...with the sound of nonstop partying, feuding, and backstabbing. In a tabloid-weary culture, what exactly is the appeal of MTV's reality hit?
Idle girl-talk wafts through Lauren Conrad's cozy L.A. apartment, as she and roommate Audrina Patridge carry on about party plans, boys, and random celebrity sightings (Melissa Rivers!?). They have, in fact, drifted from dissecting last night's exploits into non sequitur land — "I'm kind of wondering if this is even a dress I'm wearing or just a long shirt," Lauren observes of her floaty white number.
But when Lauren suddenly picks up her BlackBerry, the four-person crew that's watching her every move on handheld monitors on her balcony buzzes to life. A producer barks into his walkie-talkie to the camera operators stationed inside, "See who she's texting!"
As the shot zooms in on the device in her hands, the urgency is palpable: OMG, who is she texting? Then, when she puts down the BlackBerry to admonish Audrina for not getting home until seven this morning, the text message is forgotten. Suddenly, the most important question in the world seems to be: OMG, why was she out so late?
And that pretty much encapsulates the appeal of The Hills — where gossipy little trifles pique emergency-level curiosity until a few seconds later when another shiny bauble deflects attention elsewhere. It's a hypnotizing kind of voyeurism that MTV first cultivated four years ago with high school reality sensation Laguna Beach. But this spin-off, which follows Beacher Lauren, 21, as she navigates the rough waters of handheld electronics, making out, and backstabbing in L.A., seems to have perfected it. And because loyal audiences have known Lauren for four seasons now — and have gotten pretty cozy with BFFs Audrina and Whitney Port as well as estranged former roommate Heidi Montag — they've become familiar with the rhythms of her life. That is, the TV version of her life — which, of course, is totally real, except for…well, we'll get to that in a second.
For now, suffice it to say that 2.7 million viewers were transfixed by The Hills during its second outing last winter, making it MTV's highest-rated series. Season 3, which premieres Aug. 13 at 10 p.m., promises to be even bigger because of the tabloids' incessant coverage of the gals' between-seasons story lines — er, lives. It's a level of buzz heretofore unheard of for MTV-manufactured reality stars and good news for a network that lives or dies by its pop cultural relevance. "We have this six-month commercial for the show [with the tabloid coverage] that doesn't give away the narrative in full," says Brian Graden, president of entertainment, MTV Networks. "It's a kind of postmodern marketing. We're living in an age of TMZ and Perez Hilton — The Hills indulges that."
The Hills began in May 2006 as an attempt to capitalize on Laguna Beach — which was peaking in popularity, but volatile to produce because of its reliance on real high school kids. The pitch: Follow the likable narrator of Laguna's first season, Lauren, as she ventures to Los Angeles for fashion school — a small-town-girl-makes-good story, "the reality version of That Girl or Mary Tyler Moore," as exec producer Tony DiSanto calls it.
Lucky for MTV, their Marlo Thomas wasn't camera-shy. "I said yes right away," Lauren says, nursing a strawberry martini at Hills hot spot Lola's with Audrina and Whitney. "I wanted to do a show with people I liked. For so long I'd done a show with people I didn't like."
NEXT PAGE: Engagements, "retirements" — and that alleged sex tape
Those people she liked, at the time, included Heidi, 20 — a friend from her brief stint at college in San Francisco — who became her roommate in L.A. The first season played on the push-and-pull of the duo's work and personal lives: Lauren's internship at Teen Vogue versus lingering Laguna boyfriend Jason Wahler; Heidi 's job at a party-planning firm versus her general aversion to work. But things heated up in season 2 with the arrival of plotline-hijacking, ratings-boosting Spencer Pratt, who became Heidi 's boyfriend and Lauren's nemesis. By the finale, Heidi had moved in with him. "I thought he was going to be a quiet, secondary guy," DiSanto says. "The big surprise was what a really dynamic character he is."
Heading into this season, Lauren and Heidi aren't speaking — they refuse to be interviewed together and are filming separate story lines. Aside from — or perhaps because of — that glitch, it promises to be the most…mature season ever? (Maturity being relative here, of course.) Whitney, 22, gets promoted to a full-time gig at Teen Vogue that makes her Lauren's boss; Audrina, 21, is dealing with her first real boyfriend. Lauren, meanwhile, is struggling with post-Heidi life and run-ins with her least-favorite couple. And said couple is navigating cohabitation while maybe, possibly getting engaged…or not, depending on whom you talk to.
That's where "reality" gets confusing. It was reported that Heidi and Spencer had gotten betrothed, and promos for the season show him presenting her with a sizable rock; the couple, however, claim it was a "promise ring." To wit, Heidi shows up for an interview at Hills brunch fave Toast with Spencer in tow but no bling. "We can't wait to see how they edit that," Spencer scoffs. "We would get engaged; we just wouldn't do it on Lauren's show."
In fact, the stars' tabloid-worthiness forced producers to develop a policy against showing the girls as celebs — this isn't, after all, Newlyweds or The Osbournes. The season premiere does address the purported sex tape featuring Lauren and her ex Jason (Lauren denies it exists), but it's treated as a "vicious rumor" and the subject of an explosive confrontation with Heidi — not as the national news it became. "We want viewers to watch Lauren and the girls as the characters we know instead of in a show about being the stars of The Hills," DiSanto says. "You want to present the reality, but you don't want to take viewers out of the drama."
Ah, yes, the reality. The eternal question, when it comes to The Hills. Heidi and Spencer trash the series' accuracy and voice qualms about how they're depicted in Lauren's voice-over. They even claim they faked arguments last season: "We don't fight in real life," Spencer says. "The only fighting was for the show. But we're not playing that game this year."
Lauren, however, cops to no such antics. "They can never make you say or do something," she says. "You can always blame editing, but they can't do magic." And producers, for their part, swear they don't stage story lines — but does it even matter? "I really believe viewers are watching it not necessarily as reality versus fiction," DiSanto adds, "but as the story of these characters they're into."
Perhaps. But how long will those "characters" tolerate being followed by cameras? "I almost didn't do this season," Lauren says. "It wasn't so much about the filming, but I didn't want to do a show with the other people on it." Speaking of whom…Heidi is sort of over the whole thing herself. "I don't know if I could do another season," she sighs. "Being on a reality show is not very glamorous."
So she's considering retiring, as it were? "There's a difference between reality TV and being on a show narrated by Lauren," clarifies Spencer, who, naturally, also functions as Heidi's manager. "She could be on reality TV for 20 years." And thank God — or at least postmodernism — for that.

