How to achieve the perfect twistout
Is there anything worse than spending hours washing your hair, twisting it, waiting hours for it to dry only for it to look a hot mess? I've been there way more times than I care to remember but for the first time, I've finally got it down to a science. Learn from my mistakes and let your twistouts flourish with the tips below!
Make sure your hair is completely detangled
Unless you enjoy holding your arms up and fighting with knots that you've made worse by twisting them into more knots, you're going to want to make sure your hair is detangled from ends to root. I prefer to detangle with a wide tooth comb and then a detangler brush.
Use a detangler brush to smooth curls
I prefer the Denman for now, but just make sure the bristles don't have balls at the end. Brushing each section you're about to twist makes each strand smoother and more uniform from root to end, resulting in better definition.
Make sure hair is mostly dry or damp
Soaking wet hair is great for wash and gos as water is essential for bringing out your curl pattern. But, if you're doing a twistout, you probably don't want your natural pattern to compete with your twistout pattern. I've had many failed twistouts and this is usually the reason why.
Twistouts on dry, stretched hair are better
Although you can achieve a great twistout on freshly washed hair, the best & most predictable twistout results I've had have been done on dry, stretched hair. Stretched hair can be achieved by blowing out hair, using the banding method, or combing out a braidout, flexi rod, or curlformers set. Again, you want to reduce competing curl patterns and stretched hair will make your hair more willing to take on the twistout pattern.
Twist in same direction
I realized recently that I was playing myself by not paying attention to the direction I was twisting in. Twisting in the same direction helps the curls frame your face, prevents tangling, and helps your style look more uniform. My preference is to twist my hair away from my hairline on both sides of my head.
Make sure twists aren't too fat
And make sure both strands are even. If you're looking for big, loose beach waves, a fat twist actually isn't so bad. However, these twistouts usually don't last long. The smaller your twists , the more definition you'll have and the longer they will last.
Choose the right styler
I won't tell you what brand to use (although I'm a big fan of Form Beauty's Twist Creme, for which you can use code 'cubiclesandcurls' for a discount. It's my blog so I'ma shameless plug when I want to!) but I will tell you that there are generally three options: butters, cremes/lotions, and gels.
Butters will usually give you the strongest hold and moisturized twists without being hard, but may be greasy if used heavy handedly. Cremes are a nice option as they usually have a good hold, aren't as greasy, and don't usually cause much product build up. Gels generally give good hold, but some cause your curls to be hard and crunchy or flake. I don't like gels but their are some that are nice, like flaxseed gel. Whichever type you choose, just don't choose Ecostyler because we're practicing self love in 2017.
Flat twists vs individual twists
There are benefits to both. I prefer flat twists because I'm more likely to get a more uniform curl size and my hair will be defined at my roots. I also like that I don't have to separate my twists and risk frizz because they naturally separate themselves during the take down process. On the other hand, individual twists can last longer, are easier to do, and be put into cuter styles until you're ready to take them out and they will usually result in more volume at the roots.
Proper untwisting technique
So, boom! You've done all the prep work above and it's time for the take down. You only got one shot, do not miss your chance to glo! *No pressure*.
There are a few ways to unravel twists but the best way is to lightly coat your finger tips in a light oil (NOT Castor oil!) and either untwist from the ends all the way up or unwind your twist counter clockwise (or whatever direction is opposite of the way you twisted) until it unravels itself. You never just want to pull your twists a part from the top or middle bc your ends will either knot up or get frizzy and the only way to fix it is to start all over again. If you want it to last, I recommend not separating too much on the first day. If you must separate, find the natural point of separation and do so slowly and gently.
I took my twists out but they weren't dry!
Oh honey. You knew you were wrong. You felt that first undone twist was wet and should have twisted it right back up. But you didn't and now you're sad because you spent 3 hours in the shower last night. I know. There, there. Here's three possible solutions before you have to bun it up:
- If you haven't unraveled your twists yet, sit under a hair dryer or hair dryer extension for 25-30 minutes. This might not get it all the way dry, but it will be better than what it was before.
- If you've already unraveled your twists , you have .05678 seconds to grab your blow dryer and concentrator attachment to dry the roots . Hold your section of hair from the middle of the strands and pull taught. Let the concentrator work it's magic. It won't be the defined curls you wanted. It might be more stretched and voluminous. But it also won't be a big poof ball and we can both agree that's better.
- Assuming you didn't make the rookie mistake of taking your hair out 5 minutes before you had to be somewhere, and maybe your ends are dry but the roots are not, use Bobby pins to secure the wet parts to your hair which will allow them to dry quicker but not shrink and frizz in the process.

