Drug abundance retailers accommodating to advance in a private-brand attack that will allure new barter accept a lot to consider. Their action charge accommodate aggregate from what a biologic abundance absolutely is to whether there is added allowance for addition in the amount bloom and adorableness allotment of their business, or in aliment and cooler at the advanced of the store.
Let's face it this is an omnichannel retail world, breadth biologic aliment and supermarkets attending actual abundant alike. Shoppers can buy air-conditioned foods at the biologic store, and they can ample their prescriptions at the supermarket. However, the private-brand strategies for both are not interchangeable.
"Food bartering and biologic abundance bartering are two absolutely altered channels, and it is adamantine to brainstorm what a high-end biologic abundance would action that a low-end biologic abundance would not," Clandestine Characterization Manufacturers Association admiral Brian Sharoff said. "There are categories that ability acquiesce for high-end, low-end differentiation, such as cosmetics, but for best of the health-and-wellness categories, the array would not change."
And therein lies one of the axiological differences amid the bazaar mural in the United States and the biologic abundance scenario. There are dozens of bazaar chains, and best are regional. There are three above biologic abundance chains — CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid — and their ability is national.
One way bazaar chains use private-label articles is to advice authorize identities to abstracted themselves from agnate stores. Wegmans and Trader Joe's, for example, are advised to be added high-end or upscale, while Aldi and Lidl are ultra discounters and Accomplished Foods Bazaar takes its appearance in a altered administration by calling itself "America's healthiest grocery store."
The biologic abundance chains don't charge to anguish about that affectionate of adverse because there are so few of them. Through consolidation, the above players alone the little guys years ago.
"Once you get to that affectionate of industry concentration, it's not about differentiation, it's about appraisement power," said Hart E. Posen, an accessory assistant of administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Business. "With two or three big competitors assertive the industry, it's not about animosity because one aing knows that if they lower prices, the added aing will accept to lower prices. If one aing invests in abundant differentiation, again the added aing will — and no one will necessarily be bigger off."
Posen, an able in accumulated strategy, addition and entrepreneurship, who becoming his doctorate at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, said he sees parallels in the consolidations the biologic abundance and airline industries accept gone through. He acicular out that all the things the biologic abundance industry has done to annihilate abate biologic abundance rivals has been baffled by the actualization of new players in the pharmacy amphitheatre — big-box aliment like Walmart, big grocery aliment like Kroger, pharmacy anniversary managers like Express Scripts and online arcade behemoth Amazon.
"That is why creating a array of acumen in their offerings is important," Posen said of the biologic abundance chains. "Why should I go into the Walgreens, which is two blocks from my house, rather than the Target abundance three blocks from my house? Creating that acumen is important, but beneath so because of CVS against Walgreens, and added so because of CVS and Walgreens against the Walmarts and others."
Through that lens, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens and Rite Aid allotment the ambition of adorable shoppers to appear to their aliment instead of demography their business to a adjacent big-box or big grocery store, or affairs pharmaceuticals online. The appropriate private-label action charge booty into anniversary all of a biologic store's competitors, not aloof the battling biologic abundance about the corner, and it charge crop a high-quality artefact that is both altered and of abundant amount to the consumer.
Traditionally, private-label articles are beneath big-ticket than their brand-name counterparts, and they accommodate a greater accumulation allowance to the retailer. Sharoff said that the biologic chains accept been actual advancing in creating and business their own over-the-counter products, from cough-cold medications and dental accessory to antacids — all with compare-and-save strategies that claiming the civic brands at the shelf.
The question, though, is this: Are those private-label articles abundant to accompany barter into the biologic store?
Bill Bishop, arch artist and co-founder of Brick Meets Click, a retail advising website, acicular out that clandestine characterization has acquired into two types — acceptable and new generation.
He authentic acceptable as "a characterization that acutely carries the retailer's name, which purports to be as acceptable as the brand, but absolutely is never absolutely as acceptable — but it's close. I anticipate the biologic abundance business is still actual abundant in the acceptable private-label area," he said.
Bishop sees new bearing clandestine characterization as an addition — article new that resonates with the public. As an example, he acicular to how the Aldi bazaar alternation brought foods with "clean labels" — articles that independent annihilation bogus — to the market.
"No one abroad in the private-label areas had apple-pie labels, so actuality they are bringing articles that are altered and on trend," Bishop said. "You appetite to be altered by actuality added on trend with what bodies are adorable for. What are the broader things bodies are adorable for? Some bodies are adorable for apple-pie labels. Some bodies are adorable for approved convenience. Some bodies are adorable for bigger allocation control. You've got to affectionate of anticipate what the trend is. New things that are on trend is the analogue of innovation."
Innovation is alone one aspect of new bearing clandestine label. Bishop said the additional aspect is unquestioned, constant affection — no about-face allowed. The third aspect is that the artefact charge accommodate the customer with abundant amount — a aggregate of aerial affection and adorable price.
Bishop said the final aspect of new bearing clandestine characterization deals with the retailer: There charge be an advance in the product, which not alone includes the money bare for abstraction and development, but additionally the alertness to booty a accident and do the all-important marketing.
Sharoff said that PLMA's anniversary barter show, which has been about for added than 30 years, can advice retailers absorbed in addition and development. They can audit the latest products, accommodated the best accomplished suppliers and appear abroad with cutting-edge ideas.
What affectionate of cutting-edge abstraction should the biologic banker about-face into a new and altered product? Conceivably an addition in cosmetics would bell with the accessible abundant to accreditation the amount and accident of artefact development. Of course, today's biologic aliment backpack aliment and beverages, too. Maybe there would be allowance for addition there, alike admitting it isn't the store's amount component.
"That's absolutely the key catechism in this accomplished thing, right?" said John Stanton, a assistant of aliment business at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "It has to do with how developed the pharmacy is in agreement of their biologic articles and makeup. Accept they gone about as far as they can in agreement of authoritative these departments as able as possible?"
To allegorize his point, Stanton gave the archetype of a pharmacy that agitated bristles altered brands of aspirin. Should it add a private-label sixth cast — giving it around every aspirin on the market? Or should the banker use its amplitude in a altered way, conceivably on a new aliment product. Which addition would be best acceptable to drive cogent sales growth?
While assiduity a store's bloom and adorableness accumulating with a y, private-label corrective ability assume logical, Bishop and Stanton acicular out the pitfalls of that strategy.
"There's a assertive claimed appearance to them," Bishop said of bloom and adorableness products. "No amount how acceptable a new toothpaste is, I'm not abiding I'm affective on from my Colgate. I accept acclimated Mennen abrasive for 30 years. I'm not abiding what's activity to move me from that."As for cosmetics, Stanton said a new clandestine cast ability not address to abounding women and credibility to a private-label corrective by Costco that has been discontinued. He believes the bigger access would be to try to argue a name-brand architect to actualize a altered artefact for the biologic alternation that includes the manufacturer's name, such as Revlon's "It's Terrific."
Though abounding experts said aliment is an breadth of complete private-label befalling in the biologic channel, David Rogers, admiral of DSR Business Systems in Northbrook, Ill., which offers adviser casework to retail clients, is not so bullish.
"The adventure of biologic aliment affairs added and added aliment is fallacious," he said. "They are not accomplishing a acceptable job up front. In fact, their allotment of sales with pharmacy goes up every year. They are ashore at 1.5 % bazaar allotment of the grocery market. They should be absorption their private-label efforts on bloom characteristics, whether it's bloom and beauty, cosmetics, OTC drugs. In abounding respects, they are a changeable accessibility store."
While he doesn't see biologic aliment authoritative any advance with food, Rogers accustomed that a abeyant for advance exists — if a biologic abundance would advance in developing the appropriate product. He believes biologic aliment could do able-bodied with grab-and-go commons and able foods, if the affection of their articles was better.
The abstraction of a biologic abundance actuality a accessibility abundance additionally is an important one to consider. Rogers said. It's a affect that Posen shared, acquainted that biologic abundance retailers charge apprehend that their aliment additionally are accessibility stores, and they would do able-bodied to see that as an advantage and accomplishment it.
"Walgreens and CVS accept a agglomeration of actual acceptable high-traffic locations — either high-foot cartage in the big, burghal markets or high-auto cartage — and acceptable locations," Posen said. "They accept to accomplish the complete best use of that amplitude because that's what they accept against Target or Walmart. They accept convenience. They're close. They're accessible to get to, and they're fast to get in and out of."
The question, he said, is: "How do we advantage the amplitude for those who are adorable for quick and accessible — not parking a continued way from the aperture and walking through a behemothic store?"
The banker who auspiciously answers that catechism is acceptable to put their aliment a footfall advanced in the chase for new customers.

