Sweepstakes: Organize Your Chaos and Enter to Win an Omni Gift Card
Raise your hand if you've ever moved. Now raise your hand if it's ever been an easy process. No one? We thought so. During a cross-country move, #Levo100entrepreneur Tom McLeod wondered why no one has come up with a convenient way to store our stuff, especially since #Millennials are city-hopping all over the place these days. He came up with Omni, an on-demand service concierge that not only takes care of the hassle of storage, but lets you access your belongings and retrieve them on demand. Omni is giving EIGHT lucky winners a $25 gift card to bring order to the chaos that is storage. (Note: Omni is only available in San Francisco at this time, so keep that in mind!)

Dear Stjepan,

Our Lady of Good Success appeared to Mother Mariana of Jesus, a nun of the Conceptionist Order in Quito, Ecuador during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Her prophecies correspond with the sad state of affairs the world is in today.
However, she gives us the assurance that, “when [evil] seems triumphant and when authority abuses its power, committing all manner of injustice and oppressing the weak, their ruin shall be near. They will fall and crash to the ground.”
I trust you will find her words very meaningful and will find hope, assurances and consolation in this article: 
Until next time, I remain

Sincerely yours,


John Horvat

The Daily Dot
We had a quiet weekend over here at the Daily Dot, dear readers, the only real upheaval being the news of the Colorado teen sexting ring, which, what?! At least 100 students were involved and could face child pornography charges, so despite the humor of the term "teen sexting ring," the situation could become very serious for the kids involved. 
Though, I suppose, there was also the news of the UFO over California, which, for better or for worse, ended up being nothing more than a Navy military test. Then again, isn't that what they always say? Only time will tell... :P -  Angela Lashbrook
