Delays belong to the ever elusive category of temporal effects. To some, delays are a one trick pony. You will often find that one guitar player who has dozens of distortion or overdrive pedals, but just a single Boss delay. However, the truth is that delays are a rabbit hole you can easily get lost in. Need proof? Just check out Eventide TimeFactor Twin Delay. Not only does this thing completely change the game when it comes to adding that delay to your signal chain, but it looks like a panel from a space shuttle. Today we are going to check it out and show you just what kind of performance you can expect to see from this thing.
Eventide TimeFactor Twin Delay Review
Eventide is known for pushing the envelope all the time. Sometimes they do it even if we don't need nor want such solutions. Even so, we are always appreciative of their effort considering how much of an impact they have. TimeFactor twin delay is no different in this sense, aside from being extremely useful and reshaping the way we experience delay pedals. They have built so much functionality into a single stompbox, thus giving us a true multi tool. With that said, there should be a word of warning printed on every TimeFactor box. This pedal requires effort. Not that much skill, but effort. If you are wondering why, you are about to find out.
It may be hard to make sense of the mess that is the control panel on TimeFactor. However, the closer you get, easier it becomes to decipher. For starters, you need to look at it as a sound processor rather than an average delay. Go one level deeper and we can break that description down into a more manageable chunks. TimeFactor features two independent delays, both of which are paired with the main processing unit. Interestingly enough, you can use both delay channels at the same time. Each channel is fully configurable and adjustable, however the core of the magic happens in the processor.
Eventide has packed this pup full to the brim with all kinds of modes, options and features. We have 100 built in presets, a full fledged looping station, LFO, filters and a whole lot more. Controlling this beast is done using three footswitches, a series of 11 knobs and a built in LED display. With that said, the most practical point of control you have are the two main modes. You have Play mode and Bank mode. Former turns the pedal into a relatively standard delay. In other words, you can select the type of delay you want, dial it in and use it in real time. Far left switch is your bypass in this scenario, far right switch is the tap temp, but the middle switch is where things get crazy. By pressing the middle switch, you engage the infinite repeat feature.
In Bank mode, you can store various patches into the memory of the pedal and access them at any time in the future. TimeFactor comes with full MIDI support, thus allowing you to pair it with various controllers. In short, Eventide has given you all the tools you could ever need to dial in a vast variety of delay types.
Speaking of delay types, there are 10 of them in total. You have your digital delay, vintage delay, tape delay and all the usual suspects you can think of. Some of them are strictly mono, but many of them work in stereo as well. Plugging this pedal into stereo mode adds an additional layer of awesomeness to the whole equation.
In Use
The abundance of features has made TimeFactor a very hot piece of gear to have. However, where most other pedals are limited to stage use, this one comes to shine when put to hard work in a recording studio. The level of complexity, number of delay types and sheer quality of sound make it a prime piece of gear for this application. That one knob which allows you to blend in both delay channels is enough to earn it this title, let alone everything else.
With all that said, it is worth mentioning that Eventide TimeFactor takes some getting used to. Figuring out all of this won't happen over night. Fortunately, this pedal is one of those which work at the pace you set, not the other way around. If you don't feel like recording a patch, looping it through one channel while you push something completely different through the other, you don't have to. As a matter of fact, you can use it as a most basic delay package. Spending time with TimeFactor will slowly start revealing some of its numerous traits. In all honesty, getting comfortable with each layer of its performance is the best way to approach it. Of course, if you have plenty of experience with guitar effects pedals, TimeFactor will come across as an unusually large blank canvas. This probably explains why John Petrucci, Robin Finch and many other legends of our time are using this delay as a part of their standard setup.
What Eventide did with TimeFactor isn't new in a sense that no one has done it before. There are similar pedals out there. They did, however put a whole new spin on the idea of a versatile delay package. There is a good chance that TimeFactor is simply the most capable pedal of its kind out there. If you think about it, every single aspect of TimeFactor's existence is geared towards professional use. From its sturdy chassis, impressive I/O cluster, to the colorful offering of controls, modes and presets. Sure, it isn't the cheapest thing in the world, but the amount of value it brings to the table largely outweighs the price. As a matter of fact, we could even go so far as to say it is a bargain.
Check out this demo tutorial video for the Eventide TimeFactor to get a closer look at this baby.