Jewel Tones and Bold Patterns
I'm a big fan of bright saturated colors and bold patterns in interiors. Interior designer Sasha Bikoff doesn't hold back with the vibrant hues in this incredible New York apartment.
I'm in love. The bright saturated jewel tones on the furniture in the living room are fantastic. All those pieces are so bold that the rug, which is fairly striking itself, looks somewhat muted in this space. I love the floral print on the dining chairs too.
How cute is this cabinet? I love the art deco vibe that it has. Also, I really like the pastel pink mixed with the white and black accents.
I love the butterfly pattern on the throw pillows. I also like the bright pink upholstery on an antique-style chairs. It creates an interesting juxtaposition between old and new and it looks fantastic.
I love the bright blue antique side table. It fits in really well in this space.
The deep purple chaise longue is fabulous! That throw looks super soft and comfy. I love the butterfly wallpaper in the powder room too!
I rarely use this term to describe interiors, but this bedroom is super dreamy. Between the crystal chandelier, the floral print setee, and the huge sheepkin rug, this incredible space really makes you feel like you're dreaming.
I love the pink satin curtain in front of the doorway. It really adds to the dreamy, luxurious vibe of this bedroom.

Instagram API shutdown : the good, the bad and the ugly
On the January 30th, Instagram announced the launch of the Instagram Graph API and the deprecation of the Instagram API Platform.
While it is still not completely clear what will be next, there are a few interesting points to be discussed:
The good😊
- A new way to access Instagram data is coming: the Instagram graph API.
- This API is specifically designed for brands and businesses, and has novel features such as insights, business discovery and comments moderation.
- In 2019, an updated version of the graph API will include basic permission for non-business profiles .
The bad😐
- The old Instagram API will be progressively shut down and completely removed in 2020.
- All the workflows and products using the old API will need to be updated.
The ugly😨
- Hashtag search will be shut down in early 2019.
- The reachable audience will be limited to people directly engaging with brands (but this might change).
What are the business implications of this for Market Research and Social Media Intelligence companies?
The shutdown of the Instagram API has an impact on their methodologies and workflows because of course, they want to use Instagram data to uncover insights. The big implication is how. They will have to change the way they work in regards their methodologies and workflows. The good thing is that this generates new opportunities and methodologies for the sector.
Is Instagram the first to safeguard their data? Are there other social media platforms will follow suit?
There are already other social networks that are not completely open - for instance, Facebook. This is a trend and as we know, data is the new oil. This means that if you are a social network connecting billions on data points, you want to safeguard the data and keep for yourself, so you can harvest value from it.
What are the other big trends on social media today?
The big trends are the closed networks such as Snapchat and WhatsApp. However the challenge is how brands can participate in those private conversations: there is very little room for activities there.
We need to invent a new approach for really harvesting insights and value from this data.
Are there alternative methods to harvest insights from social media?
Social media listening is based on a passive approach: listening to what consumers are saying without engagement. Maybe an active and programmatic approach where we can ask consumers questions would be a good complement.
Check out our video for more thoughts and potential solutions:

Welcome to CrossFit PTown
CrossFit PTown
, we don't do one-size-fits-all fitness. Why would we? Everyone comes to us with different needs, goals, and objectives. And, we're 100% dedicated to helping you achieve the results you want.
CrossFit PTown
's skilled coaches have developed a new approach to fitness, building an athletic program that's comprehensive, inclusive and always challenging. Inside these walls, your safety is always our foremost priority. All movements can be modified for all fitness levels and abilities. Our focus is on your well-being and fitness longevity.
CrossFit PTown
selection of programs includes
, B|X, our high-intensity circuit-style workout; B|Fit our strength and conditioning program; B|Flow, a vinyasa style Yoga and B|Mobile, an active recovery class. Regardless of the class or classes you take, you'll be excited, engaged and always having fun.
CrossFit PTown
, we're about more than just fitness. We're a family – a family supported by a team of coaches and staff, each dedicated to offering guidance and support to you, every day. Since we believe you deserve the best when you're giving your best, all our amenities are top of the line.
Here, inside the
CrossFit PTown
walls, things are different. Cheers are louder, smiles are bigger and expectations are higher. That's why you'll be able to do a little more, move a little faster and stick with it a little longer.
Brick is the best gym in Pleasanton – not even close. If you want results, CrossFit PTown is where you need to go. Every workout is challenging and there's an awesome variety of classes (B|X is a more cardio-focused HIIT class, CrossFit, B|FIT (a cross between B|X & CrossFit), Yoga, etc.). That said, the coaches are the best and what differentiates this gym – they challenge you in a really positive way, they make it fun, and they've built a great community in a short period of time. As a first time CrossFitter, they were super patient with me, focused on technique and safety, and modify each workout to challenge everyone relative to their fitness level. I really like just showing up and doing a new workout everyday – I like the fact that I don't have to think or plan what to do at the gym, knowing if that if I attend class, it will be a new challenge.
Professional certified trainers, super clean facility with lots of great amenities, amazing workouts, lots of classes offered throughout the day to fit anyone's schedule, and most importantly, you will see results! I have been going to CrossFit PTown for a few months and I have dropped sizes and gained more muscle. The members are all friendly and its a very positive environment. I highly recommend CrossFit PTown and couldn't be happier being a member.
I'm so grateful to have found CrossFit PTown. I've needed to find some inspiration and excitement to get be back to the gym and BCrossFit PTown has done that for me! I've learned so much from the coaches. I've been doing squats wrong my whole life and I had no idea. No wonder all the knee issues! To have a professional coach you on movements and great people that you look forward to seeing at class – it feels like a family! Also, the place is so clean – there are even hair bands in the bathroom! It's been a life changing experience for me 🙂

