Black Lives Matter
Through the political, social and active movement, art and culture is produced and creativity encouraged. Poetry, literature and the visual arts created by activists involved in the movement have brought knowledge and connection between communities. Alicia Garza, one of the three black women who pioneered the movement, speaks on the core value and belief behind the collection's activism:
"I created #BlackLivesMatter with Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, two of my sisters, as a call to action for Black people after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was post-humously placed on trial for his own murder and the killer, George Zimmerman, was not held accountable for the crime he committed. It was a response to the anti-Black racism that permeates our society and also, unfortunately, our movements.
Black Lives Matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks' contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression."
Harry Potter — Cursed Child and Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them
2016 gave the fandom some gifts.
Comic-based films
The good, the bad and the ugly — I'll let you guess where Suicide Squad falls.
The Tragically Hip's last show.
"Thank you, people, for keeping me pushing and keeping me pushing."
– Gord Downie.
On Saturday, August 20th, 2016, Kingston was home to Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip's final show of their final tour.
Pokemon Go
Finally, you can become the trainer you were always destined to be. Not only did Pokemon revitalize the fandom, but it brought people together to play a light-hearted game.
David Bowie's Black Star
"Something happened on the day he died, Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside, Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried:
I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar." – David Bowie
Released January 8th of 2016, David Bowie's 25th and final studio album took the world by surprise. The album was dark and foreboding, but retained Bowie's ever-unique exploration of where you can go with music, art and words.
Rogue One
The story veers away from the established characters and explores other parts of the Star Wars universe; although the film has its place in the series' order, it reveals itself to be unique. A rivival of the series, and promise by its producers for a long continuation of the new films' stories, bring the world back for long-time fans and introduces wonders of Star Wars to new.
Beyonce's Lemonade
"I'm an artist and I think the most powerful art is usually misunderstood. But anyone who perceives my message as anti-police is completely mistaken. I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of officers who sacrifice themselves to keep us safe. But let's be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things. If celebrating my roots and culture during Black History Month made anyone uncomfortable, those feelings were there long before a video and long before me. I'm proud of what we created and I'm proud to be a part of a conversation that is pushing things forward in a positive way." – Beyonce
In an interview with Elle magazine, Beyonce meditated on some of the themes running through her work in the album. Although a massive, mainstream star, Beyonce uses her power for good and explores intimate thoughts on family, love, power and existing as a black woman.
A new era for television: Netflix
Netflix series get more popular and highlight exciting, new story telling: Stranger Things, Black Mirror, The OA and The Get Down. With the rising popularity of Netflix series, storytelling is expanding rapidly in order to tell interesting, thought-provoking stories in new, accessible ways.
Barry Jenkins' Moonlight
"I grew up a block away from the apartment in the film. And then some of the voices, and the way people's skin is always shiny—we told the makeup guy: no powder, we need sheen. But the main thing is the mom character, played by Naomie Harris. The playwright Tarell McCraney wrote the source material, like 40-45 pages, non-linear. It jumped back and forth in time, like halfway between the screen and the stage. And when I read it I immediately thought: this is a film. I did not know Tarell growing up, but we grew up literally a block from each other. We went to the same elementary school, and both his mom and my mom lived through that horrible crack-cocaine addiction. And there isn't a scene with her that didn't happen to either myself or Tarell. It's talking about things that I've always wanted to talk about." – Barry Jenkins on his film Moonlight.
Leonardo DiCaprio gets an Oscar!
And he uses his speech to talk about global warming! After receiving his first Oscar for his role in The Revenant, after being nominated six times in the past 22 years, DiCaprio took the stage to roaring ovation and took the opportunity to bring attention to climate change.
Hamilton, the musical
"I wrote my way out of hell. I wrote my way to revolution. I was louder than the crack in the bell. I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell. I wrote about The Constitution and defended it well. And in the face of ignorance and resistance, I wrote financial systems into existence. And when my prayers to God were met with indifference, I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance." —Hamilton, "Hurricane"
In a period of political unrest in the United States of America, the musical Hamilton took 2016 by storm to tell a new story.
The blackest black … and then the pinkest pink
The blackest of black pigments was created and artist Anish Kapoor snagged sole rights as the only artist to be allowed to use it. In response, the pinkest pink pigment was created — the creators released the product with the caveat that all are entitled to purchasing the paint except for Kapoor.
Dakota Access Pipeline protest and the work on Chanie Wenjack
More Indigenous art came from and was focused on due political events and cultural events; the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, Gord Downie's "Secret Path" and Joseph Boyden's "Wenjack", and further activism for an increased awareness, celebration and creation of Indigenous culture, art and history. Representatives of the movement released a statement for January 2017:
"There are over 1500 people still there between the new Oceti Oyate (The Peoples Camp, formerly Oceti Sakowin) Camp, Sacred Stone Camp, Rosebud Camp, medic and healer camp is still helping people. The highway is still barricaded. There are still close to 500 vets there fluxing in and out as the entire vet plan always entailed. There will be protectors there until DAPL is out."
The opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture
"The museum tells a history that continues to evolve. It documents the presidency of Barack Obama, but artifacts reflecting events like Black Lives Matter protests underscore persistent inequality and police brutality. Visitors will be able to leave their own thoughts at public video booths. After such powerful displays, they can also sit in a space called the Contemplative Court to come to terms with what they have witnessed."

