Not every Netflix series can be a winner — and, in fact, tons of them are objectively and laughably bad — but occasionally the streaming giant launches new titles or new seasons of existing shows that critics or viewers, and sometimes both, will regard as perfect or near-perfect.
The same is also true, by the way, for the other end of the spectrum. Quite often, you'll see critics trash a Netflix series that viewers love and vice versa, while it's much rarer to see them both agree that a particular series is a failure. But it, too, happens from time to time, as with a new release like Season 2 of Sex/Life (which is currently rocking a terrible 46% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing and an even more abysmal 21% critics' score).
Meanwhile, let's look now at two Netflix series with fresh episodes that hit the streamer recently and are still hanging on to perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores.
Top-rated Netflix series
The Netflix shows you'll find below, by the way, include one new sports docuseries as well as the second half of an existing Netflix K-drama.
Full Swing
First up is Full Swing, a sports docuseries that debuted on Netflix last week and which the streamer has just announced it's renewing for a second season.
The 8-episode series has a 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, and here's what Netflix says as far as what viewers can expect:
"Full Swing follows a diverse group of professional golfers on and off the course, across a relentless season of competition. The golfers endure a high-stakes schedule week in and week out, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the PGA Tour. The documentary gives fans a chance to get to know the players through their wins and losses and witness what it takes to compete — and succeed — at the highest level in men's professional golf."
Even casual sports fans, one Rotten Tomatoes critic notes, "will have no problem with the project as presented, because so much of the stories pull on the heartstrings."
The Glory
As for this next Netflix series, The Glory is a K-drama that's also a bit different from the genre's usual fare on Netflix.
For one thing, it's split into two parts, which you never really see Netflix do with a Korean series (Part 2 of The Glory hit the service on March 10). Also, it's built around a female lead and is not primarily a romance, which is the kind of story you tend to get from Netflix's Korean series that are built around women. There's also nudity — in service of showing the physical scars of the main character — but which, again, is something out of the ordinary in a Netflix Korean series.
Like Full Swing, The Glory also currently has a 100% critics' score on Netflix. From Netflix's description of the series:
"Song Hye-kyo, one of Korea's top female leads, plays Moon Dong-eun, who is seeking revenge on the bullies who destroyed her childhood. Taking on a very different character from her previous outings in Now, We Are Breaking Up, Encounter and That Winter, the Wind Blows, Song portrays a rage-filled woman keen to inflict the ultimate comeuppance on those who tormented her — as well as those who didn't lift a finger to help."

On the eve of the New Moon in Scorpio, I'm finding myself in a state of contemplative silence.
She'll partially eclipse the Sun just before dawn on October 25th at 5:00 am MDT, and together they'll join Venus, amplifying the power of attraction and manifestation. With a grateful heart for all that Love offers, I sit. I open. I receive. I transform.
May all be blessed.

Before this season started, the clubs and the broadcasters had a big decision to make in relation to the television deal. The clubs wanted some way to sell tickets even without fans in the ground, and so Sky gave up some of its exclusivity rights.
It turned up to be a good move for most of the teams in the league, allowing them to market Virtual Season Tickets.
But of course, things have changed now and fans are inside the grounds again.
We're playing games with full houses, which really none of us expected to happen this year. The understanding between the TV broadcasters and the clubs now look a little daft, except to those who have managed to sell large numbers of pay per view packages.
Sky has to be looking at this for themselves, in the next campaign, and if that's what happens then we'll all have a decision to make.
There was a time when you were virtually guaranteed to see Celtic and our rivals on the telly every week; that must have been infuriating for every other supporter in the country. This game has been built on that model for too long.
But let's be honest, we've missed out on a couple of big games already and all told we're going to miss out on more.
So has the TV audience. Aberdeen v Celtic last week was an obvious tie to put on the telly, but so is Motherwell v Celtic, and Hibs v Celtic is certainly a match that neutrals would have been dying to watch. Why aren't they on?
You can understand us paying for the occasional game on PPV; it will make up for all the years that fans of other sides didn't get to see their teams live at all.
We also tend to forget the bubble we live in; if we played in England we'd see our side on the telly once in a blue moon.
Our situation up here is almost unique in that the TV contract is built around two teams who in the normal run of things get to see their teams play all the time. This season seems like a one-off in that regard, but what if it's not?
If Sky gets into the PPV games business for themselves this might end up the norm.
We'll still have opportunities that other club fans don't, but it'll be expensive, every other week. You're talking about a big chunk of change on top of current subscriptions, on top of current season tickets and on and on. If things go back to normal remember how lucky we are.
But right now the policy is a joke.
Not only are Celtic fans paying through the nose but games that fans up and down the country would want to watch aren't being shown. Unless the contract limits how many games a team can be involved in (and I can't imagine that it does) then our club should be asking for some clarity on the issue.