Over the weekend, BREAKING NEWS out of Atlanta made national headlines. The Buckhead Neighborhood Coalition planned a protest to keep BIEBER OUT OF BUCKHEAD, because they have nothing better to do on a Monday morning after they gas up their Range Rovers and pass their kids off to the help.
Well this was absolutely ridiculous, and obviously TMZ, Gawker, and the like picked it up. Nikky and I knew we couldn't miss this history taking place in our own backyard, so we dragged our asses out of bed at 5 a.m. (after much vodka/Fireball last night), picked up our $5 Starbucks lattes, and got in protest mode.
Luckily, there were extra signs on site for us.
Moms Against Bieber? HELL YES. #MAB
Although 500+ people RSVP'd to the protest, we soon realized the rich Buckhead folk had opted to sleep in rather than support their cause. There were a total of 3 actual protestors in attendance, but about 47 media people—the local FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC affiliates, multiple radio stations, a news outlet from BERLIN (as in, Germany), and….TMZ. Hell, TMZ even sent one of their reporters from Miami for this EPIC event.
As it turned out, Nikky and I were the most popular "protesters" on the scene and did interviews with every media outlet because we are attention whores enjoy speaking our minds.
Nikky's best quote: "Our husbands have worked hard to make Buckhead the rich, pretentious community it is. We don't need Bieber with his abs and his attitude coming here to cause chaos."
I am especially proud of my quote during my FOX interview: "This is the only protest ever sponsored by Starbucks and Neiman Marcus."
I was lucky enough to speak with one of the real protestors.
What…..a vivacious gentleman.
We hung around, made up some chants ("Baby, baby, baby, NO!"), and when we realized no more protestors were showing and the "march" to JB's future house wasn't happening, we fled the scene to go back to bed.
But Rock 100.5 called and wanted us to come in studio and recap our experiences on The Regular Guys morning show. So, duh.
We arrived and got settled in with our coffee breath…
And that's when they told us THEY were behind the whole thing. They made the Facebook page. They had been doing interviews and sending quotes to CNN and BBC. The three "protestors" were their interns.
Well fucking played, guys. Although I still can't believe out of those 500+ people who RSVP'd to the protest thinking it was real, not one showed up. Way to support a cause you believe in, Buckhead.
Bizzle, bring your no-shirt-wearing, house-egging, drag-racing, DUI-gettin' ass to Buckhead. Let's party.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- For many girls, prom season is an exciting time filled with shopping for the perfect dress, scheduling hair appointments and picking out shoes and accessories. But that's not always the case as many families simply cannot afford the high costs associated with celebrating the milestone.
That's where Emily's Closet steps in — offering high school girls the chance to select a free prom dress to wear for the occasion. Sponsored by the Heritage Junior Women's Club, this year's boutique will be held 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce in Bay Minette.
The boutique is open to all students in Baldwin County's public and private high schools. Club members will serve as personal shoppers to assist the girls at the boutique and refreshments will be served, organizers said.
The project began in 2005 in memory of Emily Rose Parker, a Bay Minette teen who was killed in an automobile accident in 2003 — just before the start of her senior year at Baldwin County High School. Since then, Emily's Closet has given away more than 500 dresses to area girls.
Parker's sister Melanie Sikes is a member of HJWC and has helped with the prom dress giveaway for many years. She said it's a special time for her family.
"Emily was a loving daughter and sister who was active in many community affairs and was a devoted friend to many. She loved prom time and our house was always full of young ladies preparing for the big night," Sikes said.
Initially the event traveled to high schools throughout the county but last year the group chose to hold the event in one location and set it up in a boutique fashion, offering a better shopping experience.
Sikes said Emily's Closet affords many girls the opportunity to attend the prom in a beautiful dress of their choosing. "I love this program and all the good that it does for young ladies in our community. It is great to see the joy on the teens' faces when they have found the perfect dress," Sikes said. "I hope that this program will continue to grow so that we will be able to help more young ladies in Baldwin County."
Sherry Lee at Foley High School said the program has been a blessing to many students there during the past several years. "Emily's Closet is probably more important to Foley High School students than most any other school in the county simply because of the diverse population that we have here," she said. "When Emily's Closet was brought to Foley in the past it was utilized by so many girls that could not afford any other way to go to prom."
Now that there is one location, Lee said two teachers have stepped up to help transport students who otherwise would not have a way to attend to the boutique. "They have agreed to stay with the girls at Emily's Closet until everyone has a dress before returning home no matter how long it takes," Lee said.
Heritage Junior Women's Club restocks its inventory with donations from the community and by purchasing dresses with funds raised by the organization.
HJWC accepts donations of dresses year-round at the North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce on McMeans Avenue. All items of women's formal wear and jewelry are welcomed and plus sizes are always needed. Shoes are not accepted. Monetary donations can be mailed to: HJWC, P.O. Box 45, Bay Minette, AL 36507.

27 Apr Paychecks And Uncooperative Employers
Bankruptcy filers must provide paycheck information ("pay advice") to a trustee covering the 60 days before a filing, and also must provide their attorneys with income information for the six months before a filing (including gross pay and often detailed paycheck deductions) for means test calculations. An uncooperative former employer makes this difficult.
Employment may have ended on a bad note, for personality reasons or differences in expectations. The client did not keep paystubs, and now the employer will not cooperate. The W-2 for tax returns doesn't help, since it is for a different period of time. What to do?
Buried in your state's wage statutes might be a requirement for an employer to make wage information available to any employee. In Massachusetts, the "reasonable access" requirement is found at GLM chapter 151 section 15.
The truly uncooperative employer will want the employee to stop by the previous place of employment, obviously uncomfortable to the client, and write down the necessary information without making a copier available or offering to mail the information.
I believe that reasonable access means a mailing to the person of the client's choice, and I cannot imagine any judge would accept otherwise. If structured properly, damages and attorney fees could be recovered for the former employer's stubbornness.

Why Choose Wazi
Why Wazi?
It's almost impossible to explain the experience of being a camper at Wazi. It really is the way life should be for kids – exciting, adventurous fun in a stunningly beautiful place – away from technology – where kids are welcomed for who they really are.
You can be sure that if Disney chose us as the setting of their famed camp TV show "Bug Juice", we certainly have an ideal location! But that's not what makes us unique or amazing, or wonderful, or life-changing – all words our campers have used to describe Wazi. What makes us the place you should send your kids (or the place you should go if you're a potential camper reading this) is much deeper than the right location, schedule or activities. We do have tons of activities – from all the classics to modern ones like "The Blob"! But what's much more important is the atmosphere – the people, and the way we are deep down.
First and foremost is the incredibly close-knit and inclusive community we have. Kids are welcomed for who they are and are never divided into cliques, groups, or newcomers vs. previous campers. In today's world of text messaging and video games, we have a human atmosphere of healthy connections and real communication. It's unequaled in promoting social skills and teaching kids to get along with each other (which may be the most useful skill of all), and of course it's a tremendous amount of FUN! We have an amazing staff of caring and well-vetted young people from all over the world, many of whom have been with us for years.
We also have unsurpassed communication with parents. As Wazi's Director, I know every camper personally and I make sure they are having the time of their lives. My brother and I had a lifelong dream to own a camp because we loved camp so much growing up and because it changed our lives in so many great ways. We realized that dream when we became the owners and directors at Camp Waziyatah. We're camp people, camp nuts even, and we know what camp is supposed to be – like how the memory of stargazing with a best friend or learning to get up on water skis for the first time stays with you forever. And since we know how it was for us, we make sure it's the same way for all our campers. We are hands-on directors and that's a big part of what makes Wazi different. Of course we have all of the things you would expect from a premiere Maine summer camp. What makes us unique is the way Wazi is – the atmosphere and our people. These are the things that make Wazi a one of a kind place and truly a life-changing experience.
- Named one of the TOP 50 Summer Camps in the United States!
- Number ONE rated Maine Summer Camp on campratingz.com!