As a sports nutritionist, the number-one question I'm asked is how to properly fuel for a run and still lose weight. Many people turn to running when they want to drop a few pounds, but instead of losing weight they end up gaining. What gives? Every runner knows that their favorite sport requires proper fueling. Running without enough food in your body is not only torturous, but it will also seriously decrease your performance, you'll burn fewer calories, and then your weight-loss goals are out the window.
It's quite the conundrum, but don't hang up those running sneaks just yet. Try these tips to fuel your run while still burning enough calories to lose weight.
1. Consider the length of your run. Before you pick up that bagel, consider how long you'll be out on the pavement. If you've eaten within the last two or three hours and you plan on running for 20 to 30 minutes, you actually don't need much extra fuel. But if you're feeling absolutely famished and just need a little extra push to get out the door, grab a piece of fruit. For longer runs, wear a fitness tracker to get a sense of how many calories you actually burn. Sadly, it's not always as many as you think. A 150-pound person would have to run for 50 minutes (at 10 miles/hour) to burn 500 calories—the same amount in your average bagel.
2. Know when you need a sports drink. Sugary drinks are the downfall of every dieter. While sport drinks are often necessary for long-distance runners, since they replace water and electrolytes lost from sweat, they're packed with sugar and calories. So, they key is knowing that sports drinks are unnecessary for any run lasting less than 60 minutes. After an hour, drink one that's diluted with water, or try a lower-calorie option, like G2, to fuel your run without going crazy on sugar.
3. Choose whole grains. While white, starchy grains are low in fiber and won't cause stomach distress, they are also problematic for dieting (even for a runner). White refined starches lack many nutrients aside from carbohydrates, making it easy to overeat. Opt for whole grains as pre-run fuel instead—they're higher in fiber and protein to keep you feeling full and energized during your run. (Find out what to eat before a race.)
4. Plan ahead. A common downfall for dieting is not having a plan, especially for runners. Without thinking about your meals ahead of time, it's very easy to find yourself in a situation where you over- or undereat before a run, meaning a less-than-perfect performance. To lose weight, you must have a plan that includes a great pre-run fueling meal, made up of complex carbs (vegetables, whole grains) and protein. You'll also want a small snack of simple carbs, like a piece of fruit, an hour before a run. Having a plan in place prevents you from getting off track and picking up the first piece of junk food that you see. (Find out what foods to eat before and after a workout.)
5. Recover properly. The recovery meal is just as important for your weight-loss goals as the pre-run fuel. After a run, you should eat a meal that is about half carbs and half protein. The carbs replace lost carb stores and the protein helps to repair worn-down muscles. Both of these nutrients will help you recover more quickly, so that you'll have fuel for tomorrow's run. Maintaining an exercise routine is a large part of weight loss, so it's imperative that you eat a good recovery meal to help you feel better for the next day.

Last week, Gail and Rachel from the Axcis Liverpool office went along to the Manchester Metropolitan University conference on "Transforming the Role of the SENCo". With some fantastic speakers and practical workshops, it was a day packed full of useful information for all in attendance.
"The main objective of national SENCO training is to increase the participation of pupils with SEN and/or disabilities and raise their achievement through developing SENCo's professional attributes and improving their knowledge, understanding and skills (NCTL)."
Topics and Speakers
The conference this year had a strong focus on the implementation of the 'Children and Families Act' (2014) with a view to enhancing knowledge, skills, attributes and understanding. Speakers were Professor Sonia Blandford, founder and CEO of the national charity for All 3As. Professor Alan Dyson, from the University of Manchester, Co-Director, Centre for Equity in Education and final speaker was Jane Friswell, CEO of Nasen.
The workshops on offer were really useful and included topics such as Behaviour & Mental Health needs run by Janice Cahill – Head Teacher of the Pendlebury Centre PRU, and SEN Resourcing run by Kay Hill – an independent SEN Consultant.
On the Axcis stand
As always, Axcis staff were on hand to offer help and support to both delegates and speakers on the subject of recruitment. We recognise that it's not always easy to find SEND Teachers and Support Staff with the right qualifications and skills when you need them. Especially when it comes to last-minute vacancies. Staff working in schools must undergo a rigorous set of background checks, and as any school or local authority can tell you – sometimes these can take a very long time to get through! That's why so many schools come to us. At Axcis, we interview and vet a continuous stream of candidates with wide-ranging SEND skills and training – meaning that we will almost always have candidates suitable for working with a range of different special educational needs, such as SEMH, Autism, Moderate Learning Difficulties or those with more complex needs and who might need staff with a combination of education and care skills.
If you are seeking staff, or a job in the Manchester/Liverpool areas…
Axcis has offices covering the majority of the UK, but if you were at the SENCo conference and would like to find staff, or your next school position with SEND in the local area, why not get in touch? It's completely free to register with Axcis and takes just a few minutes. Leave your vacancy with us and we will send you only the best, most suitable candidates for consideration – and you don't pay a penny unless you decide we have found you someone you want to hire on a temporary or permanent basis. Not only that, but Axcis finds specialist staff at mainstream prices! So don't be put off by the idea of using a specialist agency – it won't usually cost you any more than your current supply staffing arrangements (and you might find someone far more suitably qualified, too!)
What if I am a SENCo looking for a more permanent role?
Axcis works closely with many special schools and leadership teams. We are often asked to find staff for permanent roles which offer excellent progression for those who are currently working as classroom teachers, department leaders, SENCos and Assistant/Deputy Heads. Despite being an agency, we don't just offer short-term supply staff to plug your staffing gaps! So, if you are interested in seeking your next permanent post, get in touch for a confidential discussion with your local office. You'll have an experienced, professional consultant supporting you who understands that this can be a sensitive time.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman issued a decision Dec. 25 demanding that the head of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, halt all forms of local political meetings and coordination with Palestinian officials. This decision was in response to the Dec. 23 UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Israeli settlements.
Palestinian officials viewed the decision — which did not include security coordination given its importance to both Palestinians and Israelis — as media hype to address Israeli public opinion. The Israeli opposition has leveled harsh criticism against Benjamin Netanyahu's government for the UN resolution.
On Dec. 30, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas criticized Liberman's decision and rejected Israel's method of dealing with the Palestinians. He stressed that security coordination between both sides will continue, considering it a common Israeli-Palestinian interest.
The UN resolution, which Palestinians described as historic, was adopted with 14 votes, while the United States abstained without vetoing the resolution. Netanyahu, however, said it was a "shameful" resolution and accused the Obama administration of standing behind it.
Wassel Abu Yousef, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, told Al-Monitor, "It is in the Palestinians' interest to end all forms of civil, political and security coordination with Israel and to hold [Israel] accountable for all of the crimes committed against the Palestinian people."
Abu Yousef added that whatever the punitive measures against Palestinians are, Israel will not keep them from obtaining their rights via international institutions. He called on the PA to implement the March 5, 2015, PLO Central Council's decisions, including the decision to halt all forms of coordination, as well security coordination with Israel.
He pointed out that Israel cannot take more punitive measures against the Palestinian people than the measures they have already taken: confiscating land in the West Bank, building settlements and carrying out field executions against Palestinians. He explained that the next PA step is to stress the UN Security Council's condemnation of settlements in the Peace Conference scheduled for Jan. 15 in Paris and to compel Israel to abide by it.
Speaking to Al-Monitor, Mustafa Barghouti, the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, described Liberman's decision as nothing but "hollow threats" that has no importance on the ground, given that Israel takes punitive measures against Palestinians on a daily basis.
Barghouti said, "If Israel wants to end civil coordination, then the PA must stop security coordination, implement the PLO Central Council's decision to define ties with Israel and end all ties and coordination with Israel."
He demanded that the PA not succumb to Israeli and US threats — especially US President-elect Donald Trump's threat that things will be different in the UN Security Council after Jan 20, promises to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and statements encouraging settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Speaking to Al-Monitor, Kayed al-Ghul, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's political bureau, called on the PA to not allow the Israeli government to have the upper hand in civil or security coordination. He also demanded that the PA end all form of coordination with Israel, before the latter does.
Ghul demanded that the PA relieve itself from bilateral agreements, rebuild the unity-based internal Palestinian strategy in the face of Israel's plans to undermine the Palestinian cause and ignore Trump's threats of vetoing any anti-Israel resolution after Jan. 20.
The United States vetoed resolutions related to Palestinians 33 times from 1979 to 2014, most recently among these was the December 2014 draft UN Security Council resolution establishing a Palestinian state and ending Israeli occupation during 2017.
Speaking to Al-Monitor, Walid al-Moudallal, a professor of political science at the Islamic University in the Gaza Strip, ruled out the possibility that Israel implements the decision to halt civil coordination with the PA, as it serves both Israeli and Palestinian interests. He believes this decision is designed to address the Israeli public, following the opposition's criticism, to redeem the prestige of the Israeli government after the adoption of the UN resolution.
Moudallal said that it is ridiculous to believe that a resolution condemning settlements would deter Israel, given that the settlements issue has gone beyond international resolutions and condemnations and has reached a stage where it is hard to be overcome and dismantle the settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. He said that the resolution will likely confuse Israel at the political and diplomatic levels, but it would not do more than that.
Speaking to Al-Monitor, political analyst Mohamed Hawash also downplayed Israel's punitive measures against the Palestinians. He ruled out the possibility that these measures could be harsher than the already imposed siege on the Gaza Strip since 2006, the confiscation of land in the West Bank and settlement expansion.
Hawash warned that Palestinians should not be concerned about Israel's declared punitive measures. Rather, they should be concerned that Israel could ignore the international community in terms of the cessation of settlement activities, resumption of negotiations, the end of the occupation and establishment of a Palestinian state.
Palestinians have correlated Israel's decision to its satisfaction with Trump's promises. The Trump administration could abolish the resolution after he takes office Jan 20. This is not to mention that Israel will not abide by the resolution.