Arby's, home of the absurd "Meat Mountain" sandwich, is now facing a veritable mountain of lawsuits. In February news broke that the fast-food chain had fallen victim to a massive credit card data breach, and now it's been hit with eight different lawsuits from banks, credit unions, and customers who say Arby's failed to keep their data safe from hackers, the New York Times reports.
The breach is thought to have occurred sometime between October 2016 and January 2017 and included data from more than 350,000 customer debit and credit cards, according to cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs, who first reported on the breach. The incident only affected Arby's corporate-owned stores, not franchise locations. (Corporate-owned stores make up approximately one-third of the company's 3,000-plus U.S. stores.) According to one of the suits, hackers installed malware at cash registers that enabled them to remotely obtain customer credit card data.
The chain learned of the data breach in January but was asked by the FBI not to publicize the incident. Per Krebs, "Arby's said the breach involved malware placed on payment systems," and the company says said malware has since been "fully contained and eradicated." Arby's said in a statement released last month that customers should review their credit card statements and report any unauthorized activity to their bank.
Arby's certainly isn't alone in its cybersecurity woes: Other high-profile data breaches in recent years include Wendy's, Jimmy John's, Rainforest Cafe, Morton's, P.F. Chang's, and Dairy Queen. The chain does not comment on pending litigation.

The necessity of adopting a communitarian regulation regarding human rights
One of the basic principle of the European Union and the essential condition on which is based its legality is the respect of the fundamental rights. The Court of Justice reaffirmed in many turns this obligation of the European Union. At this time, in all Europe, the problem of human rights must be looked from two perspectives. Nowadays, the only control mechanism of respecting human rights is the European Court of Human Rights (CEDO), which started to work in the new formula at 1 November 1998. Any limitations in exercising the rights and freedoms accepted by the Charta must be in the law and to respect the essential content of the rights and freedoms mentioned.

Are you looking for ways to promote your dental practice? Marketing is essential to make customers aware of your existence and drive repeat business. Dental practices must promote their services like any other private company to ensure their business thrives. Here are five things to consider when marketing your dental practice.
Create An Online Presence
An online presence is the best way to ensure that potential customers know your business exists. Start by creating a professional website listing your services, and include reviews from satisfied customers and before and after photos. You should also ensure you have social media channels like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Tiktok, with an effective social media marketing strategy to drive potential customer interaction. Factors like blog posts with helpful content will also be well-received by potential customers.
Make A Positive In-Practice Experience
At least a third of individuals have a phobia of the dentist. Creating a calm, relaxing atmosphere is essential for putting patients at ease and ensuring repeat business for your surgery. This can be as simple as using calming colors in your waiting room or having the right music for dental office patients. How your patients feel before, during, and after their appointment will be reflected in their reviews and whether they recommend you to friends and family.
Incentivize Referral Schemes
Incentivizing referrals is a great way to get more patients through your door. If they refer family or friends, you could offer discounts for patients on their next treatment or appointment. You might also want to consider discounts for second children attending the clinic or family discounts. Rewarding patients for their referrals can help encourage them to keep attending and generate patient loyalty.
Consider Email Marketing
Email marketing is a great way to manage client relationships and ensure they know everything from new services to a reminder for their next appointment. Automating your email campaigns using tools like MailChimp can help save you time and help you to reach out at strategic moments with dental hygiene advice, practice updates and appointment reminders. Avoid spamming your customers, though, and follow up every few weeks or months rather than daily.
Use Video Advertising
Many dental clinics use video materials to help potential patients see what procedures they do and their staff at work. It's also a great way to make your dentists seem like more familiar faces, as for many clinics, their dentists form the face of the brand. Record your dentist team advising on hygiene tips and what patients expect from their appointments. Video advertising is the perfect way to convert potential clients into patients.
Like any other business, a dental practice must promote its surgery to get clients. This can be done in many ways, from creating a solid and trustworthy online presence to making your patient visits peaceful and stress-free. Consider incentivizing your customers with referral schemes and automating your email campaigns to better engage with customers. You should also showcase and familiarize customers with your dentists by putting them at the heart of video content and advertising.

Tesla reported record Q3 deliveries Monday. $TSLA rose +19.58 to 794.80 on the news. Tesla has been able circumnavigate the chip shortages that are plaguing the auto industry and appears to be one step ahead compared to OEMs regarding chips
Tesla reported record Q3 deliveries Monday. $TSLA rose +19.58 to 794.80 on the news. Tesla has been able circumnavigate the chip shortages that are plaguing the auto industry and appears to be one step ahead compared to OEMs regarding chips
Tesla is much more than an electric car company these days ….