Let's Get The Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degree from Joint Program of Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of Michigan
After launching collaboration 3.5 / S2 3.5 + S2 program in Bioinformatics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen reached a new agreement with the University of Michigan to launch another new 3 + 2 S1 / S2 collaboration program in statistics.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Shenzhen Campus and the University of Michigan have collaborated to design a five-year study plan for students studying data science, financial statistics, and statistics. Through this program, CUHK (SZ) students will study statistics at the University of Michigan in their final year after three years studying in Shenzhen.
During their first semester at UM, they can study the S1 program offered by the Department of Statistics. The credit they get from the program can be transferred to the S1 credit they undergo or pass into their S2 credits. Students who achieve outstanding results can directly go to S2 Master of Statistics at UM without having to submit GRE results.
Applications for this joint program will open in the end 2017. Students of the School of Management and Economics who take the Statistics program in 2015 will be the first to benefit from this scheme. Successful applicants will immediately study to MW in the fall of 2018.
After completing this program, students will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree by Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen Campus and a Master of Science degree by the University of Michigan.
Chinese University of Hong Kong is the top university in Asia which is ranked # 46 in the world (QS World Ranking 2018). In 2014, CUHK officially opened its branch campus in Shenzhen after obtaining approval from the Ministry of Education in accordance with China's Overseas Cooperation Rules in the School Field. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen Campus inherits the educational philosophy and academic system of the CUHK.
The School of Science and Engineering is positioned to advance the strategic disciplines of science and technology, to form a team of top professors, to build a learning environment that combines China with the Western world, and to foster leading professionals equipped with professional knowledge, versatility and perspective international.
International is an essential feature for this University. CUHK (SZ) has reached agreement on 50 projects in cooperation with 41 of the world's top universities, jointly teaching undergraduate and graduate students. Currently, more than half of the students studying at CUHK (SZ) have gained experience abroad, ranked first among other state universities.
The University of Michigan, which has existed since 1817, is a state university known as one of the Ivy League State schools, a recognized US university association providing an Ivy League-level teaching experience at a public tuition price. Now, UM is ranked # 21 world (QS World Ranking 2018).
Its statistics department is recognized as one of the foremost in the United States and its graduate programs attract many talented students from home and abroad each year. Of 111 graduate students over the past 3 years, 22 students have resumed their studies at S3 level, and 79 students have worked in important positions such as data scientists, business intelligence analysts, and software engineers (software engineer).
Student CUHK (SZ) will find many opportunities in this field as the demand for professional statistics advanced positions is soaring.

To get your daily deals in order, you could create reminders on your computer or smartphone to notify you when deals expire.
If you plan on making the most of daily deals websites, it may help if you get yourself organised. People who take daily deals sites seriously organise all of their favourite daily deals by expiration date to ensure that nothing is missed. If you would never have bought a product based on a review in the first place, are you really getting a good deal by making a saving on something you don't want?
Take hotel discounts for example, if you never planned on taking a trip in the first place, are you really making a saving when you consider travel and food costs? However, some people are so captivated by the great discounts that they wind up spending more than they would have otherwise. To make the best savings on daily deals sites, try to only redeem discounts that you need.

A covered security is exempt from certain state regulations under United States federal law. These securities are traded nationally and exemption streamlines the trading process to make it easier and more efficient to exercise trades, facilitating healthy market conditions. For a security to qualify, it needs to meet some specific criteria, to ensure that securities subject to more regulation aren't inadvertently included in this category. The criteria used to determine if something qualifies as a covered security are subject to update by acts of legislation in the event needs change over time and legislators choose to respond.
The decision to create a covered security category for regulatory purposes was made in 1996 as part of the National Securities Market Improvement Act. This legislation amended the Securities Act of 1933, a landmark piece of legislation passed in response to concerns about US financial markets and the Great Depression. Changing the original legislation provided room for new financial products and modes of doing business that were no longer adequately covered under the 1933 law.
These securities are traded on a national stock exchange overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, securities considered equal or in seniority to those that are considered covered under this standard also meet the requirements, as do those issued by certain investment companies, and those bought by qualified purchasers. This term is defined by the SEC, allowing streamlined trades for institutional and certain other investors who are able to assess risk and take on more complex financial products than average investors.
Covered securities are not subject to state registration requirements, although federal law still holds. This can make it easier to trade a covered security on a national level, as investors primarily need to concern themselves with federal regulations. At a brokerage or investment firm, legal staff members may take care of these issues on behalf of the company, allowing traders to focus on actually executing trades. Individuals need to make sure they adhere to the laws pertaining to trading activity to avoid fines or other problems.
If investors are not sure about whether something is a covered security, they can check the documentation. This is also of concern to issuers, who may handle their securities differently depending on their status. Securities exempt from state regulations may be more freely traded and marketed, as long as the company conforms with national requirements designed to protect investors and the public.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Now what? Well, now, we're putting finishing touches on a few things on our website. Airside are designing a micro-site for Shandy, complete with a lush animation and With Associates (our genius back-end guys…and gals) are helping us figure out the more complex end of PayPal. Who knew it could be quite that complex.
As it turns out, Jon Gray (from Gray318, who's designing the cover for our second book, Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer) happens to work in the same building as With Associates. So when we popped by to say hello and started to tell him all about PayPal antics, he smiled and said, "I thought you just clicked on a button to buy books." To which we said, "Yes, exactly! So did we!"
But fear not, those "coming soon" buttons will soon be replaced with "buy now" buttons and we'll be opening up those boxes of books before you know it.

As soon as you begin the exhilarating vertical ascent you will understand why flying by helicopter is seen as the most glamorous and exciting way to travel - there really is nothing else like it! You will fly over Selby Abbey via Bishops Wood and will be able to admire breath-taking views from your vantage point; don't forget your camera, because this is an experience you will want to remember forever! You'll then head to the beautiful and ancient city of York where you will hover over all the sights including The Walls, The Ouse and The Minster - to name just a few! At a height of about 1,500 feet you will be able to enjoy a wonderful bird's eye view of the city and all its splendour. Afterwards you'll head west to another famous Roman Settlement, Tadcaster; keep your eyes peeled for the three breweries located here - and if you're lucky you might even be able to smell the hops! The last leg will take you over Wetherby Racecourse before flying along the Great North Road back to the centre.
So whether you're looking for an exciting activity to share with friends or want to surprise a loved one with a unique experience gift, nothing about this brilliant York helicopter tour will disappoint!

