Giuseppe "Joseph" Tagliarini - MBACP, BA Degree
About me
Hello and Welcome,
Whilst we circle this blue orb, the cradle of humanity known as earth; Life can and will often throw us unwelcome surprises and wounds; and sometimes we need help beyond our circle of friends, someone who is not only a good listener, but a qualified, skilled and experienced practitioner.
I work with a range of issues including anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, relationship issues, depression, rejection; and the universal longing within humanity 'the quest for love and connection'.
In addition I also cover generational differences, divorce and separation, bullying, career, bereavement, depression, lack of confidence and low self-esteem, childhood issues and more.
I see many come through counselling and undergo transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.
I don't just sit, listen and nod my head, I enter your world.
'Somewhere between right and wrong, there is a garden, I'll meet you there.'
No matter your challenge, as a 'Person Centred Counsellor' I will work with you as an individual in helping you to explore, grow and express finding your true organismic self; You are the vessel and therapy is the journey to help you unravel the narrative of your inner heart and you are valued. There is treasure within the soul and together we will explore.
I am concerned and committed for the healing, the well-being and development of you as a whole person: body, mind and spirit. I offer a space that is non-threatening and non-judgmental, where a new expression of who you truly are can begin to emerge, it is a space to re-imagine your life and future; a way to examine and work through issues you may have so that genuine healing and change can occur.
Talking with friends and family is invaluable, but sometimes it might feel too risky and impersonal to expose them to your inner thoughts and feelings.
This is when having your own private space to express and explore what you are experiencing may become helpful and attractive to you; That's where I come in as a personal counsellor and psychotherapist.
I am here to guide you through this process without rescue; Working in a collaborative way to meet you at you're point in you're life's journey. 'Together we explore' feelings, thought patterns, expectations of who we think we are, attitudes and our interaction with our inner and outer world – so in counselling together, we can begin to see with clarity, thus enabling growth and actualisation to happen.
As a trained psychotherapist counsellor; qualified at 'Middlesex University' and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapists) in addition I have also been in the education profession for over 16 years, working with young adults as well as SEN clients and during this time made the transition from learning and behaviour mentor to embark on a full-time counselling career.
My approach is based on Nobel peace prize nominee Carl Rogers's - 1902-1987 humanistic theories working with you at you're pace, therapy is the journey to help you un-render and unravel the emotions within.
With my passion to help you discover and understand self in both past and present, using early childhood experience, cultural beliefs, gender restraints or present day life on this blue planet that shapes patterns of relating and sense of self; (humanistic, Existential and Phenomenological).
Over the years I have gained trust and a good reputation with my education community and team and I still endeavor to learn and grow as a counsellor as I explore the inner thoughts and feelings of each client through the core conditions and my practice thereof. Empathy (sharing and understanding feelings), congruence (being genuine and open to your experiences) and unconditional positive regard (fully accepting you for what you bring, and who you are), the key things that help give clients the right conditions for personal discovery and growth.
I have worked with hundreds of individuals from all types of backgrounds throughout the world.
I have found that when clients have their own private space to express and explore what the in-congruence is within that they are experiencing, counselling becomes beneficial if not crucial in exploring the world within. Arrange an appointment today.
*Phone now for appointment and intro chat.
*I also understand that for some, the constraints of a therapy room may be daunting and even off putting, so I also offer a new and innovative approach of Counselling and Coaching in the realms of cyber world- as I am also a digital psychotherapist, so we can go online or I we can arrange home visits, the park or a scenic location; highlighting the need to continuously move forward, while maintaining a connection with self and our surroundings.
Cost - £45.00 per 50 minute session
Couple £65 +
*Indoor, Outdoor locations or Home Visits; as well as PHONE or Zoom or Skype platform.
Are by special arrangement, please call for availability & costs.
The counselling hour normally lasts 50 minutes. This gives us time to ensure that you are emotionally ready to leave the session and to allow for any other clients arriving, to be seen on time.
If you require a longer session, and it is convenient and viable for me to offer this, there will be an additional cost (normally charged at part of or a whole counselling hour).

Man up Moment: "Superwoman" Surgeon Treks Eight Miles In Snow To Operate
This lady is walking 8 miles in the snow to perform potentially lifesaving surgery and I am still over here complaining about Daylight Saving Time.
Listen to the full story below ...
Heavy snow and freezing weather caused a standstill in much of Scotland last week, but that didn't stop consultant surgeon Lindsey Chisholm from getting to the hospital. She trekked eight miles from her home in Glasgow to get there so she could operate on a cancer patient.
Dr. Chisholm says she "didn't think it was a big deal," but patient Iain McAndrew says it was "truly amazing" that she worked so hard to get there for his surgery. "When she walked in my heart took a wee jump," he says. "I thought it was amazing. If there is a real-life superwoman, she is it."

I am loving the extra fine nib of this, it is even finer than my Kakuno EF. Plus the nib is interchangeable with my Pilot Metropolitan. It doesn't feel scratchy to me, but there is a difference in smoothness with the F nib of Pilot Metro.
Posted by Alex on 26th Jun 2018
What an interesting pen! I love how fine the nib is, although it is a bit scratchy. The body has a unique shape, but I wish the cap was snap-on instead.
Posted by Franny on 10th Jun 2016
It really is extra fine. Because it's really, really fine, it's a bit scratchy and cuts into the paper sometimes, which is expected. It's also a bit too dry for my taste. However, it doesn't skip and you can easily modify it to make it write wetter. This size is good when writing on cheaper paper or if your handwriting is naturally small.
The body seems to be completely sealable, so you can actually convert it to an eyedropper, which would look nice with the clear body. You can also fit it with either the Con40 or Con50 converter.
You can also swap nibs with the Pilot Prera. You can easily take out the nib and feed if you want to experiment with it.
Overall, it's an okay purchase. I like it.

