At the risk of repeating myself, there's nothing so wrong with the new NASCAR that an old racetrack can't fix it.
Over the last 70 years, Martinsville has earned its reputation as consistently one of the finest on the circuit. If we are to take into account the "Matt Factor" for determining a good race, (never a gap of more than two second between the leader and no more than 10 seconds between the leader and the driver in 10th) Sunday's Martinsville race was a very good one.
At no point were either criteria exceeded much less both. That's about par for the course at Martinsville. The combined margin of victory for the last 10 Cup races there is 6.547 seconds. You have to go back to 2010 to find a Cup race at this track with a gap of more than two seconds between the winner and runner-up finisher. For comparison's sake, Martin Truex Jr.'s margin of victory last year at Fontana was 11.685 seconds.
Some folks have voiced dissatisfaction with Sunday's race saying that Brad Keselowski stunk up the show leading 446 laps. While the No. 2 car did lead the majority of the race, at no point did he run away from the rest of the pack. He was normally between a quarter and a half second ahead of the driver in second, a narrow enough gap that one slip up, just getting too hard into a single corner could have easily cost him the lead.
It wasn't like Keselowski needed binoculars rather than a rearview mirror to see who was closing in on him. Late in the event, Chase Elliott had to play defense rather than offense to keep Kyle Busch behind him. Given how slim the pickings have been for top five finishes by drivers wheeling Chevys this season, I can't blame him.
Once Busch started to fade, Elliott began trying different lines and several times was able to close the gap noticeably there at the end. Given two or three laps, I think we might have seen a different winner. Or perhaps we'd have seen the No. 9 and No. 2 wreck, handing another win to Busch. You never can tell.
If you're heading to a race at Martinsville, you'll likely find yourself (stuck in hopeless traffic) on Route 58. Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine might be a better means of travel. The track is actually in Ridgeway, Virginia. But Martinsville itself is "just a piece" (to use a local euphemism) down the road. Just follow about everyone else on race weekends.
If you've never been there, Martinsville is nestled in south-central Virginia and is actually closer to Charlotte than Richmond. It's also about an hour, almost two north of High Point, North Carolina, just on the other side of the state line. Why's that important? Oh, I don't know. There's a fellow from High Point who has won 15 Cup races at Martinsville as opposed to another fellow who has been in the news lately who has won just two Cup races at the track but hails from clear across the other side of the country; Granola Country where all the fruits, nuts and flakes reside.
Among other multi-time Martinsville winners you'll find Darrell Waltrip (11 Martinsville Cup victories) Jeff Gordon (9) Jimmie Johnson (9) Rusty Wallace (7), Dale Earnhardt Sr. (6) Cale Yarborough (6) Lee Petty (3) and Tony Stewart (3). If I'm adding things up correctly, the drivers listed above account for 38 Cup series championships.
I suppose you can look at that one of two ways. Either the cream always rises to the top at Martinsville, or prowess on short tracks used to go a lot further towards deciding a NASCAR championship in that era before all the mid-length, moderately banked cookie-cutter tracks took over the schedule the way dandelions take over a springtime lawn.
To that list you can add Herb Thomas (2 titles, 2 Martinsville wins) David Pearson (3 titles, 1 Martinsville win) Joe Weatherly (2 titles, 1 Martinsville win) Buck Baker (2 titles, 1 Martinsville win) Kyle Busch (1 title, 2 Martinsville wins) Brad Keselowski (1 title, 2 Martinsville wins) Kurt Busch (1 title, 1 Martinsville win.) Tim Flock (2 titles, 1 Martinsville win.) Rex White (1 title, 2 Martinsville wins.) Bobby Isaac (1 title, 2 Martinsville wins) Joey Logano (1 title, 1 Martinsville win) and Red Byron (1st NASCAR champion, first Martinsville race winner.)
That's 56 (out of 70) combined Cup titles scored by Martinsville winners (not necessarily in the same year of course.) My point here, and I do have one, is the road to the championship runs through Martinsville. Always has, likely always will.
Martinsville is a charming anachronism of a place the sort of small southern town that's becoming an endangered species these days. (And if I find it quaint, recall one town over from me is loaded with the Amish who still use a horse and buggy was their primary source of transportation. There's quite the hullaballoo over there right now, to the point the Amish ever had a hullaballoo that is concerning a proposed casino and the Mariner pipeline.)
Martinsville is one of those places where the local's manners still have them refer to you as "ma'am" or "sir" even if you are a long-haired kid with an earring driving an El Camino that sounds like Armageddon cranked to 11. Like many small Southern towns the economy was once dependent on textiles and furniture until Wally-World and other retailers of their ilk began flooding the market with cheaper imports from Asia.