On Sunday Bard College offered a free preview of A Proust Sonata: 7 tableaux en musique at the LUMA Theater. Conceived and directed by Sarah Rothenberg, who plays the piano during this dramatic mix of music and monologue on the life of Marcel Proust, with a script lifted from excerpts of Proust's poems and his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time (as well as the memoirs of Celeste Albaret, Monsieur Proust), we witness memorial hagiography of writer as martyr to the profession of scribbling ink. Henry Stram plays Proust with exactitude, aplomb, and finesse, while Nancy Hume engagingly doubles as devout maid Céleste and drawing-room sophisticate Francoise.
Tenor Nicholas Phan held forth with ardent solos, Rothenberg accompanying. Rothenberg was especially accomplished in her solo performance of Maurice Ravel's Une barque sur l'océan, a Debussy-like cascading piece that reveled in ocean waves. Violinist Boson Mo ably accompanied Rothenberg on several numbers. A string quartet composed of Brenna Hardy-Kavanagh on first violin, Andres Rivas on second violin, Omar Shelly on viola, and Andrew Borkowski on cello melded together in "A View of Delft," a movement from Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet in F major no. 16, op, 135. Bed-ridden, Proust sometimes hired a quartet to perform for him in his house; two of those musicians wrote memoirs, so we know Proust most often listened to quartets by Beethoven, Fauré, and Franck (whose reputation appears to have somewhat dimmed over the past thirty years). Fauré's song "Ici-bas!" served as a refrain in both acts and his Violin Sonata no. 1 in A major, op.13 was a real treat to hear.
The two-and-a-half hour program was the culmination of a one-week workshop at Bard in preparation for the program's premiere in Houston three weeks away. The style of Proust's famous seven-volume autobiographical novel has deep roots in Jean-Jacque Rousseau's last work, Reveries. (A Proustian digression: I once attended a festschrift banquet for a noted mentor of mine during which I conversed with a Yale French literature teacher who waxed eloquent on Paul Valery while expressing great disappointment in the current neglect of Valery in America, saying the next time he went to France he would make a respectful pilgrimage to Valery's grave to shed a few tears. I replied that Americans were content with Valery's imitator, Wallace Stevens, but if I were to make a pilgrimage to a French writer's grave, I would make a pilgrimage to the grave of Jean-Jacques Rousseau—upon which he turned from me in anger, saying he would no longer converse with me, later arriving at my dinner table and filching a bottle of wine before my plate, saying that he and his entourage had greater need of the bottle than I. Yet I've endured more rudeness than that from other Ivy League professors.) Proust was France's syntactical Homer; Albert Einstein and Proust led James Joyce into the multi-layered linguistic puzzles and puns that comprise Finnegans Wake.
The production at Bard presented a marvelous integration of elegant words, fin de siècle poetry, and dreamy period music that culminated in the noted Epicurean allegory of the tea and madeleine from Proust's early volume Du côté de chez Swann which recalls the exfoliating and echoing domestic pleasure of childhood among the elite 1%.

