A football game was on in the background and the announcer said that one player's brother had just died that morning in a car crash. The player was a wreck, crying on the bench between plays, but then went on to score a touchdown. I remember thinking two things: Why is this guy at work, and I don't think I could ever focus that much while dealing with something so tragic.
But the more I thought about it, we do this type of grief compartmentalization in everyday life too, don't we? I have friends who have been downsized who have to go into work and train their replacement in India while managing to not go postal. Other friends are dealing with incredibly stressful family situations, yet pretend nothing is wrong in front of their kids. And recently heard my friend's 23 year old daughter just got diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, and he still has to woo and entertain new clients.
There are times when feelings have to be put on the back burner by necessity, but at some point they also have to be dealt with, lest they bubble up at inappropriate moments or self destructive ways. I'm guilty of both. When my daughter was 18 months old I had a budget presentation to give right around the same time my daughter had to get radiation testing at Children's Hospital. Something triggered a thought about her during the meeting and I fled, just breaking down and sobbing in the ladies room. (She's fine, by the way.)
Living in denial did not work so well for me either. Emotional eating was my first choice of self soothing. When my dad got diagnosed with cancer I was size 3. By the time I was caring for him in hospice I was size 9. I felt like I always had to be upbeat around him and my mom. I had no control over the situation and did not allow myself time to deal with it, and my health suffered as a result.
I think for as much as we want to put on a brave front for the people around us, another part of the story is that we don't want to experience those awful emotions. Anger, despair and hopelessness are never fun to experience and we might be frightened by the sheer intensity of our feelings. But it's important to allow yourself time to release those sentiments.
Here are some things I've used in my own life to relieve stress that might work for you too:
7 Ways to Relieve Stress
- Talk to a friend. It helps to unburden yourself. Your friend, being removed from the situation, might offer a different perspective on your problems.
- Cry. It's good to get that emotional release out. If you want to cry but can't, watch a movie. Sometimes funny movies are good because you laugh so hard you cry.
- Run sprints. It burns off excess energy, releases endorphins, and helps you sleep better.
- Pray.
- Write in a journal. Sometimes it helps to get all your thoughts and fears out of your head and down on paper.
- If the problem seems overwhelming, you might want to talk to a therapist.
- Help someone. It takes your mind off your current situation and feels empowering to make someone's day brighter.
If you are going through a tough time right now, I'm sending you a virtual hug. Take whatever time you need to grieve. It's ok to feel bad sometimes.
How about you? What things have you done to relieve stress?

