Here is what you need to know about the upcoming Family Bible Church Barn Dance and also a way we can support the Rescue Mission’s Gobbler Gathering by collecting canned peas. First, the barn dance. It will be on November 14th at the church building starting with food at 5pm. Square dancing will follow around 6pm. We have an official square dance caller coming to direct the dancing, so be sure to dress the part and find yourself a partner! The dancing and food will be inside. A hay ride and a fire will be outside. The men’s ministry has an opportunity to serve the rest of the family by men bringing their best chili/soup. There will even be a competition for the best one. Whoever plans on bringing a chili/soup needs to let either Ken Hansen or Keith Findley know so that an accurate amount of food is provided. Please contact us if you need to get in touch with them but do not have their contact info. Everyone please bring your own drinks and a side or dessert to share. Now, the canned peas. The Evansville Rescue Mission has served those in need by supplying a Thanksgiving meal each year. We can take part in serving by collecting canned peas for the distribution. We need to collect 500 cans of peas as a church! Bring your cans to the church building by November 16.

Facility Sponsored Workshops are where we come to your facility, or a facility provided by you, and present a workshop. The workshop can be our standard workshop, or a workshop customized especially for your facility. We often do district training for preschool/pre-k through first grade teachers, occupational therapists and special education teachers. We also do workshops for 2nd/3rd grade teachers for older kids legibility techniques in their classroom. A facility sponsored workshop can be a cost effective way for districts or therapy clinics to provide training if our workshops are not in your location during the upcoming year.

Thousands of pets have been displaced by Hurricane Sandy...I am sure by now that you have seen the pictures of the horrific conditions in NYC and in New Jersey. That very well could have been us; you just never know when and where something like this will happen! As a disaster volunteer myself, I have seen what this type of disaster can do to people emotionally, and (as you can imagine) the most important thing to most of those affected is the safety of their loved ones; including their pets. Photos like this just bring tears to my eyes. It tugs at my heart, imagining that something like this could happen to our precious pooches. So...what do we do about it? Well, thanks to a contact that we have with the staff of Brooklyn Bark in NYC, there are a couple of things we can do! As they told us, "Too many people evacuated during Sandy have lost their homes and are facing uncertainty. Some short term situations that become available will not necessarily be pet friendly. To give these people the flexibility they may need in rebuilding their lives, we are seeking foster homes. This need is going to be continuing as evacuees move out of shelters into temporary situations over the next few weeks." Gemini Dogs has already offered to assist the displaced doggies by fostering any of them who need a place to stay, and we have offered to drive down to NYC and pick them up as needed. Brooklyn Bark is also collecting items that are needed for the animals that are currently in temporary emergency shelters, and you can help by donating the following items: Any Type of Unopened Dog or Cat Food Any Type of Dog or Cat Treats New or Gently Used Collars, Leashes, Crates, Carriers New or Gently Used Bedding or Towels New Toys of Any Type You can bring your donations to Gemini Dogs anytime, and we will drive them down to NYC, where they can be distributed to the affected animals who desperately need them. After disasters like this, it is sometimes weeks and months before the people can get back to some sense of normalcy. Our thoughts are with all of the pet owners who are still searching for their companions, and we are thankful for those who escaped Sandy's path.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUILD A BUSINESS THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE AND THOSE OF YOUR CLIENTS & CUSTOMERS? WOULD YOU LIKE TO CREATE RAVING FANS AND LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES SO THAT YOUR BUSINESS FILLS BY WORD-OF-MOUTH ALONE? Then you are in the right place. You see, building *community is an exceptionally powerful way to take your business to the next level because there is nothing more powerful than creating raving fans: • When you create events that have a massive impact, your participants will never stop talking about you. It’s the platinum standard for building a business: word-of-mouth. • When you build a community of people who love your work, your content and your vision you’ll discover there’s a way to do marketing that’s so deeply authentic to who you are that you never need to market yourself again. • When you build a community of true fans they will purchase anything and everything you create. They will fly hundreds of miles to hear you speak. They will read every article you write, or post you put on facebook. They can’t wait till you issue your next work. They are true fans. • The real power of creating extraordinary events and building an amazing community is that your people will build your business in three ways: (i) they will purchase more per person, (ii) they will come back time and time again, and (iii) they will support you by sharing your body of work with their friends and colleagues. So you will spend less money on marketing and more on creating incredible experiences. That’s right: you’ll build your business doing what you love! YOU? • You are a coach or a consultant who’s tired of the latest internet marketing fads. They never worked for you anyway, right? • You are an entrepreneur or business owner who wants to run a healthy business but sometimes you struggle to create clients, make money and work well with others… • You are creative, inspired and innovative and you thrive on solving problems but how do you let your authentic self shine through in the business world? • You lead an organization or a department in a corporation and you want to build a stronger, more connected team… • You’re a leader who wants to tap deeply into your authentic voice to create a powerful vision and inspired followers… ME? Well, I am the Co-Founder of Authentic World and I have spent the past decade facilitating extraordinary events and building incredible community. It’s my zone of genius. I’ve introduced Authentic Relating & Integral Circling to top Thought Leaders and world-class organizations. I’ve facilitated breakout sessions at the Wisdom 2.0 conference, I’ve consulted for billion dollar companies such as Genentech and I have been a key member of Rich Litvin’s Intensive Leadership team for two years. In fact, I’ve been teaching, facilitating, and (most importantly) practicing authentic relating & building deep community for the last fifteen years. I never stop learning and I’m a mom to two extraordinary children, who are far & away my greatest and most humbling teachers. I am quirky and I’m unorthodox. I am more comfortable facilitating a room of 100 people than I am having a 1:1 conversation with someone I don’t know at a social event. I used to struggle enormously with social anxiety. Now I just practice being comfortable with being uncomfortable. US? I have a few spots each year for coaching and consulting clients. While the ways that we work together are tailor-made for you, how we work together usually has 6 elements: 1. VISIONING: We begin with you and me spending 90 minutes in conversation (by phone or in person). I’ll draw out from you the kind of life-changing impact you want to create. We’ll create a powerful vision for the future, from a small-group mastermind to a large impact event with hundreds of participants. 2. STRATEGY: I’ll help you create a range of deeply connected experiences. I’ll help you build community, one relationship at a time. I’ll help you create a plan and a strategy so that day by day you know how best to show up to create the life and the business you desire. 3. MINDSET: I’ll help you handle your limiting beliefs. I’ll help you become comfortable in feeling uncomfortable. I’ll help you master your mindset to bring out your authentic power. 4. SKILLSET: I’ll help you build the skills to work with small groups and with large groups. I’ll help you feel comfortable on a stage. I’ll help you express your own authentic genius. 5. ENVIRONMENT: I’ll help you create an environment that supports you or develops your workshop leaders or corporate consultants. I’ll support you in creating exercises and experience to facilitate for maximum impact. 6. COMMUNITY: I’ll help you develop your community – whether that’s within your corporation or it’s the true fans who buy your products and attend your events, again and again and again. What does this look like? That depends. * You could apply for 1:1 consulting (from 3-12 months at a time). From $7,700+ * You could apply for for 1:1 coaching (from 3-6 months at a time). From $5,300+ * You could apply to join my Group Coaching program (only 7 spots available). $2,500 * I also help create and lead tailor-made events – by application only YOUR NEXT STEP? Answer these 5 questions and I’ll be in touch with an article or a book for you, a referral, or if there’s a way I can support you, we’ll schedule a powerful conversation. Name(required) Email(required) 1. If you were to look back in one years time & say, “Holy sh*t! Working with Kendra was the turning point that changed everything.” What has to have happened -personally & professionally- for you to feel totally thrilled with the progress you’ve made?
(Get specific: What are you doing? Who else is there? What does your life actually look like? How do you feel?)(required) 2. What is your Secret Dream? The one you barely dare to whisper? The one that seems impossible? But, if you were to achieve it, would change everything?(required) 3. What is the One Thing you could do today to bring you one step closer to that Dream? 4. What are your Secret Superpowers? aka Your Zone of Genius? aka The things you do so well & come so naturally, they don’t even occur as skills to you? 5. What is something that would surprise me about you? There is an important caution Not every coach or entrepreneur is cut out – or willing – to create an incredible *community. Many just want to sell a product or coach a client and they don’t want to deal with a growing community. That’s ok if this is not for you. It takes a deeply authentic person with a desire to play full out to build a business and a community in the way that I teach.

Remote work seems to be the new normal these days. Indeed, a high percentage of jobs – 50 percent of 125 million full-time jobs in America – can be performed remotely as of the start of this year. This presents a unique situation for businesses: coordinating a business team remotely can be a challenge for managers and employees alike. So, what are the best ways to coordinate a business team remotely? Here are a few ideas on how to keep a remote business team productively working together. Assess The Situation Transitioning a business team to remote work may seem like a relatively simple task – given today’s advanced nature of telephone, email, and mobile work communication tools. But this does not account for other elements of remote work, such as time zones, coordinating business meetings, and the unique circumstances of performing work at home. If you are a manager, for example, you may want to consider the peak working hours of your employees. For example, do your employees work best during the morning hours or in the afternoon? Are your employees in a single time zone – or are they located all over the world? Assessing the situation can help you determine the best times to get in touch with your team, set assignments and deadlines, and evaluate their productivity. Similarly, if your employees are not as productive at certain hours – in relation to the other members of your team – you can distribute workloads accordingly. This will make it possible for your employees to have a respectful work/life balance that allows for rest and at-home circumstances – one that can also optimize your team’s performance. Prioritize Communication In terms of remote work, communication is essential and should be considered a top priority. As a manager, you should encourage your team to communicate frequently. You also may want to practice daily scheduled check-ins with your employees. This is a good way to ask your workers how their work is going, if they need any more resources or tools to complete it, and if they are having any current work issues. If you are an employee, effective communication with your colleagues is essential. You might want to prioritize your work issues and decide whether calling or emailing a co-worker is the better option. Keep your communications frequent, but also make sure they are brief and to-the-point. Make the Most of New Technologies Remote work today goes beyond video conferencing — there are now remote-friendly applications that can schedule meetings, set deadlines, and foster group interactions. There are also technologies that allow your time to work collaboratively in real-time. Determine which programs your team will need, and make sure they understand how to use them. If you are a manager, establish rules of engagement (ROE) for group interactions and work collaboration – this will keep your team safe, comfortable, and productive when using this software. Through situational assessment, frequent communication, and standardized technology use — you will be able to manage a remote business team with effective and productive coordination.

The third in this category of blog entries, this describes the few TV shows I have been watching lately. The previous entry can be found here. House MD is a doctors show. A bit more interesting than E.R. and Grey's Anatomy because they actually focused on interesting characters and interesting medicine. However, after three seasons, the quirky intelligent doctor is just annoying, the supporting cast makes no sense and the medicine is becoming a joke. It's never lupus! Prison Break is the new Lost. It had an interesting premise and I admit I watched it with pleasure for about a season and a half. Then it all went haywire. I predicted it, too... When people recommended the show I said "How the hell can you keep a prison break for 3 seasons?"; and the answer is that you can't. Not without bringing in mysterious government secret agencies with hidden and malevolent agendas. As acting goes, I like Dominic Purcell, interpreting the older brother, but I can't seem to see him in any decent show. You may remember him from John Doe, another clicheatic TV dead end. Also in the list: Numb3rs, even if the math has gone sour already and the show has basically turned into another pure police show. (good versus bad silliness) Stargate Atlantis, which will probably end with this season without any other decent sci fi to replace it. Battlestar Galactica, which was great, but moving towards boredom. Regenesis probably won't get another season after season 3. It was never a great show, but it was decent, being Canadian and all :), with a bunch of virus hunters. It could have been a lot more scientific. Grey's Anatomy is still on the market for my wife, but barely. A doctor show, but now it is very little about medicine and a lot about the human side of the characters; and who the hell wants a movie about people, completely overlooking the cool stuff happening near them? Private Practice is an off shoot of Grey's Anatomy, but we never even started watching it. Ugly Betty still sucks enormously and the wife still watches it. Eureka. The second season waits on my harddrive, cobwebs on each file. Maybe if I am really bored... Desperate Housewives takes the desperation way too far, probably reflecting the feelings of the screenwriters when watching the audience numbers fall.