This time of the school year, many teachers who have been on a slow simmer enjoy a spring respite from the stress of work, but return after break to the path towards burnout. Nathan Eklund discusses the realities of burnout in this #TBT post from February 2013.
I had a great time on Monday speaking to 700 educators here in the great state of Minnesota during a full day, multi-district event. Seven schools districts came together to work, learn, commune, and, hopefully, have some fun as well.
The morning kicked off with my hour long keynote. When the conference organizing team and I were planning this, they decided they wanted me to discuss the topic of burnout. I was all over that. But as the day neared, I realized that speaking to an audience about burnout might also be like talking about getting a filling, taxes, or blood borne pathogens (teacher joke). "Burnout" just sounds depressing. But frankly, I couldn't disagree more. Being mindful about burnout is actually one of the most empowering, behavior changing topics we could possibly discuss.
Here's how I can defend that statement. The picture at the top of this post is the first slide from my presentation. And to a large degree, it represents what I was POUNDING into people's ears during the day. Oftentimes, take a passive approach to burnout. We think things like, "I hope I don't burnout." Or, "If I ever burnout, that would stink." This language misses the mark entirely.
Burnout isn't lurking out there waiting to pounce on you. It's not like catching a cold. Burnout doesn't "happen" to people anymore than cavities do. Cavities happen when you eat a lot of sugar, skip brushing and flossing, and generally disregard your teeth. Cavities don't happen. You have to be a willing bedfellow to that sort of affair.
The same holds true for burnout. Burnout is not caused by anything but inactivity and inattentiveness. Take care of yourself and you won't burn out. It's kind of that simple.
Here's the definition of burnout:
A state of exhaustion that results from working too intensely and without concern from one's own needs.
Check that out. It's not something scary hiding underneath your bed. It's nothing that's going to jump out and surprise you. That means you won't wake up some morning and say, "Damn! I burned out!" Burning out is a long, slow process that you're a partner in. Let me simplify it even further:
If you're working too intensely without taking care of yourself, you ARE burning out.
It's not a question of "will" you burn out. You will. I don't care how awesome you think you are. I don't care how passionate you are. I don't care how much you love taking care of others. You are not a cyborg! You are a human being. And inattentive human beings burn out. And let me push this a bit further. I don't find it heroic to flirt with burnout. I find it ridiculous and sad. Martyrdom is cool in the movies. But not so cool in real life.
If you love what you do and you want to keep doing it, then you're doing yourself and your people no favors by treating what you do so dangerously. If you don't take care of yourself, you won't get to do what you do anymore. And that's too bad. I feel bad that there are those among us who will deny the universe what makes us special simply because we didn't treat what makes us special more specially. (Make sense?)
I ended my address to the audience by saying (actually yelling) at them, "YOU WON'T BURN OUT!" And it's true. If you don't let it happen, it won't. But if you don't pay really careful attention and ask for help from those around you, you inevitably will. So I'm here to tell you that you're in control of this far more than we sometimes realize. If you're burning out, you can reverse it. You can prioritize yourself in such a manner where you allow yourself to continue to be awesome at what you do and who you are. You can make that choice. Or not. But if you don't prioritize yourself, do not wake up burned out someday and wonder what happened. Nothing "happened" to you. You just weren't paying good enough attention.
Pay attention. The world needs you.