Chapter 82: Promise of Ten Years
By the time Xiao Chen woke up, the sun was high in the sky and it was already noon.
"I forced myself too much. I estimate that I am going to need three days of rest in order to fully recover. I have exhausted too much of my blood essence," Xiao Chen got up and massaged his Taiyang Acupoint as he headed toward the gates of the Xiao Residence.
[TL notes: The Taiyang Acupoint is at the side of the forehead.]
When the two guards watching the gates saw Xiao Chen appear, they immediately ran over saying joyfully, "Second Young Master, you finally returned. The Clan head has been looking for you the whole morning. You better go to the great hall quickly."
Xiao Chen was startled, They were looking for him for the whole morning... There must be something urgent. After saying his thanks, he rushed over to the great hall.
At this moment, most of the people had already gone, leaving only Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong behind. Xiao Chen immediately rushed over and said, "My apologies. I'm late."
Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen with doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Why is your complexion so poor? Where did you go, and what did you do last night? I heard that you were in Yulan's room, and only came out very late."
Xiao Qiang, who was standing beside him, looked at Xiao Chen with a stunned face. It was obvious he wanted an answer too. Xiao Chen's current appearance looked as though he had performed a certain act. Furthermore, with his previous reputation, it was difficult for people to not think of that.
Xiao Chen felt ashamed in his heart and hurriedly explained, "First Elder, please do not misunderstand. Last night, after chatting with Yulan, I left immediately. The reason why my complexion is so poor is because something went wrong with my cultivation."
"Never mind. That is not important. The reason why I called you here was to discuss the matter of the Promise of Ten Years' duels." Xiao Xiong saw that Xiao Chen wanted to continue to explain himself, thus, he interrupted him.
Seeing the First Elder's expression, Xiao Chen really wanted to explain in detail the events of the previous night. However, since Xiao Xiong said that, he did not dare to carry on explaining.
Xiao Xiong continued, "You should be familiar with the rules of the Promise of Ten Years' duels. The participants that were selected can no longer be changed. Xiao Jian and Xiao Yulan are unable to participate in the duels. If this is too much pressure for you, I will not force you to do this."
"I am not just saying some words of formalities. Even if we lose Seven Horn Mountain, we can still get it back in the future. I hope you will consider carefully before you give me an answer. After all, you are my son," Xiao Xiong's words were sincere, and did not contain any hypocrisy.
Xiao Chen considered in his heart for awhile before saying, "I will not give up. Regardless of the situation, I must make an attempt."
He had already made his decision in his heart. Regardless of the results of the Promise of Ten Years, he was planning to leave the Xiao Clan. if he left the Xiao Clan without doing anything, he would not feel at peace in his heart.
Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen with a profound gaze before slowly saying, "Come with me. First Elder, please come along as well. It is time we used the wealth that the Xiao Clan has accumulated in the past few hundred years."
Xiao Qiang's heart trembled. He knew where they were going. The expression on his face turned solemn and respectful.
Xiao Chen followed the two of them, and travelled for quite a distance. Along the way, they used secret passages that were hidden behind objects and obstacles.
Xiao Chen had even been to some of these places before. He just never discovered the secret passages. It was a completely different world behind them. Finally, the two people in front stopped before the doors to an underground room.
Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong each took out a key part and combined them together to form a single key. They used this key to open the door to the underground room. Then, Xiao Chen followed both of them inside.
The underground room was actually a secret treasury. The harvests that the Xiao Clan obtained over the past hundreds of years were all stored here. There were Spirit Weapons, Secret Treasures, Battle Armors, Medicinal Pills, Martial Techniques... Everything that was needed could be found here.
Xiao Chen was shocked in his heart, he had not expected there to be such a large treasury underneath the Xiao Residence. The Spirit Weapons here were all Profound Ranked, the highest of which was Superior Grade. There were also many profound Ranked Martial Techniques, as well as many Grade 4 and Grade 5 Medicinal Pills.
However, Xiao Chen possessed the Lunar Shadow Saber ( considered to be a heavenly weapon), the Wooden Carving that was comparable to a high grade Secret Treasure, and the Martial Technique inheritance of the Thunder Emperor. To the other members of the Xiao Clan, the items in the treasury would cause them to go wild with joy. However, Xiao Chen was not very interested in them.
Xiao Xiong picked up a set of Battle Armor and said, "As for Martial Techniques and Spirit Weapons, you should not be lacking. This Profound Ranked Battle Armor is made from the soft skin of a Demonic Beast's abdomen. In times of danger, this could save your life."
Xiao Chen took the Battle Armor and looked it over. This Battle Armor was extremely thin; it was only a little thicker than normal clothing, and it would not hinder his movements when worn.
This is a pretty good item, Xiao Chen thought joyfully in his heart. It was difficult to purchase this kind of Battle Armor in the market, and it was also something that Xiao Chen needed.
"Alright, as for the other thing, they would probably not catch your attention," Xiao Xiong paused for a while, looking at Xiao Chen before continuing, "Just simply choose a few items. Consider them your compensation."
Xiao Chen did not reject, and casually selected a few items. After he wore the Battle Armor on his body, he left the place.
Six days of time went by quickly, and the duels of the Promise of Ten Years were finally officially starting.
In the past six days, Xiao Chen researched the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique. Most of his current Martial Techniques were learned as a result of the Battle Sage Origin's Changing Character Formula. It was difficult for him to comprehend the essence behind them.
However, he had the complete manual of the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique. Of course, he had to do his best to learn everything within it with the remaining time available, especially the Rushing Thunder Third Chain Chop; its might was close to that of an Earth Ranked Martial Technique.
Just as the sky turned bright, Xiao Chen quickly got up. The Xiao Clan's people were already gathered at the entrance. When Xiao Xiong saw that Xiao Chen arrived, he immediately brought the group to depart for Cultivator's Plaza.
The annual Martial Competition of Mohe City had already started three days ago. However, everyone knew that the true highlight was the Promise of Ten Years, the battle of Mohe City's three great clan.
There was a huge crowd in the plaza, and the people of the three great clans moved closely to each other as they made their way through the crowds. On the platform in the plaza three pavilions were constructed specially for the three great clans; they were able to see the entire plaza from it.
"The Xiao Clan's people are here. Wasn't it said that two of their participants were injured and cannot participate? Why do they still dare to show their faces here?"
"Look at the dark expressions on their faces. Looks like the news of two of their participants being injured is true. Are they just here to try their luck?"
"You know what? Xiao Chen is not injured, so the Xiao Clan still has hope."
"Xiao Chen? No matter how strong he is, he is not able to stand against the tactic of several persons taking turns in fighting him to tire him out. I think the Xiao Clan is bound to lose."
The varied discussions of the crowd all entered into the ears of the Xiao Clan's people, causing their dark expression to turn even more sullen.
"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time. You finally came out of isolation!" Just as the Xiao Clan's people were about to ascend to their pavilion, the Zhang Clan Head and Tang Clan Head walked over.
Xiao Xiong smiled indifferently, "Indeed, it's been a long time. Tang Tian, the alliance of the Zhang Clan and the Leng Clan was within my expectations. I did not expect that you would be involved as well."
Tang Tian smiled coldly, "We can't let Seven Horn Mountain remain monopolized by an outsider clan."
The Zhang Clan Head opened his mouth to speak, "Xiao Xiong, we are not here for a casual chit chat. We are here to discuss something with you. We have a suggestion for you to consider."
"How about we resolve the hundreds of years of grudges between our clans? As long as Xiao Chen can defeat Tang Feng and Zhang He today, then the remaining four people will not come out to battle. We will consider it as the Xiao Clan's victory."
Xiao Xiong's brain worked very hard as he thought about this. The Zhang Clan Head meant that he would send only two people to battle with Xiao Chen, but the condition was that both the battles had to occur today.
Their intentions were clear. They wanted to use the tactics of exhausting Xiao Chen, to not give him the opportunity to rest. However, this meant that he could fight four battles less.
When Xiao Chen heard this suggestion, his eyes brightened and joy filled his heart. He did not have many Martial Techniques, and if he were to fight too many battles it would become apparent to his opponents. This fit Xiao Chen's intentions perfectly.
Seeing Xiao Chen nodding his head in the dark, Xiao Xiong said, "What a joke! You think that I would agree to this? After getting the Leng Clan to injure our Xiao Clan's participants, you come up and give me such a suggestion? Do you think that I, Xiao Xiong, am a fool?"
Tang Tian smiled, "Xiao Xiong, do you think you have any other choice? This is the best scenario for you already. From six battles being reduced to two battles, I don't see any need for you to reject this."
The Zhang Clan head said, "Brother Xiao, I have already sent for someone to call the City Lord over, so think about this carefully."
After a few moments, Dugu Feng arrived, and when he saw Xiao Xiong he hurriedly said, "Congratulations Brother Xiao on coming out from your secluded training. I heard that two of your participants are injured, is this true?"
Without waiting for Xiao Xiong to reply, Tang Tian put forth his suggestion to Dugu Feng. After Dugu Feng heard the suggestion, he muttered to Xiao Xiong, "According to the rules of the competition, once the participants are selected they cannot be changed. Xiao Xiong, if two of your participants truly cannot participate, how about you accept this suggestion?"
Finally, under Dugu Feng's suggestion, Xiao Xiong was 'pressured' into accepting this suggestion. Xiao Chen, who was standing at the stand, wiped the sweat off his forehead. The acting skills of Xiao Xiong were too realistic, even he was almost fooled.
Dugu Feng stood on the top of the tallest arena in Cultivator's Plaza. Facing the crowd he said, "Today is the final day of the Martial Competition. I believe that most of you are here for the competition of the Promise of Ten Years. Now, I would like to announce something."
"Because two of the Xiao Clan's participants were injured and cannot take part in the competition, after some discussion, the three clans decided to change the rules at the last minute. As long as Xiao Chen of the Xiao Clan can consecutively defeat Zhang He and Tang Feng, the Xiao Clan will be considered to have won the duels. As long as they lose just one of the matches, they will lose their rights to Seven Horn Mountain."
"To think that the news of two participants of the Xiao Clan being unable to participate is true," someone below said in shock.
"Haha, this alteration may seem advantageous to the Xiao Clan, but actually they are planning to use the tactic of tiring out Xiao Chen. Looks like the Tang Clan and Zhang Clan have formed an alliance."
"Indeed, I heard that the Xiao Clan suffered from the attack of some experts in the middle of the night. I suspect that the two clans were the culprits behind that."
"How stupid are you? Why is there even a need to suspect it? There is no need to think about it; it was definitely done by the two clans."
Endless discussions and arguments entered into Xiao Chen's ears, but his heart remained as calm as still water as he slowly walked past the crowd and headed towards the arena. The shadow of the Tianwu Emperor statue was cast over the arena, giving the arena an additional solemn feel.
I have to win today's battle. I will not become a stepping stone for others. After ten thousand years, I will be like the Tianwu Emperor, standing tall and towering over others without falling, Xiao Chen muttered to himself in his heart.
When he neared the arena, Xiao Chen pushed off gently with his feet and landed stably on the arena. As he did this, his eyes were resolute. In the other corner, Zhang He had been waiting for a while. His gaze was cold.
The first battle of the Promise of Ten Years officially begins!

