It's a salary cap era in the new NHL. New NHL? Counting by lockouts, this would be at least the third "new" NHL. Of course, as the history books will be written, the largest change was in 2005, when the NHL instituted the salary cap. A limit by which rich teams cannot spend more money on payroll than other teams who do not bring in the same amount of revenue. The cap is supposed to be a way to limit teams, by handcuffing them at a fixed payroll, thus leveling the playing field. No longer can teams like the New York Rangers, of the early 2000's, spend mad money, even though those teams inevitably failed to produce.
So what happens when teams have no cap? It really only happens once every four years, and on a national stage no less. The Olympics allow National teams to handpick their players from all over the planet and make the best team they see possible without restriction to how much money a player makes, in whatever league he plays in.
Sounds like a lot of fun, right? It is. Fans across the world get together, months before the games, to pick their teams and discuss ideas with their friends the same way the general managers of the teams do. The GMs, however, actually have tough decisions to make while fans can argue over who the thirteenth forward will be all night and day if they'd like. The freedom to choose whoever they want must be a luxury to these general managers who are usually in fear of surpassing the dreaded cap. What if there were a cap on the Olympic rosters, however? Who are the players that would make a great value to their team at these winter Olympics in Sochi? What players, when put together would give you gold medal aspirations, all the while not costing the GM a truckload of money, not that they have to pay them anyway.
The All-Value Team will comprise of one player at each starting position. A center who can dish and likely bury a few, two wingers who will play both ends of the rink while putting up numbers, two defenseman who can do it all and a goalie who will just have to stand and look pretty because of what is in front of him. Surely he will have to make one or two key saves in a critical situation.
6 Jaroslav Halak, G, St. Louis Blues, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $3.75 Million
Starting from the crease out seems like a great way to go. Much to the chagrin of every Hab fan around the world, the most cost effective goalie in the Olympic tournament would have to be Jaroslav Halak. as the goalie for the Slovakian national team does not cost the St. Louis blues very much on the cap. At a very low cap hit of $3.75 million, Halak has a .915 save percentage and a 2.26 goals against average. Sure he plays behind the rock solid defense of the Blues, who smother you to death and try their very hardest to win games 1-0, but that is not Halak's fault. Ask Montreal Canadiens fans and they will likely tell you that Halak is in fact a great goaltender, who can steal a game. Do not ask them to compare him to Carey Price though! To compare the two, for the sake of this article, Price has a 2.33 goals against and .925 save percentage. Slightly better numbers for the man who may tend Canada's net, however, he costs the Montreal Canadiens almost double what Halak costs the Blues. Therefore, bang for the buck in nets is obvious, Halak is the answer. Competing against the likes of big money goalies like Henrik Lundqvist, Jonathan Quick and Carey Price, Halak takes the edge from a value aspect. Again, take the team he plays for into consideration, but welcome aboard, Mr. Halak.
5 Olli Määttä, D. Pittsburgh Penguins, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $894,167
So, since Halak cannot do it himself, like he basically did in the 2010 playoffs, the All-Value Team is going to need defense. The stay at home type are attractive for an exercise like this because the flashy defensemen make all the cash on the blue-line most of the time. As valuable as those defensemen are, the ones who can do both are really ones that would be worth your hard earned money. The first of the two defenceman hails from Finland and is very capable of putting up points when he can pinch in. At only 19 years of age, Olli Määttä is also a very impressive +12. Dan Bylsma is certainly not afraid to put him out on the ice, as he is averaging about 20 minutes per game. With 23 points on the season so far, he will not stagger anyone with his offensive numbers, but still has a solid offensive upside. His cap hit however is what really pushed him onto our All-Value Team. The Pittsburgh Penguins only have to pay this young man $894,167 this year. With those numbers, that is value you can take to the bank. Lace up those skates Mr. Maatta, your teammates are already on the ice.
4 P.K. Subban, D, Montreal Canadiens, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $2.85 Million
The second defenseman is a little more brash, a little more out there, has a lot more offensive upside and will likely be a key cog in controlling the game from the point. Thanks to a bridge contract, Marc Bergevin is only paying P.K. Subban $2.85 million this season. That opens up the eyes of our All-Value Team to wide proportions. With 39 points this year, he is third in the NHL in points among defensemen, after only Erik Karlsson and Alex Pietrangelo, both of whom make three times as much money. PK Subban is one of those players that every team wants and every team hates to play against. By that logic, if you can have him, you take him.
The price is definitely right for this collection of pure value, so the choice is obvious. The reigning Norris Trophy winner is also the type of player who elevates his game depending on the importance of the game. He cut his teeth with the Canadiens in the midst of a playoff run. He played on the world stage at the World Junior Championships, en route to a gold medal. He does not fear the pressure, and at that price, you can buy a few cool cucumbers but not many can do what PK does on the ice. The downside here is that his plus/minus is only +6, but with Maatta backing him up, our All-Value Team is stacked on the blue-line. No more time to fool around, Mr. Subban, here is your team All-Value Team jersey.
3 Jaromir Jagr, RW, New Jersey Devils, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $2 Million
With those two defensemen, who even needs forwards? OK, the All-Value team does. So what collection of underpaid forwards can push themselves into the top spots on this team?
On the right wing, a veteran hailing from the Czech Republic has won a few Stanley Cups as well as some scoring titles. What more can you ask for? Jaromir Jagr, who is over 40 years of age, is having one heck of a season for the offensively challenged New Jersey Devils. The man is ageless and is currently 26th in league scoring with 49 points. He has more points than many of his younger Olympic counterparts and costs the Devils only $2 million on the cap. That is not a lot of money when you compare him to other right wingers like Marian Hossa, who is having a fairly better year, but is getting paid $5.2 million. Corey Perry, who is also a right winger, is charging the Ducks $8.6 million to have him play for them this season. Yes, he is having a great year, but still only has 11 more points than Jagr. Jaromir Jagr has frozen time and will attempt to take this Olympics by storm and lead the Czech's to a medal. Our All-Value Team would surely save Mr. Jagr's spot on the right wing. He has earned it after all, not only due to his longevity, but due to the fact that even when facing off with men almost half his age, he is not phased, he just flashes those vintage hands, puts the puck in the net, gives a salute and makes fans long for the long haired mullet that ruled the rink almost twenty years ago. Welcome to the team Mr. Jagr, right this way to the locker room.
2 Gabriel Landeskog, LW, Colorado Avalanche, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $925,000
As Jaromir Jagr will surely get caught up ice on a few long shifts that he tends to take, the All-Value Team will need some speed and youth to cover the other side of the rink. His left winger, would have to be a youthful star who can move up and down the ice with ease, as well as put some points on the board when he gets the puck. The answer to that magic formula comes in the form of the 21 year old, Swedish born Gabriel Landeskog. This youthful left winger is everything you want a hockey player to be. Responsible in his own end, with a very impressive +16 rating while playing top line minutes in a very tough Western Conference, and Landeskog also has 48 points which puts him at 30th in league scoring. Doing that at 21 years old is impressive, but doing that in the Western Conference with a team that is not Anaheim, St Louis, or Chicago is near impossible. We simply cannot debate his numbers, as they are incredible. The kicker about Landeskog is his cap hit, as the Colorado Avalanche are paying this star in the making a measly $925,000. He looks so unassuming but he is the captain of the Avalanche for a reason. This was not an easy roster to crack as Chris Kunitz was in the running for this spot on left wing, because at $3 million dollars, Kunitz and his 55 points are a steal. Still not as much of a steal as Landeskog at less than 1 million. I just saw Mr. Jagr go down the hall, Mr. Landeskog, the dressing room is on your left.
1 Joe Pavelski, C, San Jose Sharks, 2013/2014 Cap Hit: $4 Million
The most important position in hockey? Center? Teams who are strong down the middle usually do well. Big men who can dish it, score and make it tough to play against your team are the guys you want playing center, for any hockey team. Centers are not cheap in the NHL ranks and our All-Value team likes cheap. The center who broke free from the pack and gave the GMs of our All-Value Team no choice was born in Plover, WI in the good old U.S.A. and plays for the San Jose Sharks. Joe Pavelski is one of those guys who is just money in the playoffs, when other guys on his team that play center who were traded from Boston (not naming names) go missing. Though he is not an overbearing presence at only 5'11", Pavelski knows how to get the job done. He already has 29 goals this season and 54 points, which has him sitting at 20th in league scoring. He is a +14, on a very good Sharks team mind you, but it still indicates that he is not a defensive liability. His cap hit for the Sharks is a friendly $4 million. The highest paid player on any team is usually a center, and it's no different for our team. His stats put him in the ranks of Toews and Crosby, while he is paid less than half of what they are making. He has the same +/- numbers as Evgeni Malkin, while even having 10 more goals. His game breaking ability is what makes him really attractive to the team, as well as his puny salary. Don't let the money get to your head on this team Mr. Pavelski, all these men are in line for a raise soon.

