When My Mother-in-Law Sews a Quilt

When my mother-in-law sews a quilt, she first reflects on the pattern she wishes to create and the picture she wants to portray. She uses the thread to mark where she’s been, and the needles to signal where she’s going. The batting to fill the edges and the embroidery for the design. When I first met her, she wasn’t yet my mother-in-law but the mother of my boyfriend, who planned a nervous proposal on our first trip home. As we disembarked from the terminal and separated ourselves from fellow w

The history behind celebrating small business week

There are a lot of holidays that we celebrate in the United States, and most of them make some impact for business owners.

My Dad Could Fly: A Captain’s Journey

Michael Carrigan saw something in the sky that turned a small-town Southern boy who always had both feet firmly on the ground into the captain of a 300-ton flying machine. My father was born in Burlington, Kentucky, a rural backwater known more for horse breeding and antiques than jet pilots. He grew up surrounded by trees, tobacco farms (“one bite of one of them tobacco leaves and you wouldn’t make it to the hospital”) and loneliness. It’s hard to make friends with neighbor kids when there are

From knitting to binge-watching, what has your state been up to during lockdown? All dressed up with nowhere to go. That seems to be the situation most people are in during COVID-19.

Your Country’s Most Popular Female Superhero

The world is showing the love for HER in SUPERHEROES For a long time, we lived in a world that consisted of the might of Superman, the bravery of Batman, and the genius of Iron Man. But in recent years we’ve begun to see some new faces on the silver screen. Wonder Woman inspired us with her rope of truth, Supergirl blazed into our lives straight from Krypton, and characters such as X-Men’s Storm lit up the sky—and our imagination.

Most Searched ’90s Movies: International Edition - FrontierBundles Blog

Even though it’s been over three decades since we were in the 1990s, people still embrace that life is like a box of chocolates (you never know what you’re going to get), that your heart will go on, and raptors are “clever girls.” If you get these movie references, you may be a fan of that era’s biggest blockbusters. Think you’re alone in your love of ’90s movies? Well, the answer to that is a resounding no, because when it comes to VHS entertainment, these films are still the King of the Wo

The Ultimate Guide to Watching Stephen King Movies on DISH

The Ultimate Guide to Watching Stephen King Movies on DISH There’s an unspoken rule that after taking a solo trip to the basement and turning off the light, you must flee up the stairs before the unwelcome monster lurking in the shadows gets you. Who—or what—is responsible for cementing that quiet fear in all of us? One might say Pennywise or Wendigo (who made its Hollywood debut earlier this year with the remake of Pet Sematary), but the answer lies with the horror “King” himself. Stephen Kin

Overcoming a decades-long battle with UTIs

This is a guest post by Casey Shull, a Uqora customer. It was well past midnight when I woke up with the urge to go. I climbed out of bed and zombie-walked my way to the bathroom. Without flipping on the light, I sat down to relieve myself. Before I had even reached midstream I knew something was wrong. The all too familiar pain, followed by the smell, and then burning afterwards. I had yet another UTI. I popped a few OTC Pyridium and hoped the InstaCare wasn’t crowded in the morning. My sa

How to Encourage Employee Engagement in Remote Workers

“Out of sight, out of mind,” is a phrase you might use to assure yourself when the long-legged spider that was perched in the corner of your shower a few minutes ago has disappeared, and you hope it took advantage of the open window and fled the premises, rather than taking refuge in your polished work shoes. It could also be applied to the chef who didn’t realize until too late that they accidentally smothered a lemon-basted salmon, cooked to perfection, in ketchup rather than tartar sauce and

Top Five Remote Employee Motivation Problems

Motivation can sometimes be a hard characteristic to come by. You’d hope that the company you just ordered your new pair of matching his-and-her lederhosen would be motivated to send them to you in a timely manner. You’d hope that your dentist would be motivated to not find any cavities. And you’d like to feel confident that after thinly-veiled threats your neighbor would be motivated to stop feeding your cat bologna.

7 Life-Saving Tips About Stroke Prevention

These days, heart health and stroke prevention are on the minds of more than just the AARP cohort. Studies have made it clear that heart issues and stroke cross generational boundaries. Since 1995, stroke-related hospital visits have doubled for men in the 18-44 age bracket and risen as much as 44 percent in the 45-54 age bracket. What’s more, the sudden death of Luke Perry, who was only 52 when he died of a stroke recently, has made many people question their own vulnerability and ask, “What ca

With the influx of worldwide team members, language barriers can create a problem.

Telepresence Robots Are Making Waves in Remote Work

The technological climate of the world today has often made people wonder, should we be threatened by our robotic advancements? Indeed many people have publicly stated that they fear mankind will soon be overthrown by the very robots we’ve built. Siri is often accused of being self-aware and only pretending to be a helpful, but more or less troublesome, virtual assistant. Just the other day, my friend was worried she heard something under her bed and rather than go look herself, she taped a knif