If you’re still working from home for even a portion of your week, now might be the time to reconsider your space and how to optimize it for the long-term as the world moves increasingly toward remote work. A home office should be a professional space where you can work with focus and with as few interruptions as possible. Many research studies have been conducted, and articles and books have been written about the benefits of attaining a flow state. But offices need to be set up with more than just uninterrupted blocks of time in mind. Video calls need to look and sound good, you need to be comfortable, and you need to be able to perform a variety of tasks over time. In short: don’t sacrifice professionalism just because you’re at home. The below guide will cover a few major areas to consider when setting up a home office for optimal remote work. Silence Is Golden No one can work when the world is full of distractions, so let’s start by discussing the value of a quiet workspace. Find A Quiet Space It may seem simple, but work where you are least likely to be disturbed in the house. A cozy nook under the stairs might look office-worthy, but if you have people coming in and out, phones ringing, dog paws constantly overhead, and children running up or down, you might be better off partitioning off another space away from foot traffic like your bedroom. Minimize Background Noise I don’t know how many Zoom calls I’ve been on where the person on the other end apologizes for their landscaper or trash truck making a ton of noise outside. If possible, choose an interior space to avoid outdoor noises. There are obvious (lighting) downfalls to that approach. Instead, consider double-glazed space to reduce outdoor noise. Close the door, add sound-proofing, find a space and otherwise reduce the amount of noise that gets into your home office from outside it. Use Dedicated Spaces Don’t try to work in the living room, dining room, utility room, or other noisy space. Your home office should ideally have a closing door or at least a partition. If this really isn’t possible, use a bookcase, use a curtain, or do anything else to separate the space and dampen ambient sound. This partition will also help your brain recognize it as a workspace, as well as encouraging family members to do the same. A guest room, garden room, or even a porch can serve as an office if necessary. Use Noise-Canceling Headphones If you can’t cut out other noises, invest in a pair of good noise-canceling headphones. This will improve the quality of voice calls you do and help to get rid of distracting noises outside the office space. Remove Distractions It may seem obvious, but our home offices shouldn’t have TVs in them. If you need to use your smartphone, utilize a work mode, get rid of distracting apps, and avoid the urge to check your favorite websites at all times. Just because your boss won’t be popping over your shoulder soon doesn’t mean you can waste time on non-work activities; your productivity will plummet. Communication Is Key Assuming you communicate with clients or coworkers, you should place an emphasis on making communication easy. Video and voice calls can be very frustrating (for the recipient) if the equipment and quality isn’t up to par. On the whole, a good microphone is the most important thing to invest in. This will ensure people can hear you clearly. You should also try to get some good speakers or a headset, and a reasonably good video camera, although these are less crucial. You may find that listening to music helps you to stay productive at home, and good speakers are a nice addition to a home office. Be Mindful of Seating Like selecting an inexpensive mattress, I’m always surprised by how few people chose to invest in furniture they use for many hours each day. A comfortable seat for your office is the most important place to start, since you’re going to be sitting in it all day. Don’t choose a hard dining chair or a super soggy armchair, but opt for something similar to chairs you would use in a normal office. A desk chair is often a good choice, as this can be adjusted to suit different tasks, and should support you while you’re working at the computer. An ergonomic chair could be the difference between comfort and back pain. A good chair makes a lot of difference to how productive you are, so think about your seating and don’t just use the first chair you find. Don’t ignore the seating factor – it’s going to be a big part of working from that office. Build Your Space Slowly Now that we’re 18 months into a global pandemic, two things are obvious: Remote work is here to stay. The theory of relativity is at work. In March 2020, if you had asked 100 professionals what work would look like in 18 months, most would have said we’d “definitely” be back in the office by now. What seemed like a temporary way of doing business has now been the “new normal” for quite sometime, and there are little signs of changing. As for your space, you shouldn’t feel you have to rush out and buy everything you need for your home office all at once. You don’t need the perfect space from the start. Use the office for a while to see what works, what doesn’t work, and what you’re lacking. You may find you never touch your noise-canceling headphones, or that overly-complicated microphone gets no use. Equally, you might find them crucial. Set yourself up with the essentials and then see how it goes before buying lots of expensive gadgets. Conclusion Setting up a home office can be fun and it challenges you to get creative and build professionalism into your home. Fundamentally, you need to make it a great space for productivity. Work to reduce background noise, streamline your communications, make yourself comfortable, and keep a constant eye open for what else you need to improve your space in the future. References

Someone who I am quite fond of was musing recently, “What if you turn a corner and bump into the love of your life?” I quickly answered, “Which one?” I don’t believe in the single love of my life–I know that this is a controversial issue, but hear me out. I have irrefutable evidence that there is just not one single “Love of your Life” but rather, a life “well loved” would consist of a string of loves that are appropriate and necessary to that one stage of your life. The First Love of My Life I would have to say, without being creepy, that my father was the love of my life as a small child. I adored him, hung on his every word, and thought that no man could rival him. He was moderately demonstrative, encouraged intellectual curiosity and thought I was great. Until I hit adolescence. The Second Love of My Life Without a doubt, I could tell you that David Cassidy was the second love of my life. And lest you think that a popular figure, who I didn’t personally know, couldn’t possibly fit the bill, I present to you the following evidence. I adored him–everything about him, his looks, his personality (if you read TigerBeat regularly you really got a feel for what a great guy he was!) the way he treated his mother. I would lay on my floor with a record playing on my boxed turntable and listen to David singing to me–validating his love for me through song. I mean, wasn’t “I Think I Love You” inspired by my devotion? As part of our love, I regularly pictured the life we would lead when his bus would break down in the middle of our suburban town and I would just happen to be there with a bright smile and a winning personality. I could carry a tune and thought I could probably join the family business. (Side note–Now, I can’t hear that song without hearing him sing “I Think I Love You, DON’T TOUCH ME!!!” A lyric change that resulted from 100 or so middle-aged mom/fans who stormed the stage at the Count Basie and tried to pull him into the crowd. It was a frightening moment for a man in his late sixties!) Getting Real Now-Third Love of My Life, but First Flesh and Blood My first, “flesh and blood” “Love of My Life” would be none other than David Russell. He was a 15 year-old beefy blond football player with a sweet disposition and a funny sense of humor. I officially “went out” with him the summer I was 14, but I had been “in love” with him from the age of 12. (Forgive me David Casssidy for my two-timing treachery). He was the first to tell me he loved me at the tender age of 14. We swam together, we made out in the rafters of our yacht clubs’ bathhouse, we skirted the inquisitive collective gazes of our sunbathing mothers on the lookout for teen debauchery. We were made for eachother. Chicago’s “Color my World” was playing during our first ever slow dance on the patio of the Club. To this day, I can’t hear it without thinking of him. It was the “Eight to 80 Dance” and we swayed under the summer stars and the eyes of parent chaperones, many who thought it was cute that we were together. The Carpenters song “We’ve Only Just Begun” was going to be our wedding song, although I have to admit, he was less involved in that choice. He was very indulgent of my romantic fancies. A loose diary and my mother’s obsessive tidying brought our young affair to a screeching and messy halt. And there ended that “Love of My Life”. Years later, we were to attend Syracuse University together, and with the exception of some drunk, dance floor kissing on my 19th birthday, we were never together again. A few years ago, he passed away suddenly. I hadn’t seen him in over 35 years, but I wept like a baby for the smiling, blond boy that I remembered and loved. #4-The Real Deal It would be a decade later, when the next “Love of my Life” revealed himself in the form of a 22 soon to be 23-year old bartender at a new restaurant across 33rd St. from my office in Manhattan. The owner encouraged a bunch of us “20 Somethings” to come in for Margaritas “on the house” during opening week, and we just never left. The bartender was completely oblivious and dealt with me and my friends with the right combo of efficiency, flirtation and impatience. One of my friends had a crush on him, while I turned my eye towards a waiter from Poland, who was attending NYU. The bartender turned out to be funny, obnoxious and smart, but I was not charmed. The turning point came when we all went down to the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy. He led the group like a Roman tour guide, providing quips and jokes–while I secretly wondered how this big mouth was allowed to take control of our outing. It wasn’t until we stopped at some restaurant and I had a splitting headache, that everything changed. He asked the bartender for a glass of water told me to drink it, stood behind me and gave me the best temple massage I have ever had, all the while whispering funny stories about all the people we were with. He was beefy (yes this is a sought-after physical trait for me) and bald, and when he asked me how old I thought he was, I tried to be diplomatic. Logic told me that if he was bald he was over a certain age, but his core group of friends were younger. “Thirty five!” I answered, thinking I was giving him the best compliment ever. “Thanks, I’m 22!” What can I say, I didn’t take into consideration his baby face. He had just finished school and was starting a company, he told me, working nights to pay the bills. Our first date was the night of my twenty-third birthday, when he hijacked my party by contacting my friends and telling them that he was taking me out. I got to the bar, looked for my friends and saw only him with my drink and a birthday cupcake-I was hooked. It was the night Hurricane Gloria hit New York, a fact that I always thought appropriate. I got a 1 am train to Long Island and my mother and sister were not amused. It would be 14 days without telephone or electricity before I heard from him again. One of the first calls that came through once utilities were restored was Michael calling to see how I was and when we could see each other again. That began what would be both a tumultuous courtship, and to some extent marriage. We were both suckers for a sad story (would cry at TV commercials), we could fight with the best of them, we were ten days apart and born at the same hospital in NYC, neither one of us could make a decision unless really under the gun (Astrologers would say it is the Libran couple), and for both of us, family was not only everything, many times it was the only thing. We were made for eachother. We loved each other and our four kids with a fierce devotion that spanned our 30 years together and that didn’t end on the day he died. So there is that “Love of My Life.” The Caveat There is a caveat to my “many” “Loves of My Life” theory, and that is a love that spans a virtual lifetime. For those that are fortunate enough to have a love that runs the gamut of life–from couple, young family, to grown family, empty nesters, grandparents, I concede that that is truly “The Love of Your Life”. I am fortunate to have witnessed that kind of love in my own family–my sister in law’s parents, and I will say there is no better example of the ONE love of a life than theirs. It has spanned decades and included overarching joy, unspeakable heartbreak, faith and deep devotion. I know that this exists, I have seen it with my own eyes, and the knowledge of that makes me happy. But that can never be mine. What’s Next? It would be horribly sad, and it would be difficult to live with the same optimism, if I believed that Michael was THE Love of My Life and that I would never have another. How could I enter into any relationship if I did not believe it had the potential to be miraculous? Michael himself would be cheering from the rafters if I found someone whom I was crazy about and with whom I could live out the next few decades. I can swear on my life right now there would not be a smidge of begrudging on his part. I believe looking for, and maybe finding that person, would be the highest compliment and honor I could give Michael. He provided me with something that I would want to have again. The next great “Love of My Life” won’t have all the craziness of child-rearing and early career drama, but it will probably have the equal craziness of weddings and grandchildren. I won’t settle for a mere companion, I want the whole thing.

SANTA MONICA—The Santa Monica based MUJI store is permanently closing its location at 2936 Main St. to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2018, the Japanese retailer opened in Santa Monica at the Third Street Promenade location, becoming the largest West Coast store. The Hollywood MUJI store at 7021 Hollywood Blvd has also closed their doors after its six-year run. The store initially opened in 2013 and the 8,600 square foot venue was the largest until the newer Santa Monica store surpassed it in 2018. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and failed to pay rent in the United States. According to Financial Times, the company is currently $64 million in debt. The closure will affect all seven locations in California as part of the restructuring plan. The impacted stores include: Third Street Promenade, Hollywood, Santa Anita, Stanford, San Jose, Santa Monica, and SOMA. According to Bloomberg News, the pandemic was not entirely to blame, as the business in the U.S. had been operating at a loss for the past three fiscal years with a loss of approximately $10 million last year. MUJI USA News Release “Thank you for eight wonderful years in California,” MUJI said. “We hope you will continue to shop with us online. Our website remains fully operational and our customer service experts are always available to answer any questions you may have.” MUJI initiated in Japan in 1980 and acquires more than 400 stores spread out in Japan. One year after, the minimalist home goods store opened its first store outside of Japan in London. Currently, MUJI stores are located in greater New York area, New Jersey, Boston and Portland.

N.N. Goswamy, J. - (1.)This is an application under Sec. 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay in filing the appeal. The impugned judgment is dated 15-7-1982. The appeal against the said judgment was filed on 2-9-1982. The appeal was filed with an application for treating the appeal to be urgent. The Registry recorded an objection on the appeal stating that the certified copy of the decree-sheet should be filed. The appeal was admittedly not accompanied by the decree-sheet. This objection was recorded by the Registry on 2-9-1982 itself. The appeal was taken back by the learned counsel for the appellant on the next date i.e, on 3-9-1982. An application for obtaining the certified copy of the decree-sheet was filed on 14-9-1982. There is no explanation for these 11 days delay. The certified copy of the decree-sheet was prepared on 17-1-1983. It was filed in this court on 25-1-1983. Again there is no explanation for these 8 days. (2.)Considering the circumstances, that originally the appeal was filed within the period of limitation, I would have taken a lenient view and condoned the delay. However, in the circumstances, I am reluctant to condone the delay. The respondent has, admittedly, remarried on 19-2-1983 i.e. about 7 months after the impugned judgment and decree. Having waited for all this period, he cannot be blamed for having remarried because no appeal was pending in this Court. In these circumstances, the application is dismissed. The appeal being barred by limitation is also dismissed. Both application and appeal dismissed.