One local business that hasn't been driven under by cheap foreign competition is the Martinsville Speedway. They've been running NASCAR Cup races for as long as there's been NASCAR Cup racing (and non-NASCAR races prior to that). Martinsville hosted the sixth race of NASCAR's eight-race inaugural season, hosting at least two Cup events every year since for a total of 140 Cup events prior to this weekend's race.
There were actually three Cup races at the track in 1961 for reasons I forget, perhaps because I was two at the time. Alright, I looked it up. Rain interrupted the first Martinsville race that year shortly before the halfway point that would have made the race official. With a grim forecast and a steady downpour the powers that be decided to just go ahead and call the race official and run another event a month later for fans who were miffed by the call.
Those events, bye and bye, were won by Joe Weatherly, Richard Petty and Junior Johnson, about as talented a trio as ever to take to a NASCAR oval. My guess is that if NASCAR would decide to add a third Martinsville Cup race next year, the majority of fans would applaud the move as long as they got a vote in which track had to surrender a substandard date to make way for the third Martinsville race. About the only change of major consequence at Martinsville was when they decided to pave the joint between the two Cup races in 1955. There was some irritation amongst the racers that the powers that be had gone ahead and ruined a "perfectly good" race track by paving it.
But H. Clay Earles, the visionary who founded the Martinsville track wanted draw fans and their entire families to his track on Sundays after services. The ladyfolk weren't so fond of returning home from the track with their clothes covered in mud and dust. Let's just say that Earles knew a thing or two about promoting a race track. When Martinsville opened for its first race in 1947, there were just 750 seats. He sold 6,000 tickets to the event. Currently the population of Martinsville is listed as around 14,000 (on that internet thing anyway), but it roughly triples for two NASCAR race weekends per year (forever and ever, Amen, let us pray.)
If you're thinking about attending a race soon or trying a new track, I'd urge you to check out a Martinsville race, based both on location and the overall quality of the racing.
If the locals in the area tend to be scrupulously polite, the racing itself at Martinsville tends to be anything but. Short tempers, smoking tires, caved in fenders and shaken fists tend to be the norm not the exception at the tiny little half-mile track with 36 cars or upwards trying to find running room between visits to the notoriously tight and crowded pit road.
I'm not sure about the terminology here so bear with me. When it comes to the decades, I'm used to hearing; the 70s, the 80s (even if I can't remember much of that stretch of years) and the 90s. What do you call the period of time between the Ball dropping on New Year's Eve 2010 until the December 31st next year? Is it called "the Tens"? However you want to refer to it my nominee from the best race of the decade to date is the Martinsville fall race of 2015.
You might recall Matt Kenseth arrived at Martinsville that late October weekend (the race itself was November 1) feeling a bit less than kindly disposed towards Joey Logano. Kenseth felt he had to settle one old score, one small point of pride, after the way the younger driver had moved Kenseth out of the way to take the win at Kansas two week's prior.
Some questionable strategy calls between Logano and his Team Penske teammate Keselowski during the race further irritated Kenseth, who had a well-earned reputation as a driver slow to anger and sportsmanlike in his racing. That all went out the window that All Souls Day when Kenseth, his car already damaged, went ahead and put Logano into the wall. The crowd on hand had never heard that tune before, but they'd sung many similar songs out of the same hymnal and they loudly applauded Kenseth's move. In fact, about the only similarly loud and near universal crowd reaction I ever heard during a NASCAR race was after Dale Earnhardt Jr. won races at Talladega.
Oddly enough, then NASCAR's head honcho had termed Logano's contact with Kenseth at Kansas as "quintessential" NASCAR. He has his band of thieves had a decidedly less enthusiastic reaction to Kenseth's move on Logano at Martinsville parking Kenseth for the rest of the race and in fact the next two races.
After the dust had settled the racing naturally resumed. The fans had paid to see some action, and although by then they'd seen plenty, such events must be run to their conclusion, even as the last rays of the afternoon sun were fading into the darkness of a fall evening. And that afternoon Jeff Gordon went on to win what will presumably be his last Cup win of his career. The crowd responded enthusiastically to that unforeseen happenstance as well, a bit surprising in that many of the long-time fans on hand for the race hadn't thought too much of Driver No. 24 earlier in his career. Just good manners or just a very good race? You decide.
Or perhaps if you've been following the sport long enough you might recall a little last lap tussle at Martinsville between Terry Labonte, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Darrell Waltrip, all of whom gave their opinions on whether it was a good race after the fact.