Tesla announced recorded Q3 deliveries reporting Q3 vehicle deliveries surged by more than 70% yr/yr to 241,300 units. Tesla has been able circumnavigate the chip shortages that are plaguing the auto industry. Just last Friday General Motors $GM announced that its Q3 deliveries plunged by nearly 33%.
Commodity Supply Chain Contracts
- Tesla signed a deal with U.S. based lithium miner Piedmont Lithium (PLL) to help secure Tesla's supply of lithium.
- BHP Group ( BHP) disclosed an agreement with Tesla July 22 for nickel. "Demand for nickel in batteries is estimated to grow by over 500 per cent over the next decade, in large part to support the world's rising demand for electric vehicles," said BHP Chief Commercial Officer Vandita Pant in the company's news release. "We are delighted to sign this agreement …and to collaborate with them on ways to make the battery supply chain more sustainable through our shared focus on technology and innovation."
Tesla appears to be one step ahead compared to OEMs regarding chips, given that the EV producer designed its own chip to accommodate the needs of its autonomous software. TSLA CEO Elon Musk however has warned of continued challenges in securing microcontrollers and raw materials.
In TSLA's Q2 earnings conference call in late July CEO Elon Musk said that the company was able to substitute the semiconductors that were in short supply with alternative chips and then rewrite the firmware to maintain production. This has turned out to be a very shrewd decision given the global impact of those shortages and supply chain threats. The stock market agreed sending $TSLA higher to $794.80 +19.58 on the day.
China EV automakers appear to be handling the chip shortages better
It is also apparent China based electric vehicle makers aren't being hit as hard from the chip crunch as are other manufacturers.
- After only marginally cutting its Q3 delivery guidance in late September, Li Auto $LI reported on Friday deliveries soared by 103% yr/yr to 7,094 units.
- Another Chinese car maker XPeng $XPEV posted September delivery growth of 199% for a quarterly record of 25,666 vehicles.
The answer has much to do with location, many of the semiconductors used in auto manufacturing are produced in Malaysia, much closer geographically to China than it is to the U.S. or Europe. With shipping costs verticle logistics are less complicated and cheaper shipping to China.
The Chinese government has made EV production a top priority, with a mandate on automakers calling for 40% of all sales to be EVs by 2030. Tesla's Shanghai factory has seen a successful ramp up of its Model Y SUV providing a boost to its record Q3 deliveries.
TSLA still does have supply chain challenges coupled with an energy crisis gripping China as the country grapples with blackouts and skyrocketing coal and natural gas prices. The Chinese government has implemented strict energy consumption policies, which has forced some factories to halt production. On September 27, Nikkei reported that Eson Precision Engineering, a parts supplier for Apple (AAPL) and TSLA, suspended production at one of its facilities for five days.
Cybertruck Tesla's highly-anticipated Cybertruck launch has been delayed until late 2022, after a late 2021 launch had originally been projected. Volume production isn't anticipated until about a year later, a time in which GM's all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ pickup will also be hitting the market.
Tesla Q2 Earnings Report
- Tesla Q2 Earnings Adj. EPS $1.45 (est $0.97) Revenue $11.96B (est $11.36B)
- Capex $1.51B (est $1.19B)
- Sees 50% Average Annual Growth In Deliveries
- Have Sufficient Liquidity To Fund Product Roadmap
- Noted a $23 million impairment related to bitcoin.
- Tesla market share is growing in all markets
- Europe to catch up in 2022 with Giga Berlin ramp up
- Tesla plans to grow faster than 50% in 2021 planning production start for Giga Berlin & Texas 2021
- Average sales price to grow again when Model S and X are in full delivery in Q3 after semiconductor shortage adjustment in Q2 with Model S and X largely stopped production due to equipment retrofit

Ingredients (feeds two people well)
- ~500g vegan gyros 'meat' · Greek meat cut into strips prepared with special spices and onions; veggie variant preferred; could be any other meat or meat substitute, too
- ~600g fries or potato wedges · or anything similar you like as a base; even rice!
- ~500ml of cheap red wine · will dissipate during cooking, don't worry about getting drunk
- 1 can of chili beans · these are canned kidney beans in a premade chili sauce; if not available, just use kidney beans and instead put more sauce during cooking
- 1 can of (sweet-)corn/maize
- 1 large red bell pepper · could be any color, but red is just devilish enough
- 1/2 bottle of chili sauce · any hot barbecue sauce will do
- 1/2 bottle of salsa sauce · could also be any other kind of hot or BBQ sauce based on what you like
- Ketjap Manis or other soy sauce · for the taste, but technically optional
- Ketchup · optional if you love the other sauces
- Paprika spice
- Curry
- Cooking oil
- (Oat) milk
- Clean the bell pepper and cut it into pieces that snugly fit in your mouth.