European Beardism
In roman times, the beard was a symbol of virtue and wisdom and they had the custom to consecrate their first growth of beard to a God.
The ancient greeks would shave their beardist locks off during peiods of mourning, but allowed them to florish and grow full at other times. A smooth face was regarded as a sign of effeminacy.
The Lombards of germany were famed for their longbeards, which they grew to cover their chests. They also developed a slinghot arrangement with their beards, but it proved to be in-effective in battle and was abandoned in the middle of the 5th century.
The Modern Age
To cope with mankind's modern fast paced world, beards have had to adapt.
Downsized, minimized and trimmed for effeciency, today's beards and moustaches have undergone a transformation into sleek goatees, razor sharp pencil moustaches and arrowtip sideburns.
More conservative beardsters fear that beards are becoming so minimal that in the future they may be nothing more than wee tufts, eventually evolving to a single short and possibly curly hair.
Huge Beard Controversy
Developed in the first world war by European meglomaniacs, Santa Claus was originally used to torture young children and the elderly, but somewhere down the line he became a symbol of capitalizm and greed during the Christian festival of Christmas.
He does have a beard though, as did the baby jesus on Christmas day, and thats why we encourage small children to sit on his knee, and whine about their need for expensive toys.

Unfortunately, new facts have come to light — involving his failure to pay substantial
Mr. Daschle's tax shortfall is particularly troubling because it comes on the heels of another nominee's failure to pay taxes due. We were not pleased when the president's Treasury secretary,
Now we are confronted with an even larger lapse by Mr. Daschle, who failed to pay $128,000 in taxes, primarily for personal use of a car and driver provided to him by a private equity firm for which he consulted. Although the firm — headed by a major Democratic donor — had not issued a form 1099 for the value of the car service, Mr. Daschle said he became concerned last June that he might owe taxes on it and instructed his accountant to investigate. Neither was concerned enough to actually pay the taxes.
Only after the Obama
In both the Geithner and Daschle cases, the failure to pay taxes is attributed to unintentional oversights. But Mr. Daschle is one oversight case too many. The American tax system depends heavily on voluntary compliance. It would send a terrible message to the public if we ignore the failure of yet another high-level nominee to comply with the tax laws.Continue reading the main story

Mr. Daschle is another in a long line of politicians who move cozily between government and industry.

NCQA, the creator of the nation's leading patient-centered medical home (PCMH) program, collaborated with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to develop a customized PCMH recognition program. NYS PCMH supports the state's initiative to improve primary care through the medical home model. It also promotes the Triple Aim: better health, lower costs and better patient experience.
What Is PCMH?
PCMH is a care delivery model where the primary care team, along with the patient (and family, when appropriate), are responsible for managing the full spectrum of health care needs. The team also coordinates with clinicians in other settings when care cannot be provided in the primary care setting.
Why NYS PCMH?
The PCMH model focuses on care coordination, population health, evidence-based guidelines and effective use of HIT to meet patients' needs. NYS PCMH recognition helps practices put the structure, systems and processes in place to be effective medical homes.
The NYS PCMH model helps practices:
- Improve patient-centered access and patient experience.
- Perform comprehensive health assessments to identify patient needs.
- Deliver better preventive care such as immunizations and cancer screenings.
- Prioritize comprehensive care management to keep chronic conditions under control.
- Coordinate with other clinicians involved in patient care and close referral loops to improve continuity and avoid gaps.
- Identify patients who require recommended interventions and patients who need medication monitoring.
Additional Benefits for Practices
To support the efforts required in transforming New York practices to this new, exclusive model of patient care, NYSDOH provides the following resources:
- Recognition at no cost to practices. NYSDOH covers the first year NYS PCMH Recognition fee or the first NYS PCMH Annual Reporting fee. The practice is responsible for paying their Annual Reporting fee each year after earning NYS PCMH Recognition.
- Transformation assistance. New York state contracted with 15 organizations that specialize in NYS PCMH transformation and are available at no cost to participating practices. These entities provide step-by-step assistance in managing the transformation process and support the efforts of improving the patient experience. For more information, or to find a Transformation Assistance Contractor, visit ncqa.org/ta.
- Enhanced reimbursement opportunities. Practices that participate in NYS PCMH transformation may be eligible to receive supplemental payments through State programs such as the Medicaid PCMH Incentive Program. In addition, NYSDOH is engaged regionally with commercial payers to implement voluntary, multi-payer value-based payment (VBP) arrangements to support practices that have not had these opportunities through previous transformation efforts. Many of these models and eligibility to participate will depend on practices achieving NYS PCMH recognition.
This all leads to lower health care costs, improved patient experience and better health outcomes.
NYS PCMH Program Overview
The NYS PCMH recognition program features 6 concepts that make up a medical home. Criteria are the basis for these concepts. They are the activities for which a practice must demonstrate satisfactory performance to earn NYS PCMH Recognition. Criteria were developed from evidence-based guidelines and best practices.
To earn NYS PCMH Recognition, a practice must meet all 40 core criteria and 12 NYS-required criteria (with elective credit). Practices must earn a total of 25 credits in elective criteria across 5 of 6 concepts (16–19 credits are earned by meeting required NYS criteria, which cross all 6 concepts). Practices decide which of the remaining 6-9 credits of elective criteria to complete.
The NYS PCMH Standards and Guidelines document details program requirements.
How to Enroll in NYS PCMH
A practice downloads the Standards and Guidelines document, which contains the requirements for the program, and works with a Transformation Assistance Contractor to begin applying the standards to the practice. The entire recognition process is managed through Quality Performance Assessment Support System (Q-PASS), a user-friendly, online platform that allows for the upload of documentation, tracking of progress and management of practice sites and clinicians.
Paths to enroll for practices:

--Haruki Murakami, Dance, Dance Dance
Albert Einstein once said that "Time is an illusion". Why then does it feel all too real whenever I have pressing matters to put down on paper? Or maybe it only feels that way when there is less of it? The clock ticks by and we find ourselves more aware that it even existed.
So when do you find the time to write? I suppose the better question would be "Where do you find the time to write?". It almost feels as though sometimes I am plucking the minutes out of thin air. There are only so many hours in a day, and often your precious time is already claimed by work or friends or obligations or family or… life. So you write when you can, in pocket journals, on scraps of paper, on receipts. (Aside: I once wrote an entire chapter on a roll of receipt tape as it was the only means of writing material I could find. End of aside.) You scribble down ideas and names, and promise that you'll come back to them later, praying you don't lose them in the process. My purse, for instance, is often times a bottomless pit from which notes never return.
But what do you do when you have not only one idea to get down on paper… but two? Do you pick the one that has been tugging at your brain? Or do you choose the one that is a responsibility to finish, the one that should be a priority? Choosing between the two is like choosing which child is your favorite. (*Try not to have favorite children.) The only answers it to attempt to write both and hope that the storylines don't get crossed along the way.
*If this entry seems slightly on the short side, it's probably because I'm low on time.
…see what I did there?