A tool lanyard is an essential tool for anyone working at great heights. As well and considering your own safety, it is vital to consider the safety of others around and below you. If you were to drop a hand tool or a small power tool by accident, it could have catastrophic results if it were to hit anyone. So by using a lanyard as a tool attachment, not only are you keeping everyone safe, you are also working efficiently and saving time and money as retrieving dropped tools can be a timely process.Choosing the right Tool LanyardWhen choosing a tool lanyard, it is important that you choose one that supports the weight of your tools, as different tool lanyards support different weights. A tool lanyard with the same weight range as your tools will be the most comfortable and effective whilst at work.It is also vitally important to consider the distance you need to be able to reach to complete the job, as well as taking into consideration that the shorter the lanyard, the more practical in the event that it were dropped, and if working in a confined space any excess lanyard could pose a danger in the event of snagging.Types of Tool LanyardsThere are a number of different tool lanyards which can be attached to either a tool belt worn around the waist, ideal for tethering multi-tools or a wrist lanyard also known as a wristband for attaching tools to your wrist. Tools can then be connected via a loop or a carabiner.A stretch lanyard is the most popular and versatile. It is a simple way to tether tools. A coiled tool lanyard is very strong and durable and ideal for using on a work belt or on a wristband. A Webbing lanyard can be very versatile whether working with lightweight to heavy-duty loads. Retractable tool lanyards are very strong and can lock into place at the required length. Wrist lanyards can be adjustable, where a hook and loop system is used to adjust the length, or a version called a pull-away is designed for use near moving machinery. Helmet lanyards are also available to prevent your hard hat from falling if it comes off your head.

Typically when a buyer and their agent are making an offer, they are asking the question. How much can I get the house for? For many parts of the country there has been a shift to a seller’s market with multiple offers. The rest of you ignore this or file it for when it shifts, you’ll be ahead of the curve. Unlike the seller’s market that started 8-10 years ago, you just increased your bid and then won. Today we have appraisers being a little more conservative. Which means we can only go so high in price, so you simply cannot just up yours more than the other guys. The key is to change your question. The new question is. How do I net the seller the most amount of money and stay within the appraisal? If everyone is pretty much stuck with the same maximum price, based on the appraisal theory. So now what? It now boils down to how you manage the closing cost.

Hey there! In the last month I have stumbled into another interesting oppurtunity. I currently am working for a picker who travels Indiana looking for unique things to sell. It's really interesting. If you have seen the showAmerican Pickers, then you have some idea of what I'm talking about. My job is similiar to that. Right now I am the manager for my picker. (Picker Bob) I manage his Craig's List and might be making a website for him to post on. Anyway, Picker Bob is in the process of picking the old elementary school in our town. This past summer we built a new primary school, and the old building won't be in use any more. It will be demolished. Picker Bob went to our school auction and paid a flat fee to find anything useful left in the school and resell it. So the things he finds aren't really as cool as like vintage Coca-Cola machines or anything, but the things he finds are pretty unique. He has all of the glass windows, the letters from the outside of the building, boiler pieces; all things that are from the '50s. I went to that elementary school when I was younger, and he was nice enough to let me keep something from the building. I'm not sure what I'll keep yet. As of right now, I am waiting for him to take inventory of everything he has so I can post on Craig's List, but a couple of weeks ago he offered me some extra work. I went in during the weekend and tore down copper wires from the electric units, and collected aluminium in the first grade hallway (around six classrooms). My parents helped me collect everything and also made sure I was safe while doing the demolition work. It was really cold, messy, and different, but I collected around $200 in aluminum and copper. It was a fun experience. Picker Bob has lots of interesting stories to tell, and he was happy to have me work for him since I am saving my money for a good cause. All my money will be going to my Blue Stars fund, and it's adding up fast. Check out more pictures on my Flickr page.

Social networking platforms like Facebook are immensely popular and help users to collaborate and share information in real time. However information sharing and privacy go hand in hand and It is very hard to define the term privacy infringement. Amit Mahale and Pradeep Chinnam will review G-sis,a new group centric information sharing model [1] being developed by Ravi Sandhu and colleagues. While traditional approach to information sharing focus on attaching attributes and policies to objects as they are disseminated, the group-centric approach models bringing users and objects together in a group to facilitate sharing. We will discuss and explore its relevance to improving privacy in social networks. We will also review the OWL-Time, an ontology for time [2] to implement temporal reasoning in our system We hope that the session leads to effective brainstorming and helps us identify relevant use cases towards our goal.

The album’s opener, ‘Tiny Little Bows’ isn’t about wrapping paper or hair ribbons, but rather about the bows of the archery sort — specifically, Cupid’s. Though you’ll be singing along against your will after hearing it, the song has a somewhat irritating, repetitive verse, but the hook is, as Jepsen will prove typical of her tracks, insanely catchy. The melody is pretty similar to ‘Call Me Maybe,’ but with more electronic touches than her breakout pop ditty.

Viewer attention is shifting dramatically as we spend more time at home–and we’ve heard directly from many advertisers that are working quickly to adjust their creative and media strategies, especially to orient toward streaming platforms. Today, we are sharing new advertiser insights and accelerating the launch of a number of tools–including Brand Lift measurement on the TV screen and more flexible formats for content casted onto the TV screen–to help advertisers navigate this rapidly changing environment.1 People are streaming on TV screens more than ever As people spend more time at home, we’re seeing major shifts in streaming viewership. A recent Comscore report highlighted that over 70 million US households are now streaming content on their connected TV screens. Nowhere is this shift more pronounced than on YouTube and YouTube TV. According to Comscore, YouTube has the highest reach and viewing hours among ad-supported streaming services, and represents a quarter of all streaming watch time across both subscription and ad-supported platforms in the US.2 Stay at home directives have amplified this shift to the TV screens, as overall watch time there has jumped 80 percent year over year in March 2020.3 Diversity of viewer passions and interests is what inspires people to stream YouTube on their big screens–from tuning into their favorite health and fitness videos to leaning back with a creator sharing a bit of their world to watching more traditional media outlets reinvent their content for this new reality. Below, we’ve shared just a few of the top content growth areas across both YouTube and YouTube TV on TV screens during this time. While people are enjoying movies and shows to unwind, they are also watching live content from their favorite creators and cultural moments. People are also gravitating to the consistently new and fresh content YouTube creators put out every day. In fact, over 60 percent of signed-in viewers of YouTube on TV screens watched a video published in the last 7 days.4 And, we see different user behavior when people engage with YouTube on the TV screen–it’s often enjoyed with others, unlike the more individual experience on the mobile device. In a recent custom Nielsen study commissioned by Google, we found that 26 percent of the time, multiple 18+ viewers are watching YouTube together on the TV screen, compared to 22 percent on linear TV.5 Making it easier to measure results across YouTube streaming platforms With increases in watch time and an influx of daily visitors, brands in a position to continue marketing can make their budgets go further on YouTube by expanding their strategies to incorporate streaming. With media mixes becoming increasingly reliant on streaming, it’s more important than ever to measure its impact. As a result, we’re accelerating the launch of Brand Lift for YouTube on TV screens. For viewers, this means surveys are now optimized for the big screen and interactivity with a TV remote, so people can easily respond or skip the survey. This will enable marketers to make informed decisions about ad performance, and better optimize streaming campaigns in real time whether they are using Google Ads or Display & Video 360 for both reservation and auction campaigns. Whether a campaign is focused on ad recall, purchase intent or awareness, Brand Lift will help make budgets go further. It will be available in the coming weeks for the YouTube app, and in early Q3 for YouTube TV. Bringing more formats to the big screen As viewers spend more time watching YouTube on the TV screen, we are continuing to evolve to help advertisers better reach their customers where they are. Late last year, we launched the YouTube Masthead on TV screens to help advertisers drive awareness with a large audience in a single moment. Advertisers like Uber are seeing success using this format to reach their audiences when they’re in lean back mode and where they are increasingly spending their time. Travis Freeman, Global Head of Media at Uber said, “The Masthead on TV screens has been a critical component to build awareness for our #MoveWhatMatters initiative—which offers 10 million free rides and food deliveries for frontline healthcare workers, seniors and people in need. The Masthead, deployed in both the US and Canada, enabled us to easily amplify our message and reach our audiences where they are watching now more than ever.” This year, we’re also bringing more format flexibility to streaming by introducing the popular skippable ad format for content that is casted onto the TV screen. As casting watch time soared by over 75 percent year over year,6 this provides advertisers a new way to reach their audience as they embrace the evolving ways consumers are watching their favorite content. In a time when an eager audience is hungry for new content, YouTube is able to deliver fresh video to households across the world daily—within the niche or mainstream categories they love. By accelerating new tools and features, we’re committed to helping you grow your business in the changing world of viewership and streaming on TV screens. Reach out to your Google sales team to learn more about YouTube and YouTube TV on TV screens, and the new features shared today to support your campaigns. 1.

We mic’d up the best coaching staff in the country during practice...it’s worth the 👂#GoIrish ☘️ — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) August 15, 2019 I love this kind of stuff right now. We are all football starved so any kind of "behind the scenes" taste wets our appetites. In this case we get to see Notre Dame coaches interact with the players during practice. Nothing major was revealed but you notice they only focused on head coach Brian Kelly, RB coach Lance Taylor and defensive coordinator Clark Lea. They needed to keep it PG so offensive coordinator Chip Long was left off the mics for obvious non-PG reasons. I know it won't happen but I would love for NBC to offer a mic'd up feed for home games. I would love to be able to hear the coaches interacting with the players on the sidelines. It doesn't need to be a live mic. I just want to see a replay of what was said or celebrated after big plays. Just a thought.

Former two-time Buffalo Bills tight end Lee Smith announced his retirement on Tuesday. Smith grew up in my hometown – Knoxville, Tennessee – and went to my same middle school. He went to my high school for two years before transferring to Powell High School north of Knoxville for his junior and senior seasons. Smith was an all-around athlete, highly recruited by The University of Tennessee. However, he went to Marshall University. Smith was named to the Conference USA All-Academic team. His NFL Career Smith was drafted in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, but would not make the final 53-man roster. His first stint in Buffalo was difficult. His first four years saw the disastrous tenures of Chan Gailey and Doug Marrone. After his first stint in Buffalo, Smith would spend four years with the Oakland Raiders. Smith would play for Jack Del Rio and Jon Gruden. Smith returned to Buffalo for his second stint with the Bills for the 2019 season. In Week 3 of 2020, he caught a one-yard touchdown reception agains the Rams. Then, he went on the reserve/COVID-19 list. In Week 16 vs. the New England Patriots, Smith caught two passes: one for 27 yards, and a four-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen. After the season, the Bills traded Smith to the Atlanta Falcons for a 2022 seventh-round draft pick. Smith spent one season with the Falcons. Smith recorded 73 receptions, 523 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns during his NFL career. Beyond Football Outside of football, Smith runs an elite training center to mentor young kids and turn them into athletes. He also wants to keep kids out of trouble and show them ways of coping with life off the field. Should he retire as a Bill? Even when players have a significant role on teams, they don’t play for the same team forever. Brett Favre didn’t always play for the Packers. He played for the Jets and Vikings. Yet, he retired as a Packer. While Tom Brady’s a Buccaneer right now, I think we all know that he’ll retire as a Patriot. Many of Lee Smith’s best moments were in Buffalo, and I believe that he contributed a lot to the Bills. I would sign that one-day contract and retire in Western New York as a Buffalo Bill if I were him.

The Faithful Sidekicks are the acoustic geek/filk comedy musical duo of Eric and Jen Distad. They started making music together in 2004 but it wasn't until they combined Eric's love of songwriting with Jen's skills in Improv Comedy that they found their musical passion and started having enormous fun in the process. Now, they write and perform catchy original (mostly) comedic songs about the geeky/fannish things that they love, with topics ranging from Star Trek to SQL Code and everything in between. Based in Oregon City in Oregon, they have been delighting audiences together at coffee shops, SF Conventions and small venues around the US, Canada, and even Germany since 2014.

To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons, grace to you and peace from God, or Father, and the LORD Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:1,2 continued from yesterday. Fellowship is the unity we have wit people through Christ Jesus. Paul expresses this fellowship when he writes to the saints in Christ Jesus, who have accepted the goodness of Jesus Christ. His forgiveness covers their sins and reunites them with God. Even in his dungeon Paul finds joy in the Christian fellowship of real saints. He knows Lydia the businesswoman, and the jailer of Philippi. Paul had served as the instrument of the Spirit in leading them to Christ. He thinks of real people as he writes. If you read Philippians 4:1, you will read he calls them "joy and crown." We can lose this personal touch in our depersonalized world. We have made machines which act like people, but we also have people who behave like machines. People become just things who can be controlled for gain. Example: The person in the traffic lane next to us becomes just a wheeled vehicle. The store clerk becomes just a voice with answers. The injured man on the highway becomes just a statistic on the fatality list. In Christ, who loved us as real people, we have true fellowship with the saints of God. Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.