- Start frying the gyros meat in oil, preferably in a big wok that can hold the entire meal. Add the bell pepper pieces too.
- As the meat starts getting brown, put the wedges or fries into the oven so they are done by the time the rest is done.
- Now, as the meat is starting to become golden brown, pour about 200ml of red wine into the pan. Volume warning! The amount is not really important, just put an amount in that stops it from frying and starts cooking instead.
- Add some soy sauce/ketjap manis and reasonable amounts of paprika and curry spices.
- Stir well. In case there is not enough liquid left in the pan, add more wine. Keep it cooking for about ten minutes as it is.
- The bell pepper is now slowly losing water and getting all nice and soft. Remember to pour more wine if there is not enough fluid in the pan.
- Now add the barbecue sauces, the maize, the beans and a little bit of ketchup, and stir VERY well. It's a good idea to add more spices now too; there can never be enough curry in there.
- Keep it simmering until the fries/wedges are done, in the end pour a little of the (oat) milk for the color.
- Serve by first placing the fries/wedges on a plate or in a bowl and then pouring the contents of the pan over it. Delicious!
This is actually a recipe I somewhat inherited from my dad. I am aware that it is nothing special at all and definitely falls under a "junk food" umbrella, but I'll be damned if it isn't delicious! According to him, he "developed" this recipe when he was a college student with no real cooking skills, simply by trial and error, and refined it over the years. It was hot, it was delicious, and it was relatively easy to make. Of course it did not take long for him to get much, much better at cooking actually healthy and balanced, complex meals, but somehow it kept a staple throughout everything.
It is very unhealthy and does not bear much culinary worth, but as a guilty pleasure every once in a while - yum.

Going deep: Highlights, updates from every Seahawks WR
Seaside Bonus: Updates on Seattle's 13 wide receivers
The Seattle Seahawks currently have 13 wide receivers on the roster and while we know of two starters, the competition is heavy to be numbers three, four, and five, to say the least.
If you enjoy this post, please like, share, and subscribe, and I'll create more like it.
Kevin Kassis:
Undrafted free agent Kevin Kassis last played football in 2019 at Montana State. He was working at an eye care company until deciding to re-dedicate himself to football roughly six months ago. He was invited to participate in Montana State's pro day, which had significant interest because of former teammate Troy Andersen's rising stock over the last year.
Kassis's pro day measurements are not known. He caught 67 passes for 871 yards and six touchdowns in his final season for the Bobcats.
Dareke Young:
My first write-up on Dareke Young is here.
Dareke Young spoke to reporters in May about his first rookie minicamp. Coaches were reportedly not happy that they weren't available for some minicamp workouts last week.
Young had 25 catches for 303 yards and four touchdowns in five games. He was regularly rushing the ball in 2018-2019, but not the last two seasons.
Bo Melton:
I wrote a bit about Bo here. Does he have some "Doug Baldwin" in his game?
As mentioned with Young, Melton's absence was not appreciated by the coaching staff and may have opened up opportunities for other young (veteran-ish) receivers fighting to make the final roster.
Watch a Bo Melton press conference here. Melton had 55 catches for 618 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games at Rutgers last season. I mentioned Rutgers in my most recent Ken Walker piece.
Penny Hart:
Hart had his opportunity to shine again with other receivers missing practices.
Hart is 5'8, setting him apart from most receivers in at least one way, and he was always productive at Georgia State: two seasons with at least 70 catches, 1,100 yards, and eight touchdowns.
Hart was added to the practice squad in 2019, waived in 2020 before being added to the roster for 13 games. He was active for all 17 games in 2021, playing in 142 offensive snaps and 209 special teams snaps. Hart had seven catches for 59 yards, including this first down catch from Geno Smith.
Deontez Alexander:
Similar to Kassis, Alexander has been waiting multiple years to sign as an undrafted free agent, last playing for Franklin College in 2018. He had 114 catches for 2,133 yards and 33 touchdowns over his last two seasons, over 21 games.
Alexander is 6'1, 196 lbs, and ran a 4.35 at his pro day.
Aaron Fuller:
Undrafted out of Washington in 2020, Fuller had 117 catches for 1,576 yards over his last 26 college games. Here he is playing catch with Drew Lock:
Fuller played in one snap last season, his only career snap. He did get two special teams snaps as well. Will the 5'11, 188 lb receiver (4.59) breakthrough past the practice squad this year? He also caught some work with Colin Kaepernick in March:
Cade Johnson:
Undrafted in 2021, Johnson is getting his second chance to be a part of the Seahawks in the regular season. Spent 12 weeks on the practice squad before being released, then returning again. Does he have a better shot this time?