University of Manchester, UK
The study and understanding of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a major goal in modern astronomy. Galactic free-free emission is principal foreground of the CMB. A full-sky template of this component is increasingly important for the upcoming high-sensitivity and high resolution experiments, such as the recently launched Planck satellite.
The H_alpha line is a good tracer of the free-free emission and it has been used to produce all sky-maps. It gives a good indication at intermediate and high latitudes, but becomes unreliable on the Galactic plane due to the high absorption, so a radio technique is required in this region.
Radio Recombination Lines (RRLs) serve this purpose and are used to determine the Emission Measure unambiguously along the plane of the Galaxy. We use the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey, which includes 3 RRLs (H166_alpha, H167_alpha and H168_alpha) to map for the first time the free-free emission on the Galactic plane covering the region l=36 to 44 degrees and b=-4 to 4 degrees.
Well-known HII regions are identified as well as diffuse emission and a free-free map of this region is recovered. The RRL Galactic latitude distribution has a half power width of about 1.5 degrees. These results can now be combined with low frequency data to separate the free-free and synchrotron foregrounds and also quantify the anomalous dust contribution using WMAP or Planck data.

Carlo van Dam retires in Spa 24 Hours26-07-09
The Saleen S7R of the Austrian Full Speed Racing-team with which Dutch racing driver Carlo van Dam raced in the Spa 24 Hours this weekend, retired on Saturday night after 128 laps. It seemed the engine just did not pick up fuel anymore, which was a bit strange as it happened at the start of what was our last lap before our next scheduled pit stop, Carlo explains. There was no fuel alarm light coming on either, the engine just cut out at once. A pity of course, but I look back satisfied and with pleasure at racing in this event nevertheless.
A short-circuit in the wire loom kept the Full Speed Racing-team in the pits throughout most of free practice and the qualifying sessions leading up to the race, but the problem was solved before the start. The team asked me to do the start, Carlo says. In the race things went nicely, actually. I spent a lot of time in the car and especially when it rained it just went well. We may not have had the best car out there, but compared to the fastest Maseratis and Corvettes we performed quite reasonably I think. The team was pleased with my speed and in the paddock I got some good reactions to my driving, so I am happy to have been given the opportunity to race here and that I took it. We lost a lot of track time in practice and qualifying due to the short-circuit problem we had, but despite that, in the race the car was fine. One time the team put me on slicks a bit too early maybe, so I had a brief off as the track was still wet, but apart from that things went well. This was one of those races in which you move up automatically as long as you just keep on running, because a lot was happening on the track and many cars crashed out or ran into trouble. Unfortunately we too retired, but all in all for me this was a great race and valuable experience.<- Back to: News

Brett Favre has a history of playing "lights out" when the pressure is on, particularly on Monday Night Football. He's done it following his father's death, he's done it with last minute miracle throws, and he's done it under the national spotlight while playing his former team.
Tonight, Favre is preparing to play with the pressure that comes from having the nation wondering if allegations of a sexual nature that have recently surfaced are true or not. The whole world will be watching, and that tends to be when Favre plays his best.
While the seconds tick away and we get closer to kickoff of tonight's matchup against the red hot New York Jets, Favre has spoken about the allegations to ESPN and also to his team.
"My main focus is the New York Jets, they are a tough team; as good as they are that has been my focus," Favre told ESPN. "I hate in any way if this has been a distraction as I said Thursday — we are here focused on trying to beat the Jets."
While Favre did not and has not denied the allegations, Favre said he would be happy to speak with Commissioner Roger Goodell about the issue. When asked directly if the charges were true, Favre simply replied, "That will take its course."
"It [Favre's reputation] has always been important to me," Favre said of his reputation. "That was one of the first questions I answered when I signed here [the Vikings]. Sure it is important to me, it has always been a concern."
Meanwhile, Favre has reportedly apologized to his Vikings teammates at their hotel on Monday for any distraction the situation may have caused.

Now that Slavoj Zizek is a movie star and Malcolm Gladwell can fill rock star venues, it's probably just a lazy short-hand to contend that Pier Paolo Pasolini's celebrity is all but inconceivable now. He's remembered in English-speaking territories for his films–raw spins on Italian life, Christianity, and the sacred and blasphemous pillars of Western literature. In Italy, however, Pasolini was a one-man culture industry. He established himself as a poet, novelist, journalist, intellectual, documentary maker, radical irritant and all-around literary celebrity. PPP burned too brightly to last until his 80s, but if he had, today would have been his birthday.
Pasolini was born into a military family and attended Bologna University, but he entered a downward spiral after being expelled from his school-teaching job and the Italian Communist Party for homosexual activities. He landed in the slums of Rome, whose down-and-outs were the subject of his 1955 novel Ragazzi di vita. Like Burroughs or Genet, Pasolini's poetic vision of the underworld brought charges of public indecency. The rallying of the intellectual community encouraged Pasolini to become more outspoken, and his subsequent celebrity became his entree into the film-making world.
Pasolini's manipulation of the stuff of documentaries into fictional parables had deep roots in French Poetic Realism, the Neo-Realism of Roberto Rossellini, and the art of Caravaggio and Filippo Lippi. 1961's Accattone is a kind of beat film, with its listless pimp protagonist dropping out rather than getting caught up in Rome's la dolce vita, while its follow-up Mamma Roma repeats the trick with Anna Magnani as the Madonna of the Slums. Pasolini's obsession with religion found natural expression in "La Ricotta," where a beggar takes part in a filmic re-creation of the Passion. Orson Welles plays the bemused director who pontificates over a bed of go-go music.
A student of art history, Pasolini had recognized that the slums were the natural terrain of Christ. For his Gospel According to St. Matthew, he staged the life of Christ in rural Sicily, Lazio and Calabria. According to IMDB, Pasolini originally considered casting Jack Kerouac or Allen Ginsberg as Christ before settling on Enrique Irazoqui, a young economics student. In what would make an interesting companion piece to Soderbergh's Che, Christ is depicted as the ultimate socialist and revolutionary. The identification of Communism and Christ had unexpected results. The Office Catholique International du Cinéma awarded the film a prize and in 1999, the Pope named it a Catholic "must see."
Pasolini preferred graffiti to pietas, however, and many of his films are satires whose barbs have faded in the widening distance between the present and the 1960s. In 1968, however, he scored an international art house hit with Teorema, perhaps the ultimate tale of a bourgeois family destroyed by a free spirit. Terence Stamp is the omnisexual angel/devil whose beauty and mysteriousness even seduces the maid; his sudden withdrawal from the scene sends the entire crew into varying degrees of piety and madness. The film has arguably influenced a variety of films ranging from Dennis Potter's Brimstone & Treacle to Michael Haneke's Funny Games.
In 1966's Hawks and Sparrows, the comic Toto and Ninetto Davoli eventually eat the crow who has been hectoring them throughout the entire film with a leftist cathechism. In the 1970s, as the radical left splintered, Pasolini's appetite turned to literary adaptations that reinvigorated The Decameron, The Canterbury Tales and The Thousand and One Nights by cultivating their ribald roots. The extended pantheistic celebration of human sexuality and bodily functions fashioned the director as a kind of sexual guru. He referred to the work as his "trilogy of life."
His last, most notorious film, scrutinized his entire cinematic project by way of de Sade. Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom was again a novel marriage of gospel and location. Set in Mussolini's puppet Italian Socialist Republic in the dying days of World War II, the film realizes de Sade's mad fantasy of untrammelled freedom. Rape and torture are administered by a duke, bishop, magistrate and president, who have all become incestuously intertwined, in an agonizing masque. Claustrophobic and voyeuristic, the film depicts an imagination–whether that of Italy, de Sade, or Pasolini's is up to the viewer–collapsing in on itself, ending on an unlikely grace note of two soldiers dancing together. The film has the distinction of being banned in Australia … twice.
Salo was made for instant notoriety, and it's tempting to consider how it may have been received if Pasolini was not repeatedly run over before its 1975 premiere. Like Caravaggio, he died on an Italian beach. A teenage hustler confessed to the murder, but Giuseppe Pelosi recanted his confession in 2005. A reopening of the investigation heard testimony that Pasolini had actually been lured to Ostia by thieves who had stolen several reels of Salo. In his book PPP: Pier Paolo Pasolini and Death, his friend Giuseppe Zigaina has suggested that Pasolini wanted to end this way. Having burned down his playhouse of squalor and myth with his last film, it may be that Pasolini had nowhere else to go.