Blog photography: Props
About a month ago i did a post on taking blog photography when you don't have a camera, since then its become my most "engaged with" post. Its not my most read post but every time i tweet a link to it i receive several replies; i'm so happy with how many people its helped but it has sparked a lot of questions about blog props in my mentions. So i thought i'd dedicate a whole post to adding props to your blog photography!
Props add so much to your pictures, while they help to make your photos more interesting they also make them applicable to current trends – adding props in styles and colours that are currently on trend put your photos on another level.
If we're talking instagram the current trends are copper/rose gold and marble. Say if you're photographing a product that isn't necessarily new, adding props which are on trend make that photo exciting and attractive to an audience which are receptive to changing trends.
Props and trends really do go hand and hand just like trends in how we edit photos, back in the day everyone used to filter photos using harsh instagram filters making everything seem a little bit orange or blue or "vintage". A photo using filters like that would most definitely get more likes than others but a photo edited like that now really wouldn't – because that style isn't in anymore.
These are some of my favourite "on trend" props, adding these to pictures makes the photo instantly more attractive and keeps your blog up to date.
Copper basket Amazon/ Copper tray sass and belle/ Copper fairy lights Amazon/ Phone case Pinku/ Alexa chung "IT"/ Candle unknown.
Trends aside props are important to lift your image away from just being a picture of a lipstick, especially if you're just photographing one product. Some of my favourite props to use in photos are ones that most people have laying around in their home, so don't think you have to spend a fortune!
A prop can literally be anything but if you're stuck for ideas consider:
Candles, trays, flowers, jewellery, books, magazines, lights, watches, your phone or your laptop!
Here i've used some of the props above, although the focus of the picture is still on the product the props make the photo much more interesting than if it was just a picture of the product alone.
When photographing one product the best prop will probably be the box, i've seen flatlays which look like they contain a load of products but when looking closely it isn't near as many as you think because they've included all the packaging!
When choosing props also think about what you're photographing:
Try matching props to a colour scheme or choose props relating to what the post is about, its not always possible but as an example i did a post on liquid lipsticks and used a charlotte tilbury sticker with a pair of lips on it as a prop.
Here i matched the colour scheme of pink, gold and black and tried to match up the lips with the theme of the post.
Again i tried to match the colour scheme, the green in the scrub with the leaves, the black tray with the black lids on each product and the white candles with the white on each label.
How do you use props to enhance your photos? – Maria x

Bailout Money Goes Missing
Without Representation, Without Accountability
After receiving billions in aid from U.S. taxpayers, the nation's largest banks say they can't track exactly how they're spending the money or they simply refuse to discuss it.
"We've lent some of it. We've not lent some of it. We've not given any accounting of, 'Here's how we're doing it,'" said Thomas Kelly, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, which received $25 billion in emergency bailout money. "We have not disclosed that to the public. We're declining to."
The Associated Press contacted 21 banks that received at least $1 billion in government money and asked four questions: How much has been spent? What was it spent on? How much is being held in savings, and what's the plan for the rest?
None of the banks provided specific answers.
And you know what? They don't have to provide answers. When the TARP bailout plan was passed it included "transparency and accountability" for the "troubled assets" Treasury would purchase. But Treasury didn't purchase any "troubled assests".
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson changed the plan suddenly and instead started handing out billions to banks that were not all that troubled, asking them to start lending it out to consumers and businesses. So much for accountability. Angry yet?