One could make the argument that Seattle's offense is now better tailored to Johnson's strengths than it was last season. This is thanks in large part to Wilson's exit and the well-documented impact his smaller build has on the throws he feels comfortable making and the concepts the team runs. Attacking the middle of the field and being efficient in quick game concepts had proved problematic for the Wilson-led Seahawks, and that was ultimately Johnson's bread and butter in college.
Johnson had 2,863 career yards at South Dakota State. As usual, Seattle got a closer look at a player they liked at the Senior Bowl:
Cody Thompson:
Undrafted out of Toledo in 2020, Thompson is another player maybe trying to extend his opportunity after the pandemic erased that year's preseason and then further complicated matters in 2021. There just aren't quite the same opportunities as there were before but that could change with another preseason chance this August.
Thompson is 6'1, 205 lbs, ran a 4.57 and posted a 38.5" vertical at his pro day. He made five appearances in 2021, playing four offensive snaps.
Thompson had 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns way back in 2016.
Marquise Goodwin:
NFL Network had a 14-minute segment on Goodwin's track life and football journey three years ago. Goodwin caught 20 passes for 313 yards with the Bears in 14 games last season. He will be 32 in November, but his speed is still considered something of a marker.
The Seahawks gave him a one-year, $1.2 million deal.
Here he is connecting with Smith long:
And Smith short:
Dee Eskridge:
There is no shortage of concern that the 2021 second round pick will never be a fully healthy, uber productive wide receiver in the NFL. But patience is important, as it was for Golden Tate, Tyler Lockett, and even Doug Baldwin to a degree, as he struggled in his second season with the Seahawks. For Eskridge, most of his issues stem from a lack of availability and not getting needed reps on the field.
Eskridge had 10 catches for 64 yards as a rookie. He will make the roster, but will he make an impact? Or could his presence force another receiver to lose his opportunity?
Freddie Swain:
We now enter year three for the 2020 sixth round pick out of Florida. The 6', 199 lb Swain caught 25 passes for 343 yards and four touchdowns last year, including six catches on 11 targets for 35 yards when playing with Geno Smith.
Can he get wide open a few more times next season?
What are your expectations for Swain? Can he be a long-term answer at WR3 or is it hopeful that another receiver comes up and steals that job?
Tyler Lockett:
He's one of the great hype men in the NFL, always encouraging his teammates and Seahawks fans online. He's also still one of the great receivers in the NFL, catching 73 passes for 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns last year.
I wrote something on his 2021 season here.
Lockett caught 17 of 27 targets from Geno Smith, gaining 196 yards and 10 first downs. He will be 30 in September and he has a $3 million base salary this year, that jumps to $9.7 million next year. By all accounts, Lockett will spend the next two seasons on the Seahawks, barring a trade next year, but could potentially be a cap casualty by 2024.
All the more reason to extend DK Metcalf now.
But what would be great is many more seasons of both.
DK Metcalf:
I wrote some stuff about Metcalf's non-holdout here, the do's and dont's of DK here. He was recently seen wearing clothes.
He's a very good player now who could be a very great player for many years. Metcalf was targeted 129 times, catching 75 passes for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns.
With Geno, Metcalf had 17 catches on 21 targets for 251 yards and four touchdowns.
And those are Seattle's 13 receivers. Which five or six do you expect on the final roster?

A pair of college wrestlers from Alaska picked up wins at the NCAA Championships this week in Tulsa, Oklahoma while a third Alaskan saw his stellar career end after two tough losses.
Campbell University junior Levi Hopkins of Palmer finished 1-2 on the big stage. Ranked No. 24 in the nation at 197 pounds, Hopkins opened the tournament facing sixth-ranked Max Dean of Penn State and lost 6-1. He bounced back to earn a 6-4 decision over Virginia's Michael Battista in an elimination match. Hopkins took a 5-4 lead over Battista midway through the second period and held on, adding an escape in the third for his first career NCAA tournament win. He exited after losing by a 13-4 major decision to No. 10 Jacob Cardenas of Cornell. Hopkins (Colony) finished the season with a Southern Conference title, his first NCAA win and a 25-10 record to increase his career win total to 39.
Utah Valley University sophomore Evan Bockman of Anchorage went 1-2 in his second straight trip the NCAAs. He opened against Iowa State's Younger Bastida, who Bockman had beaten two weeks earlier at the Big 12 Tournament. Bastida won 5-2. From there, Bockman collected a 13-6 decision over Trey Rogers of Hofstra. The Alaskan set the early as he built a 8-2 lead after the first period after he scored two takedowns and a four-point near fall. "Evan wrestled really well early and built a great lead. It was nice to see him get his first NCAA win," said UVU head coach Greg Williams. Ranked No. 20 nationally, Bockman saw his tournament come to a close after getting pinned by four-time All-American and 2021 NCAA runnerup Jacob Warner of Iowa. No shame there. Bockman (Grace Christian) finished the season 21-9 and ran his career win total to 39.