By Sarah Loat BBC NEWS Cairo, Egypt Fifteen thousand young music fans attended the recent SOS Music Festival held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.Disillusioned with what they see as the low quality, sexualised, commercial pop music available on the Egyptian television and airwaves, a group of young musicians began an ambitious project to share original, underground music and support Egypt's home-grown talent. The music was highly diverse – rock, metal, reggae, modern Egyptian, rai, contemporary oriental jazz and hip-hop. The driving force behind the festival is 28-year-old Ousso, a session musician and guitarist in jazz fusion band Eftekasat.
"I decided to create a platform for good music, original music, underground music. Confidence is low in Egypt. People tend to imitate more than innovate," Ousso said. "I'm against that, I want to create an opportunity for this generation to innovate and for the audience to enjoy good music absolutely new to them."
Musical revolution With the support of major sponsors, the event was free for the 15,000 invited fans. Ousso he is aiming to begin a musical revolution.Read More

"I have the pulse of my floor, do we have the pulse of our suppliers' floors? Are they moving the needle forward?"
As CFO for Bonfiglioli USA, a leader in global power transmission and control in Hebron, KY, Scott Guy is passionate about continuous improvement. Consistently recognized for analyzing complex business problems, Scott's everyday role requires making tough decisions while considering their long-term effects to the bottom line.
One way Scott contributes to Bonfiglioli's growth and profitability is through its supplier base. We interviewed Scott on how he's formed partnerships with suppliers who share Bonfiglioli's core values, and ensures their development towards mutual success.
As a CFO, what are your business goals and how do you continually work to achieve them?
"You can't operate for the long term in "launch-mode."
My number one goal is the profitability of Bonfiglioli USA. But my other goals surround the effective implementation of systems. Having lived through an extreme growth phase at my prior employer, I learned a lot. It's one thing to grow, it's another thing to grow right, profitably and strong. Executing a large-scale growth plan in a profitable way is what I bring to the table. You have to keep the customer happy while not losing your focus on eventual profitability. Maybe it's one month after launch, or maybe it's six - but you can't operate long term in "launch-mode."
"Live in your operation."
Second - as a leader - you have to live in your operation. You can't financially lead a company from an office. You need to be in touch with everyone from your VP of operations, to the guy who is banding finished goods and shipping them out the door. Much like a consultant, it's important to understand what their days look like, their complications, and the tools you can provide to make every second of those days easier and streamlined. If I'm not in touch with the floor, I'm not adding real value to the company. Each of those things impact the bottom line. I can then develop the right KPIs that tell the right story. If I'm moving people forward, my bottom line will take care of itself.
"Many companies are competing for the same skillset."
Finding enough of the required skillsets in the market place, and ensuring we're retaining that skillset is a challenge. Many companies are competing for the same skillset -- especially locally. Its availability is diminished compared to what it was 10-15 years ago. The life of a manufacturing operator is much different than what it was. There's a lot more people going to college, and not necessarily finding appeal in the manufacturing environment.
How do you APPROACH SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT?
"It starts with strategic sourcing to find the right partner."
It starts with stratgic sourcing to find the right partner. My time is limited. I need the right partners dealing with certain expertise on a regular and reliable basis. Whether it's my banking partners managing a solid risk management plan for foreign currency, or other business partners pointing me in the right direction so that the company's not exposed -- finding the right partner is key.
I also look for vendors with proven, long-term financial viability. If we're 60-70% of a vendor's revenue stream, that might be a red flag. It's best to have supplier diversity so you're equipped to weather various storms.
"Focus on the right improvements."
From there, you need to focus on the right improvements. For example, some cashflow decisions are superficial improvements. They can deliver a one-time benefit to improve the cash to cash cycle. But in the end, the additional charges and complexities make it less optimal for the long term.
"Know your vendors and industry."
You need to know your individual vendors and industry trends. When changing terms, look at the vendor. Is it 'mom and pop' or major player? Work through them individually. Is there an easy trade-off? Can we increase terms in exchange for an overall increase in purchase price?
If there's little risk involved, capitalize on those opportunities. Or, blanket with exceptions. For example, we made a blanket move from net 30 to net 60 payment terms with our suppliers. It was a global initiative and I had some reservations. But as we started living through it, I was shocked; less than 10 percent of vendors said one word about it. Some of their biggest customers were already on that path, and it was accepted with little conversation.
What are other companies in your industry doing? If they're aligned with the direction you're heading, you're a fool not to proceed and benefit. The path has already been laid.
Relative to the supply base, outside of exchange rates, what are operational hurdles to your business growth and sustainment?
"You can visually see their quality control system at a glance when you walk in the door."
At the end of the day, we require a high level of precision. We focus on quality control and supplier development to ensure we're getting that precision. You can visually see their quality control system at a glance when you walk in the door. If I see an unorganized workplace and no visual management, how can I trust they can handle a $500K book of business? If I see process documentation and standard work in place, I have confidence that every part of Bonfiglioli's coming off that line is the exact same. No supplier is ever at 100%, but if you can walk into a facility and see those controls, you have a foundation of trust and reliability that can be repeated hour by hour, day by day.
Vendors that were great suppliers five years ago can go stagnate, and the first things to go are often attention to detail and organization.
Cost is important, but the cost of partnering with the wrong vendor can be much much worse. A dollar or two on piece price is better than a quality catastrophe. If you get in bed with the wrong vendor, you have to live with them for sometimes years before another sourcing event. Make sure you're partnering with someone who shares your same core values vs. putting your company at risk.
Any parting words on the future of supply chain? Anything to keep an eye out for?
"Incidents down the road can be prevented if you're diligent on the font-end."
Be diligent on the upfront development of the commercial supplier relationship. If you prioritize formal, structured, supplier audit procredures, supplier performance will be much higher. Time, resources, and other excuses shouldn't stand in the way of not doing this. Incidents down the road can be prevented if you're diligent on the front-end.
I ask myself, "I have the pulse of my floor, do we have the pulse of our suppliers' floors? Are they moving the needle forward?"

