t any information that proves that the five-point is safer than a booster seat. But, the big thing about a booster seat, is that it needs to be properly used, where the child is mature enough to understand, that hey since they have this extra movement, they need to realize it’s their responsibility. You need to also make sure that the belt is used in the proper position.
The best thing to realize, is that there is no need to move straight to another booster seat immediately, but if the child is near the max height and weight of the carseat in order to ride in the booster, you should keep them in there until they’re ready to handle it in a mature manner.
Five-point booster seats will keep your child safe and secure, and you owe it to yourself to make sure that you provide the safest means for your child to stay secure no matter what, so that they’re able to take on the extra responsibility that this newfound freedom does have to offer.

La Jolla's Salk Institute campus, designed in 1965 by architect Louis Kahn's, is one of the most iconic architectural structures in the world.
The doors to 16 La Jolla buildings will swing open for Open House (OH!) San Diego Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24. Entering its fourth year, the San Diego Architectural Foundation’s tour of 100-plus sites includes La Jolla for the first time as a distinct geographical entity.
The La Jolla sites were chosen by the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) to represent a mix of architectural styles, periods and building uses.
OH! San Diego is affiliated with OH! Worldwide, which presents similar behind-the-scenes events in 42 international cities. In the U.S., only San Diego, New York, Chicago and Atlanta participate.
What follows is a list of the La Jolla sites in alphabetical order. (The information is a mix of Light research and facts provided to OH! San Diego by the current site owners.) Most sites are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24. Admission to all sites is free during the event. However, pre-registration is required to tour the Grande Colonial Hotel and both the Salk and J. Craig Venter institutes.
The oldest cultural institution in La Jolla, this non-profit membership library is housed in three historic Spanish Revival-style buildings joined together, and features stylized arched windows, classical columns at the front portico and an iconic rotunda.
Longtime La Jolla resident Dan McKinney donated $5 million to add 25,000 square feet to La Jolla’s 50-plus-year-old YMCA. It now includes two new swimming pools, a splash pad for water play, a three-story play structure and studio for children, a community space with cafe and an outdoor fitness area.
The Colonial Apartments and Hotel, as it was originally known, is La Jolla’s oldest hotel and was a favorite of Groucho Marx, Charleston Heston and Gregory Peck (whose father once ran the onsite pharmacy). The property includes two designated historic landmarks: the Shepherd-designed Little Hotel by the Sea and the Garden Terraces. The original wood-framed hotel, by architect Richard Requa, was later moved to the rear of the property, where it still operates as part of the hotel today. The four-story main building, designed by Frank Stevenson in 1928, boasted the first fire sprinkler system west of the Mississippi.
Formerly a retail storefront, the IS Architecture building’s two side-by-side storefronts provide employees with a shared open-plan space to collaborate and more private areas to retreat to for focused work. The carefully crafted office design features an eclectic mix of contemporary and historic fixtures, such as a Danish modern light and repurposed Egyptian doors. IS Architecture specializes in historic restoration and custom residential architecture.
The home of the J. Craig Venter Institute laboratory and research facility is a 44,000-square-foot response to the client’s challenge for a building that generates more energy than it consumes. The building contains some of the most innovative water conservation and energy-efficient systems available, and serves as a model for sustainable research buildings worldwide.
The La Jolla Historical Society couldn’t be more appropriately housed than in Wisteria Cottage. Over the years, this Craftsman-style cottage — historically designated in 1982 — has served as a guest house, a school and a bookstore — with additions by master architect Irving Gill. The surrounding garden terraces with cobblestone walls feature the newly installed Venturi Pergola and Garden, while the former house’s interior has been adaptively reused for exhibition space. Despite the Society’s best efforts, however, the cottage’s original architect remains lost to time. It was built for Edith Seaman and her husband, George in 1904 but they only lived here a few months before mysteriously vanishing. The cottage was then acquired by Eliza Virginia Scripps, sister of La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, whom Edith met through their half-sister, Annie Scripps, at an Alameda sanatorium.
Designed specifically as a meeting space for the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA), the architecture’s mid-century modern lines are enhanced by the textural quality of the stacked masonry walls and the glamour of the book-matched polished marble slabs on the front facade. Wide planes of glass, oriented to the entry courtyard, allow for the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, while protecting them from the street.
The La Jolla Rec Center was financed by Ellen Browning Scripps and designed by Irving Gill in 1915.
Originally called the La Jolla Playground and Community House and dedicated to the children of San Diego, the oldest standing rec center west of the Mississippi was conceived of and financed by Ellen Browning Scripps while she lived across the street. Its tilt-up concrete construction — by architect Irving Gill, who rebuilt Ellen’s original wooden house after it burned down in 1915 — was considered innovative for its time and became a hallmark feature of Gill’s work.