Kartra has actually been mentioned as being the unbelievably easy way to develop your online business…
Without hiring a team of designers, web designers, or systems integrators.
I'm getting head of myself however.
Thank you for revealing interest in Creating Contests with Kartra…
However I am currently working on getting a video for that particular section of the post.
Sorry about that.
However I still recommend that you continue reading as I'll be covering most of the popular Kartra questions.
Let's begin.
Creating Contests with Kartra
I will update this area when I finish a video.
Make certain to keep reading on as there's a likelihood I answered your concern.
Kartra Review – What Is It?
This software is the all in one business platform that allows you to grow your company…
Just by providing you essentially every marketing and sales tool that you'd need.
That would be quite a lot of features right?
So let's have a look at precisely what Kartra has to offer…
And more significantly how they can help you develop and grow your online or offline company.
Kartra Includes
So I won't be covering each and every single function (since there's too many to cover).
Now the first function I wish to address is something that you can consider more of a benefit…
As it comes along with each and every rates plan.
And even better?
This distinct little perk was produced by among the most famous Internet Marketers.
Done For You Campaigns
In case the phrase done-for-you wasn't enough music to your ears…
You're going to be happy to recognize simply how rapidly you can get up and running with these.
Created by none besides the Godfather of Web Marketing:
Frank Kern.
You can launch these famous campaigns with the simple push of a button.
Possibly a few pushes of a button 😛
These done-for-you-campaigns come along with:
- Emails.
- Landing pages.
- Squeeze pages.
- Squeeze pages.
- Thank you pages.
- Professionally done sales copy.
- And a bit more to accompany those.
In reality.
Here is what you'd need to do prior to you launch them.
- Just place your own product names…
- Include your images and your pricing also…
- And then you are pretty much all set to release.
Simpleness and speed are two words that come to mind for these done-for-you projects…
And it's also good to have something like this to assist you out.
Let's move onto the next function.
Funnels And Projects
Comparable to most of the competitors…
It's probably obvious that you can produce funnels with this software application.
But what lots of people don't recognize is that Kartra features a great little automation area.
This drag and drop campaign sequence structure enables you to put your sales on auto-pilot…
All while having the ability to do some great automation techniques such as:
- Sending out an e-mail or SMS.
- Adding or eliminating tags tags.
- Subscribing or unsubscribing to lists.
- Adding or getting rid of from one series to another.
- Waiting a specific amount of time in between any of the steps.
And much more when it concerns automation.
Here is a terrific video that rapidly strolls you through the campaigns overview.
Next up.
High Converting Pages
Among the coolest part about having the ability to create these types of pages?
Is that it comes with a drag and drop editor built into it.
While this may not appear like a huge deal initially…
Using this tool is another excellent way for you to get up and running as quickly as possible.
Here is a video that reveals you the editor in action (along with making use of custom templates).
And don't worry…
As you can produce a variety of different kinds of pages when it pertains to Kartra.
- Sales pages.
- Video pages.
- Squeeze pages.
- Thank you pages.
- Subscription pages.
- List building pages.
- Safe checkout pages.
- And anything else that you can think about.
You're practically covered when it comes down to what you can rapidly develop.
And if you're going to be gathering leads…
Then you're also going to wish to followup with them and send emails.
Send Out Sensational E-mails
You can definitely send out follow up e-mails…
And you can definitely send out broadcast emails too.
But what makes their email autoresponder so unique?
Is that it has quite a few great parts which include:
- Testimonials.
- Hero areas.
- Material blocks.
- Video thumbnails.
- And even countdown timers.
Remember you'd have to invest $27 a month (or more)…
Simply to be able to add countdown timers to all of your emails.
So it's nice to be able to have that function helpful.
The analytics are quite outstanding too.
You can get more info about that in the fast video down below.
Now here's a function that has a variety of perks and benefits hidden within it.
Kartra Video
You pretty much whatever when it comes to video and personalizations.
But let me begin by saying this:
Kartra comes with their very own video hosting.
Which suggests you won't need to invest an additional $200+ a year for that.
But the rabbit hole goes much deeper (so to speak).
Here's some of the cool techniques that you can do with Kartra videos (aside from hosting):
- Show a deal right in the video.
- Send an audience to a particular page after they complete watching.
- Ask for the audience to enter their email so that you can develop your list.
And what's really cool is that you can integrate videos with automations.
So if somebody only watched a few minutes of your video?
You can instantly send them an email to get them to see the vital parts.
And you can even tag leads for anyone who took a particular action.
Kartra videos definitely pack a punch when it comes to functions…
That's for sure.
Next up is a very unique Kartra feature.
Kartra Helpdesk
This is definitely something that will be advantageous for you…
Particularly if you're going to be offering your really own items, offers, or services.
Whether you want to host your helpdesk in Kartra or on your own site…
The truth of the matter is this:
- You won't have to utilize a basic e-mail account for assistance.
- And you won't need to go out there and invest in a separate assistance area.
Everything will be under one roof for you.
Here's a couple of more fantastic functions of the helpdesk:
- You are just one click far from accessing your helpdesk portal.
- Their ticketing system permits you to appoint and resolves tickets as required.
- You have the capability to resort to live chat in case you require to solve something quickly.
- And there's likewise personnel data so that you can see who is succeeding and who isn't.
It's yet another great little function…
And let me include that few other software's consist of something like this.
Here is a fast video in case you'd like a summary of it:
So that's just a portion of the great features that occur with this software.
Remember that there is also:
- Kartra analytics.
- Kartra eCommerce.
- Kartra subscription sites.
- Kartra affiliate management.
And so far more.
If you wish to see each and every feature that Kartra offers…
Now allow me to resolve some of the most often asked concerns.
Software application constantly includes questions.
So here are some of the most popular ones I tend to see asked (I'll be contributing to these).
Is Kartra A CRM?
So CRM stands for:
- Client relationship management.
And yes you can certainly consider Kartra a CRM.
Here is a video when it comes to this specific subject for you.
Next concern.
What Is Kartra Academy?
The Kartra Academy is a nice little bonus offer for all of the brand-new Kartra customers…
That includes material from both Andy Jenkins and Frank Kern.
Can You Run AB Testing?
After you get up and running with Kartra…
Here is how you get to the split test area.
- Click on the My Pages area on the left.
- And after that look at the top of the page where it says Split tests.
- Simply click on Split tests and then follow the directions from there.
And here is a video in case you require a walk through:
Next up.
Exists A Kartra Free Trial?
Kartra does in truth have a trial offer however it isn't free.
Rather rather?
It is a massive $1 😛
And of course…
There are multiple strategies that each have different expenses and advantages.
Let's touch upon those today.
Just how much Is It?
Now Kartra features six total strategies.
Here's what they are.
- The Beginner strategy which is $89 each month.
- The Silver strategy which is $149 each month (and most popular).
- The Gold plan which is $299 per month.
- The Platinum plan which is $499 per month.
- The Diamond plan which is $699 per month.
- And after that you have the Business plan which you would require to call them for.
Aside from that?
Every plan comes with a 2 week $1 trial so you can always test them out.
Now onto the million dollar concern.
Is Kartra Worth It?
With numerous landing page and funnel home builders out there…
In some cases it can be challenging to find out if a tool is ideal for you…
However that's not the case here.
As Kartra is definitely worth offering a try.
So here is precisely what you need to do:
Or you can click on the banner down below to get taken to the exact same web page.
It's as easy as that.
Closing Kartra Evaluation Words
First things initially.

It's safe to state that if you need a tool to keep up online?
Kartra is a terrific choice.

In fact.