ROCKFORD, Ill. - The Regents Cross Country programs enter into another exciting season as they return nearly every athlete off last year's rosters. With both teams rosters comprised of mainly upperclassmen, first year head coach Morgan Goetschel looks to continue Rockford's assent up the NACC standings.
Rockford brings back its top two male performers off last year's squad in Christian Devant (Winnebago, Ill.) and Joe Werkheiser (Lena, Ill.). Werkheiser finished the season strong at the NACC Championships and NCAA Midwest Regional. He posted a career best at the NACC Championships by taking 35th out of 89 competitors. He then followed that up with a personal best time of 27:48.6 at the NCAA Regional. Devant started and ended the season strong by placing near the top at the Beloit Invitational as well as a good NCAA Regional performance. Devant placed fourth out of forty-one competitors at the Beloit Invitational, and then wrapped up his season by posting a new personal best at the NCAA Regional with a time of 27:22.8.
The remainder of the men's team consists of a pair of returns in Nick Noel (Bellvidere, Ill.) and Cristan Newton (Shvereport, La.) along with newcomer Tyrece Ahrens (Kanakee, Ill.). Newton and Noel both saw their top finishes of the year come at the Beloit Invitational placing 14th and 18th respectfully.
This year's women's team features senior Jamie Buechner (Island Lake, Ill.), junior Lexie Collins (Earlville, Ill.), and sophomore Tracy Wang (Lianyungang, China). Buechner returns as the leading runner for the Regents, with Collins and Wang looking to help bolster the team. Buechner, Collins, and Wang all look to improve upon personal bests, which they each set a season ago.
"I am extremely excited for the Beloit Opener as it will be a great indication of where we are at both individually and as a team," Head Coach Morgan Goetschel stated. "It has been fun getting to know the athletes this summer, and I am looking forward to seeing how we match up against the rest of the schools in the region."
The cross country teams begin their season at the Beloit Opener on Friday, September 1 in Roscoe, Ill. at the Kieselburg Forest Preserve.

Most business owners have owned up to the fact that good web design is important for their business. But when asked why it was important, only a few could give adequate answer. Web Design is not completely about it's aesthetic. It is not enough to just add the bells and whistle to the web design of the website when it does not attract customers and increases sales. Many companies try to compartmentalize the process and hire one web design firm for web design and another firm for completing the marketing work.
Take a Comprehensive Approach
The approach for hiring different people for doing different part of the website is no longer effective. Instead, it is important to take a comprehensive approach. Web design should be effectively deeply rooted in your inbound marketing and branding strategy. If you hire three different agencies for web design, marketing and branding then it will be difficult to make them work in cohesion and also help your company reach towards its conversion goals.
Design Matters, and so does your Content
As a business owner, you'll do yourself a favor by creating a website which will resonate with your target audience. It has been seen in studies conducted, that users consider the aesthetics and the web design elements are top factors when considering if to trust the companies and website. Most users share the same red flags to watch out for including busy layouts, pop-up ads, boring web design, slow page load times, and small print.
Next to the design elements, visitors consider the content as the major factor considered by them. You must have heard countless times that content is king. However you need to deliver consistent content while keeping the attention to the visitors. Doing this through conventional text seems challenging. Adding certain design elements to the website will help them stay on the website and consume the content.
Improve Your Branding Strategy.
Each year, Google adds more weightage to the branding in the search algorithm. Always keep in mind that your website should serve as an extension of your brand. If you have a physical store, consider keeping the branding elements characteristics in sync with the logo, color and font. This gives your business more credibility, which could have a huge impact on increasing sales.
Boosting Conversions
All your traffic generation efforts prove useless if you cannot pull in the traffic and convert them into customers. While it has been the subject of debate for many years, most marketers now agree that web design has a direct correlation with conversion rates. When it comes to web design you need to concentrate on three elements: navigation, call-to-action and color scheme.
Be sure to make your website navigable. Make sure it is easy for customers to reach any page they want. And once they reach the content which they are looking for, make sure there is a call-to-action to convert them into customers. This process requires A/B testing which will tell them if they know the best spots to place the CTAs and what wording is the best. Lastly, the color scheme you use can encourage customers to make a purchase without them realizing it. By simply changing the color of the links you can make sure that there can be more clicks by users, which means more opportunities for closing sales.

The PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY AND COMMITMENT TO QUALITY.
Since 1947, Schumacher Electric Corporation has been leading change and driving performance to exceed its customers' expectations. Engineered patent-pending technologies and award-winning marketing makes Schumacher the brand of choice. Schumacher's legacy is its commitment to quality and exceptional customer service. Schumacher brings experience, innovation and excellence to the next generation of battery maintenance.
Schumacher approached us in 2017 to help them develop a fully self service e-commerce site that would enable their customers to purchase direct as well as from all of their major reseller partners.
In a 6 months end to end development project, we re-architected the entire site, conducted usability studies and surveys, developed the end to end customer experience and extended their existing brand to market to a younger, quality focused audience. We helped Schumacher extend their brand and engagement strategy to email and online marketing campaigns and developed a set of sales tools including a sales portal for their sales teams.
We developed this fully adaptive Ecommerce site on the Drupal open source e-commerce platform.

Once this technology is used in combination with lithographic process, the machine makes use of a technique called planographic, wherein a flat image carrier is employed to imprint the image.

My work is inspired by the mysterious beauty and force of nature, especially flowers, trees, the night sky and the desert. There is an Asian/Southwestern-fusion theme that runs through the work. I attribute this to being born in Honolulu into a military family, spending part of my childhood growing up in Japan and the Philippines, and living in the Southwest for the past five decades. I studied art early in life at The University of Oklahoma and later at The University of Texas at Austin, and in Montreal, Canada. My studio is located in my home in Austin, TX.

Bimblebox 153 Birds art exhibition takes aim at coal mining, highlights environmental issues
Artist Jill Sampson has collaborated with hundreds of people to create an exhibition featuring 153 bird species found within the Bimblebox Nature Refuge in central-west Queensland.
The exhibition, Bimblebox 153 Birds, is named for the number of species known in the refuge at the time, but extra birds found since have been included in the show, now making it 158.
Ms Sampson said she started Bimblebox 153 Birds after her family's farm, west of Kingaroy, was the site of mining exploration.
"I was living on my parents' farm with my own family from 2010 to 2015 and our farm itself had a mining exploration lease over it … many places in Queensland and Australia did and many still do," she said.
"The idea that you could lose the place that you've spent your life living on and building an agricultural business on … or even just looking at the future and passing that onto your children, that really frustrated me.

