. Here's a before and after view of the area we cleared today: The view back up the hill gives us a sense of progress now: We departed just as some rain started, leaving a big fire going, which will hopefully still be burning in 2010 when we return... Mike Thursday, 31 December 2009 Last day coppicing in 2009. Wednesday, 30 December 2009 Rain in the woods It's been a wet week so far, and we stayed at home today, catching up on things and sharpening the chainsaws. Yesterday we had a group from Butterfly Conservation come to help, and a good crowd turned up despite the weather - they were rewarded with a dry-ish morning, but we packed up at lunchtime when the rain started properly. Here's a few of them at teabreak time: Earlier in the week I spent some time working in a ditch again... but I have now at least cleared everything we need to alongside the barn nextdoor: We're leaving most of the brash to rot to improve the habitat there. Let's hope we get some better weather in the next few days... Mike Sunday, 27 December 2009 More Coal Tits Before starting work in the wood today we went and topped up the bird feeder again. The birds seem to munch through it pretty fast, but I guess they don't know for sure we're coming to top it up, so they just eat all they can to get them through the winter. Anyway, this time it was brighter, so I got some better pics: Back in Sweep Wood we felled some chestnut, clearing spaces for work we're planning for the upcoming volunteer visit. Here's a before and after of some of them: We also built a couple more log racks and caught up on splitting some of the logs from trees I'd felled on Thursday. We're trying to figure out where we should stop this winter, and work towards that point... Mike Friday, 25 December 2009 Coal Tits at the bird feeder I was in the wood on my own yesterday, as Tracy had a cold. I spent a few hours felling some smaller trees in Sweep Wood (didn't want to try anything complicated while working alone), but also found time to go and top up the bird feeder back in Chestnut Coppice. A good job too - it was nearly empty! I filled it and settled in about 15m away to see who came to eat - and was rewarded by several Coal Tits within two minutes! It was overcast, so there wasn't enough light for great pictures, but here's what I got: Walking back I found this weird fungi growing on some dead wood. Not sure what it is, but it was jelly-like: And finally, back at home, here's what happens when it rains, seeing as the drains are blocked up by sand: That's all for now, we're back in the woods most days in the coming week though... Mike Wednesday, 23 December 2009 Woodland archaeology A few weeks ago we had David Brown, of the South East Woodland Archaeology Forum, come and visit Sweep Wood and Chestnut Coppice (and other surrounding woods) to look at the archaeological features. There were numerous banks and ditches, but the really intriguing find was what we thought was a ditch running through Sweep Wood: In fact, it's an ancient trackway, and where the road turns a corner (just out of sight in the above photo), it must have gone straight on in the past. Tracy's also been busy with the metal detector, digging up various items such as this part from some agricultural machinery: and also this mixing implement: We're looking forward to find out more about the archaeology over the coming year, with David hopefully visiting again. You can read articles from David in the SWOG newsletters, the October issue has some info on woodland trackways in it. Mike Tuesday, 22 December 2009 A quick update... Just a quick update on our progress. We've now got two straight weeks in the wood, bar a couple of days to rest and visit family. Today was a pleasant change - sunny all day, and the temperature up a few degrees. Not sure it will stay like this though... After the coming two weeks I've not got much more time off work, so we're currently figuring out what we can finish in the time remaining and trying to make sure all the loose ends are dealt with. To that end, I spent most of yesterday and today splitting logs, and now there are some nicely filled racks: These are from the chestnut Tracy's been felling on the past few visits - she's not so quick at the splitting, so that's my job, and now I've finally caught up with all the trees she'd felled! The splitting is pretty hard work, but well worth it as the wood can season properly over the coming year now. While I was doing that, Tracy was roping and felling several Hornbeam stems, creating this clear area: Hornbeam has a surprising amount of brash on it, this is just from one smallish stem: The next task is to continue to clear the area next to our neighbour's barn (see earlier picture) - we don't want to leave trees that might grow to be a problem there. After that we need to take a look at the border trees (Holly and Hornbeam) and decide which to fell. We'll leave some, but at least half need to come out to let light in for regrowth of the coppiced trees and ground flora. We're wondering whether to restore a hedge on the boundary - there was one there many years ago. We've also got another visit from Butterfly Conservation volunteers coming up, so we're planning what work should be done on that day, making sure it will fit in with our plan for the remaining time we have. Mike Sunday, 20 December 2009 Don't argue with a Defender... Modern cars have crumple zones and impact-absorbing bumpers. Land Rover Defenders have a steel girder. Here's what happens you slide a Renault Megane down an icy hill into a (stationary) Defender: You can't see it easily, but the Renault's radiator also broke, spilling the coolant all over the road. The Defender on the other hand... We'll still get it fixed, hopefully on the other guy's insurance, but it was nice to be able to drive away afterwards and carry on with our day in the wood as normal. There's still a bit of snow lying in the wood: but it didn't hinder our work. We've got another Husqvarna 346XP chainsaw now, as we decided the 570 really was a bit too heavy for coppicing work (though it's excellent for the tougher jobs). As I had the first 346XP and the 570 from new, it was Tracy's turn this time. See if you can spot the new one below... Mike Friday, 18 December 2009 A colder week in the wood It was great to have some colder weather this week in the wood - makes a nice change from the wind and rain of a few weeks ago! Included in this post are a couple of videos of birds, a video of firewood processing, and various pics of the work we've been doing. Let's start with the frost (we've not had much snow here yet, despite the rest of the southeast getting plenty). Because parts of the wood are in permanent shade at this time of year the frost just accumulates for days on end. We took advantage of the frost to go and get a load of firewood for one of our customers - the ground was rock hard, making getting in and out of the wood easy. On the way up the wayleave we encountered these two pheasants, who didn't seem too worried by the land rover, giving me plenty of time to photograph them: Note - that isn't snow on the grass in the track, just accumulated frost! With the cold weather we thought we ought to set up our bird feeder in the same place we did last year. It's hung on a chain to prevent the squirrels getting it out of the tree: Next was the firewood. Here's the video I promised - I made a similar one some time ago, but this time it's of one of the new large log stacks and using the 28" bar on the chainsaw: Back in Sweep Wood the coppicing is carrying on OK. I spent most of this week catching up on splitting logs, which is basically turning piles like this: into this: This will let them season, ready for burning in a year's time. I also made a stool for a friend at work to use as a present for someone. The recently felled Chestnut had small splits inside it, so I cut a chunk off an Ash tree that blew down some time ago, so has had chance to dry out. I'm hoping to get an update in a year or so to see if the stool developed any splits! Meanwhile, Tracy's been working hard further down the hill, and has cleared a fair sized gap in the Chestnut and Sycamore down there: We had some good opportunities to photograph and video birds as well this week. The Robin is tamer than ever - here he is eating some dried chestnuts that I chopped up for him: This time I got a video of him as well: I also got a video of a male and female Blackbird, but they're not as tame so it's just a short one: There were lots of small birds in the trees at the edges of the wood, such as this Nuthatch on a bit of dead Cherry: Up at the top of a birch tree were several Blue Tits: and in this picture another bird as well - I thought it might be a young Goldcrest, but I'm not sure now: Anyway, that's this week in the wood. IF we get any significant snow I'll be sure to get some pictures. All we have at present down near our house is this: Mike

. Hematological Pathology programs in Canada will adopt CBD in July 2022. Thus residents entering Hematological Pathology. Program application language: English Thank you for your interest in the Postgraduate Education program in the Department of Hematological Pathology at The University of Toronto. This is the one of the largest Hematological Pathology residency programs Hematological Pathology residency training. The very large research establishment and strong academic program provide a supportive environment for learning and enquiry in all aspects of Hematological Hematological Pathology, which is accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Over 20 staff hematological pathologists at multiple sites are involved in resident education. These sites include: The Hospital for Sick Children, Mount Sinai Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Michael Garron Hospital, The University Health Network, Trillium Health Partners, LifeLabs and St. Joseph’s Health Centre. Each of these sites has particular strengths and allows the program as a whole to offer residents experience in all areas of Hematological Pathology practice. Visit our website at Hematological Pathology: Applicants providing evidence of high academic achievement, a demonstrated commitment to hematological pathology in particular, and evidence of research or similar academic potential in the CaRMS application file will be prioritized for further consideration. Successful applicants will be able to further elaborate their achievements at the time of interviews. Upon completion of training, a resident is expected to be a competent specialist in Hematological Pathology capable of assuming a consultant’s role in the specialty. The resident must acquire a working knowledge of the theoretical basis of the specialty, including its foundations in science and research, as it applies to medical practice. The intent of a Hematological Pathology training program is to ensure that specialists in Hematological Pathology have the competence to act as consultants to clinicians with respect to appropriate investigation, diagnosis and monitoring of disorders of the blood cells, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and hemostasis. The resident is expected to be competent in all aspects of organizing and running a transfusion medicine service as well as to be competent in laboratory management issues of blood and blood product procurement and issuing. The resident will have a broad experience in both clinical and laboratory practice. The resident will understand the needs of laboratory Hematology in an adult, pediatric and community setting. Applicants providing evidence of high academic achievement, a demonstrated commitment to hematological pathology hematological pathology will not be considered further. Other candidates will be ranked based on the scores of their application (50%) and interview (40%) and general fit with the program (10%). Final ranks will be determined solely by the aggregate score as outlined above. Review team composition : Our review team is composed of the program director, site directors, senior hematological pathology resident and designated faculty members. Average number of applications received by our program in the last five years : 51 - 200 Average percentage of applicants offered interviews : 0 - 25 % Interview format : We routinely accommodate requests to re-schedule interviews for applicants. This residency program is for 4 years. Program length of training does not exceed the Royal College or College of Family Physicians of Canada standard. Hematological Pathology is a four year program. The four year program is structured to meet the requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Starting in July, 2022, all PGY1 residents in Hematological Pathology residency training programs throughout Canada will implement a Competence By Design (CBD) curriculum format. This is a Competency Based Medical Education system instituted by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. CBD will mainly reflect changes in the way residents are coached, assessed and promoted throughout their residency. Under CBD, the residency is divided into four stages: Transition to Discipline, Foundations of Discipline, Core of Discipline, and Transition to Practice The first stage for residents is Transition to Discipline (TTD), which will include an orientation Hematological Pathology. Foundations of Discipline (FOD), the second stage of the continuum of residency education, is when the basics are taught, learned, assessed, and demonstrated. Core of Discipline (COD) is the third stage of the continuum of residency education and is the longest stage of training. During this stage, the resident will complete various Hematological Pathology rotations to gain competence in the diagnosis and monitoring of disorders of blood cells, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and hemostasis. It is anticipated that in the future the specialty exam will be administered near the end of the Core stage. The fourth and final stage of residency education is Transition to Practice (TTP), which focuses on ensuring residents’ confidence and competence to practice within their discipline. This stage occurs after the completion of the RC exams to allow the resident some flexibility to complete research projects and rotations of particular interest. Hematological Pathology Research The resident will be expected to undertake a research project under the supervision of a faculty member. The research project can be at the basic science or clinical laboratory level. There are extensive opportunities for research within the department. Academic Program Seminars and an organized teaching program supplement residency training. Centralized and hospital-based seminars and rounds are held regularly, as well as graduate and joint interdepartmental seminars which residents are encouraged to attend. An academic half-day each week is an integral part of the program.. The university division of Hematopathology has staff and facilities at Mount Sinai Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, The University Health Network, The Hospital for Sick Children, Unity Health, Michael Garron Hospital, LifeLabs and Trillium Health Partners. The training program, however, operates as a single unit. The facilities provided in the four major teaching hospitals are extensive. The volume in the combined hospitals is larger than any other centre in Canada. In all these hospitals the entire spectrum of hematological pathology is available for resident teaching. There is a wide array of different instrumentation and technology used so the resident has exposure to a range of procedures.

FRIENDS are for SHARING Sharing? Well sure in the long-run. Children are social creatures. They like to be around other kids, especially in the preschool years. Witnessing a couple (or more) 4-5 year-olds playing can be a beautiful thing. There’s a lot of discussion, negotiation, compromise and sharing necessary in and amongst the imagination, creativity and inventiveness. Parents of toddlers want to give them chances to socialize with other children too. But it’s important to have the right mindset—and know the reasonable expectations—before arranging those playdates. For the unprepared or unaware, toddlers, playdates and toys can be a recipe for disaster! GOAL: Preventing a Meltdown….. Toddlers simply are not developmentally capable of sharing. The very young child doesn’t grasp the concept of sharing and certainly can’t fully implement it until around 4 or 5 years of age. BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t start laying the groundwork for sharing! - Model generosity: At snack time, have something you know your child likes on your plate. When she shows interest ask, “Would you like a bite?” - Acknowledge generosity: If, however briefly, your child offers you one of her favorite Duplos be sure to follow-up with some type of recognition of her generosity, “That was thoughtful of you to share your Duplos with me. I appreciated that.” - Role play: Discuss how a playdate happens! Everyone is more at ease when they have an understanding of what’s likely to be expected of them and an idea of how things are going to go. - Do NOT force a child to give up their toy: If Johnny is actively playing with a toy, he is involved in important work. It doesn’t matter if Jackie—who’s a guest even—would like to play with that toy (RIGHT NOW!) too. One phrase I modelled for the preschool kidlets to say when they were busy playing with something: “I’ll give it to you when I’m finished.” It lets the other child know they’re next in line, but it also gives the child playing the autonomy over that toy. Luckily, young kids’ attentions usually can be diverted fairly easily to something else—offer another toy to Jackie, reassuring him Johnny’ll give him the toy when his finished. Other factors to consider when developing a strategy for a successful playdate for the very young: - Put away toys that are extra special—there’s no need to set your child up for failure. If you know your son has just gotten his favorite puzzle and would have a hard time sharing it, put it up and out of sight. - Playdate potluck—another idea is to suggest to the other parents that they bring a few toys along when they come to visit/play. When Johnny sees Jackie’s brought some toys over too it’ll make it easier for Johnny to share. Two sayings come to mind: The grass looks greener on the other side AND The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. - ‘Themed’ playdates—yes this is the preschool teacher coming out, but when you have a theme to a playdate with all the toys relating to that theme, no one toy stands out from the others. So, in theory anyway, all the toys should be equally appealing. - Include sensory activities—Even if you’ve gone through the above steps and have prepared your child for playdates—everyone has a bad day now and again. When that happens it’s a good idea to bring out sensory activities. Sensory activities provide an acceptable and safe way for children to express and dissipate (sometimes big) emotions. Examples of sensory activities: water play in a shallow tub; tub of colored rice with accessories like funnels, scoops, spoons, etc; or clay or AromatheraPLAY™ dough to pound, punch or knead. And to further reduce the likelihood of hearing “Give it back to me!” “NO, that’s MINE!” “I WANT it NOW!” “That’s NOT fair!” or things spiraling downward into tears and tantrums: - Parents: Be nearby —There may be clashes or squabbles, it’s not unusual when kids get together. Parents should be nearby, but resist the urge to jump in and referee the situation too quickly. Instead try to observe and let play serve its purpose. If the dynamics of the play are positive enough, hold back. Self-directed learning, which play embodies, has the greatest, long-lasting value. Of course, if the situation deteriorates you must step, in re-directing as necessary. - Remember: Play is the natural and best mode of learning for young children! Children develop through various play stages–each one serving a useful purpose. Honor and enjoy where your child IS and look towards where they’ll be… Let me know if you try any of the above suggestions and how it went OR if you have another tactic for your playdate experiences. Yours in Play! Teacher Karen

Article Text Abstract Purpose IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis and a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Recently, some case reports have shown that COL4A5 mutation is associated with IgAN. Here, we identified a new COL4A5 gene mutation in IgAN in a Chinese family. Materials and Methods In the present study, the proband and his 23-year-old younger brother were both diagnosed with IgAN, manifested as haematuria, proteinuria and chronic kidney injury without hearing loss or ocular symptoms. Additionally, the proband’s 30-year-old younger brother, also diagnosed with ESKD, had been undergoing dialysis for 2 years with normal hearing and eyesight. To exclude genetic disease, we conducted whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing assays. Results We found a new mutation in the COL4A5 gene (chrX:107 814 698, c.438+2->AAACCAATTATA-), a novel insertion mutation. Using vector transcription and Minigene transcriptional analyses, we verified, for the first time, the novel mutation pathogenicity of the COL4A5 gene. Conclusion Together with other published data, we suggest that genetic screening should be performed in IgAN, particularly for patients with a familial history. The effects of different mutated splice sites of the COL4A5 gene, as well as the tissue specificity of the splicing machinery contributing to the pathogenesis and prognosis of IgAN, remains unclear and warrants further exploration in the future. - Nephrology - Chronic renal failure Statistics from Altmetric.com Footnotes ZX and JC contributed equally Contributors AX and YT conceived and designed the study.

More often than I want to admit, I’m counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until my kids go to bed. I love them, but I’m tired. Why do kids so emphatically resist basic life functions like eating, sleeping, and pooping? Why do toys explode into every corner of the house? Why are repetition and volume the most powerful tools children have? Finally, they’re in bed. Their breathing slows and their muscles slacken. Their mischief and squabbling evaporate into thin air. Their round cheeks push against their pillows and their fringe of eyelashes point down to their tiny noses and flower bud lips. Suddenly, shimmering over their tousled hair is a golden halo of innocence that erases the exhaustion caused by their incessant needs. Knowing they are safely nestled and asleep and that there will (most likely) be a couple of hours where no one says my name, suddenly my heart wakes up hungry for love, so I feed it. My heart feasts on picture after picture and video after video. It nibbles on that photo of Flora wearing a swimsuit at the table with her pudgy feet resting on either side of her cereal bowl. It indulges in the video of Millie passionately singing her made up songs with charming tunes (or lack thereof). It finishes with a quick scroll back a few years to see what overachiever Georgia was doing at her sisters’ ages. Why is it that I was so ready for them to be asleep, but now I can’t get enough of them? During the day, there isn’t a lot of time or energy to relish beautiful moments when those moments are tucked between bills, brawling, bum-wiping, endless chores, and requests for snacks. But at night, those beautiful moments are frozen in time and magnified because there are no more distractions or demands on my energy. I can savor them; roll them around in my mind. They aren’t tucked between other less joyful moments—they’re the summary of the day. It takes a lot of schlepping to get out the door. There’s the million trips up and down the stairs to make sure everyone has what they need. There’s the, “Get your shoes on. Now. NO. NOW. Go get your shoes on. No, you can’t wear that. Fine, wear whatever you want. Wait, why are YOU naked? I just got you dressed! No. Just get in the car. Okay, buckle. The bathroom? I asked you to go and you said you didn’t need to go! Hurry!” There’s also the mental energy spent in making the plans—It’ll take this long to get there and we have this much time to do the thing and still get home for naptime/bedtime/mealtime. A mental inventory of everyone’s sleep the night before (emotional disposition), most recent meal and bathroom trip, and location of their precious items. Then there’s the complaining and the fighting. It’s all just…a lot. No matter how prepared you are, it’s still a gamble whether an outing will go well. You could not have anticipated that her eye would swell shut out of nowhere while camping. Neither could you have planned for that beautiful bluebird that we stopped to watch build a nest. You could not have prepared for that spectacular tantrum. Neither could you have foreseen that moment when tiny hands pulled your face close for an Eskimo kiss. All of the joy, all of the really good stuff comes at a price. And a lot of it is really easy to miss. The cost of joy is work. So much work. The cost of joy is vulnerability, willingness, consistency, sacrifice, forgiveness, gratitude… all of that on top of the physical reality of life: jobs, chores, illness, finances, etc. And yet joy itself is so accessible, so very simple. Disneyland is awesome. But so is sharing a bowl of ice cream on the porch. A day free of worry is phenomenal. But so is a day of sticky floors and lost tempers and getting the pink race-car grocery cart and drawing her first family portrait and naming the squirrel that lives in the backyard. Joy is the sound of the smoke detector going off every Saturday morning indicating that dad is making breakfast, and the one-year-old trying to fan the alarm with a towel, just like she’s seen her sisters and parents do since she was born. Joy is a worn-out mom tickling a pile of kids to distract them from their fight over whose identical toy is the one that is broken. Joy is the empathy of a toddler when you stub your toe. Really, the cost of joy is just the effort it takes to sift out the good stuff and remember it at the end of the day. Because it’s always there. Every day. No matter what. QUESTION: How do you capture the small moments of joy in your days? CHALLENGE: Think of a way to relish the small joys of life with children—whether it is writing them down each night, talking with them over dinner as a family, or taking and viewing pictures of everyday events—and choose one to make a habit today.

Over the past 3 articles, we covered a lot of ground! I realize this series was deeper than what most people cover in blog posts. I may tend to get closer to a technical whitepaper than traditional blog posts! 😉 Before I jump to other topics, I wanted to simply provide the bullet-point recap of key points from the end of each of those articles and publish it here as an executive summary. This might be a good overview or reminder for those that read each article or could hit the highlights if you missed one. (If I’m honest, part of this is simply to make it easier for myself to quickly to reference!) Part 1: Statistics Fundamentals & How To Predict The Future -. Read the full article: How To Predict The Future – Statistics For Shooters Part 1 Part 2: Practical Statistics Related To Muzzle Velocity -. Read the full article: Muzzle Velocity Stats – Statistics for Shooters Part 2 Part 3: Practical Statistics Related To Precision & Group Size - Accuracy and precision are not the same things. Accuracy refers to how well a group of shots is centered on a target. Precision describes the spread of individual shots about the center point of a group of shots. Unlike accuracy, precision can’t be adjusted by dialing a knob on the weapon. - Extreme Spread (ES) is not a very good measure of dispersion. Range statistics like ES are statistically far weaker because they virtually ignore inner data points. They are the least efficient statistics but are also the most commonly used because they are so easy to measure in the field and so familiar to shooters. - Mean radius, also known as average to center, is the average distance from each shot to the center of the group. - Mean radius uses information from every shot in a group, not just the two most extreme points. Because of this, mean radius can provide a higher confidence measure of precision than ES. However, mean radius is a little harder to measure than ES. - Mean radius allows us to resolve smaller differences in precision with fewer shots. If you are comparing two loads or two rifles and trying to decide which is superior in terms of precision, comparing the mean radius of the groups fired will lead to more reliable conclusions than comparing ES. - Don’t exclude outliers in your groups unless one was undeniably a result of human error. - 10-shot groups are a more reliable indicator when it comes to predicting what a load is likely to do in the future. - By making statistically sound judgments, you may find that many loads produce statistically similar results and loads, in general, are not as finicky as conventional wisdom would lead us to believe. - As humans, we naturally tend to see patterns everywhere, but that can often lead to us finding meaningful patterns in meaningless noise. Statistics is a tool that can help us differentiate between true patterns and meaningless noise. - It’s not just about firing more shots. Plan your tests and analyze your targets in a way that you’ll be able to walk away with confidence in your decisions.

The white summer t-shirt is a must-have closet staple. It can be dressed up or down and is always in season. To choose the right style of white tee, we first need to know what suits our body type. Start experimenting with these different tee necklines to see what looks best on you! Crewnecks are the classic t-shirt style and can be worn by everyone as they highlight our face and shoulders. A crewneck looks great with a pair of jeans and can be paired with a blazer and dress pants for work or a night out. The texture of the slub knit and the tie-front makes this shirt stand out from the crowd: J.Crew Slub Twist-Front Tank, $29.50 The boxy, slightly loose fit of this cotton tee feels fresh and modern and is perfect for all body types: V-necks are an especially good choice for petite and curvy body types as they help balance and elongate your silhouette. They can also highlight a pretty necklace! V-necks also tend to be dressier than crewnecks. Modest V-necks can be worn at the office but save deep or plunging necklines for a night out! This sleeveless staple piece is made of silk and would look great under a blazer: The soft and silky feel of this fitted tee makes for a great layering piece, but it also looks fantastic on its own: A bateau or boat neck shirt is similar to a crewneck, but wider. This neckline draws the eye upward toward the shoulders making them a great choice for pear or apple-shaped body types. This elegant cream boat neck is just as versatile as pure white and looks fabulous on warmer complexions. We also love that it can be worn off the shoulder for a totally different look: We love that you can wear this option off the shoulder for a totally different look: Scoop necklines are deeper and wider than crew necklines and are also flattering on all body types. You will love the loose and relaxed fit of this cotton t-shirt, especially during the hot summer: We love this feminine take on this flowy sleeve crew neck: Polos are a great choice when you want the look of a collared shirt but you don’t want to wear a button-down. They are extremely versatile and universally flattering. This Everlane knit polo features longer sleeves and a more fitted silhouette: White summer tees are extremely versatile as they can be comfortably worn in the warmer months and layered underneath sweaters when it gets cooler. Look for all cotton or cotton-poly blends for the most comfort. At work, pair your white tee with trousers and a blazer. For a more casual look, pair it with some jeans and sunglasses. And for date night, slip on some tight jeans, high heels, and extra jewelry! “A white shirt goes with everything, it’s season-less, it’s an investment, it’s something you’ll wear not just season after season, but year after year.” – Victoria Beckham Now let’s go shopping!

Setting up Retargeting /> Retargetting is essentially targeting the audience who have previously come across your brand. With retargeting, you can easily have a better lead conversion rate because the target audience, in this case, has previously been interested in your brand. Let me tell you how it works. While setting up your ads you can add the emails and the usernames of the audience you want to show your retargeted ads to and once you launch the ads will only be shown to them. And, “Voila”, that was all you need to know about Facebook Advertising, and now that you know it, it’s time to use this knowledge and launch an effective Facebook Advertising Campaign to grow your business in 2021.

Redfin: 51 percent of homes in U.S. selling above the list price By: American Property Owners Alliance Aug 10 Aug 10 2021 PREVIOUS NEXT It used to be that when you were selling your home you would list a price a little higher than the offer you were willing to accept – that way, as bids came in, you could determine which one you were willing to settle for. The way things are going now, that concept is growing extinct. That’s because more than half the homes being sold in America are being sold at above their list price. With the housing stock dwindling, and the demand for homes increasing, prices are rising exponentially. As a result, the market has become uber-competitive, and home sales are now happening faster, for more money, sometimes sight unseen and even with cash offers. According to a recent study by Redfin that looked at home sales in 400 Metropolitan markets, 51% of homes sold in the U.S. sold above the list price during a four-week period that ended in late May. This was a whopping 26% increase over the same time period in 2020. And although the pandemic put a crimp in home sales initially last Spring, the jump is still significant. In addition, the study showed the median home sale price was $354,250, the average asking price for a single-family home was $361,875, and the average length of time a home lasted on the market was 17 days. All three of these data points are records. Price growth usually doesn’t happen until later in the summer, but the skyrocketing prices haven’t just unhinged the door to alternative approaches toward buying a home, they’ve blown the door completely out of the way. The housing market is expected to remain white-hot until mortgage rates increase, which likely won’t occur until after the summer months. Until then, it’s going to be more of the same – buyers being forced to bid above a home’s list or maybe even higher than they budgeted to get a home. The study also showed that the number of active listings are down 49% from the same time in 2019 – which was used as a measure so it could compare to pre-pandemic data. That indicates a severe lack of housing available in general is driving home prices through the roof across the country and is pricing a lot of potential buyers out of the market. The problem is, there are still active buyers who are able to traverse the turbulent waters and are willing to buy homes at these more exorbitant prices. The study showed that of the 400 markets studied, 399 of them saw increases in home sales. The lone market that had a decrease was Rochester, N.Y. (-3%). The largest gains were in markets like San Francisco (184%), San Jose (150%) and Miami (120%) As for prices, they unsurprisingly increased in all 400 markets. Th largest price increases took place in Austin (42%), Oxnard, Calif. (26%) and Miami (26%). The smallest increase was in Honolulu (0

The delivery gameplay loop is one that has found new life in a few different games this generation. From the post-apocalyptic USPS simulator that was Death Stranding, to the taxi driving of Neo Cab, we’ve spent more than a few hours in the last several years taking people and things where the need to go. Cloudpunk continues this trend, asking you to deliver packages for a slightly shady service that explicitly tells you not to open them or ask any questions. Should be perfectly smooth, right? Let’s find out! A Premise That Leaves a Lot of Potential on The Table In Cloudpunk, you play as Rania, a delivery driver working in the cyberpunk metropolis of Nivalis. Your employer, Cloudpunk, pays fairly well, but they’re not strictly speaking legal in terms of their clientele and business activities. Of course, as someone who is drowning and debt and can barely afford their rent, Rania doesn’t worry too much about that, at least, not at first. The story in Cloudpunk is delivered via dialogue as you’re driving between locations, and through conversations with NPCs you encounter when you park and leave your vehicle. While some of the voice acting is a little stiff, I thought the performances overall were mostly solid. The gruff voice of your contact at Control, for example, fit well within the world. Camus, on the other hand, who is supposed to be the digitized version of Rania’s dog, has a predictably simple and stiff delivery. There’s room for improvement in all of the performances, but the existence of voice acting was a nice surprise as I expected to be reading more than listening. The pacing of the story could have been better, as much of the dialogue tends to happen at the beginning or end of a trip in your hovering vehicle, leaving much of your drives to be filled with the game’s admittedly awesome music, or the ambient sounds of the city. It would have been nice for the story to happen more consistently during the drives, but I never felt bored as the city itself was quite gorgeous to look at as I was flying down the various highways and weaving between buildings. As it progresses, the story of Cloudpunk tends to have moments of intrigue and excitement that are balanced by more standard deliveries without much fanfare. My favorite element was something that happened early on where you could decide between two places to bring the package, based on limited knowledge of what it contained. This is used again, but never to the degree that I would have liked. The consequences of your choice are certainly made known, but don’t have the ripple effect they could have on other aspects of the game or story. The overarching plot is so inconsistent that I often found more interest in the miniature stories of each delivery, which again, had mixed levels of excitement for me. For this reason, Cloudpunk was best played in bursts for me as it struggled to keep me fully engaged for long periods of time, due to the ebb and flow of the story. This was compounded somewhat by the gameplay, which seems to offer depth beyond your typical deliveries, but rarely succeeds in delivering upon your excursions. There are no shortage of things to find and collect on your map, along with vehicle modifications, gas stations, and merchants of all types, but it’s not immediately clear why any of it really matters. The vehicle mods and the gas stations are obvious, but something like punch cards you can find on the ground don’t become useful until later and even then, it’s nothing revelatory. It almost feels like Cloudpunk wanted to be a bigger and more in-depth game than it actually is in practice. The litany of optional distractions and things to pick up would also be more enticing if you could land your ship anywhere, or at least in more places. Far too many times I found myself right above my objective, only to spend a huge amount of time trying to find a parking spot nearby and then hiking my way to the objective through the walkways. This wouldn’t be a huge issue, except these long walks were often silent, and could have been a good place to inject more dialogue or exposition. I had a great time losing myself in the visual identity of Nivalis, but what I didn’t like was constantly getting lost trying to find a parking spot. Voxel Art Never Looked (Or Sounded) so Good Despite gameplay that wildly swings from exciting to slightly mundane, the actual visual and audio identify of Nivalis is a treat for the senses, and makes up for a large part of the other shortcomings for me. Flying down the highways, meandering between cyberpunk skyscrapers, and even wandering the neon streets of the city under towering billboards made me feel like I was in a Minecraft magnum opus. In fact, the voxel (block)-based graphics aren’t really apparent until you get up close or walk past one of the NPCs on foot. From a distance, Nivalis simply looks like a bustling city in the clouds, a diorama that begs you to explore its finer details. Pair this with a wonderful synthwave soundtrack and surprisingly robust ambient audio, and you have a game that works incredibly well as an exploration experience, but fails to truly capitalize on its setting to deliver a consistently entertaining and enrapturing story.