From Algeria to Zimbabwe, Russia is investing in energy and resource projects, lending military and diplomatic support to embattled African leaders, and once again positioning itself as an influential presence in the...

Geas of the Gods
Inheritors of a dead empire, Lizardfolk now cling to shrinking communities in desolate regions, surrendering their place in the world with grace and acceptance. Many of their shamans and religious leaders are known for their wisdom even among other races, and are the primary reason the lizardfolk are sought out in their fading temples.
Physical Description: Lizardfolk are slightly shorter than humans, though this is due more to their hunched posture. Tail tip to nose, lizardfolk stretch about 8 feet. Their scales curve away from their body into soft points, and are usually sandy-brown in color, though reds, oranges are common and purples and greens are not unknown. Lizardfolk have snouts that are better suited for their natural tongue than other languages, which they speak in stutters interspersed with guttural stops. Their shape and scales make full clothing difficult for lizardfolk to wear, and they prefer draped sheets of silk or glittering metal chain.
Society: Lizardfolk society expects each member to stand on his own. They winnow their youth through trials and do not mourn those who fail. Some speculate that this is what led them both to empire and subsequent decline, as it culled their civilization into one of individuals strong of body and character, but then allowed it to decline in number as prosperity allowed too many to fall into torpid contentment, and unchanging tradition resulted in the deaths of the numerous lazy.
Relations: Other races most often encounter lizardfolk when they are ejected from their settlements for purposes of a trial. Unfortunately, the ones who do not care to make an effort to succeed sometimes become parasites, souring the opinions of the societies they end up in. Because of this, mixed opinions of lizardfolk at large are common, some knowing only legends of a potent but tempered people, others with disdain for a race now considered squatters and leeches.
Alignment and Religion: Lizardfolk tend toward Neutrality, and care little for the fates of those who cannot make their own way. As a culture, they worship one God only, a sun god with no name in any human language. The sun god burns away the weak and decrepit and leaves only the righteous and glorious to bask in its life-giving rays.
Adventurers: As mentioned above, many lizardfolk not found in their enclaves are seeking to pass a trial of some sort given by their elders. These trials vary in goal, but usually require the questor to prove their ferocity, wisdom, or force of will through deeds in the wider world. Proof may be in the form of witnesses, trophies, personal combat, or powerful totems. Of course, no enclave would expect one of their folk to surrender anything earned through their own blood and might, and so many lizardfolk place their crowning achievement at the center of their dens.
Lizardfolk Racial Traits
+2 Strength, +2 Charisma, -2 Intelligence: Lizardfolk are thick of cord and have indomitable personalities, but have been slow to grow and adapt to the changing world.
Medium Size: As lizardfolk are Medium creatures, they have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Lizardfolk have a base speed of 30 feet.
Natural Armor: Lizardfolk get a +2 natural armor bonus due to their tough, scaly skin.
Climbing Claws: Lizardfolk receive a +2 racial bonus on Climb and Ride checks due to their rough climbing claws. These claws are not hard or sharp enough to be used as weapons, however.
Fearless: Against fear effects, lizardfolk get a +2 racial bonus.
Languages: Lizardfolk begin play speaking Common and Draconic (of which their language is a dialect). Bonus languages may be chosen from the full Languages list.