Black Dog Daze
Public Life, Private Demons
Confronting and inspiring, Black Dog Daze offers readers an insight into one very public man's private battle, set amongst the drama of contemporary Australian politics.
Andrew Robb lived with an unspoken fear that what he passed off as 'not being good in the mornings' was something darker: a black dog whose daily visit lasted longer as the years passed. Worried about stigmas and letting people down, he avoided confronting the problem for four decades, the adrenaline of high-pressure and high profile jobs offering the ideal antidote. Ultimately, realising his ambitions meant having to face up to this very private demon.
Andrew Robb's battle with the black dog has touched a chord with many Australians. His memoir explores the challenges of managing depression, political ambition and life in the Liberal Party.
Andrew Robb's career has been devoted to the Liberal cause—as Federal Director of the Liberal Party, as Executive Director of the National Farmers Federation, during seven years in the Packer business empire, and now in parliamentary politics. His memoirs document the private struggle and the public life of the Liberal Party's chief political strategist. It offers readers an insight into one man's lifelong battle with a private demon amidst the drama and tumult of contemporary Australian politics.

Improve Running Speed & Prevent Injuries
Good running technique
In the green diagram the body's center of gravity is able to easily pass over the striking leg and because there is no breaking force you maintain the momentum gained from the back swing causing continuous forward movement producing a more efficient stride.
Running is a combination of bio mechanics (movement) and physiology (fitness) The bio-mechanics side looks at footwear & ground reaction force. The physiology side looks at how you can improve your heart and lungs ability to provide oxygen to the working muscles. In order to improve as a runner, you must look at both bio mechanics and physiology.
Improve running technique (biomechanics)
Running technique is made up of stride length, cadence, running posture, arm propulsion, foot placement, muscle recruitment and there may be a number of these components that can improve your running.
Bad running technique
There is an optimal stride length for your legs but once this is exceeded (red diagram), it will slow you down. Over striding causes the heel to strike with the toe pointing upwards. Due to the fact that the leg is so far out in front of the body it places a breaking force on the body.
Strength training (biomechanics)
Once you increase your maximum strength than your average force production will increase as well. On average it takes 1400 steps to complete a mile, so a 5% increase in force production with every stride you take over 5 miles will knock minutes off your time. This can be achieved without increasing bulk.
Perform anaerobic work (physiology)
Sprint training is a great way to improve long distance running. Flat out sprints lasting between 10-30 seconds followed by a rest period. This type of training is known as interval work, which combines both anaerobic and aerobic work.
Try this interval work out once a week
60 meter run (flat out) x4 with a 1:4 work rest ratio. As you get fitter increase your repetitions and use for 6 weeks. By the end of 6 weeks you should be doing 8 reps. If it is too easy, decrease the exercise to rest ratio to 1:3 or if you're an experienced runner start with a minimum of 8 reps.
A rest ratio of 1:4 is a more accurate way to determine rest periods. It means that if takes you 10 seconds to perform your first sprint than your rest period is 40 seconds, if it takes 15 seconds to complete your sprint than 60 seconds is your rest period.

LitmusLive Takeaways – Get Enlightened!
Sometimes, doing things in routine leaves no room for innovation. While you may not lose anything, you are not gaining either. Occasionally, a session of idea exchanges among peers can work wonders in breaking the monotony of being stuck to the plateaued performance. This is especially a scenario in the realm of email marketing. So, when you are in the presence of peers from the same domain, you tend to function better and think innovatively. EmailMonks felt the same when we attended Litmus Live from 17-19th Sept at Boston.
Following is a glimpse of some of the knowledge nuggets, email marketers like you and me have learnt from different sessions:
Lisa Keller @lisackeller
Consumers have the average attention span of 11.1 seconds in #email, slightly more than a goldfish can hold attention. What does that mean word wise? 50 WORDS OR LESS #BrevityOverBloat #litmuslive
Litmus @Litmusapp.
Optimizing for clicks, opens, and conversions isn't enough, says @MrDrewPrice #LitmusLive
"When coding mobile-first, it's important to not use !important declarations." @chrissmith77 #LitmusLive
Deliverability gets you to the party, inbox placement gets you into the door. #LitmusLive
Modular design allows you to standardize your process. It improves collaboration, efficiency, and helps you test ideas quicker. #LitmusLive
Have a Master email template ready-to-go for any last moment email campaigns. Get in touch with our Monks to have yours created.
"Progressive enhancement is like a broken escalator. Even when the escalator isn't working, you can still take the stairs." @alicemeichi #LitmusLive
An email with sky-high engagement that doesn't meet your strategic goal is ultimately a failure. #LitmusLive
"An email playbook is not a style guide. It's a hub for best practices, inspiration, case studies, resources, and more." @shannon_crabill #LitmusLive
"The worst call-to-action is too many call-to-actions." #LitmusLive
An un-designed email is personal. It's from a human, reads like a note, and feels more like a letter from a friend than a campaign from a company. @hollygowrightly #LitmusLive
Chad S. White (@chadswhite)
Email accessibly is not about accommodation so much as it is about inclusion. People have permanent, temporary, and situational impairments. @jaimebradley @logansandrock #LitmusLive
Accessibility in emails is the talk of the town. Learn how you can widen your customer base as well as delight your existing customer by creating accessible emails.
Great advice from Robin Parish of Wistia about email marketing project management–the role of the PM and team members, setting deadlines, communicating effectively, etc. So important as email is integrated into other channels and departments. #LitmusLive.