Magento 2 – What has changed? 21 Mar Magento 2 – What has changed? Posted at 20:05h in Advice, Magento, News by JustinB 0 Likes Share There has been a lot of talk about Magento 2 and the opportunities it represents, but what there has been precious little of is what the precise differences are between Magento 1.x and the new Magento 2 platform. We thought we might fill that gap – so that retailers and agencies can weigh up whether to take the additional risk of going Magento 2 or not. So what is different between the old and the new Magento? The headline news is not easy – it’s everything and nothing! Old Magento hands will still recognise the old Magento settings, albeit re-ordered slightly. Re-worked and stripped out checkout. This has been radically overhauled, and as well as being Ajax, it also starts with Shipping address and then offers the chance in billing to provide a separate billing address. It also reduces the process to 2 steps – Shipping and Payment. It also follows a fundamentally “Guest” type checkout, and includes the opportunity to create an account at the Order Success page. This should address previous issues with the stepped approach that Magento offered, and the issues with ‘Guest vs. Logged In’ checkout; it should reduce checkout fallout and improve conversion. Backend workflows and product creation wizards. This includes a number of features designed to improve the usability of the admin screens. The interface is touch screen friendly, the filters and columns are more customisable so that you can create proper workflows, you can Drag and Drop images and video in the admin screens and the product creation system has been simplified through the use of wizards. The themes have been improved. These improvements are in architecture you can have multi-layered themes, to allow a single theme to be more easily adaptable at store level and therefore more easily managed. There are also a number of Responsive improvements, and jQuery JavaScript libraries have been included rather than Prototype – which should make life easier for Front End developers (and for reducing JavaScript clashes). Price has been fundamentally reworked. Perhaps the most fundamental change from a product/store management and ERP integration point of view has hardly been mentioned by Magento, and that is around price. In the old Magento the price of configurable products was defined in the configurable itself – i.e. if you had a product with three differently priced sizes you had to define these differences in the parent product – but this has changed, and now all products take the price of the child. This has massive implications all through the Magento infrastructure, from how integrations work, to promotions and marketplace listings. Import/Export. The old Dataflow profiles have been (sadly) retired, but the import /export tool has been beefed up (and stabilised!). Magento boasts of imports working 4x faster. We have not yet been able to confirm these claims, but the prognosis seems good. Caching & Indexing. It would have been quite a shock if nothing had been done in this area, as this was one of the main gripe areas of Magento 1. It’s not all good news however, as Indexing seems to have taken a step back as there is no manual way to re-generate indexes from the admin panel. However on the plus side caching seems to have been improved, with Full Page cache facilities available in the community edition, and full integration with Varnish available as standard. Architecture. The whole MySQL and file architecture has been reworked in the new platform – including database separation of products, orders and customers (to allow greater robustness when data sync is under way) and MySQL clustering. Security. Magento have trumpeted about security improvements, though to be honest we cannot determine where these improvements have been made, nor what the uplift in security might be. PCI is anyway largely addressed by payment gateway integrations and server infrastructure, and there is certainly nothing to prevent best practice security from being deployed. Auto-testing Suite. Another function of the new platform (that as yet we have not tested) it its Auto-testing suite. Scalability results. Magento has released data on the improvements to performance and scalability, and they are pretty impressive, with improvements of 150% for catalogue views per hour, and 117% for orders per hour. We have not yet verified these figures, but in any case we have not had any real issues with performance. Magento has always been processor hungry, and this comes at a cost, but this has not prevented the required performance from being achieved. Conclusions Lots of changes – and lots just the same – and a bit of getting used to things required. Magento 2 is a real step forward for SME eCommerce, and once the developer ecosystem catches up the future looks rosy! Is it right for you? The best way to determine that is to Get In Touch and start comparing your requirements to what can be delivered right now in the new platform! You could also review one of our previous articles on Magento 2 Facts. We look forward to speaking soon and helping you deliver your eCommerce vision.

I felt this website would not be complete without a page dedicated to you. Ever since we brought our first batch of yogurt to sell at the Norwich farmers' market over ten years ago, you’ve given us overwhelming support and only positive reviews. We feel immensely blessed to have such a wonderful group of people supporting us through every hurdle the years have presented. Through selling without a license, to getting shut down, and changing our name in the end, you’ve purchased countless yogurts in support of our family business. Without our customers, we wouldn’t have a yogurt business. We couldn't have grown from selling at one farmers' market to having our products in fifteen stores. And without those of you who persuaded me to contact Vermont Technical College for their help in fabricating the yogurt processing equipment and graciously donated to VTC for our cause, we wouldn't have been able to afford the cost of becoming a licensed business. For this, we are forever grateful. I personally want to thank each one of you for the times that you shop at our booth at the farmers market in Norwich, buy our yogurt at one of the farm stands, or walk into a local store or co-op to either purchase our yogurt or pick one up and decide to try it. We are greatly appreciative of your support and want you to know that it is because of YOU that our business is alive and successful today.

Because we only provide the highest quality livestream shows at On Air it is important to make sure your internet connection can handle it! Therefore we recommend you to check your connection which you can do using one of the following speed test sites: Speedtest: Run one of the above (or both) speed tests in order to determine an estimate of your current Internet speed. The MINIMUM speed recommendations for our streams (HD, 4K UHD, etc) can be found on our Internet connection speed recommendations page. If your internet connection speed is low, try to switch from a wireless connection (if you are using wireless) to a wired connection. In dense populated areas there is often Wi‑Fi interference causing low throughput/slow internet connections. It might also be time to upgrade your Wi-Fi equipment to support the latest standards. Try to avoid streaming over a 3G or 4G mobile network connection: Throughput might suddenly drop during streaming while you are on the move and thus dropping below the required minimum speed. 5G mobile network connections should be fine for streaming purposes. Using an internet connection with speeds below the minimum speed recommendation could result in buffering or a bad quality streaming experience. Running a speed test allows you to determine whether or not you have proper bandwidth available. In case the bandwidth is below the required minimum you should contact your Internet Service Provider. Where possible, connect over a good quality connection like a wired home router, using mobile data can result in varying quality and high data usage. As an illustration, here are some result examples of proper (good) internet connections from the above mentioned websites: Below an example of a solid/good internet connection test result via speedtest.net: Below an example of a solid/good internet connection test result via Your internet connection speed is one of the most important factors determining the quality of the streams we can provide to your specific device.

Academy of Sciences of Yakutia / The Siberian Times / Academy of Sciences of Yakutia / The Siberian Times For the first time ever, paleontologists in Yakutia, a region in the extreme northeast of Asia, have found the bodies of two fully intact cave lions (Panthera leo spelaea) believed to be over 10,000 years old. According to The Siberian Times and the Academy of Sciences of Yakutia, the cubs were discovered over the summer, preserved by the permafrost of the Sahka Republic—one of the coldest places on the planet, with average summer temperatures around 58°F and winter freezes of -50°F. Scientists believe that cave lions went extinct around the time that the cubs died, so studying the remains of the ancient babies could tell them more about why the predatory species disappeared. "One theory is a decline in deer and cave bears, their prey, caused their demise," The Siberian Times reports. Previously, only partial skeletons, bones, and teeth of Panthera leo spelaea had been found, which makes this discovery of two complete specimens especially exciting. Further information about the find will be shared at a media presentation in November, when other ancient creatures found preserved in the region over the years will also be on display. The only other information that the scientists have been able to confirm is that the prehistoric cats' remains were free of dangerous microorganisms such as anthrax—ruling out at least one possible cause of death.

You might not have a Randy Johnson rookie card in your collection yet, but as time passes, you’ll most likely realize two things. First, Randy Johnson was one of the most dominating pitchers in MLB history. And secondly, you need a Randy Johnson rookie card. Randy Johnson, also known as “The Big Unit,” was a 10-time All-Star, and won 5 Cy Young Awards. He was also a Triple Crown winner in 2002, and a 2001 World Series Champion. As a pitcher, he defeated every major-league team at least once—a stunning accomplishment of skill and longevity. The Young Randy Johnson Randy Johnson was born in Walnut Creek, California, on September 10, 1963, and was a star baseball and basketball athlete in high school. While the Atlanta Braves selected him in the 4th round of the 1982 Major League Baseball draft, Johnson took a full athletic scholarship to play baseball at USC. The following year Johnson was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the second round of the 1985 MLB draft and reported to the minor league Jamestown Expos single-A team. Randy Johnson’s Professional Career Johnson had a rough start to his pro career with the Montreal Expos and was soon traded to the Seattle Mariners. He showed a lack of control at the beginning of his career. But soon would begin to show his talents in 1990, when he became the first left-hander to strike out Wade Boggs three times in one game. In 1993, he broke out, posting a 19-8 record, 3.24 Earned Running Average (ERA), getting his first of six 300 plus strikeout seasons, and was the first Seattle Mariners pitcher to reach 300 strikeouts in a single season. Additionally, he recorded his 1,000th career strikeout against the Minnesota Twins. Old-time baseball fans might remember this highlight from the 1993 MLB All-Star Game. When John Kruk dug in to face Randy Johnson, the first pitch sailed over Kruk’s head. The next few pitches showed fans why Randy Johnson was one of the most dominant pitchers of his day. Kruk never had a chance at touching the ball. In the later part of the 90s, Johnson would be traded to the Houston Astros for a brief stint and then to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a four-year contract. He won the Cy Young Award and Warren Spahn Award in 1999 and 2000 consecutively. A Dominating Career In 2001, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling carried the Diamondbacks to victory in the World Series against the New York Yankees. Johnson and Schilling shared the World Series MVP award, the Babe Ruth Award. The duo was named Sports Illustrated magazine’s 2001 Sportsmen of the Year. He would also win his third consecutive Warren Spahn Award and Cy Young Award. In 2002, Johnson won the Triple Crown – where he led the National League in wins, ERA, and strikeouts. That year, he became the first pitcher in baseball history to post a 24-5 record. He would also win his fourth consecutive Cy Young and Warren Spahn Awards. Later in his career, he played for the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants, solidifying his status as one of the best strikeout pitchers in big league history. Retirement from Major League Baseball In 2010, Johnson announced his retirement. Johnson was inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame in 2012 and elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015. Today, Johnson is a successful photographer, a hobby he picked up when he was a child. Additionally, he maintains a bond with the Arizona Diamondbacks and has worked as an assistant coach.

This display is from my friend Judy’s house. Her husband Dan grew the pumpkins and candyroasters, sharing half of one with me. After cooking down the pulp in the crockpot I had four quarts to use and freeze. Candyroasters are usually sweeter than most pumpkins, and are preferred in these mountains. Other than this fun use for pumpkins, these pumpkin bars are my choice. Pumpkin Bars Recipes This year I used the candyroaster in the filling. I also doubled the filling, except for the sugar and butter. It has twice the servings of a pumpkin pie, and is easier to make. With a little whipped cream on top they go fast!

Lane was a self entitled arrogant prick. He was an NFL head coach in his 30s and probably thought he couldn't fail. He did. Miserably. Failure has a way of humbling a person. Age has a way of maturing a person. His time at Alabama and FIU or FAU or whatever saw him grow up tremendously and I think he has learned to laugh at himself. His twitter is often self deprecating humor and he is showing he isn't taking himself too seriously. I dislike him a lot less now.

And, he was married to a Gator greats daughter too. Just strange. But...while I reserve my right to change my mind in the future, currently, I find him actually pretty funny - he's also a great recruiter and a fabulous offensive mind. He'll scratch, crawl and earn his way to the top. I wouldn't be surprised to see him the head coach at Bama or some other premier football program one day.

Ole Miss and Lane are kind of greater than the sum of their parts for some reason. Their ceiling is a little higher combined than separately it feels like. Plus, even the bad Lane of yore is pretty tame for what went down with Freeze or even some of the stuff I've heard about Orgeron while he was here, which makes this one of the few places where Lane's past isn't as bad as some of the other recent guys. My guess is that sooner or later, he'll get lured away to a bigger program, and it won't go well. He's not a CEO type like Saban from what I've heard and loves kind of shooting from the hip. I think because Ole Miss is a team that really can't expect more than a puncher's chance for the SEC even when the stars align for them, Lane's style works. For better or worse, he's the kind of guy who might think he could take a swing at the biggest guy in the bar and actually come out on top. Not sure that would translate well at a bigger program used to sustained dominance. I've enjoyed having him here, personally. I never could really get into Ole Miss football when Freeze and Luke were here. Just felt like the same old "one of us" BS I always hated about Ole Miss when I was a kid. The team feels more like a modern SEC team these days and less like its high on its own supply of mythology from the 50s and 60s teams. I also think he's far from the sleaziest guy in the conference. Dude is at worst a bit of a Dennis the Menace who had a thing for younger women, which he at least wasn't paying for and. Jimbo and Brian Kelly seem orders of magnitude worse that a middle-aged, eternal frat kid.