What a great experience selling my home to Now Properties. Mike was patient and kind through the whole process. They worked with me on my timeline allowing me extra time to get everything in place. The transaction was seamless. I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with.
Selling parents home I had early offers after funeral, but waited for legal stuff to finish. I talked to a guy named Mike, he ran a few groups thru the house, then offered a great price. Others offered same price but I chose Mike because I knew I would be happy and my parents longtime neighbors will be very happy with investment in the home. Pretty easy process.Rob Ashmun
"It is my great pleasure to know Mike Lowery of Now Properties, and I wholeheartedly vouch for his personal character. I trust him without reservation. Mike is a stand-up fellow, no two ways about it."C. Wilson

Carrie Underwood cheered on hubby Mike Fisher at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on June 5 for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Nashville Predators and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
For the power couple, the day was even more special, as it marked Predators-captain Mike's 37th birthday.
RELATED: Carrie Underwood reigns as Rare Country's Female Artist of the Year
Although it was a huge day for the Fishers, Carrie admits that she didn't get her husband anything for his birthday.
"We kind of put the birthday in the back room," she told announcers on NBC during the first intermission, "shut the door and we'll visit it later."
Despite Carrie's admission, she promised that she'd make up for skipping out on the gift giving. "I'm terrible I know," she said, "I will, though. I will. After all this is done, and we have the [Stanley] Cup maybe that could just be his birthday party."
In the meantime, Mike can read the adorable post that Carrie wrote on Instagram.
View this post on Instagram
Happy birthday to this handsome hunk! I'll never forget the day he told me he was asked to wear the "C." I was so proud on that day and I'm even more proud now to see him play in the #StanleyCupFinals He's definitely the only FISH in the "C" for me! 💙💛🐟💛💙🐟💙💛Advertisement
She captioned, "Happy birthday to this handsome hunk! I'll never forget the day he told me he was asked to wear the "C." I was so proud on that day and I'm even more proud now to see him play in the #StanleyCupFinals. He's definitely the only FISH in the "C" for me! 💙💛🐟💛💙🐟💙💛."
The Predators ended up beating the Pens 4-1 to tie the series 2-2. So, perhaps Carrie is right to wait on the birthday celebrations, because Mike is fully focused. Carrie showcased her excitement over the victory with multiple Instagram posts.
The clip above shows Carrie adorably getting her groove on to the song "All I Do Is Win." She writes, "Aaaaaannnnnndddsd PREDS WIN!!! #Smashville #StanleyCupFinals @mfisher1212 @predsnhl."

A second shot features her with some of her and Mike's family members. She captions, "The Fisher ladies … good gracious, I'm short! 😜 #Smashville #PredsWin."
Turns out that Carrie and the "Fisher ladies" got together after the game to sing Mike "Happy Birthday." You can check out their "Happy Birthday" song in the tweet below!

Stadium and FanzoneEdit
Parc des Princes
**Uefa Capacity: 45,000 **
Located in south-west Paris on the north side of the Seine and named after the monarchy's old hunting grounds, Parc Des Princes is home to Paris Saint German (PSG), the world's best paid sports team.
The ground was originally opened in 1897 as a velodrome-type stadium. It didn't take its current form, sans running track until 1972, when it was remodelled in an avant-garde style by architects Roger Taillibert and Siavash Teimouri. A year later it became the permanent home of the newly-formed PSG.
It's current UEFA capacity is 45,000, but the record attendance for a football match remains the 49,575 set at the 1983 UEFA cup quarter-final between PSG and SV Waterschei Thor.
Parc Des Princes is well connected – roughly 4km south-west of the Eiffel Tower, it's served by the Périphérique ring-road and Porte de Saint-Cloud Metro station (Line 9), a five-minute walk away. Line 9 runs through the city centre, alternatively Porte d'Auteuil on Line 10 is about a 10-minute walk from the ground.
Each host city has committed to providing a Fan Zone where supporters are able to gather and watch the matches on big screens, for free. The size and scope of these vary from city to city, however, and while they will all be equipped with fast food stalls and information from tournament sponsors, five-a-side pitches and the usual facilities, don't assume that what applied in one city will apply in the next.
Some are open only for matches that are played in the host city itself, others for their own matches plus those of the French national team, while others will show every game.
Paris' fanzone will be in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower on the Champ de Mars. We're still awaiting full details of opening times and capacity, but it will prove to be one of the largest football parties in France throughout the summer.