CLEVELAND — Troubled Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was cited for driving with expired license plates last weekend before he was spotted in Las Vegas.
According to police in North Olmsted, Ohio, Manziel was stopped at 8:28 a.m. on Saturday while driving on Interstate 480. Police gave him a traffic ticket for the expired plates. Manziel can pay a $125 fine for the offence.
Manziel was in the NFL's concussion protocol last week after the team said he got hurt in a Dec. 27 game. He wasn't required to be at Cleveland's season finale Sunday, but owner Jimmy Haslam said the 23-year-old failed to report to the team's facility for a required medical assessment.
The Browns did not confirm a report that Manziel was in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, Cavaliers star LeBron James ended his business partnership with Manziel.

My Dearest Love,
There's not enough oceans to reflect my love for you. Not enough shining of the moon to ignite a brightness within you. Stars establishing our time spent, written letters expressing timid honesty with each other. Words serving as the appetizer I intrigue, speechless the meal course I serve with a hint of devouring you for dessert. This love letter won't ever surpass perfection, these sentences folded and tucked away inside of an old shoe box like memories rekindled in time of need. Perfect identifies with me spending time in your presence, neglecting time as it speeds away seconds I'd never regret in gaining. You deserve a letter worth writing, worth investing every emotion into, every word requiring multiple drafts till satisfaction publishes the unforgettable tear jerking smile….. promoting the desire of soaring beyond capabilities.
P.S. Don't open this till I'm gone.
– C.A. Thomas

Observe Video is a Minneapolis, MN video production company that partners with companies to support their production needs.
Behind every successful initiative lies a story
What's yours?
"We worked with Max to put together a customer case study video describing how they were using the system, and why they had been successful. Our key need was for the video to be engaging and authentic. Along with Max, we decided that it would be best to shoot the video on-location at the customer site. I'm not sure that this happens frequently - but the customer said they had a great time, and that we were not disruptive.
It was such a great video we ended up using Max to do two more. He made sure we "got all of the shots" for the message we wanted to deliver. Max is personable, witty, engaging, a storyteller and shoots great video.
Highly recommended."
Corey Thompson, Naiku
I had the pleasure of working with Max on a video production for fundraising efforts at Groves Academy. We challenged Max with taking older video productions, taking some new footage and combining these into a themed story in a very short production time frame.
As an organization we provided Max with a scripted timeline and the opportunity to record live footage of three additional testimonials. His attention to detail was superb and his ability to listen to his client, offer professional advice and teach those not familiar with the production industry was done in a charismatic way with the client's best interest in mind. I would recommend Max for your next video production need.
Heidi Freisinger, YMCA Greater Twin Cities
"We had a wonderful experience with Observe Video! They worked with us from the beginning to end to plan our marketing video and were always prompt and engaged in the process. They made a great attempt to get to know who we are, what we do, and to help us communicate this through our video. Extremely happy with the end result!"
Carly Andersen, Residency Coordinator-University of Minnesota Medical School

My husband John and I were both only children, so by having two kids, we knew we were setting forth into a brave new world.
Both of us, like many only children, always dreamed about having a sibling we could pal around with. Of course, these were imaginary siblings, the pinky-swearing, truce-keeping pretend siblings who were so much better than the teddy bears we dressed up and had conversations with.
Actual siblings, if our friends' siblings were anything to go by, tend to take your stuff and tell on you, whenever they aren't busy punching you in the stomach. We witnessed plenty of that too, while growing up.
So when we had two kids of our own, we did our best to encourage a good relationship between them. We took pains to give our older daughter Brontë plenty of attention after baby Bridget was born, hand out toys and snuggles in even doses, and reward them for treating each other nicely.
One thing we're quickly discovering, however, is that siblings fight, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. Now that Bridget is walking and talking, we've had to lay down a couple of rules: no hitting and no calling each other bad names.
Aaaaaaand… it has been fascinating to see our kids come up with workarounds.
- Bridget Tactic #1: Holds something big and whacks her sister in the head with it, then immediately gives her an "I'm sorry" hug, before whacking her again.
Poor Brontë keeps falling for it. It sounds a lot like this: "Aww, her being nice now… OW!"
- Bridget Tactic #2: Flails her arms around wildly while walking closer and closer to Brontë until Brontë *happens* to run into her arms.
- Bridget Tactic #3: She has figured out that Brontë is so afraid of the dark, she'll flip out if you switch the lights off during daytime. So, game over…. all Bridget has to do is run around flipping switches and her sister is a quivering mass of panic.
But Big Sister is developing her own strategies.
- Brontë Tactic #1: "Not" calling Bridget names. It sounds like this: "SISTER! You are NOT a poo-poo head and you are NOT a stupid-head!"
- Brontë Tactic #2: Rolling into a sobbing ball whenever Bridget bumps into her while yelling, "OW, I'M HURT! SISTER HURT ME!" Sometimes she has to purposefully walk into Bridget's path to get bumped.
- Brontë Tactic #3: Shoving her little sister into the bathroom, shutting the lights off, and closing the door. This one is very effective, as Bridget will immediately scream bloody murder.
Clearly, these kids are motivated to fight, and sometimes it's hard to not laugh at their creativity.
But just as I was wringing my hands in parental despair, I witnessed an incident that reassured me that deep down, the girls actually do love each other:
We were recently all at the Children's Museum in Sacramento, a fun place for kids with lots of toys. Bridget was playing with a big train set while Brontë was across the room, playing with blocks. There was a little boy building a giant wall out of cushioned blocks, a wall as tall as he was. Brontë decided it looked fun and tried to get in on his game.
Brontë walked over to him and smiled, saying, "HI! I'm Brontë!" The little boy scowled.
Brontë picked up a cushioned block and put it on his wall.
The little boy grabbed her block and chucked it as far as he could, saying "GO AWAY!"
Brontë looked hurt, but decided to give it another shot. She walked up to the boy, smiling, and asked, "Friends?"
The boy put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her to the ground, barking "GO AWAY!" I jumped up to intervene, but before I could, I caught sight of Bridget stomping across the room.
Bridget was livid. Fixing the boy with a cold, hard stare, she kicked a hole in his wall with her tiny foot. Then, like a Baby Godzilla, she kept kicking his masterpiece into rubble.
The boy thrashed and screamed, but what could he do? It was a baby.
When every last cushioned block was scattered to the floor, Bridget swirled around and smiled at Brontë before walking back to the train set.
Brontë watched her for a moment. Then, looking at me, said, "Her a good baby."
Ah, siblings… it's a complicated relationship, yes?