You'd think we somehow copy paste these race-related stories off of each other as foreigners who've been to China but you would be wrong.
Every foreigner interacted closely with in China with an exception of none and more so black people have at least one of these stories. This is the second post on my 'The China Experience' series. Look back with me through 2011-2014 when I was studying in China. Enjoy….
Do you remember the first time you discovered you were black? I do. I was teaching at a kindergarten in Beijing for a few months in 2012. Yes, I have imparted knowledge in young minds and influenced the great minds of tomorrow. You may be inclined to applaud me right about now, go on, I would applaud me too. So I walk into my first class and the kids' eyes couldn't be any more widely open in shock. One kid was totally freaked out and wouldn't sit anywhere near me. My glass ego decided to try to convince me that they were reacting that way because I was new; a stranger. That argument flew out of the window when during the break and many breaks there after I would be bombarded with questions about my skin color from both the kids and the Chinese teachers alike.
"Why are you so black?"
"Were you born like this?"
"Why am I white and you are black?"
"Why is your hair weird?"
When the questions were from the kids, it was ok, they were young, not much exposure; it was forgivable that they asked me the same thing every single day. I decided to have a little fun with my answers;
"I eat too much chocolate."
"I stayed in the sun too long that one time"
"I'm not exactly black like the color black, more like a dark brown"
"You are not white, more like yellow so maybe explain that to me first?" (That last one shocked many of the kids, one actually never spoke to me again; oops). In my defense, I never said I was good at teaching kindergarten did I?
One kid kept scratching my hand every day, almost peeling off my skin and never said a word. After hearing a few other stories from friends who have had similar experiences, I think I can now conclude the poor boy was probably trying to see if the color comes off.
I started teaching during winter so I was somewhat covered up but come spring/summer, the most bizarre thing happened. I was preparing the kids for class after nap time as usual, then suddenly I feel a tug on my top, next thing you know, the same kid is lifting up my top, and within seconds am surrounded by five screaming kids all saying in Chinese; 'Oh my goodness! She's black all over!'
If they weren't so adorable, I would have had so much to say about that.
Months later, I had to learn to brush it off and try not to get shocked or offended. I may not have seen it all but I think I've heard it all. Here are some of my favorites:
"Was your hair like that when you were born or did you change it at some point" (referring to my locs)
"Do you wash your hair, like ever?"
"Can I touch it?" – This is only when you meet the polite ones; otherwise you'd just feel a tug on your hair and have to fill in the blanks yourself.
"Oh you come from Kenya? So many wild animals running around right?"
"Oh you are Kenyan? So you can run really fast right?"
"We would like to go to the slum area please, we want to see the real Kenya" – This one was a gem because it followed me all the way home. I had a group of professors (you know, those considered well-read and knowledgeable, some even well-travelled) visit Kenya from China and I was sort of their tour guide and translator and I kid you not, this was something they actually said.
"Oh my your name is so hard to pronounce" (Yeah, you put yourself in my shoes and try saying Xiao Yuan Liang 10 times fast and then tell me whose name is harder)
I'm all for curiosity, that's how all the great inventions came to be but there is a form of curiosity that just gets on my nerves. I had never touched non-afro kinky hair before going to China yet you didn't see me going up to random Caucasian/Asian strangers visiting Kenya and asking to touch their hair or worse still pointing a camera in their face and clicking away and not even being kind enough to turn off the flash.
But I guess as a foreigner in any country across the globe may run into such occurrences so China isn't the exception; or is it?
I'd love to hear your story.

|Meet Our 2019 Artists
|Alita Abruzzese—Alita's artwork is mostly representational, however, her intent is not to only copy what she sees. She tries to capture the mood in each scene. Alita's favorite subjects are nature and people. As an art teacher in the Methacton School District for 23 years, she not only taught the children, but learned from them.

Liam's photos capture aspects of nature or emulate the characteristics of abstract paintings.
|Carl & Linda Horner—Carl and Linda's interest in art is mainly derived from observing the wonder of nature and people in the world around them. Contributors to this never ending and always growing pursuit are books, classes, birding, gardening, travel to 28 countries, Berks Art Alliance and many encouraging artistic friends. Carl's focus is on wood and photography. Acrylic and watercolor are Linda's choices of media at the moment and she paints many of her subjects from Carl's photos.
|Gale Horner—Gail has loved to draw and paint since being a small child. She majored in fine arts in Montclair State College and Long Beach City College.

|Dennis Laub—Dennis is an acrylic painter from the New Holland area. The unexpected joy of painting has found its way into his life. It has changed his thinking and seeing, producing a new way to explore the world around him.
|Susan Moore - Susan has been a Hobby Potter for 28 years. Her children's art teacher involved the students in pottery and extended her interest and motivation to her. That was in 1973. In 1982 Susan took classes at Tyler School of Art and was introduced to wheel throwing, low fire colorful clay and Raku.