I. All of those people who you have listed probably already know that Covid-19 is a serious threat to all of us, so what exactly do you want us to contact them about? Do they know how to eliminate the threat, and will then tell us? Before you vote though, run right out and buy the new "Trump Smoke Detectors" for your homes! They stay silent, so you don't panic. Hey Geezer,I ran out and bought the Joe Biden smoke detectors but I can't remember where I put them !!! Hey Mr. GreenJeans, that's a bit of a stretch, but a decent effort. Did you also forget about the 200,000? The smoke detector instead of saying Exit Fire, Screams Come on Man!!! Also the lights aren't very bright.How appropriate. But apparently at least warns you, instead of simply not caring that you die. Are you saying you don't want more questions with one day period of time?Consider it closed.Do you prefer no Questions.So you will not communicate back to us if someone his a Question.So all you did was a good impression that you care and then if nobody had a question for a couple days you are done answering questions.You know very well that it is easier to ask questions than answer them.Give answer.Not surprised to see you walk away and consider it closed.Iam sure there:s a lot of questions about this disease were all fighting coronavirus 19 to live.This has an impact on every family in this community it is crisis her in Melrose.So ask the MAYOR is done answering questions. Appropriately means understanding the situation and working out what kind of response to give. In familiar settings this may be easy,but when you:re with people you don;t know so well; you may have to weigh things up quite quickly. You are insane if you thought for one minute the left mayor was looking at your post. That there is such a thing as right and wrong, and that political strength -- honest political strength -- must always appeal to what is RIGHT.” 02176.

President Trump will not resign. Nor will he turn power over to Vice President Pence and ask him for a pardon, according to top White House advisers who have spoken with the highest ranking members of Mr. Trump's Cabinet, including Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, Pence and chief of staff Mark Meadows. The president continues to ask senior advisers about his ability to pardon himself before he leaves office. It's a power that is untested and by no means settled. A Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel memo from 1976 says that the president cannot pardon himself or herself, so it would be a gamble. The president worries about his legal exposure post-presidency, but not necessarily related to the assault on the Capitol. GOP sources close to the White House and congressional leadership say the threat of a second impeachment is real and could find some support among House Republicans, who are facing pressure from lobbying firms and corporations that help fund their campaigns. They have made it clear they will cut ties with Republicans who back Mr. Trump in any impeachment vote. But on the other side is the Trump-inspired GOP base that threatens to launch primary challenges against House Republicans who vote for impeachment. Republicans wish House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wouldn't force the question, but the speaker, protecting the institution of Congress and maximizing political advantage, will force Republicans to choose. Privately, top Republican sources concede if the mob that attacked the Capitol had been egged on by a Democratic president, a GOP House speaker would do the same thing. Mr. Trump continues to believe any impeachment talk is strictly partisan; top outside advisers keep telling him it not partisan, but institutional. Congress was under attack this week, and some Republicans feel it's necessary to push back with impeachment vote – for now and for history. The idea of invoking the 25th Amendment remains remote and is mostly intended to keep the president in line in the remaining few days of his presidency. But top cabinet officials still holding positions, chief among them Mnuchin and Pompeo, have not refuted the suggestion internally or externally in order to send a signal to Mr. Trump that it's an action they'd be willing to take if he cannot control himself. Provide the rightful attribution for the preceding copy-and-paste exercises. Those were from a column by CBS journalist Major Garrett: Please re-phraseasize the proceeding post so we know what the heck you're trying to say! DO NOT LET THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS DESTROY YOUR INNER PEACE. I have been there and they are not nice people. A person's actions will tell you everything you need to know.

Objective: To describe use of the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remission criteria in clinical practice. Methods: Remission was examined using data on 1,341 patients with RA (91% men) from the US Department of Veterans Affairs RA (VARA) registry (total of 9,700 visits) and 1,153 patients with RA (25.8% men) in a community rheumatology practice (Arthritis and Rheumatology Clinics of Kansas [ARCK]) (total of 6,362 visits). Cross-sectional and cumulative probabilities were studied, and agreement between the various remission criteria was assessed. Aspects of reliability of the criteria were determined using Boolean-based definitions, as well as the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) scoring methods proposed by the ACR/EULAR joint committee. Results: When the 3-variable ACR/EULAR definition of remission recommended for use in community practice (swollen and tender joint counts ≤1, and visual analog scale score for patient's global assessment of disease activity ≤1) was applied, cross-sectional remission was 7.5% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 6.4, 8.7%) for ARCK and 8.9% (95% CI 7.9, 9.9%) for VARA, and cumulative remission (remission at any observation) was 18.0% (for ARCK) and 24.4% (for VARA), over a mean followup of ∼2.2 years. Addition of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein level to the criteria set reduced remission to 5.0-6.2%, and use of the CDAI/SDAI increased the proportions to 6.9-10.1%. Moreover, 1.8-4.6% of the patients met remission criteria at ≥2 visits. Agreement between criteria definitions was good, as assessed by kappa statistics and Jaccard coefficients. Among patients in remission, the probability of a remission lasting 2 years was 6.0-14.1%. Among all patients, the probability of a remission lasting 2 years was <3%. Remission status and examination results for each patient varied substantially among physicians, as determined by multilevel analyses. Conclusion: Cross-sectional remission occurred in 5.0-10.1% of the patients in these cohorts, with cumulative remission being 2-3 times greater; however, long-term remission was rare. Problems with reliability and agreement limit the usefulness of these criteria in the individual patient. However, the criteria can be an effective method for measuring clinical status and treatment effect in groups of patients in the community.

ClickFunnels drew back in 2014, yet in simply three years it’s been, in words of Forbes, “silently revolutionizing the internet marketing market.” Right here’s the idea of ClickFunnels: It makes it much easier for businesses and entrepreneurs to offer stuff online making use of or else complicated marketing technology, called sales funnels (a lot more on those in a second). The owner of ClickFunnels, Russell Brunson, is as famous as his creation, and also for good reason. He’s succeeded, not only from ClickFunnels, yet other advertising experiences. He played around with e-mail advertising and marketing for some time, and eventually began to grasp sales funnels.

ClickFunnels started as a means to help Brunson as well as his team create funnels faster for various ventures, as developing funnels would normally take weeks. Nevertheless, they soon understood their production would be useful to others as well as had terrific prospective as a product. What Are Funnels? How Sales Funnels Work Before proceeding with this ClickFunnels Review, let’s clarify what a marketing funnel is. In advertising, it’s a process that takes people who do not recognize you and also transforms them into customers, also known as digital marketing funnel. In e-commerce, a sales funnel is a series of steps made to guide an internet site visitor to the check out page. There’s a much less dull means of thinking about it. Action 1: Visualize a funnel. Step 2: Envision this channel is in truth a metaphor, and instead of real ingredients to put down the funnel, you have symbolic ingredients you call internet traffic or site visitors. Your site visitors are looking around, examining points out. Your website is wonderfully designed, and also your content is top notch! Sadly, that still doesn’t transform many of your visitors into consumers. In a traditional shop, that’s like people walking into your shop yet not knowing where the cash register is, so they leave the store without getting anything. In a physical shop, you can speak your consumers right into purchasing something. In a digital shop, you might be a little bit farther from your visitors. This is where your funnel comes in– it’s developed to attract your clients’ through concepts of psychology. The channel works detailed, bring traffic in better and also more detailed until visitors end up at a settlement web page. If you believe this seems cool, you’re right– it’s ended up being a big deal for online marketing. Russell Brunson didn’t just get rich by marketing ClickFunnels modern technology, yet by using it as well. Pros ClickFunnels is meant to conserve you time and energy– to do what otherwise needs a great deal of technological effectiveness and/or an array of third party applications. In this respect, ClickFunnels prospers. – Makes You Cash Among the very best features of ClickFunnels is its concentrate on earning money for the user. They make it really easy to make your account, installed your material, as well as begin taking repayments. Plus, it’s pretty very easy to select every little thing up– it’ll possibly take you a couple hrs to determine most of what you require, max. – Drag and Drop Builder Numerous features are very useful right here. I such as how very easy it is to replicate pages, and the fact I can conserve layouts to be used once again later on. Their page home builder is a pretty important attribute, and they’ve pulled it off well. Once you obtain used to it, it’s an easy to use drag and drop builder. – A/B screening Integrated in A/B screening is excellent as well. All you need to do is replicate a page, make your adjustments, and pick the quantities of your website traffic you intend to see variation A or B. – Great selection of Combinations I assume ClickFunnels manages API combinations quite well. Email autoresponders as well as settlement processors aren’t too much of a sweat– they work reliably and are simple to take care of. – WordPress Plugin You’ll additionally find a handy WordPress plugin that lets you include ClickFunnels pages to your WordPress website. It conserves a great deal of time and also is much less of a trouble than working between ClickFunnels as well as WordPress without a plugin. The Clickfunnels WordPress plugin is also ranked a solid 4.4 celebrities in the WordPress plugin database, with over 20,000 energetic installations. – All in one Overall, it’s excellent to have actually points so streamlined: I can construct my landing web pages, develop types and order forms, and set off e-mails all from one system. All of this truly does conserve you money and time, resources you would certainly otherwise need to spend on programmers, CSS, organizing arrangements, and so forth. – Practical Worth You can rest assured the lower-tiered account is a great financial investment– what you’re permitted a Start-up account is pretty respectable. If you have greater than 20,000 site visitors and need over 100 web pages, the ClickFunnels Platinum Platinum might not be too much to ask. ClickFunnels is not perfect, yet it does a fantastic task of packaging terrific devices with each other and making them accessible. It perhaps saves most individuals a migraine they ‘d have if they tried to manage funnels one more method. Learn More About Clickfunnels Job Description Here Cons I have actually obtained some problem: although ClickFunnels is in general solid, it has quite a few areas that require job and also a good ClickFunnels review would not be complete without looking at the unsightly side also. – Overpriced? A little drawback is the price. There are just 2 rates options, at either $97 a month or $297 a month. In the grand plan of things, this is not a big downside, simply an additional financial investment in your service, and also like I’ve stated, you get an excellent bundle for it. – Lackluster Customer Care Past that, consumer assistance is doubtful at ideal. In my experience, they have actually been great with basic concerns, however if you ask more difficult points, especially concerning more advanced features, they won’t be extremely helpful. – Cult-like user base and software also reliant on Creator This is not an objective criticism of their product however I take a slight problem with their advertising that I think is worth stating in this ClickFunnels Review. If you obtain sucked right into one of their funnels, it’s hard to escape the buzz surrounding it. They have a wonderful advertising and marketing for certain. Nevertheless, from a user experience point of view, it can obtain interfering. Once you register for the software application, you can attempt to consider the unbiased attributes of the software and also incorporate it into your own workflow, or you’ll be lost and forced to discover Russell Brunson’s advertising and marketing techniques. This suggests you’ll find yourself acquiring online training courses, publications, attending workshops, and getting drawn into the ClickFunnels “Cult-ure”. Their Facebook Team has more than 100k participants and the majority of articles includes individuals extoling just how much cash they made and blinking their sports cars. Though these numbers are real, the users provide an impact that they’re more concentrated on making quick money instead of constructing terrific product or services. ClickFunnels has actually aided people do excellent points, yet it’s also helped multiply fast abundant plans, on the internet training courses, saturation of trainers and experts, and also various other spammy web online marketer things. All of us know the owner is a marketing wizard, but a lot of the item is tied to his brand name and his philosophy. As long as I appreciate the landing page building contractor, whatever around it looks like an extension of Brunson’s system. Sometimes it’s hard to not get the feeling that ClickFunnels spends a lot more resources on self-promotion than necessary, especially when some facets of their product (i.e., client service) can still utilize some job. – Too Templated This one isn’t on ClickFunnels yet even more on the neighborhood. While you have the capability to customize extensively within ClickFunnels, lots of people use similar layouts. Thinking about the popularity of ClickFunnels, this has caused a big quantity of ClickFunnel-y looks floating around. Diversity is very important. – Software Program Outages and Pests Every now and then, ClickFunnels will certainly decrease or experience some mistakes. Though this truly doesn’t take place typically, there’s little you can do however wait. If you’re spending a whole lot in advertising and marketing or driving website traffic to your funnels and also a ClickFunnels’ problem brings your pages down for also a few hrs, you can possibly lose a lot of money. It’s likewise tough to know when your pages are functioning or otherwise, unless you constantly examine or wait up until you learn through upset clients. Preventing uptime, I additionally take care of some glitches when I clone pages utilizing the HTML publishing choice. – Individual experience modifications … a lot The control panel adjustments usually, the flow of developing new pages as well as funnels changes, a switch will certainly move, pricing options change, etc– and it appears ClickFunnels is still figuring things out. I like uniformity in my software application, particularly if it’s an organization service. – Also Simple Lastly, a criticism I have actually listened to yet do not fairly agree with personally: it’s too simple, as well as also expensive for its simplicity. These criticisms often tend to describe diy strategies which can be less expensive in advance and also generate more control over handling certain details. Nonetheless, for much less skilled customers who are mostly seeking effectiveness as well as an easy to use package of tools, I would not highlight this also highly. ClickFunnels Pricing ClickFunnels has two rates plans; their Clickfunnels Requirement Strategy and also their Clickfunnels Platinum Plan. Also their typical plan begins on the costlier side. Clickfunnels is $97 a month and also Platinum is available in at $297 a month. Wherefore it deserves, you likewise obtain a 2 week free test to check out the service, so at least you don’t need to devote to a pricey strategy immediately. If you pay annually as opposed to monthly, you obtain 2 months complimentary ($ 997 for ClickFunnels and $2,997 for Platinum). Nevertheless, a little bit substantial huh? Well, some would certainly say so, and also I can see why– specifically if you contrast to LeadPages, a similar (overlapping, but definitely not the same) solution which starts at $25 a month. Nevertheless, it is essential to keep in mind ClickFunnels’ major solution is to make funnels more effective, and it does a respectable job. I personally consider it an excellent investment. Clickfunnels Job Description The primary differences between an entry level account and also a costs account are as adheres to: the common obtains the major service, the funnel-builder, with some limitations on the quantity of web pages (100 ), check outs (20,000), personalized domain names (3 ), and also just a few of the complete listing of functions. Learn More About Clickfunnels Job Description Here However, both strategies have limitless get in touches with, unrestricted members, all progressed funnels, A/B split tests, and also a few other commonness. Platinum has a complete checklist of features, consisting of the following: single settlements (this is a Backpack function that lets you define an item as an one-time payment product for your payment gateways); subscription strategies (another Backpack function, yet unlike one-time settlements, this lets your clients pay for a membership solution); 3 SMTP integrations (StartUp has 1); unrestricted funnels, web pages, sees, and also custom domain names; top priority assistance and template demands; as well as Followup Funnels as well as Backpack. To summarize the distinctions, the typical Clickfunnels plan basically carries the core function of ClickFunnels, which is called (you thought it!) ClickFunnels. Easy! Platinum on the other hand, packages the keystone device ClickFunnels with two various other services– Followup Funnels and Backpack– and also offers you the full collection of ClickFunnels functions. You can view the complete authorities listing right here. What is FunnelFlix? ClickFunnels Creator, Russell Brunson, initially made a great deal of his cash selling info items as well as on the internet programs. It appears that currently ClickFunnels is trying to press the “Netflix” design with FunnelFlix but with details items, which in my viewpoint is distracting and perplexing when you’re just attempting to use the software application for your advertising and marketing. There’s some great content therein, but it’s simply way too much and you need to dig via a great deal of fluff to get something actionable. So for this ClickFunnels evaluation, we completely skipped covering FunnelFlix considering that we’re focusing on the software itself. Attributes Summary– Clickfunnels Testimonial How are ClickFunnels’ attributes total? I assume they’re strong as well as you obtain every little thing you need. They’re largely intuitive as well as offer you a good quantity of control. The design template editor and assimilation monitoring system are good examples of this and are really crucial features, so I’ll be giving them different areas. Clickfunnels Job Description A/B split testing is a smaller feature, however certainly a noteworthy one. If you duplicate a web page and make changes to the duplicate, the split examination generally lets you choose what percents of your web traffic you want to see per page, allowing you test conversion rates really smoothly. It’s an excellent function as well as really easy to use. I also assume ClickFunnels is general versatile and also simple for other settings, like your account information or combinations. Maybe extremely technology literate people would certainly locate them limiting (a typical theme amongst some criticisms), yet as the solution is expected to be easy to use, I thought the standard features were respectable. There are plenty of kinds of readily available pre-made funnels, oriented to different kinds of businesses, and also you can naturally build your own funnel from the ground up as well. Followup Funnels and also Backpack many would certainly call an e-mail auto-responder or simply an auto-responder, however it’s a little bit more complex. The major objective of Followup Funnels is clever analytics that lead to wise auto-responding, yet the auto-responding involves general delivery as well as email, as well as a few other rewards. Together With Followup Funnels comes Backpack (formerly Backpack CRM), a device meant to make taking care of an affiliate program simpler and also a lot more effective. Clickfunnels Job Description But are these attributes, or separate products? Followup Funnels seems a little bit like ClickFunnels attempting to market an undecided e-mail auto-responder to me, yet maybe I’m simply negative. Regardless, it makes Clickfunnels Platinum a bit complicated and removes the coherency you get with the original ClickFunnels. Right here’s the full checklist of Start-up features: - 20 funnels - 100 web pages - 20,000 visitors - unlimited contacts - 3 customized domain names - A/B split examinations - Optin channels - ClickPops - ClickOptin - All innovative funnels - Sales funnels - Subscription funnels - Unlimited members - Vehicle webinar funnels - Hangout funnels - Order web pages - Upsell pages - Downsale web pages - Share your funnels - 1 SMPTP assimilation - 1 billing integration per type You can watch the full checklist of ClickFunnels attributes, along with ClickFunnels Platinum attributes, right here. If you’re in a placement where you can afford to try Platinum awhile and you additionally definitely require an efficient, simple way of boosting sales, I don’t believe you would certainly find yourself shorted. By that very same token, I do not believe Followup Funnels as well as Backpack supply such a big benefit that you can not do without them: for a lot of individuals, the Standard Clickfunnels plan will certainly supply an extensive enough bundle.

Hip-pocket frogs in Australia have one of the unique breeding techniques in the world, and DNA research has revealed that they are really two species. Climate change, habitat loss, and introduced species pose serious threats to both species, with the newly identified form likely severely endangered. Hip-pocket frogs, commonly known as marsupial frogs, reside in the eastern Australian highlands’ rainforests. They deposit their eggs on the rainforest floor rather than in water, unlike practically all other amphibians. The father rests on the liquefied egg mass after staying near the eggs for around six days. Tadpoles move up into little pouches towards the top of each leg, where they stay until they grow their own legs, at which time they begin their independent life. The frog has been formally documented since 1933; however, it is likely that Indigenous peoples in the area have known it for thousands of years. However, a study led by Newcastle University’s Professor Michael Mahony examined its DNA and discovered that the frogs dwelling on Wollumbin (Mt Warning) are a different species from those found in the other five known places. The new species is known as Assa wollumbin, and it discovered in Zootaxa, Those who live in other places are known as Assa darlingtoni. Even herpetologists cannot tell the two frogs apart because they are both 16mm (0.6 inch) long. With hundreds of kilometers of hot, arid valleys separating A. Darlington’s known habitats, Mahony and co-authors reasoned that they had been isolated long enough to split into different species. They examined for changes in DNA samples taken from frogs in each site. Mahony told IFLScience that it was interesting those frogs from far-flung locations were genetically identical, yet those from Wollumbin were distinct enough to warrant a new name. After discovering the genetic differences, the scientists looked into it further and discovered variances in their mating calls. In warm weather, a wollumbin has a higher dominant frequency and seldom utilizes more than nine notes in a call, whereas A. darlingtoni uses approximately 13. However, Mahony told IFLScience that identifying species in the field based on this alone would be difficult without a recording of each for comparison. There are no known variations between the two species’ approaches to their most distinguishing feature: the fathers’ parental care. “As far as we know, after depositing the eggs, the mother does nothing,” Mahony told IFLScience. “The father doesn’t appear to be providing any nourishment.” However, it appears that the protection he gives to the developing tadpoles – who are still eating the yolks of their eggs – is critical. “It’s not simple to see” how this originated in a world where many male animals give no parental care at all, and those who do generally share it with the females, Mahony said. Only four of the world’s 4,000 [frog] species have male paternal care, in which the male bears the growing tadpoles, according to Mahony. The other two instances are rainforest-dwelling South American frogs, in which the father transports the tadpoles to water, where they grow on their own. Because Assa’s habitat is frequently hilly, there are rarely standing pools of water, even if the environment is moist enough to keep the eggs from drying up. “By eliminating the need for standing water to procreate, frogs avoid predators and may breed wherever there is moist moss or leaves,” Mahony explained. Because it was found just within New South Wales, A. wollumbin is eligible for the state’s newly designated Assets of Intergenerational Significance category of protection, which may see it and Wollumbin National Park get more funding.

Hack Your Health: 13 Crucial Ways to Get Better Results From Your Doctor How do you feel about your doctor? If you’ve ever felt uneasy or like you don’t matter to your physician, you know that sometimes it’s just not a good fit. But your health is literally the most important commodity you have. If you expect to get proper medical care and learn how to follow through on your doctor’s recommendations, you’ve got to have open l ines of communication, and you need to find a doc who has the kind of “bedside manner” that works best for you. Of course, that’s not always as easy as it sounds. What’s New in Primary Care Visits? Across the board, cuts are routinely made in order to service more patients with less resources. These days, your time with your doc is precious – she’ll probably see you for 15 minutes or less, and electronic records are replacing some of the discussion that used to occur face to face. On top of that, there may be strong emotions and embarrassment that go along with any disturbing symptoms, especially if you’re not really comfortable saying what you need to say to this person. As a patient, you can and should learn to talk with your doctor more effectively – especially if you want to take the best possible care of yourself (and you DO, trust me!). With that in mind, try these suggestions for choosing a physician you’ll feel comfortable with, and with whom you can easily communicate. How to Choose the Best Doctor for You – 4 Essential Tips 1. Check social media. Take a look at your doctor’s Twitter feed or Facebook page for a preview that may suggest their personality and approach. Many health professionals use social media to educate their patients and answer common questions. 2. Evaluate online ratings. Internet services are now rating pediatricians as well as restaurants, and the criteria usually includes being friendly and easy to talk with. Just remember that these are opinions rather than facts. You may want to consult additional sources like referrals from friends and other health care providers. 3. Focus on the team. Pay attention to how your doctor interacts with colleagues as well as you. Some studies suggest that up to 80% of serious medical errors are caused by miscommunications between caregivers. 4. Take action. Most of all look for a physician who encourages your engagement. Do they speak with you respectfully and value your input? 9 Necessary Notes on Communicating with Your Doctor 1. Set priorities. Given how short doctor visits are today, ensure you squeeze in the main issues before you leave. Focus on your back pain instead of trying to deal with a whole laundry list of experiences. 2. Volunteer information. Your doctor may be as hesitant as you to bring up sensitive subjects like losing weight or quitting smoking. Share any details that could be relevant to receiving the treatment you need. 3. Ask questions. More than 65% of medical schools now teach communications, but some practitioners still tend to speak in lectures. Asking questions creates a discussion and clarifies your concerns. 4. Sum it up. Restating what your doctor said is an effective way to show whether you really understood each other. Try giving a quick recap before you walk out the door. 5. Start a journal. Keeping a journal can help you to think straight when you’re dealing with complicated medical information and strong emotions. Write down your symptoms and any events you want to talk about. 6. Take notes. Jot down what your doctor tells you. Use a notepad or your phone. Some practitioners may even let you record the sessions. 7. Accept uncertainty. Encourage your doctor to be candid by letting them know that you can handle the truth. You may be able to avoid unnecessary tests and prescriptions that are unlikely to provide clear cut answers or significant relief. 8. Discuss risks. Most procedures have risks as well as benefits. Be polite but firm about needing to hear the full picture. 9. Bring support. If you’re nervous about going to the doctor’s office alone, take along someone you trust like your spouse or a friend. Patient advocates can also facilitate discussions between you and your doctor. Your employer may have an employee assistance program or you can contact groups like the American Cancer Society. Skillful communications can turn you into an engaged patient who makes sound health decisions for you and your family. When you’re knowledgeable, assertive, and courteous, you help your doctor to provide you with the best quality care possible.

On August 4, 1914, Great Britain responded to Germany’s invasion of neutral Belgium by declaring war. There was no question that Canada would join the fight against the Kaiser. Like most combatants, English Canadians first responded with patriotic enthusiasm. When Minister of Militia Sam Hughes summoned 25,000 volunteers to gather immediately at the base of Valcartier near Quebec City for overseas service, 33,000 showed up. With some 300 former York Rangers among them, the First Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) sailed for England in early October. By February 1915, its men had already joined the Allies in the trenches of Flanders. Their baptism of fire came two months later, when at the Second Battle of Ypres in late April the Germans released chlorine gas in the world’s first attack with chemical weapons. As the war progressed, the York Rangers would provide volunteers for a number of other battalions that went overseas, including the 35th, 83rd, and the 127th, the latter as railway troops. The Rangers’ most notable contribution, however, was with “The Twentieth.” Mobilised in October 1914, the 20thBattalion was formed from Central Ontario’s various county regiments who trained over the winter months on the grounds of the Toronto Exhibition (now the CNE). After further instruction at Kent in England, The Twentieth landed in France in September 1915 as part of Canada’s Second Division and was soon on the Allied front lines. At the time, its commanding officer was a descendant of Robert Rogers, LCol C. H. Rogers. Over the next three years The Twentieth participated in many of the Western Front’s murderous battles. In summer 1916 they joined the massive offensive on the Somme River. The following spring, the battalion was part of the Canadian force that finally captured Vimy Ridge, in a surprise assault that marked the growing tactical supremacy of the Canadian Corps on the Western Front. Fall 1917 found The Twentieth finally finishing up the costly mud-soaked battle of Passchendaele. The Twentieth’s most important contribution to victory in the Great War came in the final year, in August 1918 at Amiens. The Canadian and Australian Corps launched the most brilliant attack of the war, crunching through every German defence line in a single day and finishing off by shooting up headquarters and burning supply dumps deep in the German rear. General Erich Ludendorff, the German Commander-in-Chief, called August 8 his army’s “black day.” The Rangers’ historian, Major Bull, wrote in 1984: There is no record of any 20thsection, platoon, or company fleeing from the battlefield. And over half a century later, we are still awed by the incredible courage of these ordinary Canadian citizens – heroes all, though none of them would have liked to be so called. Armistice at 11:00 am, 11 November 1918 found the Twentieth advancing on the southwestern Belgian stronghold of Mons. The battalion then marched into Germany and joined the Allied occupation for several months, encamped near Bonn until January. On May 24, 1919, 700 of its officers and men returned to a hero’s welcome at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium. They were the lucky few. Another 855 had perished and thousands were wounded. Demobilised in May, the 20thBattalion was disbanded on September 15, 1920. <==12th York Rangers Inter-War Years==>

Travel writers make a occupation out of serving to holidaymakers navigate unfamiliar destinations. Still, even the most savvy traveler is prone to earning the occasional fake pas although on holiday vacation.