For La Jolla’s Pink Lady, architect Reginald Johnson envisioned a Mediterranean palace of pink, adorned with stucco and terracotta tile, overlooking lush, terraced gardens and the ocean beyond. The property’s details include hand-painted ceilings, Spanish-tiled steps and mosaic fountains. Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Greta Garbo stayed here over the years, and La Jollan Raymond Chandler set part of his final novel, “Playback,” in the resort, which he renamed “Hotel Casa del Poniente.” Irving Gill’s adjacent Hotel Cabrillo was integrated into the LaV as its west wing in 1956.
LUCE et Studio’s work spans multiple scales from regional master plans to custom furniture. Located along the Rose Canyon Bike Path, in a tilt-up concrete industrial warehouse structure, the studio encloses two large meeting spaces with 17-foot ceilings, a lounge and a large collaborative workspace.
This industrial gallery space has presented over 250 exhibitions during its 37 years of business. When Mark Quint took it over in 2016, he rebuilt the interiors and transformed the spaces to accommodate his vision for the gallery, which currently consists of seven spaces exhibiting contemporary art by emerging, mid-career and established artists.
Fire Station Engine Company 13 began life as much more than a fire station. Simultaneously, it also housed La Jolla’s first city hall, a police station, a hospital room, and the water department until 1976. The City-designated historical landmark was designed in the Spanish-Mission Revival style for the Works Progress Administration. The building remained unused for about a decade until the YMCA leased it from the City in the ‘80s. The most recent renovation restored the firehouse’s exterior and added modern metallic finishes that contrast with the historical building’s facade.
Ellen Browning Scripps dedicated the bell tower of St. James by-the-Sea to her late sister, Eliza Virginia, with this plaque in 1928.
This is the fourth Scripps-connected site on the tour. Eliza Virginia Scripps was instrumental in the 1909 founding of the first church on this site. (In 1929, it was moved to 627 Genter St., where it still stands today as the La Jolla Christian Fellowship.) In 1928, Ellen Browning Scripps laid the cornerstone of the current bell tower in memory of her sister, who died seven years earlier. Ellen selected Louis Gill as the architect (the nephew of Irving Gill, who rebuilt Ellen’s house after it burned in 1915). Gill drew inspiration for the iconic tower from the Campo Florida church in Mexico City.
The Salk Institute was established in 1960 by Jonas Salk, developer of the first safe and effective polio vaccine. Salk envisioned spacious, unobstructed laboratory spaces that could be adapted to the ever-changing needs of science, with building materials that were simple, strong, durable, and as maintenance-free as possible. The result: two mirror-image six-story structures, constructed of concrete, teak, lead, glass and steel, flanking a grand courtyard. The monumentality of architect Louis Kahn’s vision is particularly felt in the open courtyard of travertine marble, bisected by a ribbon of water which leads your eye to the ocean beyond. In 1992, the Salk building received a 25-Year Award from the American Institute of Architects.
Self-guided tours are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. (Reservations are not required.)Established in 1896, Warwick’s is the oldest family-owned and operated bookstore in the United States. William T. Warwick opened the first Warwick’s in 1896 in Minnesota, moving it to Iowa — along with his wife and two sons — in 1916. Meanwhile, in La Jolla, E.L. Redding and his wife, Genevieve, founded Redding’s Book Store on Cave Street in 1902. In 1921, they relocated it to 7816 Girard Ave. After E.L. died in 1934, Genevieve operated Redding’s on her own. In 1939, William (who had a sister living in La Jolla) purchased Redding’s from Genevieve and renamed it Warwick’s. (The two later married.) In 1944, a rent dispute sparked a move to 1038 Wall St. (now part of the building that houses Whisknladle). In 1950, the store was passed down to Charles Warwick and his wife, Louise, who moved it back to its current — and approximate original — location. The third generation took over in 1964: Charles’ son, Bob, and his wife Marian. In 1976, they doubled the store’s size by acquiring the adjacent space previously occupied by Burriston’s Shoes. The couple’s daughter, Nancy, grabbed the baton in 2001 and still runs with it.

We are almost at the fourth anniversary of the Swachh Bharat Mission, which makes this an opportune time to look at what makes it tick. The numbers speak for themselves, including the unprecedented increase in toilet coverage, and the resultant health and financial gains. Sanitation coverage in rural India increased from 38 per cent in 2014 to over 92 per cent in 2018 and 8.5 crore toilets have been constructed in rural India since the Mission began. Usage of toilets as per a recent, large-scale survey under the World Bank support project is also above 90 per cent. More than 4.5 lakh villages and over 450 districts have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF).