|rudy Moore—Trudy is a self taught artist whose watercolors and acrylics appear in businesses and homes across eight states. Her landscapes, seascapes, and floral themes are popular, but her portrayals of birds have earned her the title, "The Bird Lady." Trudy has been the Featured Artist twice at the Tri County Art Show and she has won several awards at other local art shows. She has started to venture into the abstract and one of her acrylic pourings won second place at the Millar Center. In addition to her painting, Trudy is also the co-author and illustrator of the children's book, "Kelly Kapers."
|Jill Moyer— Jill has been making pottery for the past eleven years. She has studied at Chester Springs and at the GoogleWorks.
|Beverly Nuzzo—Beverly's yard is spectacular, that's why she leans toward botanical photography. Her husband was a great teacher in capturing the beauty of a plant or flower. Beverly's greatest treasure is her great grand daughters. She also repairs antique dolls. "Life is wonderful."
|Joni Peters—Joni works with a variety of media—oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and alcohol inks. She likes to convey emotion in her work with vivid colors, bold expression, or subtle texture, sometimes injecting a touch of humor. Joni currently resides in Pottstown and accepts commissioned work.
|Ellie Pfautz—Ellie holds a B.A. from Penn State in Graphic Design. Retired from a career as a graphic designer, she is now pursuing "real art". Ellie enjoys working in pastels and acrylics. She studies, exhibits, wins awards and is in many private collections.
|Karen Powell—Karen is an award-winning artist who has been painting since she was a child. Her impressionist oil paintings cover many subjects, but her love of the outdoors shows in most of her paintings. For 18 years Karen studied with professional artists in Denver, CO and returned to this area in 1998 where her murals business took off. Powell Studios murals can be seen in many schools, restaurants, and homes. Recently she returned to her true passion of oil painting.
|Lisa Prinzo—Lisa's most recent work has been in oils, but she enjoys watercolor and pastel as well. In all her work she tries to capture the subtleties of the subject matter, paying close attention to contrast. Lisa is a board member of Healing Art Works, a nonprofit organization which places art in patient spaces in order to promote healing.
|Jay Ressler—Jay explores boundaries—boundaries between consciousness and unconscious, between reality and imagination, between certainty and skepticism." Many of his photographs are composites based on his original captures put together in multiple layers to produce stunningly original, interleaved images. Jay extends his multi-layered approach to encaustic mixed media creations. He cooks his own recipes off beeswax and damar resin to produce an exquisite patina when combined with photographs.
|Martha Ressler—Martha sees her quilts as impressions of place—real or imagined. She likes to include items discarded by humans as a kind of archeological thumbprint. An object discarded or lost might merge with pages of timeworn books or sheet music, or swatches of rescued embroidery, linens or clothing. Along with "found images" and fabrics, they are reborn in a stitched story about human imprints on the earth, evidence of new and old secrets there to be discovered or imagined. Martha is a Juried Artist Member of Studio Art Quilt Associates and her main method of construction is called "raw edge applique."
|Gail Savage—Gail has been painting and drawing for her whole life. She has been learning by close observation of the birds and animals that share her woodland home in the heart of the Blue Mountains. "I am an artist who spends a lot of time in the woods. I poke around. I turn things over, but mostly I just observe. No matter what chaos is going on in the human world, life goes on in the woods, busy, quiet, and mostly unnoticed. Painting the birds and small animals that I love allows me to study the miracle that is nature, and if a viewer feels that kinship I have done my job. There is no hidden meaning in my art. I love my subjects and all I ask is that you see what I see … delight in the wonders in nature … and be charmed by the gentle resident of Savage Woods. Visit gailsavagepaintedfeathers.com, and Facebook page, Gail Savage Nature Art.
|Susan Styer—Susan is a contemporary fine artist painting abstracts, landscapes, animals and still life. She paints directly, spontaneously and intuitively, responding to her rural surrounding in Northern Chester County. Currently she can be seen outside, painting "en plein air", directly from life the beautiful rural area that she loves.

July 2009
I recently made a fundamental error; actually, made one such blunder all on my own and participated in committing another, both in the space of a few short days. As one of my favourite literary characters—Harriet Vane—learns in the book Gaudy Night, fundamental errors are the result of not paying attention.
I wasn't really paying attention when I said yes to this particular commitment. I felt strongly that the event should happen, but I wasn't willing to take the time and energy to think it all through, to see the best way to do it. I wanted other people to pick up the slack. Well, they did. But not the way I wanted. And I ended up disappointed, feeling like I'd been involved in something uncomfortable and not necessarily in keeping with my values. I am sure that good resulted from the occasion; I am also sure that some people whose opinion I respect were put off. In retrospect—ah, the vision of hindsight is spectacular!—if I'd paid attention to what my gut was telling me from the beginning, I would have known this, would have done things differently.
In the other fundamental error, George and I jumped the gun on the carport/guest house building project. Having been assured that our existing septic field was more than adequate to handle a small one-bedroom unit that I'd taken to calling the hermitage, we didn't wait for the building inspector's approval before we started excavation. Well, oops. The building inspector decided that even though we didn't intend this as a permanent rental, the next owners (may they be many, many years away) might not see it the same way. Every separate unit needs its very own septic field. Not just a lot more money, but a lot more digging—on the other side of all the holes for the foundation footings.
The thing that's interesting about fundamental errors is not just their commission, but all that flows from them. In particular, I've been watching how easy it is to continue to make bad decisions to fix an error in judgment instead of just backing up and saying, oops. I'm wrong. Guess I have to do something different.
In an amazing and generally gut-wrenching two-week period, we decided first to expand the guest house. If we had to dig an expensive septic field, then by God we would use it. But this presented its own problems: where to expand without impinging on the finally-fenced, raised-bed, greenhouse-built-with-our-own-hands vegetable garden? What kind of design would work without overwhelming everything around it? How could we arrange the work so that it didn't require multiple concrete pours and many extra hours of machine work? And what did all this mean for our vision of the space? (Even just writing all this down makes my stomach hurt.) But at one point in this process, my dear husband said out loud, "We don't want to correct a bad decision by making other bad decisions."
In the midst of this feast of discernment, I read the gospel for next Sunday. If you care to look it up, it's Mark 6:14-29, the beheading of John the Baptist. In this reading, Salome dances for her stepfather Herod and his friends at the king's birthday party. Herod is so pleased—and probably so drunk!—that he promises her whatever she wants. The girl, who isn't sure what to ask for, seeks advice from her mother, whom Mark tells us has a grudge against John. In the final horrific and unforgettable moment, the head of John the Baptist is brought into the banquet on a platter.
Not a happy passage, and no great role models to be found; but a good object lesson. John's murder was the result of Herod's rash promise, a fundamental error born of misguided exuberance. More deadly than his initial mistake is the next bad decision: Herod can't figure out how to back up and say oops. As Mark puts it, "The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her." In other words, Herod didn't want to be embarrassed.
The kind of admission that Herod needed to make takes a lot of humility, as in eating humble pie and admitting that you really blew it. And therein lies the difficulty. Who wants to admit this? Who wants to say, "I was wrong and I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm going to anyway—because I screwed up." I can read this scripture passage and say, "Herod, your weakness is evil. You committed murder to keep your pride intact." But I really DO understand that it is hard to change directions once you begin making mistakes!
I didn't make that admission of error in the midst of my first bad decision. I guess I didn't want to upset other people: I got lost in the eternal and impossible quest to make everyone happy (which never works). But in the second mistake I had George as partner, and that helped immensely. It always helps to check my thinking with someone I can trust.
One of the most fruitful realizations that came out of our hours of discussion about the guest house has been a deeper understanding of what we are doing here at Heart's Rest. We're not actually running a retreat centre, with a full schedule of events and a cadre of consultants who lead them. We are rather a place of hospitality. As a place of hospitality, we offer affordable and lovely space as well as thoughtful support to people who need restoration: ministers and academics, friends and family and spiritual folk. We lead some retreats and workshops here, and make our home available for appropriate community events. But the thrust of life is to be an "easy offering," as George has put it for years. This means offering a place of silence and woods and gardens and the sun going down behind the mountains and conversations with depth and attention.
And hence there is no need to "maximize space" in order to fill retreats or make sure that we have the ideal commercial rental unit. And so, the hermitage is back on track in its original compact and lovely configuration. With a full-sized septic field, of course.
So this brings me to my final thought, that notoriously variable passage from Romans 8:28. It comes to mind because of the grace-filled result of this process of error and compounded error and final correction. I print it here in my favourite iterations: We know that God makes all things work together for good. We know that in all things God works for good. I believe both of these are true. Our God, the God of all grace, toils to draw all things into harmony. Our God, the God of possibilities, labours in every minute part of life to bring forth good. To participate in this beauty and joy, all I have to do is pay attention. Oh yeah—and let go of my pride.