Ugh, February. By this point, isn't everyone just over it? Like, REALLY OVER IT? It's the time of year many of us are at the end of our ropes, having run out of fresh ideas for inexpensive things to do with kids when the playground isn't really a great option because it's wet or blustery or snowy or freezing. (Which is almost always.)
So here, a February lifeline in the form of our annual (updated) list of fun things to do that don't require a) much planning b) spending a fortune or c) freezing your face off.
Ikea. The South Philly mega-store boasts a supervised play space for kids who are between 37 and 52 inches tall (and potty-trained) — and it comes with the bonus of letting you get a little uninterrupted "me-time" with the Malm and Fjellse. That said, if you're not cool with the play space, just wandering the store and letting the kids play in the display rooms works, too. (Note: the playspace inside the Chick-fil-A, which is located in the same shopping center as Ikea, is also clean and usually not over-crowded.) The Ikea in Conshy has a similar play space, as well!
The Big Museums. PAFA, the PMA and the Barnes all offer free (or pay-what-you-wish, in the case of the PMA) admission and/or activities. In fact, brand new, beginning in March, the Barnes is making their popular Free First Sunday program completely family-focused, with programs for all ages spaced throughout the day — so programs for littles from 10 a.m. to noon, then activities for older ones in the afternoon. (Read: That means no more having to show up at 9 a.m. and cross your fingers hoping you get a ticket — tickets are simply reserved throughout the days for families, and they'll even have separate lines just for families. Cool, no?) Also! PAFA also offers free Sunday art workshops and activities — story drawing, bead work, painting, facepainting and beyond — geared toward families, from 2 to 4 p.m.. And kids under 12 are free at the PMA, and there are tons of family-friendly, kid-focused hands-on programs and activities throughout the year.
Fireman's Hall. The great little Old City museum housed in a former firehouse features historic tools, uniforms, a bunch of carriages and trucks to ogle, and a fun interactive area for kids upstairs. Kids can even try on real fireman boots and gear — it's adorable. (Bonus: It's staffed by current and past firefighters, which is cool.) Admission is free, though donations are suggested. One tip here: Hours can be erratic, so you might want to call before you go. (Bonus: It's a few short blocks from Franklin Fountain, where nothing is free, but you can spring for a cone or hot cider for about $5.)
Please Touch Museum. On the first Wednesday of each month, the admission here is just $2 — a MEGA-deal, compared to the normal admission of $19.
The Kimmel. One of the great benefits of city living: Culture at our fingertips. And on a regular basis, the Kimmel offers us a taste of FREE culture via their "Grow Up Great" programming — an interactive program teaching children about jazz and musical theater — and the next one, held in the Kimmel's Commonwealth Plaza, is March 10. (Check here to keep an eye out for more.) Additionally, the Kimmel hosts monthly organ demonstrations as part of the free tour of the place. It's very cool — and it's held on a Saturday!
Smith Memorial Playground. Kids won't even miss the potato-sack slide (which is closed until April) after they realize they have the run of this three-floor playhouse. Make sure to head downstairs, where there are trikes and scooters to ride around a track and little "town", and also to the art rooms, where staffers lead activities. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.
Storytimes. Not only do storytimes make for great, no-fuss outings, but there are SO MANY great free ones around town. Some of our favorites: Momo's Treehouse has them Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m.; Barnes and Noble in Rittenhouse has them Wednesdays at 4 p.m. and sometimes Saturdays at 11 a.m.; Smith Playground has them at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesdays for kids 5 and under; and Head House Books has storytimes for littles Fridays at 11:15 a.m; and And of course, the Free Library branches offer a huge array of storytimes, held on different days, at different times, with different themes, geared toward different kids — truly a city treasure. Many, many suburban libraries offer storytimes, as well. (Note: For any and all storytimes, days and times can change, so call before you go. Please!)
Libraries. Beyond just storytimes, Philly's Free Libraries are constantly making room for kids to be kids by opening play areas with toys, tiny tables, beanbag chairs, books to flip through, puzzles and computers with pre-loaded games. Almost all branches in the city offer quality programming in addition to their storytimes — things like Lego clubs, preschool yoga, cooking classes, knitting clubs and family playgroups, some of which are held on the weekends. We especially adore the children's area at the Santore Branch in Bella Vista and the programming at the Parkway location and Walnut Street West.
Wagner Free Institute of Science. "Free" is such an important part of this historic museum's mission that it's in the name. Almost untouched from when it was founded in the 19th century, this quirky and odd little jewel near Temple U. has a ton for your kids to gawk at, from animal fossils to weird things in jars.
The Malls. Ash is the queen of hitting the mall on a crummy day. (She is, after all, from New Jersey. : ) But seriously, it's a great way to kill an hour or two, and the King of Prussia Mall offers a couple sizable play zones, which have tunnels, slides and foam structures built for climbing, plus interactive toys that encourage kids to pretend to be doctors and nurses (likely because CHOP is a sponsor). You'll find one at the Court (near the food court) and one in the Plaza (outside of J.C. Penny). Bonus: There's now a Shake Shack at KOP Mall, as well! At the Moorestown Mall, you can hit up the garden-themed play area (kids under three will have the most fun here). It's just outside of Macy's.
STAMP Pass. More parents should know about this amazing program. Philly teens aged 14 to 19 can visit most of the city's best institutions (The Barnes, Franklin Institute, PMA, the Zoo, Constitution Center, and more) for absolutely free, with occasional time/date restrictions, with one of these passes. You just need to request one online.
Sister Cities Park. Because some days are gross, but not unbearable. And while all parks are kid-friendly, Sister Cities on the Parkway offers a little more than the usual swings and slides: Kids happily climb on the rocks and the "mountain" that surrounds the boat pond area (still drained for the winter) and enjoy the foam building blocks at the Imagination Playground. At the park's Logan Square Cafe, you can warm up (or use the restroom, if need be) and grab a hot cocoa or other snacks for a few bucks.
Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, et. al. This is Philly, yo. Very little ones probably won't do so hot on the FREE Independence Hall tours (you can sign up for a time slot in person at the Visitor Center, or online) or waiting to see the Liberty Bell, but probably anyone over the age of 7 will be a reasonable companion for a few hours of American history. In that one little stretch, you've got a bunch of free stuff: Independence Hall. Carpenters' Hall, the Liberty Bell, Congress Hall, the Declaration House, Ben Franklin's grave, the U.S. Mint, and all the horse-drawn carriages you care to watch amble by. (PS. The self-guided tour of the Betsy Ross House is only $5 for grown-ups and $4 for kids.)