Nicola Woolcock covers Sutton Trust research on highly able pupils in an article for the Times.
Almost half of children who are bright but poor and excel at primary school fail to go on to get top grade GCSEs, according to a new analysis.
The Sutton Trust education charity found that a class gap had already opened up by the end of primary school. Only 4 per cent of poorer children were in the top 10 per cent academically, compared with 13 per cent of their wealthier classmates.
Even the disadvantaged children who achieved the highest grades in primary school fell behind by the time they took their GCSEs, the report said.
Of the high achievers at primary level, 52 per cent of the poorest ended up with at least five A* and A grades at GCSE, compared with 72 per cent of their better-off classmates. If they had fulfilled their potential, 1,000 more children from disadvantaged families would have got top GCSEs each year.
The trend had an impact on grammar school entry. Poorer, bright pupils were half as likely as high achievers overall to enter a selective school — one in 17 compared with one in eight.

Karachi [Pakistan], Jan 29 (ANI): An inquiry committee has found the District Malir's former senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rao Anwar guilty in the extra-judicial killing in Pakistan.
According to The Express Tribune, a three-man inquiry committee was formed to probe the killing of 27-year-old, Naqeebullah Mehsud.
The team, in its report, cited eyewitness' accounts and said Naqeebullah was 'picked up', along with two others on the suspicion of their linkage with terrorist groups on January 3 by security personnel and taken to the Sachal Police Post before being moved to another location.
On Thursday, Karachi police launched a manhunt to nab Anwar as he was reportedly gone into hiding after he was stopped from travelling abroad on Tuesday.
He was offloaded at Benazir International Airport, Rawalpindi, from a Dubai bound international flight.
"It is confirmed that they are not in their homes and have been gone into hiding. It seems that they are all together but they are trying to dodge investigators by showing their mobile phone locations in various parts of the country," The Express Tribune quoted a senior official privy to the investigations as saying.
"But we are continuously trying to trace their locations. Besides taking technical assistance, we are also using our human intelligence network to trace and arrest them", the official added.
Rao Anwar and other officers are in the dock for killing at least four men, during what they claimed was a raid on a suspected Taliban hideout in Karachi.
Relatives of Naqeebullah from South Waziristan tribal district rejected claims of him having militant links and maintained that he was an aspiring model who had been a resident of Karachi since 2008.
They added that Naqeebullah was looking for a job and had been running a shop in the city.
His killing evoked a national outcry and triggered protest rallies in several cities. (ANI)

Almost everyone complains about email at some point or other – both for its overuse and its susceptibility to viruses, Trojans, phishing and spam. Despite this, it has many virtues – borne out by the fact that over 2.5 billion people now use it. It's free, easy to access, has massive reach and doesn't belong to anyone. It can be used to distribute virtually any type of file (which, of course, is part of the problem) and offers storage and forwarding facilities.
It's likely that any genuine alternative to email would suffer from exactly the same security risks – in fact, existing messaging applications already do. To steer clear of malware users need to take basic precautions – think before clicking/opening.
To avoid email inundation, there are many other messaging systems available – such as SMS texts, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Or just spend a half hour on fine-tuning your email filing and filtering settings, applying labels or tags to facilitate automatic organisation of emails. Another tip is this: in your search field, enter 'unsubscribe' – the results will include all the sales and marketing emails you're currently subscribed to. Simply work your way through the lot, unsubscribing from those you no longer wish to receive.
But at the end of the day, it's probably best to simply paraphrase Winston Churchill's comment on democracy – email is the worst form of communication, except for all the others.

