A month after her big sister Jana revealed that she's remodeled their parents' bedroom, Jessa Duggar has given her own hope a bit of a makeover. The 26-year-old reality star and mother-of-two wrote on Instagram that she decided to go for a more 'minimalist' look in the house she shares with husband Ben Seewald, 23. With the transformation finished in the master bedroom and living room, the Counting On star share before and after pictures of her work. 'Here's a little glimpse into a Seewald home project that was completed recently,' she wrote on March 29. 'Decided on a whim that I wanted to become more of a minimalist.' She said she repainted her living room, which started as a light green and is benefits now a light gray shade called Revere Pewter. That was a bit of project, which she seems to have done all by herself while her husband was at a late night meeting. She said she went to Lowe's with her sons, three-year-old Spurgeon and two-yea...

Sometimes you just need to refresh your environment to feel better. I love my house that was built in 1978 but when I would go into the kitchen I felt like I was surrounded by too much "80's Oak". Time to freshen up! It all started when my oven/range went out. It was a drop in model and kept beeping and beeping and beeping....it was hard wired and I could not get it to stop. I decided to add a plug with my new range so that if that happened again I could unplug it. I didn't realize that ranges are different sizes. I never thought about it and thought they were pretty much all a standard size. Nope, the slide in that I bought was one inch wider than the drop in had been. clamp What to do? I decided to cut a half inch off each side of the cabinets, counter top, etc....to make it fit. Hey, I never said I make the best decisions! I learned a valuable lesson about measuring before buying. I won't make that mistake again. I am certainly no professional in home ...

My Story of Acne Through My Life I got complimented on my skin today. It completely took me by surpise because I have never been complimented on my skin. I have been complimented on my eyes, ambition, and style. But, never my skin. Since I was in 7th grade, I have been plagued with those bumps on my face. They take on many forms and go by many names including pimples, zits, boils, spots, breakout, cysts, and my least favorite: acne vulgaris (the name just sounds horrible!). I lamps have been through many dermatologists, each one striking both my ego and my wallet. It was humiliating sitting in front of each one as they crinkled up their nose studying the one thing I spent 30 minutes that morning trying to hide. They would prescribe it all: antibiotics, face creams, gels, Accutane, and soaps. I dreaded my follow up appointments even worse than my initial appointments. I knew they would be disappointed in my progress and make a snide remark doubting I was following their regimen,...

To say that today's business environment is becoming increasingly more global is to state the obvious. Meetings, phone calls and conferences are held all over the world and attendees can come from any point on the globe. On any given business day you can find yourself dealing face-to-face, over the phone, by e-mail and, on rare occasions, by pos tal letter with people whose customs and cultures differ your own. You may never have to leave home to interact on an international level.While the old adage "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" still holds true, business clients and colleagues who are visiting this country should be treated with sensitivity and with an awareness of their unique culture. Not to do your homework and put your best international foot forward can cost you relationships and future business. One small misstep such as using first names inappropriately, not observing the rules of timing or sending the wrong color flower in the welcome bouquet can be ...

One of Judd Finkelstein's favorite things about being a winemaker athis family's Napa Valley winery is getting his hands dirty, whetherthat means picking the grapes, punching down the cap or working withthe barrels. But being a winemaker these days doesn't always meanattentively tending to a vineyard -- or even being in the same statewhere your wine is produced . In addition to Judd's Hill Winery , which produces fewer than 3,000 cases of wine per year, the Finkelstein family also owns Judd's Hill MicroCrush ,a custom crush facility that helps about 100 clients make their ownwine. They'll do everything, including sourcing the grapes from NapaValley vineyards, designing the label and bottling the vintage. In fact, Finkelstein says some longtime clients have nevervisited the winery . But he also has a client from North Carolina who'llfly to California with 48 hours' notice during harvest season, arrivingin the "pre-dawn darkness with train pi...

Internet of Things has become one of the critical workloads to run in the public cloud. Especially, enterprises from the manufacturing, healthcare and automobile industries are betting big on IoT PaaS offerings from the public vendors. Here are ten trends that reflect the current state of enterprise IoT PaaS: 1. Data is the biggest driver for IoT deployments Customers are adopting cloud-based IoT because of the rich data platform services that complement the core IoT services. Data ingestion, transformation, data storage, processing, analysis and integration with 3rd party databases are the key capabilities of these data platforms. Mature IoT platforms offer real-time stream analytics powered by Apache Spark and batch processing based on Apache Hadoop. This seamless integration between device management and data platforms makes public cloud IoT services attractive for enterprises. 2. IoT solution development is getting complex IoT adoption is experiencing tremendous growth, and s...