I had to take a break sewing the Otto 2006-02-04 blouse. Not that I wanted to but the stabiliser I used for the embroidery was dehydrating, shrinking and pulling the fabric out of shape. I tried to continue but as soon as the steam from the iron passed over the stabiliser shrunk taking the blouse with it. I was finished the facing and would be fitting next. Except shriveled as it was, fitting was impossible. The only option was to soak away the remaining stabiliser and dry the blouse. Hence, forced to take a sewing break from the blouse.
It just so opportunely or not, happened that I wanted/needed to sew another pair of shorts. The last pair , lovely thought they were, shredded at the pocket during the first wear. You read that correctly, the edge next to the pocket shredded. These were already close fitting. There isn't a 1/2″ of ease available to fix the pockets. Especially irking because the reason for the zig zag finishing of the slash edges is to prevent the any such freying. I worse those shorts for about 6 hours and then put them in the trash.
It leaves me short of shorts. IOW, I felt I had the minimum number of shorts in my wardrobe. After the demise of that pair, I didn't have enough. I still have lots of remnants, though. From the stash I chose a light blue stretch woven. Pretty sure it's 100% polyester. In its day this made wonderful jacket and pants. No idea why I still have this remnant. It must be 20 years old. I chose it now so that I wouldn't have to change thread on the machines.
I'm using Burda 2013-02-143 again. I'm anxious to tweak this pattern and have added 1/2″ ease about 5″ down from the waistband and on the back piece only. At the same time I've removed another 1/8″ from the center back of the back waistband and increased the depth of both back darts. I need more bu_t room but less waist ease.
Unfortunately since this stretch woven has about 33% stretch, I can't really be sure how my changes have affected the fit of the basic pattern. It is comfortable and looks slightly better than the previous versions. At the same time instead of the back ease being stretched to cover my rear, it is folding at the left side seam. This wasn't something that I could photo and it is perplexing. But not visible to anyone but me because my top covers the fold and the fold is only on the left side.
I don't have matching thread either all purpose sewing or serging thread. I chose not to use the coverstitch machine, because the difference would be obvious. Instead I did a simple 4mm straight stitch to secure the hems and waistband into place.
Did you notice the red arrow above the waistband? I was trying to point out the new closures I'm using. I purchased these from WAWAK. I think they are meant for men's wear but I've grown to love them. I purchased the 10 pack first and ruined about half because I removed them from the package and tossed the directions. Weeks later I couldn't remember how to put these together. Hence leaning through destruction. Once I got the hang of them though, I was sold. I bought the 50 pack. The hold very well both during wear and through multiple laundry cycles. They've become my GOTO waistband fastener/closure. I can have all 4 pieces secured in less time than it takes to choose a button. Just no dislikes here. Unless I particularly want to use a special button, I"m using this Pant Closure for all my pants. As usually NAYY

Who we are
Capitalism across the world is in crisis. The ongoing spectre of wars, environmental destruction and poverty is all too apparent. This crisis is not simply down to the greed or corruption of individuals but is endemic to a capitalist system in decline. The need for a higher form of society based upon the principle of human need as opposed to the needs of capital is more obvious than ever. Communist Students believes that Marxism is the best way of understanding the world and changing it.
Communist Students exists to promote Marxism on our campuses, campaign for democracy in all spheres of life, and fight to replace capitalism with communism. Communism is the emancipation "of all human beings without distinction of sex or race" (Marx). It has nothing to do with the nightmare that was the Soviet Union under the suffocating rule of the bureaucracy. Likewise, other countries that claim the mantle of communism do so dishonestly. We are going to wrest back the word for what it genuinely means – the emancipation of humanity. This can only come about through the agency of the working class, the world's majority – seperated from the means of production – who have no objective interest in the continuation of this rotting system.
In order to overcome the striking theoretical and organisational failings of today's left we fight for a radical political culture of democracy and openess. Unlike the rest of the left we encourage our members and supporters to think critically and argue their differences out openly. Only in this way can our class educate itself to the level whereby it can take on the running of society as a whole. Rather than ignore other left groups who we disagree with we engage with them, arguing vigorously for the unity of Marxist students in an openly communist and democratic organisation.