How to Avoid Work From Home Scams
When looking for on-line opportunities to make money or work from home, it is VERY easy to be "scammed".
The people that will mislead you rely on clever wording and psychology – and are looking for the vulnerable people that will fall for their get rich quick schemes. They have no morals, and love the sick or unemployed or anyone with no or very little income – but even if you are just looking for a change in your work, or can't leave home for any reason, then you are just as welcome into the scammers world!
Not all of the websites you come across when searching for making money on-line are scams – these tips are intended to help you decide if it's too good to be true, or a legitimate opportunity.
1. Avoid sites that claim you will make money overnight, or 1,000's of dollars in just a few days. If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is!
2. Research thoroughly. Do you know how adverts work? It would be worth you checking out How To Read An Advert.
3. If you are US based, check for endorsements on the site. eg. the US Chamber of Commerce, Truste.org or the Better Business Bureau.
4. Does the site list any testimonials that have contact information. Testimonials are there for a reason – to help sell whatever the product is. If they have photos of people – do they look genuine? Contact them (email or phone), and wait for a response. If they are genuine, they should have no trouble getting back to you reasonably quickly.
5. Look more into any company or site that catches your eye. If it's legitimate, as a minimum it should have a contact telephone number and a business address listed.
6. Look for real work at home jobs using trusted sources. Searching on-line for "work at home opportunities" will lead you to the scammers. Try looking on Net-Temps.com or similar – and also check for published books on the subject. (link to Amazon page here)
7. Sense Check 1. What types of industry are looking for home workers? There are machines that stuff envelopes – so why would someone claim to want to pay you to do that?
8. Avoid paying anything upfront. When was the last time you applied for a "normal" job and the company said "to apply, you need to send me a cheque for $$$$$". That's right – never – so why should anything on-line be any different? If you have to make an upfront payment for further instructions for example, then steer clear – it's most likely not legitimate!
9. It comes with a money-back guarantee. These guarantees are not worth considering. Remember, these are scammers – they will tell you whatever you want to hear to make you pay up.
10. Don't pay for a program or a system. If you don't have the necessary skills to do something, join a course and learn how to do it. Wealthy Affiliate University offers a number of courses and classes aimed directly at teaching you the skills you need to setup an online business or work from home scheme. You can read my review of WAU by clicking here.
11. Sense Check 2. Think for a second – if it was possible to earn $1000's per week stuffing envelopes, or sending emails – don't you think everyone would have figured that out, and be doing it now?
12. Check Who.Is. You can see some more information about who has registered a domain from this site.
13. Type the website or company name into a search engine. Everyone has access to publish information on-line these days through social networks and blogs. If someone has fallen for a scam, you can be sure it will be published on-line. Search for "website/company name" + "scam" and see what comes up.
14. Avoid pyramid schemes. These are illegal. Learn more about scams here.
15. Sleep on it before "signing up". It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of all of the opportunities to work from home or make money on-line. Give yourself some time (overnight if possible), to allow that excitement to calm down – think about the points above, and make an informed decision on if you have found a genuine opportunity or not. There are legitimate schemes out there – hopefully this post will have helped you spot them more easily.

Get Your Energy Back
Nourish Your Body, Mind & Spirit
You are already a great Mom!
You take such good care of your kids. But you are tired, overwhelmed and consumed with worry.
You worry that you will never fit back into your skinny jeans. You worry that the dark circles under your eyes are permanent.
You worry that you will never get your energy back.
This constant state of worry is draining you & you've been putting the needs of your family ahead of your own.
You would never neglect your kids but you've been neglecting your health.
I've been there. I know what you are going through.
Your kids need a healthy and happy mama. One who can jump on a trampoline with her kids.
One who feels confident in a swimsuit when she takes her kids to the pool.
One who wakes up energized and excited about the day.
You deserve to look and feel fabulous.
It's time to ditch the worry and guilt for not doing enough or knowing enough about nutrition.
Reclaim your energy and nourish your body. This is not about deprivation.
This is a lifestyle approach that involves real food and a simple plan for permanent change.
I know change can be difficult so accountability is always included.
I am here to support you 100% of the way.