HYDERABAD - The health experts and medical practitioners have emphasised for launching of mass-awareness campaign to prevent hepatitis virus particularly B and C as the disease is gradually taking a heavy toll on human life in the country especially in Sindh.
Terming the virus as a silent killer, they emphasised the need for collective efforts to effectively check the transmission of the disease.
They said this while addressing at an awareness seminar held at Shaikh Ayaz Auditorium, Arts faculty Building, University of Sindh Jamshoro on Thursday which organised by office of the Dean Faculty of Natural Sciences of the varsity in collaboration with Sindh Skills Development Program, Bilqees Razia Trust, Sindh Hepatitis Control Program, Save Human Foundation and Petarian Association. The Vice Chancellor University of Sindh Prof Dr Fateh Muhammad Burfat in his address said that hepatitis B virus was a common problem for the society and its treatment was continuously changing and improving.
"The number of liver patients is increasing in our society because of lack of knowledge about it," he said and added that being a social scientist he taught in many medical universities particularly in Agha Khan University and knew very well about these common diseases.
He informed that he had undertaken a study in Dost Muhammad Khaskheli village in one of the districts of Sindh which revealed that women were more prone to hepatitis which he termed as alarming; for the well-being of a family depended largely on females.
He said that jaundice, bleeding, weight loss and severe itching were the last stage of liver disease caused by the hepatitis viruses, which could be averted through opportune information and adequate intervention.
Dr. Bekharam from Liaquat Medical University of Health Sciences Jamshoro said that they were partnering anti-hepatitis initiatives with the University of Sindh to disseminate awareness among millions of people of Sindh through the varsitys faculty and students.
"The University of Sindh has its intake from almost all parts of the province and Pakistan; hence, we understand its stakeholders are the right people to reach to proliferate awareness of hepatitis threat and precautionary measures that need to be adopted", he said.
He said that many people could prevent the disease if they maintained something like healthy balanced diet, consumption of more fruits and vegetables, maintaining normal weight, regular workout, avoiding of alcohol, increase water intake to help flush toxins, harboring positive attitude and slashing on high doses of vitamins A, D, E, and K.
He said the majority of people infected with hepatitis virus suffered continually and even in many cases died because they were unaware, undiagnosed and untreated due to lack of awareness. Dr. Bekharam said hepatitis viruses- A, B, C, D and E could cause acute and chronic infection and inflammation of the liver, leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. So, he said there were no alternative to prevent the viruses excepting taking collective efforts.
Dr. Hussain Bux Kolachi of ISRA University Hyderabad said that universities can play significant role by involving thousands of faculty members, employees and tens of thousands of students towards raising awareness, formulating legislative frameworks, introducing intervention strategies and undertaking sensitization campaigns.
He said that creating a large-scale mass-awareness had become an urgent need for the prevention of hepatitis viruses particularly B and C as the disease is gradually taking a heavy toll on society and the nation as well.
He termed the infection of the viruses as fire without flame and a silent killer and emphasized the need for joint endeavors to contain the proliferation of the ailment efficiently.
Another expert Aijaz Patoli from Bilqees Razia Trust observed that one particular event would not be sufficient to effectively combat the disease.
"Hepatitis is not something which may evaporate by just one theoretical or practical session", he said and added it is an ongoing evil which could be controlled through persistent long-term battle.
He said that drastic climatic changes and the consequent ailments in the world had brought humanity under one involuntary obligation of converging on a single platform to fight back and defeat the devil. We need institutional, regional, national and global collaborations to overwhelm the evil of hepatitis, he emphasized.
Dr Wali Muhammad Laghari from Sindh Hepatitis Control Programme said that massive awareness coupled with strong legislation shall serve as the most effective weapons against hepatitis, as 5 to 10 percent of the Pakistani population is affected with Hepatitis. As many as 4,000 people die of Hepatitis daily worldwide.
Dr Naeem Leghari from Bilqees Razia Trust (BRT) oriented the audience with the objectives and achievements of their trust and informed that they were focusing on Dadu as their operational hub where the number of hepatitis positive patients was higher compared to other districts of Sindh.
He said that their trust offered thousands of masses in district Dadu free facilities of screening, registration, vaccination and treatment.
Dr Soomar Khoso from Sindh Skills Development Programme (SSDP) stressed all parents to get their children aging one year and above vaccinated, or it would be tantamount to snatching from them their right to life.
He said that the youth needed to adopt healthy and hygienic life style to buffer in time the prospective onslaught of hepatitis and other life-jeopardizing diseases.
Among others, Dean Faculty of Natural Sciences Prof Dr Akhtar Hussain Mughal, Pro-Vice Chancellor Laar Campus Badin Prof. Dr. Muhammad Siddique Kalhoro, Pro-Vice Chancellor Naushahroferoz Campus Muhammad Nawaz Narejo, Pro-Vice Chancellor Mirpurkhas Campus Dr. Ghulam Sarwar Gachal, President Sindh University Teachers Association (SUTA) Dr. Azhar Ali Shah, President Sindh University Officers Association Ghulam Nabi Kaka, General Secretary Officers Association Engr Sajjad Hussain Shah, Dr Fida Hussain Chandio and Dr Asghar Maka were also present on the occasion.

Kara, a smart reader just wrote in and said,
I'm biased because I'm only 20 now, but Lisa Simpson was my favourite 90s feminist icon, although I didn't really understand feminism until I was about fourteen. Is Lisa Simpson a 90swoman? I mean, what about this?
I'm going to say yes, Lisa Simpson would qualify as a '90s woman, even though she didn't get to grow up and flourish into a Liz Phair-listening, cracked-nailpolish-wearing Antioch-Rules-discussing young lady. She was well on her way.
Jezebel called her a feminist hero, and ran this (great but slightly volume-wonky) montage of her most feminist moments. Best is when Malibu Stacy's vacuousness radicalizes Lisa and she gets in trouble for smarting off and avoiding glitter.
P.S. To AC: You didn't understand feminism until you were 14?! I'm 34 and am still trying to figure it all out…