Naturally, there has been an occasional race at Martinsville that wasn't up to the track's standards. Such is the nature of a real sport as opposed to orchestrated entertainment. But among my sect of the two wheel fraternity there's an expression that a bad day aboard a Harley Davidson still beats a good day doing almost anything else. A mediocre race at Martinsville still beats the majority of the best races on the cookie cutters.
Over the years, NASCAR's greatest have often battled it out at Martinsville, and sometimes it hasn't been pretty. Fenders get bent, tires start smoking and unkind words are said over the radio
Yep, the late Mr. Earles figured out something it behooves every businessperson on any scale to take to heart. Whether you're running NASCAR, a small local business, or doing something as inconsequential as writing a weekly column on the sport these words apply.
"The secret to success in our business is giving the customer what he wants. When a man plunks down his money, he deserves the best. You try to make him comfortable, give him a great show and make sure he gets his money's worth. And we've always tried to do just that. Your customers are your greatest assets and that will never change. You actually sell the customer a memory as much as a race. If their memories are good, they'll keep coming back."
And for the last 70 years, the fans have kept coming back to Martinsville.

A Facebook post says ice can't melt in Antarctica because the average daily air temperature remains well below the melting point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius).
The post (screenshot here) on an Australian group's page also claims that for "any ice to melt" the average daily temperature would need to rise by more than 100F (about 37.8C).
The claims are false. Experts told AAP FactCheck the vast southern continent's average air temperature is a poor indicator for ice melts as summer temperatures in some regions can be above 10C. Additionally coastal water temperatures play a greater role in ice loss.
AAP FactCheck has previously debunked the idea Antarctica is not losing ice.
Additionally, the suggestion extreme cold temperatures in Antarctica somehow disprove climate change or show warming is not taking place has been debunked by AAP FactCheck and others (see here, here and here).
Experts say it's pointless to use average air temperature as an indicator for ice melts, as the temperature in one area of the continent is no indication of what's occurring in other areas. The continent is already losing billions of tons of ice mass each year.
Dr Kyle Clem, a lecturer in climate science at Victoria University of Wellington, told AAP FactCheck that average temperature is not a useful metric when looking at the impact of climate change on Antarctica.
"Temperature varies hugely across Antarctica and the 'average' is a very misleading number," Dr Clem said in an email.
"Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia, ranging from latitudes of near 65°S to 90°S. That's like saying the climate of Darwin is representative of Hobart. Or the climate of Miami, Florida is representative of Montreal, Canada."
Dr Clem said broad measures of average temperature were particularly useless in Antarctica, due to the dramatic change in conditions between seasons.
"Continent-wide average is a pointless metric to describe total potential surface melt in Antarctica," he said.
"Especially the annual-mean temperature, when you are dealing with a huge seasonal swing in temperature in Antarctica due to nearly continuous darkness during the winter and continuous insolation during the summer."
While the average temperature for the entire continent is below freezing, there are many regions which reach temperatures above melting point.
The highest recorded temperature on the Antarctic continent was 18.3C in February 2020.
Coastal areas can often reach temperatures above 10C in summer, and are almost 50 degrees warmer on average than inland regions which experience extreme cold.
Despite the post's claim average Antarctic temperatures would need to rise more than 37C for any melting to occur, air temperature is already causing melting in Antarctica, particularly during the hotter months.
Ted Scambos, senior research scientist at the Earth Science and Observation Center, says small temperature changes can have a significant impact.
"For air temperature, a rise of just 2C to 5C would be very significant, causing many coastal regions to begin to break up due to water-induced fracturing," Dr Scambos told AAP FactCheck in an email.
"For ocean temperature, it is a question of the speed of the warmer current – no further rise is needed, the ice is already retreating at up to 150 billion tons per year."
Dr Scambos says the post also misleads people by focusing solely on air temperature. While air temperature contributes to ice loss, the most significant melting occurs in the ocean.
"Air temperatures are only part of the problem for Antarctica," he said.
"Warmer ocean conditions at depth are the main concern for the largest, thickest glaciers … This water can melt many tens of metres of ice away from the edge each year, again allowing the interior ice to flow out faster. This is the major concern now for sea level rise over the next several decades."
Professor Chris Rapley, a climate science researcher at University College London, also confirmed that ice loss from ocean temperature was far more significant than surface melt caused by air temperature.
"Surface melt occurs above 0 degrees Celsius and the resulting melt pond can flow down through crevasses to the underside of the ice sheet where they can join a quite complex network of subglacial lakes and drainage, some of which reaches the sea," Professor Rapley told AAP FactCheck in an email.