These notable achievements of the Mission are expected to result in significant health, economic and social benefits. As per a recent WHO report, it is estimated that SBM will account for over 3 lakh avoided diarrhoeal deaths by the time India becomes free from open defecation – a milestone not too far from us today. UNICEF (2017) has estimated that each family in an ODF village in India saves Rs 50,000 per year on account of avoided medical costs, less sick days and value of lives saved.
While India has had schemes for sanitation for decades now, Swachh Bharat has surged ahead due to reasons that make the Mission unique. Primary among these is the strong political will and inspiring leadership behind the programme, with the Prime Minister of the country championing the cause at national and international levels. Swachh Bharat Mission has always found references in his monthly Mann ki Baat addresses and other public speeches, inspiring the masses to be part of this Jan Andolan. It is his personal drive towards this Mission that has further encouraged other senior political leaders including Union Ministers, State CMs, MPs, MLAs to spread the message of Swachhata in their region. Subsequently, government officers have put the sanitation agenda on priority.
The Mission’s emphasis on behaviour change, and focus on outputs rather than outcomes also makes it stand ahead of its previous counterparts, which focussed primarily on the construction of toilets and bathrooms, mistakenly assuming use of toilets as a given. The Swachh Bharat Mission has followed the demand-driven approach as opposed to the supply-driven outlook.
The Swachh Bharat Mission also focuses heavily on measuring outputs in terms of monitoring progress of ODF villages and districts. The guidelines for declaring a village and district ODF are well-defined and communicated to all States. Villages declared ODF are verified within three months of a declaration by block and district officials. More than 80 per cent of villages declared ODF has been verified successfully. In case of any gaps identified during verification, block officials are informed and asked to take corrective measures in a timely manner. Even toilets constructed are to be geotagged mandatorily so as to ensure the quality and usage of toilets. Verification and geotagging are also linked to funding release of funds to States so as to safeguard against slippages in verification and geotagging protocols. Technology is also being used heavily for capacity building at scale through virtual learning and a master trainer ecosystem.
The Government of India has launched the Aspirational Districts programme to improve the socio-economic conditions in 117 backward districts in the country. The programme, led by NITI Aayog, focuses on five key themes including water and sanitation infrastructure. All themes these have a direct bearing on the quality of life and economic productivity of citizens. Swachh Bharat Mission has been able to deliver successfully deliver in these challenging districts as well. The rural sanitation coverage in these districts is almost at par with the national sanitation coverage, which speaks volumes about the program’s overarching impact across the entire nation.
Based on the current rate of progress, the entire country will achieve ODF status well before the end of the programme. Unfair criticisms notwithstanding, a fair question to ask is, what next? The country has once experienced the pitfalls of considering sanitation a one-time exercise. Many villages in the country were handed Nirmal Gram Puraskars with great fanfare a few years back. Yet, a few years down the line, it was found that many of these had slipped back to old ways. The country was littered with dysfunctional toilets which the government had built, but the people had not used. To ensure the sustainability of the programme, the SBM guidelines incentivise on-ground Swachhagrahis to continue their door-to-door messaging, regular verifications and early morning nigrani visits to open defecation hotspots in the village long after it has been declared ODF. A long-term strategy is also being developed by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation to ensure that the gains made will be sustained and also to transition from ODF to ODF Plus.
Lately, I have been reading a few articles poking holes in the success of the Mission. To all the friends writing these pieces, for a massive developmental programme being implemented at this large-scale, there are bound to be gaps in isolated cases. The responsibility of the fourth pillar of democracy is to highlight these gaps in a productive manner to help the government address them. To those criticising the drive based on isolated incidents, without sound evidence, I say, reflected glory is a powerful driving force. And nothing gives you access to reflected glory in our times than criticising the most successful sanitation programme in the history of not just our country, but the world.

The S&P 500 is down about 3.7% year-to-date as of market open on Dec. 17, 2018. Market analysts have begun to very vocally sound the alarm about the possibility of a bear market — but if you listen close enough, you'll also hear whispers about a looming recession. There are certainly ways that investors can protect themselves against potential losses in the event of a market downturn. Still, market capitulation, or the phenomenon in which investors give up earlier gains when they sell off their positions out of panic, remains a real possibility. To make matters worse, it could be some of the biggest players in the financial world — hedge funds — who end up leading the trend.
Where Do Hedge Funds Piece Into a Market Sell-Off?