James' Tutor Profile
Feedback for this tutor
Lesson requests can be made after Sep 26, 2019 08:00.
Hi Students,
My name is James and I am originally from Godalming in the South of England. If you have seen the Christmas film 'The Holiday', with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law, then you would have seen my small town in this movie.
I am currently living in Madrid, Spain. Previously, I was living in Paris (France) Warsaw(Poland) Barcelona (Spain) as well as in Rome (Italy).
I am a friendly, reliable and patient teacher who loves to meet new students and learn about their needs. I have experience teaching all ages and language levels. I first started teaching English as a qualified teacher in Sardinia (Italy) in early 2010 and then in Rome before moving to Valencia (Spain). Students of all language levels often acknowledge that they find I am very easy to understand and follow in conversations. I am a fully qualified teacher, having obtained the TESOL level 5 certificate in 2009.
I have a great passion for movies and in 2009 I graduated with a bachelor's degree in documentary film and television at the Newport Film school in Wales. Here is a link to one of the films I made on the course, it is about a street magician named Angelo, who is from Cyprus.
One of my greatest passions is travelling. I have been fortunate enough to travel all over North and South America as well as to Indonesia, Thailand Singapore and Malaysia. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to go to Japan yet, but I am sure one day this dream will become true.
I also enjoy watching and playing sports. My favourite sports are football and tennis but I enjoy most sports. However my interests are very varied and I can talk about most topics including politics, history, art, literature and any topical issues.
I can´t wait to meet my new students!

it IS easy to build on tupelo
With agile private and public development flexibility, no smart contracts needed, and a growing list of familiar language libraries, developers can start building immediately and test against a local install or our live TestNet.
Tupelo has an advantage over other public DLT/blockchain solutions because it works on individual Chain Trees rather than one central global chain. This means that signers veifying transactions are performing a much simpler task.
As a result, Tupelo is:
Tupelo achieves consensus in a fraction of the time and with many fewer exceptions. This is possible because Tupelo only needs to consider transactions in the context of a specific entity and its most recent history instead of every transaction for every entity or object ever recorded.
Because of that smaller target, it can achieve the same value at a lower cost. The unique structure also means that the type of data maintained about each entity or object is much more flexible. It can be larger and more complex because all signers do not need to store the full history of all of that data. This keeps resource costs lower than with other solutions.
Solving for speed and cost of transactions means that organizations can scale much more successfully on Tupelo than existing DLT solutions. The underlying data-structure is inherently "sharded" into information about each individual entity providing the ability to encompass a nearly boundless set of objects.
With Tupelo, application developers have the flexibility to efficiently model their domain and use the Tupelo consensus network for fast, verifiable confirmation of their data. This is all accomplished using languages and tools developers already know providing the flexibility to work how you want.
Using our straightforward API, rather than a complex new construct like a smart contract, means you can get started quickly with the resources you already have.
Build locally and run your own small set of signers or join the TestNet and discover for yourself how easy the platform is to use.
Try out the platform with a local build and be creating your first Chain Tree in under 10 minutes:
Ready to put your project onto our official TestNet? Contact us for the required keys and you can switch from local to our remote TestNet in no time.

After changing the column name in Power BI Desktop you can get an error:
The name "atribute name"is already used for a column on table "table name". Choose a different name.
It seems that you can get this error when you are chaning the column name and you are chaning only the characters case, for example when you are changing the column "My Atribute" to "my atribute". It looks like this is just a bug and i think it will be solve in nexts releases.
As far as i know the only one solution to solve this error is to change the column name to the temporary name, and the set up the name according to our requirements. For example we can change the "My Atribute" to "_ My Atribute" first and then to "my atribute".