"Learn to cs and you'll climb" is a bad meme. If you want to climb learn wave manipulation.
Over time the idea that you could cs well and you'll climb is one of the most oversaturated pieces of advice that bargain bin coaching has given us. The problem was that it created two problems. The first is that now, everyone just cses well. Back in s3 when I started, Bronze 5 players averaged 2-3 cs a minute. Now? I see Bronze games where the players that aren't getting dumpstered are getting 6-7+. The other problem is that nobody knows what to do with it. It's great if you're getting ahead of your opponent, but if you're not playing a champion that can destroy the enemy with AoE, you're not gonna go far with a lead. That's why I say learn good wave manipulation. Wave manipulation is a huge part of this game and it goes almost entirely under-appreciated for what it does. With csing, the best thing you're hoping for is that your team doesn't feed while you get to the point you can pop off. With good wave knowledge, you can create pressure, and that allows you to -Force your opponent to lose cs and xp and/or be a free kill for you -Force your opponent to stay instead of roaming on your lanes -Force the jungler to camp your lane instead of do anything else productive (if he can't kill you, but your jungler gets a single kill, you've already made a net positive) -Allow your jungler to counterjungle because you can back him up -Protect your jungler from invades -Take dragons while nobody is looking -Get vision while your opponent is under tower -Pick up free kills because you don't have to sit in lane as often Essentially, you can't stop your lanes from feeding their lane opponent in a 1v1 setting, but through pressure you can remove or diminish their chances of dying to external factors significantly. It's OP. If you want to get started here are some easy tips. -The best waves to back before are cannon minions. They're harder to kill so even if your opponent pushes hard and you lose the cannon you'll get most of the remaining wave. On non-cannon waves you'll miss 4-5 minions if it gets shoved to tower. -These are also the best waves to roam during, for the same reason. -Use the regular waves to disappear from lane and get vision before the cannons come. You can also play mindgames and roam during that time but it's very risky -The three types of lane positions are slow push, hard push, and freeze. You want to use these to deny as much cs as you can. -Freezes deny enemies gold the best when you know they're coming back to lane and you either can't shove into tower hard enough or when you can't get anything out of it (likely to get ganked and die). They're also good for staying safe from ganks. -Hard pushes work best when you can shove into tower to deny minions. These are good for when your opponent is roaming and you cannot follow them (4 gank bot but your jungler is top). Take a plate if you can during this time. -Slow pushes are when you have 1 more minion than the enemy. During this time another wave will come and since their minions will have done substantially less damage you can have 10+ minions pushed into their tower at once. -Slow pushing this way often gets you a reset (lane goes back to the middle) or reverse push (their minions come to tower just as yours are dying, giving you 5-6 healthy minions). Slow push into reverse is often one of the best ways to play against assassin lanes. -These basics are super important for getting kills and snowballing in low elo, and you play around the enemy trying to use them for outplays in high elo.

I'm Alex Georgiou and I have a passion for helping people get well. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping others to overcome chronic health conditions and return to optimum wellness.
One of the things I'm often asked is, "What made you want to be a nutritionist?"
I've always had a fascination with food, especially cooking and eating. My keen interest in health and nutrition began after facing my own personal health challenges when I was 28 years old. I had typical I.B.S. symptoms like bloating, cramping and loose stools as well as fatigue, anxiousness and sleep issues. Unfortunately the conventional medicine route wasn't able to resolve my health problems, which led me to seek the expertise of a local nutritional therapist.
After just one consultation she was able to recognise my symptoms were caused by a yeast overgrowth (or candidiasis as it is more commonly known). My gut problems were exacerbated by wheat and other gluten grains. Not only that, I also had a genetic problem that affected my methylation, which was the root cause of all my health issues.
After following her dietary, lifestyle and supplement recommendations, my condition improved within two months. Slowly but surely my other symptoms started to resolve and I felt better and better as each week passed. This relatively quick and easy recovery back to optimum health made me appreciate the power of food as medicine and similarly the potentially negative impact on my health that certain foods and lifestyle choices can have.
I am incredibly fortunate to be in a profession that I love and am deeply passionate about. Being able to help so many people recover from illness and optimise their health is the most satisfying job in the world as far as I'm concerned!
I want to make it as easy as possible for you to take back your health through guided nutrition and lifestyle advice. I believe in order to achieve wellness, you must first establish the cause of the imbalance. Treating symptoms does not fix the problem, it is merely like putting a plaster over a wound, whilst you can't see the wound, it is still there.
My approach to nutritional therapy and wellness encompasses the functional medicine model. By shifting the traditional disease-centred focus of medical practice to a more patient-centred approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
I spend time listening to my client's histories and looking at the interactions amongst genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease.
Tackling SIBO (C) with Alex's help
James MacInnes
In the short time I have worked with Alex, he has resolved my issues with sleep, improved my cognition and calmed my stomach issues. After two years of endless tests and appointments with gastro doctors, I wish I'd have came to Alex sooner for help. The results speak for themselves, thank you Alex!
Positive results working with Alex
C Griffiths
Alex has been very helpful addressing my health issues relating to under active thyroid. I have been able to find my trigger foods whilst also improving my fatigue, and brain fog. After almost 3 years of gaining weight I have finally begun to lose weight avoiding certain food groups. Its been a roller coaster ride but certainly worthwhile working with Alex who is very knowledgeable and keen to improve his clients wellbeing.
A very worthwhile exercise
My visits to Alex were very helpful in diagnosing my stomach problems and helping and advising how to treat them. I found Alex to be easy to talk to and he gave me the opportunity to express my concerns. Sadly I have had to pause my consultations due to personal issues but will certainly get back to them as soon as I can.
Got my body back
Fantastic experience. After a full extensive review of my tests, Alex put me on a diet plan, which was still surprisingly quite open with what I could eat. After 2 and a half weeks of my new diet plan, I've stopped breaking out in rashes and my skin feels less dry and I'm putting cream on far less frequent. I've felt like I've had more energy and had a clearer head. 100% recommend Alex to anyone who's looking at taking back control of their body and feeling like a new person!
I am a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist having completed my three year professional diploma in Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy at the prestigious College of Naturopathic Medicine in London.
I'm a full member of the British Association of Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), and I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the only register for Nutritional Therapy recognised by the Department of Health.
Most recently I have gained accreditation as a SIBO certified practitioner by internationally renowned Dr. Alison Sibecker. She is a pioneer in treating patients with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) which is the leading cause of I.B.S. The knowledge I have gained from this course has enabled me to offer the most up to date and most effective treatment for many I.B.S. sufferers.
I have completed a four week specialist accreditation in SIBO treatment and management which can be the key to addressing bloating, constipation, loose stools and other gut problems.
My main areas of expertise lies in anything related to the gut including yeast overgrowth such as candidiasis, parasite infections and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). I am also experienced in dealing with 'Adrenal Fatigue', anxiousness and MTHFR polymorphisms.

My SSF struck again today! It was another terrible day at work today. I was ready to come home, take a long hot bath. Nursing several glasses of wine. And crash really early. But when I pulled in my driveway I noticed a package on my porch. I thought maybe the books I ordered from Amazon came in. Or the Koigu my sister was sending me had finally arrived. But to my most pleasent surprise my SSF had sent me the most beautiful yarns. I love them all. Instead of drinking wine and crashing early, I'll be spending most of the evening going through my books and mags to find appropriate patterns for my beautiful presents.
Thanks so much Secret Sistah Friend.