Here's the exposition strip we've all come to know and love. To say Gil isn't up for this is an understatement, as evidenced by his half-hearted attempt to slit his own throat.
Alright, let's get down to it. Nobody's heard of these two jabronis before because they were soccer players. As we know in the Thorpiverse, playing soccer gets you nowhere and gives you ideas that you can do other things. Then again, maybe that's the concussions talking. Maybe Heather Burns took one too many balls to the head and that made her think she could be
a trainer a tight end The Quarterback Whisperer. I seem to recall a whole story arc revolving around concussions and their impact. Oh yeah, that was a football arc. Since we're talking soccer here it's only worth one panel.
The Real Wilson Casey was a star tennis player. This could easily have been a summer tennis arc but that would have warped our fragile little minds.
There have been many Tony Pauls. I'd like to think this one is a shout-out to the industrial designer, but more than likely it's to the Detroit News sportswriter, given the Michigancentricity of Rubin's world.
John Jawor wears the same middle-aged white guy face that Del Bader, Wildcat Maris, Father of True Standish, and countless other middle-aged white guys in Milford have worn. Wouldn't it have been more interesting if Whigham had drawn him to look more like the real John Jawor?
On that note, here's an interview with The Real John Jawor. Maybe it'll be more interesting than this August plot. One thing's for sure: The Real John Jawor would've told those kids to keep their elbows straight by now.

When I first heard about the Raspberry Pi, a $35 computer that can run Linux, I was mildly impressed. My first problem was that I did not understand Linux, and my second problem was that I couldn't figure out a need for a computer this inexpensive. Like all of my other projects, it was just a matter of time before I figured out that not only did I need to have this computer, but that I would find the perfect use for such a device.
Since I had missed the original order date for the Pi, I was either doomed to wait 10+ weeks for one to ship, or I would have to purchase one on E-bay. I debated going with a Gumstix computer instead, but finally settled on an unopened Pi being sold on E-bay. A few days later, I had a Pi to play with. Continue Reading

I thought the flavor was great a bit too much red pepper next time I will add Zuchini and yellow squash in place of some of the red pepper.
If you love veggie's (esp. roasted), this is divine! Beautiful, tasty, healthy. I made enough to last for two more lunches, and I'm so glad. Of course I modified according to what I had on h...
The flavor of the veggies is much more interesting when you roast them on the grill. And basil pesto works really well in lieu of the tapenade.
This recipe is delicious and healthy for those who prefer low cholesterol dishes. I added chopped grilled chicken to boost its appeal.
I love roasted veggies and this was a great way to use them. I did add other veggies too- was great with squash,onion,asparagus,shrooms,red pepper and baby carrots. Tapenade I had was a bit sour...
YUMMMY!!!! I added Fresh basil, dry roasted garlic & cooked chicken thigh pieces to this & MY family Raved about it.
My carnivore hubby and I both agreed that is was amazing. I sliced up cauliflower, broccolli, asparagus, tomatoes, red peppers, onions and summer squash, then drizzled the veggies with EVOO and...
I loved this one. Well worth the work. Took me more than 15 minutes to prep, though.

This was our first holiday just the three of us, going somewhere we had not been before.
We had never been camping before, well we had, individually with friends, never together with a baby! Big worry right there. I was panicking over Zach's allergy and whether there'd be a shop nearby for allergy friendly foods, whether there would be cutlery and pots and pans and plates… A real holiday killer from the off.
We arrived, a little early for our accommodation, so we decided to head out. There was a supermarket, not big but big enough less than a mile away, with vanilla soy milk for Zach's morning muesli (Phew). When we got back, we were taken to our accommodation – fully equipped (warning: no tea towels) (Phew). Zach had his own room with a baby cot, a baby bath, a high chair and door and patio guards so he couldn't get out (Phew). The onsite takeaway pizza was good (however, allergies aren't catered for). The staff were friendly, always saying hello, smiling even on the one rainy day we had. The campsite itself had a few different swimming pools which were great and never felt overcrowded. The beach was across the road at 300m. There were kids clubs and activities which seemed to be a hit. The best thing (now I am feeling old), there was little to no noise at night. The bar closed around 11pm or midnight, I can't quite remember. It was very family orientated.
We are looking at going back next year!