It's a little hard to write a cooking column when you don't have a kitchen (mine has been in renovation for five months). But it's even harder for someone like me, who loves to cook, to go without cooking very much.
So for Valentine's Day, I borrowed a kitchen. Avocado toast (about all I can make right now) simply wasn't cutting it. I made one of my favorite pasta dishes, which is what I can loosely describe as fancy comfort food.
This is kind of like shrimp scampi, but rather than tons of butter, I use pasta water and cheese to richen the flavor without making it too greasy. Most of the instructions to cooking this are easy, but you should branch out and cook the pasta the way I suggest. It makes the noodles incredibly flavorful. Make this next time you crave cooking and want to impress someone with something you can pull together pretty quickly. Also, if you use clarified butter, you don't need to worry about it burning. Serve it with Persephone bread and some good wine.
- 1/3 cup clarified butter
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely diced
- 1 pound of linguini

Some of the FB comments on the video are equally disconcerting. Empathy is one thing we need much, much more of. And that's not just my opinion. David Orr says this:
The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it. (Orr, 2005:96)
According to Daniel H. Pink, emphathy is one of the key qualities we need to make this happen. Without empathy we are likely to have more wars, more racial discrimination and atrocities, more of the things that we really don't want. I recommend those young men concerned start using the right side of their brain instead of aligning themselves to the far right of politics.

PSINet, Cable & Wireless spat causes Net disconnect
- 08 June, 2001 08:02
Internet traffic between the networks of Internet service provider PSINet Inc. and carrier Cable & Wireless PLC (C&W) came to screeching halt for four days in the past week after the two companies could not come to an agreement on a "peering" contract.
Although the companies wouldn't comment on the specific effect the service disruption had, it's likely that it caused problems in terms of accessing e-mail and reaching Web sites for some users.
C&W switched off its connection with PSINet on June 2 and did not flip it back on until June 5 when PSINet agreed to meet the requirements of its peering agreement, said C&W spokesman Chad Couser. A peering agreement is a common traffic-exchange arrangement between ISPs whereby one provider agrees to allow traffic on its backbone in exchange for being allowed to send traffic on the other ISP's backbone.
A statement that was posted on PSINet's "Our Network" Web site until Wednesday said the Ashburn, Virginia-based company was able to reroute about 90 percent of its customers traffic through free peering from other ISPs to reach the C&W network. A PSINet spokesman would not comment on the situation and referred to the Web page.
According to C&W, PSINet was sending too little traffic into the C&W network, and thus failing to meet the peering agreement between the two companies, Couser said. In February, C&W began talks with PSINet about the obligations of the peering policy. A month later, C&W notified PSINet in a letter that it was failing to meet the traffic demands.
"When the (arrangement) gets out of whack, it is the equivalent of getting free Internet (service)," Couser said.
C&W sought to work with PSINet on the agreement and suggested PSINet could resolve the issue by purchasing transit on C&W's backbone or from someone else, Couser said. PSINet refused to do it and C&W cut the connection on June 2, he said.
On June 5, PSINet came back to C&W and said it would agree to meet the requirements of the peering policy, Couser said. C&W has given PSINet 60 days to meet the demands of the peering arrangement. PSINet spokesman Eric McErlain said the company was not disclosing how it would meet the obligations of the peering agreement.
PSINet just last week filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Well, Battlefront 2 released last night for those with preorders. Wow, what a disaster. From loot boxes focused around driving microtransactions to limits on how many credits you can earn in a set amount of time in Arcade mode. What. A. Disaster.
To be honest, it shouldn't be that surprising coming from the publisher of the most expensive game series ever, The Sims 3. You know, that game where you have to invest $75,000 to buy everything. The team who published that shouldn't be able to surprise us so easily. But damn, EA really went full microtransaction this time. All in the name of profit.
I'm really not one to bash companies or throw hate around, but EA seriously deserves a lot of backlash for the sad state of Battlefront 2. I'm not saying that random employees deserve death threats, but the company as a whole deserves the backlash. The individual devs were just doing their jobs, and they did an amazing job on the actual game itself. It's the board of suits who make these kinds of decisions that we're all so up in arms about.
Don't attack the devs. They aren't to blame here. It's the publisher who makes these decisions, but still not at the individual level. There's really no single person making these decisions, it's generally a group who make a choice based on numbers they're presented. The developers just build the game they're told to.
I'm not joking, the actual gameplay is great. The graphics are amazing and performance is also great. The issue isn't with Battlefront 2 itself, but with the money-making decisions that were implemented by EA to ultimately ruin it.
For instance, having a cap put on how many credits you can earn in arcade mode. You can only earn 500 credits every 2 hours, that's it. It doesn't matter if you play more, you just waste time and get nothing. This is a prime example of GREED. Seriously, EA? 500 credits every 2 hours? Outside of trying to force people into playing for longer/spending money, what's the reasoning here?
Then you have the insanely low level of credits you can earn per match. I think the upper-threshold without considering challenges is around 400 assuming it's a long map and goes the distance. If it ends in the first round you might end up with more like 150 credits. Pathetic.
Credits for finishing the campaign were also cut back by 75%. Instead of receiving 20000 credits for completing the campaign, now you get 5000.
The kicker is how EA addressed these shenanigans by saying they're trying to give us a "sense of pride and accomplishment". Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not spending $60-$100 to grind my way into a false sense of "pride and accomplishment". Nope, I'm spending $60-$100 for a few hours of exciting, unbridled entertainment. Instead, we're given a clusterf*** of bullshittery that tries to force you into buying your false sense of "pride and accomplishment". Nope. Not for me.
These are just a couple of points that have seriously ticked me off. I'm a gamer like most of you are, I love playing good games and Battlefront 2 WAS a good game…. Before EA decided to completely ruin it with terrible user experience choices to generate more revenue. At this stage, I feel bad for DICE. They clearly put a lot of hard work into building what should have been an incredible game, just to have it ruined by a terrible publisher.