Amanda Abbitt, Sales Support Manager for EMEA at Crossware
Did you know that (despite popular opinion) research by Forbes has found email to still be a more effective tool than social media for attracting customers online?
Emails may be considered old fashioned, but in reality, they're still the most widely used and successful marketing channel. Competing with social media channels like Twitter and Instagram has led to regular updates making the humble email an increasingly effective marketing tool. Email marketing today recognizes the value of building your brand – emails should share your company branding, look consistent, be personalized, and display equally well on every device (mobile especially, since everyone is checking their inboxes on their phone).
At the Engage event that took place in Rotterdam on May 2018, I had the pleasure of interviewing Amanda Abbitt, Sales Support Manager for EMEA at Crossware, an international leader in company email signature management. Crossware's flagship product, Crossware Mail Signature, gives users complete control over their company email signatures. They can easily design an attractive and professional email signature and ensure that these are included on every email leaving their company, even those sent from mobile devices.
In our interview, Amanda shares her own strategy on managing the ever increasing number of emails piling into your inbox (though she still admits that a zero inbox is a utopia we may never achieve). Amanda also discussed common email issues and how Crossware Solutions can help to solve these, and finally how to improve corporate emails in a world of increasing competition for attention in an inbox.
Q: Can you tell me something about your company?
A: Crossware's journey began in Denmark with an email signature tool for the IBM Domino platform and other services offered for IBM products. Our founders relocated to New Zealand in 1999 forming a skilled, global team with a passion for email signatures. As the market changed, there became a clear need for a tool to create beautiful, standardized email signatures for Microsoft products – first Exchange, and later, Office 365. We have now been serving our global customers for almost 20 years from our headquarters in New Zealand.
Q: How big is the company more or less?
A: Our team is relatively small but distributed globally. Our development and accounts teams are based in our headquarters in NZ, but we have global offices based in the UK and USA where we look after European and Americas sales and support.
Q: So basically you have different departments spread all over the world.
A: Yes, indeed.
Q: And do you manage all this?
A: It works well. For example, we might receive a support question in the UK. If our support is not available at that time, it will be transferred to the New Zealand support team. There is complete continuity with no waiting time. Everything is done immediately. We make great use of the technologies that we sell. Using Notes and Domino allows us to understand our customer's requirements and challenges better as well as providing a great place for customer records and things like that. And of course lots and lots of emails.
Q: So emails are a big issue for you…
A: I think emails are something huge for every business, I mean they are not going away…there are some areas where it works really well, like ask me a quick question, quick answer. But for most of the cases, this is not enough…so if I get an email from a customer or partner, it does not work like this, because before answering I need to make sure of my answer and that it is stored, so that we can refere to that later…so the very simple way that you can get your email response back into the customer relationship management system is absolutely key…if it is complex or difficult, I just would not do it…so it has to be simple.
Q: And how do you manage all these emails piling up day per day?
A: The trick is not to make them pile up…so generally if it comes from a customer and it requires a response it goes directly into our CRM system. My background is in teaching people how to make effective use of their email. One of the things I used to say is that when you get an email, you need to read, reply or delete, as soon as you can.
The principle is if it is coming into my inbox, there is a reason. I try hard to have a fairly empty inbox. An empty inbox is not realistic, but fairly empty yes, we can do that. And generally, the problem is "my mail box is full, I do not know what is important, I cannot work out what I have to do next…".
Solving this problem is not just about managing your inbox, but also about managing the expectations about how people behave with their emails. If you put me on CC, then there must be a reason, if there is no reason, do not put me as CC just because you are covering your back, that is not appropriate. And if you want me to do something for you, do not put me in the CC field, put me in the TO field, because TO implies an action, the CC means "I am keeping you informed about this". And again if you put in BCC, blind copy, why are you doing it? Is there any specific reason you are correctly hiding a person's email address?
Making sure that if people send you emails in an inappropriate way, you engender your culture within the business to say thanks, but no thanks. It is perfectly polite and professional to say to people "You put me as CC, but I just do not need to know this". And they might not know that you don't need to know because maybe your job has moved on and nobody told them, so they think you are still involved in that project. So managing emails is two things: using the tools and having the right culture around emails.
Q: And in your experience with managing emails and teaching others to do so, have you ever experienced reluctance?
A: Yes, and the behavior with emails and mindset should be encouraged by management. For example, in one organization when you attended the training you got a voucher to use in the café and the right to take half a day from your calendar to try out what you learned. So, people do it in different ways, but it is a combination of technology and culture.
Q: And going back to Crossware, can you tell me something more about what you do, which products does Crossware offer?
A: Crossware Mail Signature is our flagship solution – it addresses five particular challenges that businesses face.
- The first is how you support and enhance your brand in a very noisy world. Everybody is shouting about their brand, logo, colors…and typically what we notice is that companies spend a lot of money in having their website and social media right and then emails go out with "sent from an iPhone" at the bottom of them…this is not professional. One of the drivers to get Crossware Mail Signature is often the marketing and branding within the business because they need to make sure that the correct brand is present and consistent in every channel: emails, social media, website.
- The second issue is about compliance in terms of legal requirements: in Germany you must have the names of the owners of the business at the bottom of the emails, in the UK you have the registration number of the company at the bottom of your email, in Denmark it's different again, so in different parts of the world the rules are different. So, in multinational companies how do you manage that? And this is one of the other reasons people use something like Crossware Mail Signature because we can say: "Ok, for the UK this is what you need to have at the end of your email, while this is what you need for Germany…" offices and so on.
- The next issue is that typically an email between two people implies a level of trust in the relationship already. So every email is an opportunity for a better marketing and advertising and with Crossware what shows up can be very tailored and targeted.
- And in a world where so many emails are sent from mobile devices, you have to update your signature email to fit mobile devices, but some people do and some don't. So, the idea is that you have a consistent branding email signature no matter for which devices, iPhone, Android, whatever.
- And the last thing is about centralizing all this. Let your users do what they do best. Engineers, marketers, accountants, IT people, they are not email signature specialist. So centralized control is important. So with Crossware whether you are using IBM Notes and Domino, Microsoft Office 365, Exchange (on-premises or cloud), you can have a signature on every email that leaves the business.
Q: And how important it is for customers to have the possibility to personalize the email signature?
A: Well it is very, very important. They need a solution that can make it look exactly how they want it to look, which is something Crossware Mail Signature can do, because it is so flexible. And also because emails are not going away. Despite the rise of social media, email is still the most effective form of communication and will continue to be so for a long time. So, let's make sure our emails are consistent and we send out the correct messages we want to convey. This is an added value nowadays!

Lower Risk Of Nearsightedness
Play Outdoors With Your Children
Data from the Sydney Myopia Study, which included reports from the parents of over 4,000 Australian school children, was analyzed in a new study led by Kathryn A. Rose M.D..
In the Sydney Myopia Study, parents reported on the daily activities of their children (age 6 or 12). These activities were classified as either indoor or outdoor, and parents noted whether the activity required the use of near, medium, or distance vision. The refractive error of each child and their parents was also recorded, as well as their ethnicity.
Dr. Rose's study found a correlation between frequent outdoor activity and better vision in the 12 year old children, which was unrelated to the amount of near work. There was also a strong association in the same age group between myopia, less outdoor activity, and high levels of near work. The type of activity was not found to be an important factor.
Myopia is often caused by the eyeball being too long. Due to this increased length, light entering the eye does not focus sharply on the retina, resulting in blurry vision. When stimulated by intense light, the retina of the human eye releases dopamine, which inhibits eye growth, and may help prevent myopia.
In addition, bright light causes the pupil to constrict, allowing sharp vision for a greater range of distance.