"But the main contribution of Antarctica to sea level rise comes from ice loss via coastal glaciers."
The Verdict
The claim ice can't melt in Antarctica because the average daily temperature is below melting point is false. Experts told AAP FactCheck average air temperature for an entire continent is a pointless measure for ice melts, with Antarctica losing billions of tons of ice each year.
Additionally the most significant melting occurs in the ocean because of water temperatures.
False – The claim is inaccurate.

In the stillness of the forest, this tiny fawn lay helplessly on the ground, unable to move. Its mother was nowhere to be seen, and the young deer was all alone, vulnerable to the dangers of the wild. That was until the cameraman came to the rescue.
Darius, the cameraman, was looking out in his backyard and noticed a whitetail deer giving birth. What he captured next is something extraordinary. One of the fawns had an injured leg and was unable to keep up with the mother.
Eventually, the fawn was left behind and the mother did not return. That's when Darius took action. "I do not support keeping wild animals as pets, but this was a special situation," Darius said.
This is truly the most incredible video I've seen in a while.
Darius took in the fawn and nursed it back to health. His other animals accepted the fawn into their family. It wasn't long until the baby deer was ready to be released back into the wild, but Darius wanted to find her mom. He set out to find his mother with the fawn and that's when I realized the connection they had already had with each other. The fawn followed Darius around. Darius could have kept the fawn, but he ended up finding its mother. He finds them again a few months later.
It's incredible to see this from beginning to end, so touching.
Don't hesitate to share this heartwarming story with your friends and family…

Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant apparently attended a Las Vegas Golden Knights (Gold Knights, really?) game last knight (get it?), so of course we're all treated to another round of "Harper is going to sign in Chicago, right?" speculation. Peter Gammons did, after all, like totally report that a source said Harper was interested in signing on in Chicago when he's a free agent... and then clarified that, "I don't think it's ever going to happen," though most people seem to have missed that second part.
Whatever, Harper is totally in a picture with Bryant, and that is all the proof we need that he's a future Cub. Enough rambling. Link time...
We underway and it seems all of Vegas has turned out for this one. #VegasBorn pic.twitter.com/yIq8ZQFjQu
— Vegas Golden Knights (@GoldenKnights) November 29, 2017
Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant went to a hockey game and Cubs fans lost their minds
"Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper is still a year away from free agency, but Chicago Cubs fans can't help but imagine him in their favorite team's jersey."
How does Erick Fedde fit in Nationals' 2018 plans?
"In the third start, his velocity fell into the high 80s as he threw 112 pitches over six innings, a dugout decision that rankled front office decision-makers who had known of some soreness beforehand and warned coaches to be wary."
Nationals have fewer bullpen holes to fill
"Building a bullpen has become sort of a winterly tradition in Washington, one that a year ago gave Nationals fans stress as the team searched for an established closer."
No. 6 Nats prospect: Luis Garcia
"One player that maybe a lot of Nationals fans may not be familiar with is a teenage second baseman from New York City named Luis Garcia."
Despite concern after ACL tear, Eaton should be upgrade for Nats
"We only got a month's worth of playing time to make an evaluation, but Eaton sure did look worth it during that dynamic April."
What Can Nationals Fans Expect From Daniel Murphy Next Season After Knee Surgery?
"The procedure is typically relatively quick, done through two poke holes in the skin; the recovery is the hard part."
The biggest offseason needs for MLB playoff teams
"However, for a team hoping to cap Bryce Harper's walk year with a championship, the Nats need to think of Wieters as something between a sunk cost and an overqualified backup."
After a Year on TV, Matt Williams Can't Wait to Help A's: 'I'm a Rat, Man'
"'My most comfortable place is on the field, in the uniform,' said Williams, 52. 'I'm a rat, man. That's where I'm most comfortable, swinging a fungo with blisters on my hands and in the grind of 4:30 a.m. to the ballpark.'"
Editorial: PBC leaders must get in game to fix ballpark ills
As reported by The Post's Joe Capozzi, many of the 35 subcontractors have been pleading with both the teams and the four general contractors, led by Hunt Construction Group, to pay up.

At SF State, Israeli Arab Christian Traces Journey From IDF to Interfaith Activism
by Daniel Yeluashvili
On November 5th, San Francisco State University was visited by a guest the likes of whom is seldom expected. His name is Yoseph Haddad and he is a social activist, a former soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, and a survivor of a missile attack by the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. He is also a proud Israeli Arab, one of the country's approximately 1.8 million, and loves his home country. Haddad's intersectional identity as an Israeli, Arab, Christian and trauma survivor is a testament to the value of untold stories like his.