The economic structure of Middle Eastern nations are different in the sense that while some nations are heavily dependent on export of only oil and oil-related products (such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait), others have a highly diverse economic base (such as Cyprus, Israel, Turkey and Egypt). Industries of the Middle Eastern region include oil and oil-related products, agriculture, cotton, cattle, dairy, textiles, leather products, surgical instruments, defence equipment (guns, ammunition, tanks, submarines, fighter jets, UAVs, and missiles). Banking is also an important sector of the economies, especially in the case of UAE and Bahrain. For more information visit the Imperial History of the Middle East..
With the exception of Cyprus, Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon and Israel, tourism has been a relatively undeveloped area of the economy, due in part to the socially conservative nature of the region as well as political turmoil in certain regions of the Middle East. In recent years, however, countries such as the UAE, Bahrain, and Jordan have begun attracting greater number of tourists due to improving tourist facilities and the relaxing of tourism-related restrictive policies. For more information visit Middle East Tourism.
Unemployment is notably high in the Middle East and North Africa region, particularly among young people aged 15–29, a demographic representing 30% of the region's total population. The total regional unemployment rate in 2005, according to the International Labour Organization, was 13.2%, and among youth is as high as 25%, up to 37% in Morocco and 73% in Syria (For more information visit Social Exclusion).

Today brands and media buyers are making major investments in programmatic advertising. By targeting audiences formed from real-time behavioral data, they can greatly boost their results and ROI – and also increase publisher revenues.
Whether you're setting up a fresh campaign for your brand with a focused audience segment, or want to make the most of your existing campaign with audience targeting, it's probably a smart move. According to Forbes, behavioral targeting can easily improve conversion rates by over 200%. So, just pick some audience segments and expect leads and customers to roll on in, right?
Wrong. Having hands on selective audience segments doesn't always guarantee the best results right off the bat. How to find the best segment for you?
Our segments are behavior-based and crafted by the world leading semantic technology and AI engine. Many advertisers nowadays are still working with traditional, generic audience segments and you may find it somewhat challenging to make the most of the new powerful tools. Below are 5 tips our top performing advertisers often use to build the most relevant audiences.
How to Build Programmatic Audience Segments
We've been working closely with our customers to build the most effective audience segments in the market. Here are five essential methods in creating the most relevant audience segments for your campaign!
At the end of this blog post you can download the full guide!
1. Don't get stuck with too general segments
If you want to maximize the accuracy of the results, it's best to find those audiences that match your need. For instance, if you want to advertise your top-quality sushi, which segment would you prefer 'Japanese cuisine' or 'Food & Drink'? Undoubtedly, it's easier to find a sushi lover in the former. Leiki's HiDef categories offers the even more detailed topics for precision targeting.
2. Analyze real-life situations to build psychologically relevant audiences
Life stages and stereotypes can be used with building good segments. For example, if you want to promote your newest hybrid SUV, you might want to look further than 'Sport utility vehicle' segment and expand your campaign to an audience with interests in 'Climate change'. These segments are not only relevant but also have a good number of potential customers.
3. Analyze user interests from your product sites
Tracking interests of customers who already visit your product site is a great way to enhance your campaign. Statistics from Leiki tracker can reveal insight on your customers to boost your online and offline marketing. For instance, imagine running an online shoe store. Your site visitors are most likely interested in shoes, but what else; Rock music? Fitness? Fine arts? We can help you find out!
4. Use lookalike audiences for your campaign
Tracking a luxury car product site might reveal its visitors are interested in 'golf', while customers who order a test drive of a compact car like 'hip hop & RNB'. You can then expand the reach of your campaign by using audiences interested in these topics. For further increase in effectiveness ads can be tailored to match the new topics.
5. Use direct interests from the trends
With SmartTrends you can discover currently trending interests and create segments based on those topics. Our customers understand rapidly shifting customer interests and can quickly react to them thanks to Leiki's powerful analysis tool.

If you are still not sure about using behavior-based segments, feel free to have a chat with our team. In case you have a tip of your own to share, just leave us a comment or share with us @LeikiCom. We'd love to hear from you.

Shopping around for a quote was one of the most stressful, time consuming processes I've experienced as a home owner. Then, after seeing an ad in the Democrat and Chronicle for Cameron Home Improvement, I called another company for a quote, not expecting a call back. Well, I received a call less than 24 hours after leaving a message (on a Sunday I called) and 24 hours later I had an estimate. Not just an estimate though, a detailed proposal of exactly what they were proposing to do. Every email was returned, every phone call was returned. I needed the job done by the end of April (this was the end of March), and Dave Cameron said he'd do his best, no promises since he had other projects and the weather in April can be unpredictable.
Well, 3 weeks into April the job got done. The crew showed up, was polite, professional, and from everything I can tell did an excellent job. They took me around the house, let me ask all the questions I had. Told me exactly what they did, and that they'll stand by their work. After trying to find anyone to call me back it was so great to work with Dave and his teams of professionals. I would recommend these guys to my friends and family without hesitation."
Aaron C.
It was a pleasure doing business with you both and I'm thrilled to have it done today before our open house takes place Sunday. Thanks very much and hope business continues to keep cranking for you guys. Best Regards."
Steve S.
When I was first contacted by Cameron Home Improvement, I had some reservation because I did not know they did bathroom renovations. I spoke to two people who had their bathrooms remodeled by Cameron and were pleased. Dave brought his designer over to talk with me and I felt more comfortable. He indicated that his worker had alot of experience with high end projects in Manhattan and I was reassured. His bid was the closest to our perception of the cost for a bathroom remodel. We chose Cameron Home Improvement and were not disappointed. Dave came to our house every day to check on the project and our expectations. Carlos who did the work is indeed a skilled craftsman with a very high work ethic, commitment to perfection and customer satisfaction. I consider myself a pretty critical consumer, especially when I am paying for work, and hold the work to pretty high standards. The work was exceptional, the costs were not inflated, those working for Dave were punctual, hardworking, pleasant and polite and left our home as clean as it could be at the end of a full day of work. We are thrilled with our new bathroom. It looks like a bathroom one would find in a magazine. We are planning to bump out our laundry room next year and hope to have Carlos and Cameron Home Improvement handle this project."
Donna L.
We are very impressed with the service we received from your company. Tom did a great job-he was thorough and dependable and got the job done quickly. When we are ready for more work, you can be sure we'll call Cameron! Thanks for the quick services!"
Rose C.
I wanted to let you know in writing that of the people I had contacted for a price quote that you were the best deal for the money. You are highly professional, come highly recommended and also provided a price that could not be beaten. I have taken the liberty of passing your name along to friends as they value my opinion. I hope you do not mind. Again-thank you for taking the time to provide me an estimate and yes-the coupon is a HUGE factor since it benefits everyone and not just senior citizens who also win with the double discount. Not many did this and it surely does matter-especially in times such as these."
Michelle H.
I wish to thank you for the job your team did this past week on my home. I chose your company, not because of your competitive price, but rather the initial meeting you held with me, wherein you stated the work would take approximately 1 1/2 days to complete, that you would ensure all landscape plantings were covered and protected, and a full cleanup following the installation would occur. All conditions were met as you initially described. Your team finished and departed at 1:00pm the second day, following a full cleanup during which no shrubbery was harmed. In addition, I found your crew of young men to be both efficient and very courteous. It was a pleasure doing business with your team. Should I need additional improvements, I will certainly contact you first."
William H.
Thanks so much for your leadership and for your flexibility with scheduling. This was a big investment for us. From start to finish, your men were prompt, disciplined and genuinely interested in doing their best work to improve my home. All the guys you had on this job were personable and kind which my fiancee appreciated greatly. You and Brian have an outstanding company and I am pleased to have your sign on my lawn. Your work has made a difference in our life and we get to enjoy the rest of August on our budget because of your proposal and crews' hard work. As Kaylie and I know this is a first home for us, we will look to you in the future should we need more help with home improvement projects. We sincerely thank you for your teamwork and outstanding service. It made an impression on us. We look forward to working with you again."
Mark N.
Your crew did a very good job under some really tough conditions. My wife and I are impressed with the way the project turned out. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get some additional business in our neighborhood. Thanks!"