My first foray into cooking with oxtails came just a couple of weeks ago when I adapted for my handy-dandy pressure cooker a recipe from the New York Times by David Chang, the famously meat-adoring chef of the Momofuku mini-empire. His (actually, his mother's) Korean-style soup, hearty with chunks of daikon, was an unqualified winner, and I decided to give oxtails another go this past weekend.
This time around, I played fast-and-loose with the ingredients and ended up with quite a different soup altogether. Not better, not worse (I don't think), just different. I flavored the broth with ginger and star anise and brought fresh shiitake and tofu to the party. I don't know what it is at this point—I mean, I don't think you could call it Korean anymore—but even if it is sort of a pan-Asian mish-mash of flavors, it did hit the spot. Oxtails make a lovely rich broth, and this soup is thick with mushrooms and jiggly squares of tofu. Put it on the menu when you're hankering for a real belly-warmer. Serve with rice, or cook up some rice noodles to go in each serving.
1 oxtail, cut up (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 large onion, quartered
1/2 pound fresh cleaned shiitake, stems separated and caps sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 slices ginger (about 1/4-inch thick)
1 whole star anise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tub regular tofu (about 1 pound), drained and cut into small cubes
Salt and pepper
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Chopped scallions for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place onions, shiitake stems, and oxtails in a roasting pan. Coat them lightly with oil; generously salt and pepper oxtails. Roast until oxtails are nice and browned about 40 minutes. Place oxtails, onions, and shiitake in a pressure cooker with garlic, star anise, and ginger. Add seven cups cold water. Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes, then use natural release method to release pressure. Remove oxtails, set aside to cool. Strain broth. Bring broth to simmer, season with soy sauce, salt to taste, and plenty of black pepper. Add mushrooms, cook until tender, about fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, remove meat from bones. When mushrooms are done, add tofu and meat, simmer another couple minutes to heat through. Garnish each serving with cilantro and scallions.

Medlar are hard and acidic, but become edible after being softened by frost, or naturally in storage given sufficient time. Once softening begins, the skin rapidly takes on a wrinkled texture and turns dark brown, and the inside reduces to the consistency and flavour reminiscent of apple sauce.
In selecting passion fruit for eating, choose those that are plump and ripe, and heavy for their size, as this indicates juiciness. Do not be put off at the sight of slightly wrinkled skin, since these are actually the sweetest. When kept in room temperature, passion fruits should be eaten within a couple of days.

Kumquats have a very silly name, and a very silly growing habit.

Quinces are very peculiar, as they are similar to Persimmons in that they must be frozen and then thawed before becoming edible.

This is still true today, as adding quince to preserves or even cheese is said to enhance its flavor!

Boris from Hungary is one of the most respected tattoo artists across the globe. Much like Mario Barth (the creator of Intenze Ink). Boris learned that he could not find tatttoo ink to keep up with the advanced work he was tearing through. Therefore, he had to create his own colour series out of necessity and the shade Flower Child takes part of it. This is a signature series of colour tattoo inks that came up with Intenze as collaborator.