Strolling by means of Singapore “Making an attempt to stroll all around Singapore is a large slip-up. Masking a length of even just a couple of kilometers, which you’d happily walk in most cities, and you can conclusion up drenched — possibly as a end result of the heat or a tropical downpour. No matter if Google Maps displays your location isn’t far, get a taxi or the MRT [Mass Rapid Transit] coach. They’re each economical and blessedly air-conditioned.” —Christian Barker, Australia Seeing it all in New York Metropolis “New York is a extensive desired destination with a litany of possibilities, and that will make any tourist’s time in the city important. Unfortunately, I have located lots of visitors — specially 1st-timers — attempt to squeeze as well substantially into a single journey.

And go away some unscheduled blocks of time since these ‘only-in-New-York’ moments you’ve heard about are practically always unplanned. “For occasion, you should not endeavor to see the Statue of Liberty, Empire Point out Developing and Metropolitan Museum of Artwork in one working day. You’ll be so fatigued — you will not likely take pleasure in any of it. Instead, make the trek to Lady Liberty and then cruise to nearby Ellis Island and its immigration museum. Or dedicate a working day to Central Park and the encompassing neighborhoods. The park is brimming with natural beauty in just about every nook and cranny of its 840 acres. “Remember, New York just isn’t going everywhere.

Now that I have spent time below, I recognize how significantly I skipped — and how a lot travellers miss out on. Jamaica is the variety of put in which you should really go off script. Sheryl Nash-Nance American vacation writer “So lots of occur to the island and hardly venture past their all-inclusive resort or adhere to whichever tours the hotel is promoting. Major sigh. Jamaica is the type of spot in which you need to go off script. You haven’t professional the serious Jamaica, if you haven’t long gone to a beach front that only locals know about, or if your sampling of Jamaica cuisine is constrained to the regular jerk chicken or pork. Test a restaurant exterior the lodge and the vacationer zone. “Dunn’s Rivers Falls is fine, but there are spectacular falls wherever there are no crowds. Negril and Montego Bay get all the press but make your way off the crushed track to Portland. Jamaica is comprehensive of tricks. Do a tiny digging ahead of your journey, irrespective of whether it’s from your social media groups or buddies of friends. Discover an insider to give you the skinny.” —Sheryl Nash-Nance, United States Being a early morning human being in Melbourne “Stroll about Melbourne metropolis at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, and you could possibly speculate if aliens experienced kidnapped most of the populace right away. The temptation when traveling is to pack the daylight several hours, but climbing early is not a little something Melburnians do, unless of course their work dictate it. Melbourne’s most popular coffeehouses are inclined to get busiest following 9 a.m. Jacobs Inventory Pictures Ltd | DigitalVision | Getty Photographs “The only people at museums and galleries at 10 a.m. are family members with very little young children. Rather, we are likely to stack the other end of the day, meeting later — brunch need to by no means begin in advance of 1 p.m. — heading to the footy [football match], lingering more than meal, conference for drinks, then possibly heading to see a demonstrate.

You will find a lot a lot more for vacationers to examine, find and appreciate.” —Petra Loho, Austria Worrying about avenue foods in Bangkok “Bangkok’s name as one particular of the world’s most incredible culinary locations is mostly established on its selections for hawker food.

Content marketing is constantly evolving. We’ve already seen the impact that new technology has had on the digital space, and the way that brands connect with customers is changing every day. The only thing that’s certain to remain is that content marketing is still king. There’s a reason why Seth Godin, one of the thought leaders in the content marketing industry, says that it’s the “only marketing left.” Today’s consumers are no longer converted by the same-old boring strategies of days gone by. People want real, authentic connections with their brands. That’s where content marketing comes in. However, no-one can doubt the effectiveness of content marketing. The tools and tactics we use in this industry are constantly changing. Here’s what you can expect going forward. 1. Discovering the Value in Visuals Visual content is set to continue its growth. Today’s consumers need something beautiful to attract their attention in an age of information overload. Visual social media platforms reign supreme among younger users, with tools like Instagram and YouTube leading the way into the future. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the possibilities of visual content are likely to evolve from now on. For example, companies can create their own distinct snapchat lenses for AR, or get involved with the Facebook Spark AR studio. At the same time, we’ve still got all the impact of video to think about. 80% of consumers say that they typically switch between Google and video when looking for products to buy. What’s more, over 50% of consumers believe that online video has helped them to decide which brand or product they should buy too. To improve your content marketing: - Spend more time playing with graphics: Share infographics on social media or upgrade your Instagram strategy to give your brand a visual impact. - Explore new technology: Don’t be afraid to branch out into the new lanes of content available, including AR/VR and 3D video. They’ll have a huge impact on tomorrow’s digital marketing trends. - Invest in video: Get involved with video wherever you can. You can explore everything from live content to video clips and behind-the-scenes social media snippets. 2. Building Focused Content Strategies The random acts of content need to stop. Companies have to quit wasting time and effort on producing blogs, videos, and podcasts that just aren’t working for their brand. Instead, you need to focus on finding out what’s really going to deliver results for you. So, how do you do that? Google published a blog in the Webmaster Central hub in August 2019 about the concept of “EAT” for search engine growth. In other words, if you want to make an impact, you need content that delivers “Expertise, Authority, and Trust”. Focusing on delivering EAT to your target audience will help to drive better results through higher search rankings, more traffic, and even greater conversions. For example, you can show your “Expertise” by producing an in-depth study about a popular topic in your niche. In fact, I used this content strategy to build up my “Expertise” in the digital marketing niche with this study about a popular Google marketing topic. On the other hand, you don’t have to limit yourself to blogging or an in-depth research topic. You could produce podcast content to demonstrate your authority, by showing that you have connections with other influencers and market leaders. If you can host Q&A sessions with leaders in your space, then you’ll instantly build your own credibility. Finally, with video, you can help audiences to trust you by showing them the human beings behind your brand. Insights into behind-the-scenes operations. Even a quick image of your team posted on Instagram can make a huge impact. 3. Mapping Your Customer Journey In a similar vein to content strategizing, today and tomorrow’s content marketers need to think more carefully about the journeys their customers go through. By understanding who your target audience is, you can improve your chances of speaking to them on their level. That’s far more impactful than producing and publishing random content. 90% of the most successful content marketers achieve their success because they put their audience’s need for specific information above their promotional message. The good news is that it’s becoming increasingly easy to collect information about your audience. You can start by asking your sales teams to collect some of the questions and experiences that are shared with them by customers. There’s also plenty of opportunities to gain feedback from polls, online forums and testimonials too. The more you can learn about your customers and what they need from your business, the more you can deliver content that speaks to them and delivers true value. Additionally, the content that really hits the bullseye with what customers need is also the stuff that ranks first with Google. Update your research by: - Using digital tools to collect data: Use things like Google analytics and social media tools to track how your customers are engaging with you, and what captures their attention. - Asking questions: Actually speak to your target audience. Host polls and competitions give people discounts in exchange for feedback or ask them directly. - Conduct case studies: Ask some of your biggest clients to work with you on a case study so you can get a real insight into how your solutions have benefited them. This will also give you an opportunity to create some great content as Fabrik brands did here: 4. Combining New and Existing Content Strategies We’re likely to see a number of exciting new content opportunities on the horizon. We’ve already mentioned the increasing value of video and AR technology, for instance. Another major emerging trend is voice search. Podcasts are growing increasingly relevant, and smart speaker adoption means that people are spending more time searching for “conversational” content online. In the age of Siri, Alexa, and Google Home, if you can present voice-activated content to your audience, then you can access a brand-new avenue for engagement. In 2019, most of the high-ranking voice activated content created for clients was rooted in helpfulness and information. As consumers get more comfortable in this landscape, we’ll be able to dive a lot deeper into voice trends. For the meantime, concentrate on: - Answering questions quickly and concisely: This will help you to appear in the top spots of the search results when people ask their speakers questions. It can also ramp up your chances of appearing in “position zero” with the search engines. - Write conversationally: Unless you’re publishing a whitepaper, there’s no need to be overly scholarly with your content. Try being a bit more human with the way you write. - Get to know your audience’s language: Figure out what kind of questions your customers are asking, and how they’re asking them. While you’re investing in new forms of content development, however, don’t forget to concentrate on the stuff that still works. Written content hasn’t lost its sparkle yet – particularly when it comes to list-focused posts and easy-to-read content. Additionally, long-form pieces and guides are particularly valuable to people in search of authoritative topics. Many of the leading pieces of content on search engines are several thousands of words long: 5. Updating Your Distribution Strategy Last but not least, if you haven’t updated the way you promote and distribute your content for a while, now could be the time to change all that. It’s more important than ever to make sure that you’re reaching your customers through the right avenues. For instance, 85% of marketers use social media tools to promote their content. Not only is social media incredibly popular, but it comes with a host of useful data too. Social media analytics allows users to collect data from multiple networks and platforms and identify how audiences share and engage with content from your brand. Social media is also an incredibly valuable way to take advantage of the benefits of user-generated content. 85% of consumers find UGC more influential than branded content. If you can find out what inspires your audience to share information, then you can help your customers to do some of your promotion for you. Just look at how Lush supports its own community on Instagram: At the same time, remember to experiment with things like email marketing for promotion too. Consumers are 75% more likely to open content from segmented campaigns than non-segmented campaigns. Your chances of results accelerate drastically when you get specific and target your audience across all platforms from email to Facebook targeting. Final thoughts While the content marketing industry is always changing, one thing that companies can be rest assured of is the fact that content will always be valuable to their brands. According to the Content Marketing Institute report, 95% of companies are committed to content marketing on some level, and the passion for the industry remains strong. Are you ready to stay ahead of the competition? With Crowdfire, you can find curated content, schedule your posts, engage with your audience, deep-dive into analytics and create custom reports.

Imagine just turning 40 and having a ruptured brain aneurism. As you are recovering, COVID hits and you move back home with your parents. This was Andrew Davie’s life and his story of recovery, re-examining his life and starting a new chapter is one you don’t want to miss (it will warm your heart during this holiday season!). Before the aneurysm, Andrew was focused on teaching and writing. However, with the brain trauma and later, COVID, he had time to reflect and discover what would motivate him. He wanted to change his goals to live a more fulfilling life. In 2022, he will go back to school for a clinical mental health counseling program. Through his unique perspective, Andrew is poised to help people who have suffered trauma in their lives. What are the keys to managing through trauma? Resilience, being uncomfortable with uncertainty and taking risks. He is motivated to help others and knows even when he has a bad day, he will be helping others. He knows he is “playing with house money”. Andrew has worked in theater, finance, and education. He taught English in Macau on a Fulbright Grant and has published short stories as well as crime fiction novellas with All Due Respect, Close to the Bone, Alien Buddha Press, and a memoir. He also co-hosts a music podcast/show called, "Happy Hour with Heather and Guest." Connect with Andrew to learn more about him and his background: Sign up for our newsletter at. Please subscribe, leave a review and tell your friends about our podcast. Learn more about the CHARGE® model by purchasing the book, The Way of the HR Warrior.

Keri [00:00:12] Welcome to the reCHARGE® Your Life podcast with me, Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther. We are thrilled to talk to people who have made a decision that reCHARGE® their lives. Often they push themselves out of their comfort zones and took risks. We want to know about that decision point. Why did they make that decision? And most importantly, how can we learn from them? Kelly and I are passionate HR professionals, and together we co-founded our HR consulting firm Abbracci Group. We have talked to amazing people throughout our careers and listen to them as they made decisions that change their lives and knew that these inspirational stories would help others. And why did we call it reCHARGE®? It's based on a book I coauthored called The Way of the HR Warrior, and in it we have a leadership model CHARGE which stands for courage, humility, accuracy, resiliency, goal oriented and exemplary. We know that people used one or more of these qualities to help them make their decisions, and we want to learn from them. Now sit back, listen and be inspired by these stories, and then do something to reCHARGE® your life. Let's get to it. Kelly [00:01:18] Hi, everyone, it's Kelly. We're so honored to have Andrew Davie as our special guest. Andrew has worked in theater, finance and education. He's taught English in Macao on a Fulbright grant, and he's published short stories as well as crime fiction novellas with All Due Respect, Close to the Bone, Alien Buddha Press and a memoir. He's also a survivor of a ruptured brain aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage. He co-hosts the music podcast as well, called Happy Hour with Heather and Guest. Andrew, it's such a pleasure to have you on our show today. We always like to start our podcast by asking what you want, what you like to do when you push yourself and expand your thinking. Andrew [00:02:04] Well, first, thank you so much for having me on. What I like to do to push myself and expand my thinking. Well, I think within the last few years, especially with a lot of downtime during COVID, I would listen to a lot of podcasts that I thought were very inspirational. There's one in particular called the Secular Buddhism Podcast, which I felt was really helpful to sort of keep things in perspective. And there's another one called Philosophize This, which also sort of helped put things in perspective. But mostly reading or listening to podcasts, I think, would be what would help give me the motivation I needed, especially during times, times that are everyone is sort of trying to figure things out. I hope that answered the question, I'm sorry that was...I rambled a little bit. Keri [00:03:05] Oh no, Andrew, absolutely no rambling. You didn't do that at all. Thank you so much. What about each of those podcasts provided inspiration like what's the inspiring part to you? What did what was the message that they gave you? Or that that hook that kept you coming back and listening to it? Andrew [00:03:27] Well, I think what had been interesting is that I had gone from a very personal experience that was difficult to articulate to people having had a brain aneurysm. And then obviously when COVID hit and it became a universal thing, it was difficult at times to keep things in perspective, as I had said. But one of the things that was helpful was sort of learning about how much of what I was experiencing wasn't unique to me. You know that it's that everyone is sort of going through their own difficult times. And that's really what what helped at the end of the day, it wasn't necessarily ideals or a mantra or something. It was more along the lines of just, we're all sort of in this together. I think the biggest thing now that I said no mantras, one of the one of the mantras was, was we're all in different boats, but we're in the same storm. So I felt I felt like those were sorts of things that I could sort of hold on to as I was addressing overwhelming circumstances. Keri [00:04:40] I love that you said there's no mantra, OK, wait, there's one mantra, and I really appreciate that one, because isn't that like one of the best learnings when you realize in a way I'm not that special, right? Like my journey. Like, it might be special to me, but everyone has their kind of journey. Like you said, we're all on these different boats, but it's the same storm. And when you realize that other people have gone through it, not only do you feel like, Oh, I can bond with others on this, but then also your story becomes helpful to other people. So like, what if he got through it? I can do it too. My situation might not be exactly like Andrew's, but I can learn from it and I can. I can survive it as well. That's why Kelly and I love to do this this podcast because of stories that people can share and learn from. And so it's so great to realize you're kind of not in a way, not that special, like everyone has issues that they go through. Andrew [00:05:42] Definitely, I mean, I think that that was sort of when I was in graduate school, one of the authors I enjoyed reading a lot was this guy named David Foster Wallace, and he spoke about how good writing allows people to feel less alone. And I think I sort of have held that to be, you know, for everything. I think, you know, we all have difficulty. But but it gets worse a lot of the time when we feel like we're alone and going through it. So much of what I took from any of the things that I had read or listen to that were really helpful was just to sort of know that this is not like, you know, not unique to me. You know that we're all sort of in the same position. Even though it feels different a lot of the time. Keri [00:06:33] Mm-Hmm. So I like that one as well with your powerful writing doesn't make you feel alone. And you're right, it gets worse because sometimes you get in a situation, you isolate yourself and then you feel more alone and more depressed or more like this. I can never get through this. And so reaching out and talking to other people is so important. So I appreciate just what wonderful ways that you've already helped us, and with the ways that you push your thinking and can help others. So you've kind of alluded to it earlier, and I have a feeling that could be the big thing that changed your life. But what is the decision or something that happened that changed the trajectory of your life? And then what are some of those charged qualities that you use to help you in this in this moment, in this decision, in what happened to you? Andrew [00:07:27] Well, I would say to sort of give more framework before the aneurysm was sort of the big major change that wasn't really my I didn't really have much control over that. Keri [00:07:42] No, you didn't decide to have it. Andrew [00:07:43] And you know what, but it obviously ended up being the sort of the pivotal moment. But before that, I had been teaching high school at the same time that I was trying to establish a career as a writer. So I had thought I looked at myself, you know, most of my colleagues who were teachers, really, I felt a calling for the job, whereas for me, I looked at myself more as a mercenary. You know, the job was a way for me to pay the bills. I mean, I enjoyed it. I certainly connected with the students and there were a lot of moments that were really wonderful, but I was always sort of removed from from looking at it like a calling. And then when the aneurysm happened and I really I couldn't go back to teaching full time and thankfully I could still write, but it wasn't the same sort of goal that I'd had before. So the last few years really have it because I had the aneurysm in twenty eighteen. So. Really, the last I would say from twenty eighteen until about twenty twenty. A lot of what I was trying to do were sort of recommitting myself to the same goals that I'd had before the aneurysm. And then, you know, I couldn't go back to teaching full time. So I got a job as a tutor that was going to start in March of 2020. And then obviously COVID sort of changed the landscape of everything. But it wasn't until I would say this past year that I realized that I couldn't really just use the goals I had had previously to be motivations for me to want to live a fulfilling life, either because the priority that I had where they fell on that list had changed or they were just unattainable now. So I sort of realized that that was the silver lining of Kobe. I had time to sort of really continue to heal physically and emotionally, but also we evaluate what was going to be a motivating factor. So, so I decided to go back to school. So I'll be. I will be. Starting a clinical mental health counseling program in January, which has sort of become my new my new motivating goal to to become a mental health counselor, to try and help people who were struggling with, you know, with going through difficult moments, I sort of felt like I had unique insight that I could offer. But but going back to your question, what were the things I think in in the reCHARGE® acronym? Certainly the endurance quality. I know that's not the exact word, but. But it just sort of being able to be knocked down and getting back up again. I think that's just really important for everyone, whether or not you've had a traumatic brain injury or not. Just understand, you know, understanding that things will work out in some way. At times, we may we may label them as good or bad, but really, it's just a matter of perspective. Most of the time. So I think being comfortable with getting knocked down five times, but getting up six times and sort of being prepared to to keep going. That was probably the biggest, the thing that served me most. Keri [00:11:49] How did Andrew? First, I'm so glad you're healthy and and you've moved past and and you're here with us, so yay on that. What what were when you talked about the goals changing and your the resilience is key? Like you said, what? How did it go kind of mentally when you were like, OK, all these goals have to change because I now have this, this brain aneurysm in my life is different. How easy or difficult and kind of that spectrum was it for you to let go of some of those past goals and create new ones? Sometimes people have a hard time letting go of certain things they thought they wanted when situation has given them a different outlook. So how have how was that for you changing your your goals? Andrew [00:12:41] That is that was actually one of the more difficult things. You know, it was it was strange because. I really didn't know how my recovery was, I was going it was easy. It was sort of easy to chart my physical recovery. You know, in the beginning, I needed to walk with a cane and I had double vision, so I wore an iPad. And eventually, I didn't need the cane anymore, or my double vision pretty much went away. But I also didn't know that I was going to have to recover emotionally, that would be a completely separate phase. And the realization that my goals needed to change didn't happen until very late. I would say within. Probably in between year two and three. And that was a really difficult thing not to accept necessarily, but just to understand that that if I wanted to be fulfilled, perhaps some of the things that I had anticipated from 10 years ago being being the goals would would have to change. So it was difficult not necessarily to come to terms with it, but just to recognize that that was what needed to be the the difference. So, but also, I mean, thankfully, I had a very I had I had and have a very good group of people who are very much able to sort of understand the big picture and the little picture ideas as I go through them. And I have the. The tenacity to want to, you know, in the beginning, it was sort of what I had to sort of navigate through a lot of really difficult moments to arrive at something that's still uncertain. And that was sort of the biggest thing was being comfortable with uncertainty and taking taking a risk and saying, you know what, I had assumed my life would be a certain way or that certain goals would be my lifetime goals. And now I've realized that that's not necessarily the case. But it took a while to feel comfortable enough with that, that that it wasn't really overwhelming. Keri [00:15:19] Mm-Hmm. Andrew, did you did you think before the the aneurysm, did you think, Hey, I'm a pretty resilient and flexible person? Or did you think this is my plan? I'm good in locked and loaded in this plan, like or did this kind of help you become more resilient or already build on your already kind of pretty flexible and resilient? Andrew [00:15:43] I would say. That's a great question. I'd like to think of myself as being pretty flexible and resilient. Back then, I mean, I had. I had ended up in teaching sort of as a through a very circuitous way. I had never planned on being a teacher, so I was sort of open to. Two different opportunities as they presented themselves. I think I'm much more resilient now because I've I've faced much more difficult challenges. I would say that I was probably pretty locked and loaded with regard to wanting to be a writer. And that was kind of the driving force. Whereas now I've sort of accepted that it's not necessarily going, you know, I don't I can't imagine that at some point I will end up on the New York Times bestseller list. I mean, while it's still nice to fantasize about that, I don't really see it as something that could happen. Whereas I think maybe 15 years ago, I didn't really think about it as something that could happen, but that it might happen and that it was a possibility. And that was sort of. An abstract idea that I think I think before the aneurysm, many of my goals were abstract ideas that I didn't really think about how it would work, but they served as sort of a beacon that I could move toward and then subsequently after the end. Plus, you know, I'm as I'm. So I had I had just turned 40 when I had my aneurysm, so so my forties have been a pretty turbulent time. But I think within the last couple of years, I certainly have had a much better perspective with how I just held the trajectory that life usually takes as I approach middle age. You know, and just as life has gone, I mean, I don't again, I don't think you necessarily need to have a brain injury to reconcile that, that certain things in life may not play out the way you had anticipated. Keri [00:18:12] Mm-Hmm. Mm-Hmm. Andrew, what? Because yeah, we said, you obviously didn't choose to have an aneurysm, but you're choosing now to say, I'm going to study clinical mental health. I'm going to help others. I'm going to counsel others. So tell us about when that idea came into your purview because it doesn't sound like you. You know you were focused on writing and teaching. And so teaching still a helping profession. But how did you get into this mental health counseling had? What was that decision like? Andrew [00:18:46] Well, I I so the last year I moved back home with my parents. Because it would just be easier with with COVID happening. I was guaranteed human interaction every day as opposed to if I was just in my apartment by myself and I have a very good relationship with my parents. That was a very it was an enjoyable time. I never I never would have imagined, you know, at the age of 43, living with my folks again would have been fun. Yeah, but what ended up happening is I was looking at teaching positions as I had felt, even though I'd had the tutoring job lined up, which didn't happen. I sort of kept thinking, Well, that's where I've been the most comfortable, so I should probably go back to that profession. And I had begun to feel much more capable of looking at full time teaching again. So what I realized was that while there were aspects of teaching that I would always enjoy. I don't think it would have been something that would have motivated me every single day to want to, you know, if I was having a bad day or, you know, would this be the thing that motivated me to get out of bed and grab the bull by the horns? And I tried to think, OK, well, if teaching is not going to do that, what would? And I had just remembered certain moments when I was recovering from the aneurysm. What helped me the most was, again, those moments that I'd had where I spoke to another patient or a health care professional who had who had reassured me that what I was experiencing wasn't unique to me and that just just feeling because unfortunately, there are, you know, there's not there haven't been that many case studies for people who've experienced what I've experienced and come out through sort of on the other side. I think most, most people who have had ruptured brain aneurysm sadly don't make it or they have some sort of permanent disability. So I thought, OK, that's something that will motivate me every day, wanting to provide guidance for people and also thinking I'm probably one of the few people who've recovered from this enough to be able to provide help or support from that perspective. So that became something where I realized, OK, this is going to be fulfilling, even if it's a rough day. So that that realization was he was a huge kind of step in the right direction for me to feel OK. I may not go back to teaching, and while I can still write and I still get enjoyment out of writing, I don't think that's going to be the thing that does it. But what would be the thing? And then eventually I realized. Possibly counseling in some way. And then, I guess, began looking at programs and. But that was the motivating thing. Keri [00:22:15] And I think it's so beautiful that you were open and kind enough to yourself to say it. I don't think this motivates me the right way anymore. Like you said, grab the bull by the horns. I want to get up and I want to say, Yeah, I want to do this. And even in when the job is tough, you're still going to be fulfilled and asking yourself that question. Lots of people don't ask themselves that question. And they keep kind of going and then maybe have a realization much later in life of going, Oh, I didn't like this. So I just really appreciate that you asked yourself that question and did something about it. And I do love that you're living with your parents and having a good time. Love that intro. Andrew [00:22:59] So well, you know, there have been moments, I, you know, I think. I remember one of the first jobs I'd had after I graduated from college, I worked in a for a theater department in New York City. And I remember being out to dinner with. Some friends of mine, we were all in our early 20s and they both worked in finance and I remember we all paid for the check and we were going to split it and my two friends paid with what looked like platinum business cards and credit cards, and I took out to wadded up five dollar bill. And I remember thinking, OK, this is a little disconcerting because we're all the same age and yet look at the the discrepancy between how we're paying. It wasn't until much later that I realized, Well, I'm also trying to be a writer going and working in the arts. So I think my ability to sort of now at this point in my life say, You know what, let's let's make sure that we're really doing what we want to be doing for the right reasons. It was because I had sort of faith that a couple of times before. And now having been through it a few times and sort of realizing, OK, this is a little bit closer to what's going to give me what I'm looking for. It was only by, you know, having to face that a few times that I felt comfortable to finally be able to to speak truthful about everything, you know. And the other thing is like I. I so, so often I think we measure ourselves against society's expectations that. You know, I at this point, I don't have a family of my own, I don't have a spouse or children, so many of the decisions that I can make are made solely for me rather than to have to think about other obligations I might have. So, so a lot of this is all framed within the luxury I have of just thinking about myself. You know, I think there are a lot of other people out there probably that don't have the luxury of being able to completely reinvent themselves because they do have other obligations they need to take into consideration. So. But not to get ahead of myself that that was sort of being able to make that decision is a factor of a lot of things that I had had going for me that I think I was able to recognize better after the aneurysm. Having dealt with with difficulty and having to endure things and sort of recognizing, OK, you're you're given a clean slate, what do you want to do with that? And it took a while to really feel comfortable to say like, OK, I think I know now how I'm going to reconstruct my life. And. And not really worry so much. Keri [00:26:21] What a powerful message that you just said. Now I have a clean slate. And what a different way you could have looked at it. You could have said, Why did this happen to me? I can't believe this, and I have to mourn everything that I did. I'm not going to do. Instead, you looked at it. I have a clean slate. Now I can. How can I help people? And so speaking of helping people, what is some of your actions or top advice that you have for people going through this experience? What would you what would you say that people should think about? Andrew [00:26:57] Well, I think, you know, I think a lot of people get caught up in thinking, what's what is going to make me happy, which a lot of it's, you know, unfortunate emotions are fleeting most of the time. So one day something is going to make you happy the next day, it's not. So I would say, really try to look at what's going to make you feel fulfilled and try to, you know, sometimes that takes a really long time to figure out. But. But I mean, that's really what you should be focusing on is just what is going to bring you fulfillment. You know, again, what one of the. These days, I try and try to look for silver linings with everything. And one of the silver linings of the last year was sort of being able to completely decompress about everything and being able to think, OK, what is going to allow me to be fulfilled every day or what do I expect will allow me to be fulfilled every day? And and that was really that that was really a focal point. You know, there's always there are always going to be days where I know that I'm going to feel overwhelmed or where things aren't going to be going as well. The other the other thing I've also realized, though, with regard to the clean slate, is that I feel like at this point now I am. I'm playing with house money. That's that's another mantra I thought of. I mean, I. Just to give you a few details, I was about to board a plane when I had my aneurysm and I collapsed on the jetway, so had I boarded the plane, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. And that that was a very, you know, I sort of allowed myself a little bit of time to contemplate the various aspects of that, that things happen to break in just the right way that I wouldn't let myself fully go down the rabbit hole of contemplating all of that. But it also helps later to be like, Well, you're here and they're going to be days where it's really easy, where decisions you don't have to make any decisions. You can just sort of toast and they're going to be days that are really overwhelming. But you're here. And since you're here, why not make the most of the situation, really, if if you didn't have to, if you weren't thinking about how to please other people or about what expectations for someone of your background or your age or things like that, measuring yourself against what what you know, what society or culture thinks. At the end of the day, if you had to make a decision, what would you want to do? And really just being able to sort of guide people who were struggling? I know how much of that meant to me when, when you know, and it could have been a very simple thing, even just somebody telling me, Oh yeah, I've had that happen to me before, you know, just this sort of affirmation that that you're you're doing just fine with what you're doing. So that was really the it was a combination of a lot of those things. And I don't I think I probably wouldn't have been able to have an appreciation for making that decision if I had thought about it a few years ago. I think it really unfortunately took a long time and a lot of things sort of happening that we're both in and out of my control. Keri [00:31:03] Well, I think what you said every time you said something like, oh, I love that more the not the happy part, the fulfilled. So don't worry about being happy, be fulfilled. What's going to make you fulfilled? And I think that's such a powerful. I think that's so powerful. But then you said playing with house money, Andrew and I thought, in a way, aren't we all playing with house money, right? We all just, you know, it's just timing. And we're all kind of on here for a certain amount of time. I just we just don't know how much time we have. And so why don't you make the most of it and be the most fulfilled that you can be while you're doing it? And so what an interesting perspective to say we're all playing with house money. It's not just you that was three minutes away from crossing into the plane and a very different outcome. But I want to ask you, Kelly, such a powerful story, and Andrew speaks so beautifully about it. And what are some of your thoughts on what Andrew has shared with us? Keri [00:32:05] Well, first of all, Andrew, thank you for for being vulnerable and for sharing what I imagine has had to have been just an incredibly scary situation that you lived through and you survived and to be in a position to where you want to pay it forward and help other people survive whatever it is that they're going through in life. Just a what a gift that you're giving to people. So thank you for that. I wonder, did you did you yourself engage in talking with someone, know working with a mental health counselor or therapist? Just be curious to know if that was something that that you participated in on your journey to recovery. Andrew [00:32:51] Yes, I have spoken to a few different therapists within the last couple of years. It's. I had gone to one who specializes in post-traumatic stress disorder because I felt like there were days where I was really having difficulty. One of the unfortunate side effects that I've had over the last few years is it's difficult to make emotional connections with certain things. So I've been working with someone who is what's known as a Somatic Experience Therapist to sort of help me get get back in touch with some of the more fleeting emotions these days. But but yeah, I've I've definitely gone to some people seen counseling. There was a great support group I'm part of called Brain Injury Services. So that's been I had a case manager there for a while, so I felt I found a bunch of different either either health care professionals or support groups that have been really helpful in in in providing the support along the way. Kelly [00:34:10] Thank you. And I love that you've taken that experience and and looked for ways in which you can offer your insights and in a thoughtful way, in a meaningful way to help change someone else's perspective on what they're going through. You mentioned also having a really powerful support network of people around you. What were some of the things that they did that helped you? Just work through whatever it it what it was that you were working through, whether it was the physical healing, emotional healing, continual healing, what was it specifically that that network offered to you? Because I think there's a lot of people who are looking to help others who might be in situations where they're struggling. Maybe it's with a health issue, maybe it's financial, maybe it's they're going through something personally in life. And I often wonder, what can I do to help this person? What? What was it for you that that that those individuals made the difference? Andrew [00:35:14] Well, I think. You know, a lot a lot of times I think people will assume that what you're discussing is a problem that needs to be solved, so they'll try to think of answers. What was really helpful for me is just people who would listen. And I would sort of dictate what I needed if I needed anything. A lot of times, you know, I just needed somebody to hear what I was saying. So I think if you can be there for people as just a good listener, a lot of the time people tend to not necessarily figure out their problems on their own, but just being able to sort of articulate what's bothering them. It is really helpful. So, I mean, it was certainly helpful for me so that I would say that's probably. Just knowing that I could count on somebody to be there, I think was really helpful. So just letting somebody know that you're there for them, whatever they need and then just be being supportive however the person needs it, rather than trying to think of ways to solve their problems, just sort of give them the shoulder to cry on. Kelly [00:36:38] Thank you. Such a powerful reinforcement of of just being just another human being kind, being sincere and meeting that person where they're at. To your point, it's not a problem. It has to be solved. You're working through those things. It's it's being an advocate by just simply listening. Who would have thought, right? Just an amazing, simple thing to do. And yet sometimes it can be very, very difficult or doesn't always come as naturally as we think we have to do something larger or more grandiose. And really, some days it's just listen, just listen to me. So I again, I just my continued best wishes for you and your your continued recovery and obviously much luck to you in in school. Looking forward to hearing and following your journey and again, the idea of taking the experience that you have that you have overcome, that you've lived through as you've survived, you've told us here today and that you're providing others with the time and the space to themselves be validated to share their fears, but also hear how they can work to overcome those things and find what truly fulfills them. This has been such an incredibly powerful and poignant podcast for me to listen to. And so I look forward to to to everyone hearing your story because it's just it. It really is all about not taking life for granted and not taking the situations that even mundane ones for granted. Andrew [00:38:11] Thank you. Yes, I truly appreciate you giving me the chance to speak with you and I appreciate the conversation we've had. Kelly [00:38:21] We look forward to following you, Andrew, and your continued success. We encourage all of our listeners to connect with Andrew Davey for to hear a powerful, more powerful, inspirational thoughts from him. And again, we will include all of the information the podcast references. I will include the Brain Injury Services group that you mentioned as well for anyone who's just looking for additional support or more information. So again, thank you so much, Andrew, for sharing your story with us and we look forward to following you in the future. Andrew [00:38:55] Great. Thank you so much for having me.