Here is an interesting article that someone put in comments on one of my Facebook posts. It's about the issue of subscriptions and paywalls. I've suggested a "pay by article system" as I can't subscribe to the hundreds of publications who's articles come up in my feeds. Turns out that idea is called "micropayments" and it's been (being) tried. It has drawbacks as described here, but there are some other ideas, described in this article, that might work even better. One idea, used by the Guardian from UK, is to have journalism content remain free, but invite readers to make a donation subscription. You choose the price. Article didn't mention this, but that's how NPR Radio works. The content is free. It's on the air, but it's even free on the web, for the most part. Many NPR radio stations even archive content so one can listen at their convenience. One can back and search the archive for shows from even past years. Usually the topic is well described with a thumbnail photo. I often post content from various NPR stations. Some print publications, like the Guardian, use reader donation systems similar to NPR. That might be an idea that catches on more widely.

The Royal Hawaiian Hotel was one of the first hotels located on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. The hotel’s beach offers wonderful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head, the island’s extinct, iconic volcanic crater. It is one of the few ‘older’ places in a city that has exploded with new devlopment in the past half century. The Royal Hawaiian is known for its bright pink color, hence the nickname, “The Pink Palace of the Pacific”. Its design has a Moorish influence and the complex sits on 15 acres of land, most of which is a beautiful tropical garden. The hotel has 400 rooms, each with a balcony, and was built to accommodate the growing number of wealthy American …

On the 24th of March, countries, international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Stop TB Partnership, NGOs, health activists and other stakeholders around the world will mark World Tuberculosis Day – an annual event where organizations raise public awareness and highlight the progress made, as well as challenges in the global fight against this devastating infectious disease. The theme for this year’s World TB day campaign is “Invest to End TB. Save Lives”. TB is a highly infectious disease that is usually caused by bacteria known as mycobacterium tuberculosis. It affects the lungs and can be spread between people through coughing and sneezing. According to the WHO, an estimated 10 million people get infected with TB every year out of which 1.5 million die, making it the top infectious disease killer in the world. Most TB cases occur in low-and middle-income countries with 50 percent of all cases being found in only 8 countries: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines and South Africa. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3 includes a target to end TB by 2030. To achieve this goal, organizations, NGOs, manufacturers and suppliers of TB diagnostics and health products, health activists, people affected by the disease and other relevant bodies must all work together to raise resource and invest in testing and treating the disease. Unimed’s Contribution to the Fight Against TB The procurement and supply of health products and medical equipment to help screen, diagnose and treat TB is a key component in the fight against TB. As a global supplier of lab and other health products, Unimed is well equipped to procure quality lab equipment and TB-related health products on behalf of our clients. We continuously work on expanding our product list and are able to provide a bespoke service, due to our wide network and good relationships with reliable suppliers. Unimed has experience in delivering life-saving products in low-and middle-income countries. This 24th March, Unimed will be closely following the WHO’s virtual talk show which will be hosted from 12:30 - 15:00 CET. Discussions will include how tuberculosis is treated, investing in medical procurement standards and resources, as well as commitments made by world leaders. You can join in too and interactively learn more about fighting tuberculosis by clicking here.

With every country racing to decrease their carbon footprint, it’s important to do your part and help save the planet you are living on. There are numerous ways through which you can reduce your carbon footprint like carpooling, using public transport, switching off appliances when not in use and using eco-friendly materials in your house and office. In a recent study, it was found that glass manufacturing has a major hand in increasing the carbon footprint. Unlike glass used in beverage bottles and jars, most glasses used in windows and doors of houses and offices are not recyclable and produce a lot of carbon dioxide while manufacturing. So, you can substantially reduce your carbon footprint simply by switching the glasses in your house and office. For this, you need to find glass manufacturers in India who offer an eco-friendly line of glasses for residential and commercial use. Anatomy of glass Before knowing about how glass manufacturers in India can help reduce the carbon footprint, it’s important to know the manufacturing process behind making glass. So read on to know more about the process involving the manufacturing of glass. What are the Raw materials used to manufacture glass? The primary raw materials required to manufacture glass are sand, soda, limestone, clearing agents, colouring and glistening glass. Out of the following materials, glass sand is 75% of the entire composition of the glass. How is glass made? Believe it or not but glass is made from liquid sand. If you are looking to make glass just by heating sand in your backyard then let me tell you that it isn’t as easy as it sounds. To make the sand melt, you will need to heat glass at an extraordinarily high temperature somewhere around 1700-degree Celsius (3090-degree Fahrenheit). The glass manufacturing process involves the following five common steps: Batching of raw materials Melting the raw materials in the furnace Drawing the molten glass onto the tip bath Cooling of the molten glass in the annealing lehr Quality checks, automatic cutting and proper storage At AIS Glass, we only use high-quality materials to ensure that all our products are durable and aesthetically pleasing. Now, you’re probably wondering how glass manufacturers in India can help with reducing your carbon footprint. Here’s how! Role of glass manufacturers in India in reducing carbon footprint! If you are wondering how glass manufacturers in India can help reduce your carbon footprint then the answer to this question is simple. All you need to do is get uPVC frames for your house and offices, and fit them with high-quality, specially designed glass that helps you reduce your energy consumption. If you are thinking that finding such types of glasses will be hard, then you don’t need to fret a lot as leading glass manufacturers in India such as Asahi India Glass LTD (AIS Glass) have introduced glasses with Low E-range that are better than conventional glasses. The AIS Ecosense is a low-E, high-performance glass that is energy-efficient. This eco-friendly glass strikes the right balance between aesthetics and durability. It can block solar radiation and excessive light by reflecting infrared rays of the sun so the interiors are cool during the summer season. When coupled with eco-friendly frames made of uPVC it can significantly lower your electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint also. So, if you are keen on preserving the environment then glass manufacturing companies like AIS Glass can help you achieve your goals in no time! ← What are the different types of glasses for residential use? → What Are The Benefits of Green Tinted Glass?

Lena Berger, Aliya Biggs, Megan Barnett, Louise Sweeney and Oliver Metcalfe took part in a 5 week Psychology placement in Sri Lanka this summer. The week consisted of numerous workshops, such as how to work with mentally ill patients and how to teach English as a foreign language and involved working in the National Institute of Mental Health, the largest mental health facility in Sri Lanka. It fell to the volunteers to provide the only psychological therapy that these patients were likely to receive, and the type of this therapy varied depending on the ward they were placed in. For those patients on the acute wards and learning disability unit, therapy focused around art and handicrafts, improving gross and fine motor skills through creativity, and social skills from working in a group. Those in occupational therapy wards were more physically able, so activities focused more around physical games, singing and dancing. For the patients in the women’s geriatrics ward, activities were very different, focusing more on sensory stimulation, and trying to engage the patient in interactions Aliya Biggs said “Being allowed to work in this facility, and planning and implementing our own therapy was a great privilege. This type of experience could never be found in the UK, and I believe that the work of SLV here really does make a great difference to the patients’ lives.” Louise Sweeney added “My 5 weeks in Sri Lanka was a unique opportunity to gain experience of mental health in a completely different setting as well as the flexibility to run a range of sessions with special needs and youth teaching too. I learnt skills of lesson planning and the ability to use initiative and enthusiasm to run the most effective therapeutic activities. It's inspired me to work in international health and provided me with invaluable experience.”

Tif Sigfrids is thrilled to announce the gallery’s first solo exhibition of works by Jamie Chan at its New York City location at 75 East Broadway. Titled Gift Sets, the exhibition comprises new paintings and handmade artists books. Gift Sets will open on July 17th with a reception from 3 – 6 PM. The show remains on view during the gallery’s opening hours Friday and Saturday 11–6, and by appointment, through August 28th. A consistent theme running through the works included in Gift Sets is best culled from the paintings that Chan creates of post-its. Revolving around a motif taken from a 1991 animated romantic musical film, Beauty and the Beast, these works call to mind the sweetness and volatility characterizing the interior lives of adolescents and the alternate worlds of fairy tales and dreams. At the same time, the repetition of the motif of the beast with a rose makes us think about the labor of practicing a skill, of learning and ideation, including in the practice of painting. Chan’s paintings are like collections of small gestures, poses, and figures. A hand holding a nail, a hand holding a knife, a plump little tree, a contorted Cerberus: These motifs look as if they belong in the background of an early Netherlandish painting or in the margins of an illuminated manuscript. As allegorical figures they function like punctuation marks directing traffic. Chan mines the history of the Western canon in music, painting, and theater. But the alternate worlds she creates in her own works—the worlds within which these small gestures and figures direct our attention—are very much of her own time. Since 2014 Chan has been creating a series of handmade artists books (some of these made in collaboration with the artist Marley Freeman). These books incorporate pages of Crate and Barrel catalogues, illustrations from art history books, poems, fragments of correspondence, including remnants from past jobs at The Met and in various retail. Interspersed in-between and superimposed on top of these readymade elements are drawings and watercolors by Chan. As a sort of annotations for paintings, the books are literal tools for artmaking as well as artworks in their own right. Jamie Chan (b. 1984) is an artist from Los Angeles, now based in Brooklyn. She received her BFA from UCLA in 2006 and her MFA in painting from Bard in 2013. Her work has been shown at Ceysson et Bénétière in NYC, in an installation by Nancy Shaver at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and in project spaces across NYC and LA. In 2018, Chan coauthored with Leah Pires a text, published in 4Columns, about an exhibition of paintings shown inside this same Chinatown mall. Her writing has also appeared in the collection This Long Century Chan works in Art Education at the School of Visual Arts and is a member of Art Against Displacement.

The past year has been full of firsts for Amanda Kate. A debut single and album in late 2019 introduced her as a traditional country artist to watch, and she doubled down on that notion with a cover of “Someone Had to Teach You,” recorded by distinguished artists like George Strait, Wade Hayes and The Time Jumpers. More new music has followed, and success hasn’t been far behind; as she has a music video approaching 100,000 streams, a duet with Marty Raybon, and recently, released a twang-filled pep talk with her single “Buzzin’,” released in late September. Kate has accrued quite the resumé in the past year, so we caught up with her to get her thoughts on her success, “Buzzin’,” what listeners can expect from new music and more! Pro Country: The last time we talked, you had just released “Someone Had to Teach You” and were preparing the music video for “Healing When I Ride,” which is quickly approaching 100,000 views since its release. What do you think it is about that song, its video, and message that has allowed it to connect with listeners the way it has? Amanda Kate: I think the song has a gentleness about it that feels calming, but also very relatable when it comes to needing healing. Everyone goes through tough times, and although “riding” for me means horses, some people find healing in running, hiking, yoga or biking. There are so many physical outlets that help people heal, and I think that’s what people gravitate to with the song. Then of course the horse people totally relate. There’s a quote I read somewhere that said, “Something about the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man,” and that has never felt more true. PC: You released a cover of “The Old Rugged Cross,” featuring Marty Raybon of Shenandoah, in early August. Can you talk about what drew you to record the song and how Marty became involved in the project? What was it like for you to have Marty on the song? AK: I’ve been singing that song since I was really young in church, and I’ve always loved it so much. Marty had worked with a mutual friend of mine in the past, and when I was thinking of iconic country voices, I couldn’t imagine any other voice than his. Marty was a dream to work with; the kindest man I’ve ever met! We both have such a love for Jesus that it made creating this song such a beautiful moment! PC: You released your single “Buzzin’” in late September. Why did you feel “Buzzin’” was the right follow up to both “Someone Had to Teach You” and “The Old Rugged Cross”? AK: I just wanted something upbeat and fun. I was hoping to be performing it live a lot more this year, but it’s just a fun little country song that I get to go full-on twang with and I love it. PC: Can you talk about the inspiration behind “Buzzin’”? AK: I wrote this as a pep talk to myself, reminding everyone that even when life gets you down, you gotta keep on keeping on; keep buzzin’ to the top! PC: “Buzzin’” is a song about resilience and confidence. You mentioned it as a pep talk to yourself, what has the song meant to you? What do you hope listeners take away from it? AK: 100%. Doing music these days is really tough and takes a lot of resilience! I wanted to remind myself to never give up! I hope listeners remember to keep dreaming, even when the haters hate [laughs]. PC: You’re currently working on and writing new music. Can you talk about which point in the creative process you are right now? What can listeners expect to hear with your new music? AK: Yes, we actually have my next EP done, it’s all COUNTRY; twangy, fun, sassy and a total throwback to the 90s country we all love. PC: 2020 has altered most of the plans of artists so far. Of the things, you can control, what are your plans for the rest of the year and going into 2021? AK: Releasing more music, hopefully, some fun music videos and spending time with my family. I hope some live shows are in the mix, but I’ve learned to be careful with my expectations [laughs].