The mission of Energy Grade is to provide outdoor enthusiasts with an alternative and better solution to the present problem of not having electrical energy while in the great outdoors. We strive to no longer have stranded backpackers unable to signal for help due to a lack of cell phone power. Additionally, lost hikers unable to find their way home because of dead GPS units will be a thing of the past. We will also aim to eliminate the devastating feeling of not being able to take the "perfect picture" on top of a 10,000ft mountain because your camera or cell phone battery has run dry. Life's a rocky journey. Energy Grade's here to help you climb those rocks.
Electrical power is a little bit like the air you breathe! It's seemingly always there and isn't really thought about until it's missing. Most people are used to electricity being available wherever they go. The lack of electrical energy in the great outdoors is a problem for hikers and backpackers using portable electronic devices (i.e. cell phones, GPS devices) over long periods of time, because these devices are constantly consuming power.
The NV Power Pole was created by Energy Grade to access electricity while away from a power grid. It is a portable, lightweight, energy generating device that hikers and backpackers alike can carry with them on a routine basis. A charging system will be integrated into the body of a hiking pole to capture the pole's dissipated (and usually wasted) kinetic energy, and convert it into electrical energy. To accomplish this conversion from kinetic to electrical energy, a Faraday Inductive Generator was used in the NV Power Pole. The generator is mounted in the handle and upper body of the pole. As the pole strikes the ground, linear movement of the magnet between a series of coils produces an AC Voltage that is then manipulated by a circuit to charge the on-board battery.
How it Works
1. The oscillatory motion of hiking is where the whole process begins for the NV Power Pole. The magnet assembly with springs attached at either end of a Lexan tube was built into the body of the pole. The springs were chosen based on the mass of the magnets so that the frequency at which a person hikes causes the magnet to oscillate at resonance. A series of copper coils wraps around this Lexan tube above the magnet's rest position. The movement of the magnets through these coils produces a voltage.
2. The voltage is produced from the magnet-spring, coil assembly inside the NV Power Pole. This voltage resembles an AC sinusoidal signal. To charge the on-board battery, the signal must be converted into a smooth DC signal.
3. A four diode rectifying bridge is connected to the ends of the copper coils. This takes the AC signal, which oscillates from negative and positive voltages, and outputs a purely positive signal. Or in other words, the diode bridge rectifies the signal from AC to pulsed DC.
4. The voltage signal after being converted into pulsed DC from the diode bridge. While the signal is now purely positive, the on-board battery still requires a smoother input to properly charge.
5. To smooth out the DC pulse output from the diode bride, capacitors are placed across the negative and positive terminals of the rectifying circuit. These capacitors are used to stabilize the changing voltage signal, providing a DC-like voltage that can be used to charge the battery.
6. The final output voltage from the generator after being manipulated by the diode bridge and smoothed out with capacitors. This is the input voltage for the battery charging circuit.
7. The charging circuit provided with the DC voltage signal. This circuit takes the input and safely charges the on-board battery at a rate of 100mA. The Minty Boost (a portable USB charging circuit) is also wired to this on-board battery, awaiting an electronic device to be connected via the USB port located at the top of the handle of the NV Power Pole.
8. The on-board battery can now recharge your mobile device. The amount of energy available is proportional to the time spent hiking with the NV Power Pole.
Faraday Inductive Generator
To accomplish the task of generating electrical energy from the NV Power Pole, a Faraday Inductive Generator was constructed to fit in the upper portion of the the hiking pole. The concept of the Inductive Generator, based on Faraday's Law of Induction published by Michael Faraday in 1831, states that "the magnitude of EMF induced in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux that cuts across the circuit." The generator is made up of a series of coil windings forming a path that allows a magnet to cycle through the coils. The motion of the magnet provides a varying magnetic field within the system that induces an electromotive force in the coils that in turn allows electrical energy to be harvested from the ends of the coil arrangement.
The most important variable considered by Energy Grade when designing the Faraday Inductive Generator was the time that it took the magnet to pass through the copper coils. Knowing that a high velocity of the magnet is required to increase the output voltage, a spring-mass system was used to move the magnet through the copper coils. The spring-mass system is designed to resonate at an input frequency that is most often experienced by the system, that being the approximate frequency at which a person hikes (1-2Hz). Two springs run lengthwise in the body of the pole connected to opposite sides of the magnet.
The voltage output by the Faraday Inductive Generator will not only be directly related to the velocity of the passing magnets (as stated earlier), but also the strength of the magnets, cross-sectional area of the coils they run through, and the number of coil windings.