New comics Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!
Dee Yun: (contact-deleteme[at]-deleteme-direman [dot] com) 2013-04-12 01:59:33
The second D&D game, Shadow Over Mystara, was the pinnacle of Capcom beat-'em-up design. (Although, I will not declare you clinically insane if you argue in favor of Alien vs. Predator.) I might actually plunk down cash for the online play.
Duck Tales, while a solid nostalgic memory, is a weird choice.
In any case, either are likely to be several echelons superior to anything Capcom's released this side of Street Fighter IV.

Erica Lauren Cafritz, a daughter of Donna M. Cafritz and Glenn S. Cafritz of Washington, was married Sept. 16 to David James Hess, a son of Susan K. Hess and John B. Hess of New York. Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt officiated, with Rabbi Neil Zuckerman taking part, at the home of the groom's family in East Hampton, N.Y.
Mrs. Hess, who is 27 and works in New York, is the director of real estate in the tristate region for WeWork, a provider of shared work spaces. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania.
The bride's father, retired, was a founder of Global Mail, an international mail service company in Sterling, Va. Her mother is an audiologist in Washington.
Later this month, Mr. Hess, 28, is to open two restaurants, of which he is an owner, in New York: a fast-casual sushi concept called Bondi, and an Omakase sushi restaurant, Noda. He graduated from Brown and received an M.B.A. from Harvard.
The groom's mother is the co-chairman of the board of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. His father is the chief executive of the Hess Corporation in New York, and a member of the boards of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The groom is a grandson of the late Leon Hess, who was the founder of the Hess Corporation and the owner of the New York Jets.
The couple were introduced New Year's Eve 2010 in St. Bart's.

16 miles! That's how many miles this crazy runner decided to do this past weekend. Running a half marathon was just not good enough, I also had to throw in a 5K Saturday morning. Saturday morning we ran the Scarecrow 5K where I live. The only reason you would probably choose to come run this 5K is because of the Fall festival. The run kicks off the festival every year. It's not as big of deal as it used to be in the past though. I remember watching the runners go by on the front porch before I started running and thought it was really cool. Funny how things change over the years, now I'm running instead of watching.
I was feeling good at the start of the Scarecrow. It showed in my run as well. I was able to run most of it except for those big hills that always sneak their way in to these runs. I finished in 34:10 and placed 1st in my age group. I got a cool blanket as the award. It can now travel with me on these cooler morning runs. I'm slowly working my time back down to where it was before I started this journey of trying to become a Yoga teacher. It will get there. I think Yoga is helping to make me stronger. I can feel it in my runs. I may not be fast, but I can keep a more consistent pace then before.
Let's fast forward to the AthHalf. My 5th half marathon was one word, challenging. I say this because I am pretty sure we hit every hill in Athens. I laughed at one point, because they even sent us up a hill in the middle of a neighborhood in Five Points. If you keep going and then turn right, you will miss the hill so I found that funny that they had to squeeze that one in. At the start of the half, I was feeling good and that consistent pace set in until mile 6. At mile 6, my right leg started giving me trouble. At one point, it wanted to give away like it was trying to tell me to stop. Anyone that knows me, knows I won't stop for nothing. I always joke that if something happens to me on the course, I will finish no matter what. Coming up on mile 9 I was wondering what the heck gets in to me and these crazy ideas of oh lets go run 13 hilly miles today. I was tired at this point and wanted nothing but water. I wasn't even starving for food. I just wanted something to drink so bad. Mile 12 went by really fast but as we all know, at the last .5 mile there was a lovely hill ready to greet you to the finish. I walked that thing and was proud of it. Even with all the hills, I beat my time from three other different half marathons in the past. It wasn't my best time that I've had but i'll take it. I finished in 2:50:24 with chip time. I saw a few people I knew along the course. A few people yelled my name as I passed that I work with and I also got to see a member of the running family out there cheering us on. Always great to see familiar faces along the course. I was disappointed that we couldn't finish at the Sanford Stadium like years previous but there's always next year. There's construction going on at the stadium which is why the finish was at a different location this year.
I only have 4 more training weeks left of Yoga and I couldn't be more excited. I am ready to be on my own so bad. I am counting down the weeks if you haven't noticed! Lots of cool stuff coming up, just have to get through the hard stuff first.
I am working like crazy to make the Frosty Owl 5K a great event for everyone. So far it's coming along nicely. We are slowly getting everything ready for January 20th! I hope everyone can come out and enjoy the event with me. I promise you will not be disappointed. More updates coming very soon!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Go Dawgs!

There is nothing worse than driving along the highway and suddenly having your car die on you. There are both immediate hazards and concerns about getting your car fixed. How can you find a quality mechanic? These tips will show you how to find a good mechanic when you need one.
Ask questions to the mechanics who inspect your vehicle. Make sure that you are specific with your questions when you pose them. You can save a lot of money when you know how to prevent problems.
Regularly check your radiator. Let the car run a couple minutes, shut your engine and open up your hood. Be careful not to open your radiator if the car's running. Look at the coolant you have in your radiator by checking it with a dipstick but remember that coolant usually needs to be mixed with water before putting it into your vehicle.
Do not give your keys to your mechanic before knowing more about the cost of the repairs. Ask any questions you have about the service before they start work on the car. You do not want to be surprised with added charges when you are handed the final bill.
When bringing your car to a mechanic, tell them you want OEM parts. This means that you are getting manufacturer made parts and not replicas. It's cheaper to get the generic parts, but the quality may not be the same. Getting a good deal on generic parts means you might have to purchase the same parts again and pay a mechanic to change them within the next few years.
Picking out the best auto repair mechanic may be hard. Educating yourself on the topic makes finding one much easier. Know what to look for and what to ask. When you have car problems, remember the tips in this article.