) Transition to Ministry Meets at San Alfonso Retreat House December 6 , 2021 by Fr. Pete Schavitz, C.Ss.R. Along the Atlantic shore of San Alfonso Retreat House in West End, NJ, the Transition to Ministry and Apostolic Community met on November 15-19 for our second scheduled week-long session of the calendar year. There were 13 participants from the Extra-Patriam Vice Province, seven from the Baltimore Province, three from Denver –Fathers Chung Tran, John Son Tran and Huy Vu – and one from Canada. Two confreres from the Extra-Patriam Vice Province had good reason to be absent: one is studying in Canada and the other lives and ministers in the Czech Republic. Monday was a travel day given the fact that most participants minister in parishes and then had to travel some distances. By Monday evening, everyone had arrived safely and enjoyed the chance to reunite over pizza. Tuesday morning began with the welcoming of eight new participants: five men from the Extra-Patriam Vice Province and three men from the Baltimore Province. The morning was spent in three smaller groups checking in with one another. After lunch, Fr. Maurice Nutt of our New Orleans community presented on the topic “Racism in Ministry.” Fr. Maurice is filled with a wealth of knowledge and experience and engaged us well. The afternoon ended with Eucharist. Following dinner, there was another hour session on the same topic. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing with each other and enjoying more food! A key part of the program is to allow participants a chance to rest and reconnect. That was accomplished on Wednesday. Thursday morning a panel of three – Redemptorist Fr. Kenny Gaddy (African-American) stationed in Baltimore, Sr. Ivette Diaz, RSM (Puerto Rican/Latina) living and ministering in New York, and Fr. Joseph Lu, a diocesan priest living in our Redemptorist community in Brooklyn who ministers to Chinese parishioners – shared their experiences of racism in community life. The discussion was followed by small group discussions before the group gathered back together for a plenary session that took us to lunch. All of the panelists allowed us to tread on the sacred ground of their private lives, which led to lively sharing in both the small and large group discussions. Thursday afternoon we evaluated our time together first in groups and then in plenary session. Both presentations, as well as the presenters, were much appreciated, and the discussions found to be beneficial. Prior to dinner, we celebrated Eucharist. After our meal, we gathered for Eucharistic adoration before spending the rest of the night in conversation and playing games, all the while sharing more food and drink. Throughout our time together, each participant spent individual time with their Unit director. We concluded our time together on Friday with Mass and breakfast before everyone began the trek back to their assignments for weekend ministry. We thank our confreres at West End for their hospitality. We will return to San Alfonso on May 16-20, 2022 for our next week-long session. Patrick Hayes, archivist for the Baltimore Province, will join us to share about the early years of the Redemptorists in North America. Our other scheduled presenter is Wendy Barnes, a Lay Missionary of the Most Holy Redeemer who works at Liguori Publications and is a longtime Partner in Mission (PIM). Among other things, she will address the formation of PIM Circles at the local level. (Courtesy of DenverLink.)

The issue (and reason for 1 star) is that the right side of the sole almost completely separated from the upper after a little less than two months (Aug 6 – Sep 29). Even though I was outside of the return window Amazon sent a replacement pair which I received Oct 1. Upon reviewing the same seam you can see the adhesive is missing in spots and if you apply any inward pressure to the upper that the seam is going to separate again. After hearing so many good reviews on Keens (friends, family, websites) I expected a much higher quality boot only to be very thoroughly disappointed. Kudos to Amazon though on handling the situation! Andy – Well.. I got my boots in today. I was excited because I finally have some real hiking boots as I’ve always used my military boots and realized it was time to have a dedicated pair. Now, here’s the thing..I filed for an exchange as soon as I saw the boots and this is why. First off, I get that their hiking boots and that it’s a leather material so anything that touches it is going to scar it up. Unfortunately, the pair I got looks like someone got it, wore it for a bit, and then returned it. It’s as simple as that. The reason I think they were returned is because it was marked up with scratches and already looked like it was broken in already. Also, the sole doesn’t look like it’ll stay together for very long. It might just be me, and I get that this is Amazon and if something doesn’t fit right or doesn’t meet someone’s expectation, they return it. To be honest, I could keep them and call it a day, but the fact that I’m questioning them, especially for the price that I paid and the amount of stress that will potentially be put on them, I figure it would be best to be safe and not sorry. I added some pics of what I was talking about, so you can be the judge of whether I’m wasting my time exchanging them or not. Can’t wait to get the new pair and get them on the ground! I’ll update again when they come in. *Update* Got the second pair really fast! Only downside is that they were worse than the first pair…lol. look. I just want a new pair or a spot that doesn’t look like someone took them for a spin then decided they didn’t want them back. If you look at the second group of pics(I know they all look similar) the toe has what looks like hot glue on it and overall the shoes look dingy. If you buy these shoes, I’m sure they’re great. I’m just not happy that the couple pairs that I received both looked broken in and i can’t say this is neither Amazon’s or keens fault, it’s just my luck of the draw. My biggest disappointment is that I now have to return 2 pairs of these and I can’t even get a refund..only option was a Amazon gift card. I’m now not only going to have to head to REI or someplace equivalent (which is what I should’ve done in the first place), but I also won’t receive an actual refund for these.. *Bottom line* If you decide on getting these, just expect that they most likely have been tried on and walked around or hiked in by other people which means the $130+ you pay for these may possibly be for second hands that might not look as nice as you hoped. Phillip – This is my third pair of Keens in a row that have failed. Two sets of soles had glue failures and came off . On my current pair the shoe laces eyes broke. Keens customer service didn’t seem to care and wouldn’t help. I have had no other shoe failures during that time. I wouldn’t recommend Keen, thier priced like a quality product but built cheaply and don’t stand buy thier product. Farmer Alec – I bought these boots as a replacement for the older model of the same boot. I use them for work on my Market Garden where they encounter, wet mucky conditions, puddles of water and occasionally dry dusty conditions. They are also very comfortable for digging. I am delighted with them and can recommend them for general use. Keen Targhee II 5216 studentct – These boots were highly recommended for people with bad knees. I bought them for a family member as a 61st birthday gift. When he went to walk in the boots the whole inside shifted with each step. So his feet were not stable. The tongue seemed short. I bought these as a gift however, due to the pandemic, I was not able to give him the boots and keen insoles( that were too wide) until after the 30 day return period ended. I spent a month calling Keene daily with no answer. Went on their website. Tried the help button, that was not working. I sent several emails not were never answered. I am very disappointed in the quality of the Keene products and their customer service. I now have defective products totaling over 100.00 that I cannot use. I will never buy this companies products again and will discourage anyone thinking about buying from them from wasting their money. Eddy K. – New boots fell apart before end of 8 day backpack trip. I was referred to Keen by a friend who has used Targhee II Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot for years. I spent approximately 16 hours on mild hiking trails to break these boots in for my trip. few days prior to trip I noticed the uppers were beginning to separate from the soles, so I bought some shoe cement to touch them up because I did not have time for an alternate pair. Before the end of the 8 day trip the uppers on one had ripped away exposing 3 inches of the inside of my boot and the other 3 sides of both pairs were about to tear as well. My backpack partners supposed waterproof Targhee II put him in a precarious situation of soaked feet in below freezing weather. I count recommend or trust this brand. Even worse – Keen replaced the boots and out of the box the seal between the uppers and soles are inconsistent and appear to be ready to start the Keen glue degeneration as soon as I put them to light use! I called and they were unwilling to refund monies so I could by a more reliable brand! Don’t have to be kicked by this mule twice to know to stay away 🙁 Additionally, I’ve bought shoes for probably 45 years and their sizes did not come close to all the multitudes of shoes and brands I have purchased. There are other reviews similar – BEWARE! avano – Light, comfortable, dry and stable on unstable rock. Rob – I was hesitant to buy a pair of footwear on line but I am glad I did. I ordered a half size larger than normal as most reviews suggested. I have a bit of a wider foot and they fit fine. They are not tight at all which gives room for a good sock and any foot swelling from hiking. They appeared a bit bulky out of the box but as other reviews suggested they are much lighter than they appear. Well made product. I have had no issues so far. Mark Perry – This is my second pair of these boots. I was very pleased with the first pair. The current pair has not done very well at all. I just purchased them in November and it is May (6 months) now and the bottoms are falling apart. I’m trying to get in touch with Keen to see if they will send me a pair of replacement boots. I think that I should get more than six months wear from a premium pair of boots. I would expect a cheap pair of boots from a discount store to wear out this quick but not a $100 + pair of boots. 😡

Global Hack Weekend, the largest hackathon in Eastern Europe, gathered around 1,000 participants with 100 project ideas. Fintech innovations had a special focus at the event because the main sponsors were Mastercard and Privatbank, the largest state-owned Ukrainian bank. Also, particular attention was paid to the entertainment industry, enabling hackathon participants to enjoy prototypes of mobile games and VR duels on virtual magic wands from the Harry Potter world. In the event, there were four hackathon teams that identified novel means of using the REMME Distributed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI d) protocol. One of the teams used REMME as copyright protection. This is a very interesting case that confirms that the capabilities of the protocol are much broader than ensuring the transparency and reliability of authentication and data transmission. Timestamping via blockchain for protecting and confirming copyright The Imagery is a tool to protect images and photos from being stolen or resold. It helps to register digital copyright and authorship with blockchain. The service monitors the web using AI and tracks cases of violations. The project aims to provide support with creative claims and legal help to protect the owner’s rights. The concept’s first adopters and partners should be image banks and related resources for photo processing. In addition to REMME, the team that devised the concept used the following technologies: NEM, Ethereum, Solidity, Google AI Services, Node.js, Vue.js, and MongoDB. How REMME was used: You upload your photo to the website that helps you to sign it with a REMME certificate and store its hash on REMChain with a timestamp. In the case of an intellectual property legal dispute, that record can provide an additional argument for protecting your ownership claim. Web authentication using OAuth standard with REMME protocol ManagerRigs have created an application that increases income from mining. Income is guaranteed to be higher than that predicted by whattomine.com, the largest independent online calculator of profitability. The team developed methods to increase profits from mining including the creation of a client application and a customer portal providing complete statistics on equipment revenue and operation. A server part and admin panel were also devised for simple system management. How REMME was used: The team used a special OAuth server to provide secure authentication to service users. This was the second successful adoption of the OAuth standard with the REMME protocol, after the use case for a mobile app proposed at the previous hackathon. Encrypted data sharing The idea was to build an anonymous distributed encrypted data sharing system using IPFS and REMME PKI (d) protocol. Potential adoption of the system could make sense for corporations requiring secure exchange of sensitive financial, technological and strategic data between employees. How REMME was used: Each user passes registration and gets a REMME certificate that plays the role of the identifier and the key to encrypt files that were transferred to one user to another. In the project, REMME played a crucial role in providing the main means by which users could trust that kind of data exchange. Distributed validation of domain ownership Finally, the winner of REMME challenge at the Global Hack Weekend was the R3 team that worked on the implementation of biometric data in REMME certificates at the previous hackathon. The task was to find out the way how REMME digital certificates can confirm ownership of the domain. The idea was to propose the person who asks such confirmation to store the specific file on the server that will show that he has a required level of access. It wasn’t a simple assignment because the confirmation should be gotten in a decentralized way through some consensus decision. How REMME was used: Let’s imagine that John has a user’s server and he wants to bind a certificate to it. We use REMChain to generate a certificate, specify the DNS from the user’s server, specify the public key of the certificate, and REMChain then returns the transaction ID. This transaction ID will be the file that John will need to upload to the user server. In this case, we do not need to choose a file name by consensus. If the attacker sends a request, they will receive other hashes which the actual user did not place on the server. After that, a server ownership verification transaction is generated on the blockchain. This transaction means asking the validator nodes to validate your DNS. Nodes send requests to the server and check if there is a file there. This process was designed with the principle that it is better not to store the correct transaction than to store the wrong one. After a transaction has been validated, all signatures are collected and a new transaction is created in which there is a solution determining success or failure. Participation in hackathons for REMME is an important activity for obtaining feedback on our development process. We get a chance to see how teams follow our advice and integrate the protocol as a tool for authentication. We also observe that developers who are already somewhat familiar with our protocol are able to go beyond our vision and look for new, innovative applications for REMChain. We pay special attention to those teams that have actually become part of our technical community and continue to work with REMME from hackathon to hackathon. It is these teams that can help not only to find new ways to apply certificates but also to give important feedback on improving REMME Core and other crucial components of our solution. Thank you for being with us! Stay tuned and join our Tech community!

Farmers' Attitudes Towards Treated Sludge (Biosolids) use in Agriculture: Evidence from Jordanian Badia Author(s) MetadataShow full item record Limited access Citation Masnat El-Hiary, Boubaker Dhehibi, Ala Awaideh, Omamah Taysir Taher Hadidi, Mira Haddad, Stefan Strohmeier. (26/1/2021). Farmers' Attitudes Towards Treated Sludge (Biosolids) use in Agriculture: Evidence from Jordanian Badia. Jordan: National Agricultural Research Center (National Center for Agricultural Research and Extension) (NARC (NCARE)). Abstract The application of treated sludge (biosolids) on agricultural land has been widely acknowledged, given the cost-effectiveness of this method and its easy use. When appropriately applied to agricultural land, sludge can replenish organic matter and nutrients in the soil. Although treated biosolid has been used in agriculture in many parts of the world, its acceptability varies with farmers' different cultures and beliefs. Literature review reveals that farmers' concerns on sludge use are primarily due to its anthropogenic origin, pollutants that it carries, and a general perception of treated biosolid being unsafe and risky. This research investigates farmers' perceptions of land application of treated sludge (biosolid) on their farm. This study targeted Al Majeddyeh farming community located in Jordanian Badia. Surveys were conducted with randomly selected 20 farmers in this village. Overall, farmers' perception of land application of treated biosolids is negative, and the majority of the farmers don't want to use treated biosolids for several reasons such as their trust in the suitability of the treated biosolid; concerns on the consumed product (transfer of disease); lack of knowledge on the biosolid properties and advantages and disadvantages of sludge use in agriculture. In terms of the most critical factors influencing farmers' fertilizer purchasing decision were: the safety of fertilizer, nutrient content, organic matter, water holding capacity, recommended by a trusted source, suggested volumes apply, price of the fertilizer, fertilizer application, and know of someone who used it. The survey also revealed that all respondents didn't use treated biosolids before. In terms of accepting manure mixed with biosolids, most of the respondents refused manure mixed with biosolids, and only 20% accepted this mixture. This study's findings are valuable for Jordanian decision-makers in their roles to promote the use of treated bio-solid sludge as fertilizers and soil conditioners. The Agriculture and Extension Services in the Agriculture Ministry should encourage farmers to use treated sludge (biosolid) in their community. Results suggest that land application of biosolid sludge can be accepted by more farmers if farmers are well trained for the safe and effective use of treated biosolid. Launching awareness programs about the benefits of treated biosolids and improving farmers' perceptions on its land application; raising public awareness by holding training workshops and conducting surveys about the efficient application of treated sludge (biosolid).

Want to feel confident using a menstrual cup? Check this out. The average woman who uses tampons every month will buy more than 10,000 tampons in her lifetime. These tampons carry various chemicals that aren’t healthy for the human body. Unfortunately, the alternatives are sparse. In fact, many believe the only other option they have is sanitary pads, which aren’t that much better. Today, however, new products are entering the market, one of which is the reusable menstrual cup. Because these products are new to most women, here are 10 tips to help you feel more comfortable using one. 1. Read the Instructions Before You Get Started All the best menstrual cups will come with a set of instructions. You should read these before you even think about using your cup. Using a menstrual cup may seem simple but the instructions will share different techniques on how to insert it. These instructions will also teach you what to do if it leaks. You’ll learn how to remove it the right way. 2. Get the Feel for It and Relax Using a menstrual cup is new to most women. With this in mind, get the feel for your new friend. You don’t have to rush the process. After all, you’ll be using it every month, so it’s important you feel comfortable and relaxed. You could also try your menstrual cup for the first time when you’re not on your period. It’s a great way to get used to the feeling of it. But, don’t leave the cup in place. Simply have a quick walk around, remove it, and wash it. 3. Wet the Cup If you’re not relaxed using your menstrual cup, you may need some extra moisture to insert it. Wetting your cup will make the experience more comfortable. You can also use water or a water-based lubricant around the edges of your vagina. If you feel uncomfortable, it may be worth trying to insert your period cup for the first time while in the shower. How to Insert a Menstrual Cup 4. Don’t Place Your Cup Too High Unlike with a tampon, you don’t have to insert a period cup high. Your cup should be no higher than a centimeter from the opening of your vagina. By placing it too high, there won’t be the right amount of suction. Without the suction, your cup is more likely to leak. This is one of the key reasons that women use period cups with panty liners. While many use these cups for the health benefits, others use them to have a positive impact on the environment. Unfortunately, using them with a panty liner makes these efforts redundant. 5.

Relying on how a lot time you spend on TikTok (we definitely spend greater than we’d wish to admit), you’re in all probability at the very least vaguely conversant in the idea of TikTok dances. Most of them contain transferring (primarily) the highest half of the physique — arms, shoulders, possibly a hip shake or two. On TikTok (as usually occurs in actual life), dances are inclined to go viral at the side of a selected music. The result’s a bunch of individuals doing the identical dance to the identical music — and a bunch extra individuals watching it occur. Just lately, a brand new dance development has been gaining recognition on the video-sharing app — though because it seems, it’s really not a brand new development in any respect! It’s known as waacking and it’s truthfully form of superb. Right here’s what that you must find out about it. Waacking has formally come to TikTok – however what’s it? When you watch a number of TikTok movies utilizing the #waacking tag, you’ll shortly begin to see what makes it such an ideal match for TikTok. As we talked about, most TikTok dances focus totally on arm and upper-body motion. That’s true of waacking, too. Most waacking actions contain fast, rotational arm actions that look actually spectacular. Though waacking’s introduction to TikTok has solely occurred lately, waacking itself has been round for many years. It originated as a type of road dance created in Los Angeles’ underground LGBT golf equipment through the 1970s. You’ll be able to even see early examples of waacking on previous episodes Soul Prepare. Actually, many credit score Soul Prepare with introducing the dance to a nationwide viewers. Its look on the present additionally influenced the creation of LA-based dance group Outrageous Waack Dancers. Based on The New York Occasions, lots of the originators of waacking — a few of whom referred to the dance as “punking” or “whacking” — died of AIDS within the many years following the dance’s rise in recognition. Nevertheless, waacking by no means utterly disappeared, and it’s now having fun with an enormous resurgence due to social media apps like TikTok. (Waacking can be huge on Instagram as of late.) You might also acknowledge waacking for those who’re a fan of Steven Universe. The character of Garnet makes use of waacking dance strikes to summon her magical weapons and fuse with different characters. (If you happen to’re not a fan of Steven Universe, we notice that’s in all probability a really complicated sentence to learn — nevertheless it’s undoubtedly value trying out!) Lastly, you will have seen waacking on So You Suppose You Can Dance. In 2011, trendy waacker Kumari Suraj choreographed a dance for the present. One other waacker generally known as Princess Lockerooo competed on the present that very same 12 months (although she didn’t make it previous the second spherical). If you wish to be taught waacking, you’re in luck! There’s in all probability by no means been a better time to select it up, due to the dance’s on-line recognition. There are tons of waacking tutorials on TikTok the place dancers decelerate their actions to make it simpler so that you can be taught — in any other case, you’d in all probability be fairly misplaced given how loads of waacking depends on very quick actions. Joyful waacking! Add Comment

Tralfamadore Tralfamadore is a fictional planet in Kurt Vonnegut’s novels. In The Sirens of Titan, it is a planet in the Small Magellanic Cloud that is home to a civilization of machines. The details of the indigenous alien race, the Tralfamadorians, vary from novel to novel. In God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, Tralfamadore is a hypothetical foreign planet. Slaughterhouse-Five The Tralfamadorians have one eye and suction cups, can see in four dimensions, and can perceive any point in time at will, and their attitude toward death is “So it goes,” as if they accept that everything comes to an end. How do you describe a Tralfamadorian book? The book can be summarized as follows: “There is no particular relationship between all the messages, except that the author has carefully chosen them so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful, surprising, and deep.” What is the main message of Slaughterhouse-Five? The destructiveness of war is a major theme in Slaughterhouse-Five, with the protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, and other characters such as Paul Lazzaro, Bernard O’ Harry, and even the author, suffering physical and psychological devastation as a result of the war. What is the purpose of the Tralfamadorians in Slaughterhouse-Five? Tralfamadore is the home of beings who exist in all times simultaneously, and are thus privy to knowledge of future events, including the destruction of the universe at the hands of a Tralfamadorian test pilot, as depicted in the 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five. Why is Slaughterhouse-Five important? u201cSlaughterhouse-Fiveu201d is also a novel humane enough to allow for the possibility of hope at the end of the horror that is its subject; its final passage describes the end of the war and the liberation of the prisoners, among whom are Billy Pilgrim and Vonnegut himself. What is the meaning of poo tee weet? To end the book with a meaningless statement, an answerless question, echoes our inability to account for the devastation of war. What do humans look like to Tralfamadorians? Humans aren’t seen as two-legged creatures by Tralfamadorians, who see them as giant millepedes with “babies’ legs on one end and old people’s legs on the other,” according to Billy Pilgrim. Who said everything was beautiful and nothing hurt? Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt (Breakfast with Amy album) is a line from Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse-Five, published in 1969. What tralfamadore means? Tralfamadore represented the idealized vision of a utopian world, a perfect society devoid of sadness or emotion; the Tralfamadorians’ lack of emotion is symbolized by the fourth dimension they achieve. What is the meaning of so it goes? So-it-goes meaning Filters is a phrase that expresses acceptance of life’s misfortunes; that’s life; such is life. What does Paul Lazzaro say is the sweetest thing in life? He claims that revenge is the sweetest thing in life, claiming that he once fed a dog that had bitten him a steak filled with sharp metal pieces and watched it die in agony. Lazzaro reminds Billy of Roland Weary’s final wish and advises him not to answer the doorbell after the war. Why do the other POWs refuse to let Billy sleep near them? Because Billy kicks, whimpers, and yells in his sleep, the other POWs in Slaughterhouse Five refuse to let him sleep near them, and they are marched to sheds occupied by middle-aged British POWs. What is the Tralfamadorian concept of time? When Billy is kidnapped, he realizes that all people and things are trapped in life’s collection of moments like bugs trapped in amber, and that the Tralfamadorian concept of time emphasizes the role of fate in shaping existence and completely rejects free will. What is the irony in Slaughterhouse-Five? We already know that Billy will survive war and a plane crash, despite the fact that he is unsuited to a life of danger and hardship, which is an overarching irony in Slaughterhouse-Five. What age is appropriate for Slaughterhouse-Five? Slaughterhouse Five, a classic work, is rated “iffy” for 14 to 18-year-olds but is widely taught in high school. Judy Blume’s novel, Are You There God?, is rated “iffy” for 14 to 18-year-olds but is widely taught in high school. What happens at the end of Slaughterhouse-Five? Edgar Derby is discovered with a teapot found in the ruins during the excavations, while the men are still under German command. He is arrested and convicted of plundering, then executed by firing squad. Soon it is spring, and the Germans disappear to fight or flee the Russians, and the war comes to an end.

By Ellen Svehla The entire nation was shocked when Loyola University Chicago’s basketball team made it to the Final Four. Although the Ramblers lost to the University of Michigan on March 31, the university itself scored a big win. There’s been a massive surge in student applications, web site traffic, merchandise sales, alumni engagement and public awareness. The boost schools receive after winning in a national tournament is known as the Flutie Effect. The theory is named after Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie, who threw an improbable last-second “Hail Mary” pass that resulted in a game-winning touchdown against the University of Miami in 1984. After that legendary game, applications to Boston Colllege went up by 30 percent. Other universities have also been touched by the Flutie Effect. Applications to Florida Gulf Coast University increased by 27.5 percent following their 2013 NCAA run. Visits to the university’s website increased from 47,067 to 230,985. In 2008, after a string of March Madness wins, George Mason University saw their applications increase by 22 percent. And now, it’s Loyola’s turn. According to USA Today, the university has already seen a 400 percent increase in traffic to the school’s website. The campus bookstore sold 5000 Sister Jean bobbleheads during a 48 hour period in March, according to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. The university newspaper, The Phoenix, reported that the bookstore’s sales are up by 300 percent over last year. David Kamerer, Associate Professor in Public Relations and Digital Media at Loyola, is thrilled by the earned media and increased marketing reach the university has gained from March Madness. Kamerer says, “The key thing here is that this puts us in a stronger recruiting position. In the future, people will think of us as a legitimate basketball school. The Ramblers have elevated our status to a new level, and this status will remain as long as we continue to perform well as a collective university.” While many of Loyola’s student body and faculty are excited about the university’s newfound athletic success, others are concerned that Loyola’s infrastructure can’t support a tidal wave of new students. Loyola senior Cami Santos, desk receptionist at the sophomore dorm Bellarmine, says, “I’ve watched what the growing class sizes have done to the housing situation already. Rooms that were initially meant for two students are being used for triples and quads, and res-life doesn’t seem to have the resources or accommodations to handle everyone living on campus.” College basketball teams that do unexpectedly well in March Madness see up to 30% increases in enrollment the following year. In light of this, Loyola University Chicago President Jo Ann Rooney has promised to work with the school’s admissions office to lower academic class sizes for the next academic year. Santos says, “I don’t think she or anyone else is prepared for the influx of students interested in Loyola for the next year.” Others think that a large number of incoming first year and transfer collegiates could benefit current students, especially when it comes to the cost of tuition. Junior Drew Paul, who plays on Loyola’s club basketball team, says, “I think the NCAA will increase the amount of applicants Loyola receives for this upcoming fall. Hopefully, this will decrease tuition or at least keep it the same for next year.” According to Erin Moriarty, Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Loyola, the class of 2022 is estimated to be the largest class in the university’s history. She also says they’re the smartest – they have higher average GPA and ACT scores than the previous class. Moriatry believes this will increase the university’s overall ranking, making degrees from Loyola more valuable. How do you feel about the university’s newfound fame? Leave a comment below.