VERY quick review of the gig I'm just home from then, for the simple reason that I'm fairly lucid due to Tennent's being both horrible and £3 a pop, reason enough to stay sober at a gig. Somewhat ruined by going to another pub after the gig and drinking real beer though, so it may verge into incoherence.
My Latest Novel: opened the show. It's been a few years since I saw them, last time was at the launch party for their debut album. Oh holy Fuck, this band is brilliant. That was my first impression of My Latest Novel and to be honest tonight just reminded me that. Splitting the set half and half between the debut album and songs from the new forthcoming (I want it NOW dammit) album was possibly a brave move, especially when you are a band from Greenock playing in Paisley (football wise there's no love lost. Me personally? I don't give a toss. Greenock isn't the nicest place on Earth but hey, Paisley is a Hellhole). Disappointing for me was the lack of some songs from the first album, but in a half hour set there's only so many things that can be crammed in.
The Reputation of Ross Francis, The Job Mr. Kurtz Done and Sister Sneaker, Sister Soul are still good enough songs to send tingles up my spine and make me wonder why this band aren't already huge. Scottish Arcade Fire? Fuck off, hasn't that lazy description been passed on to Broken Records now (who it doesn't fit either, but that's a whole other post) Seriously, if the new album is anywhere near as good as the live stuff, it'll be brilliant.
Special mention goes to the first pretty girl of the evening (I know, this is stunningly misogynistic, but still...) Laura you can be entirely forgiven for the over the knee socks and snug backless dress look for the simple reason that your violin skills are undoubted and you are not a bad singer either.
So, yeah. My Latest Novel were very, very good. The only disappointments for me were the lack of a few personal favourites from the debut album, but that is hardly their fault given the time allowed for their set.
Errors Honestly I can't say much about their set. It was good, don't get me wrong, but at the same time it was just kind of there.
Again, there was nothing at all wrong with the band, or their set, and I enjoyed it, but it didn't move me like My Latest Novel did.
Sons & Daughters were great, as always. Pleasant surprise of the evening was Ailidh (please tell me I'm spelling that right) being present on bass. Alaidh recently gave birth to a son who's name I do not know, so I didn't expect her to be back at work quite so soon. I'm never going to get through a Sons & Daughters writ-up without mentioning how gorgeous Adele and Ailidh looked, so I'll go ahead and get that out of the way now. Don't worry, Scott was also as handsome as always too.
On to their set, it wasn't massively different from the last time I saw them in the ABC at the start of the year (Hell, I'm fairly sure Adele had the same dress on, and thank God she wears shorts under it, since Paisley Town Hall has quite a high stage and if she didn't, well, this review might get filthy) Throwing away Johnny Cash as your second song is a ballsy move, but one that couldn't be faulted as the band laid on a cracking set, mostly drawn from the most recent album This Gift. Early on Adele apologised for never having been to Paisley before. On behalf on Paisley I'd like to assure her that's a wise move, but to please come back sometime anyway. Adele & Scott dealt well with a few over eager audience members (although to be fair, I struggled to avoid joining in the requests for Killer at time) and the entire band as always put on a cracking show. My one problem with This Gift is always addressed live, Scott sings more. I miss him on the album, the melodies live make the songs much better.
All in all then, was it worth my £12? Fuck yes. I'd pay that to see My Latest Novel or Sons & Daughters headlining a show of their own, having Errors tosses into the mix late sweetens the deal on my end even more.
Nitpicks? Well, I'd have liked to see My Latest Novel play longer, I'd have liked the beer not to have been so expensive (and horrible, but I just don't like Tennent's) and finally, I'd have LOVED the guy and girl who were in front of me for the first hour to have shown some fucking decency and not (a) chattered through the band and (b) stopped chattering long enough to snog the faces off each other. I dearly hope someone stabs both of you in the eye with a fork.
Finally, a big "Well, I didn't expect that" to the sound tonight. I've been to a ton of gigs in my life and way over half of them have had awful sound, but tonight - even though I was concered by the venue's huge hugh celing - someone out there played a bloody blinder. Sound was perfect throughout, for all three bands. Cheers Soundmen!