Christmas crackers or bon-bons are an integral part of Christmas celebrations in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. They are also popular in Ireland. A cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an oversized sweet-wrapper. The cracker is pulled by two people, and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang or snapping sound produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip (similar to that used in a cap gun).
Crackers are typically pulled at the Christmas dinner table or at parties. In one version of the cracker tradition, the person with the larger portion of cracker empties the contents from the tube and keeps them. In another each person will have their own cracker and will keep its contents regardless of whose end they were in. Typically these contents are a coloured paper hat or crown; a small toy, small plastic model or other trinket and a motto, a joke or piece of trivia on a small strip of paper.
Assembled crackers are typically sold in boxes of three to twelve. These typically have different designs usually with red, green and gold colors. Making crackers from scratch using the tubes from used toilet rolls and tissue paper is a common Commonwealth activity for children. Kits to make crackers can also be purchased.
Crackers are also a part of New Year celebrations in Russia (where they are called хлопушка - khlopushka) and some countries of the former Soviet Union. Those are however more similar to pyrotechnical devices, normally used outdoors, activated by one person, and produce a stronger bang accompanied by fire and smoke.
HistoryThe Oxford English Dictionary records the use of cracker bonbons and the pulling of crackers from the early 1840s. Tradition tells of how Thomas J. Smith of London invented crackers in 1847. He created the crackers as a development of his bon-bon sweets, which he sold in a twist of paper (the origins of the traditional sweet-wrapper). As sales of bon-bons slumped, Smith began to come up with new promotional ideas. His first tactic was to insert mottos into the wrappers of the sweets ( fortune cookies), but this had only limited success.
Smith added the "crackle" element when he heard the crackle of a log he had just put on a fire. The size of the paper wrapper had to be increased to incorporate the banger mechanism, and the sweet itself was eventually dropped, to be replaced by a small gift. The new product was initially marketed as the Cosaque (i.e., Cossack), but the onomatopoeic "cracker" soon became the commonly used name, as rival varieties came on the market. The other elements of the modern cracker, the gifts, paper hats and varied designs, were all introduced by Tom Smith's son, Walter Smith, to differentiate his product from the rival cracker manufacturers which had suddenly sprung up.
However, the OED may well be in error as they appear to have been available in France in 1817. Lt. Colonel Felton Hervey states in a letter dated 7 November 1817 The night before last Arthur Hill desired me to give a letter to the Duchess of R[ichmon]d, which I did very innocently. It contained one of these crackers, called Cossacks, which are sold in the fair here. It went off, and the duchess also, into one of the most violent fits of laughing hysterics ever witnessed. I am happy to say she does not think me guilty. I wonder it did not kill the old woman.

Last week, we held our first Titanium Livestream. It focused on iOS 12 features and Vue.js support and unit testing using Karma. Rene Pot, one of our Developer Evangelists, hosted the session and was joined by two Appcelerator developers: Eric Wieber and Jan Vennemann.
In the video below, Eric Wieber starts off by reviewing new features from iOS 12 and how they relate to Titanium SDK 7.4.0. The iOS 12 features demonstrated in the Livestream include:
- Grouped Notifications: This feature groups all of the notifications from a single app together in one bundle that prevents the Lock screen from becoming cluttered. Here is an example of how to use it in your app.
- Siri Shortcuts: These give Siri the hooks to incorporate deep app features into your Shortcut workflows. Here is an example.
- Credential Autofill, Password Suggestion, and One Time Code features: Here is example code for these features.
And, last but not least, here is a sample app that shows some of the new features present in Titanium SDK 7.4.0.
After Eric's talk, you'll hear from Jan Vennemann who covers unit testing using Karma and UI testing using webdriver.io. He also demonstrates hot reloading with Vue.js. Check out this sample app showing Vue.js on Titanium.
We plan to make Titanium Livestream a regular monthly event. Mark your calendar for the next one on Thursday, Oct 11 at 1PM EDT and follow wraldpyk on Twitch to stay in the loop!

Hi Fordy,
Yesterday, we went to ABS-CBN again for your Ate Bambam's voice workshop. For the first time, Ate Xaxa joined us. Must be bored at home. Same routine, we waited till 2:30pm until your sister is done. We watched Goin'Bulilit's taping in front of the cafeteria and your Ate Xaxa was amazed at the kids of her age, acting. I asked her, "Do you want to be like them?" She just smiled that shook her head. Your sister is indeed they shy type unlike your
Ate Bambam.
We went up the Star Magic Hall #3 at 2:25pm and proceed to the office to submit our ID photos for the fetcher's ID. I was asked if I'd like an ID lace and i said, "Sure!". The staff said, "Php500 for 2". I was like, "What??? Php250 each???" He said yes. I handed the lace back and told him I am getting one from the bookstore. He said it's fine. Gahd, that was a total rip-off! Php250 for an ID lace?!?!
Anyway, left the compound at almost 3pm, your Dad tried to ask you for a picture and I was surprised you said yes haha!
On our way home, we dropped by Kapitolyo to have Poppy's reserve tire fixed because the rear tire went flat and we have to change it. We spent Php1000 to have the stuck nails removed. Four of them! We should have brought a new one instead. Your Kuya Karlo was already at the Executive Optical in Market! Market! waiting for us.
We arrived there at 5pm. Deals at Executive Optical were not that good so we went to Sarabia Optical instead. We got a glass for your Kuya and Dad at Php1,285 each. Not bad. We headed to North Park for dinner. I was not able to bring you even once to your sisters' favorite spot. When we ask them where to eat, they would answer in unison, "North Park!". We do not have a choice. Your Kuya also wanted something heavy so, North Park it is.
We have been eating at North Park for years but this is the first time we tried their fried noodles. Nothing special. Tastes like regular pancit canton to me.
The Ultimate noodles is our must eat at North Park. It has beef, pork, seafood and vegetables. All in one! Your sisters love the mushrooms!
Every North Park trip will not be complete without sharksfin dumpling for Ate Xaxa, this is her favorite!
Lechon Macau is your Dad's favorite. I do not like the sauce, though.
And since your Kuya requested for rice, (we don't eat rice when we eat here), we got a plate of Yang Chow. Serving is good enough for 4.
After filling our tummies, we went to do grocery shopping for your Kuya's small feast for his 18th birthday. I am going to cook YuXiang Eggplant with Minced Pork in Dry Noodles. Sounds familiar, Fordy? That is the one we had at Khanzu! I am going to take a shot at cooking my version. Wish me luck!
I am about to cook in bit. I did not go with your Dad and Ate to ABS-CBN for his Sunday workshop because I will cook and I want to have plenty of time.
I can smell the biko your Yaya Cel is cooking, smells good, my bubut! That is one of her specialty and she really does it well.
Update on Fordy Gives Back: Tito Marky is joining us on that date!
I will talk to you later baby love. I know you saw me crying earlier, I just miss you. It is the time of the month when you just cross my mind and I become extra sad. This too shall pass, don't mind me.
I love you, Fordy. I love you so much.
Love forever,