Craig Caffall has played music around the world. Picking up the guitar while attending a boarding school in England, Caffall later moved to California and has been playing in the U.S. and Mexico since. The Craig Caffall band has had many incarnation over the years and covered many states. The release of Craig's album Hold Me Up in 2007 is just another brick in the proverbial wall of Caffall's exciting career in music.
Hold Me Up, the first track on the album as well as the title track, is a blues song complete with blues guitar solos and New Orleans soul. Mudbugs and Dixie Beer has more of southern rock feel with the vocals echoing back to compound the original energy. Cryin' in the Rain is a classic rock style song that brings to mind the likes of Van Morrison and Tom Petty. Roll On Big Sister, the title track of Caffall's 1999 release, doesn't seem to have the same level of musicianship as the other tracks on Hold Me Up although the concept behind the song still deserves merit. The Storm starts out with a little mandolin and fiddle. This song sounds like a mix of bluegrass and some good old classic rock. The vocals in this track stand out in this track as having more energy and emotion than some of the previous songs. Try is a slower song that's more of a ballad with a 'Stormy Monday' feel and definitely fits well here in relation to the rest of the album. I Did It All Bad lyrically mimics Caffall's bio and has the honesty and poeticism to make a great song. Hope You're Doing Alright has a 90's pop/rock vibe and adds a nice hint of diversity to the album as a whole. Up in Flames is a good song, however the instrumentation is a little repetitive. It would have been nice to hear a little more dynamics in this one. Closing out the album, Hard Life starts out slow with just Craig and the guitar. The song build up to a grand finale - this is the type of dynamics I was talking about earlier - awesome!
Overall, Hold Me Up is an entertaining album and Craig Caffall is an artist with tons to offer musically. The album is bumpy at times, but as a whole, full of soul, energy and some great blues.
3.5 out of 5 stars

Bibs might make you think of diapers, pacifiers and babies.
But in the case of fall fashion, a bib necklace is one key accessory that will get you looking like a hot mama sans the little bundle of joy.
Shaped like an actual baby's bib, these statement-making pieces come in an assortment of styles from bold colorful gems to sparkly fabric to chunky metal pieces.
The trend has been turning up on the necklines of plenty of Miami gals.
Coral Gables resident Rachel Gomez, 22, said she loves the look since she spotted celeb Kim Kardashian sporting it in a magazine.
"I love Kim's style and when I noticed her bib necklace was from Forever 21, I quickly went to buy it," said Gomez. "I like it because you can dress up a plain outfit like jeans and tee with it."
In Kendall, several recessionistas were gushing over the collection of bibs at Lohemann's.
"They are so cute," said Frances Carr, 34. "I would totally wear this to work or at night with a dress."
The necklaces can be found anywhere these days from Target to Neiman Marcus.

Recently I have noticed that I've been so busy trying to accomplish as much as possible that began running out of gas. This was due to constant movement with no breaks.
As I prepared for this holiday weekend, I placed a request in at the office for an additional day off. This request was not for travel, but rather to sit poolside and relax. No phone, no ipad, no distractions; just a good ole fashioned book to read and my goggles for swimming.
I'm not certain what your sweet spot is or what surrounding relaxes you, but I strongly suggest that you relax and take advantage of this time off. If yo do not have the entire weekend off, try not to jam your day off with so much stuff that you forget to relax, recharge and regroup!
Happy 4th of July to you all!

Hanging coins on the door handles is an excellent way to bring money luck into your home.
You can hang three old Chinese coins, tied with a red thread or a ribbon on the door handle.This benefits all the members of the house.
The coins should be hung on the inside of the door and not outside.
Please do not go to the extreme and hang coins on each and every door of your house.Hanging coins on the main door is enough.
The use of Chinese coins to activate money luck is very effective.
You can take three Chinese coins tied with a red thread and keep them in your purse or wallet. It symbolizes a continuous source of income for an individual.
You can use three coins rather than four or five, since the number three itself is very auspicious.
These coins given as gifts to someone is wonderful.
To energize the money flow these coins can be pasted on the front cover of account books bill books or other books registering cash dealings.
The coins can even be placed in the cash box in shops and at home.
When pasting these coins on account book covers or on the inside of doors, always paste them.with the yang side up, i.e. the side which has 4 Chinese characters written, should be above and visible and the other side with the two characters should be below.
Another important use of coins is as a cure for certain Flying Star afflictions.The location in the house having star formations 3-2 and 2-3, which is called the bull fight sha, as the name suggests results in arguments and fights. The coins are used as a remedy for this defect. Ascertaining if such a combination of Flying Stars is present in your house and pinpointing its location, is beyond the scope of a book or an article like this and forms the part of a professional and detailed Feng Shin audit.

Hey Nerds,
My name's Chris and I just found this community.
I'm a software developer from Germany and thinking about starting to roleplay SteamWorld:Heist and streaming it for some charity. Maybe https://donate.charitywater.org/ .
I've never streamed before and could probably use help from someone with a bit of experience, and this forum seems to be full of streamers .
Also, I made a shitty t-shirt for the current marathon and am not sure where to post the link.
You can critique my creation at https://www.booster.com/thespeedgame...-or-treat-2016 . A different font might be better but they don't have a large selection.
Later, Nerds!

Watching Holiday Wishes from the Magic Kingdom or the Polynesian?
by Michelle
"Hi, Dad. My family, me and my husband, my two little ones ages five and two are headed to Disney World for the first time together. We are going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and plan to stay for the fireworks.
We are also planning to go to the Polynesian one night for dinner and watch the electrical water parade and the fireworks from the beach there. However, the way it works out best for our itinerary is for us to be at the Polynesians during another Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party line.
Would we be missing out not seeing the regular fireworks the night we're at the Poly? Should we tweak things so that we purposely see the regular fireworks show from the Poly or would it be okay to see the Mickey's Very Christmas Party fireworks twice?"
I got to tell you, Michelle, I just love Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It's my favorite, one of my favorite things to do. I just love the snow on Main Street, love the decorations, the snacks that are around. It's an experience I really love. The Holiday Wishes, the parade at night, it's just a great holiday experience.
Dad's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party pageShould you make a change to your plans? Nah, I think watching Holiday Wishes from the Magic Kingdom, then watching it from the Polynesian is a great idea because you get to see a little wider shot especially for Holiday Wishes.
For the old Wishes show and the new Happily Ever After Show, most of the fireworks are right over the castle but with Holiday Wishes, the fireworks are all the way around the park and you don't get to see a full perspective from inside the park. It's hard to see some of those fireworks depending on where you are on Main Street or where you're watching the fireworks from. It's hard to see those fireworks that are surrounding the park.
When you're at the Polynesian, you get the full effect. You get the fireworks over the castle. You get the ones that are around the park. You just get a better view from the Polynesian Resort.
I wouldn't change anything. I would do both. I think seeing it twice is fine. Number one, it's a great show. Number two, getting that perspective from up close and from far away, it is really worthwhile so don't change anything. Enjoy.
Dad's Bottom LineBottom line, that's the bottom line, just go have Fun. It'll be Magic. Just make it Simple. Yes, you could go watch Happily Ever After but I think Holiday Wishes is better. I think you'll find it to be a great thing.