Yoseph Haddad was born in the Israeli city of Nazareth — yes, that Nazareth — which has a predominantly Arab population. He grew up wanting to serve in the IDF, which Israeli Jews are obligated to do by law (with few exceptions) and Arabs are allowed to but, for various reasons, often don't. Primarily, there is a cultural stigma among Israeli Arabs towards serving in the IDF; some identify more with Palestinian national identity than Israel's, despite the fact that the majority of the Israeli Arab population is proud of their nationality.
Yet Haddad not only felt pride in his nationality, he acted on it. At the age of 18, he enlisted to serve in the IDF and was accepted to the Golani Brigade, an infantry unit that traditionally operates in the formerly Syrian Golan Heights. In 2006, towards the end of his service and amid the Second Lebanon War, Haddad suffered one of the most traumatic experiences of his life: a Hezbollah missile killed his squadmates and severely injured him during a battle in Bint J'bil, Lebanon.
"All I could think," Haddad recalls, "is 'what am I going to say to my mother?'"
Having since recovered from his injury, Haddad is now the founder and CEO of an interfaith nonprofit called Together — Vouch for Each Other, which facilitates dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians. He has personally experienced hateful attacks and harassment from Jews and Arabs alike, motivated by bigotry, but responds to them with discussion and an open mind.
One such example came from an Israeli Jew who said he'd never met a friendly Arab and that there was no such thing. One long discussion later, he agreed to join Haddad and Together — Vouch for Each Other and to attend future events.
Yoseph Haddad is a unique individual: an Israeli Arab Christian who has experienced life with a disability. At the same time, he's no different from anybody else, as we are all capable of making a difference in society through open-minded dialogue.

5 Secrets About Mobile Vs. Manufactured Vs. Modular homes That Nobody Will Tell You
This article is for all those who have been looking for mobile homes but don't know what type of home to buy or how much they should pay. There are basically three types of home construction currently, mobile home, manufactured home and modular home. You see, there is now a big difference between the three types of construction and what each one offers homeowners. Now, these three construction options all have their pros and cons, but whichever type of home you decide on will ultimately depend on your preferences. Let's take a look at them all, one by one:
Mobile Homes – One thing that makes mobile homes the top choice of people when it comes to home construction is the fact that they are prefabricated. This means that the actual construction of the home itself is done outside of the home and only a foundation is needed once in place. Mobile homes are very easy to construct, thanks to the fact that they can be put together rather quickly as opposed to other types of homes that require a lot more time to be built. They are also very efficient in the way that they convert into different sizes. You can easily turn them from a small ranch house to a large single or two story home very easily with only a little planning and foresight.
Although mobile homes are great if you are only going to be gone for a day or two, they are terrible for long term living. Most mobile homes are not built with longevity in mind and many end up needing a lot of maintenance in the years to come. If you want a home that will last, prefabricated homes are definitely the way to go. They are more affordable, efficient and provide a better quality home than any other home style.

Pilferage Prevention Features – Customised Restaurant Management Software
The customised restaurant management software helps to prevent pilferage of items as you can compare sales and the presumtive raw materials that had to be consumed with the actual stock.
You can then cross check very easily against your purchases.
To start with, we have to enter the raw materials or ingredients required in the preparation of each dish in our menu as shown in the screenshot below.
Data Entry of Materials Required for Preparation
This process has to be done for all the Food items on your Menu. The reports are generated for the raw materials (Ingredients) in stock by substracting the ingredients consumed as per the sales from the total stock.
Another report gives you the total consumption of raw materials.
A third report lets you know the items in short supply i.e. the item quantity is equal to less than the reorder level. The reorder levels can be set by you and updated as and when necessary.
Raw materials Consumption from sales of dishes
Other Features
There are several other features like the cost comparison report where you can compare the purchase cost from several suppliers as shown in the screenshot below.

With Valentine 's Day fast approaching you might be looking for a nice bottle of bubbly or something pink and lovely to share with your loved one on the day itself, or over the weekend that runs up to it. We tasted four wines, all at around the £6 mark, that might be just what you are looking for. All four are widely available and very affordable for quaffing while having a romantic night in, with your Valentine's dinner, or before going with your partner to that romantic restaurant. And let's face it, at these prices you could probably afford more than just the one bottle.