Thursday�s American League results
Angels 3, Tigers 1 � Albert Pujols hit a tiebreaking double in the 10th inning and the visiting Los Angeles Angels recorded their ninth consecutive victory over the Tigers. Mike Trout had four hits and was in the middle of the decisive rally for the Angels, who completed a three-game sweep. Jered Weaver pitched seven strong innings in a tight duel with Detroit right-hander Doug Fister. J.B. Shuck singled leading off the 10th against Phil Coke (0-5) and went to third on Trout�s single to right field. Pujols sent a drive to deep center, where Austin Jackson tried to make a difficult catch with his back to home plate. The ball tipped off the webbing of Jackson�s glove, hit the wall and trickled to the ground. After an intentional walk to Howie Kendrick loaded the bases, Josh Hamilton made it 3-1 with a sacrifice fly. Kevin Jepsen (1-2) worked a scoreless ninth for the win and Ernesto Frieri got three outs for his 19th save in 21 chances. Neither team could do much against the starters. Weaver, making his sixth start since returning from a broken left (non-throwing) elbow, gave up one run and four hits. He walked two and struck out six. After the Tigers scored in the second, Weaver allowed only a hit and a walk in his final five innings. He retired his last 13 batters. Fister yielded one run and seven hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out four.
Rangers 2, Yankees 0 � Derek Holland tamed a team that often tagged him, pitching a two-hitter as the Texas Rangers finished up an impressive road trip by beating the New York Yankees. Jurickson Profar homered and scored twice, while fellow rookie Engel Beltre got two hits in his first big-league start. Holland (6-4) threw his sixth career shutout � it was the lowest-hit shutout by a visiting Rangers pitcher against the Yankees since the franchise moved from Washington for the 1972 season.
Red Sox 7, Blue Jays 4 � Jon Lester pitched into the eighth before leaving with an apparent injury, and Dustin Pedroia homered in a seven-run second to power the host Boston Red Sox. The left-hander retired 10 in a row to begin the game and didn�t allow a hit until the fifth. He came out after giving up consecutive singles to start the eighth.
Twins 3, Royals 1 � Samuel Deduno allowed one run on five hits over seven innings and Justin Morneau had a key run-scoring double in a two-run fourth to lift the host Minnesota Twins.
Thursday�s National League results
Cubs 7, Brewers 2 � Matt Garza struck out 10 in seven solid innings and Dioner Navarro hit a three-run homer to lift the visiting Chicago Cubs. Garza (3-1) had his third consecutive strong outing. The right-hander allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while throwing 101 pitches. Garza, who can become a free agent after the season, is expected to be one of the top pitchers available on the trade market. The Cubs broke the game open with four runs in the third, capped by Navarro�s seventh homer.
Diamondbacks 3, Nationals 2 � Didi Gregorius drove in the go-ahead run with a bunt single in the 11th inning and Aaron Hill homered as the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks won to salvage the finale of a three-game series. Miguel Montero led off the 11th with a ground-rule double off Craig Stammen (4-3). A.J. Pollock ran for Montero and Cody Ross bunted him to third. After Jason Kubel drew a walk, Gregorius bunted down the first-base line. Pollock ran on contact and scored the go-ahead run and Gregorius beat the throw at first.
Mets 3, Rockies 2 � Marlon Byrd hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and threw out a runner from right field in the ninth to lead the visiting New York Mets. With the Mets trailing 2-1, Byrd drove a fastball from reliever Matt Belisle (4-5) into the seats in left-center. That was about the extent of the offense for New York with David Wright receiving a rest. Starting pitcher Jeremy Hefner drove in the Mets� other run on a groundout.

Simple test developed for fastest growing cancer
Researchers in Cambridge have developed a simple test for cancer of the oesophagus, the form of the disease that is increasing fastest in the western world.
The new technique, developed with funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC) uses a spongy pill attached to a piece of string to detect early indicators of cancer.
Patients simply swallow the pill, which is then pulled back out, gently scraping cells from the gut. The procedure is said to be almost completely painless.
Diagnosing cancer of the oesophagus currently relies on fibre-optic cameras to look for signs of the disease in a patient's gullet.
Due to the risk and expense of the procedure, it is not often used and many cancers of the oesophagus are not detected at an early stage.
"If we were able to diagnose it at that stage we may be able to cure them - indeed if we get people at the very early stages the cure rate is 80 per cent," researcher Dr Rebecca Fitzgerald of the MRC Centre told the BBC.
Using the new method, patient Alan Bridge was one of the first to undergo the procedure.
"I didn't even feel it," he said. "They told me that it would hurt a bit when it was pulled out, but I didn't even know it was there."
The technique will not be ready for widespread use for a number of years.
The incidence of cancer of the oesophagus has more than tripled over the last twenty years.
Cancer Research UK's Professor Ron Lackey, who also works at the Unit in Cambridge, said it was a trend that is likely to continue.
"The thing that concerns us in particular at present is that its increased extraordinarily rapidly in the western world in the western world.
"It is the fastest growing cancer at present, and its not clear why.
"One possibility is that acid indigestion caused by high pressure lifestyles is a factor."