By Sarah Mahaney, Loyola First-Year Almost a full year into the pandemic, university business students are having to learn the ins and outs of a complex industry from a screen. Therefore, students wanting to create their own businesses are limited by the effects of the educational reality. Grant Bardelli is a third-year Information Systems and Marketing student at Loyola University Chicago and the founder of Bridge LUC— a website that compiles all of the student businesses started at Loyola. The goal of Bridge is to inspire collaboration between student businesses at Loyola and bring people together. Bardelli started his own small business at the height of the pandemic called Bardelli’s Market. When beginning this endeavor, Bardelli reached out to other students who managed businesses to learn about their process. He found that this was the most effective way to learn more about growing his business. This was the inspiration behind Bridge LUC. *Interview has been edited for length and clarity. Sarah Mahaney: Tell me about Bridge LUC and what you do. Grant Bardelli: Bridge LUC is a website I started to compile all of the small businesses at Loyola. The goal is to keep a central location, almost like a directory, so that people can go and find ideas started by other Loyola students. These businesses can be anything from apps to t-shirt shops. Mahaney: So are you a small business owner yourself? Bardelli: I started a sign shop called Bardelli’s Market at the beginning of the quarantine. I wanted to start a business and learn more about the process. The issue I ran into was growing it. There wasn’t much information on the internet that was relevant to college students. However, I did know a few other Loyola students who had small businesses and began to build a connection with them. I realized it would be nice if there was somewhere to go where you could see other business owners and their work. I’ve found that the other entrepreneurs I’ve talked to enjoy talking to other small business owners. It has made for a really cool shared experience. Mahaney: What does it mean for you to be able to collaborate with other entrepreneurs? Bardelli: Something that I’ve found is that it’s given me a lot of inspiration to keep going. There have been times where I’m unsure if others are even noticing my work; the people on Bridge can stay up to date with my work and we can discuss ideas. I’m really hoping that once COVID’s over, we’ll be able to do some stuff in person. I’m currently looking forward to bringing people together. People could use these events to engage with other business owners and hopefully learn from them. Mahaney: What have you learned from creating this platform? Bardelli: The biggest thing I’ve learned is how to create a website. I learned that I really like design and coming up with ideas. I’ve also learned a lot from the people: different ways to grow businesses or different ways to do things. I think I will continue to learn even more, the longer I do this. In relation to the business, I originally thought of Bridge to be inclusive to all college students in the country. However, I had a difficult time growing it and I couldn’t get enough people to join. I learned that businesses benefit more from larger engagement. So when I shifted it just to Loyola, I was able to grow the community faster. Mahaney: What is next for Bridge? Bardelli: In the short-term, I want to grow student engagement. I am currently trying to do this online though I think it would be easier to do it in-person. In the long-term, I would like to bring it to another school to see how it compares, and if it goes well then keep expanding. For more information about Bridge LUC please visit:

However, if the number of stops per delivery route increases beyond 4 and there are a number of vehicles in the fleet, manual route optimisation of deliveries can become too complicated, time consuming and deliver inefficient results. Route Optimisation Software offers a faster and proven solution to the problem, several factors can then easily be taken into consideration when calculating optimised routes: Efficiency is the ultimate goal, but the shortest distance between two points may not be the most efficient. A good delivery route optimisation tool will also consider the time of day, traffic patterns and expected travelling speeds, the direction of turns and even any required driver’s rest stops. The Descartes Route Optimisation Tool uses clever mathematical algorithms and AI learning, plus the latest map data from several major mapping companies, in order to calculate and compare multiple routes for deliveries. Due to the computing power and capacity for processing calculations within the Descartes route optimisation engine it is possible for it to handle millions of calculations a minute, allowing continuous route optimisation of deliveries and results within minutes. Routes are recalculated and compared even as orders for delivery are received and this can be right up until a vehicle leaves the depot . (Infographic: - Advantages of continuous route optimisation) These routes compare numerous possibilities and take into consideration; The routing engine can even use the height, length, weight and width of a vehicle to select a route that avoids low or weak bridges and width restrictions, producing different routes for a van compared to a large lorry. This information is then passed through to execution of the route and can be integrated with the vehicle's satnav, ensuring the satnav has the correct dimensions for the vehicle and routes that avoid restricted locations. Conducting 'what if' scenarios and analysing or considering various possible changes, such as the effect of increasing or reducing the fleet size or type of vehicles, the location or number of depots and the increase or decrease in order volumes, enables companies to improve their planning and readiness for the future. Ready to see Descartes Route optimisation in action? Improved customer satisfaction as orders are delivered on time and a reduced office workload as the number of phone calls enquiring after deliveries diminishes. Achieve more efficient route plans than traditional batch-based optimisation techniques and provide costed delivery options at the point of sale in seconds. Very accurate route times are possible using road speeds that are based upon the day, the time of day, the route taken and even the direction of travel, giving you confidence in the route schedule and your customers delivery times.

GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS TO CONTROL HEAD LICE Head lice are parasitic insects that are transmitted by contact with an infested person or item such as a rug, couch or car seat and/or by the exchange of hats, clothing, helmets, headphones, or personal hair items. Head lice are more likely to be transmitted at home than in the school setting. 1. INSPECTING A CHILD’S HEAD FOR LICE AND NITS - Inspect all family members’ hair thoroughly, especially in areas close to the scalp at the neckline and behind the ears for lice and nits (head lice eggs). Nits are firmly attached to hair shafts and are usually yellow to white. The adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed and is greyish-white to tan. It may be helpful to use a magnifying glass when inspecting your child’s head. - Correct identification of actual nits (head lice eggs) is critical. Anything that slides along the hair shaft is not a nit. - Crawling lice are difficult to see, but finding nits within a ¼” of the scalp confirms the presence of live lice and the need for treatment. 2. TREATMENT FOR HEAD LICE - Permethrin or pyrethrins is the active ingredient in most over-the-counter products. The active ingredient of choice is permethrin, which is currently in Nix® cream rinse formulation. Follow the label directions carefully, first washing the hair with a non-conditioning shampoo. - Only treat individuals with lice. It is important to apply one treatment per infested person. Do not divide treatments among infested people. Do not treat a second time until at least 7-10 days following the first treatment. Repeat treatments may be dangerous and are unnecessary. - Daily removal of lice and their nits from a child’s hair with a nit or flea comb with long metal teeth is the most effective lice control measure. Complete nit combing of the entire head has to be performed every day (dampen hair for easier combing) until no more lice or nits are found. Any nits that cannot be combed out must be removed either by picking them out with the fingernails or snipping the hair above where the eggs are attached. A useful method for nit combing is to part the hair into small sections. After each section is combed, secure each section to keep track of what has been combed. - If permethrin or pyrethrin products are not effective, consider contacting your health provider about the prescription, Ovide® which research has shown to be very effective. 3. LICE BIOLOGY AND WASHING RECOMMENDATIONS - Lice die quickly (within 2 days) without a human blood meal (off a person) - Nits take 8-10 days to hatch and then about 9 or more days to become adults and lay eggs The following may be done to decrease the chance of re-infestation from lice or nits: - Clothing and bedding may be washed in hot water (130°F) then dried on a hot cycle for at least 20 minutes. - Items that are not washable may be dry cleaned or put in a sealed plastic bag for two weeks to prevent lice hatched from nits from re-infesting - Soak combs, brushes, hair bands, and barrettes in rubbing alcohol or Lysol® for 1 hour, or boil for five minutes. - Carpets and furniture should be vacuumed. Do not use household lice sprays. These measures may decrease re-infestation, but should not be substituted for above treatment. Adapted from “Guidelines for Parents to Control Head Lice”, California Department of Health Service, 2001

(KPIX 5) — A Petaluma man has offered his apologies after he was caught on camera cursing his neighbors in a racist tirade over playing Spanish-language music on the Fourth of July. The video doesn’t show his face at first.READ MORE: French Bulldog Stolen at Gunpoint During Castro Valley Armed Robbery The cellphone camera points downward as an angry white man is heard scolding his Latino neighbors at their front door for playing music in Spanish. Eventually, the camera is raised and the man’s animated face heard yelling that nobody should “disrespect my f***ing country” and “you want to do that on the Fourth of July … throw it in my face?” Ivette Celedon of Petaluma told KPIX 5 she shot the cellphone video Wednesday after her backyard neighbor showed up complaining about the music her family was playing as they waited for the city-sponsored fireworks show. “My father-in-law has a speaker out back and it wasn’t that loud, especially not over their loud music that they have a July 4th party every year,” Celedon said. “And we have never complained about them.” The video, posted on Facebook, has been viewed nearly 300,000 times as of Thursday afternoon.

Just wait, m**** f****.” In a phone interview on July 5th, Lappin told KPIX 5 he is sorry. “I made a huge mistake,” Lappin said. “I had been drinking too much and a little thing set me off and it really bugged me.” Lappin said he has been watching out his window for the work truck of the homeowner to arrive so that he could walk over and apologize to the family in person. “Sometimes I wish they would assimilate more. I hear them playing [Spanish language] music in the backyard all the time and it doesn’t bother me. Because of the day and what July 4th means to me, I felt disrespected,” Lappin said. “I’m a very patriotic man,” said Lappin. “Unfortunately that [action] wasn’t representative of a patriot. Just after a long day [the music] hit me the wrong way.” When Lappin was informed that the family has been in America for multiple generations with family members who served in the military, Lappin declared they should be able to play the music of their choice. “Those are things I didn’t know about them and those are things that make what I did very bad,” he said. “[Playing the music of their choice] is the freedom they are afforded by the people who serve this country.”MORE NEWS: Local Thrash-Metal Heroes Death Angel Headline Great American “I made a terrible mistake,” he repeated.

2021 Year End Reflection and Insights for 2022 As the winter season ramps up, and the sales season ramps down (temporarily for the holiday period), I thought it would be a great time to take a pause and reflect on the crazy highs and lows of the real estate market over the past year. If you’re tuned into the news, you will know that the real estate market has been anything but ordinary over the past year and a half. Amidst the depths of the pandemic lockdowns, demand for real estate boomed with inventory falling to historical lows. Courtesy of offices shifting to a work at home model, people began considering upgrades to their homes, families relocated to be closer to extended families, and more. For that simple reason, the spring market took off earlier than expected and the momentum has barely stopped – even as we approach the end of the year. This year alone, I’ve seen many records broken in my personal experience as a real estate agent: - 10-20 offers on a listing became the new normal - Witnessing a record-breaking 40 offers on a listing - Two contracts escalating from 1.25 million to 2.0 million within a span of a few weeks - And many more Near the end of the summer, as fall approached, more listings flooded the market and the market seemed to experience a slight softening. While we have not exactly exited a sellers’ market just yet, the pressure for buyers is not nearly as crazy as when the year began. Just to give an example, I recently was part of a bidding war with 11 offers in September. In contrast, I participated in bidding wars with more than 20 to 25 offers in early 2021. The silver lining here? Buyers now have a much better chance to compete for listings without going all-in as they would have had earlier this year. Now, as we enter the winter season, agents are preparing for more. Historically, it has been common for the market to slow down significantly in the winter season, only gearing up after the end of January – particularly in the urban core. However, as 2021 has proven, it has not been a normal year. Almost every day now I have been out and about with buyers looking for a purchase and have been busy getting multiple listings ready for the market. In my opinion, it doesn’t seem like the market is letting up any time just yet – maybe only for a short break around the Christmas holiday but not for much longer. 2022 Insights One of the most common questions I’ve been getting these days is “Is the market going to burst soon?” My thoughts? With buyers that are much stronger from a credit standpoint and larger amounts of disposable income to spend, and stringent bank loan processes in place, I don’t necessarily think so. While I cannot pretend to know the future, especially in an unpredictable market like the housing market, my predictions are that while the market may be slightly less competitive (like what we experienced in the fall this year), it will still be pretty much a strong seller’s market. If you’re looking to buy or sell in the coming year, or have any questions about the current state of the market, feel free to reach out!

warehouse management system (WMS) A warehouse management system (WMS) consists of software and processes that allow organizations to control and administer warehouse operations from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out. What does a WMS do? Warehouses sit at the center of manufacturing and supply chain operations because they hold all of the material used or produced in those processes, from raw materials to finished goods. The purpose of a WMS is to help ensure that goods and materials move through warehouses in the most efficient and cost-effective way. A WMS handles many functions that enable these movements, including inventory tracking, picking, receiving and putaway. A WMS also provides visibility into an organization's inventory at any time and location, whether in a facility or in transit. Where WMS fits in the supply chain The supply chain can operate only as quickly, accurately and efficiently as warehouse processes permit. A WMS plays a vital role in supply chain management by managing order fulfillment processes, from receiving raw materials to shipping finished goods. For example, if raw materials are not received properly or parts are misplaced in a warehouse, the supply chain may be slowed or disrupted. WMSes are critical in ensuring that these processes work smoothly by tracking inventory and making sure that goods are stored and sorted properly, as well as shipped and tracked accurately. A WMS is often used alongside or integrated with other related systems, including ERP, transportation management systems (TMS) and inventory management systems. Figure 1 shows each system's role in processing orders and the types of data they need to share with each other to ensure that the right product gets to the customer on time. The role of the WMS that is stored in the ERP system and the WMS. For its part, the ERP system handles the accounting and most of the invoicing, order management and inventory management. The TMS is where the shipping process is managed. It is essentially a repository of detailed information about shipping carriers but is also a transactional and communication system for planning, executing and tracking the shipments. Sometimes a TMS will be integrated with the WMS to enable better coordination of the inbound and outbound logistics tasks that occur at the interface of warehouses and freight shippers, such as palletization of goods, labor scheduling, yard management, load building and cross-docking. Usually, orders come in automatically from ERP or order management systems that are integrated with the TMS. The ERP system also outputs the order information the TMS needs to prepare and execute shipments. Besides basics like customer name and address, data from the ERP system also includes detailed information on items to help update customers about the status of their orders. Types of warehouse management systems Warehouse management software comes in a variety of types and implementation methods, and the type typically depends on the size and nature of the organization. They can be standalone systems or modules in a larger ERP system or supply chain execution suite. WMS. Features of warehouse management systems Many features are common to WMS software products (see Figure 2). They include and automatic identification and data capture(AIDC) systems, including RFID and other functions of inbound and outbound logistics. - Reporting, which helps managers analyze the performance of warehouse operations and find areas to improve. Cloud-based WMS Warehouse management systems, along with other enterprise systems such as ERP, began as systems that were run on an organization's on-premises servers. This model has been changing, and cloud-based WMSes are more common as organizations realize the benefits of running systems in the cloud. The main characteristic of a cloud-based WMS versus the traditional on-premises system is that the software is hosted and managed by the WMS vendor or a cloud service provider. This takes the burden of installing, managing and upgrading the system off the organization's IT department. Because they are easier to install and less costly to manage, cloud-based WMSes tend to be favored by SMBs. Larger enterprises often deploy on-premises WMS because they need highly customized systems that meet the requirements of their specific industry, and they have the resources to manage the IT requirements. Pros of cloud-based WMS include the following: Faster implementation. Traditional on-premises WMSes can typically take months to implement, whereas cloud-based WMS deployments can be completed in weeks, depending on the complexity. This means that organizations have a faster path to a positive ROI and can take advantage of the cloud WMS capabilities sooner, which is a huge benefit in the fast-paced modern economy. Fewer upgrade hassles. The SaaS deployment model for cloud-based WMS includes regularly scheduled upgrades where all the updates and configurations are handled by the vendor. This means that organizations are always on the latest version of the software and spend minimal time and resources managing each upgrade. Lower costs. Cloud-based WMSes do not require hardware, software installation and IT administrators to manage them. Therefore, they have lower upfront costs and sometimes ongoing costs than on-premises systems. They also do not require customizations or modifications, which can be costly for on-premises systems. Upgrades to on-premises systems can also be expensive, as they can involve reinstalling and reconfiguring the software and, in some cases, upgrading the hardware. Scalability. Cloud-based WMSes can be scaled quickly as organizations grow and supply chains become more complex. They are also more flexible and can be reconfigured as business requirements or market conditions change. Cons of cloud-based WMS include the following: Long-term costs. While cloud-based WMSes often have lower upfront costs than on-premises systems, paying for licenses on a monthly or annual basis may be more expensive in the long run. Organizations may also incur additional costs for implementing new modules or premium support packages. Customization. SaaS WMS software generally can't be customized, making it less suitable for organizations that need to modify the software to meet their specific processes or industry requirements. Updates. Cloud-based WMSes are usually updated on a regular basis for all customers. While this ensures that systems are always up to date, it may require that customers change processes regularly to keep up with the new software, and users may need retraining each time the software is updated if the changes are significant. All of the major WMS vendors (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP) offer a variety of deployment options, including cloud-based systems. WMS vendors that are primarily cloud-based or cloud only include Fishbowl, HighJump and SnapFulfil. Warehouse management system benefits Although a WMS is complex and expensive to implement and run, organizations gain numerous. WMS and IoT Connected devices and sensors in products and materials help organizations to ensure they can produce and ship the right quantity of goods at the right price to the right place at the right time. All of these capabilities have been made cheaper and more widespread by the internet of things (IoT). Such IoT data can integrate into a WMS to help manage routing of the products from the pickup point to the end point. The integration enables organizations to develop pull-based supply chains, rather than push-based ones. Pull-based supply chains are driven by customer demand, which allows the organization more flexibility and responsiveness, while push-based supply chains are driven by long-term projections of customer demand. Top WMS vendors A number of large enterprise software vendors sell WMS software as standalone products or as modules in comprehensive ERP suites. These include: - IBM - Microsoft - Oracle - SAP There are a variety of other prominent WMS software vendors, many who focus on specific industries or company sizes, such as SMBs. These include: - Aptean - ASCTrac - Basware - Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software) - Click Reply - Epicor - Fishbowl - HighJump (acquired by Körber in 2017) - Infor - Manhattan Associates - Rootstock Software (which acquired Kenandy in January 2018) - Sage - SnapFulfil - Softeon - Tecsys

There are some things to consider as you lie down. The shape and sinkage to be appropriate, for correct spine alignment. Also, you need a mattress to properly support your entire body, as you lay down to sleep. It’s imperative to have an ideal alignment from top to bottom when you are sleeping. This is necessary to make sure you get a rest that is healthy and also to make sure you’re alleviating your back and neck pain. While supporting your body, a good mattress needs to offer relief from stress. The areas of stress in your body are exactly what are responsible for your shivering in the evening. Mattresses made of memory foam have earned their place in the spotlight, by not just being comfortable, but also for their ability to be supportive. Should You Choose Stiff or Soft? This is on the same lines as when we speak of the comfort of a mattress and its support. Similar to a mattress, it shouldn’t be too rigid, it must never be too soft. The mattress should not be more neutral than is, so that both your spine and your body are in the neutral position.Too too rigidity in mattresses can trigger pressure points, leading to pinched nervesand to the blood stopping flowing.

/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/61187475/HairCollective.0.0.14272309 Aubrie Pick The first thing you'll notice when you walk into Hair Collective is the amazing blue wood floor. Second, you'll notice the handsome couple who created this gorgeous space, George Falcon and James Mackey. They wanted to bring together the best, most experienced San Francisco hair experts in one place—so far only a handful (including themselves, and one apprentice) have passed muster. The result is a stunning but calm open space where client after client walks away excited to enter the world with their perfect new hair—after a glass or two of champagne, bien sur. We paid Mackey and Falcon a visit to find out all about their hair philosophy, how they met, and their plans for the future, which include seasonal hairstyle collections and a private line of cosmetics in spring 2014 called Beauty Collective. Keep an eye on this elite team to continue curating collections of greatness. How did you guys first meet? "I (James) had just moved to San Francisco from New York, and the salon where I choose to work is where George was doing his magic. When I met him I thought he was the sexiest man I had ever seen and he truely took my breath away, and still does. We became fast friends and started spending a lot of time together. It was always comfortable and easy as if we had been friends for 10 years and the attraction was definitely undeniable. We started dating and moved in together 8 months later and we have some very exciting plans on our horizon." How did you decide to open a salon together? "We both love hair and fashion and it is part of who we are, and have made it our lives. We also come from similar backgrounds in hair—Vidal Sassoon and Toni&Guy—the biggest and most progressive forces of hair in the world. With both of us being in the same business, and as a couple with each having 20+ years experience we decided we needed to bring a collaboration of our vision to an environment that would feed our creative energy and to create a space where our clients would want to not only get their hair done in but would want to stay after and hang out with a cup of coffee or some bubbly and a magazine, and they do." What's your philosophy behind the new salon? "The philosophy behind the salon is bringing a collective of expert and professional hair stylists together in an open space with creative freedom to make hair happen in San Francisco. All of our stylists are experts at their craft and the most sought after stylists in San Francisco. When you come to Hair Collective anyone will give you an amazing haircut or color guaranteed because we only hire expert stylists with our level of expertise." We love the blue floor! What inspired you to use that color? "When the two of us designed the space it happened pretty organically as we both have similar esthetics. We wanted it to be a space that we wanted to be in every day since basically we live here. When we chose the oversized salvaged boat wood mirrors and the giant crystal chandelier encompassed within a rusted orb along with the concrete walls, and knowing that we wanted wood floors, the juxtaposition needed to complete the elements in a fantastical way. But an average wood stained floor was not going to do it for this space. When considering the options almost simultaneously we looked at each other and said blue floors. From that moment on nothing else would do. It wasn't easy finding someone to do this as no one had ever done a colored wood floor. We finally found a professional to do it, even though he had never done it before, and we could not be happier. It is the talking point of the space whenever someone see it for the first time. Were so glad that we went with our guts and just went for it." Do you guys each have specialties or favorite things you like to do when it comes to cutting or coloring hair? "George's girls are the "it girls" with the newest handbag and shoes and have typically long beautiful hair that moves effortlessly, the hair you see on commercials that you think doesn't exist, well it does and it is his trademark. His talents in cutting everything hair is world class and he is the best in San Francisco. George is also a Keratin smoothing specialist and has been doing them since its inception. George has an extensive background in editorial work and styling sets for photo shoots. James's girl wants a precision haircut that falls perfectly into place that moves with ease. His creative haircuts with unusual shapes that throw the eye off with sharp lines that make people take notice. James is a color expert and more specifically a blonde specialist and has been using Goldwell color, the highest rated color in the world, his entire career. James is also a make-up artist who specializes in brides, socialites for events as well as make-up for the everyday woman. He loves naturally beautiful make-up, bringing out the true beauty from within of each woman. He also does incredible classic and modern up styles that aren't stuffy or overdone." Can you tell us about the special skills your other stylists might have? "Amee Wong, before joining Hair Collective was a Vidal Sassoon stylist and instructor for 9 years, and did her creative training in London with Sassoon. Her haircutting skills are beyond! She recently won an online photo contest with Hairbrained as the editors' choice. Anastasia Panagiotidis has more than 20 years of experience. She came from New York as a successful stylist there for 16 years. Her range in cutting is from short to long and can take you to the edge if that is what you are looking for. Her highlights are stunning and colors beautiful. She styles for photo shoots and travels with a list of celebrity clientele. Breana O'Connor, our very talented apprentice from Los Angeles is on her way to becoming a force in the industry. She has a passion for hair and make-up and hopes one day to work on movie sets creating hair and make-up for stars. Breana is available on training days for half price, under the supervision of our expert stylists." · Could There Every Be Too Many Drybars?

? A lovely place. It is – a great place to visit. Gosh, such beauty. I would love to take a trip down under one day. I’d have to visit the Opera House first, I think, just to make sure I didn’t miss that. The opera house is so distinctive. It’s a real icon. Markets I’m market crazy I haven’t managed to get to the Paddington one yet, but the small one at the Rocks is interesting. Definitely the zoo. But I’ll probably hit the markets every day I’m there. :) The zoo is beautiful, and there are lots of Australian natives there, of course. Would the citizens of Manly object to me standing in town, pointing at the men and saying “Those are Manly men!” I wonder… ;) Happy TT! You would be best to hit Bondi to check out the lifesavers. Talking bronzed bodies… I’d head right for that beach! It was a gorgeous beach. Sydney has loads of great beaches. Take your pick! That beach reminds me of Hampton Beach in NH! Thanks for playing :-) Sounds good :) Wait. A bridge CLIMB? They actually let you do that? Yes, they do, but it’s highly regulated. You have to strip off and put on a special suit. Also, you’re not allowed to take anything up with you – hanky, camera etc. they take photos for you. You can climb up one of the end bits for free – lots of steps. The bridge climb is quite expensive. They sound fun! We’d love to vacation there! *hugs* Paige My TT is at Maybe one day, Paige. goodness, that’s a year’s worth! There’s definitely lots to do! Oooh. Your pictures are super. I want to visit and do everything on your list. I hope you get down this way, Mia. A week isn’t enough, that’s for sure. How awesome! I would definitely do that tower eye! Then do some shopping. :-) You can see the tower from all over the city. It’s very distinctive. Beautiful pictures. I think I would probably visit the Harbor bridge first…love that picture. It’s pretty awesome going out on a ferry and sitting outside to watch all the harbor area, the bridge and opera house. It’s a very picturesque city. I would love to visit Sydney, though I think I’d have to pass on the Tower Eye or climbing the bridge. There are lots of great walks that I didn’t. Mention in my list. You’d probably enjoy that more. I would love to visit Australia and New Zealand! Maybe someday. :) Sydney is definitely, definitely on my wish list. Can’t wait to armchair-travel along with you, though. My husband and I have always wanted to go to Australia. It looks like such a beautiful place. Thanks for the pictures and info, Shelley! :)

You have no items in your shopping cart. Varsity Star has been building a following with his left of centre electronic sound over the last few years. Now the Brooklyn based jazz musician has a mini album coming and we caught up with him to discuss music, hardware and more. Varsity Star, welcome to Music Is 4 Lovers magazine, tell us a bit about your younger years and your relationship with music? Hey – thanks for having me. I grew up playing a lot of music since my dad and brother both play also. As kids we would kind of swap around instruments a lot, but eventually I settled on bass, and once I was tall enough, I moved over to upright and got pretty serious about playing jazz, which I was doing full-on through college. I think the other big music thing for me growing up though was the fact that I tended to go to schools that were kind of a long drive from my house (40-45 minutes or so), so I was clocking in a lot of hours of listening every day. Jazz was big in my household but also the usual indie stuff from the mid 2000’s was big for me too, and still is. I can’t really remember a time where I didn’t see myself as a musician, or at least a music kid, but I’ve definitely changed paths within that a decent amount by this point. How have you managed to keep positive and, lets face it, sane over the lockdowns? I’ve been really lucky in a lot of ways – I have an apartment that’s big enough for me and my girlfriend and also has a somewhat separate room for my studio. We were both pretty careful with the restrictions, and I eventually got pretty used to things. The beginning in New York really was crazy – it felt apocalyptic. But I just kept working on tracks. It was a really productive year for me actually – ‘That’s Something’ and the new record, ‘More Than Anything’ are both pandemic-era projects. I think also since I knew I could play live, I really pivoted further into making tracks that were really detail-oriented. I was kind of disappointed not to be able to tour ‘Things Look Better From Far Away’ but you kind of have to take these things as a chance to change up your strat if you can. I see you have a third release coming out on Small Pond Records titled ‘Mixtape’, how does this single differ from the previous two? This one is the oldest track on the release I think. Definitely the track with the most kind of 90’s UK stuff in it, especially the really big reverb synth thing on the right channel. I think the first single, ‘Summer’, is probably the dirtiest track on the album and ‘Pipes’ is probably one of the cleanest, and ‘Mixtape’ is kind of drawing off both those kinds of sounds; I managed to get away with a really lofi guitar sound on it but also some really precise synth drums.Visually, ‘Summer’ was a very curated, precise thing that Manav C137 put together. He did a really amazing job with it, and we went down so many rabbitholes getting every little animation right. The video for ‘Mixtape’ is a realtime rendered thing I made using some generative elements, and I’m hoping to use as a visual system for live shows in the future. It really closely maps to the track, but it’s all one take with no editing, so kind of a totally different approach. Musically, where or how do you get your inspiration? When I was younger it came a lot from just copying other people’s stuff I liked. These days I think I still do hear things other people do and get excited to check out the idea in Ableton, but I think things come more from what’s in my head these days. A lot of my tracks start as piano demos, and I figure out how I want to put them together as a track after that. I don’t use sequencers and I’m not that interested in making algorithmic/generative music. But in general, if I have a good piano idea and a good beat – I’m excited. That’s enough to go on for a while really. After doing remixes this past year for people I’m getting more into doing collaborations also – in certain ways it making the music making so much easier because when you get stuck you can just hand it off to someone else, but it’s also hard for me to work with other people without taking over. What’s your favourite piece of hardware in your studio currently, and what have you always desired to add to your collection? I’ve actually had a really stable set of gear for the last couple of years, and I don’t have any super fancy synths. Probably my most sought-after one is my MC-202, and it is a great, really musical synth. I have a couple poly synths but I actually probably get the most use out of my Korg Minilogue. I think it’s just really easy to work with and get a sound from, and it has just enough features. I have some other synths that have loads more features to work with but really, 80% of it is just useless to me. If I had unlimited cash, I would probably go for a Jupiter 8. I’ve only really heard them on YouTube but they sound ridiculous and also look sick (the button colors are awesome). Those synth demos are so funny because people just play dumb Van Halen songs on them but you can still tell that in the right hands you could get some really awesome stuff going with them. What is your all time favourite event you’ve played at? It’s funny – I haven’t played a ton of shows with this music but I’ve really played at a lot of weird nights. Honestly, none of them were weird in a very good way, like one time I played at a warehouse party with no heat on probably one of the coldest nights of the year. That was kind of bad but also I remember the DJs who came on after me faded out my track in the middle – pretty brutal for me at the time. I also played at some gig on a crazy hot summer day in this DIY venue with no A/C, and my computer just literally shut off completely. But as far as the best, I actually opened for this indie band (the genre-matchup made no sense) at this small venue in Brooklyn kind of soon after I finished my first record. It was my first time doing an actual full length set in a room full of people, and actually getting a response, and it kind of just blew my mind. I had just been working on these tracks in my bedroom and to see it all come together and actually get a feeling going in people was so surreal. What do you do to relax and where is your ideal holiday? I do a lot of eating and drinking, and that’s kind of the answer to both these questions. It’s tough for me to get excited about a place where the food isn’t good. I think for me at this point the best kind of place to go is somewhere with great food that’s as different from my current culture as possible. I went to Japan a few years back and that really checked both boxes – I would love to go back again but there are probably so many other cool places I should check out before I start repeating places. What can we expect from you in the next year? I probably shouldn’t say this but – I don’t really know! After the record release there will be some remixes coming out for it, and some other people will be putting out remixes I’ve done as well. After the record, I’m working on some collaborations with people, although for the collab EP I’m working on with one guy, the label told me not to talk about it yet so, I guess I’ll just generate some mystery here. I would love to play some live shows but we’re in such Covid limbo now that that also seems up in the air. I’m a big rule-follower so I don’t want to play a show that could end up being dangerous. If it does come together it will be a good chance to finally do live visuals also – it’ll be a lot of work and we’ll need to find venues with good projectors but I think it would be awesome to bring this stuff to a bigger stage than Instagram. Definitely there will be more music from me coming out though, one way or the other.