Every 4th page Is free Discounts :) There will also be a page with a successful application submission, a privacy policy and a 404 if we make a multipage page for free. $ 100 A discount When reapplying If I made a website for you before, then there are special conditions for you)) $ 200 Prepayment I’m sure you’re not that kind of person, but still because of other people who cheated and ordered the 1st screen, didn’t pay, and then resold it (regular freelancers who take an order, then write to me, pretending to be a customer and get a website concept for free) and customers who applied in the same way, did not pay anything, and then went to the newcomer, showed my work and asked me to continue in the same style for $5 ... as a result, they received not a website, but a "Frankinstein" which still did not work. ‍Prepayment is a forced measure, because doing the whole site in the hope that I will not be deceived is a bad idea, I tried it before, but now I have abandoned this approach forever. Because I'm tired of explaining to my wife why I'm not in the evenings, and then it turns out that I worked for free... ‍There is no reason not to trust me, I have been making websites for more than 10 years and so far you have not found a single negative review, here is evidence , it is obvious that I am never interested in spoiling my reputation for $200. I will tell you why each element is exactly where it is and looks exactly the way it looks (there will be a separate detailed presentation with pictures and lots of text). All decisions made during the development of the site will be justified, each of them will contribute to the achievement of the goal (sales, service orders, subscriptions, etc.), and not stuck "from the bulldozer" as most developers do. If suddenly you do not agree with me, everything is wrong and it cannot be corrected by editing, then I will return the prepayment. This has never happened to me before, but it can still happen. But if you suddenly change your mind about making a website, or there was a landing page, but it became a multi-pager, but you don’t want to pay extra, or completely change the task ... or something else that you can’t just take and fix with the current agreement and you don’t want to change it, then I will keep the deposit. Again, there have been no precedents yet, because a compromise can always be found. $ 200 Next step by step First, I make the 1st screen of the site , show it to you (while justifying all the decisions made), you approve it (we make adjustments if necessary), after which you pay $200. Next , I make a PC version of the site (this is a version for computers), when everything suits you again, you pay $200 , after which I make an adaptive (tablet and mobile versions (at the same time, you need to understand that there will be one site, it just adjusts for different screens and devices. After that, you pay the rest of the total amount , and I proceed to the final stage of development, as a result, you will receive an archive for uploading to the hosting, or I will upload everything there myself. In more detail, about how everything will happen when you order a site from me, you can read by clicking on this link . So if you need a website, I will be happy to help you!

To mark International Persons with Disabilities Day yesterday, Sport England has today announced a new partnership with Disability Rights UK (DRUK) to increase the number of disabled people playing sport by using their personal budgets to access sporting opportunities Sport England has awarded Disability Rights UK £791,171 of National Lottery funding to conduct a pilot of the scheme in conjunction with Cheshire, Leicester City and Norfolk Disabled People User Led Organisations (DPULOs) to develop a model to grow the number of disabled being active and playing sport, through working with health and social care professionals and sports providers. The project will focus on understanding the value and benefits of signing-off personal budgets for the individuals wanting to use their funds for sport and physical activity. The project will include a number of key stakeholders ranging from local government, health organisations, and sporting organisations, including Sport England and national governing bodies. Locally, the project will be delivered by DPULOs to support and encourage disabled people to access sport and physical activity, while gaining insight into the behaviours and attitudes of disabled people towards sport, and the triggers to playing more regularly through direct contact and follow-up with them. Lynne Turnball, Chief Executive Officer for Cheshire Centre for Independent Living, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Leicestershire Centre for Integrated Living, Equal Lives (Norfolk) and DRUK, thanks to valuable funding from Sport England. “The funding will allow partners to raise awareness with Health and Social Care colleagues of the importance of sport and exercise, as a way for disabled people to improve their wellbeing and also offer support to providers to encourage inclusive practices.” This partnership is part of Sport England’s wider National Lottery-funded ‘Take-up Programme’, working on a number of projects to increase the number of disabled people regularly playing sport. Although participation levels have increased, there still remains a significant imbalance between the number of disabled and non-disabled people playing sport. This project with DRUK is designed to change thinking around how disabled people can take up and play more sport. The outcome of delivery will provide further insight into the lives and needs of disabled people and has the scope to tackle issues of latent demand for people who would like to use their personal budgets to take part in sport regularly. Sport England Chair, Nick Bitel, said: “We are constantly striving to get more disabled people involved in sport, making it a practical lifestyle choice. Our partnership with Disability Rights UK will help us work nationally and locally with their 340 members’ organisations to try and encourage more disabled people into sport.” “This is an exciting opportunity for Sport England to work further with disability organisations; promoting sport and exercise as a way of meeting people’s support needs and ultimately getting more disabled people who would like to use a personal budget to regularly play sport.”

This might sound like an obvious question, but I’ve been asking it anyway. It gives me the opportunity to take a second look. So much is changing, taking a second look at the actual details is helping me see where the opportunities for real change actually are. Backstory: A lot of my life is either in front of a computer (email, video editing, writing, etc.), on the boards (tap dancing practice, rehearsal, etc.), or with people (the Table, coaching, speaking, performing, etc.). As kind of experiment, I’ve also been holding one-on-one online tap dance coaching sessions via Bluejeans video conferencing. As I take a step back and look at what is really different in my life today there isn’t much. I still sit at my computer, and practice on a board. I still teach one-on-one online lessons. What has changed, and has opened the opportunity for more change, is the kind of gatherings I’m involved in. I’m much more flexible with where I practice. The friends and family I’m in touch with is now more diverse. The kinds of performances that are available are totally new. Even The Table is online now. My daily routine has been broken wide open, too. In this moment – when the context upon which we base some of our fundamental frameworks shifts underneath us – we can take the opportunity to shift with it.

I love bleeding-edge tech! When I am not helping companies build amazing products or enhancing their UX, I enjoy time on the lake with my wife and daughters, or discovering a new whiskey. More posts by Chris Lusk. By Chris Lusk The Codelitt team was pleased to participate in the Re:Connect webinar this past June with a panel describing some foundational concepts in digital transformation in Commercial Real Estate with our presentation entitled “Digital Diagnostics: from Symptom to Solution” The panel discussion showcases three members of Codelitt’s leadership team speaking about the role of User Experience Research in identifying data driven pain points, the merits of off the shelf, hybrid, and custom solutions, and strategies for converting concepts from the abstract into tangible roadmaps to digital transformation. Our third section features Chris Lusk, Codelitt’s Director of Partnerships, discussing the process Codelitt employs when partnering with a company that has decided to build a custom solution, with specific emphasis on the importance of building a roadmap toward digital transformation. (transcript below) Hosted by Unissu, Re:Connect is the world's largest festival of innovation in real estate. Explore 200 sessions led by global thought leaders, all with the mission to inform your innovation and transformation strategies! Michael: The next section deals with what the process is like when a company is actively seeking a custom solution. So, we’re going to talk to Chris Lusk, Director of Partnerships here at Codelitt, he’s going to give us a breakdown of the steps we would take as far as our lab and build process in a custom dev space, so welcome Chris. Chris: Thank you Michael. Welcome everyone. So, yes, the first step that we take, it’s a process is what we refer to as a Lab. It’s how Codelitt goes about solving complex issues, it’s how we go about Building a solution. To put a lab into perspective, it's the thinking that occurs before-the-doing. Whereas the steps previously outlined today helped to define if a digital product is needed, a Lab will then define the scope, the effort, the timeline, the budget for building the solution. We internally refer to it as a roadmap for our clients to follow. Michael: So kind of transitioning from the concept driven to first into drawing the concept into application. So what’s the first step? Chris: We first need to define what stage of the product life cycle you are in. Are we talking about a brand new idea on the back of a napkin? Then let’s look at possibly an Ideation Lab or a Rapid Prototyping session. Is it something that’s a little more evolved and you have already taken steps towards defining the solution, or let’s say you have one of those solutions that is only solving 70% of your needs, let’s look at an MVP Lab. Maybe it’s an existing product in the MVP stage so we need to figure out Scalability and growth. Or perhaps it’s a mature product that is missing the mark due to UX issues or an old technology framework so we can look at doing labs around a UX or Tech Stack. But no matter really where we start, the outcome of any Lab is to define what is the focus and tell you how do we get to the next step, how do we solve those very specific problems that you’ve already defined. Michael: Well since we’re here at Unissu, let’s talk a little bit more about CRE and how that relates to a lab. Can you describe a typical scenario where you would use a lab in the commercial real estate/Proptech space? Chris: Yeah and we run these quite often, I feel like we’re the CRE pros, but thats just me being biased. The most common thing we see in the CRE space are companies who have multiple off-the-shelf products, right combined with something that may be custom, large or small. But they usually have a dozen or more subscriptions to various data sources, and the end users are typically brokers. Over the years they have layered in various digital products to solve one or two very specific problems, usually at the expense of process efficiencies. They spot an issue, they throw something at it. And really they’ve now grown to a point where they need to consolidate these environments. They’ve got to re-streamline if you will the processes again. They’ve got to start using their tech stack as a sales tool to close potentially more deals, retain more customers, and retain more brokers. This all typically leads to an MVP Lab, again it could be any sort of lab depending on where they’re at, but typically these are MVP labs where we give them a roadmap of exactly how do we solve 1 or 2 of those biggest headaches. Is it taking five or six environments and converting them into one, is it client retention, is it a revenue issue? That’s typically what we see in this space. Michael: Well lets run a little bit with that one, we have a handful of different kinds of labs that we offer but, lets run with the MVP lab, take us down that path. Chris: So the first step is a kickoff meeting, we take members of our senior management and stakeholders from the client and we dig into every aspect of your environment. Pre-Covid we would meet in person for a full day kickoff. Post-Covid, we hold these over Zoom, usually 1 or 2, 4 hour meetings. But I’m looking at the attendee list now, if anyone out there is from Fiji who would like us to attend one. We will gladly come visit you! Michael: I mean like, anywhere, anywhere is fine. Vincent - we can expense Fiji right? Chris: We’ve got the right person on the call to expense that right Vincent? Vincent: We’ll talk about that later. Chris: Alright cool, cool. But yeah, the purpose of an MVP Lab is to understand things like: What do your digital products look like today? What limitations are you facing within this specific environment that you’ve built? What are the top 1 or 2 issues that need to be addressed in order to increase efficiencies, increase the productivity, increase revenues, retain clients, retain brokers, etc? And sure, a custom built solution could solve all of these problems, but back to what Vincent was saying where do you start? That’s the purpose of an MVP Lab. It's important to view it as the minimum solution that will either generate revenue, cut those costs, increase the productivity, etc. But something that will impact the bottom line as fast as possible. As Vincent said, cost is the number one thing a company looks at. Michael: I mean, unless you have a blank check right? Chris: If anyone out there has a blank check, especially if you have a blank check and are sitting in Fiji, call me, my number is… But I mean seriously, even with a blank check, the journey to building a custom solution should start with some sort of planning and preparation session, and that is exactly what a Lab is. But those planning sessions are a lot more effective when you have an unbiased party peeking in. People who can call the baby ugly and really get to the root of what you are trying to solve. It’s user experience needs versus stakeholder wants, which is probably why Vicky is smiling off camera right now. Michael: Sorry I had never heard that expression before, so kind of continuing down the line with cost, you mentioned that typically there is going to a combination of a dozen or so existing off the shelf solutions, maybe some level of custom development integrated into the CRE space, or rather into the companies technology space. From a cost perspective, how do existing products fit into the strategy of an MVP lab? Chris: Well I think that you have to step back and no matter who you are working with, whether it’s Codelitt, another vendor, it could be your internal team - the mentality needs to be, “let’s not reinvent the wheel.” Again even if you have a blank check. An MVP Lab will help us better understand how much we can accomplish inside of your current environment. Back to cost being a factor. How much of your tech stack can be tweaked, within reason, to solve those 1 or 2 major issues? For example: How flexible are the API’s within your current solution, or those current environments? Can we take your current custom or off-the-shelf solution and expand its capabilities with a more comprehensive API infrastructure? Could this MVP be a machine layer, something with no user interface, that sits somewhere in the environment to automate repetitive tasks, to send data to other systems, automate reports, things like? Could a simple tweak in design, or the customer onboarding process, or the user experience solve the identified problems? And when a Build does take place, what are the other systems that it could potentially replace; how much money can we save building 1 system that replaces 3? And again, I know this phrase gets overused and distorted so maybe we can edit it out later. But that’s really the difference between a partner and a vendor. A vendor is happy to take your money and build what you tell them to, without questioning the practicality, the financial impact. While a Partner asks, “if this were our problem, with the resources or limitations that we have; We have real world limitations as well. How would we solve this problem? How would we build this solution?” And really we do that with labs, that’s kind of our answer to that question. We have the same constraints as everyone else, so we take those questions very seriously for sure. Michael: So if the lab is the response to that need, what is the final outcome like? Chris: So after we do a kickoff, this is really where the magic happens. It typically takes about a week or so. You have a dedicated project manager who brings the UXR and Development contacts together to define what the MVP should look like. In order to do that we need to know the grand scheme of things. In many cases we will also build “what would this look like to solve all the problems?” That’s the fun part, everyone likes to talk about solving all the problems. Where the real work happens is, if we know you as a client, we know what your cost constraints are, we know what your time constraints are, we will bring that team together to start really defining what an MVP should look like based on the challenges. they’ll start mapping out the project scope, the budget, the timelines. Depending on the size of the project, like I said it’s typically about a week to define and arrange this. There is constant back and forth. It’s not like we have a four hour meeting and hit you back up a week later. We try to be in touch with your team as much as possible. Because we want the plan that we present to you to be accurate, we know that typically people come to us because there are time constraints. And we don’t have meetings to just waste back and forth, so we want them to be accurate and we want the presentation meeting of course to be as concise as possible. Michael: Okay, so now that we’ve uncovered all the challenges, and we’ve got this kind of transparency, and consistent communication going on. The roadmap has been laid out? Is there a presentation? Chris: Yeah so, really once we take a week or so, however long it takes to really build out that MVP, now of course we’ve got to present it to you, and hopefully we’ve hit it. This is typically an hour or so, we lay out everything we uncovered again just reiterating that we’ve heard everything that the client needs and then we present to them essentially the path forward. It’ll tell them for the MVP Lab what steps it is going to take to build the solution. So we’ll define the scope and deliverables, the timelines, the budgets. The goal, of course, is to be as modular as possible, to give clients enough flexibility to craft an even tighter plan. It’s why we call it a roadmap. Because it’s a plan that a company can use, and some vendors may not tell you this, but we build these plans so that you have something tangible that you can then shop, to be very honest. You could hire Codelitt to build the entire solution, you could pick and choose components from that MVP roadmap that we’ve put together, you can build half, we can build half with some staff augmentation or project management or UX review. Again It can be used to shop another to other dev or UX shops to compare costs and timelines, or it’s something that you can use to bring it in-house, stress test, look and see if your team internally could build this roadmap that we’ve laid out. Again labs are just a really good way for a company, whether you’ve built or not, they’re a really good planning session and it's something that you can then use to decide do we want to build this ourselves, do we want to hire somebody. We try to give you as much flexibility and as much knowledge as possible Michael: So from here, really the only thing next to do is maybe shop it around, and hopefully build the solution?