Battered wife syndrome in Israel?
OK, the election is over. A majority of American Jews, exhibiting battered wife syndrome, gave Obama their votes. In appreciation for the support of so many Jews, Obama nominated the most ant-Israel cabinet ever. The New York Post now reports: Israel will award President Barack Obama the country's Presidential Medal of Distinction during his upcoming visit. Israeli President Shimon Peres' office said Monday that Obama will be recognized for his "unique and significant contribution to strengthening the State of Israel and the security of its citizens." Obama is scheduled to visit Israel in March - his first as president. I suppose that compared with the harm Peres did to Israel with the Oslo Accords, this is not a big deal. Still....(Read Full Post)

2 Chainz recreates Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in the "Freebase" video.
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" may be the most iconic music video of all time, and seeing as we're in the age of nostalgia, it was only a matter of time before someone took another crack at it.
2 Chainz may not have been the first artist you'd have picked out to don MJ's zipper jacket, but he pulls it off, and we all know he's got just as original of a dance style as Jackson did, it's just a lot less technical.
"Freebase" comes off the free EP of the same name. If you've yet to check out the project, which features some of Tit's most adventurous production choices yet, do so here.

Ocean Plastic Products was founded by Jack Hartwell in 1985. Located on the west side of Santa Cruz, Jack and OPP quickly developed a reputation for high quality and expertise. Jack employed traditional tools of the trade - table saws, routers and drill presses to fabricate a wide range of products from Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays to equipment covers to display cases of every kind.
Frank Mages purchased OPP from Jack in 2010 where he carried on the tradition of excellence that Jack had established. Frank operated out of the west side shop until 2012 when he moved the business to a larger facility in Live Oak. The extra space allowed Frank to diversify the customer base and the scope of fabrications. The face of OPP changed forever when Frank purchased our first CNC router in 2013. Frank chose the Limtech Orion 510 based on its capability, capacity and world class reliability. Coupled with SAE's Enroute toolpathing software, OPP was able to expand its product offering dramatically to include parts with much greater geometric complexity, much higher accuracy and far higher run quantities.
Frank continued to operate OPP until 2015 when he sold the business to Bill Turner. Bill continued to leverage the capabilities of the CNC equipment and software along with customer-specific vacuum fixturing to produce parts with smaller geometries, and parts with even more complexity and at even higher quantities. Additionally, OPP now offers welded plastic enclosures and full 3D engraving in plastic, wood sheet materials and composites.

How To Build a Viral Community in Your Fitness Business- Retention- Part One
Whenever someone finds out how many clients we have coming into one facility, they always ask me how I'm able to grow and sustain such a lucrative business. People always assume that I'm this great marketer and that I must spend a ton of money on marketing.
Well, they are surprised when I tell them that I barely spend any money on old-fashioned traditional external marketing. For me, it's about creating value for the clients and customers that I already have.
Retention is by far the best way to build and maintain a lucrative business. It takes far more effort to land a new client than it does to keep one.
The best way to retain clients is to deliver an experience, build relationships, and create community within your organization.
If we look at definitions of community, the one that stands out to me is this: "A community is a group or society that shares common values, helping each other."
So in business, your goal as the business owner is to create what I call a "Viral Community". One where everyone holds you in their highest regard and makes sure that all their friends, family, and co-workers know about you and what you're doing!
So if we look at how to do that, there are many ways to build a viral community within your organization. There are three main ways that we implement this into my business.
1) Deliver An Experience
Delivering an experience is first and foremost because it is what people remember most! This starts from the time someone walks in the door of your facility. There are many ways to create a WOW experience. But you especially want to do this upon a prospects first impression of you and your business. Here are a couple ways that we deliver experience through service in my business:
- Every person that walks through our doors whether they're a prospect, customer, or client gets greeted within 10 seconds (if you're familiar with Moe's Southwest Grill, you know what I mean!) We also call this, "Beat the Greet!"
- Every prospect gets offered a bottled water or coffee
- Every client gets a FREE bottled water and towel during their warm-up
- Every semi-private training client gets offered to be manually stretched after every workout
- Every client gets contacted at least once a month outside of their training sessions to simply check in on them
- If a client or customer hasn't scheduled or attended a session in 7 days, they get a follow up call to get them back on track
- Our facilities are ALWAYS clean, especially the bathrooms (this means more than you think!)
These are just a few of the things that we do to deliver an experience. There's A LOT more that I'll save for another post.
In part 2, we'll talk about building relationships and creating community within your organization. The goal is to have a strong and viral community that loves being associated with your facility and wants to invite everyone they know to join them.