When you are just getting started on the keto diet, cutting out bread and bread products like wraps can seem difficult. But it doesn’t need to be. This keto wrap recipe makes 6 wraps, which are less than 1 gram of net carbs per wrap. They are also far more economical than buying commerically made wraps and with only 5 ingredients they are not at all complicated. Soft and pliable, these keto wraps are made from high fiber flaxseed meal. I used these wraps when making keto steak fajitas and they were a hit with the whole family, even my carb loving son, who confessed they were “way better” than he thought they’d be. These keto friendly wraps are nothing more than flaxseed meal, coconut flour and xanthan gum with a pinch of salt. Using boiling water and a little butter or ghee, the wraps form a dough which is easily rolled out. Tip: As you can see from the image above I used brown flaxseed meal. I’m a huge advocate for using what you have, and not buying special ingredients. If you have golden flaxseed meal use that instead. The wraps will be more golden in color than my dark brown wraps ended up being. Nutritionally, there’s little difference between brown or golden flaxseed. After mixing the dry ingredients together, I added the cup of boiling water to a bowl with the butter. I used unsalted butter, as I had added salt to the dry ingredients. Once the butter had melted, I poured the mixture on top of the flaxseed mix and stirred with a spoon. Vegans, naturally, switch the butter out for vegan butter. The flaxseed will absorb the water and form a dough. Once the mixture has cooled enough to touch with your hands, form into a ball. You can roll this ball into a sausage like shape and cut off 8 even pieces, or break off the dough for each wrap directly from the ball. I wanted to do as little rolling as possible, so I broke off pieces from the ball. Placing the dough between two sheets of parchment paper (makes for easier rolling), roll out into thin layer. You can cut by hand, or use a saucepan lid to measure out a circle for a round shape. I highly recommend using a lid or something round to cut the shape of your wraps – I decided to cut mine by hand, and it wasn’t the perfect circle we’re used to seeing. It seems my ability to cut an even circle by hand isn’t as good as I thought! Given I’ve used brown flaxseed meal, the wraps have ended up darker than usual. The taste was lovely however, and both of my teenage children had no complaints! Skipping back to the wraps, you’ll want to roll them out as thinly as possible, but thick enough that they won’t break apart. Some of the thicker sections of my wraps cracked as they weren’t as pliable as the thinner sections. You can see that in the image above. I almost didn’t put these up online! I’m a much better cook and writer than I am food photographer, so you’ll have to trust me when I tell you they tasted much better than they looked! Here’s how they turned out: Thank you to my lovely wife for holding the wraps whilst I happy snapped! As I mentioned above I almost didn’t post this recipe, not because it wasn’t delicious but moreso because they don’t look so “perfect”! But, I decided against holding these back – at least you guys know they’re real! I did remake the recipe using golden flaxseed flour however, which you can find here. So, are you ready for this easy keto wrap recipe? Let’s get started! Keto/Low Carb Tortilla Style Wraps Ingredients - 1 cup flaxseed meal - 2 tablespoons coconut flour - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum - 1 tablespoon salted butter - 1 cup boiling water Instructions - Place all dry ingredients (flaxseed meal, xanthan gum, coconut flour and salt) into a heatproof bowl. - Pour one cup of boiling water into a separate small bowl. Add in the tablespoon of salted butter and mix until melted. - Mix the water in with the dry ingredients. Mix together with a spoon. - When the mixture cools enough to handle, use your hands to mix the dough into a ball. - Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C). Break the dough into 6 pieces. - Roll out each piece of the dough in between parchment paper. The wraps should end up around ⅛ inch thick and about 8 inches in diameter. - Pan fry the wraps over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Enjoy!

- Council - News and Updates - News - News 2021 - Upper Hunter communities encouraged to tune in to mental health this October Upper Hunter communities encouraged to tune in to mental health this October 5/10/2021 With Mental Health Month 2021 officially underway, Mayor of Singleton Cr Sue Moore is encouraging everyone to “tune in” to the new MindLink Upper Hunter Facebook page for a daily dose of inspiration, exercise and general wellness during October. The page has been created by the Upper Hunter Mental Health Interagency (UHMHI) and Singleton Council as a space to promote and inform the Upper Hunter communities about mental health events, training and services. Cr Moore said while Mental Health Month would usually be marked by bringing people together with a morning tea or social event, COVID restrictions generated the need for some creativity to reach as many people as possible. It’s appropriate the theme for this year’s Mental Health Month is Tune In – to be present, aware of what’s happening within you, and in the world around you. You can follow the MindLink Facebook page at “In NSW, Mental Health Month is coordinated by WayAhead – Mental Health Association NSW and gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing, which is important at any time but particularly during the pandemic and the ever-changing restrictions that has transformed everything we thought of as normal,” Cr Moore said. “Given the difficulties with bringing people together in person, Facebook is a channel that a lot of people have access to and the MindLink page has recently been created to be a centre for mental health information and support for people in the Upper Hunter. “A light, bright and colourful program of daily posts has been planned for MindLink in October, including especially-created content by our own local people covering a range of topics from gardening, the benefits of walking (and exploring the Singleton Heritage Walk), and there’ll also be a very special presentation about being a carer during Carers Week 10-16 October. “I encourage everyone to follow the MindLink page and tune in to those daily posts, but most importantly, check in with your own mental health and the people around you, and remember, there is assistance available for whatever you might need.” The MindLink Mental Health Month Facebook program: Week 1 (4-10 October) – Tune in to yourself. Posts will include gardening, Heritage walk, exercise at home, importance of music and cooking. Week 2 (11-17 October) - Tune in to others. Posts will include contributions from Singleton Neighbourhood Centre, Yoga at home, Carers Week and hearing from a mental health carer who will share her caring story. Week 3 (18-24 October) – Tune in to Communities. Posts will include Art - how to draw mandalas, how to connect with groups in the local community and hearing from local health staff. Week 4 (25-31 October) – Tune in to Stigma. Posts will include a presentation from the HNE Primary Health Network and engaging people with lived experience of mental illness. ENDS

More Info Dutch Techno master Orlando Voorn has opened up his archive for the first of what will be an ongoing artist focused series brought to you by new imprint Above Board Projects. The compilation will be spread across 2 double 12" volumes and will feature tracks from many of Voorn's pseudonyms including; Fix, Baruka, The Ghetto Brothers, Mute & many more. We are proud to introduce the first of a 2-part archival collection entitled 'Diligence'. Each track featured on the compilation has been carefully selected and programmed in conjunction with Orlando Voorn and the Above Board Projects team. Voorn has an extremely long and storied career in making music and is severely underrated as a producer in our humble opinion. His DJ skills are, of course, legendary, with him winning the prestigious DMC mixing championships in 1986 in his native Holland and making a career as one of the country's leading Hip-Hop DJ's. As a producer he has long been linked to numerous legendary producers and releases, counting labels such as Fragile, Metroplex and more as homes for his output. His association and collaborations with Detroit have been the stuff of legend since day one and some of the music contained within these compilations celebrate that while showcasing some of the more overlooked tracks from the man's more than extensive catalogue. Part 1 includes some serious rarities and some straight up, futurist Techno heat, take the majestic technoid melodies of comp opener 'Diligent' from one of Voorn's most well loved alias' FIX for example, completely worlds apart from the jacking and sparse Funk of Baruka's killer 'Technision'. Flawless selections from the early 90's sitting alongside later productions only go to show how diverse and talented an artist Voorn is and how fresh and vital his music still is today. An essential collection for any serious techno lover. Tracklist LP Pt 1: A1. Fix - Diligent A2. Format - Burning Passion B1. MUTE - Alastair's Theme B2. Complex - Edge Of Self-Control C1.

29 Dec Chart: The urban centers of Eastern Europe are enduring a horrific guy drought In popular tradition, references to “man droughts” are mostly very likely to originate from Carrie Bradshaw-types, whining concerning the not enough qualified billionaires to date. In Eastern Europe, however, the issue is a lot more literal. This graph implies that males make-up hardly 45 % regarding the populace of a few capitals that are european. The capital of Lithuania, had roughly 123 women for every 100 men; in Riga, over the border in Latvia, the figure was 127 in 2012, Vilnius. The european capital with the most equal gender balance, there were just 101 women for every 100 men by contrast, in Oslo. (Sorry, men.) This will be partly right down to variations in migration prices – but a depressingly big amount for the description is based on life span. In western nations, it really is normal for here to be really somewhat more ladies than guys: delivery prices are roughly 50:50, but males have a tendency to perish more youthful and, when you look at the average EU state, male life span is around 93 % compared to feminine life span. When you look at the east, though, that quantity is far, less. Last year, life span at delivery for Latvian females ended up being 78.8. For Latvian men, it absolutely was 68.6, simply 87 percent for as long. In Lithuania, where males reside to 68.1 and ladies to 79.3, that ratio is 86per cent. It is very easy to assume that numbers like just imply that you can find fewer men that are elderly. They don’t. The sex disparity actually becomes noticeable across the chronilogical age of 30, since, within the terms of Latvian sociologist Baiba Bela, “car driving, alcoholism and accidents on the job” take their cost in the population that is male. Therefore, upsettingly, do high committing committing committing suicide prices. All this work implies that, when you look at the capitals of Eastern Europe, here truly is really a shortage of qualified bachelors that are young. Carrie should look somewhere else.

Rooftops covered with lawn, veggie gardens and lush foliage are now a standard sight in several towns and cities throughout the world. Increasingly more personal businesses and town authorities are purchasing green roofs, interested in their wide-ranging advantages including cost savings on power expenses, mitigating the danger from floods, producing habitats for metropolitan wildlife, tackling air pollution and metropolitan temperature and food that is even producing latin mail order bride. A report that is recent the united kingdom recommended that the green roof market there was expanding at a consistent level of 17 % every year. The world’s rooftop farm that is largest will open in Paris in 2020, superseding comparable schemes in nyc and Chicago. Stuttgart, in Germany, is thought of as “the green roof capital of Europe”, while Singapore is also setting up green roofs on buses. These increasingly radical designs that are urban help towns conform to the monumental challenges they face, such as for instance usage of resources and deficiencies in green room because of development. But buy-in from town authorities, businesses as well as other organizations is vital to ensuring their success – as is research investigating options that are different match the range of rooftop areas present in metropolitan areas. A trend that is growing The united kingdom is relatively not used to developing green roofs, and governments and organizations are playing a role that is major distributing the training. London hosts a lot of the UK’s green roof market, due primarily to forward-thinking policies including the 2008 London Arrange, which paved how you can significantly more than double the location of green roofs when you look at the money. Although London has led just how, these day there are labs that are“living at the Universities of Sheffield and Salford that are assisting to establish the precedent somewhere else. The IGNITION project – led because of the better Manchester Combined Authority – involves the introduction of a full time income lab during the University of Salford, utilizing the purpose of uncovering methods to persuade designers and investors to consider green roofs. Ongoing scientific studies are showcasing how green roofs can incorporate with living walls and sustainable drainage systems on the floor, such as for example road trees, to better handle water and also make the built environment more sustainable. Scientific studies are additionally showing the social worth of green roofs. Health practitioners are increasingly prescribing time spent gardening outdoors for clients dealiong with anxiety and despair. And research has unearthed that usage of perhaps the most rudimentary green areas can prov > An edible roof at Fenway Park, arena associated with Boston Red Sox. Image: Michael Hardman/author supplied. In the united states, green roofs are becoming conventional, by having an array that is wide of, accessible and food-producing roofs installed in buildings. Once again, town leaders and authorities have actually helped push the movement forward – just recently, bay area created an insurance plan needing brand brand new structures to own roofs that are green. Toronto has policies dating through the 1990s, motivating the introduction of metropolitan farms on rooftops. These nations additionally take advantage of having more recent structures, which make it better to install green roofs. Having the ability to keep and circulate water right throughout the rooftop is essential to keeping the flowers on any roof that is green especially on “edible roofs” which farm vegetables and fruits. Plus it’s much easier to generate this ability in more recent structures, which could typically hold greater fat, than retro-fit old people. Having a more powerful roof additionally makes it much simpler to cultivate a higher number of flowers, because the soil may be much much deeper. This new normal? For green roofs to be the norm for brand new developments, there must be buy-in from general public authorities and actors that are private. Those accountable for keeping buildings might have to obtain additional skills, such as for instance gardening, and perhaps volunteers may be required to aid away. Other factors consist of setting up drainage paths, conference safety and health demands and access that is perhaps allowing the general public, in addition to preparing limitations and interruption from regular ativities close to the buildings during installation. To persuade investors and developers that setting up green roofs is worthwhile, financial arguments are nevertheless the most crucial. The definition of “natural capital” happens to be developed to describe the financial value of nature; for instance, calculating the amount of money conserved by setting up normal answers to drive back flood damage, adjust to climate change or assistance people lead healthier and happier life. While the expertise about green roofs grows, formal requirements have already been developed to make sure that these are generally created, built and maintained correctly, and function well. Improvements into the technology and technology underpinning green roof development also have resulted in new variants in the concept. The capacity of buildings to hold water over longer periods of time, rather than drain away quickly – crucial in times of heavier rainfall for example, “blue roofs” increase. There are combinations of green roofs with solar energy panels, and roofs that are“brown which are wilder in nature and maximise biodiversity. In the event that trend continues, it may produce brand new jobs and an even more vibrant and sustainable regional food economy – alongside a number of other advantages. There are obstacles to conquer, however the evidence thus far suggests that green roofs have the possibility to change metropolitan areas and assist them to function sustainably very long to the future. The success tales must be replicated and studied somewhere else, to create green, blue, brown and food-producing roofs the norm in metropolitan areas all over the world.

I wanted to share my thoughts after reading Bodily Inscriptions, Performative Subversions and Truth and Power. Posts like this one are basically summaries, however, I hope my thoughts makes sense to anyone struggling to read both works. I will post more like this later. Philosopher Judith Butler’s Bodily Inscriptions, Performative Subversions explores the idea of creating labels on bodies as sex by the effects of the politics, from compulsory heterosexuality and Phallocentrism, or if noticing the differences of bodies themselves influence people to create labels for them, resulting in compulsory heterosexuality and Phallocentrism. Butler discusses drag performances to explain the complexity of gender itself; drag makes us question what it means for an object, a person, to become a parody versus natural. Gender depends on stylized repetition of acts, gestures, and desires, defined as performativity. The line between authentic and fabricated depends on its risk of deformity, failure to repeat precisely, or even a parody. If a person wears mostly pink, either people interpreted them as feminine or risk interpreted as too feminine. The parody depends on onlookers’ knowledge of history to understand its representation, such as associating pink with femininity and youth. An object like pink is subjective by nature as it is merely a color we use, consciously or unconsciously, to communicate. Dualism between real and parody reflects the history of culture and internal; we internalized ideas generally accepted by the public, such as accepting pink as a symbol for femininity or even childish by distancing oneself from it. Philosopher Julia Kristeva’s Abjection comes into play as it helps explain the aspect of our inner self, as it refers to the rejection of an object from within self by deeming it as other. An example is a person abhorring the queer community as it reminds the person of the loss of distinction between self and other. As the other is deemed deviant in culture, the person disdains to question that they may not be entirely heterosexual nor cisgender. Philosopher Michel Foucault’s notion of sexuality comes into play as he expounds on how the body becomes a canvas of culture and history. Suppose we accepted a notion of gender and sexuality. In that case, it becomes real, such as the power of compulsory heterosexuality in a micro-perspective and macro-perspective, from doubting one’s sexuality and gender identity to people’s lack of acceptance of the one’s coming out as queer. Foucault’s History of Sexuality explains further about his previous works, especially The History of Sexuality, to analyze power’s negative effects, such as its exclusion, rejection, denial, obstruction, occultation. The idea of madness perceives as a rejection of systemic power, as it requires us to question the dualism between deviant or deviant. The body functions as a tool to communicate political beliefs by what we internalize ideology, such as deeming sexuality relating it to morals, whereas other cultures are apathetic to sexuality. Through works of naturalizing ideology as the truth through repeated actions of people, through a culture that normalizes ideology as part of nature, it reinforces people not to question their social reality. Foucault’s Truth and Power expound on the notion of power, as he explains that power is found in language, social customs, and institutions. As power and knowledge co-exist with each other as a discourse, he notes how power is not the only repression. It is also generative; it is historical, on its forces us to internalize ideology given to us by culture. An example is how we follow institutions’ rules. Many people do not question its origin and how we can still give in to institutional power by violating the rules, such as stealing products from stores to rebel corporations without realizing it harms employees instead. Foucault disagrees with the Marxist perspective on ideology, as he interprets that the truth has no dualism nor order in history. The truth focuses on a form of scientistic discourse, relying on constant economic and political incitement, requiring people to share and listen to these discourses as it is produced under the control of those in power, ranging from media to university, and confronts with ideology struggles by political arguments and social hostility. Foucault proclaims that truth requires us to question its existence, as it is part of undoing its power by procedures and its relation to other forms of power.

Solutions Marketing: Revisiting the Debate over the 4 P’s - Most Recent Blogs, Other Solutions Issues - Eloqua, 4P's4. Professor Neil Borden, the Harvard Business School Professor who came up with this nifty framework, and then Phillip Kotler in his seminal marketing textbook, Principles of Marketing in 1967, have influenced millions of successful marketers. Are the 4 P’s still relevant today? Absolutely – but only if you’re marketing one of the 4 P’s – products. For highly complex services and solutions, the 4 P’s aren’t adequate. The Many Voices Around the New 4 P’s If we take a marketer’s safety blanket away, what else should they consider instead? Here are some alternative models we’ve read about: Brian Fetherstonhaugh at Olgilvy & Mather suggests that you use the 4 E’s (4 P's -- O&M): > Product ? Experience > Place ? Everyplace > Price ? Exchange > Promotion ? Evangelism Marco Protano, A Marketing Professor at the Hult International Business School, suggests a new model represented by the acronym SIVA: > Product ? Solution > Place ? Access > Price ? Value > Promotion ? Information & Incentive Josh Sieders, with Compass Creative, stays with the “P” family (4 P's -- Sieders): > Purpose > Passion > Pain > Power Eloqua, one of the gorillas in marketing automation, has suggested that the 4 P’s have morphed into something that reflects their world (4 P's - Eloqua) : > Personality > Publishing > Packaging > Physics The 4 P’s of Marketing are for Solutions Marketers – The Motorola Point of View Recently, Harvard Business Review weighed in on the issue with an article entitled Rethinking the 4 P’s to which Eduardo Conrado, SVP of Marketing and CMO at Motorola Solutions, contributed -. (4P's -- HBR -- SAVE) Conrado believes that for solutions marketers the fundamentals of marketing have shifted to a SAVE model: > Product ? Solution > Place ? Access > Price ? Value > Promotion ? Education The SAVE model makes a lot of sense to me. We’ve been following Motorola’s solutions activities, and it appears that they’ve been able to shift their marketing practices by applying the model. Solutions Insights’ Perspective: The 4 P’s are OVER! We’re clearly on the same bandwagon as everyone else who is clamoring that marketers have to rethink the basic premises of marketing. If your company sells widgets – baseballs, frying pans, bicycle tires, whatever – that are relatively uncomplicated products, then the 4 P’s will still carry the day. If your company is creating and selling either complex services or solutions, then the 4 P’s turn out to be woefully inadequate. Relying on our own acronym, and in order to make our point, we contend that the 4 P’s are now OVER! While our OVER model is in the same family as Conrado’s SAVE model and Protano’s SIVA model, we have some subtle but important differences. Here’s how we suggest you think about re-establishing the 4 pillars of solutions marketing: A solution, from our point of view, is never just a product. It’s a combination of products and services that are integrated through carefully developed processes and methodologies. There are many flavors of solutions, but they are clearly more complex and oriented toward solving customer problems than products. We use the term Offer because some companies define their solutions as highly defined and repeatable, while others see them as very broad and highly customized. In fact, an offer could be a combination of several “solutions”. Marketers need to look beyond a packaged solution and focus on the customer problem – which then defines the customer Offer . Similar to Conrado’s contention, solutions marketing needs to focus more on the value delivered instead of the price. Pricing sometimes does a wonderful job of reflecting value to the customer…and sometimes not. By focusing more on customer value, the solution may be priced at a premium if the customer agrees their TCO is well below the value-based price. Products have traditionally been sold through bricks and mortar establishments – donut shops, men’s clothing stores, toy stores, etc. The concept of Place was first disrupted by internet shopping. Instead of going to the local mall , you can now go to the virtual mall. So, where’s the “place”? Well, you’re in your office at home. This is a far cry from how “place” has been traditionally described by marketers. Now let’s move from products to solutions. Take something like “Virtual Desktop Management”, or “Cloud Computing and Integration”. Where does this take place? How do you “shop” for what you need? Where is it delivered? We believe the important and essential factor is the customer Experience. Marketing should make sure that the end-to-end process of searching, self-educating, selecting, using, and measuring the impact of a solution comprises the total customer experience. It’s not a place, but an ability to learn, access, and apply – in other words, an Experience. Products have typically been “pushed” to prospective customers. Car ads tout low financing and deals that will only last the next few days. Sporting goods stores trumpet their deep discounts and “two for one” offerings. All of this is to pull you to either a physical or virtual store to buy. When used to market a solution, most of these types of campaigns fail because solutions are too complex to understand quickly, and the risk of making the wrong decision is too high. Before you can even consider pushing out your value messages about your solution, there are a number of interim steps you need to take with your prospective customers: When it Comes to Solutions Marketing, Think Differently From push to relationship building activities, price to value, or place to experience, get used to a changed marketing model. Since a high percentage of solutions marketers earned their stripes by marketing products, it’s important to understand that the old traditional product approaches just won’t work. Think different. Think customer-centric. Think deeper relationships. Think solutions. Author: Steve Hurley, Managing Director at Solutions Insights I have to agree, the 4 P's are too old now. As any business theory framework evolves in time due to changes in society, technology, political regulations, environment, processes, etc. While studying my bachelors I started with the 4Ps then 4Cs, 11Ps, 4Es, and so on. In the las class I took in the MBA I was introduced to OVER.Which give a good understanding and application for solutions. I wasn't really convinced of all this theoretical business frameworks that change really fast. From college till now I can almost say that the theory that I learned in the first 2 semesters of college now is completely obsolete. In the past year I have understood the reason behind the frameworks from a question that triggered my rejection: what are they for? Now my understanding is that the 4Ps or OVER is the place where you start creating strategy. How flexible can they be? As flexible as needed. The frameworks can be adapted from company to company and even from product/service/solution within the same company. However, the importance relays in the conceptualization of a common definition. The 4Ps are OVER, and maybe OVER will EVOLVE later. Whatever is the case, a good marketer has to have a theoretical framework to be able to implement a good strategy.

Art Institute of Austin cuts Bastrop campus ribbon The newly constructed building at 921 Main Street in downtown Bastrop not only represents a new hub of talent and creativity for the community, it also symbolizes the fruit of a long-standing collaboration between City Council, the center of economic development and the chamber of commerce. In 2016, Kathryn Nash, chairman of the board of directors of the Bastrop Economic Development Corporation, wandered downtown and stopped at the vacant lot at 921 Main Street, which was shabby and closed. to the public, as city officials feared the building envelope had burned. in this batch 13 years earlier could collapse. But what Nash saw was an opportunity. In 2016, the city council voted to sell the vacant land to the BEDC for $ 4. The city had purchased the vacant land in 2009 in order to expand the parking lot downtown. And although economic companies generally do not construct buildings, BEDC took out the largest loan it has ever requested to construct a building on this land. And with the help of the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce, the company found a tenant – the Art Institute of Austin – to sign a 10-year lease for the building. The institute moved into the two-story building in December 2020 – just after construction was completed – and held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday afternoon. “To have so much potential and joy around creativity and education is just great,” said Harvey Giblin, president of the institute. The Art Institute has a main campus in Houston and two branches in San Antonio and Austin. The Austin branch moved from its Round Rock location in 2019 to Bastrop. Giblin said Bastrop was a great place for students at the institute to “let their creativity run wild”. “Bastrop is a creative community,” he said. “It’s a very close-knit community, it’s a pedestrian community. It’s a great place for our students to come in and meet other artists because they are all over here in Bastrop. The campus currently has around 150 students and 20 instructors, and specializes in visual design, which includes film, photography, graphic design, and web design. She also offers interior design and fashion classes, and hopes to offer cooking classes in the future. The building measures approximately 10,000 square feet and has four classrooms, two computer labs, a drawing room, and a conference room. Student work adorns the walls of the building, including sketches of superheroes, animated pets, and abstract drawings. One of the projects on display at the ceremony was created by Shelby Vaughan, a student at the institute. She transformed a doodle she drew when she was 9 of a horse into an animated graphic of a stallion watching a pink sunset. Giblin said his goals for his students were “to thrive, to create and bring out the best in themselves, because they all come here with passion and dreams, be it filmmaking, animation. audio, fashion, whatever ”. The school operated online from March 2020 to June. About two dozen students have worked on campus since then, and Giblin said he’s excited to get more students to start learning in person. Art, after all, is a very practical field. “Just to get back to earth so to speak, and having that creative juice flowing when we’re all in the same space together is really great,” Giblin said. Kornyan Bailey, the institute’s deputy enrollment officer, is an alumnus of the school. He graduated in 2019 after studying graphic design and web design, and said he was happy that the new campus had taken root in Bastrop. “There is a lot of potential here,” Bailey said. “We are trying to put down roots here for the community and to have more opportunities. ” He said the students plan to work on murals across the city. Pierre Lafaille Jr., former student and dean of admissions at the institute, echoed similar sentiments. “Bastrop loves the creative arts and the human being so much that there was no other palace for AI,” said Lafaille. “We’re really looking to become more of a college-type presence inside a city, rather than being inside a corporate building. “And for the students, I feel that they will feed on this energy that Bastrop naturally gives to the creatives”, he added. Nash, the president of BEDC, praised the institute for inspiring students to tap into their creativity. “What you’re doing is amazing: getting these kids to use their heads and their hands, to be creative, to use digital tools, to manipulate materials,” she said. “What this allows them to create their own agency, to strengthen this concrete confidence. “It’s an interactive process, and that’s what I want to hire. I want to hire people who want to take risks. I want to hire people who can do things, not just know things. “

There’s no blending or subtle shading in this daily makeup tutorial. In a society where pale skin and conformity is idealised, any move away from convention is sure to stand out. And that’s the aim of Japan’s kuro (hada) gyaru, literally black-skin gals, who turn heads in hip neighbourhoods like Shibuya and Harajuku with their darkened skin, enormous hair and over-the-top makeup style. YouTube channel Kawaii Pateen, known for its popular hair, makeup and cosplay tutorials, recently featured a makeup clip by Black Diamond member Ganguro Ayutama. Black Diamond, Japan’s top kuro gyaru unit, has more than a hundred members around the country who regularly meet in various cities to share their culture and promote their unusual style to locals and people from abroad. What makes Ayutama stand out from her kuro gyaru sisters involves more than just her makeup. She’s known for having passed the highest level of the notoriously difficult Kanji Kentei test, Kanken, at the young age of 14, earning her the nickname “Kanken Gyaru”. Fewer than 15 percent of people pass this level, which tests the ability to read and write 6,355 kanji, making this a rare achievement even among native Japanese speakers. ▼ Not sure how she manages to write kanji or, in fact, do anything, with those long, pointy talons. Kanken gal’s makeup style has received a lot of attention from foreigners since her tutorial was posted online. While some applaud her creativity, others take issue with her lack of clean lines during application. One thing everyone can agree on is those nails, with props being given to her for not losing an eye during the whole process. To see what’s involved in the daily makeup routine, take a look at the tutorial below. If you don’t have 10 minutes to watch the clip, some of the highlights include such gems as the fact that she’s wearing six false eyelashes. ▼ Tips on how to make things look “natural” and not “REALLY weird”… ▼ A look at how she creates a lid crease for her eye… ▼ And bright white highlights under her eyes and on the bridge of her nose. ▼ All the while, she holds our attention with the clickety-clack of her nails, which threaten to cause injury at any given moment. Thanks for the tutorial, Kanken gal! Your style might not be for everyone, but it’s bold, unique, and filled with lots of sparkle and anime fun. It’s everything we love about Japan!