Tanzania. Tanzania’s rapid economic progress since 1995 was rewarded with $ 1.1 billion in aid for 2001–02, an increase of more than a third. The money will be used for, among other things, health care and education. However, no aid was allocated to the autonomous region of Zanzibar, where the 2000 elections received harsh criticism. In January, around 40 people were killed on the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba when demanding new elections. The lenders’ pressure seemed to have worked, because in October the ruling party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and the Zanzibar locally strong Civic United Front (CUF) agreed to conclude peace and jointly draft new electoral laws. Election elections shall be held at the seats in Zanzibar’s local parliament that CUF refused to take. In July, the gold mine Bulyanhulu went into operation. It is estimated to produce over 10,000 kg per year. With a total production of over 30,000 kg, Tanzania becomes Africa’s largest gold producer after Ghana and South Africa. In March 2001, the CCM entered into an agreement with the main opposition party in Zanzibar – the United Civil Front – with the aim of ending the political violence on the semi-autonomous island around Zanzibar. The parties decided to set up a joint committee aimed at restoring calm and allowing the 2,000 who had fled to Kenya to return. In Dar es Salaam, in April, the first joint demonstration by the opposition was held in decades. The opposition called for reform of the constitution and the Labor Party called for a whole new constitution and the establishment of independent electoral commissions. Abbreviationfinder: lists typical abbreviations and country overview of Tanzania, including bordering countries, geography, history, politics, and economics. In July, a new large gold mine – the Bulyanhulu mine, was opened. It hit the country with Africa’s third largest gold producer. The Bulyanhulu mine was purchased by Canadian Barrick Gold Corporation, which invested $ 280 million. US $ in it and then planned to extract 400,000 ounces of gold annually. In November, Mkapa in Arusha, together with the presidents of Uganda and Kenya, set up a regional East African parliament and a regional court. Observers pointed out that the agreement between Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya was a first step towards the creation of a common market between the three countries with a total population of 80 million. people. A month later, the British press reported on the sale of a military air control system to Tanzania at a cost of 28 million. £. The trade sparked protests, arguing that the system was redundant, but the British government approved the sale anyway. A World Bank report was leaked indicating that a similar civil system could be acquired for one-eighth of the price. At the beginning of 2002, National Bank Governor Doaud Ballali declared that Tanzania’s national economy had made great progress in the previous seven years. Acc. Ballali, inflation had dropped from 30% in 1995 to 4.7% in 2002, and the economy now grew by over 5% annually – above the African average. In the financial sector, the number of banks has grown substantially – from 1 in 1993 to 20 at the beginning of 2002. In addition, 12 other non-bank finance houses were added. In January 2004, Zanzibar celebrated the 40th year of its independence while accusing the United Civil Front of misusing the island’s economy. The daily average income on the island equals 60 US cents. In March, Tanzania entered into a customs union with Kenya and Uganda. The three countries have a combined 90 million. population and an annual GDP of 25 billion. US $. In April, Tanzania celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Zanzibar-Continental Association. President Mkapa took the opportunity to call for the preservation of the unit at all costs. Shortly before, Zanzibar’s autonomous government had declared that by the end of the year the island would introduce its own flag and cease using Tanzania. The autonomous government insisted that the constitution allowed the island to “have its own identity”. Population 2001 According to Countryaah, the population of Tanzania in 2001 was 38,450,209, ranking number 31 in the world. The population growth rate was 2.790% yearly, and the population density was 43.4074 people per km2.

I’m 44 years of age, been painting and creating since my early 20’s. I’m a painter of glass, canvas or anything attractive to paint on. I’ve had high school classes but basically am self taught. I guess you’d consider my work as contemporary abstract with a hint of Impressionism? I’m not exactly sure, I dropped out from Art Appreciation in college. Art is therapy to me and if someone identifies with my work, then “Boom”, steak dinner! Someday I’d like to make pizza surrounded by my art and feed people’s faces. That would be rad. Life is short, don’t take it serious but take it serious enough. Peace

Volkswagen's massive electric car offensive aims to outsell Tesla and there are ways in which VW intends to do this. Find out how VW intends to outsell Tesla in the video presented above. There's no denying the fact that VW has its sights set on an electric-car future. To date, no other automaker has shown such a high level of commitment to even outside of Tesla, yet Volkswagen still doesn't have a dedicated electric car available to buy today, so looking into the future and predicting sales are rather near impossible. More VW versus Tesla VW CEO says automaker can 'probably overtake' Tesla 'at some Stage' Tesla Model 3 teardown finds Tesla 6 years ahead of VW & Toyota However, VW has announced that it intends to sell 28 million all-electric cars by 2028 and that's a very ambitious figure. We don't doubt that VW could sell that many EVs (in fact, we hope it does and even sells more), but there's just no track record of VW selling EVs in massive volumes to go by, so we really must wait to see what the future brings. VW does intend to compete with Tesla in several segments. The upcoming VW ID.3 will basically be head-on competition for the Tesla Model 3. The next model, called the ID.4, will go up against the Tesla Model Y. There's additional intel in the video above, so check it out and then let us know your take in comments. Will VW actually sell more electric cars than Tesla in the future? If so, when? Video description via Business Insider on YouTube: Although Tesla reigns as king of the EV market thanks to its Model 3, Volkswagen has a plan in place to outsell them in the next few years. The automaker has set its sights on becoming a major name in the EV game, investing $37 billion in its electric car program. Between its production plans, new lineup of plug-in vehicles, and $2 billion marketing plan for emissions-free cars, this car giant could easily be on its way to outselling Elon Musk.

More than half consider local celebrities more relevant than international ones, with KSA residents showing greater affinity towards them. Arab social media star Mohammed Tarek has voiced the character of Aquaman in the forthcoming animated action-adventure ‘DC League of Super-Pets’. It is common to see brands roll out global campaigns to promote their products and services. While some brands like to localize their campaigns, many ride on a powerful brand name or a global celebrity to create an impact. YouGov’s latest survey shows more than half of UAE and KSA residents (55%) agree with the statement “Global brand campaigns create relevant content that resonates with my life locally.” An additional 52% believe campaigns run by global brands speak to issues that are relevant to their local lifestyle. Young adults between 25-34 years in both countries are more likely to hold a positive view of global brand campaigns (at 63%) as compared to the other age groups. Even though there is resonance with global campaigns, data suggests there is a need for localizing the content to create impact. Almost as many of those who feel global campaigns resonate with them also said content created locally is more impactful to them than international content (54%). Once again, we see a higher agreement among those aged 25-34 than the other age groups (at 59%). The same is true for high-income individuals, earning $2,666+ (60%) and working individuals (58%). In the UAE, Emiratis are more likely than people of other nationalities to say they find local content more impactful (63% Emiratis vs 54% ex-pats), while in KSA both Saudis and ex-pats are equally likely to hold this view (54% Saudis vs 53% ex-pats). Celebrity endorsement can play a role in bridging the gap between local and global, however, the level of influence varies according to geography. In general, local celebrities resonate better across the region with 52% of residents in UAE and KSA agreeing, “Local celebrities are more relevant to them than international celebrities”. Furthermore, 49% in both countries tend to follow more local than global celebrities on social media. Comparatively, resonance with local celebrities is more pronounced among KSA residents and they show greater affinity and engagement with local celebrities as compared to UAE residents. The data suggests that celebrity endorsements have different values in different markets and understanding nuances is imperative for a successful brand campaign.

Paul in examining if the message of the Gospel has reached Israel, offered up four questions and we take up our notes now to examine the third: It’s not is it, that God has rejected His people? (Rom 11:1) “Yes we heard and yes we understood but we couldn’t believe because God rejected us beforehand. We couldn’t believe even if we wanted to.” Once again Paul’s answer demands the negative: of course the Jews have not been rejected. Here people are quick to point out that the seven thousand saved are the believing remnant of Israel and Paul being one of them shows that God has an Israel within Israel but Paul isn’t defending the Israel within Israel—he’s praying for the salvation of Unbelieving Israel. Paul, speaking as a Jew shows himself as proof that the Jews have not been rejected for the gospel is available to them. God foreknew his people and just as in Elijah’s day when the man stood thinking that he was alone as he pled against Israel, God pointed out that there were seven thousand (a perfect remnant you can read it) of men who haven’t bowed the knee to Baal. Elijah wasn’t alone but there was a perfect counting of men who stood with Elijah and thus continuing to preserve the nation. This remnant remains such by God’s grace and mercy—He has not wiped out the Jews but rather is preserving them for a specific, as of this point, unmentioned purpose. And this believing portion holds on and the rest were partially hardened so as to stumble.

In a dramatic moment, Sen. John McCain today came back from surgery and the war hero lectured his colleagues about playing politics. Then he, er, kind of played politics. With his vote today, (and Vice President Pence breaking a 50-50 tie) the Republicans were able to set the stage for debate on whatever legislation they may want in their largely unfocused but determined effort to erase Obamacare, despite the potential of having millions of people losing their health insurance as a result. McCain, indeed, is a heroic man, and he has not indicated whether he would support the GOP bills in a future vote. But the real GOP heroes on this day were Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who voted their conscience and against their colleagues for even continuing the process. While President Trump grumped about their votes, Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat called their collective actions acts of political courage, according to the Associated Press. Collins and Murkowski have expressed concerns about deep Medicaid cuts in the GOP bill and have called for bipartisan legislation, according to AP. Of all the reactions today, the American Federation of Teachers, which represents 1.6 million employees, had one of the most significant – and telling – comments about the healthcare bill: what McCain receives, and deserves, in healthcare, and questions surrounding millions of other Americans. “Sen. John McCain is an American war hero who will get, and should get, the best healthcare our country can provide, ” the AFT said. “The debate about healthcare should be about ensuring all Americans have that same standard of care. That doesn’t start by repealing Obamacare.” “As a result, we are deeply disappointed by the motion to proceed on a bill that would take away healthcare from at least 22 million people, hurt the vulnerable an others with pre-existing conditions.” – Joe Cantlupe