In Their Own Words
KetoFast Round #1 (28 Day Challenge)
I am so happy with my results and grateful for this experience. I started at 151.6 pounds and this morning, I am down to 142, so that's 9.6 pounds. This is the longest in my life I have ever gone without processed foods and I know this will become a long-term habit. Clean eating is something I've wanted to do for a long time but was too overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. And the recipes are great – there's nothing I didn't like. I think I can keep this up but plan to sign on with you for another month. Thank you, Niki! This is your calling. I feel like I'm back in control of my nutrition because of your guidance and support.
Allison P., University Professor, Pittsburgh, PA
Health Coaching Testimonials
I'm only a couple of weeks into my journey with Nikki, but I'm already seeing incredible results. My whole mindset has changed around food and exercise! My self control and motivation to eat 'good' food and workout is 100 fold from where I was before I started working with her. I have 100% more energy, I feel more positive and so much happier in myself – so many comments from people! Before I went on this program I was antisocial through lacking in energy, had huge brain fog and hated the way I looked. In just a couple of weeks I (and my partner) can already see the fat coming off from around my belly (which is my real struggle area), I feel stronger, more toned and my mindset around every area of my life has improved! Even my sales have increased because I just have more clarity of thought and my energy vibration has raised! I'm feeling sexier, thinner and my confidence is coming back! I can't wait to see the final result at the end of the 12 weeks!
– Jen H., Online Entrepreneur and Coach, United Kingdom
Personal Training Testimonials
When I decided to plan my wedding in only 10 weeks, I knew I needed to start a fitness plan ASAP. Niki customized a workout routine that focused on my goals, was simple to follow, and utilized minimal equipment available in my home gym. Her program took the guesswork out of exercising.
Ashlee W., Communications Executive, Pittsburgh, PA
Nutrition Coaching Testimonials
This has been such a great experience for me. First to have a community of other people who are also looking to get healthier and facing challenges so that we can learn from each other. And second to have Niki's expertise to help me learn how many calories I should be consuming, planning the right foods to eat and my target heart rate along with exercises to help me achieve that. Now I'm on the right path to live a healthier life thanks to this group and Niki!
– Jennifer R., Marketing Executive, Chatham, NJ
I wasn't interested in a diet that isn't (and shouldn't be) sustainable- I wanted help making better choices to lead a healthier lifestyle. Working with Niki has provided exactly that. She offers realistic perspective and solutions while still keeping me on-track.

A FAMILY claim they have been left fearing for their lives at the hands of racist yobs.
Long-suffering dad Imran Tahir says his family has suffered a barrage of abuse from white troublemakers since moving into their Smallbridge home.
But the last straw came when his wife Inayah was pushed to the floor and hit with sticks as she carried their seven-month-old son Hassan in her arms.
Luckily they escaped unscathed but both mother and son have fled the house at Buckley View to stay with relatives.
Only Mr Tahir remains, determined not to be defeated by the gang, but he admits he is desperate to move from the area.
The 27-year-old, originally from Pakistan, has made an urgent appeal to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing but so far to no avail.
"They are throwing stones at our windows, shouting racist abuse at us and throwing fireworks into our garden," said Mr Tahir, who works for a fast food restaurant.
"My car was also detroyed by fire and we have had to take out a £4,000 loan for a replacement.
"During Ramadan my wife was cooking a meal when they threw mud through the window and it landed on the food.
"But what worries me most is the attack on my wife and child.
"I fear what they will do next if they are willing to carry out an attack like that." He added: "I am 99 per cent certain that this is racially motivated.
"We want to be moved and are willing to accept a smaller house.
"No-one seems willing to help us."
A spokesman from RBH declined to comment about the details of the family's case.
But he said: "RBH is aware of the serious problems experienced by Mr Tahir and his family.
"Our enforcement staff are supporting our local housing management team and we are working with other agencies."
Sergeant Chris Lees confirmed Pennines Police had received three reports of criminal damage from Mr Tahir, the last being in August.
But Sgt Lees had not been told that these had been racist assaults and was not aware of the attack on Mrs Tahir.
He was due to visit the family this week.

16 years before we printed the name Studio HOME on our business cards in 2008 we knew it was what we wanted to do. We're a dimensional team of space enthusiasts with a knack for finding a compromise between form and function. Like a marriage of art and purpose. Creating atmospheres that spark conversation, sooth and solidify the space that you call home.
We work as a team, balancing everyone's strengths and steering clear of formulaic design.
Aaron Dolan is co-owner of Studio Home, Inc. Aaron graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia majoring in Architectural Studies with an emphasis in Interior Design.
"For fifteen years I had the privilege to work beside very creative and capable people who trained me from the ground up. I will always be grateful for the experience along with a formal education in design.
The great leap for Jon Trigg and myself was to establish our own business and finally put to use all the knowledge we had acquired. In 2008, Studio Home was born. Our goal is to create and mold spaces that are conducive to our client's well-being. Retreats, tailored to our client's taste, residential and commercial.
We run the gamut: exceptional custom framing, a retail space that gives our clients a sense of our abilities, unique objects of art for the drop in customer, to fully designing a residence or business interior. We will even source art for our clients. As the old adage states, 'be careful what you wish for, you may get it', has happened. So we welcome you to our Studio Home and please feel at home."
Jon Trigg is co-owner of Studio Home, Inc. Jon studied architecture before pursuing a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Missouri.
"I've always loved houses and rooms. I started working in building trades and construction when I was young. I enjoy taking an existing space and making it more functional. I find the problem-solving aspect of design rewarding. My appreciation for art surpasses that of architecture. For years, I worked as a studio artist with my favorite medium, clay.
I still create art, though not quite in the same way, through framing the work of others and hunting for cast off interior objects to resuscitate. Really, in all my roles at Studio Home, I simply present things in a new way, out of their original place, problem solving for an angle to give a room, art, or object new life."
Chris Gilland joined our team January 2014. Chris has held a variety of different careers from working in the jewelry business to managing a Walmart and Sam's Club.
"As project manager, I handle the warehouse and the business operations of Studio Home. I do everything from ordering and tracking materials and products for clients, to inspecting deliveries and scheduling and assisting with installations. I also make arrangements for repairs or maintenance work if needed. On the business side, I help log orders and communicate with vendors.
I love that my job allows me to interact with clients and get out into the community. I also enjoy the responsibility of taking on jobs from beginning to end. Seeing a project come together and a client happy is always so satisfying."
Megan Carter joined our team in May 2015. She is a graduate of the University of Missouri, Columbia with a degree in Event Management.
"Being Studio Home's Administrative Assistant, I really get to hone in on my organizing and planning skills. I have a vast background in the hospitality industry ranging from interning at the Isle of Capri Casino to working at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Although my strongest abilities are coordinating and managing events, I found that these skills easily transferred over to the design industry.
The process it takes when designing a client's home is very similar to coordinating an event. You have to be prepared, organized, and always make sure the client is satisfied. My role at Studio Home involves communicating with clients, scheduling appointments, organizing paperwork & documents, and preparing for client presentations. I never saw myself working for an interior design firm, but when the opportunity presented itself, I couldn't have been happier. Studio Home is like a second family to me."