Charging System
A USB/DC Lithium/Polymer battery charger was used to transfer the energy generated by the Faraday Inductive Generator to the system's on board battery. The charger will require a minimum of 100mA and a voltage from 5-12V.
An additional circuit board called the Minty Boost, was used to transfer energy from the on board battery to portable electronic devices.
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 cable will be used to transfer the generated electrical energy because it is the industry standard for charging many electronic devices. The USB has a constant transfer rate of 500mA at 5V and is capable of handling 2.5W. The 500mA rating of the USB 2.0 allows the average smart phone with a 1500mAh battery to be fully charged in approximately 3 hours. Therefore, the power generated by the pole on an 8 hour hike should average approximately 0.35W (ideally).
Handle and Connector Assembly
Handle Body: The body of the handle has been made hollow to allow all of the systems electrical components to conveniently fit inside. The top of the handle has two USB ports for charging electronic devices and the internal battery of the pole.
Handle Connector: This is the part connecting the handle and the generator section of the NV Power Pole.
Bottom Connector: This is the connector used between the generator and the lower, adjustable half of the pole.
Electrical Assembly
The NV Power Pole contains four main electrical components: Diode Rectifier, Battery Charger, Battery Pack, and Minty Boost.
Diode Rectifier: This electronic rectifier converts AC voltage input created by the generator, to DC voltage output that can be used to charge electronic devices. The generator produces a pulse voltage signal, thus in order to maintain a higher RMS Voltage signal to the charging circuit, capacitors were added to the circuit following the rectifier.
Battery Charger: A charging circuit board made by Adafruit Industries was selected to transfer energy to and from the battery. The charger accepts a voltage between 5 and 12 Volts and can charge a battery at a rate between 100 and 1200mA. Also the circuit board allows the user to charge the internal battery of the pole with an external power supply such as an outlet or charging device via USB connection.
Battery: A 1300mAh 3.7V Lithium Polymer battery is used to store the harvested energy. The Lithium Polymer battery was selected because of its high energy density and minimal loss of energy between charging and discharging cycles. When compared to other batteries, Lipo batteries are usually more compact and lightweight.
Minty Boost: A portable electronic charging circuit made by Adafruit Industries was selected to discharge energy from the internal battery. This small circuit board provides the ability to charge electronic devices via USB connection. The device is set to provide a constant 500mA at 5V which can be used for most modern electronic devices.
Magnet Assembly
A series of cylindrical magnets and low friction Delrin washers are placed over a 1/8 inch length of all-thread. The assembly is secured over the rod by custom made brass nuts with attachment points for a tension spring on either end.
Generator Assembly
A Faraday Inductive Generator is used to harvest kinetic energy provided by the user to the NV Power Pole. The generator assembly is comprised of a magnet assembly oscillating through a polycarbonate tube. The magnet assembly is suspended in the center of the tube by a spring mounted on either end. Energy is generated when the magnet passes through the copper coils on the outside of the tube. The motion of the magnet is a result of the user's hiking motion input to the pole.
Lower Assembly
The hiking pole is adjustable for a variety of users ranging from five to six feet tall. The pole can also be folded in half for easy storage via a bungee cord placed between the lower half of the pole and the lower connector.
Testing and Results
Testing: Hiking with the NV Power Pole was simulated by attaching the upper body of the pole to a shake table. It was then supplied with a linear displacement at a rate equal to the generator's natural frequency. A series of discharged battery packs were provided with power from the generator over different lengths of time. These batteries were then used to charge a phone; its initial and final battery percentages after charging were compared.
Results: The theoretical charging rate was based on the assumption that the batteries were supplied with the charging circuits rating of 100mA. The batteries were charged by a pulse signal because the generator was not capable of outputting energy at a rate high enough to constantly run the charging circuit. The output was 100mA for approximately 25% of the operating time.
Energy Grade was formed by a group of friends in a Mechanical Engineering senior design class at the University of Nevada, Reno. Each student came from a diverse background with different life experiences that taught each of them how to think ingeniously. Additionally, the importance of renewable energy and love of the great outdoors was a common driving factor between the five students. These commonalities lead to the creation of Energy Grade's first product, the NV Power Pole.

Russian Rainbow gathering in Karelia
We started our Russian tourney with a Rainbow gathering in Karelia, near Sortavala. The area used to belong to Finland before World War II. Neither of us had visited it before so we were eager to see why so many Finns still would like to get it back, and was it really worth of killing over one million Finnish and Russian soldiers. Neither had we participated in a Rainbow Camps before so we had a great adventure ahead.

Hedge Connect is the iOS companion app to Hedge. It allows you to receive live notifications about the state of your offloads when working on set. Hedge Connect works with both the free and premium version of Hedge for Mac.
Hedge Connect has been specially developed for movie and video producers who offload at the same time as they are shooting. When you're running your offloads somewhere near but not on the set, you won't always be able to see when media becomes free again for use. That means you have to guess when they'll be finished, which can lead to time loss.
Hedge Connect should put an end to the guessing. It runs on iPhones and iPads and works with Hedge for Mac 1.5 and later only. That's because it syncs with the latest versions of the desktop application to tell you if your offload processes have finished running and whether they have been successful. The iPhone or iPad app will pop up an icon in real time when a transfer has finished successfully — or when something has gone awry.
The connection between Hedge Connect and Hedge on the Mac is secure. You only need to enter an access code in the iOS app that you'll find in Hedge for Mac's Preference panel. Hedge Connect supports multiple connections out of the box. You can connect as many iOS devices as you want. To rule out eavesdropping, several security measures have been built-in. For example, you can only connect when the macOS Connect Preference panel is active. Reset on quit is on by default, but you can change the setting, which makes life easier. If you leave the setting at its default, you will need to log into Hedge for Mac with each new session.
That's not a problem and it doesn't take much time at all, but if you forget it you may get confused by Hedge Connect not warning you of the connection gone lost. When you restart the iOS app after having quit it, the previous connection is still active — or so it seems. You will need to go into the iOS version's preference panel, select the option to disconnect the app and then reconnect. I think this should be made more obvious, e.g. a pop-up that warns you the connection is still active on the iOS side. An automatic disconnect feature that you can optionally turn off would be even better.
The app starts as an empty space. When an offload finishes, you suddenly see the media icon for the finished offload appear with a message of success or failure. These messages can be deleted by a swipe. For now, Hedge Connect only shows you when offloads are ready or have failed. Progress isn't shown, but that may change in the future.
When using the current version of Hedge Connect you can't but think there's potential that begs to be explored. And it seems the developers are aware of it. "Right now, Hedge Connect can only interact through push notifications. Convenient as this may be, we of course would like to give you a live feed of Hedge's status and maybe even some kind of remote control," said Paul-Matthijs Lombert, SyncFactory's CEO. In view of how quickly Hedge for Mac gained new functionality after it was released, that sounds like Hedge Connect could soon be turned into the remote part of a complete offloading system that should make many people's lives much more comfortable.
Hedge Connect is currently available for iOS, and works fine on both iPhones and iPads. It costs about £8.50.