Fancy A Pint?
Yep, once again I'm offering my readership of no one a drink.
As i mentioned a wee while ago, Sons & Daughters, My Latest Novel and Errors are playing in Paisley tomorrow at the Town Hall as part of the Tennents Mutual round of gigs. Getting one good band in Paisley is rare enough, three in one show is downright unmissable, so of course I'll be going along.
If anyone else is and fancies some form of beverage, give me a shout.

text: In this paper we estimate Armington elasticities for Swedish manufacturing sectors at the two-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification system (ISIC). These elasticities represent the sensitivity of Swedish consumption to relative price changes between imports and domestically produced products. We rework and refine the methodology taken from previous literature to create regression equations that keep intact the mathematical relationship inherent in substitution elasticities. Subsequently, data was taken from Eurostat and the OECD. This data was transformed into time series that correspond to the variables in the regression equations. The time series were tested for integration and cointegration. Out of fourteen manufacturing sectors for which data was available, we recommend five elasticity estimates for further use.

Transition to Adulthood
Services for College-Bound Students
Every college and university in the United States is required by law to have an office for students with disabilities to provide services and accommodations. The exact name of this office varies (Education and Disability Resources, Disability Support Services, Center for Student Success, etc.) but the office has the same legal responsibility -- to provide accommodations and support to students with disabilities. It is the responsibility of the student to identify him/herself to this office to request services.
The types of accommodations provided by colleges or universities are guided by the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) rather than the Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA), which guides elementary and secondary education. Colleges and universities are required to provide reasonable accommodations based on the nature and severity of the disability, but they are NOT required to modify their curriculum or their standards for graduation.
The following agencies assist students as they move on to higher education:
Resource Contact Information
(Not to be confused with AHEDD, which is an employment resource listed under "Vocational/Job Training" in this section of the Guide.) AHEADD (Achieving in Higher Education with Autism/Developmental Disabilities) is a nonprofit organization providing support for students with learning disabilities, high-functioning autism (HFA), Asperger's syndrome (AS), nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD), and attention deficit disorder (ADD).
|Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR), Pittsburgh District
Provides vocational rehabilitation services to help individuals with disabilities prepare for, obtain, or maintain employment. OVR can begin participating in a student's Transition planning during the student's last two years of high school. The counselor can develop an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE) including education or training beyond high school to achieve the student's work goals.
|OVR's Bureau of Blindness and Visual Services
Assists individuals who are blind or visually impaired
|The Watson Institute
The Autism College and Community Life Acclimation and Intervention Model (ACCLAIM) of The Watson Institute is designed for college-bound teenagers with Asperger's and high-functioning autistic disorders. The program focuses on the development of skills necessary to succeed at college and includes therapeutic, learning, and social components.

Today was a difficult, interesting and ultimately satisfying ride. Being Wednesday it is usually my day for a long ride. Yesterday was a long busy day at work and I was exhausted. I also didn't eat all that well. So I did not leave the house this morning until 9 AM and as soon as I was on the road I knew I didn't have the miles in my legs. It was frustrating since I'd ridden over 60 miles last Wednesday. But just getting up the trail to the museum felt almost as difficult as it used to feel a year ago when I was just starting out. I knew I wouldn't make it to Valley Forge. I didn't know if I'd make a single loop around the trail! Sure, it was a bit windy, but what I was feeling went far beyond the wind. I kept going until I reached almost to the Falls bridge, figuring I'd go around and be happy with a single loop. too bad, too, as it is a gorgeous day. Temperature in the 60's and no humidity. When I got to just before the bridge the road was blocked. They are removing some trees from the side of the path. One had to go into the street and up around the obstruction. I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I took this picture and felt justified in turning around.
I went back down the drive all the way to the Locust entrance. I was feeling a little stronger but the strength in my legs just wasn't kicking in the way it sometime does when I start out tired and work through it. But I couldn't get myself to go home either. The weather was so nice, I was enjoying listening to my various podcasts, I wanted to stop into Zoom in Manayunk because I was having a little problem keeping my speedometer staying on the bar; so I turned back from the beginning and went out along the west side of the drive, crossed the bridge the other way and continued to Manayunk. Took care of fixing the speedometer and turned toward home. Made a much needed fueling stop at the Manayunk Diner. But even after eating I didn't feel much stronger. Then, about half-way home the fuel seemed to kick in. My pace picked up a bit, the feeling of struggling abated; I felt the usual enjoyment of the ride and decided to take another spin around the loop. All in all I managed to put on a tough 32.9 miles, feeling way better at the end then at the beginning. On the last leg of the trip I did feel like I needed another break; my feet were hurting a bit which is pretty typical after 20-25 miles, so I decided to really enjoy the park I'm always just riding through. I found a nice bench along the river and rested for 10-15 minutes.This is what I was looking at:
The thing that helped keep me going, just as I thought I'd really bonked for the day, was a glimpse of team CSC riding by! I saw this group of riders all wearing CSC kit riding along the Ben Franklin Parkway out onto Kelly Drive and I'm thinking, "I wonder who those guys are riding as a group on a Wednesday morning? And why are they all in CSC kit? And then it dawned on me: this is the week of the big pro tour bike race in Philly and those guys were for real. I tried to get a picture put it all happened too fast. Later on I also saw what appeared to be the T-Mobile team out for a practice ride. I got a few shots but they don't show anything, so in lieu of my photos here are a few official photos of both squads. It should be an exciting weekend in the city for those of us who even know that the race is happening.
Finally, in case you haven't noticed I've added a new book to the Amazon connections on the right side column. It is Floyd Landis's new book: "Positively False." It is available for pre-order and will be out at the end of the month. Of course, I haven't read it and really can't recommend it, but I'm planning to read it and if you're interested feel free to order through my link.