Eating disorder
Eating disorder is a name for three disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Eating Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). Think of the picture of a very thin woman you saw when you were nine years old. This is Anorexia Nervosa. It is characterized by the patients unwillingness to eat and obsessiveness with training and eating low calorie food. Bulimics may have normal weight or even be fat, but still have an unhealthy relationship with food. They have periods where they binge eat tons of high calorie food and then try to excrete it quickly, most often by puking. A person can both be diagnosed with anorexia nervosa and bulimia at the same time. Those suffering from Eating Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS), has some sort of abnormal relationship to their eating. However, their symptoms does not match the criteria of neither Anorexia Nervosa nor Bulimia.
Anorexia Nervosa
Your mom says OMG LULZ BARBQ DON'T 'SHOP THE MAGAZINES SO GIRLS GET THIN!. This is because she only reads one type of books. However, there is no conclusive evidence that magazines, or even a thinness ideal, causes eating disorders. Anorexia Nervosa was first diagnosed at least 100 years ago, long before any Cosmopolitan-like magazines existed.
No case of anorexia or bulimia is entirely the same as the other. But that does not mean there is no common pattern. No one would ever say that migraine does not exist because because migraine sufferers syndrome's differ.
Anorexia Nervosa often begins with the patient being in a stressful situation wherein she is trying to perform very well in a lot of things. A typical soon to be anorectic is a young woman who is overly ambitious in school or in extracurricularly activities such as sports. She may spend very much time studying or training. Almost all of it is dedicated to these goals. During some part of this stage she often becomes a vegetarian. The reason for this she gives is that she is an environmentalist and that she cares about the welfare of the animals. In truth she wants to feel better about her bodily image. She will try to make you feel guilty about the fact that you are eating meat. The strategy of anorectics all along is to try to put the blame on someone else by making them feel guilty in whatever way possible. In a certain amount of time, maybe a couple of years, her self-imposed eating restrictions escalates. She starts purchasing light products and begins a radical slim diet. Maybe she becomes a vegan. She quickly greatly loses weight in a period that lasts a handful of months. It is usually then she becomes so thin that a family member notices. By that time, she already is suffering from Anorexia Nervosa.
One question you can ask yourself is: Why does anorectics put themselves in these situations? Sure, some are driven by outward pressure such as Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden who had an eating disorders in her teens, but is now fully recovered (alltough a person truly never becomes recovered from an eating disorder because it may return). But most anorectics has, at least in some sense of the word, voluntarily put themselves in a highly stressful situation. Besides the thinness ideal theory mentioned earlier, there are other explanations why that is.
- Before the outbreak 16 year old girls, and other young women, may have been severely overruled by their parents. Not your parents. They made you take piano lessons or play baseball or do whatever each week. This happened for the sole reason that they wanted to live their failed life through you. But there are even more demanding parents, who insist on that their children shall become master musicians when they are kids.
- Parents can also indirectly make their daughter an anorectic. Children in general take after their parents. Especially the parent they share gender with. So if the mother is a overambitious workaholic, her daughter will be too.
- According to Wikipedia one fourth of all anorectics has asperger's syndrome. (SERIOUSLY) So it might have been genetics all along.
Bulimia may develop during or after the onset of Anorexia Nervosa. Persons with Anorexia Nervosa does not necessarily develop Bulimia. It can take years before a full fledged bulimic disorder is discovered. This is because bulimics hide their symptoms from their loved ones. They may binge eat in public transport when no one they knows notices, and puke in public toilets. Bulimia is often developed in adolescence. If you discover a bulimic, scream "Puberty puker! ". If she is an oldfag, scream "Pubertal puker!" instead.
Overeating is the most disgusting eating disorder, visually speaking. See fat for more info.
|This information is important so pay attention!
So you suspect someone is suffering from Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia. But now what, what the fuck do you do? Go to the doctor off course. He probably is an assclown, who can't diagnose shit. Therefore visit a specialized psychiatrist instead, who can diagnose like a boss. If the patient is too thin she may be admitted to a hospital clinic were someone forces her to eat. Don't suspect the government will have an eating plan for her when she gets out though. The government and your insurance company will probably not to be your allies in this plight.
Obstacles to overcome
- Don't blame yourself. Even if it is your fault that your daughter developed an eating disorder, blaming yourself will not make anything better. It will only play into her strategy to make you feel guilty.
- Read a book What you probably want to get is a step by step guide to on how to overcome anorexia. Typically they are about overcoming the fear of eating by gradual exposure. Books are way better than humans because they are not afflicted by unwarranted self importance (though some authors are), are not jew gold-diggers and know when to STFU.
- Demand help from your government and insurance company. They may initially be reluctant to assist you. But there usually is some not well known law that is made specifically to help you in a situation like this. If it is about your insurance companies decision, overrule it! Libtards from California believe that in Europe the government sweeps in and gives aid to the poor and downtrodden. This is not true. It is only those who have the right contacts or know the government lingo that get to participate in most government programs. Therefore, become one of them, or at least bluff that you are. Threaten with the laws that are made for you. Remember that it is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease!
- Get professionals. A person with an eating disorder needs professional help. The sooner she gets it, the better is the prognosis. There are different types of treatments. Some may work well for one patient, but poorly for another. There are many shitty, although specialized, practitioners out there. How do you spot them? Ask about the overarching plan for your daughter: "What did you base your decision on?" "How many patients have been treated this way?" "What were the results?" "Is this standard procedure for professionals in your area? "Is there published data supporting this procedure?" Even if you don't know anything about the treatment, asking may help you spot a witch doctor. The only way to make sure that the patient gets a good treatment is that you yourself is knowledgeable about it. For example, you must read literature about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy if you want to grasp that subject.
- Set up an united front. Once a course of action is decided on, it must appear as if parents, professionals and possible others involved in the treatment are an united team. Otherwise, the treatment will not work. Criticism and other disagreements should be dealt with away from the patient's eyes and ears.
Atkins Diet
A system of eating only small Atkinses, invented to turn all the world's fatties into Atkins-zombies. The Atkins company recently went bankrupt, to the dismay of jealous, fat fucktards everywhere.
Atkins Zombie
A less useful type of zombie that is only as common as it is because the basic resource needed to make them, fat people, is so abundant. Long-term Atkins-zombies eventually lose the use of their natural teleportation powers and are forced to rely on their offensive odor to defend themselves from predators. You can see Atkins dieters on LiveJournal, but don't get too close because you too are a source of lo-carbs.
Brain Eating
- Q: Hi! I've been on the Atkins diet for three months, now. I've bought several books and read them all, but I'm still not sure about one point. Can I still eat brains?
- A: Yes you can! That's what makes the Atkins diet so much better than all the others. You can eat all the brains you want! Masturbation is also good and is negative calories
Eating Disorders As A Drama-Generating Technique
Here are some suggestions for generating drama through eating disorders, with examples where applicable:
- Announce you have an eating disorder while you have another disorder. Gurlfriend was excellent at this, as she was anorexic and pregnant.