Palmer's Caleb Hopkins of Campbell University carved his name into the Alaska record book after becoming just the fifth Alaskan to qualify for the NCAA Championships at least three times; Palmer's Gabe McMahan of Iowa is the lone four-time qualifier while other three-timers include Kodiak's Scott Norton (Oregon), Palmer's Scott Jorgensen (Boise State) and Chugiak's Cayle Byers (Oklahoma State/George Mason). Hopkins (Colony) went 19-10 this year after an 0-2 showing at NCAAs after winning a match in each of the previous two tournaments. The senior has won three Southern Conference championships, posted two victories at NCAAs and furnished 62 career wins, which ranks No. 7 among Alaskans at the NCAA Division I level (Wasilla's Alan Bartelli is No. 6 with 73 at Boise State; Byers is No. 1 with 112). He still has one season remaining of eligibility.

Name of Organization: Taylor's Gift Foundation
Type of Organization: 501c3
Executive Director/President/Organization Leader: Tara Storch, President and Co-Founder
Year Founded: 2010
Geographic region served: National; based in DFW.
Annual Budget: $181,000
Number of Staff: 3
Number of Volunteers: 50+
Organizational Mission: Taylor's Gift Foundation's mission is to provide free emotional and grief support to organ, eye, and tissue donor families.
Origin: In March of 2010, on their first day of vacation in Colorado, Todd and Tara Storch were faced with something they never thought they would ever face in their lifetime – their oldest daughter Taylor had been in a skiing accident, and the doctors told them there was no hope of her surviving.
Sitting in shock in the hospital that day, they were asked a question that forever changed their lives. "Your daughter is a beautiful candidate for organ donation, would you consider it?" Immediately they said yes.
Taylor saved and improved the lives of five people with her gifts of life. Her heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and cornea gave individuals a second chance at life.
Organ donation created a mix of emotions for the Storch family; Grief because of the sudden loss and Gratitude because Taylor saved lives. Their pain sparked a purpose for sharing the importance of organ donation and for helping others who are walking a similar grief journey which led to the creation of Taylor's Gift Foundation.
Through their experience, the Kindred Hearts Program was created as the foundation's signature program.
Programs and Services: The Kindred Hearts Program available through Taylor's Gift Foundation exists so that no organ, eye, or tissue donor family ever grieves alone. The grief support services provided within the program have no costs to donor families and is available across the nation.
When Taylor's Gift is connected with a donor family, the organization reaches out within 24-48 hours to offer support. If the family would like to receive grief support, they are assigned a personal Caring Guide. Support Groups are also available to the family.
All of the organization's Caring Guides and Support Group Facilitators have lost a loved one. In addition to this lived experience, the Caring Guides and Support Group Facilitators have participated in and completed a comprehensive training workshop for their specific role. As certified grief peer professionals, Caring Guides support donor families through peer-to-peer relationships. All support group facilitators are trained experts in Taylor's Gift Foundation and have experienced similar pain and trauma to the participating donor families.
This grief support is available at no cost to each individual in the family – and to the family as a whole – for as long as the family needs support, which could be a year or more.
Donor families learn about the Kindred Hearts Program through social media, family, friends, medical professionals, and Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs).
The need for the grief services provided by the Kindred Hearts Program continues to grow on a daily basis.
Formative Moment: In late 2010, Taylor's story was featured on Good Morning America along with the moment where Taylor's loved ones first met Patricia, the recipient of Taylor's heart. The moment they listened to Taylor's heartbeat within Patricia was so powerful it left the Good Morning America hosts silent and tearful for a long moment.
Taylor's Gift Foundation was also featured on Ellen and the Today Show, and was chosen as Heroes Among Us from People Magazine.
Following the national media exposure, Taylor's family was approached about writing a book, which was eventually published in 2013. The book, entitled Taylor's Gift, with a foreword by Max Lucado, talked of faith, family, and finding purpose. It shares the raw and real journey of the family and the hope that can follow.
The process of writing this book was difficult and amazing at the same time. It was a way to let everything out.
Recent Highlight: The Kindred Hearts Program was recently recognized by the prestigious Langone Health at NYU. They recognized the need in the nation for emotional and grief support, specifically for donor families, and acknowledged that the Kindred Hearts Program is filling a gap. Through their partnership, there is now a national pilot program and research study about the Kindred Hearts Program.
Funding Model: Funding comes from individuals, sponsorships, events, and giving opportunities such as monthly giving and special campaigns. Taylor's Gift Foundation is currently engaging a grant writer to assist with additional funding requests. An active board is also assisting with development.