: Revenue and Taxes Pillars of Rome rock formations near Rome. (Oregon State Archives Photo) Oregon’s state and local governments receive revenue from numerous sources including federal transfer payments; tuition, hospital and other charges; Lottery revenue; and taxes. Of all these sources, half of total state revenue is from taxation. Personal income tax and corporate excise tax are the most significant components of the state General Fund, and property tax is the most significant local tax in Oregon. These three taxes represent about 80% of all state and local taxes. Oregon does not have a general state sales tax. Beginning in 2020, the new corporate activity tax will provide additional funding for K-12 education. The personal income tax is the largest source of state tax revenue, expected to account for 86% of the state’s General Fund for the 2019–21 biennium. Oregon’s taxable income is closely connected to federal taxable income. The state personal income tax rates range from 4.75% to 9.9% of taxable income. For tax year 2018, Oregon residents filed about 1.92 million Oregon personal income tax returns, representing about 2.6 million taxpayers, which includes spouses. Those taxpayers paid a final tax after adjustments, deductions and credits on average equal to about 6% of their total income. The top ten percent of taxpayers in income paid roughly half of Oregon’s personal income tax, while the bottom half of taxpayers in income paid 9% of the total income tax. The corporate excise and income tax is the second largest source of state tax revenue. The corporate tax rates are 6.6% and 7.6% of taxable business income. For tax year 2017, about 1% of corporate taxpayers accounted for almost 65% of income and excise tax revenue from C corporations (standard corporations). The minimum corporate excise tax ranges from $150 to $100,000, depending on the corporation’s Oregon sales. More than 69% of all C corporations paid the minimum tax for tax year 2017, but minimum taxpayers accounted for less than 10% of the total tax paid by C corporations in 2017. Local governments in Oregon began taxing property before statehood, but the current system is mainly the product of two statewide ballot measures passed in the 1990s, Measures 5 and 50. In Oregon’s property tax system, each taxing district is limited to a fixed permanent tax rate, but voters can temporarily increase rates through local options levies or to repay bonds used to fund capital projects. Individual properties have a taxable assessed value equal to, or less than, the real market value. The taxable assessed value generally cannot increase by more than 3% per year, and it cannot exceed the real market value. Taxes for an individual property are calculated by applying the tax rates of the local districts to the taxable assessed value of each property and are generally limited to no more than $5 per $1,000 of real market value for education districts and $10 per $1,000 of real market value for all other taxing districts. Levies to repay bonds are outside of this limit. Sources and More Information > × Notice Continue

In this short tutorial you will learn how easy is it to create a simple dApp on NEAR blockchain with a help of Nuxt framework and near-api-js library. So called Web3 is expanding day after day and you don’t need to learn how different blockchains work to start creating a decentralized applications by using familiar tools and frameworks. Please, note that you need some prerequisites before starting with this tutorial. Let’s assume that you have Node.js and some package manager (such as npm or Yarn) installed on your system. If you don’t have them, feel free to download Node.js here (I would recommend you to use LTS version to avoid some possible compatibility issues). With this installation package you will also get npm package manager on your system (it is included, so you don’t need to install it separately). Also I assume that you have some knowledge in core technologies of web development, such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript and somehow familiar with Nuxt or Vue.js frameworks. And now you are ready to start with creating a skeleton of our future dApp by using Nuxt’s official create-nuxt-app package. To do that one can simply call the following command in the terminal application (it can be Terminal.app, Hyper, iTerm or something else): npx create-nuxt-app nuxt-near-dapp where: npxis a name for an npm package runner nuxt-near-dappjust a directory name for your future project, you can call it whatever you like After that you should answer a few questions about your future project, some additional tools and libraries you may use, etc., so create-nuxt-app will be able to scaffold an ideal starter for your project. Npm will install all required packages and tools inside node_modules directory of your project. Feel free to open your project directory in your favourite text editor or IDE and navigate into your project directory via your terminal cd nuxt-near-dapp. Please note that we need to install one more library in order to connect to a NEAR blockchain and it’s native Wallet. It is called near-api-js and this is an official JavaScript/TypeScript library for development of dApps on the NEAR platform that was developed by NEAR devteam. To install it via npm just execute the next command in your terminal: npm install -S near-api-js After installing is finished the only thing you need to do is to run a command that will spin up a dev server for you npm run dev. And now you should be ready to start hacking 💻. By default your dev server should start on localhost:3000 and your application should look like this: It this tutorial we are going to add an ability for our visitors to connect their NEAR wallets to our dApp and check their NEAR token balances. If you don’t have a wallet already, don’t worry – you can get a Mainnet wallet here (please, note that in order to create a wallet on Mainnet you need to deposit a small amount of NEAR, at the time of writing it is equal to 0.1 NEAR) or you can use Testnet wallet which can be created for free here. To simplify this tutorial we are going to use Testnet network. First of all, let’s get rid of all unnecessary stuff in our application because we want to keep it as simple as possible. For now we just need to open [pages/index.vue] file in your favorite code editor and replace everything inside <template> tag with the following code: <div class="container"> <h1 class="heading">Hello NEAR dApp</h1> <button type="button" class="btn">Connect NEAR wallet</button> </div> Save the file and check your browser. You page should looks like this: At the moment we need to establish a connection to a NEAR network and then to a visitors NEAR wallets. To be honest it is pretty simple with a help of near-api-js library. First of all, let’s import this library inside our <script> tag: import * as nearAPI from "near-api-js"; Then we should configure this library in order to connect to NEAR. Let’s do that inside mounted method of our page component (this is a special method that will be called right after our page component is mounted into the DOM): export default { data() { return { near: null, wallet:); } } After creating a connection to NEAR wallet we can enable wallet sign in and sign out functionality right inside our application. For this we just need to use two simple methods of wallet’s API, so let’s create two additional methods for our component: methods: { login() { // this will redirect user to a wallet to authorize your dApp this.wallet.requestSignIn(); }, logout() { // this will delete all wallet access keys in browser local storage this.wallet.signOut(); }, } Now let’s change our template a little bit and show slightly different UI for authorized and not-authorized users. NEAR wallet API has a special method to determine whether visitor’s wallet is connected already or not. It is called wallet.isSignedIn(). Also, it has the ability to get wallet name by calling wallet.getAccountId() method. So we can simply add additional condition inside our mounted method to get information about currently connected user/wallet: if (this.wallet.isSignedIn()) { this.currentUser = this.wallet.getAccountId() } And now we have the ability to login, logout and display a name of connected wallet right inside of our dApp. Note, that right after connecting to a NEAR network and NEAR wallet we can do anything we want: create new NEAR accounts, transfer some funds, deploy smart-contracts or connect to the existing ones. A simple example of that would be getting a current balance of connected wallet. So, after clicking on “Connect NEAR wallet” button our visitor will be redirected to a NEAR wallet page and asked to provide an access to wallet for our dApp: After user’s approval he or she will be redirected back to our application: And here is the final version of our dApp component: <template> <div class="container"> <h1 class="heading">Hello NEAR dApp</h1> <div v- <h3>Hello, {{ currentUser }}</h3> <h4>You balance is: {{ walletBalance }}NEAR</h4> <button type="button" class="btn" @ Disconnect NEAR wallet </button> </div> <button v-else Connect NEAR wallet </button> </div> </template> <script> import * as nearAPI from 'near-api-js' export default { data() { return { near: null, wallet: null, currentUser: null, walletBalance:) if (this.wallet.isSignedIn()) { this.currentUser = this.wallet.getAccountId() this.walletBalance = ( (await this.wallet.account().state()).amount / 10 ** 24 ).toFixed(2) } }, methods: { login() { this.wallet.requestSignIn() }, logout() { this.wallet.signOut() this.currentUser = null }, }, } </script> Finally it looks like our decentralized application is ready for production which means it is ready to see Mainnet 🎉 And that’s it for today. I’m thinking about creating a series of short how-to’s tutorials about NEAR blockchain so let me know if you are interested in this type of content. Stay safe and remember: Future is NEAR ;)

Sichuan spicy chicken, we call it la zi ji (辣子鸡), which means pepper and chicken. The authentic look you will find in Sichuan province is that the whole dish is full of pepper and Hua Jiao (花椒). Looks crazy and it might scare some of you… Personally, I think it is very tasty and addictive- The chicken is salty, slightly sweet and full of warm spicy flavors. I hope you will like it too. Note: Product links below are affiliate links. I may earn a commission if you purchase an item on a linked website within 24 hours. Yum Spicy Szechuan Chicken Stir Fry Ingredients FOR THE SPICY CHICKEN MARINADE: - 1 pound of chicken breast - 3 tbsp of cornstarch - 1.5 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine - 1.5 tbsp of soy sauce - 1 tsp of black pepper - 1 tsp of garlic powder - 1 tsp of sugar - 1 tsp of five spice - 1/2 tsp of salt - 1/2 tsp of baking soda FOR STIR FRY: - 3 cups of dried chili - 1/4 cup of oil - 1/4 cup of green Sichuan peppercorn - 1/3 cup of minced garlic - 1/3 cup of ginger strips - A hand full of the white part of a spring onion - Few pieces of face heaven chilies optional - White sesame seeds Instructions - Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. - Marinate it with Chinese cooking wine, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, sugar, five spice, a little bit of salt, some cornstarch. Mix it until the liquid is all gone. Set that aside for 30 minutes before frying it. - Bring the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the temperature with 1 small piece of chicken. If the chicken floats to the top and there are many bubbles coming out, it means you are good to go. - We are going to fry the chicken twice. The first time is to cook the chicken through. The second time is to get a nice color and make the surface a bit crispy. - Separate your chicken before you put them into the hot oil. It is very important to make sure your chicken doesn’t clump up together. Slightly push them a little bit to make sure they are fully separated. - After a minute, you can take it out. Don’t fry it too long because pieces of chicken this small cook quickly. Let it rest for few minutes. - Before you fry it the second time, you need to be careful with the hot oil. It will splash a lot because of the water from the first time you fry the chicken. - You only need about 40 seconds to get it really nice. - Take it out. Set that aside and we will start the stir fry process. - Heat up your wok on high for 10 seconds, then turn the heat to low. Add in 1/4 cup of oil along with all the aromatics (garlic, the ginger, the white part of spring onion, Sichuan peppercorn and the face heaven chilGive it a little stir. Then add in the red dry chilies. Mix it together. - I like to add a tsp of salt, this will help release the flavor. - Stir this on low heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add your chicken into the wok. Mix everything together and add a splash of water from the side of the wok. A tiny amount of water will help the chicken become infused with the flavors. - Keep stirring it for 2 or 3 minutes. Take it out. Add some sesame seeds as garnish. You are done.

Isn’t chicken adobo the best? Without a doubt, chicken adobo is one of the top tier Filipino dishes out there. You can’t go wrong with the fragrant smell of the garlicky, umami adobo sauce, as well as the tender meat or vegetables you cook it in. Unlike other classic Filipino dishes like tinola, whose flavor is subtler, or sinigang, who leans towards a more sour palate, adobo is salty, savory, and delicious in its own unique way. Adobo doesn’t actually refer to any specific protein or veggie that you find in the dish. Instead, adobo is what you call the cooking process of marinating any ingredient of your choice in a combination of garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. For this recipe, I use 6 tablespoons of white vinegar and half a cup of soy sauce. This is to strike a good balance of flavors; you don’t want your adobo turning out too salty or too sour. Of course, if you prefer one flavor over the other, you can adjust this ingredient accordingly. Chicken adobo is such a great comfort food. Warm and delicious, it never disappoints, and is often the go-to in many Filipino kitchens. It’s great for any time of day, be it morning, noon, or night. I like to have mine during breakfast especially, with a yummy fried egg and some garlic rice –– it’s the perfect way to start the day. The ingredients in adobo can also be adaptable. Are you the type to enjoy potatoes in your adobo? How about pineapples? Depending on what region you’re in, chicken adobo can be enjoyed in a myriad of forms. What type of meat and veggies do you like in your adobo? Let us know! Today we’re taking the classic chicken adobo and adding a special –– or should I say, spicy twist! Our chicken adobo today will be a spicy chicken adobo! With the addition of Thai chili peppers, our Filipino favorite will be given an extra kick! How to Cook Spicy Chicken Adobo An important part of cooking is always preparing your ingredients beforehand. Slice up your 1 ½ pounds of chicken into serving pieces, if you haven’t already bought them cut up. Your bay leaves (we’ll be using around 3 for this recipe) should also be dried. Crush your 6 cloves of garlic, and chop the Thail chili peppers we’ll be using for spice. To begin cooking, combine your chicken, soy sauce, and vinegar in a bowl. Make sure to let your chicken marinate well. This is another important step in making your chicken adobo: ensuring that your chicken is able to soak up all the flavors you are letting it steep in. The marinating process should take about 30 minutes. Once your thirty minutes are up, it’s now time to heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Take your marinated chicken from the bowl and fry it. However, it’s important that you don’t throw away the rest of your marinade; you’ll be needing it later. Frying your chicken should take about 4 minutes per piece, with each piece frying at 2 minutes per side. Remove your chicken from the pan afterwards and set it aside. With the remaining oil, toss in the cloves of garlic you’d crushed beforehand. Sauté your garlic pieces until they become a beautiful golden brown. Add your chicken back into the pan, alongside the remaining marinade. After adding a cup of water, wait until you’ve brought your adobo to a boil. Add the remainder of ingredients back into your pan. These include your peppercorn, sugar, chopped chili peppers, and dried bay leaves. Lower the heat on your pan and cover it. Let your chicken adobo stew on its own for 35 minutes. It’s important to lower the heat, so as not to make your meat too tough. (Around this time, you can probably start cooking your rice, too. Another option you have is taking leftover rice and making a nice garlic rice to go alongside your chicken adobo. This makes for a great meal, especially for breakfast in the mornings!) Check on your chicken adobo every once in a while, tasting it with a teaspoon. If you need to add more salt, do so! Your remaining liquid in the pan should start or be in the process of evaporating by now. Once you’ve seen that all the liquid has evaporated, your spicy chicken adobo is ready! Transfer your dish to a serving bowl alongside your heaping bowl of white rice. Share and enjoy it with your family! Let us know what you think of this Spicy Chicken Adobo! Spicy Chicken Adobo Ingredients - 1 ½ lbs. chicken sliced into serving pieces - 6 cloves garlic crushed - 6 tablespoons white vinegar - ½ cup soy sauce - 1 tablespoon whole peppercorn - 3 bay leaves dried - 1 cup water - 5 Thai chili pepper chopped - 1 teaspoon sugar optional - 4 tablespoons cooking oil Instructions - Combine chicken, soy sauce and vinegar. Marinate for 30 minutes. - Heat oil in a pan. Fry the marinated chicken for 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan. Set aside. - Using remaining oil, saute the garlic until golden brown. Add the chicken back into the pan and then pour remaining marinade. Add water and let boil. - Put whole peppercorn, sugar, chili pepper, and bay leaves into the pan. Adjust heat to the lowest setting. Cover and continue cooking for 35 minutes. - Season with salt if needed. Let remaining liquid evaporate. - Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with warm rice.

I recently had the chance to teach a workshop about the use of freedom-of-information laws to some exceptionally bright college journalists from across the South. The focus of the presentation was overcoming obstacles when government agencies delay, deny or deflect requests for public records. To get things started, I asked the 45 attendees, by a show of hands, to indicate how many of them had actually filed an open-records request. I assumed one-third, maybe one-half, had selected that particular workshop to get answers to their questions about why their requests went unfulfilled. Zero hands went up. This is disappointing but entirely understandable. All of us, journalists included, suffer from an overload of online information that we cannot possibly process. A student juggling journalistic work against a universe of competing responsibilities and distractions can be excused for thinking, “There’s already much more data searchable online than I’ll ever be able to read — why would I want to ask for more?” The answer, of course, is that even the best online data can be incomplete or misleading. Student journalists have, for example, used independent public-records digging to demonstrate that the crime reports disseminated by their own colleges were deceptively incomplete. It is possible to have a very fine journalistic career without ever making a request for public records, of course. But the secret to being a successful entrepreneurial journalist in the digital age is to have an original take on the news, adding some value to what is already out there in the public domain. And a person who is skilled at gathering original information not otherwise widely available will have not just a fine career but an outstanding one. In honor of Sunshine Week 2011, here are some resources to help you get started on the way to attaining FOIA ninja status: - Recently updated legal guides in the “Know Your Rights” section of the SPLC website demonstrate how to lift the lid on secretive university foundations, analyze crime trends on college campuses using the Clery Act, and gain access to student government records and meetings. - The SPLC’s monthly podcasts often highlight examples of excellent journalistic work exemplifying innovative uses of public disclosure laws. Some of the very best guest experts have included: - Reporter Mc Nelly Torres of the Florida Center for Investigative reporting, on how to investigate the growing trend of unaccredited, for-profit high schools. - Reporter Nathan Halverson of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, on building the paper trail to show how university foundations invest and spend donors’ money. - Reporter Ben Protess, describing how the Huffington Post Investigative Fund documented questionable affinity marketing agreements between colleges and credit card companies. - Reporter Kristen Lombardi of the Center for Public Integrity, explaining how to find the records and sources that shed light on the way colleges investigate and punish sexual assaults on campus. - Reporters Jodi Cohen, Tara Malone and Stacy St. Clair of the Chicago Tribune describing how college journalists can uncover preferential VIP admissions policies at their institutions. - The automated open-records request letter generator on the SPLC’s website has been successfully used many thousands of times, by professional journalists and by citizen activists as well as by students, to simplify the process of asking for government docuements. It is wonderful to use Sunshine Week as a time to speak aspirationally about improving transparency in government, but plenty of information already is available for the asking and is going unexamined. There is no better way to commemorate Sunshine Week than to take your rights for a test-drive. You never know what you might find.

Dr Katerina Flint-Nicol is an experienced researcher and a frequent contributor of Spot On, Doc. About Dr Katerina Flint-Nicol is a popular culture historian and independent researcher who specialises in British cinema, popular music, gender, and class, but also has broader interests in music fandom and fashion. Her PhD, Men, Manors and Monsters: Hoodie Horror and the Cinema of Alterity focused on the concepts of British cinematic realism and horror in the onscreen representations and aesthetics of working-class masculinity in British films in the new millennium. Kat’s fascination with films began at an early age thanks to BBC programming. Spending Saturday mornings watching screwball comedies on BBC2, Kat developed a love for Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn which continues to this day. But a late-night screening of The Ghoul, again on BBC2, introduced a very young (and probably too-young) Kat to the horror film, instilling a fascination with the gothic and British horror cinema which she has developed into a formal research pursuit, with questions of national cinema and the process of cinematic gothicisation underpinning areas of her thesis. Growing in tandem with her preoccupation with cinema, Kat’s resolute obsession with Mod culture and Paul Weller has provided a synchronous platform to explore how class, masculinity and style form a symbolic language articulated across mediums in the British cultural imaginary, specifically from 1960s onwards. The resulting synergy between private cultural practices and research interests has motivated Kat to understand the overarching relationship between cultural authenticity and ownership of narrative. Whilst studying for her PhD, Kat was co-organiser of the Waves of Horror film festival, including a French Extreme Film season and an unforgettable woodland screening of The Blair Witch Project. She is currently working on two articles, the first on narrative, identity, and neoliberalism in the 2008 film, Eden Lake, and the gangster as a site of class and gendered performativity in British cinema.

And you’re masking half the face. This could be a large bad idea, companion. 6. Ditch the neutrals Should you want to resemble everyone rather than receive numerous swipes, next use black color, white in color, or mild brown. If, alternatively, you will do wish to excel, you then must follow this Tinder strategy: put on shades that excel. An individual considers so many people posting common photos, in simple designs, they will get tedious and they’ll mindlessly swipe left. Following INCREASE, there you might be, in your Hawaiian dad shirt or pretty reddish apparel sticking out on the crowd. That’ll produce some key consideration. 7. posting various pictures But not really similar people- the mind was creatively stimulated, so article many different recreation you are going to see starting designed to induce some reasonable dialogue with others. Should you have a photoshoot, with numerous attractive pictures in the same clothes, in the same environment, you need to avoid the longing to share them. We get the theory. An individual seemed excellent. But just blog post one, in order to find a different high quality ones. That should positively determine to your benefit. Further photographs = extra swipes. Promised. And something concern I do want to respond that I get typically is “Which ways can I swipe on Tinder?”. If you’re looking into individuals and imagine they’re a beneficial fit available, consequently swipe ideal. If you should dont ambiance with somebody, and you also don’t want to correspond to all of them, then swipe remaining. Appropriate swipe = great. Put swipe = awful. 8. do not just document pictures of your muscles without your face Pleaseeeee. Yes, an individual workout. Yes, you appear excellent. But instead of thread half-naked pics, gain a person over along with your personality! Most likely, the shirtless mirror photograph is not at all a major champ. So essentially, involving this Tinder rule, article basically attractive picture of yourself that show you train, but don’t staying very obnoxious using shirtless images.

‘It’s frightening.’ Quarantined ICE detainees in El Paso share their stories. Women held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in El Paso are expressing growing concern after several detainees tested positive for COVID-19. ICE has confirmed five positive cases but the number of people exposed to the virus is much higher, according to women inside the facility. “It’s frightening” is how one of the women described the situation after learning a person they were in contact with daily has tested positive for COVID-19. She and another woman reached out to express their concerns after they were placed in quarantine. They don’t want their names or other identifying details used because they fear punishment from ICE, including having their phone privileges revoked. “We all were together in the cafeteria, side by side eating with her, and others all bunched up,” the first woman said. “We mingled with the first girl who on the 16th was detected with COVID-19 and tested positive,” the second woman said. Quarantined in a tent These women say they are among 17 detainees now quarantined in a tent at ICE’s El Paso Service Processing Center. “Thank God none of us have symptoms,” the first woman said. But behind a partition in the tent are other women who they suspect are sick with COVID-19. “There are 12 people who are wearing face masks,” the first woman said. That includes the first woman who tested positive on April 16. “The rest of the 11 must already be sick if she’s in there with them,” said the first woman. “They’re all mixed together,” said the other woman. The women who are in quarantine in the El Paso processing center said they’ve asked for information from the staff at the detention center about what is happening but don’t get answers. They also complain they do not have enough soap and the “chemical” used to wash their clothes is causing rashes. They are not allowed outside to exercise because they are in quarantine, they said. The beds in the tent have been spaced apart to help with social distancing, but the women say precautions were only taken after some of the detainees became visibly sick. “That’s when they began to separate us,” the first woman said. ICE, El Paso public health officials provide little information ICE has reported 287 COVID-19 cases as of Wednesday among detainees across the country, including five in the El Paso detention facility and one at the Otero County Processing Center in Chaparral, N.M. ICE has ignored El Paso Matters’ request for comments about the situation in El Paso-area facilities. The agency also has said 32 employees at detention centers have tested positive for COVID-19, but none in the El Paso area. That count appears to include only people who work directly for ICE and excludes contract employees. ICE told Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., that a worker at Otero — where most of the staff are contractors — tested positive for COVID-19, but ICE has never publicly acknowledged that. El Paso public health officials don’t seem to be tracking whether any workers at the ICE facility on Montana Avenue have tested positive for COVID-19 and are at risk for spreading the disease in the community. City spokeswoman Laura Cruz-Acosta said El Paso public health officials are not including ICE detention cases in their count of infections because the tests are conducted by the federal government. Any employees or contractors working at the facility who test positive would be included in the public health count, but Cruz-Acosta couldn’t say if any had tested positive. When asked if city public health officials have begun an epidemiological investigation now that ICE has acknowledged a cluster of cases at its detention facility, Cruz-Acosta said: “Staff advised that they are still investigating and once we have relevant information regarding any federal detention facilities we will be able to share as we did with the health facility.” She was referring to an outbreak at the El Paso Psychiatric Center in which 42 patients and employees have tested positive. The city has refused to identify the health facility; medical and legal officials have identified the facility to El Paso Matters. El Paso Matters CEO Robert Moore contributed to this story.

When I was young, just like any boy, I had my heroes. These were male role models that I looked up to, icons of strength and heroism. Actually, I think that those two attributes and characteristics resound in any young boy’s psyche, regardless of the convoluted and gender-confused age that we live in modern days. My first heroes were The Incredible Hulk (both the Lou Ferrigno TV version and the Marvel comics version), Godzilla and Conan The Barbarian (both the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie version and the Marvel comics version). Very soon thereafter, however, I discovered pro wrestling’s Hulk Hogan. Let me tell you, as a kid, nothing was more real and more potent as a tangible idol than Hulk Hogan. I recall watching mesmerized in front of our old, snowy television set in Thunder Bay, Ontario, watching Hulk Hogan battle the likes of Nikolai Volkoff and King Kong Bundy on late night Saturday Night’s Main Event broadcasts on the NBC station. I was sold for life, marking the beginnings of my foray into the wonderous world of professional wrestling, a journey along which I found many more icons and tangible heroes. Whether it was a Canadian wrestling star like Dan Kroffat or Steve Strong out of Montreal’s International Wrestling scene, or American stars like Ric Flair, The Road Warriors or Bam Bam Bigelow, I had discovered real life heroes that resonated with me at my very core. I recall drawing detailed, color portraits of guys like Bigelow and Flair, and at specific wrestling events, I would boldly walk up to the promoter or agents prior to the event and tell them that I would like to present my artwork in person to the star. NWA promoter Gary Juster allowed me behind the curtain in Boston, Mass. to meet Bigelow, whereas arena security in Calgary at the Saddledome allowed me the chance to meet Flair. As a kid, those were milestone moments, where I got to even fleetingly meet my heroes for real. I have no idea if those stars ever retained or treasured the artwork that I drew of them, but as you all can see from the Artwork link here at my website, I am a very proficient graphic artist with an extensive resume nowadays. I was pretty damn good back then, too, even if I say so myself. As I became a professional wrestler myself, actively starting my in-ring career in 1994, I purposed myself to become more than just a plagarized copy of my heroes: no, indeed, I would become an original. Once I found my groove in terms of my wrestling style and persona, the doors opened up for me. I became one of the most popular wrestlers in all of Italy over 2005, so much so that the promoter even noted it in front of the entire locker room. I became one of the most loved foreign bad guys to ever frequent Norway from 2003 onwards. Girls would bring “StarBuck is a starf*ck!” signs to the shows, which, of course, I plead innocence to! I would become one of the most popular foreign stars in all of the country of Japan in 2011, a buzz that lives on even to this day. In Finland, I have become an icon of the country’s pop culture fabric, due to my contribution above all in professional wrestling, and secondly as a rock vocalist, fronting my various bands over the years. I recall strapping young lads, like a teenage Mikko Maestro, who now wrestles for FCF in Finland, run into me while jogging seaside, telling he’s a big fan. I recall wrestling in Tallinn, Estonia in 2007 and making such an impact on one young fan, that he turned away from partying, drugs and alcohol, choosing to follow my example. I recall signing loads of autographs for sick children at a special charity wrestling match at the American Car Show in Helsinki in 2009, with broad smiles on those children’s faces. I recall my numerous trips to Japan, where fans have eagerly treated me to the finest restaurant meals, presented me with spectacular gifts and cheered me on in the ring unlike any other audience prior or since. In short, I reached my goal and fulfilled my aspiration of becoming not just an original, but a hero to others myself. For this, I am extremely proud … in a good way. When my wife last visited her homeland of Romania and gave one of my signed photos to an 11-year-old kid there, I was told that he looks forward to the day that he can take a picture with me and mug together for the camera. All he has is YouTube and the Internet to follow my wrestling exploits, but for him, that is suffice. To know that I have made an indelible impact on a complete stranger like that, who doesn’t even have the opportunity to see live wrestling events, speaks volumes. Looking back on my career and lifetime contribution, I know that I have done something right, knowing somewhere out there, I am somebody’s hero.