The Hardys Crest Chardonnay – Pinot Noir is a crisp pale white sparkling wine. As you lift it to your nose, it gives you fresh clean sharp green fruits and a hint of citrus. On the palate, as you wash it around your mouth you get a nice sharpness on the edge of the tongue and there are fine under-ripe strawberry flavours, together with a biscuity toastiness. Although a Brut wine its fruity flavour gives a hint of sweetness in the background and some good tang comes through in its length, leaving you with a good sharp finish. The wine has an abundant stream of fine soft bubbles and although crisp, it has a creamy texture in the mouth. This is a wine that would be great to drink on its own, but could also be used in making a kir, using cassis or your other favourite fruit liqueur.
The Hardys Crest sparkling Chardonnay – Pinot noir has an RRP of £5.69
The Hardys Crest sparkling Rose is an attractive delicate pink in the glass. As you take in its aroma you get you get fresh red berries, strawberry and raspberry in particular and there is a distant hint of watermelon. On the palate you taste lively sharp strawberry with some citrus and cranberry notes coming through. The wine has a good acidity, yet it has some body and a creaminess in the mouth. It is clean and refreshing with medium/gentle bubbles and leaves you with a good, lingering acidic fruitiness on the tongue in its length. This is a wine that absolutely can be drunk on its own and its delicate shade of pink would lift any romantic moment.
The Hardys Crest Sparkling Rose also has a RRP of £5.69
The Hardys VR Rose 2010 is a lovely deep pink still wine that looks rich and inviting in the glass. It has a bouquet of fresh strawberry, raspberry and a hint of redcurrant. As you drink it you taste strawberry very strongly on the palate and watermelon, it has a fruity 'sweetness' and some tang on the edge of the tongue when washed around the mouth. It is a wine with a slight syrupy mouth coating quality and has some nice length to it. The bottle recommends accompanying antipasto, and yes, it would work with starter dishes like that, but equally, it is certainly a wine that can be enjoyed while relaxing with someone special.
Hardys VR Rose has a RRP of £6.20
The Fish Hoek Pinotage Rose 2009 another blushing pink wine has an edgy strawberry sharpness as you lift it to your nose. On the palate there is soft ripe strawberry with some cherry notes and a little effervescent tang on the edge of the tongue. This is a good easy drinking fruity wine with some nice length, its flavour develops as its temperature rises in the glass becoming bolder. This is a wine that again is perfectly fine for enjoying on its own but would be a great accompaniment for fish dishes, perhaps poached salmon, or with lighter meat starter dishes.
The Fish Hoek Pinotage Rose has a RRP of £6.90

Poll: 57% out of Utahns disapprove out of Biden's education loan forgiveness package
Patrick Holman, that is throughout the 20 borrowing hours of earning their bachelor's knowledge in English, qualifies for $20,100 loan forgiveness beneath the Biden management initiative.
"I am considering I'm able to retain the partner. That is more under control than simply $40,000 to $50,000 once I become for the 2023," he told you.
Holman been going to neighborhood college after twelfth grade however, their road to earning an excellent bachelor's studies got of numerous starts and you will concludes between gonna school, taking time-out to be hired and often trying balance each other at the same time.

"Whether it's transferring student loan expense in order to scores of almost every other taxpayers otherwise ignoring federal the police laws, the fresh president will continue to your investment monitors and you will stability within program," Cox said. "If you would like find a modification of all of our rules, do the time and effort that it requires so you can enact you to definitely change having Congress.

So much for the brilliant time I'd been having. Why do they all have to go back to work? No one takes any notice of me now again and the walks have got shorter. The only person who's been to see me all week is friend Peter. Even little person Sara hasn't bothered. There were two other fellas who came with Sammy today but they didn't say much to me. What's a dog s'posed to do?
On a good (musical) note, the she boss had some music on today when she was wiping everywhere over with a cloth like she does for some reason. We had a good dance together which was good fun. I recognise Sammy's voice on some of the music but I didn't know he'd got a friend called Jack Jones. I haven't met that one yet.

So, you've decided to leave your full-time job and set up an online teaching business. Congrats! You've taken the first step towards creating freedom.
But now you might be wondering what steps you should take next… because there's a lot involved in starting a business, and you're new to this!
I get it, teacher. I went through the same thing when I set up my first language school. Now, as a business coach, I'm here to help you start a profitable, sustainable and enjoyable online teaching business. And that begins right here!
Here are 9 steps you should take to start your online language teaching business.
Step 1: Decide who you want to work with
Before you say it, my dear teacher, the answer is NOT anyone who wants to learn the language you teach!
The most successful online teaching businesses focus on helping a specific group of people. Because the more focused you are, the higher your chances of standing out.