Imagine this: You open an e-mail that seems to come from Google, prompting you to click a link to reset your password. But when you click, a mysterious .exe file downloads and launches. Slowly, all the files on your desktop turn into white paper icons, and the names of all your files turn into scrambled nonsense.
What is happening here? Unfortunately, you've probably fallen victim to a ransomware attack.
The threat defined
Ransomware, as defined by Trend Micro, is "a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their system . . . unless a ransom is paid." Although the term may be new to you, ransomware attacks happen every day. In fact, according to Kaspersky Lab's Securelist, 2.3 million Internet users encountered ransomware between April 2015 and March 2016, and Armada Cloud reports that the volume of attacks grew by 13 percent between August and October 2016.
In the event that a ransomware attack happens to you, it's likely that something much like the scenario mentioned above will unfold. Here's an example of what you might see on your computer screen:
Now what?
So, do you pay the ransom or simply wait for the countdown to end? Before deciding, you might try searching online for a free tool that can decrypt your files. But keep in mind that the chances of success are extremely slim. Even if a solution to a previous type of ransomware is available, attackers learn from their mistakes and have likely used a more advanced form of the scheme on you.
You might also consider calling law enforcement. Unfortunately, there's very little that the FBI, for example, can do to resolve an individual ransomware incident. But reporting the crime can help put it on the authorities' radar, so they can work on a solution for future cases.
Most of the time, it all comes down to two choices: either you pay the ransomware fee or you don't.
You pay. One bitcoin equals $778 (at the time of this writing), so paying the ransom may be worth it to you, depending on what those files contain. You hit the Next button and follow the instructions to pay your attacker. What happens now?
You don't pay. Maybe you think the attacker is bluffing. (Hint: If you can't access your files, the attacker isn't bluffing.) Or maybe you've decided that the price tag for your data is too high.
The best strategy: be prepared!
In the end, it's your decision. It all depends on how much you think your data is worth, as well as how much you trust that the attackers will stick to their end of the bargain. To give you some insight into the choices others are making, a recent Symantec report found that only 3 percent of victims pay the ransom.
Fortunately, there are three relatively simple precautions you can take to prevent such a costly scenario.
1) Back up your data regularly. Let's say that you back up your files every Sunday night. If you receive a ransomware threat on—worst-case scenario—a Sunday afternoon, you'll lose only a week's worth of data. If you would like to start backing up your files, you'll have to take the time to devise your own schedule and method. When establishing a backup plan, remember to keep these two things in mind:
2) Be wary of phishing. Approximately 91 percent of cyber attacks start as phishing scams, according to Wired. When checking e-mail, remember to:
3) Update your systems ASAP. Attackers know the vulnerabilities of yesterday's technology. The longer you avoid regular updates, the more time attackers have to exploit those vulnerabilities.
Most of us haven't experienced ransomware, but as the number of attacks increases, so does the probability of becoming a victim. If the day comes when it does happen to you, will you have a plan for handling the situation?

The stars of Edinburgh Rugby are used to taking some hard knocks, but they had a whole new challenge yesterday when they took on selling The Big Issue for INSP's #VendorWeek.
Rugby players Nasi Manu and Allan Dell joined a competitive team of lawyers and CEOs in the Scottish capital, as part of INSP's international celebration of street papers and their vendors.
Nasi and Allan formed a friendly rivalry as they tried to out-do each other in sales on opposite sides of Edinburgh's Castle Street.
But despite starting out confident, and towering over most passers-by, the pair admitted to feeling ignored by the public. Even after serenading and sweet-talking prospective customers, they sold just seven copies between them.
"Local vendor George was trying to get me to dance around. He didn't teach me the dance moves though so I didn't attempt it!" said Allan, originally from South Africa.
"It was very hard. People would just walk past. This teaches you to actually give people the time of day. Just giving people some chat or a smile will put a smile on the vendors' faces."
Nasi, from New Zealand, agreed that the experience was eye-opening. HSo much so that it's encouraged him to become a regular Big Issue customer.
"I definitely will buy it more now after this," said Nasi.
"These are people who are trying to do something with their lives – get a job and support themselves. I think just stop and talk. If that's all you can do then do that and if you can you should definitely buy one and help them out."
In Manchester, actress Maxine Peake sold Big Issue North for an hour alongside her regular vendor Monica, who she has known for a few years.
She said: "It was really hard. People ignoring you and blanking you is quite a difficult thing. It was quite soul destroying in some ways."
All participants said the experience gave them an increased respect for the 11,000 hardworking vendors currently selling street papers around the world.
Lorna Jack, CEO of The Law Society of Scotland, said that even though she managed to sell nine copies of the magazine, it was difficult to engage everyone.
"Vendors really do a difficult thing and if I had a message to anyone it would be to at least engage them in conversation don't look away. A polite 'no thank you' is enough," she said.
Earlier this week, Geoff Aberdein, from investment group Aberdeen Asset Management, received support from his former boss, Alex Salmond, Scotland's former First Minister, on social media.
He said he greatly admired the role INSP street papers play around the world.
"I think we're in a world now where media is losing its personal interaction, it's all done online, over twitter or social media and I think you shouldn't lose sight of that the greatest thing about media was originally that it had interaction with real people. Anything we can do to restore that should be welcomed," he said.
Despite starting out slow, Duncan Osler, Vice Chair of Social Enterprise Scotland, sold nine copies of the magazine on Princes Street. He said he admires the enterprising work of both street papers and the vendors they support.
"It was a very real experience and it makes you think about how it must be to actually be a vendor, because people can go past you and ignore you as if they don't see you or they can give you a warm smile and be polite.
"It was good to get to put myself in the shoes of someone who is a vendor and think about what homelessness is and raise a bit of money to support people who need a bit of help," he said.
Cally Russell, founder of hugely successful shopping app Mallzee, used his marketing and sales experience to sell an impressive 14 copies. He was also impressed by the unique role street papers play in helping vendors around the world.
"I think the greatest definition of how a society should be judged is on how it treats those less fortunate. Street papers like The Big issue are a great example of that," he said.
"A big part of this was meeting the guys selling The Big Issue and how excited and passionate they were about it. It's not that they are just taking a handout, they are going out there and they are working hard for what they are getting.
"When you give people a sense of community and a sense of being, everyone being together around something, then it makes it so much more powerful. Instead of it just being a job, it becomes a calling, which is great."
The events in the UK are part of a worldwide celebration. You can follow – and join in – the conversation on social media with the hashtag #VendorWeek.
#VendorWeek 2016 runs until Sunday 7 February. Donate to support INSP here.