A few trips to the bathroom later (three of which were spent hunched over the toilet bowl while I said "hello" to everything I ate the day before), my boss sent me home. It took me a little longer than normal to get home, becuase I had to pull off the road twice to puke.
Once home, I alternated between vomiting, crapping my brains out, sleeping, and monitoring my work email. Apparently, I had a 102 degree fever as well, which would explain my dizziness and weakness. I was still feeling lousy by the time Kat came home from mass at 7:00pm, so I begged off of going to dinner (I wouldn't be able to keep anything down anyway), sipped some water, and was in bed by 10:00.
The good news is that I'm feeling much better today. I still haven't eaten anything since Wednesday night. I may have a little yogurt this afternoon. Wish me luck.

Hi George, That sounds great. So, the process, for dealing with source code, is to attach the code (normally a 'svn diff' generated patch file, but could be a .zip) and attach the file to a Jira -- see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO You'd need to: 1) create a Jira login 2) create a Geronimo Jira issue (project: geronimo-devtools, type: improvement). Don't worry about details like components/versions/fix versions, but do describe what you'd like to contribute in summary and description fields 3) attach a patch file/zip file to the Jira. While viewing the Jira, "Attach file" is an operation that you can perform. When you attach the file, make sure the "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works" radio button is checked. Depending on the size of your contribution, we may also decide to ask for a code grant. Nothing major, just a single form. See, http://www.apache.org/licenses/#grants --kevan

Rooted in the Blues and Soul tradition like so many Scottish Singers, Al Hughes writes from his own perspective on topics which are very much of today.His influences can be clearly heard, but make no mistake, this music is modern , relevant, and gathering praise from a growing number of well respected figures on the British music scene.
Comparisons have already been made,by more than one reviewer,to the acoustic playing of Rory Gallagher, and also to Chris Smither, Townes Van Zandt and Martin Simpson. His haunting, smoky voice is complimented by a variety of guitars, including a huge sounding, custom built, 12 string resonator. His music conjures a variety of moods, from forceful and raucus to gentle and wistful, indeed one reviewer called his playing "eerily atmospheric", while another referred to his voice as sounding as if it had been " aged in oak casks" Al's vocal abilities have led to a busy schedule as a session musician, and he now combines studio work with playing clubs, concerts, and festivals all over the UK and Europe.
Al's Album 'Sad Songs and Tall Stories' was included in Blues in Britain's pick of the year 2010, and his song 'Count Your Blessings' was among the nominees for best song at the British Blues Awards 2011. His follow up album 'Dancing in the Minefield built on this reputation as did his 3 cd set Feel Like Robert Johnson, which was released in 2013.
Al's music his regularly played on both local and national radio as well as various digital platforms, and the two Lights Out By Nine Albums, for which he wrote many of the songs, made the top four in BB King's Blues Chart on American Radio.The band also featured his song 'Laughing on the Other Side 'in a recent TV appearance. His last album 'Bottleneck Serenade' was released in 2016, and a new album, together with a re mastered 'Best Of' are scheduled for later in 2018.

Health care
Approaching the technological milestone of a wearable pressure gauge.
Personal medical services evolving with AI.
Predicting the risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases with the aim of prevention.
Solving global social problems = "zero event"
There are said to be around 1 billion patients in the world with high blood pressure. Patients suffering from high blood pressure for a prolonged period of time are at greater risk of developing arteriosclerosis which is a leading cause of heart disease and stroke.
Suffering from heart disease or a stroke can lead to a 10-year reduction in lifespan. Other symptoms can include loss of mobility and or loss of ability to speak.
In order to create a society where no-one has to suffer from these conditions OMRON have created a new principle "zero event" to predict risks and prevent them in advance.
Detecting high risk blood pressure fluctuations.
A new challenge. Creating a "zero event" world in relation to brain and cardiovascular disease through blood pressure monitoring.
Measuring when convenient. Facilitating measurement through wearables.
The first step toward realizing our principle of "zero event" is to increase the frequency of blood pressure measurement.
To this end we are currently developing a blood pressure monitor with a width of only 25mm, which can be worn in a similar way to a wrist watch.
Transitioning to wearables is an effective step for the advancement of personalized medicine. By emphasizing a more lightweight design we are able to comfortably take measurements at any time, day or night. The data can then be used to form an opinion on appropriate medical treatment.
To increase the available vital signs data, OMRON realizes that the key point is to create a comfortable environment where they are easy to measure.
Towards a future of personalized medicine
Integrating blood pressure data and electrocardiographic data to improve accuracy of cardiovascular risk assessments.
In order to improve the accuracy of risk assessments for the onset of stroke and heart disease we integrate blood pressure data with electrocardiographic data. Working with one of our business partners, AliveCor, we are able to analyze this data and create new algorithms to predict and prevent these conditions in the future.
It is also our intention to accelerate the evolution of data-based medical systems through AliveCor's wearable remote monitoring platform for physicians.
"Kardia Mobile" an electrocardiographic waveform analysis application
※ Available now in North America.
IoT, connecting data in a meaningful, personalized way.
Wearable sensors are continuously checking personal vital signs. Vital signs that are measured are blood pressure, electrocardiogram data, sleep patterns, genetic factors and lifestyle and behavior patterns. In addition, other factors are taken into account such as personality, past medical history and family medical history. The AI combines and analyzes all of this data from the IoT sources and identifies trends. These trends then point to optimal, personalized treatments for that person.
Creating the future of healthcare
An individual's body condition can always be passively observed leading to a situation where their QOL (quality of life) can be maximized.
Instead of treating illness after it has developed we will transition into a society where it is not allowed to develop in the first place.
OMRON has contributed to this future of preventative medicine through the development of a pressure gauge that allows monitoring in the home.
It is our objective to create technology that allows the passive monitoring of health in day to day life.

Using Scheduled Reports to Populate Daily Summary Tables
I wanna build a series of summary tables that each day is populated with a summary of yesterdays transactions etc.
Can this be done in Mode with Scheduled Reports or what are the best practices?
Hi Emil ! I'm surprised no one from Mode has responded to you about this yet. I have several reports that show summaries for yesterday, the past week, etc. and yep, I use Scheduled Reports to make this happen, along with inserting a fixed date range in my WHERE statement, something like:
WHERE created_at > today() - interval 1 day)
Works very well for me.Reply