How Does Channel Width Affect 802.11ac Interference?
In my previous post, I discussed the two classifications of interference on your wireless network: non-Wi-Fi sources and Wi-Fi sources. In this post, I focus on a source of Wi-Fi interference specific to 802.11ac and how it is mitigated with current technology.
802.11ac brings its own challenge that is not often discussed: Overlapping BSS (OBSS). OBSS is defined as two BSSs that, well, overlap, because their channel configurations occupy some of the same space.
Consider the following scenario:
Two APs can hear each other. AP1 is set to use channel 36+40+44+48 (primary channel 36+40) while AP2 is set to use channel 44+48. Due to the nature of 802.11 and co-channel interference, AP1 cannot transmit while AP2 is transmitting.
In this scenario, the APs will forever dance the dance of CCI, waiting for the other to finish transmitting before taking over the medium itself. Wouldn't it be better if instead of waiting, they could both transmit at the same time?
Figure 1: OBSS Visualized
802.11ac has a built in mechanism to help mitigate the issue of OBSS. AP1 could simply utilize the other 40 MHz that is not occupied by AP2. AP1 has its primary channel set to 36+40, meaning that while AP2 is transmitting on 44+48, AP1 can transmit data simultaneously!
Be wary, though, in this scenario when both APs are transmitting, the throughput on AP1 is half of the throughput compared to when only AP1 is transmitting. This is because AP1 switches from an 80 MHz channel width down to a 40 MHz channel width. However, while the individual throughput might be lessened, the overall throughput of the system is greater.
Lastly, remember that OBSS doesn't just occur with 80 and 40 MHz channels. Many high density deployments are choosing to not use channel bonding in order to provide added connectivity instead of added throughput. This means that you might run into a 20 MHz channel overlapping your 40 or 80 MHz deployment.
Don't worry, though, 802.11ac can shrink the channel width all the way down to 20 MHz in order to "play nice". That means that if you set your AP to 36+40+44+48 with 36 being the primary channel and you hear another AP on channel 40, your AP will shrink its own channel width down to channel 36 in order to continuously transmit.
Figure 2: 802.11ac primary channel assignments
When designing your wireless network, take into consideration Wi-Fi sources of interference and deploy accordingly. If you are not achieving your expected throughput, Wi-Fi might be the cause. APs on the same channel (CCI) could be severely degrading network performance. Even APs that are broadcasting too loudly on other channels (ACI) can generate issues.
Lastly, beware OBSS. Even though there are mechanisms built in to suppress the effects of OBSS, you might still end up with those pesky support calls that we all dread. Hopefully, at the end of the day, someone will finally compliment you on how stable the wireless is.

Nintendo disappoints over 3DS battery life
Launch line-up
Nintendo has revealed the Japanese launch date for its 3DS gaming console, as well as system specifications, which has prompted disappointment over battery life.
Sales for the stereoscopic console will start on February 26 for Y25,000 (£190) a pop in Japan, with the US and Europe set to follow in March. Nintendo expects to sell 4m units worldwide by the end of March.
Specification has also been revealed and the short battery life is a sore point. With 3D games, the console will shut down after three to five hours. With 2D games it could last a maximum of eight - a huge reduction from the DS Lite's 15-19 hour life.
The Japanese 3DS game launch line-up now follows:
Battle of the Giants: Dinosaurs 3D
Nintendogs and Cats
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
Puzzle Bobble 3D
Samurai Warriors: Chronicle
Super Street Fighter IV 3D
Ridge Racer 3D
Winning Eleven Soccers 3D (PES 3D)
More anticipated in-house titles such as Resident Evil 3D, Pilot Wings Resort and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D will tip up in Spring, while Metal Gear Solid, the title we were most impressed by at Nintendo's first 3DS event - and Star Fox are listed as sometime in 2011.
Super Street Fighter IV 3D
Not in front of the children
Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has defended the potential health implications of the new handheld. Late last year, the company issued a health warning which suggest children under the age of seven shouldn't use the 3D aspects of the device.
In an interview with the Japanese version of the Wall Street Journal, Iwata said the warning was intended to prevent potential health related lawsuits. Apparently, eye muscles in kids under seven years aren't fully formed yet and the warning is generic across the entire 3D industry. ®

If the financial price of drinking alcohol in excess isn't enough to deter users from doing it, then perhaps the health risks will provide more incentive to stop drinking. Drinking alcohol in excess presents a wide range of risks to physical and mental health. The following 5 leading risks have grave consequences for those who abuse alcohol.
1. A Weak Immune System
Excessive drinking for long periods of time has been shown to affect the body's ability to heal itself. Heavy drinkers have a difficult time recovering from illnesses and injuries. It could be as simple as a sinus infection or
a cut on your finger, but excessive drinking can make it harder for your body to heal. In addition, chronic drinking weakens the body's immune system as a whole, making
you more susceptible to contracting an illness. Drinking excessively may leave you off your feet for days when the common cold strikes.
2. Heightened Risk of Cancers
Research has proven again and again that drinking alcohol in excess and various different cancers are closely related. Certain cancers, especially breast and liver cancer, are more likely to strike individuals who
consume alcohol on a moderate to heavy basis. Other cancers that have been closely related to alcohol use include, colon, stomach and esophagus cancers. If you
come from a family with a history of any of these cancers and drink alcohol in excess, your risk of contracting these cancers increases significantly.
3. Disrupted Sleep Patterns
Heavy drinking has also been associated with several different sleep disorders. It has been known to trigger the onset of sleep disorders and to increase the dangers of existing disorders. For example, a person
with sleep apnea is at greater risk of having longer episodes during the night and at more frequent intervals. Other problems that can be triggered by prolonged, heavy drinking include increased time needed to fall asleep.
4. Hypertension
Drinking alcohol in excess has a profound effect on blood pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the most common risks associated with heavy alcohol use. Chronic high blood pressure causes the heart to work much harder than it would normally need to. Hypertension in itself presents a variety of different health risks, including stroke and
heart failure.
5. Injury Risks
Using alcohol excessively and frequently can lead to a high risk of injury for a number of different reasons. When under the influence of alcohol, a person is more likely to have a slip and fall accident or a motor vehicle accident. Research also links alcohol to instances of sexual assault, drownings and suicides as well. As the level of drinking increases, the level of safety decreases for an individual. Thus, excessive drinking leaves a person at high risk for sustaining some sort of bodily injury.
All of these 5 risks can disrupt your quality of life and have a negative impact on friends and family members. Drinking alcohol in excess is clearly dangerous and you
need to be cautious of this.