LOOKING remarkably like a young Chrissie Hynde, indie pin-up Charlotte Hatherley has left Ash permanently to promote her second solo album The Deep Blue.
And kicking off with new single I Want You To Know, it's clear straight away that she's left the sound of her former bandmates behind, too.
In this case, leaving a band because of "musical differences" might actually be the truth and not just a euphemism for hating your bandmates.
Her own songs owe more to quirky pop bands like Squeeze or The Cardigans than the 100mph punk of Ash - although the rocker in her couldn't resist scuffing the shine off some of the softer songs, and her sugary sweet vocals, with a wall of guitar noise and feedback.
The highlights of the set were still probably songs like Summer, Kim Wilde and Bastardo from her first album.
There was also a tendency to throw just a few too many ideas and tempo changes into every song.
But some of the newer material, considering the crowd hadn't heard it before, showed that she knows how to write choruses just as catchy as Ash can.
Charlotte ended the night with a cover of XTC's This is Pop which was as short, snappy and fun as the 50-minute gig itself.

Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia was this week appointed to the new board of directors of Ethiopian Airlines. The national flag carrier is 100% owned by the government of Ethiopia.
At a farewell dinner party organized for the outgoing CEO of Ethiopian Airlines, Girma Wake, at the Addis Ababa Hilton Hotel on Thursday December 30, it was announced that Addisu Legesse, former minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and deputy prime minister, is appointed as the new chairman of the board of directors of Ethiopian Airlines.
Legesse replaced Syoum Mesfin, former minister of Foreign Affaires, who served as board chairman of Ethiopian for the past ten years. Mesfin is now appointed as Ethiopian ambassador to China.
Nine other new board members were appointed. Sinkenesk Ejigu, minister of mines, is among the new board members. There were seven members in the former board-Syoum Mesfin, Getachew Mengiste, state minister of the Ministry of Transport, Dr Addisalem Balema, director of the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange Authority, Dr Hashim Toffik, Col.Simret Medaneh, the first Ethiopian CEO, Captain Mohammed Ahmed, the renowned Ethiopian CEO (known for challenging the Dergue officials in defence of the independence of the management of the airline) and Gebremedin Gebrehiwot.
Legesse handed over medals and certificates to the outgoing board members and Girma Wake, CEO of Ethiopian and handed over his post to Tewolde Gebremariam on January 1.
"I and the new board members understand that this is a crucial moment for Ethiopian," Legesse told the new management led by Gebremariam and employees of the airline who came to see off Wake, the buoyant CEO. "And I assure you that we will provide you with the required support," Legesse added.
Mesfin, who repeatedly thanked Wake and the management of Ethiopian as a whole, said that Ethiopian will have a long stretch plans to achieve. However, he expressed his strong belief that the airline will be more successful. "Ethiopian will be a shining star," he said.
Gebremaraim, the incoming CEO, is also optimistic about the future of the airline. However, he mentioned several challenges that may affect the growth plan of the airline. External shock, global economic crisis, fuel price hike, stiff competition from the Gulf carriers, brain drain, stringent environmental regulations and protection of skies are some of the challenges which Gebremariam listed.
Gebremariam seems scared of the competition coming from the large Middle Eastern carriers that have been expanding into Africa in recent years. Gulf carriers such as Emirates and Qatar are opening more routes in Africa and increasing their flight frequencies. "They are subsidized by their petro dollar resources," Gebremariam said. However, these airlines, which Gebremariam did not mention by name refute the allegations saying that they are not subsidised by their governments.
The out going CEO,Girma Wake, has expressed his confidence on Gebremariam and his new management team with an average age of 40 years. Gebremariam said the management team has 421 years of airline management experience.
Ethiopian recently began to implement a 15 year growth plan that will transform the airline into a huge aviation group that will have US$10 billion revenue.

Elite Client Matt Chapman get the call!/
On 6/14 at 4:31pm Elite's MLB hitting consultant Joe DeMarco missed a call, after checking his phone he realized the call was from Chappy. As the return call followed a proud moment occurred for the 41 year old DeMarco, for the 2nd time in his career a home grown player was promoted to the Big Leagues. Chapman joins the Padres Austin Hedges as MLB clients that use the consulting services for professional hitters. "Good news Joe" was how the conversation began and he knew it was time for Chappy to get the call to join the big club in Oakland. The advice from the mentor was simple, "just do what you do and enjoy the moment." Matt grew up in orange county attending El Toro before playing for the Titans at Cal State Fullerton, he was a 1st round pick by the A's in 2014.