Do you want to learn more about the candidates for governor and U.S. senator, and where they stand on issues from state taxes and long-term care funding to Social Security?
AARP Washington is a lead sponsor of three televised debates this month, hosted by the Washington State Debate Coalition, which was established by the Seattle CityClub.
Attend the debates in person or watch them on broadcast TV or live streaming, thanks to the coalition's 80 broadcast partners.
AARP joins sponsors Microsoft, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for this series of debates. Here's the schedule:
Sun., Oct. 16, 7 p.m.—Gonzaga University, Spokane (Senate)
Wed., Oct. 19, 8 p.m.—Columbia Basin College, Pasco (Governor)
Sun., Oct. 23, 7 p.m.—Microsoft Redmond Campus (Senate)
"We believe that voters should have more information from candidates than 30-second sound bites from partisan sources," said Cathy MacCaul, AARP advocacy director.
"We deserve better. Debates are valuable opportunities for the public to engage with the candidates on the important issues that matter most to them."

Creative Scotland has launched a £600,000 fund for film festivals.
Administered by Scotland's new Screen Unit, the fund will see awards of between £5,000 and £70,000 given to festivals not supported by Creative Scotland's Regular Funding programme, which supports arts and creative organisations across the country.
Qualifying festivals must be based in Scotland and curating programmes for Scottish audiences. Outside of the major festivals including Glasgow and Edinburgh, which are covered by Regular Funding, the country is also host to a wide variety of film-focused events such as the Cromarty Film Festival in the Scottish Highlands and the Africa in Motion Film Festival, which is held in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Agnieszka Moody has been appointed to the newly-created role of director of Creative Scotland's Screen Unit in an interim capacity until December 2018. She joins on secondment from the Creative Europe desk at the BFI until December 2018. A permanent appointment for the position will happen at a later date.
From September, she will report to Isabel Davis, the BFI's head of international who is joining Creative Scotland as executive director of the Screen Unit later this year in a move that was announced last week.
"Scotland's screen sector has grown significantly in recent years, with an increase in production spend of more than 200% since 2007. Film festivals play an important part in this success story – particularly by promoting domestic productions and encouraging more people to go to the cinema," said Scotland's cabinet secretary for culture, tourism and external affairs Fiona Hyslop.
"Scotland has a broad range of film festivals from the internationally renowned to the locally significant, all of which are important not only for the calibre of productions in their programmes but also for the impact they make on audiences across the country," added Iain Munro, deputy CEO of Creative Scotland, on the new fund.
The Screen Unit is a partnership between Creative Scotland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Skills Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Funding Council and has an annual budget of £20m for 2018/19. The organisation is tasked with doubling film and TV production spend in Scotland by 2022/23.

Just came back from vacation. We are feeling lazy and don't want to write much.
So here are some fruits, vegetables and nuts!
They were taken in a supermarket in LA.
The display (what display?) is just the opposite of Whole Foods where everything is neatly stacked into perfectly balanced pyramids. In this market, there are just piles of stuff.
It is not a wholesale market.
Haven't lived in the US for a while, so we don't know the prices of groceries. It is probably cheaper than your regular supermarket.
The US is truly the land of plenty.
This is Sue's favorite melons (when they are sweet).
You people probably think that we are crazy – taking all these pictures. Film is cheap nowadays.

Not from Georgia. Likely from California.
Lassi anyone ?
Alright, gotta go. Ciao.

DILG commends PNP, LGUs for 'safest SEA Games ever'
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has lauded the Philippine National Police (PNP) and local government units (LGUs) for the "safest Southeast Asian (SEA) Games" in history.
DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said there were no serious or major untoward incidents reported that marred the SEA Games.
"Naipakita natin ang 'Filipino hospitality' at ang bayanihan ng pulisya, nasyunal at lokal na mga pamahalaan, private sector at media (We have shown the 'Filipino hospitality' and the cooperation of the national police and the local government, private sector and media). This will go down in history as the best and safest ever," he said.
There were 27,440 police officers deployed to site task groups during the whole duration of the SEA Games.
In Metro Manila alone, there were 18,105 officers securing the competitions; 6,554 in Central Luzon; 1,865 in Southern Luzon; and 916 in La Union.
"We will not rest until all the foreign athletes, coaches and staff have left the country. We are committed 100% to their safety and well-being. Congrats to the PNP for a job well done!," Año addded.—AAC

How to Make Your Own Subtitlesby ContributorUpdated September 22, 2017
Would you like to make your own subtitles? If you are bilingual and would like to translate movies into other languages for the benefit of other viewers, you may want to make your own subtitles. It's not as hard as you think.
First, locate and open a text editor on your computer. If you are using Windows, you can use Notepad or Textpad. If you are using Linux, you can use gedit.
Watch the movie, and jot down the translation as you would like it. Also, you will have to note down the time that you would like the subtitles to appear.
Now put the subtitles in this format:
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.595
Morning, Scott.
Morning, Wells.
The "1" means it is the first subtitle. The second line signifies the minutes, seconds and milliseconds that the subtitle should appear on the screen.
Continue on, line for line. For example, in "Top Gun", the next line would be:
00:04:15.766 --> 00:04:20.562
Ghost Rider, this is Strike. We have
unknown aircraft, inbound Mustang.
Continue to do so until you complete the film and then save the file with the extension ".srt" instead of ".txt".
When you finish, you may want to upload your file to opensubtitles.org so that other users can find it and benefit from your work.
Note that if the movie you are subtitling is already listed on opensubtitles.org in another language, you can just copy it and reuse the times so that you don't have to go through all the effort of noting the times. You just have to change the language.