The Need: Organ, eye, and tissue donation usually happen because of an unexpected accident or tragedy. Family members are grieving and trying to navigate the sudden loss of their loved one who was able to give others life through organ, eye, and/or tissue donation. In 2021, there were 13,861 donors in the US. In addition to that number, there are donor-in-spirit families who altruistically say "yes" to donation, but the donation process is not able to be completed. That would equate to thousands of family members who are grieving.
All of these families are called donor families. All are grieving the sudden loss of their loved one.
Many times, people don't search out grief support because they feel that they can't afford it or don't know where to find others that have experienced a similar situation who could relate. Taylor's Gift Foundation never wants finances to get in the way of donor families getting the emotional support they need. That is why its services are free of charge. And all of the leaders within the Kindred Hearts Program have experienced personal loss.
There needs to be more awareness that the Kindred Hearts Program is widely available as a grief support resource. Taylor's Gift Foundation wants donor families to know: There is help. There is hope. Their loved one's gift goes on. They can, too.
Challenges: Resources to bring on talent to extend the reach of the foundation is a challenge. As the organization grows, it needs more hands to extend its reach. Hiring a Program Manager is top priority, along with additional Caring Guides.
Lastly, Taylor's Gift Foundation sees a challenge in keeping the organization's message fresh and engaging to the public. Consistent and creative messaging and marketing efforts are needed to keep the organization top-of-mind.
Short and Long-Term Goals: Since the Kindred Hearts Program became fully active in March 2022, Taylor's Gift Foundation has served 40 families (55 individuals). However, the number of families reaching out for support continues to increase weekly. By the end of 2022, the goal is to assist a total of 100 families.
The cost to implement the program is $2000 per-family, to provide them a year of free grief support through the Kindred Hearts Program. In 2023, Taylor's Gift Foundation strives to serve 200 families. The long-term goal is to provide 1000 families with the Kindred Hearts Program over the next 5 years.

The most common tools used in house appraisal to determine a home's market value is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and a home appraiser's local computerized database.
The MLS is primarily a real estate agent's tool and contains a listing of all the homes that are for sale in a given community. The listings will include information such as:
- Location
- Price
- Special features (if any)
The MLS also keeps track of home sales in the area. Appraisers can use the service to identify homes similar to those that are being appraised and use them in cost comparisons when conducting a house appraisal.
Appraisal companies also generally keep an updated computerized database of homes that have already been appraised. Appraiser members can access this information for comparison purposes and to establish market trends.
Traditionally, appraisers have been conservative in giving dollar-cost benefits to housing design innovations, and slow to recognize and credit the energy efficient features of homes in their house appraisal reports.
A primary reason for this has been a lack of market data showing how energy efficient features of a home influence the sales price. However, this is now beginning to change and appraisers are also starting to take note. This is why establishing an industry-backed standard method of measuring and labeling the relative energy efficiency of a home is absolutely vital.
Talk to your local certified RESNET Home Energy Professional to get more information about how making your home more energy efficient can affect its value.

The Unagi Model One has a IP54 waterproof rating which means that it is resistant against splashes, however, will not be resistant to submersion or prolonged exposure to water.
Being caught in the rain (something which isn't too unlikely in the UK!) shouldn't be much of a problem with the Unagi, however, after a journey involving water and moisture, we would always recommend for the scooter to be dried with a towel or something similar. Please don't use a source of heat such as a heater or hair dryer to dry your scooter.
Can I leave my scooter parked out in the rain?
Unfortunately, the long term exposure to water when a scooter is left out in the rain would not be recommended as this could possibly result in permanent damage to the device.
Is water damage covered under the warranty?
Unfortunately, water damage wouldn't generally be covered under the warranty.

Grandpa helps an RBD fan who is crying for not being able to buy tickets at Monterrey – El Financiero
a fan of RBD Arrived at 11am on Tuesday Jan 24th at ticket window Hope to get it Tickets for his concert in Monterreyso he was the first to take care of him line arrangement A follower of the group that will return to the stages of mexico and the united states and Brazil with him I am a rebel tour.
However, when Pre-sale Started, for Carla Silva Did not pass the debit card that he was released exclusively for this purpose Reunion And he couldn't buy the six tickets he had in mind when they hit 2 in the afternoon on Thursday the 26th, which is why he started to Inconsolable crying after 48 hours of waiting.
"No, I couldn't. I'm getting the wrong PIN and I don't know why. It can't be, I've been here since Tuesday at 11 and I've organized the whole class." His problem seems to have no solution, since he doesn't know how to access or change it from the app. "Bring the money, I'm already bringing the money, but I don't know why I can't get in. I'm in shockI was the first fan in line."