If you haven't migrated your website to HTTPS, Google is going to start calling you on it.
Google's long-anticipated effort to encrypt all of the internet will come to a head this summer, with the launch of Chrome 68. With this browser update, Chrome will begin to mark any unencrypted websites as "Not Secure."
Since Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world, that means your web traffic will be affected. Visitors will either see a comforting, green padlock or a gray circle and the words "Not Secure."
Not sure whether your website will be given the green light? Here's how you can tell:
Did you spot the difference? It's in the protocol text before your domain name. Google wants to see all websites to use secure HTTPS connections, encrypted with SSL or TLS certificates.
And if your website is using the old HTTP protocol – everyone who visits your website via Chrome will see a warning indicating that your website is not secure. It doesn't matter if your website doesn't process credit card payments or transmit customer information, Google wants all websites to migrate to HTTPS to enhance online security with data integrity, encryption and authentication to thwart hackers.
The change is expected to look a little something like this:
This is the first step in the Google warning, as a future update will include a red yield sign for any HTTP website with input fields. Google plans to eventually drop the current green "Secure" language for websites that are encrypted, as it expects that encryption to be the standard for all URLs.
High five! If your website is already encrypted, you're ahead of the game. Now you can kick back and relax knowing you have made The Google happy. You can also enjoy knowing your site might see an SEO boost over competitors, as Google has indicated that HTTPS is one if its ranking signals.
And if you're a Shout It Out Design client – you're already covered since we migrated all of our sites to HTTPS back in 2017 (pats self on the back).
It's time to make like a bird and migrate.
If that scary new warning on Google Chrome isn't enough to motivate you, keep in mind that if you aren't using HTTPS, you could see a change in web traffic and visitor behavior.
Traffic: Google has indicated that HTTPS is one of its ranking signals, so sticking with an old HTTP site could put you at a search disadvantage (no matter what browser they're using).
Behavior: When visitors actually make it to your website using Chrome, the "Not Secure" warning could increase your bounce rate and reduce your pages per visit and overall visitor time on site. I don't know about you, but I'll think twice about using any website that Google warns me is "Not Secure."
While this changeover might seem like a pain if you haven't already migrated, it is a positive step for making the web a more secure experience for all.
If you need to take action but don't know where to start, there is free resource called "Let's Encrypt" that can help you enable HTTPS on your website. Should you want some expert help from a web design company that has migrated more than 100 websites already, give us a shout.

This is a link to a recent article in the AFR which was highlighted on the HVPA Members mailing list .
The article describes the ugly realities facing the residents of our valley if AGL obtains their coal seam gas production license and starts to bulldoze their way into our backyards using police and courts.
Dear All,
The second of three very interesting articles in today's AFR.
The Coal Seam Gas industry belatedly comes to terms with the new reality. Though it's doubtful their shareholders have done the same.
Shouldn't these publicly listed companies be making statements to the ASX about the material change of circumstances they now find themselves in?

Weak Ugandan Democracy, Strong Regional Influence
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's reputation is weakened by his unwillingness to leave office: he was elected for a fifth term of office in February 2016 in an election that drew international criticism. This report, a joint publication of USIP and the Institute for Security Studies, explores key elements of Uganda's domestic politics and foreign policy as well as the impact they have in the region and internationally.
- Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni came to power in 1986 after leading the National Resistance Army's armed struggle for control of the country.
- Initially hailed as one of Africa's new, progressive, and capable heads of state, Museveni has seen his favorable reputation tarnished by his unwillingness to leave office.
- Sensing threats to his campaign, Museveni orchestrated widespread political repression in the months leading up to the elections; he was elected for a fifth term of office in February 2016 in an election that drew international criticism.
- Museveni has come to be seen as the most dominant leader in the region and an essential ally both to many neighboring countries and to the West.
- Uganda's prominent regional role has allowed Museveni to deflect criticism of Uganda's weakening democracy.
- Through Uganda's deployments to the African Union Mission in Somalia, its participation in missions to counter the Lord's Resistance Army, and its intervention in the South Sudanese crisis, Museveni demonstrated his willingness and capacity to deploy his armed forces to advance his foreign policy objectives. His various interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, however, damaged Uganda's international reputation.
- Polarization and repression within Uganda remain high and relations are strained between Museveni and some of Uganda's allies. Museveni's eventual succession is uncertain and presents a risk of increased political tensions.
- Analysis of recent international interventions and the drivers behind them offers insight about Uganda's future foreign policy, whether under Museveni or a successor.
About the Report
In the wake of Uganda's contentious 2016 presidential election, this report explores key elements of the country's domestic politics and foreign policy as well as their regional and international ramifications. A joint publication of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), the report draws on interviews conducted in Uganda, Ethiopia, South Africa, and the United States and on desk research.