Hedge funds could contribute to a prolonged stock sell-off into the future. According to a recent report by Bloomberg, Sundial Capital Research found that hedge funds as a group bought heavily into American equities, and moreover that many of these funds are still quite strongly invested in U.S. names. Specifically, the report notes, long-short equity hedge fund exposure to the S&P 500 Index has dropped significantly from its high several weeks back in October, but it remains above comparable market lows in the past decade or so.
Sundial Capital Research president Jason Goepfert suggests that, while "hedge funds are fleeing stocks," they're not doing so quickly enough. Goepfert adds that hedge fund "returns are still showing consistently positive correlations to movements in the S&P 500, suggesting they haven't reduced their exposure much despite the volatility."
Is It Still Too Soon to Tell?
Hedge funds have taken approaches ranging from cautious to innovative in recent years, as many players have faced significant barriers to generating positive returns. The group of funds faced its worst year since 2011, and hedge fund managers have only recently started to return to stocks in a significant way, reflected in the increased risk appetite marked by a boost to gross leverage across the hedge fund industry, per the report. All told, hedge funds reached a record high exposure to the S&P 500 in September.
U.S. stocks have fallen, in some cases precipitously, in the past several weeks and for a variety of reasons: increased skepticism about growth outlook, prolonged trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and anxiety over other geopolitical concerns. It may be difficult to say for the time being how hedge funds have reacted to the shift in S&P fortunes, as comprehensive data about fund equities holdings will not be available until after the conclusion of the quarter.
Some analysts believe that market capitulation is a sign that a downturn has reached its lowest point. When sellers give up on their holdings, opportunistic buyers see the chance to buy up stakes at bargain prices. From another perspective, though, the longer that hedge funds hold equities, the lengthier the downturn is likely to be. Still, a Nov. 30 report by Institutional Investor notes that fund managers including Daniel Loeb of Third Point and David Tepper of Appaloosa Management have trimmed their equities exposure in 2018 by a sizable margin (in Tepper's case, by about $3 billion, or a third of his fund's total equities portfolio value). Whether funds like these have more room and desire to sell or not will likely have an impact on the future of everyday investors as well.

Decorating an apartment could be difficult due to the lack of space available. In a small space — every item counts. From paint color and curtains to furniture, mirrors and rugs, decorating in tight quarters requires a well-thought out plan. Make the most of your small space by utilizing the tips below.
Optimize space using furniture that can serve multiple purposes. Choose a dining set that can double as an office space, coffee table or work bench. Or, to keep the area open between meal times, use a chic folding table. It will create a cozy cafe feeling when in use, but has the flexibility to allow you to close up shop when the space is needed for something else. For extra seating, use ottomans that store items.
Tip: Furniture with raised legs can create a sense of light and space, which will open up a room and help it seem larger.
Light, patterns, layout and color all contribute to how large, or small your room appears. Visually manipulate the space using mirrors. Mount several small, decorative wall mirrors in a cluster over a wide area or opt for a large modern mirror to make a statement. Choose a focal point in your room then angle mirrors toward it. Reflecting both natural and artificial light, the mirrors will give the illusion of depth and help the room appear larger.
Tip: Using soft patterned or plain rugs creates a single, unified effect and can visually expand a room.
Light will play a large part in determining the perceived size of the room. Dark colors appear heavy and can make a room look small while light, bright colors can neutralize a room and help it appear larger.
Use light and color to your advantage. Several lamps instead of one, high-voltage ceiling light, will illuminate the room without creating harsh shadows in the corners. Grommet curtains can let light in during the day and still provide privacy at night. If decorating with dark wood or deep browns and blacks, use metallics to brighten the area. A rococo-style mirror in gold or silver not only adds complementary color but if angled right can reflect light, which can make the room appear larger.
Tip: If you have large windows, open your shades and let views from the outside world help expand the look of your inside abode.
Several large pieces of furniture will make the room look cramped, but without them — where will you keep all of your belongings? Bhg.com suggests using your walls to store more. Built-in wall units keep bulky furniture at bay, and, with the help of baskets and decorative boxes, provide a place to store and display magazines, photo albums, keepsakes and more.
If space allows, create a kitchen nook with built-in benches. You’ll have a place to stretch out on while reading the morning paper and the seat can store place mats, dishes and recipe books.
Tip: With proper storage and organization, rooms will appear less cluttered — therefore, less small.
Small can be dramatic — create a look that says you chose the small space on purpose. To do this, play with scale. One large statement piece, such as a gawky fireplace, overstuffed couch or high wingback bench, paired with smaller, complementary items can utilize the space in a dynamic way.
Tip: Avoid unnecessary details that will bog down the room and make it appear busy.