The Industry Ministry will make the investment for the next 10 years together with the Ministry of Science and ICT, titling the project "Next-Generation Intelligent Semiconductor Technology Development Project."
The ministry plans to begin a process for a feasibility test on Aug. 8.
Industry Minister Paik Un-gyu announced the government's plan during meetings with semiconductor industry officials at Samsung Electronics' memory fabrication plant in Pyeongtaek and SK hynix's in Icheon, both in Gyeonggi Province.
The meetings were held to promote investments in the chip industry and discuss countermeasures for competitors like China, which is rapidly chasing after Korea with massive investments.
|Minister Paik Un-gyu walks in at SK hynix's headquarters in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, on Monday. (MOTIE)
"Korea will develop next-generation diodes and materials that will replace existing memory chips such as DRAM and NAND flash that have reached technological limits," Paik said.
The government will also foster fabless and foundry businesses by helping system-on-chip developers get easier access to manufacturing facilities.
While Samsung and SK hynix take up nearly 70 percent of the global memory chip market, the Korean chipmakers account for less than 3 percent of the non-memory market, according to ministry data.
To support fabless companies, the ministry will open a center for SoC development, which will back launches of those firms.
|Minister Paik Un-gyu at Samsung Electronics' plant in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province (MOTIE)
"Korea will also create a global manufacturing hub by attracting semiconductor equipment builders and material makers from other countries to establish their production lines in the country," the minister said.
The ministry will come up with deregulatory measures and investment incentives for companies including AMAT and Air Products & Chemicals from the United States and ASML from the Netherlands.
Paik also expressed his gratitude for the Korean chipmakers' efforts to continue their investments, and encouraged them to do more.
SK hynix on Friday announced an investment plan of around 15 trillion won for an additional memory chip fab in Icheon. The chipmaker will break ground for the new plant at the end of the year.
At Samsung's Pyeongtaek complex, Paik was briefed on the company's execution of an investment plan worth 30 trillion won that was first announced in 2015.
The minister also urged Samsung to take the lead in aggressive investments in the near future.
Kim Dong-yeon, deputy prime minister for economy, is expected to visit the Samsung plant in Pyeongtaek next week to discuss the tech titan's upcoming investment and job creation plans.
Samsung heir Lee Jae-yong is anticipated to attend the meeting.

We are delighted to publish The Daffodil Sky by H. E. Bates, first published in 1955, that mixes eclectic characters travelling to foreign lands with poetic treatments of rural life in Bates's Northamptonshire.
The latest instalment in Bloomsbury Reader's republication of all of Bates's collections, the Times noted that "there is no better writer of straightforward short stories…Mr. Bates writes simply; his instinct is a deep compassion." This collection illustrates his ability both to feel deeply, and then to reflect sensitively on the page.
'A Place in the Heart' is set in Asia against a colourful backdrop of rickshaws and ceremonial drumming. An Englishman, shortly before returning home, romances a local girl in this tale of lost love when his inarticulate and flippant goodbye is achingly contrasted with her disappointment.
"Only her enormous black-brown eyes seemed to have permanence or solidity. All the time they transfixed him with a sort of troubled amazement: as if somewhere or other she had seen him before."
Closer to home, 'The Evolution of Saxby', one of Bates's best-known stories, concerns a cold, controlling woman who buys, decorates and sells one house after another. Challenging this notion of constant movement is her sweet but helpless husband, who wants only to settle down and garden in a place to call home.
This new edition of The Daffodil Sky is enhanced by an additional story, 'The Letter,' – never before published in any collection and only recently rediscovered – where a mother struggles to write a letter to her son, the reasons behind her complex emotions gradually becoming clear.
If you are new to Bates, why not try our free short story, Castle in the Air, to find out why Graham Green named him as England's successor to Chekhov.

There's no talking to Grams today. Our Bookah is in Montgomery Alabama and Bookah's significant squeeze may, or may not, be in Hattiesburg Mississippi. She's an attorney. He's a professor. Grams hasn't been able to reach them since yesterday when Nick was thinking of diving back to Hattiesburg. When she called later, the line was out of order. She hasn't been able to reach them today.
We should know something by tomorrow. As Grams would say, "Lord willin' and the crick don't rise." I'm not telling her, but I think the crick done rose.
Please give what you can to Médecins sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders).
UPDATE: Mardi 0900. Nick got home ahead of the storm and rode it out as the eye went over Hattiesburg. Bookah is high and dry in Montgomery. Grams is relieved and not nearly so grumpy now.
*Orange you gonna tell me that you love me?
Orange you gonna tell me you'll be true?
Orange you gonna say that you're my sweetie,
And that you will never leave me blue?

for Bookah a long time ago)

This is a many-tentacled* story, so please hold on tight to your pirate hat:
My job entails wearing many hats, but on the first day of each summer camp "wearing many hats" is my mandate. On these days I escape my art teacher persona to ham it up on stage and "let it all hang out" as we used to say in the Sixties. This is not the right moment for me to get distracted by idioms involving the word hang, but if you've got the time, this is the place. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
So after I skipped around the stage wearing Little Red's hood and carrying a basket of goodies, I changed to the rat hat. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a very scary story. It ranks right up their with the mice in "The Nutcracker" and the flying monkeys in Oz. "Does anyone know what pied means?" Yes! Yes! I do! I do! One student started telling us the digits, 3.14159265358979323846. No, not that pi. We pantomime throwing a clown cream pie in his face.
Did Harold ever draw a quiche with his purple crayon? What about a Frito pie? Harold did draw the nine kinds of pie that he liked best? And what about Old King Cole with the four and twenty blackbirds?
We are still looking for the meaning of pied. I'm pleased to learn about the Heckle and Jeckle magpie connection.
pied 1382, as if it were the pp. of a verb form of M.E. noun pie "magpie" (see pie (2)), in ref. to the bird's black and white plumage. Earliest use is in reference to the pyed freres, an order of friars who wore black and white. Also in pied piper (1845, in Browning's poem based on the Ger. legend; used allusively from 1942).
pie (1) "pastry," 1303, from M.L. pie "meat or fish enclosed in pastry," perhaps related to M.L. pia "pie, pastry," also possibly connected with pica "magpie" (see pie (2)) on notion of the bird's habit of collecting miscellaneous objects. Not known outside Eng., except Gaelic pighe, which is from Eng. In the Middle Ages, a pie had many ingredients, a pastry but one. Fruit pies began to appear c.1600. Fig. sense of "something easy" is from 1889. Pie-eyed "drunk" is from 1904. Phrase pie in the sky is 1911, from Joe Hill's Wobbly parody of hymns. Pieman is not attested earlier than the nursery rhyme "Simple Simon" (c.1820).
pie (2) "magpie," c.1250, from O.Fr. pie (13c.), from L. pica "magpie," related to picus "woodpecker," Umbrian peica "the magpie," Skt. pikah "Indian cuckoo," O.N. spætr, Ger. Specht "woodpecker" (see magpie).
pie (3) printers' slang for "a mass of type jumbled together" (also pi, pye), 1659, perhaps from pie (1) on notion of a "medley," or pie (2) (see pica).
And so, so, so, so..."pied" means multi-colored.
Went to see Johnny Depp and OrlandoBloom in "Pirates of the Caribbean--Dead Man's Chest" yesterday. I'm fond of pirates, but not of nightmares. How many children will have octopus nightmares after watching the movie's Davy Jones?
One of the best ways to get over nightmares is to learn about the subject. An octopus is a fascinating, curious, smart creature, although difficult to pluralize. I have two books I love to share with elementary students, Karen Wallace's Gentle Giant Octopus, and the Smithsonian book, Octopus' Den.
1758, genus name of a type of eight-armed cephalopod mollusks, from Gk. oktopous "eight-footed," from okto "eight" + pous "foot." Proper plural is octopodes, though octopuses probably works better in English. Octopi is from mistaken assumption that -us is the L. noun ending that takes -i in plural.
*And now for a little song from Nat King Cole, who may or may not have liked pie.
Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing.