CLEVELAND ó If there’s a silver lining to this year’s high gas prices, maybe it’s that more people will stay closer to home and enjoy local events such as the Cleveland Spring Fest. “It’s going to be a big issue this summer,” Alfred Anderson said, speaking for many people who could be putting long-range trips on hold. “The sky’s the limit on gas.” Anderson, a Freightliner employee, brought his family from Salisbury to the Cleveland Spring Fest, and one of the first places they stopped was at the horse rides being offered by Happy Trails Farm, which rescues abused animals and brings them back to health. Caleb Anderson, 10, rode a paint named Frisco. Moments earlier, 8-year-old Nicole Carina of Harmony took her first ride ever on a rescued palomino named Pal. What did she like about sitting tall in the saddle? “Everything,” she said. Asked to elaborate, Nicole scolded the questioner: “I already told you ó everything.” And what wasn’t to like about the town of Cleveland’s Fifth Annual Spring Fest? The event grows every year and serves as a showcase for the Town Park, whose first phase features trails, shelters, picnic tables, a stage, ballfield, a playground and wide open spaces. In its short history, the Spring Fest has built a reputation for its nighttime fireworks; evening hot-air balloon launches, when the wind and weather cooperate; the Walk Balloon, which allows kids to play inside a hot-air balloon on its side; an evening balloon (moon) glow; music; dancers; vendors; rides; food; and non-profits. This year’s additions included an Army National Guard’s helicopter flying in Saturday afternoon, the Happy Trails Farm horse rides, fresh food and produce from Wetmore Farms and McLaughlin’s Farmhouse and live music by the group, Divided by Four. Mary Frank “Frankie” Fleming-Adkins, a town commissioner and chief organizer for the event, said it excites her that non-profit organizations can use the Spring Fest to get their message out and raise money at the same time. The non-profit groups included, for example, Cleveland area churches and schools, the Mount Ulla Preservation Society, Cleveland Community Fire Department, U.S. Army recruiters and the West Rowan Neighborhood Center Advisory Council. Pat and Bill Smith’s Happy Trails Farm sold horse rides to help raise money toward feed and veterinarian bills for their mission of saving abused animals, especially horses. Pat Smith remembered how Pal, the palomino, looked like a dinosaur when he was rescued because his head was bigger than the rest of his emaciated body. Back to complete health now, Pal proved to be one of the more popular rides Saturday. Laura Watson, a West Rowan High junior who manned the Wetmore Farms booth Saturday, said she liked the Spring Fest because it was family-oriented. She sold plenty of cantaloupes and strawberries, too. “It’s good to see a lot of people from Cleveland come out and show some support,” said Geordan Sledge, a 17-year-old junior firefighter. The Cleveland Fire Department was raising money throughout the day for the families of Salisbury firefighters Justin Monroe and Victor Isler Sr., the men who died in the March 7 fire at Salisbury Millwork. “It’s all a brotherhood,” Cleveland firefighter Matthew Munsey said. “We do what we can because they would do the same for us.” Mae Wood and Betty Click happily sunned themselves Saturday afternoon while kids all around them rolled down the grassy hill toward the stage, where the Hawaiian dance troupe Nani Tutu ‘E performed. “I like it (Spring Fest) because it’s for the kids,” Wood said. Fleming-Adkins was thrilled with the early crowds Saturday afternoon. Spring Fest always tends to become more crowded after 5 p.m. Many people, including Wood and Click, tend to come at lunchtime, leave and return in the evening for the fireworks and other entertainment.

Within the foreword to her e-book A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century, the historian Barbara W. Tuchman provided a warning to individuals with simplistic concepts about what life was like within the medieval world, and what that may say about humanity as a complete: You assume you realize, however you haven’t any thought. The interval, which spans roughly 500 to 1500, presents some issues for individuals making an attempt to craft uncomplicated tales. “No age is tidy or product of entire material, and none is a extra checkered material than the Center Ages,” Tuchman wrote. Historians, she famous, have disagreed mightily on primary info of the period: how many individuals there have been in numerous elements of Europe, what they ate, how a lot cash that they had, and whether or not conflict deaths meant society was overpopulated with ladies, or childbirth deaths meant it was overpopulated with males. What’s much more sophisticated is figuring out the character of life—how nicely completely different sorts of individuals lived, the standard of familial bonds, what individuals did to occupy their time and amuse themselves, how they considered their lives. Draw broad, assured conclusions at your individual peril. Tuchman’s warning was prescient, if not particularly nicely heeded. Her e-book was printed in 1978 and received the Nationwide Guide Award for Historical past, however within the practically half century since, the Center Ages have been a typical hobbyhorse for individuals of all political persuasions who suspect modernity may be main us down the primrose path, particularly because the web has change into a extra central and inescapable factor of each day life. Our ancestors of the distant previous will be invoked in conversations about practically something: They supposedly labored much less, relaxed extra, slept higher, had higher intercourse, and loved higher diets, amongst different issues. Their purported habits are used as proof of latest folly, but in addition of future chance. Issues may very well be higher; in spite of everything, they’ve been earlier than. The issue is that these assertions about our wonderful historical past normally don’t fairly take a look at—they are usually primarily based on misunderstandings, disputed or outdated scholarship, or outright fabrications way back handed off as historic report. However that doesn’t cease individuals from recurrently revisiting the concept, counterintuitive although it might be, that some elements of life have been meaningfully higher for individuals who didn’t have antibiotics or refrigeration or little iPhone video games to play to stave off boredom. What, precisely, is so irresistible a few return to the Center Ages? To untangle precisely what’s going on right here, let’s use a latest instance of the phenomenon. A number of weeks in the past, an oft-cited historic trope made the rounds as soon as once more, totally on Twitter. The upshot: Medieval peasants labored much less, had extra free time, and have been assured extra holidays with their household than you. The tweet, from the author Azie Dungey, was massively widespread—it racked up 127,000 likes—and he or she adopted it up with an evidence of her intent: “We give much more labor to extend another person’s wealth than in occasions previous. We typically work for much longer hours. Now we have far fewer holidays and occasions of neighborhood festivity,” she wrote. “The concept that that is regular is totally improper and albeit outrageous.” Dungey went on to quote her supply: The Overworked American, a 1991 e-book by the sociologist Juliet Schor. Schor’s e-book, a greatest vendor and traditional of its style, could very nicely be the origin story for a way so many individuals in any other case uninvolved in medieval historical past got here to know and share this explicit factoid. In it, she cites a then-recent estimate by Gregory Clark, a medievalist and financial historian at UC Davis, who pegged the typical variety of workdays per yr in medieval England at about 150. Trendy Individuals work extra—about 250 days a yr, when you work 5 days every week and get federal holidays off. This sort of historic quotation makes for a really compelling machine: The circumstances of recent labor can really feel rigid and alienating, and that’s as a result of, for a lot of employees, they’re. If even medieval peasants—most of whom carried out compelled labor as feudal serfs—labored fewer hours and received extra trip days than you do, then perhaps you shouldn’t accept no matter your boss thinks you deserve. Schor, an enormously well-regarded scholar, used this concept in a lot the identical means that progressives on social media now are inclined to—to not assert that medieval life general was paradise for the decrease lessons, however to focus on a contemporary absurdity by way of juxtaposition with an period that individuals have a tendency to consider as unambiguously depressing. The factor about historical past, although, is that a lot of our understanding of the previous isn’t settled reality. Clark not believes that his estimate of 150 days, made early in his profession, is correct. “There’s an affordable controversy happening in medieval financial historical past,” Clark instructed me. He now thinks that English peasants within the late Center Ages could have labored nearer to 300 days a yr. He reached that conclusion by inspecting the chemical composition of fossilized human stays, in addition to by way of proof of the sorts of products that city peasants particularly had entry to. These elements counsel that they might have lived extra materially luxurious lives—eaten far more meat and different animal merchandise, particularly—than normally estimated, suggesting that that they had greater incomes than could be doable on the period’s frequent each day pay charges in the event that they didn’t work most days of the yr.. Internationally and all through human historical past, poor populations not often devour a lot meat and dairy. That’s to not say that the imaginative and prescient of historical past on which Schor’s, and in flip Dungey’s, level depends is conclusively false. Clark and his colleagues have revised their estimates upward, however the college of thought his earlier numbers belonged to nonetheless has many educational supporters, who typically base their estimates of how a lot peasants labored on data of per-day pay charges and annual incomes. “This different view is that they have been fairly poor, however they have been poor form of voluntarily, as a result of they didn’t like work and didn’t need to do quite a lot of work,” he instructed me. Maybe these teams of long-dead individuals have been poor and lazy and happier for it. Or the discrepancies could have one other clarification. It’s doable, for instance, that peasants have been generally paid a part of their wages in one thing moreover exhausting foreign money, which can clarify the place all that meat of their diets got here from. Proper now, nobody actually is aware of. You possibly can dedicate your life to determining an issue, uncover troves of recent info, and nonetheless not find yourself with any simple solutions. None of this makes for an particularly good tweet, however it’s a stumbling block that you simply hit time and again when making an attempt to tease out pop-historical beliefs about medieval life. The period resists surety: Throughout that point in Europe—and these references are virtually at all times made to Europe—the vast majority of individuals, together with nearly all peasants, have been illiterate. Detailed data plotted the lives of royalty, the Aristocracy, and vital non secular figures, however there are comparatively few main sources that describe the day-to-day existences of normal working stiffs. For those who can’t learn or write, you may’t even preserve a diary that somebody may discover 1,000 years later. This, Clark mentioned, implies that historians must do much more subjective interpretation of medieval life than is required for post-Enlightenment eras of historical past. The need of interpretation is handy for anybody trawling for a very good historic anecdote to show some extent—you may store round and doubtless discover one thing that fits no matter opinion you’ve already shaped. The medieval interval’s huge messiness aids on this grab-bag dynamic, in keeping with Eleanor Janega, a medieval historian on the London College of Economics. As a result of there was nobody dominating empire that overwhelmed all the things round it, as had been the case throughout earlier durations of Greek and Roman domination, European life diverse mightily from area to area and throughout the age’s 1,000-year span. That stage of heterogeneity makes the interval exhausting to show and exhausting to study; it’s a void in most individuals’s understanding of humanity, ready to be stuffed. “It permits individuals to make their very own medieval mythology and cling to that,” Janega instructed me. “They’re simply form of navigating on vibes.” Individuals additionally are inclined to convey loads of fashionable biases to the desk, even once they’re not looking for expedience. That is notably vital when making an attempt to debate medieval work, Janega mentioned. The clear delineations that individuals assume between work and private life simply aren’t notably tidy for peasants doing agrarian labor. “They’re considering of those individuals as having, like, a 9-to-5 job, such as you’re a contracted worker with a wage and also you get trip days,” she instructed me. “The factor about having a break day is like, nicely, the cows ain’t gonna milk themselves.” So whereas individuals are right that European peasants celebrated many extra communal holidays than fashionable Individuals, in lots of circumstances, that simply meant they weren’t anticipated to do a selected set of duties for his or her lord. Minding the animals, crops, and themselves by no means actually stopped. Their holidays weren’t precisely an extended weekend in Miami—in spite of everything, they didn’t actually have weekends. There have been, in fact, another apparent downsides to medieval life. An enormous chunk of the inhabitants died earlier than the age of 5, and for individuals who made it out of childhood, the percentages of seeing your sixtieth birthday weren’t nice. There wasn’t any operating water or electrical energy, and there was a really actual chance that mercenaries may at some point present up and kill you as a result of your feudal lord was beefing with another lord. Though the need to rebalance work and life is mostly categorized by fashionable Individuals as a progressive purpose, related historic gadgets are ceaselessly used to reactionary (and, at occasions, similarly viral) ends. If a grand craving for a wonderful and largely imaginary previous feels a tad acquainted, it may be as a result of right-wingers are inclined to deploy cherry-picked factoids concerning the Center Ages—and, to be truthful, mainly each different period of historical past—as an argument to Make Western Civilization Nice Once more. Some individuals assume the distant previous appears best not as a result of they’re sick of their commute, however as a result of they’re sick of pluralistic society and need to be extra enthusiastically commemorated as white Christians. This sort of historic hang-up doesn’t match neatly onto anyone a part of the American political spectrum—or into anyone a part of historical past. Trendy individuals might need seized on the Center Ages particularly up to now few years, however Janega identified that the mindset of eager to return to higher days is in actual fact fairly medieval itself. In Europe, individuals’s lives have been ordered by the Church, and Christianity is a linear faith. “The way in which they thought concerning the world is that we’re in a relentless strategy of getting additional and additional away from the Backyard of Eden, when all the things was ‘pure’ and superb and good,” she mentioned. American life is much less non secular, however it’s no much less obsessive about how issues change over time, and particularly between generations. And many fashionable individuals have completely rational causes to query the character of progress—whether or not the web does extra hurt than good, whether or not companies have collected an excessive amount of energy, whether or not local weather change will be halted earlier than it immiserates us all. “There’s this wonderful impulse to assume perhaps we’re all on the improper observe,” Clark mentioned. He and Janega are each sympathetic to these vulnerable to rooting round within the historic report in the hunt for higher methods to think about the long run—you most likely received’t discover many historians who assume that the previous has nothing to supply in our pursuit to know ourselves. The trope endures primarily as a result of it’s helpful. Individuals have a tough time believing that one thing is feasible if they’ll’t see proof of idea. Medieval historical past, with its 1,000-year span and large selection, is filled with ideas. For those who’re searching for a imaginative and prescient of historical past the place individuals have been typically peaceable and contented, although, you may need to test in with societies exterior of the Center Ages. Maybe search for a bunch of individuals not perpetually engaged in siege warfare. “Medieval peasants are a bizarre one to go to, as a result of, you realize, they have been rebelling consistently,” Janega famous. “Why are they storming London and burning down the Savoy Palace, if this can be a group of happy-go-lucky, easy people who actually love the way in which issues are?”