Want an example? I'm a business coach for language teachers because I'm a qualified and experienced English teacher turned trainer turned language school manager turned biz coach (it's a lot, I know!). I could theoretically coach other teachers, but I'm best suited to YOU!
So, who are you most qualified to teach? Here are some things to think about:
- Who have you worked with in the past?
- Who are your current students?
- Who would you love to work with?
- Who aligns best with your passions?
This will help you find your perfect niche and target audience!
Step 2: Research your audience
Ok, so it's not enough to choose a target audience. You also need to figure out if there is actually any demand for your services in this market. Because no demand will mean no sales!
You can do that by searching online for competitors (competition isn't a bad thing – it shows there is demand!) and inviting your ideal students to take surveys or interviews.
DON'T wait until you have all the answers to start taking action, though. You can (and should) continuously listen to your people and adapt your offers and marketing strategy.
Step 3: Choose your business name
You'll need a name of some sort so that your audience can recognise you. But it doesn't have to be perfect – you can always change it later!
A lot of teachers choose names like 'English with so and so'. This is fine, but it won't stick out in a sea of competition.
So I challenge you to think of something unique. What are you talking about in your content? What's your niche? What do your ideal clients care about? Try to be creative!
Step 4: Decide where you'll market
Step 2 should also have given you an idea of where your target audience is hanging out. THIS is where you want to be marketing your offers.
Don't just create an Instagram page or a TikTok account because they're popular. It's no good wasting time creating content for a platform that your ideal students aren't on.
My advice? Start with one or two channels and build them up before anything else. There's no rush. You can run a profitable teaching business with just a few marketing channels.
Once you've chosen your platforms, create accounts and start following people in your niche and people who post content that will help you in your entrepreneurial journey.
Hint: you can find me on Instagram here. 😉
Step 5: Decide what you'll invest in
Brace yourself! When you enter the online teaching business world, you'll find tons of people trying to sell you services to help you get started.
YES, many of these courses and products are useful… but NO, you don't have to buy them all – especially at the start!
The first six to twelve months are about building the foundations of your business, which means making investments that will drive your business forward right now.
Priorities at the start should be things like:
- A contract that protects you and your students
- A platform where you can host your lessons (like Zoom)
- An invoicing system that makes you look super professional
- An email platform that sends lesson and payment reminders to students
- A design tool like Canva to make fancy lesson materials (but the free version is also great)
- A business coaching program to guide you in the right direction, like my course, the Rocket TakeOff!
Step 6: Package your classes
If you're serious about running a profitable teaching business, you need to start thinking like an entrepreneur and not a freelancer.
That means no longer offering one-off or pay-as-you-go classes and creating course packages. Whether you bundle them by hours, weeks or months, charging in blocks gives you a more stable income and your students a more structured learning path.
Oh, also, NEVER teach anyone before they've paid. It's only a matter of time until someone's email 'stops working' when the invoice arrives. Convenient, eh! 🙄
Step 7: Plan your processes
Create contracts: If you take one thing away from this post, make it this! Contracts are SO important in your business because they protect you from losing money, dealing with red flag students, and, in extreme cases, legal action.
Automate bookings: Why waste time arranging lessons with every student when tools like Calendly can do it for you? These allow your students to see your availability and book slots directly, which will save you sooo much time and energy.
Choose a payment processor: PayPal, Stripe, Square – there are tons of payment processors to choose from. Figure out which one works best for you and your clients, depending on where you and they are based.
Decide your sales process: Will you offer a free call to new leads before they decide to sign up? You don't HAVE to, but it's effective when you're still building your reputation and don't have much social proof.
Step 8: Create your assets
Many coaches claim you should build a website before you launch your teaching business. But let me be clear…
You DO NOT need a website to sell.
Honestly, creating one too early is just a waste of money because it takes time and experience to fully understand who you're targeting, what you're offering and what your brand personality is like.
Instead of rushing to build a website, why not make a simple course introduction document on a program like Canva? This is FAR cheaper and easier to edit and update as you grow.
Step 9: Plan time for your business
The last thing you need to think about as you set up your online teaching business is your schedule.
What do I mean by that? Well, to create sustainable growth, you'll need to work ON and IN your business.
Working ON your business means anything you do to move it forward – like posting on social media, creating new offers, hosting events, etc.
Working IN your business, on the other hand, means planning, teaching and serving your clients.
It's easy to get stuck on the hamster wheel of classes when you're busy, so reserve some time each week to market your business so your leads don't dry up!
Woohoo! I think you're just about ready to start your online teaching business.
I hope you've found this helpful, teacher. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me on Instagram at @ola_coaches_teachers.