Today marked the first day of our visit from the Kindness Elves, and so far so good! (Although I hadn't appreciated how much of a watertight story I'd need to have rehearsed!)
The children woke up a little later than normal, although Erin was up first (as is usual in our household!) and had already found the elves hiding in the Christmas tree along with the letter from Santa.
I explained that we would go to one of the local charity shops, but that we needed to find some things that we could donate (and what that meant). Erin was all for it, and we got a bag together and made our way into town. One thing I hadn't accounted for was how much stuff we would bring back from the charity shop (!!!!) but I told them that the money we gave the lady for the "new" things would also go to help people in need. Erin seemed quite pleased with this.
The aim was to put the elves to bed in their little sleeping bags under the tree, mostly so I could find them in the evening to set up for the next day - this was fine for their daytime sleep (the elves'!) but bedtime was a little trickier. Erin was adamant that her elf would sleep in bed with her, and the compromise was on her bedside table - although I did say that the Christmas tree would remind them of their home in the North Pole so he may sneak back into the lounge whilst she was asleep!!!
On the whole, it's been a great day so far, and I'm looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow. We definitely couldn't have managed more in terms of the level of understanding. The activities we've got will be about right for under 4's but I'm hoping it will become clearer the more we do!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's activity!

7 Benefits of Running Regularly
We all know that exercise is beneficial to our health, regardless of the type or intensity. The human body is made to move, not be sedentary. Just like other exercises, running has some important and beneficial side effects that you may not be aware of. Check out all the ways running can help your body, mind, and soul.
Cardiovascular Health
Running is one of the most beneficial exercises for your heart. During running (or any aerobic activity) your heart pumps faster, increasing blood flow to the body and increasing oxygen consumption. This increase in effort can help to lower blood pressure, keep arteries healthy, and reduce cholesterol. In addition, running lowers your resting heart rate, making it easier to pump blood through the body during times of inactivity. A word of caution, however, running obviously puts a strain on the heart and can be dangerous for someone with a cardiac condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (when the heart muscle gets abnormally thick, impeding the pumping of blood).
Increases Lung Capacity
In order to for the lungs to keep up with the heart, runners must breathe faster. This increase delivers more oxygen to the muscles, increasing endurance and reducing fatigue. In addition, this constant exercise of the lungs increases its capacity, making it possible to take in more air.
Improves Mental Health
We've all heard of the "Runner's High," a feeling of euphoria that comes from our bodies in motion. During exercise, our bodies release endorphins which are a natural antidepressant and pain reliever (which is also why some pains like headaches and menstrual cramps feel better during a run). In addition, frequent exercise makes the body feel stronger, leading to a better mood. And if you do your training outside during the day, the vitamin D from the sun is also a natural mood booster.
Weight Control
By engaging in regular physical activity, your metabolism increases, enabling your body to burn calories at a faster rate. And this burn doesn't stop at the end of your run, a runner can torch calories at a faster rate at rest as well. A word of caution: be aware that since running is a mega calorie burner, it can also make you mega hungry. Keep an eye on your eating habits to ensure you don't go overboard to replace that energy.
Strengthens Immune System
During periods of aerobic exercise, the body increases immunoglobulins, an antibody useful in fighting infections. This ultimately leads to a stronger immune system, helping you fight off more bugs that come your way. However, be careful to not over train, as it can break down the body and cause your immune system to weaken, making your more prone to illness.
Increased Joint Strength
While many people think that running is bad on the joints, the opposite is actually true. Running strengthens the ligaments and tendons in your legs which in turn take some of the stress off the joints. However, if you already have a condition that is worsened by weight bearing repetitive motion exercise like running, it can cause added stress to the joints causing them to break down at a faster rate.
It's Affordable
While this isn't necessarily a benefit, running is a good option for someone on a budget. Out of all the sports the human body participates in, running is one of the cheapest. While all you need is a pair of shoes (some people don't even think you need that), running can be done anywhere at any time. You don't need any expensive equipment or a gym membership, simply go outside and put one foot in front of the other.