RMN Joins TV5’s ‘Bilang Pilipino’ Election Coverage TV5’s Bilang Pilipino seeks to provide the most extensive and widest coverage of the forthcoming May 9, 2016 elections as it partners with Radio Mindanao Network (RMN), the largest radio network in the nation with almost 60 company-owned AM & FM radio stations located around the Philippines, in what could be the most important event in the country’s contemporary history. TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel C. Lorenzana; TV5 Head of News and Information Luchi Cruz-Valdes (represented by TV5 Head of News Operations DJ Sta. Ana); RMN Chairman and President Eric Canoy; RMN Vice President for Operations Enrico Canoy; and RMN News Head Jenil Demorito signed the memorandum of agreement (MOA) at TV5 Office, Marajo Tower, Bonifacio Global City last February 26, 2016. (From left to right) TV5 Head of News Operations DJ Sta. Ana, RMN Chairman and President Eric Canoy, TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel C. Lorenzana, RMN Vice President for Operations Enrico Canoy and RMN News Head Jenil Demorito “The joining together of our two vast media networks will definitely expand the reach of Bilang Pilipino in providing the fastest and the most accurate information in the conduct and results of the 2016 elections. We want all Pinoys wherever they may be in the country and even abroad, to be in touch with the latest happenings as well as meaningful analysis of current developments related to Election 2016 in which we will decide on who is going to lead the country in the coming years,“ shared TV5 President and CEO Emmanuel Lorenzana. RMN Chairman and President Eric Canoy for himself adds that, “We believe that with TV5’s nationwide reach, state-of-the-art technology and world-class news coverage, RMN, being the No. 1 Radio Network in the country, could continue and expand on our public service commitment to give the Filipino public the news and information that they would need as we have been doing so since we started in the 1960’s. Our mutual goal is to engage the Filipino voters and to make them fully informed with everything that they need to know about this momentous and highly anticipated national event.” am not a fan , pero si nadine napansin ko ginagaya niya si kathryn bernardo sa dress style and hair style , pati arte niya sa teleserye may hawig sa pangako sa iyo yong sequence, walang originality ang arte nila dalawa, gaya lang sila sa kathniel , na original love team, dapat mayroon silang sariling identity. saka bakit sila pumunta sa ABS_CBN dapat sa kapuso channel sila -sa eat bulaga hindi sa asap

After reading about how Benjamin Anastas describes his father as “a brooding Greek beatnik” who is “potbellied from lentils and with a beard down to his solar plexus chakra,” I knew I had to read his memoir Too Good to Be True. After all, I write about Greeks and so-called beatniks. Too Good to Be True is the story of the breakup of his marriage and the dissolution of his writing career. Its not told in an overtly emotional manner, yet its frankness is almost unsettling. These days we’re used to people baring all when it comes to relationships, but to tell the truth about money? To admit that even though he’d taught at an Ivy League and published in big-name magazines, he had to dig around in couch cushions to come up with money for his son’s dinner? That’s the type of honesty that’s hard to read because you worry he’s sabotaging his career by admitting his writing isn’t going all that well and putting it out there for editors and agents to read without the distance of time. But isn’t that the struggle of the memoirist? While many critics claim that memoir writing is egocentric, a memoirist must lay down his ego. He must sacrifice self and present the truth. And while a memoirist may be introspective by nature, the beauty of memoir is discovering the truth along with the author. This section from the chapter “Old Friends” is worth considering in terms of both memoir writing and living life: How much of our lives do we write, and how much of them are written for us? I’ve been thinking about this problem lately, looking back over the trail that brought me to this place, and reading my progress at every step along the way—as adrift as I have been from the usual compass points, as unaware of my direction—for signs of an author, for the fingerprints left behind by some great invisible hand. My life is not a story. It has never been a story, not for me, not even while I’ve been taking great pains with this testament to tell it truthfully on the page. I am in too deep to call it a story. It hurts too much for me to understand it. But I am trying. The contents of the book may center around infidelity and a mid-career slump, but the deeper story, the one that Anastas circles around to, is the relationship between parents and children, the relationship he had with his parents and the relationship he has with his son. If I could request a follow up to Too Good to Be True, I would ask Benjamin Anastas to write a memoir about his childhood.

8 Reasons Spring is the Best Time for Gutter Repair Through the blustery and cold seasons of fall and winter, our home’s exterior takes a lot of damage. Ice expanding in the sidings and trim, bugs and birds settling into the warm crannies, and the winds pushing the walls to the max can leave your home wanting for warmer weather. As that weather comes, the drive to make improvements on our outside environment comes with the expectation of making what’s already there shine just a little brighter. Though it might be true that gutter repair may not be on the forefront of your mind this season, we’re here to say maybe it should be! Gutters on a home play a big role in keeping the house’s exterior neat and tidy and the underlying foundation nice and dry, but these helpful systems can break down over time. Debris, rust, clogs, and cracking can contribute to the overall downfall of your current gutter setup. It’s important to schedule gutter repairs before any major damage happens, and here’s why Spring is the best time to mark that off your to do list! 1. Spring means rain. We’ve all heard the saying “April showers bring May flowers”, but little is mentioned about the water management systems we rely on to keep our homes dry. During the fall and winter months, gutters can become dirty and clogged with fallen leaves, ice, and other debris that would cause a breakdown in your gutter system. Cleaning them regularly helps, but before the rain puts a damper on your warm weather plans, get a professional to look at your gutters and make sure they’re in tip top shape. 2. Wear and Tear. Gutters are built to last, but that doesn’t mean they’re infallible. Over time, just like with anything else, gutters need to be replaced or repaired. Small patches might not be such a big deal, but a whole rehaul of your gutter system can cost a pretty penny. Best to nip problem areas in the bud before they become more permanent issues! 3. It’s nice outside! Between the gloom of rainy days, most spring afternoons can be spent outside enjoying the sunlight. Whether you decide to make repairs yourself or hire a professional, gutter repairs can mean hours of work outside. Might as well do it at a time where the sun isn’t beating over your head, and the heat outside is tolerable. 4. Greenery is growing, make sure it’s the kind you like! Spring is a great time for new life and new beginnings. Unfortunately for us, pesky foliage and mold like to grow when it’s warm too. Damp, dark places are perfect spots for spores to settle, and your gutters might be an ideal place! Introducing these kinds of molds to the outside of your home can have some serious health complications for some, so it’s important that your gutters are clean, secure, and ready to go for the spring and summer. 5. Creepy Crawlies and Critters. During the cold fall and winter months, your gutters might have seemed like a warm and safe place to some unsuspecting creature looking for a safe place to rest. These sometimes unsavory house guests can have some pretty severe consequences, but because Spring is also the season of love, you might be surprised later in the year to a whole extra family living with you. Gutters that are cleaned and maintained regularly, especially in the spring, may be saved from the trouble of evicting these trespassers and save you money in repairs later. 6. Spend now, save later! Regular gutter maintenance saves the average homeowner several thousand dollars in roof and drywall repair later down the line. The range of average cost of a professional gutter clean and repair service starts at $250, whereas the average cost for replacing a damaged roof due to improperly cared for gutters? $5000 and up! 7. It’s easy to start and schedule, the power is in your hands. We know that your to-do list this season is a long one, and the choices for high-end professionals can be a bit overwhelming. Just searching for gutter repair costs might be a little bit of a stretch, but every responsible homeowner knows that the long term investment payoff is worth the cash. Google is a great resource for finding reputable professionals, by typing in key like “ gutter repair near me” or ‘gutter contractors near me”, you have the opportunity to review dozens of great providers for such a vital service. 8. Property value goes through the roof! Sometimes literally. With spring and summer being the prime time to buy and sell property, conditions of the outside amenities are under heavy scrutiny. With gutters being such a crucial system, making sure yours are presentable and functional can easily add a few hundred dollars to the value of a property. An owner looking to sell during the spring or summer should make sure to mark this off the list before going to the market. The spring and summer seasons are great for outdoor fun in the sun and family home improvement projects. While you get excited to start the latest college try at a backyard garden, remember to pay special attention to the gutter system responsible for keeping your happy home dry. We encourage you to use that rainy day fund to prepare for the actual rainy days ahead to save you a little heartache later down the line. There’s nothing like the peace of mind to know that no matter what the new year brings, it won’t bring your gutters down. Just like the common spring clean, gutter repair should be an annual consideration for any well-kept, well-loved home. Spring time is the best time to dig your heels in and get the less than fun stuff done before settling into the laid-back summer routine. Contact a professional today, you may be surprised at how easy and affordable gutter maintenance and repair can be. Your family, your house, and your wallet might just thank you.

How to Conduct an Appropriate Office Holiday Party The Winter season is a time of year when people love to celebrate. Office Christmas, Holiday and Year End Parties are no exception. These parties provide opportunities for employees to socialize with their coworkers, have fun, and even show off their Christmas sweater collection. However, Holiday Parties come with risks that employers should be aware of so they can protect their employees during the festivities. In this blog post, we will discuss some ways you can conduct an appropriate office holiday party without risking anyone's safety or wellbeing. One of the best ways to ensure a Holiday Party is successful and people have fun, but also stay safe, is by hosting it at a restaurant. This way you can hire a professional server who has been trained on how to serve alcohol responsibly as well as provide food for your employees. Having an open bar can encourage your employees to overindulge and potentially drive home after the party. In addition, you want to make sure that none of your guests are under the influence as this could lead to a sexual harassment claim being filed against them or even violence occurring at the Holiday Party. Moreover, if you are hosting a Holiday party at a venue where there are vaccine mandates in place, please ensure that you discuss this with your team prior to the event taking place in the event that you have some attendees who would not be able to attend due to their vaccination status. It is highly recommended that you not make attendance voluntary for your Holiday Party for a variety of reasons including being around alcohol consumption. Alcohol can make some employees feel uncomfortable, so it's important for them to have the ability to opt out and avoid attending if that feeling arises during your event. This way you don't end up having workers show up at an alcohol-fueled celebration where they're unhappy or uncomfortable! Another action that can be taken by employers during an office Holiday Party is providing nonalcoholic beverages. This way employees do not feel obligated to only drink alcoholic beverages. This will give people who don't want alcohol an opportunity to socialize and network while still having fun! Having a professional server to provide alcohol service at your Holiday party is another way to ensure your employees are safe if you are hosting in your own office or in another location that isn’t staffed with qualified and trained servers. Having a professional server at your Holiday party is also important because servers must have the Serving it Right certificate which includes knowing how to identify if someone has had too much to drink and when they should cut them off. Another action you can take to protect your employees during an office Holiday party is by providing taxi vouchers for all of your guests at the end of the night. This way, if there are any people who have had one or more alcoholic beverages they will be able to get home safely without driving under the influence and putting themselves or others in danger. It is important to emphasize comportment at office parties. Employees must still be held to company rules about harassment, discrimination and violent behavior. Language being used at a Holiday party should be appropriate for the workplace. Company workplace harassment and anti-bullying policies are still in effect at events. Now it is time to plan an appropriate and safe party so you can enjoy yourself without worrying about potential risks that could arise from hosting such an event. In this blog post, we outlined some tips on how employers should conduct themselves during their office holiday parties in order to ensure they are not putting anyone at risk or compromising any employee's wellbeing. If these precautions sound like something you want assistance with, reach out to our team today! We offer to consult services as well as training and coaching programs designed specifically for HR professionals who host an annual company-wide celebration. Do you have any other concerns about hosting a safe Holiday party? Contact us now at info@streamdentalhr.com

As our education industry goes along with modernization, the use of technologies is now commonly observed in most classes which significantly affects our learning process. Technologies yield great learning experiences for both students and teachers. In the present day, traditional learning is rarely practice. Educators adapted to flipped learning since nowadays, students and educators already have smartphones or laptops and easy internet access. Well, innovation does not end there, provide your students with a new and creative approach to learning by integrating QR codes. Concept of Flipped Learning Flipped learning is an educational method focused on self-learning by letting the students’ study lessons at their paces. It would not be hard to implement this mode of learning as most of the learning materials are available on the internet. In this method, students would go through the learning materials on their own and apply what they’ve learned in the face-to-face setting together with their fellow students and instructor. While most content in this mode of learning is accessible online and in recorded lectures, the use of QR codes would be extremely beneficial in providing fast access to multiple online learning materials and courses. With the availability of a QR code generator online, having a flipped learning environment with QR codes is just one creation away. 5 Interesting Ways To Use QR Codes In Flipped Learning Teaching requires passion and dedication as it can be stressful sometimes. However, you can still lighten your workloads and remain an effective educator by applying QR codes in your learning materials. Here’s the list of 5 interesting ways to use QR codes in flipped learning: Generate QR Codes For Your Google Forms The use of Google forms enables the creative side of teachers and educators in terms of automating their paper works. Google form is a tool used to make lesson plans, auto-graded quizzes, assessment forms of learners, and other possible usages of this tool. Make the distribution of your Google forms learning materials more convenient and quicker by embedding these Google forms into a QR code. By just scanning the QR codes, you can immediately redirect your students to your Google forms materials. Students will no longer manually type the link to access these forms. Make QR Codes Of Your Pdf Learning Materials If you are using flipped learning as your mode of teaching, you will need more reading materials to support students learning on their own. Having these materials in PDF files is an excellent idea since PDF files are mobile-friendly and do not lose their formats. The use of a PDF QR code can simplify the process of sharing these files with students. Create QR Codes For Your Video Files Learning can be more interesting when you incorporate demonstrative videos that would certainly help students understand a concept better. You can make use of some educational and inspirational available on YouTube or other platforms. To create QR codes for videos, you will need assistance from an effective QR code generator online. Simply copy and paste the link in the URL feature or upload a video on the file feature. Once you have the QR codes ready, deploy them in your learning materials. QR Codes For Spotify Podcasts Some Spotify Podcasts discuss history, current events, science facts, and other concepts that are deemed useful to aid students self-learning. With QR codes these Podcasts are now made available to students by just pointing to the camera of their smartphones. Url QR Codes For Useful Sites And Blogs Giving your students a new way to access directly sites and blogs as additional reading materials through QR codes is a superb idea. The use of QR codes attracts students thus increasing their interest to scan the QR code and read its content. Conclusion: Using flipped learning method promotes active learning during class time as students were able to view the lecture materials and presentations at home or outside class. Students become more involved in the class discussion thus improve their understanding of a certain concept. Integrating QR codes in this mode of learning is a smart and excellent means of distributing useful materials to students since QR codes can speed up the distribution process. And to make more visually appealing for them flipped learning teachers can integrate the use of a QR code generator with a logo to create customized QR codes to house topical learning materials.

This article will show you how to create swap space in Arch. Swap space is a great way to give yourself a safety net when it comes to memory, or RAM. Not only is it good to have this as a safety net, it’s just great to have more memory! Introduction Swap space is a great way to give yourself a safety net when it comes to memory, or RAM. Not only is it good to have this as a safety net, it’s just great to have more memory! This article will go through disk partitioning, creating a swap filesystem, activating it and adding an entry for it in the fstab file so that it will automatically mount at boot. Disk Partitioning The first step is in partitioning the disk you’d like to use is identifying the device. Use the lsblk command to display all connected disk devices. If there are already disks partitioned, this command will output them in a tree formation. The name of the device you are looking for will look like this: /dev/sdb Now that you have identified the name of the device and location, we need to partition the disk. In my case, I will create a single partition that will be the size of the entire disk. To do that, open the device with fdisk. fdisk /dev/sdb To create this single partition disk, use the d command until you are informed that there are no partitions left. Next, use the n command and hit enter through the defaults to create a partition that takes up the full size of the disk. Lastly, use the w command to write the changes to disk and exit fdisk. The Swap Filesystem The next step is to create the swap filesystem and activate it. The command to do this is mkswap. With this command, we will identify the disk that we want to use and, more specifically, the partition number that needs a swap space filesystem. Here’s what that will look like, keeping in mind that you should be replacing /dev/sdb with whatever your disk device is named. mkswap /dev/sdb1 As you can see, we add the number 1 to the device name in order to specify the partition number to configure. Now, if we haven’t received any errors, we can activate that newly created swap space with swapon. swapon /dev/sdb1 Now you can take a look at your system monitoring tool, like top or htop, and you’ll see that you now have more swap space! However, if we were to restart the system right now, we’d lose that swap space. We would have to reactivate it with swapon, unless we have an fstab entry that configures the swap to activate automatically at boot. Creating an Fstab Entry The fstab file is a configuration file that specifies which disk devices need to be mounted/activated and how exactly that should be done. You can take a look at what already exists in that file with the cat command, like this. cat /etc/fstab The output that follows may have one or many lines, depending on how many disks are connected to your system. At least one of them will probably include one of the partitions on /dev/sda, which is most likely an ext4 type filesystem. Taking a quick glance at this will give you a general idea of how it all works. Now that you understand how this file works, add a line to the end of the fstab file with echo. Replace /dev/sdb1 with the name and partition number with yours, if different. echo "/dev/sdb1 none swap sw 0 0" >> /etc/fstab Now, safely restart your system and check top or htop to see that the swap space has successfully been reactivated on boot. Conclusion If you have gotten this far, congratulations! You have now created swap space in Arch Linux. Now you have an extra layer of RAM memory that can be used as either a supplement or a safety net.

Cows’ Milk Allergy Did you know that cows’ milk allergies might be more common than allergies to peanuts, shellfish, and eggs? Cows’ milk allergy mostly affects infants and children, but also up to 1 in 13 adults! (1) Further, a meta-analysis of 51 studies on the prevalence of food allergies found that up to 17% of people self-report an allergy to cows’ milk (2). In addition to the immediate symptoms that can occur, such as wheezing, hives, vomiting, and life-threatening anaphylaxis, some symptoms can actually occur up to several days following dairy consumption, including eczema and acid reflux (3). This means people may not even realize their symptoms could be an allergic reaction to the cows’ milk they consumed days prior. Unfortunately, methods for reversing cows’ milk allergy, such as immunotherapy, have not been proven safe or effective, which is why doctors recommend avoiding dairy products entirely (4). Think you could be affected? Learn about the 4 Signs That You May Be Allergic to Dairy by Switch4Good expert, Dr. Vivian Chen. Our tip to you: avoid all forms of dairy to manage symptoms, including milk from sheep and goats. Click here to learn about alternatives to cows’ milk. References 1. El-Agamy, Elsayed.

Lactose Intolerance How can cows’ milk be considered a health food when 65% of the world’s population is intolerant to it? Once someone who is lactose intolerant consumes cows’ milk or other lactose-containing dairy products, symptoms can occur within 30 minutes to two hours! (1) The struggle is real. These symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, nausea, and diarrhea (1). Cows’ milk is making those who are lactose intolerant sick. According to the National Institute of Health, 65% of adults experience dairy intolerance, a generally lifelong inherited condition characterized by varying levels of difficulty digesting lactose (dairy sugar) (2). This condition is commonly referred to as lactose intolerance. Our tip to you: completely avoid lactose by passing on the milk, cheese, butter, cream, and other dairy products. Click here to read Switch4Good expert Dr. Angie Sadeghi’s breakdown of lactose intolerance. If you think you might be lactose intolerant, take our quiz to find out! References 1. NIH. Lactose Intolerance Statistics. 2. Swagerty et al. Lactose Intolerance. Am Fam Physician 2002; 65:1845-50,1855-6 Bone Density Don’t be fooled by advertisements claiming that cows’ milk helps strengthen bones—the research tells a different story. A 2018 meta-analysis involving over 250,000 male and female subjects found no link between drinking cows’ milk and a reduced risk of bone fractures (1). In fact, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal, those getting the USDA “recommended” 3+ glasses per day had a whopping 60% greater hip fracture rate (2). Yup, cows’ milk could actually make bones more brittle, not stronger. How can this be? Researchers suggest the milk sugar D-galactose promotes oxidative stress and inflammation, which are both linked to loss of muscle and bone (2). Additionally, while phosphorus is essential for calcium absorption, too much can be counter productive. Cows’ milk is so high in phosphorus that it can actually lead to calcium resorption from the bones (3). Our tip to you: for truly strong bones eat more fruits and vegetables! The foods highest in calcium and 50% more bioavailable than the calcium in cows’ milk are almonds, kidney beans, and most dark, leafy greens (4). Diets higher in fruits and vegetables have been shown to lead to denser bones in younger and older adults (5,6). References 1.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2006; 83(6):1254–1255 Asthma Cows’ milk and other dairy products have been shown to increase increased mucus production in the body, which is a hallmark symptom of asthma (1). Researchers hypothesize that increased intestinal permeability, which has been associated with strenuous exercise, allows the casein protein to leak through the gut and therefore stimulate excess mucus production (2,3). Why might this be? Asthmatics need more antioxidants to protect their vulnerable lungs, as they have far fewer antioxidants than most (4). By eating more foods that contain these antioxidants, they could reduce the chance of worsening symptoms by half! (5) Sounds so simple! But not for those who still consume dairy products. Unfortunately, there are not many antioxidants in dairy, so relying on dairy products may actually lead to worsening symptoms. Our tip to you: try some chocolate soymilk. Chocolate soymilk from Trader Joe’s contains almost double the antioxidant content of store brand chocolate cows’ milk (6). This may explain why an astounding 92% of people with asthma who cut out dairy and other animal foods for one year improved their symptoms enough to go from 4-5 medications to just 1!

In a study examining the incidence rates of ovarian cancer in 40 countries across 5 continents, researchers found they were most closely correlated with cows’ milk intake (1). The researchers suggest that women who drank just 1 or more glasses of whole cows’ milk per day were at three times greater risk for ovarian cancer (1). Skim milk has also been tied to this deadly disease. Our tip to you: Eat more vegetables! Although dairy consumption can increase the risk of developing ovarian cancer, vegetables can reduce it (2). Eating 3 or more servings of vegetables per day can decrease ovarian cancer risk by 39% (3). References → 1. Ganmaa D, Sato A.

Prostate Cancer Research Links Cows’ Milk to Increased Risk of Prostate Cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, American men have a 1 in 9 chance of developing prostate cancer—the second most common to skin cancer. Drinking cows’ milk each day can increase a boy’s risk of advanced prostate cancer threefold! (2) The same can be said for adults. A study of men across 42 countries revealed that cows’ milk was more closely linked to the development of prostate cancer than any other food (3). In fact, a primary research study found a 60% higher relative risk for those men consuming 2 cows’ milk servings per day compared to zero servings per day (4). Why might this be? Some researchers suggest it may be in part due to the high dietary phosphate content of cows’ milk (5), while others suggest that cows’ milk proteins can activate an enzyme whose signaling pathway can initiate prostate cancer development (6). Our tip to you: Research shows that men who ditched dairy and opted for a plant-based diet were able to cut their risk of prostate cancer by 35% (7). We suggest ditching dairy to lower your risk.

Breast Cancer Research Links Cows’ Milk to Increased Risk of Breast Cancer. A study of breast cancer cases which surveyed 40 countries across five continents revealed that cows’ milk was the second food most correlated with breast cancer (the first was meat) (1). Researchers suggest that since the cows’ milk we consume today is produced from pregnant cows, in which estrogen and progesterone levels are elevated, this can have adverse effects on the body and potentially stimulate the development of breast cancer (1). Additionally, research has shown that cows’ milk increases our circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), a growth-stimulating hormone, which can lead to unregulated cell growth, a characteristic of cancer (2). IGF-1 has also been shown to play a role in increasing other known risk factors for breast cancer, such as greater adult height, number of menstrual cycles, and higher birth weight (3). Our tip to you: Don’t be afraid to consume soy! Circulating estrogen levels decreased by 50% in women who drank soy milk every day and stayed down for one month even after they stopped drinking it (4). Soybeans contain phytoestrogens which not only can act as estrogen blockers (5), but also inhibit breast cancer cells from producing estrogen in the first place (6). References → 1. Ganmaa D, Sato A.

Hormones It is common knowledge that proper hydration is essential to any form of exercise, but chocolate milk is not the drink of champions. Cows’ milk, even “no hormone added,” “grass-fed,” and “locally produced,” contains 15 different sex hormones, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. That does not even include the other 60 natural hormones found in cows’ milk and the synthetic hormones many dairy cows are given to boost milk production. Consuming these large amount of hormones can lead to a wide array of unwanted side effects and even cancer. To learn more about the toxic effects of hormones in today’s cows’ milk from Dr. Vivian Chen, click here. ESTROGEN Cows’ milk and dairy products are full of estrogen hormones. These products supply 60-80% of the estrogen in our diets (1). This is due to the fact that the milk people consume is taken from pregnant cows. Modern genetically-improved dairy cows, such as the Holstein, lactate during the latter half of pregnancy, when estrogen levels are highly elevated (2). In fact, just 30-60 minutes after drinking milk, estrogen levels can increase by 26%! (2) Numerous studies have found an association between excess estrogen and increased risk of breast and prostate cancers, fatigue, and weight gain (3,4). Our tip to you: Pomegranate juice! Pomegranates contain aromatase inhibitors like ellagetanins which inhibit estrogen production (5). It is also a great anti-inflammatory food. Compared to drinking a placebo, pomegranate juice can increase Olympic weightlifting performance by 8%, decrease how hard training felt by 4%, and decrease muscle soreness by 13%! (6) And don’t be afraid of soy. Soy actually contains phytoestrogens which act as estrogen blockers (7). References → 1. Malekinejad H, Rezabakhsh A.

CORTISOL We are always trying to find ways to decrease our stress levels, as stress can reap terrible effects stress can have on our minds and bodies. Stress is often controlled by a hormone known as cortisol—a stress hormone consistently found in cows’ milk (1). To make matters worse, high cortisol levels cause us to store belly fat (2) and are linked to lower muscle mass and bone density (3). Consuming excess cortisol is definitely not going to help us lower our stress levels, and no one needs more stress in their lives. Our tip to you: While dairy-laden meals have been shown to increase cortisol, research shows that barley soup and vegetable stir-frys with rice can lower levels of this high stress hormone (4).

Psychosom Med. 1999; 61(2):214-24. INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR-1 Milk naturally contains a hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a growth stimulating hormone. The whey protein naturally present in milk further stimulates our body’s production of IGF-1 by a pathway called mTOR, further increasing our circulating levels of this hormone (1). Consuming cows’ milk leads to a 10–20% increase of circulating IGF‐1 in adults, and to a 20–30% increase in children (3). We need IGF-1 is involved in the maturation and differentiation of many cells and organs; in other words, it is vital for growth and development. However, excess IGF-1 from consumption of cows’ milk can interfere with these processes and has been associated with accelerated linear growth, altered fetal development, atherosclerosis, weight gain, acne, autoimmunity, and even neurodegenerative diseases (3). Additionally, IGF-1 receptors are present on most cancer cells. Excess IGF-1 can bind to these receptors and stimulate cancer cells to grow more quickly (2). This may explain why IGF-1 has been linked to breast, cervical, ovarian, endo‐metrial, colorectal and prostate cancers (2,3). Our tip to you: IGF-1 is a goldilocks hormone whereby you don’t want too much, and you don’t want too little. Exercise and, in particular, strength training is a great way to naturally boost your IGF-1 levels without causing excess. Removing dairy products is a simple and effective way to control IGF-1 and reduce your risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and acne.

Cardiovascular Health and Inflammation Years of research has told us that consuming foods high in saturated fats, like dairy products, can be detrimental to our cardiovascular health. Most recently, a 2018 study published in Laboratory Investigation not only found changes in size and shape of red blood cells just one hour after consuming a high-fat milkshake, but also changed in our immune cell function, setting the stage for inflammation, plaque formation and ultimately heart disease (1). Not only do dairy foods contain a significant amount of saturated fat, but also more than 2% of dairy’s calories come from trans fats (2), a substance deemed as the most harmful fat in our food supply by the Institute of Medicine (3). So harmful, in fact, that there is no upper limit of these fats since any trans-fats increases risk of Cardiovascular Heart Disease. Trans fats cripple arteries, cutting blood flow to our muscles and promoting inflammation and heart disease (4). Finally, cows’ milk contains proteins (5) and other foreign components, including sugars such as Neu5gc (6), that many people’s bodies do not recognize, initiating an immune response and promoting further inflammation. (7) Our tip to you: While the dairy industry is adamant about promoting chocolate milk as a recovery beverage, this sugary drink is far from a health food. Antioxidant-rich foods are a far better alternative, as antioxidants stimulate cardiovascular health, athletic performance, and a speedy recovery by combattin damage done to your cells during your workout. And those are found in plant sources, not dairy food. So, eat more berries instead of dairy! Berries boost artery function and soothe inflammation (8). This will help you perform better and recover faster. References 1.. 2. USDA: Fat and Fatty Acid Content of Selected Foods Containing Trans-Fatty Acids. 3.

Type 2 Diabetes Research has found that whey protein from cows’ milk to be highly insulinotropic, despite having a low-glycemic index (1). Simply put, dairy products, including full-fat milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, and ice cream cause our bodies to produce large amounts of insulin, which works against type 2 diabetes prevention (1). In fact, drinking a cup of milk with other low-glycemic index foods was found to increase insulin production by an astounding 300% (1). Furthermore, 8-year-old boys who were given skim milk for just one week more than doubled their insulin production (1). Due to the insulinotropic properties of cows’ milk, consuming this material past weaning causes our bodies to maintain higher than normal levels of the growth stimulating hormone, Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) (2). High levels of this hormone constantly stimulate the proliferation of pancreatic cells, which produce insulin. This overstimulation produces excess insulin, damages the cells, and eventually leads to cell death (2). Ultimately, when our bodies aren’t utilizing insulin properly, blood sugar levels remains high, resulting in hyperglycemia, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes (3). Our tip to you: Both observational and interventional studies show that a low-fat, plant-based nutritional approach to diet can improve weight control and blood sugar levels (4). Plant foods are perfect for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes. Click here for some mouth-watering dairy-free and plant based recipes! References 1. Melnik BC.