Or, if you need my support in setting your business up for success, consider the Rocket Take Off!
To your success, teacher!

TURKISH JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY, vol.22, no.2, pp.51-54, 2016 (ESCI)
The principal aim of "intraoperative neuromonitoring" (IN) is to prevent potential neurologic deficits that may be caused by the surgical process, which is very appropriate to the principal rule of medicine "primum non nocere." Monitoring neurologic structures, in addition to reducing the neurologic deficits, also provides very valuable knowledge about anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system. IN is almost a routine technique during surgeries concerned with central and/or peripheral neurologic structures. The monitoring technique used varies depending on the involved neurologic structure and the aim of the surgical intervention. Because of this, the staff that run the monitoring must be well trained and experienced. As it similar in the other countries, there are serious controversies in IN in our country in terms of training, price, and legal aspects. Before the problems become bigger and hard to solve, all sides of neuromonitoring must be together to regulate all aspects of the issue.

An easier diagnosis may be coming for ulcerative colitis patients, as researchers at Georgia State University recently used a special type of spectroscopy to examine the blood serum of mice with the disease.
For those of you that don't know, a spectroscopy is a scientific measurement technique to accurately identify and quantify certain materials in the body.
In their findings, the scientists used an infrared spectroscopy, and they found nine different peaks of absorption that could be used to indicate the presence of ulcerative colitis.
Ulcerative colitis is a rare inflammatory bowel syndrome that results in sores and ulcers developing in the large intestine. These in turn cause a series of debilitating symptoms, but many people do not like getting screened for the disease because colonoscopies are costly, uncomfortable, and have risks of complications.

If ever there was a mutually beneficial relationship, the arrangement between the pitcher plant and the shrew is one. The pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant with jug-shaped leaves forming a deep opening inside of which their digestive enzymes metabolize food. Most of the time, carnivorous plants eat insects (certain larger ones even eat small animals like mice and birds), but some, like the Nepenthes lowii pitcher plants dine on a particular delicacy.
In order to survive and grow, most plants need the basics: water, sunlight, air and nutrients. The top necessary nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is considered the most important and plants absorb it more than any of the other elements.
Researchers studying N. lowii pitcher plants on the Southeast Asian island of Borneo found that the plants derived much of their nutrition from the feces of the tree shrew, a small mammal native to that mountainous, tropical forest region. Tree shews resemble squirrels, but are not rodents. They are slender animals with a long muzzle and sharp claws. Their diet includes insects, seeds and fruit. It turns out that shrew poop is rich in the much-needed nitrogen that the pitcher plant needs to thrive. Indeed, 57 to 100 percent of the nitrogen that the pitcher plant consumes comes from fecal matter.
It is very hard for carnivorous plants in mountain areas to find ants and other insects to eat, so the pitcher plants had to adapt. It is mainly the aerial pitcher plants that devour shrew feces. These pitcher plants are mature plants that attach themselves to vines to make it easier for the shrews to jump on (and poop in) them. The pitcher plant's opening, also known as a pitfall trap, is suitably shaped for the shrew to place his bottom on in order to to eliminate waste. It is much like a toilet seat. When it rains, the water even washes the waste down into the funnel of the plant. Nature remembers to flush!
So, what does the shrew get in return for its precious poop? Well, the mountain tree shrew loves the nectar on the underside of pitcher plant's leaves near the plant's opening. While the shrew is licking the sugary treat, he is also efficiently positioned over the plant's pit and is able to enjoy a meal and have a bowel movement without moving from his tropical toilet. It's a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" type of business transaction.
Researchers believe this reciprocal relationship has been going on for a while. Besides clinging to vines to keep themselves above ground to give the shrew easy access to them, the pitcher plant also adapted in other ways to make its feces feast more available. Studies show the varieties of pitcher plants that are ground plants have slippery rims in order to trap insects. However, the aerial pitcher's rim is not slick in order that the tree shrew can avoid falling off the plant during its meal and bathroom break. The N. lowii pitcher plants produce the most amount of nectar of any of their species and this keeps the abundant population of tree shrews happily fed. The plant is also sturdy enough to hold the small animal, which is usually not more than half a pound in weight.
The shrews also choose favorite plants to which they like to return for their dessert and dump. The researchers have videotaped evidence of this odd conduct that show the tree shrews rubbing the lids of their preferred plant with their genitals in order to leave their scent and stake their claim. They go back to the same plants repeatedly when it's eating and pooping time.
This curious quid pro quo between the pitcher plant and the tree shrew gives a humorous, but strong example of the interdependent and interconnected nature of our world.