Everybody wants to rule the world, right? Well, thankfully not. For every wannabe dictator, there's millions of regular folk that just want to be ordinary Joes. But in the realm of superheroes, there's plenty of megalomaniacs that try to take over the world on a regular basis. Whether they're just plain mad, or they genuinely believe they're the best man or woman for the job, there's never been a shortage of overly ambitious baddies that have sought after the biggest throne of all. Fortunately for the rest of us, there's an abundance of spandex clad good guys out there that are willing to risk life and limb to stop them.
But what if those heroes chose to go bad? Which ones possess the power and skills to actually take over the world? Well, there's plenty to be honest, and in some alternate continuities, these heroes actually elected to do just that. So, considering their various strengths and tactics, we take a look at 15 Superheroes That Could Rule The World If They Wanted To.
15 Superman
Few superheroes cause as many philosophical debates as Superman. The man from another world with the power of a god is seen by some as a messiah-like figure, sent by his father to save us from ourselves. There's certainly plenty of allegory to pick apart when it comes to his origins. But what if he wasn't sent to save us, but to rule us? It was the central question of both Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman, along with countless other comics, and it continues to be an interesting premise.
Despite his weakness to kryptonite, Superman remains one of the most powerful beings in all of comic book history, and his silver-age version was almost unstoppable. If he chose to, he could wipe out most of those who would oppose him with relative ease. If he had time to plan (or rather, if his opponent didn't), he could incinerate Batman from a distance, long before the Caped Crusader had the chance to create a kryptonite weapon.
With so much god-like power at his disposal, we're lucky he's a good guy.
14 Hulk
"Hulk is the strongest one there is." While several heroes and villains come close, when the Hulk gets mad, his strength increases exponentially, seemingly without limit. During the events of World War Hulk, he defeated and imprisoned the majority of Earth's heroes and forced them to battle each other in retribution for banishing him and (seemingly) causing the death of his wife. While Hulk was eventually defeated by the only hero who could match him, The Sentry, he essentially threw the fight after discovering the treachery of his ally Miek.
Should Hulk ever wish to in the future, he could potentially defeat the entire Avengers roster if he were pissed off enough. Or, if he were in one of his smarter guises such as the Professor Hulk or The Maestro, he could use cunning strategy and his world-class scientific mind to defeat them.
While Hulk remains a mostly heroic figure, he does tend to do battle with other heroes fairly frequently. Should he ever go fully to the dark side, very few would be able to stand against him for long. The only question would be, what would be left of the world in the aftermath?
13 Doctor Fate
While many people have worn the Helmet of Fate over the years, his status as a lord of order has remained constant. He is dedicated to the side of good, and uses his considerable power to fight the forces of evil.
But what if the lord of order decided to force order on a chaotic world? While Superman remains one of the Justice League's biggest guns, his weakness to magic is well known. Doctor Fate would be able to incapacitate or kill the Man of Steel and Batman before taking on those who have their own affinity for magic, such as Zatanna.
With near limitless power at his disposal, both heroes and villains alike would be unable to stand against him for long, as Fate would be able to turn them against each other before taking out the most powerful of the remaining warriors all by himself. Once he's taken out the most powerful opposition, it's a simple matter to dominate the world's leaders and rule, perhaps forever.
12 Cable
Born in the present day, Nathan Christopher Summers was a mutant with the potential to become the most powerful being on the planet. His gifts gave him the potential to have limitless telepathic and telekinetic power, enough to defeat any foe. Sensing the boy's potential, the villain Apocalypse targeted him with a techno-organic virus which, while not killing him, limited his powers for much of his life. Cable grew up in the future, raised by his time-displaced parents for quite some time. Eventually, he became the leader of a resistance to the evil rulers of his era, becoming a hardened general, as well as a guerrilla fighter of the highest caliber. Gifted with a genius intellect, he also became skilled with developing new technologies.
While Cable's powers are usually diminished, he remains a skilled soldier. Even when in the final stages of dying from the techno virus, he managed to defeat Captain America, Iron Man, Falcon, and Red Hulk with little prep time, merely through the use of intelligent tactics.
If Cable set his sights on world domination, it would most likely be achieved by amassing additional support and using his skills as a general to cause simultaneous situations around the globe, stretching the world's resources thin before taking out strategic targets. Should he be able to access his full power, he could simply use his telepathic and telekinetic abilities to take over the world via sheer force and mass-mind control.
11 Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff possesses the ability to both alter probabilities and tap into the natural magical forces that permeate the universe. Unlike Doctor Strange, who had to earn his power through study, Wanda was born with the ability to use magic and serves as a conduit for that energy.
Wanda has shown the ability to tap into incredible sources of magical and extra-dimensional power, such as chaos magic, the so-called life-force, and even the Phoenix Force, giving her limitless power. On one occasion, while suffering deep emotional trauma, she used the life-force to alter all of reality and create the House of M universe, re-writing the history books to suit her desires. At the end of that crisis, she cast her most powerful spell yet by uttering the simple words, "No more mutants", which caused 98% of the world's mutants to lose their powers in an instant.
While she is once again a hero, she could potentially go bad again, and if she could use her command of magic to wipe out her opposition before they even knew what was happening.
10 Thor
Prior to the modern age of heroes, Thor was one of few beings to walk the Earth with the powers of a god. Had he been so inclined, he could have ruled the world centuries ago with only beings such as Apocalypse, Selene, and Exodus having the potential to stop him. If he'd done so, the world could have looked very different and we would have a Marvel universe where Viking culture was the dominant force on Earth. In one alternate timeline, Thor (using the Odinforce) DID rule the world for many years. He undid the timeline, thankfully, and this will not come to pass.
At his classic power levels, only Hulk and perhaps Doctor Strange can surpass him in strength and magic, respectively. If in possession of the Odinforce, Thor may well be able to defeat both of them. Certainly, he could use Mjolnir to open a portal to the other side of the galaxy and send Hulk there, eliminating the most powerful opposition he'd likely face. Indeed, it's only Thor's behavior that could be used against him, but if he were to use his centuries of wisdom to his advantage, he may well be more than anyone could handle.
9 The Flash
The Flash is one of the most powerful beings in existence and is arguably far more powerful than heavy hitters such as Superman. His infinite mass punch is able to destroy almost anything, possibly including the Man of Steel himself.
But it's not just raw power that makes the Flash capable of taking over the world; it's his ability to be almost anywhere at once. Anyone that plotted against him would have to come up with a viable method for stopping him that The Flash could not evade, and possibly use against them. The man can outrun pretty much anything, even a nuclear explosion.