In her frustration, messages of support and even hugs from the people behind her began to arrive: "So much so that you jumped the line," "Calm down," "Until I buy it for you, even if it's yours," she listened to around you.
Grandpa helps RBD fan to buy his tickets
Salvation was for Carla Grandfather who accompanied his granddaughter To the class, as luck would have it, he had two cards, so he didn't hesitate to lend the young lady one. Maura Luna Garza confirmed that she was moved to see her in that condition and wanted to help her.
"Just seeing how she was suffering to see her RBD, we have to help her," said the person who told about spending between 25 and 30 thousand pesos for 6 tickets; 4 for Carla (hers are in Court A and another 3 are in Level Two) and 2 are for her granddaughter.
With a smile, I thanked Carla: "Hey Changandu, but you can. I am already waiting for you, I have waited 15 years to see you and I am so excited. It was worth not going to work", he added.

A conversation between two university instructors
Listen to audio recording and answer the questions
0 / 0
Listen to a conversation between two university instructors.
Henry: Ah, Roger. I thought I'd find you here.
Roger: Hello, Henry. Yes, I'm afraid the smoker's lounge is about the only place I can relax in around here. Can I do something for you, or are you just slumming?
H: Well, I was just wondering... You teach the afternoon section of Modern Social Systems, don't you?
R: Yes, that's me. Why?
H: Have you got a student in there by the name of Steiger, Sara Steiger?
R: Sara? Yes-- you know her?
H: I sure do. She's in my undergrad psychology seminar. She's beginning to be a real problem for the class, and I was just wondering how you were handling her. Or is she OK in your class?
R: OK? Uh. Yes. Well, not really-- but she's just eager to learn, I think, don't you?
H: You think so? That's why she never stops asking questions? I'll tell you what I think-- I think she already knows the answers before she asks. Or she's just asking for the sake of asking.
R: Huh? Why's that?
H: Well, half the time she wants to know about something we've already discussed in some detail, and half the time she has questions that are off-topic or, well, just, uh, mindless.
R: (sighs) I suppose you could be right about that. Sara can certainly be irritating sometimes. Sometimes I feel I'm cheating the rest of the students by spending so much time explaining things to her.
H: Exactly. And I can see them all rolling their eyes. (laughs) The rest of my class is a little irritated with her, too.
R: Maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she's just trying too hard, I dunno, to learn maybe, or maybe just to make an impression on us. I don't know what her motives could be.
H: Yeah, well. She's making an impression, all right, but it isn't a good one. Any ideas? Pro-active ones, I mean.
R: Well, I guess we should have a talk with her.
H: A talk? A private one, you mean?
R: Yeah. It's either that, or just give her the cold shoulder.
H: I'm afraid I've already been giving her a bit of that. I thought maybe she'd take the hint and sit back, listen and take notes for a change.
R: She doesn't-- Doesn't she take any notes? She does in my class-- voluminous ones!
H: Are you sure, Roger?
R: Sure, I'm sure-- she's always scribbling away.
H: But have you seen Sara's notes?
R: Well, no, but--
H: I have. I took a peek over her shoulder a couple of times. She's a doodler.
R: A what?! She doodles?
H: All over her notebook. I don't think she's keeping any kind of notes or paying any attention at all to what I'm saying or what anyone else says in class. She's just daydreaming-- or dreaming up something irrelevant to inquire into. This morning we'd been talking about Jung's theory of archetypes, and she suddenly blurted out 'What's an archtype?' Well, we'd been discussing archtypes for half an hour by then, and it was like she'd just realized that she'd heard a strange word, when the conversation was almost over.
R: Heh! That's Sara, all right. OK then, who's going to talk to her, you or me?
H: Umm..
R: OK, OK, I'll see if I can get her to come in and talk to me later this week. I'll be seeing her in class tomorrow afternoon, I guess. Maybe I can get her to settle down a little. ...She doodles?!
H: Yes! (laughs) Pretty good, really. Complex, architectural, rococo things. Maybe she should go to art school instead of majoring in sociology.
R: That's Sara's major, is it?
H: I think so-- I think she mentioned that once. Anyway, yes: if you could have a little talk with her, that would be great. And let me know what happens, what you find out, will you?
R: Of course. I'll let you know how it goes.
H: Thanks, Roger, very much. I owe you one. Now, I've got to run before all this secondhand smoke does me in.
R: (laughs) Now don't start that!
H: (laughs) All right-- but you know you should really try to---
R: Henry!
H: OK. Thanks. See you.
R: Talk to you soon.
What is the purpose of this conversation?
Why do the other students roll their eyes?
Why does Henry mention archtypes?
Why does Roger say this: " Maybe we should give her the benefit of the doubt"?
What will Roger probably do soonest?