Speaking life into depression
This is Katie's second post in a two-part series she started in August about suffering depression while serving in missions. We received such enthusiasm for the post that she's returned to write a follow-up.
You are the game-changer.
The X factor.
The secret weapon, as it were.
Did you know that?
In a person's struggle with depression and its cousin, anxiety, a key component to health and recovery is that person's relationships with friends and family. Counseling, medication, a change in circumstances, and other outside factors certainly have their place, but often, a person needs a friend to help them take that first step of seeking outside help.
Depression is a slippery enemy, made more dangerous by the simple fact that its root cause and control is fueled by lies. These can take a philosophical bent ("I have no hope/future. No one truly loves me. God doesn't care about me") or be intensely personal ("I'm a failure. No one would miss me. Everyone would be better off without me").
No matter the lie, they all have an isolating effect. Our enemy wants us to believe we are alone. Depression and anxiety amplify that voice.
If your friend, family member, or teammate are struggling with depression or anxiety, you can be their physical voice of truth. You can't believe the lie that you are helpless. I know that lie. I've heard it many times, felt its pain, believed it. But it's simply not true.
In fact, it's the opposite of the truth. You are far from helpless. You're the game-changer.
So, what do you do to help a friend or family member suffering with depression?
Speak life.
Speak life and truth over and over and over. Identify the lies that perpetuate depression and combat it with the truth.
You are loved.
You are not alone. God has a hope and good future for you.
Share Scripture with your friend in practical ways: sticky notes on their desk, cards in the mail, a message with an encouraging verse. Be a never-ending fount of living water truth.
Be there.
Sometimes, there's nothing to be said. Your presence is a gift. Don't let them sit on the couch in the dark alone. Don't let them push you away. Cry with them if they need to cry. Listen if they need to talk.
Depression and anxiety tends to alienate friends when that person needs them most. Resist the urge to lend platitudes or logically argue why they shouldn't feel the way they do. Just be there. Let your actions speak for you that your friend is not alone.
Make them laugh.
Yes, I'm serious. Make it a point to make your friend laugh, or at least smile, at least once a day.
God gave our bodies a natural anti-depressant that's released when we laugh. So pull out the joke book. Send that funny email. Flood their Pinterest board with crazy memes. Forward them that video of the kitten falling off the couch that your grandma sent you.
Surround them with beauty.
When depression fades our vision to shades of grey, beauty restores colour to our life perspective. It restores our sense of wonder and gratitude at all that God has made.
Take them on a walk on a gorgeous fall day. Take them to an art museum or sign them up for an art class. Give them flowers or a beautiful photograph. Point out a stunning sunset or drag them along hiking in the mountains with you.
Learn to see beauty around you and bring it to their attention.
Be practical.
Depression and anxiety are psychological struggles, true, but they are often triggered by circumstances. Is your friend an overwhelmed mom juggling busy toddlers and a new baby? Baby-sit the kids for awhile. Cook a meal. Do the shopping. Come over and clean their house.
Are they struggling financially? Find practical ways to meet the immediate needs and help them think through a recovery plan.
Is their marriage suffering, or are they experiencing burnout at work? Arrange to take over some of their responsibilities so they can take the time to get counseling or rest.
There is almost always something practical you can do to make someone else's load a bit lighter. Even that small lessening of their burdens can make a world of difference.
Give hope.
The most precious gift anyone can give a person struggling with depression and anxiety is hope. When I was growing up, my mom suffered from a severe season of anxiety and depression. It was a very frightening time for me, not understanding what happened to my cheerful, energetic mother and not knowing if she would ever come back.
I remember the doctor telling my mom something I will never forget: "We will get you through this. You will get better." That day, her doctor gave us both hope, and it helped see us through.
Never forget that you, as a Christ-follower, have a never-ending source of hope that never fails. Christ is the ultimate game-changer. Because of Christ, there is always hope.