While Flash's speed is often merely used to run extremely fast, he's also able to think thousands of times faster than the average man. This means that, even when caught off-guard, he has ample time to think of a response to any given situation. He's a very hard man to catch off-guard, of course, and therefore could find himself almost unbeatable if he chose to take over the world. And if he happened to find himself on the verge of defeat? He could simply sprint backward through time and try again, no big whoop.
8 Franklin Richards
Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue, is one of the most powerful entities in the universe. At full-power, there's literally nothing he can't do. At the end of the Onslaught crisis, he reached out to his mother, and by sheer instinct, created a universe to protect her and his family and friends until he could save them. Seriously, he created a universe in an instant -- and he was six years old.
If Franklin were to decide to rule the world, he could do so in an instant with minimal effort. Even the mightiest of heroes and villains would be powerless to stop him. Indeed, it would take the collective power of the Elders of The Universe or the One Above All to prevent his domination of the universe itself.
Thankfully, Franklin is still a boy who is primarily interested in play-time. Should he grow up to be a megalomaniac, however, it would be a pretty straightforward process to world domination. Dare we say...it would be child's play?
7 Batman
Simply put, if Batman wanted to rule the world, he could because he's Batman. But to elaborate further, it's in his guise as Bruce Wayne that Batman is truly most dangerous. He's a handsome, intelligent, charismatic billionaire, and he could cakewalk into the Presidency of the United States if he were to run. After all, Lex Luther pulled it off.
Once elected, his crimefighting tactics would be augmented nicely by his position as Commander in Chief of the largest military force in the world. If the other superheroes stood against him, not only would he have his contingency plans from his Batman days, but the combined forces of the U.S. military. Assuming that half the heroes of the Justice League stood with him (he's usually got at least a few pals in his corner), he could spread American influence pretty quickly and take over the world in short order.
Indeed, the Dark Knight could rule the world without ever donning the cowl or throwing a single punch. Because he's Batman.
6 Mystique
While often considered an outright villain, Mystique is one of those morally ambiguous characters who flirts between good and evil. She's often been on the side of mutant rights, but like Magneto, she isn't afraid to use extreme violence to achieve her goals.
While Mystique lacks raw power, she is a cunning and skilled operator who could use her shapeshifting power to assume the identity of any world leader and simply take their place. Once she had done this, and considering the fact that she barely ages, she could begin the process of creating a political union of the major powers and eventually take over the world, all the while slipping into new identities so nobody is aware that she is the one taking control. Over the centuries, Mystique could be dozens of world leaders until eventually declaring herself empress for life of a new world order. While ruling via political manipulation may not be as quick as annihilating the opposition in one fell swoop, but it would certainly be effective.
5 Cyborg
While Cyborg may not be the biggest gun in the Justice League, he has the potential to be their most powerful member in the digital age by simply taking over the world's computers. While this may not seem like much of a superpower on the surface, it affords him multiple opportunities for world domination.
Not only can he access the world's nuclear arsenal and either hold the world to ransom or actually initiate Armageddon, but he would also be in control of the majority of the world's media. By using simple propaganda, he could steer people to believe whatever he wanted, inciting wars and conflicts in order to bring the world to its knees.
Alternatively, he could also access anybody's private data and blackmail the world into giving him ever more political power. In a digital age, he could be the ultimate weapon for evil if he so chose.
4 Charles Xavier
Despite being compared to Martin Luther King and often considered to be a good guy, Professor Charles Francis Xavier has a hell of a dark side. Not only did he lust after Jean Grey when she was still a teenager (and his student) but his dark psyche attacked the X-Men on several occasions, most notably during the Onslaught incident.
Xavier, like Batman, has contingencies to defeat all his allies as well as his adversaries, should either of them present an obstacle. When he transformed into the evil Onslaught, these "Xavier Protocols" were exposed, and his students realized that Xavier had plans to kill each and every one of them if need be.
While Onslaught was eventually defeated, Xavier does still show dark impulses from time to time. He's currently dead, but this is a comic book character we're talking about, so he won't stay that way. Should he return with his dark side dominant, he could use worldwide mind control in concert with his knowledge of his friends and enemy's weaknesses to threaten the world once more.
3 Iron Man
Another super-rich superhero that could buy his way into the presidency is Iron Man. Tony Stark has often shown that he feels his genius means he knows better than other heroes, and he's turned against them in the past in pursuit of what he believes he is right (see Armour Wars, Civil War and Civil War II). Should he do so again, and in the White House no less, he could use the resources of the U.S. government to mass produce Iron Man drones and enforce his domination of the planet. Indeed, if he were to combine Stark tech with Sentinel technology, he could create massive Sentinel-sized Iron Men powerful enough to conquer the planet as well as neutralize any superhuman resistance.
With enormous technological resources, seemingly unlimited funds, and possibly a number of superhumans loyal to his cause, global domination would be quite possible for Iron Man. It's a good thing for the Marvel universe that he seems disinterested in ruling the world…for now.
2 Kyle Rayner/White Lantern
Unlike the Green Lanterns, the White Lantern (Kyle Rayner) possesses the powers of the entire emotional spectrum, making him one of the most powerful beings in the universe. His abilities are potentially limitless, making his character the only thing preventing him ruling the world.
With such enormous power, there's no military force that could oppose him. Even the world's entire military force combined would be unable to prevent his rule. As for the combined efforts of the Justice League and the assorted heroes and villains of the DC universe, even they may be unable to prevent White Lantern ruling the world. Even the god-like strength of Superman would be unable to combat a near-omnipotent being with total control over life and death.
On the plus side, White Lantern is inherently a good guy, so his rule may be a benevolent one. If it weren't for whatever reason, we'd be in one hell of a pickle.
1 Reed Richards
It goes without saying that Reed Richards is the smartest superhero there is. He is a genius whose intellect lends itself to all forms of science, as well as a vast number of disciplines too numerous to list here. While his social skills could use some work, there's few problems he couldn't overcome with a little thought.
Reed has, at times, attempted to use his genius to influence society by means other than the hard sciences. He once conquered Latveria when Doom was believed dead in order to establish a safe and free country. He also joined Iron Man in enforcing the superhuman registration act during the original Civil War, having come to the conclusion that only by registering superhumans could the world avoid an apocalypse.
Should he return from his adventures in the multiverse and decide that the world needs his genius to guide it, he could come up with countermeasures to all of Earth's superhuman community (as well as more conventional militaristic forces). With only Doctor Doom and Black Panther as his true rivals when it comes to brain power -- and with the two being unlikely to work well together -- Reed could well be the one to rule the world after a brief, but decisive war.
Got any theories as to who else could conquer the world? Let us know in the comments!