Soros Equality Fellowship
- Status
- Closed
- Program
- Open Society-U.S.
The Soros Equality Fellowship seeks to support emerging midcareer professionals whom we believe will become long-term innovative leaders impacting racial justice.
The Open Society-U.S.'s Equality team seeks applicants for its Soros Equality Fellowship, which aims to support emerging mid-career professionals who will become long-term innovative leaders influencing the racial justice field. The fellowship award provides individuals with a grant of $100,000 to support production of an innovative racial justice project over the course of 18 months.
We seek a diverse cohort of applicants, including but not limited to activists, artists, journalists, and organizers, to produce a project with meaningful impact. This approach recognizes the power of individuals to use a variety of tools, from traditional advocacy to the arts, to impact change and uplift the mission and values of an open society.
Eligibility Criteria
We are looking to fund projects that align with the U.S Programs' Equality team's approach to racial justice. This approach:
- rejects the 21st century postracial myth, which claims that by acknowledging race and ethnicity, we promote racism and xenophobia; it instead embraces the value of acknowledging the discriminatory impact that certain seemingly race-neutral policies can have on immigrants and communities of color;
- believes that documenting this disparate impact and the ongoing role of discrimination provides a platform for others to question the legitimacy of structures that limit access to democracy, justice, education, and the economy;
- recognizes the enduring power of language, image, media, the arts, and public opinion to combat or perpetuate discrimination against immigrants and people of color in the United States and across the globe; and
- prioritizes the dismantling of structures that perpetuate discrimination over the targeting of individual actors who engage in discrimination.
Ineligibility Criteria
The program does not fund the following:
- enrollment for degree or nondegree study at academic institutions, including dissertation research
- projects that address racial justice issues outside the United States (applicants themselves, however, can be based outside the United States, as long as their work directly relates to a U.S. issue)
- lobbying or political activities
Those interested in the fellowship should first review the Soros Equality Fellowship application and guidelines. There are three stages to the application and selection process. First, all applicants must submit a full application by the deadline.Apply Online
Second, from the pool of applicants, we will select a group of finalists who will be invited to interview with a selection committee consisting of Open Society Foundations staff and outside experts. Finally, from the pool of finalists, we will select up to 12 individuals to receive fellowship awards.
Completed proposals are due January 10, 2019 (11:59 p.m. EST), and must be submitted online.
Applicants who are uncertain about the parameters of the fellowships guidelines may submit a brief email inquiry to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please do not submit an email inquiry before reviewing the appropriate documents.

This question got me thinking:
What are all of the settings you could manipulate with the same command-line application, and what are their codes?
Although I don't frequently run low on battery, it would be nice if my Mac automatically set me up for success. I'm running an Early 2015 MacBook Pro 13" Retina (MacBookPro 12,1).
Specifically, I'm looking for the following switches to be made when disconnecting from power while still being able to manually revert whatever I need:
- Change screen brightness to a specific value (e.g. 20%)
- Change keyboard backlighting to a specific value
- Disable screensaver (I have the aerial screensaver installed)
- Turn Bluetooth off
- Mute audio
- Turn location services off (would love to be able to do this per app as well)
- Pause specific apps (e.g. DropBox, Google Drive, Citrix)
- Turn on Do Not Disturb (found in original question)
And then of course I would want to switch them all back on when reconnecting to power.
I'm certainly no coder, but I can follow directions, and the application that aaplmath wrote could clearly be expanded. I'm currently downloading Xcode (on a very slow connection), but how would I look these up myself in the future?

Veronica Bruno is a Senior Administrator in Cushman & Wakefield's New York office.
Q: Do you celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15-October 15?
A: Yes, this year at a nightclub on Varick Street. At this event, there will be some traditional Puerto Rican rhythms with modern Afro-Caribbean influences. I love celebrating by listening to great music and being around fun people.
Q: What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you?
A: It's a time for celebrating culture by eating traditional dishes, listening to music and having fun. Puerto Ricans love their pasteles (soft dough wrapped in a banana or plantain leaf, filled with pork and other ingredients and boiled), alcapurrias (stuffed mashed plantains filled with ground beef and fried), arroz con gandules (rice with special beans), lechon (roast pig) and bacalaitos (cod critters) and many more delicious foods. All enjoyed while listening to everyone drink and do lots of loud talking and just enjoying each other.
Q: What is a way you enjoy celebrating your culture at any time of the year?
A: Being around family, listening to music, eating and just relaxing and shooting the breeze!
Q: What aspects of your culture have served as a unique asset to you in your professional success?
A: Being fluent in Spanish has allowed me work for ABC Sports as a bilingual English/Spanish assistant, and it was pretty cool (years ago).
Q: Who is a notable Latino figure who has inspired you, and why?
A: Marc Anthony, an American singer, actor, record producer and television producer. He is best known for his Latin salsa numbers and ballads. He won a couple of awards from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI). He holds the Guinness world record for best-selling tropical/salsa artist and the most number one albums on the year-end charts. I love salsa music and he's my idol!
Q: How have you seen diversity as a valuable asset in our business?
A: Yes, seeing men and women of many nationalities and backgrounds working together and sharing common objectives is rewarding.
Q: What are ways that all employees can be champions for diversity in the workplace?
A: Participate in professional and civic organizations, which can help promote diversity.
Q: What are ways in which you give or pay it forward in the Latino community?
A: Whenever there are church events, I help with the cooking. My neighbors love my food as well!