Major spa developments are underway at two of the region's leading country house venues – Rockliffe Hall and Ramside Hall.
Five-star Rockliffe Hall, in Hurworth near Darlington, has announced major expansion plans for 2015 including a new 'Spa Garden' to further enhance its award-winning spa facilities.
Facilities at the Spa Garden will include two outdoor hot pools including an infinity edge hydrotherapy pool with massage features and a warm Jacuzzi, under-floor heated decking and lounging areas, a garden room with a traditional glass-fronted sauna cabin, fire pit, water feature, landscaped gardens with views across Rockliffe Hall's grounds and heated relaxation loungers.
The new development is set to open in the autumn and work on the 200 meters square spa garden is now underway.
Rockliffe Hall's spa has become one of the most successful in the UK and was recently the only spa in the North to receive a Good Spa Guide award – the 'Best Spa for Sheer Luxury'. This latest award for Rockliffe Hall's spa comes after a successful 2014 when it received the Good Spa Guide's new accolade of '5 Bubble Luxury' alongside just five other UK spas.
Warwick Brindle, chairman of Rockliffe Hall, said: "The investment marks the start of an exciting growth phase for our resort with big plans for the coming year as we continue to strive to increase both business and leisure tourism in the region."
Meanwhile, Durham's four-star country house hotel, Ramside Hall, has unveiled its plans for an ambitious £18m development which will see the creation of a state-of-the-art luxury spa and 47 new deluxe rooms.
The new spa at Ramside will open in spring 2015, with a range of facilities including a 25m long pool, hydrotherapy pool, saunas and a range of different steam rooms, as well as the creation of an outdoor balcony with an infinity pool spa, a Caldarium – a hot plunge pool – and a Rasul mud chamber.
It will also offer 12 therapy rooms, a gym, a dance studio and a hair salon, along with enhancing the hotel's food operation with the addition of a new Asian style restaurant and bar.
The on-going development comes after a huge investment in the hotel's golf facilities, with an additional championship 18-hole course created and unveiled earlier this year.
"This is a huge development for the hotel and will be a massive boost for the North East," said Tim Boyd, General Manager at Ramside Hall Hotel.
"We're creating an amazing state-of-the-art leisure facility which will be suited to everyone, from visitors who want to get fit and keep in shape to anyone who just wants some rest and relaxation.
"At the same time the addition of the extra rooms will give the hotel even more capacity to cope with leisure and business travellers."

Pick a style you like the look of from the right.
You need a long bridal
cut for your wedding day which is not only beautiful but also easy to maintain. Your hairstyle must remain well maintained for the entire day to make you appear picture perfect for every moment. There are few basic things that you can do to make sure that you have selected the right style for your hair. At first, you need to decide if you want curly or straight hair for the day.
The weather and the wedding venue are also important factors to be considered. You can have a sophisticated look only when everything about your make-over is in harmony. You can also go for hair accessories, or get a simply elegant look.
The advantage of having long hair is that you can try long bridal hairstyle updos of any kind. Long hair provides you with plenty of opportunity to select from a huge range for the special day of your life. Most of the brides prefer romantic curls for their wedding day. However, elegant updos have their own charm. You can use
floral hair jewelleries to look even more attractive. Keep the hairstyle as simple as you can, as elegancy is an important thing that the bride needs to carry on her wedding day.
One thing that you must remember is that you must not be tempted to try a style
that you have never tried before. It should be one that is already
tested and proven to be right for you. The modern day shoulder-less
wedding dresses are perfect for long hair hairstyles.

Mutoh's Temple is the seventh dungeon in Phantom Hourglass.[1]
Entrance to the Temple
The temple is located on the northeastern part of the Isle of Ruins, and serves as the location of the pure metal Aquanine. The entrance is available for the one who encounters the four knights of the Cobble Kingdom (one of them resting on the Isle of the Dead) and solves an ancient riddle.[2]
The temple includes numerous obstacles that can be harmful for the careless explorer, including hidden trap holes, arrow shooters, rolling rocks, and water that can be risen or lowered manually. Anyone surviving these traps will find the temple's item, which is the hammer. This handy tool is useful to press rusty switches, and many of the puzzles revolve around it, especially favoring puzzles which involve flipping tiles.[3] The temple's boss is Eox.
The dungeon's design is richer and more detailed than that of the other temples in the Isle of Ruins, and is also one of the largest in the game in terms of size (only surpassed by the Temple of the Ocean King). The temple contains the sleeping spirit of Mutoh, the king of the ancient Cobble Kingdom, who grants Link the Aquanine as thanks from helping them rest in peace.
It is optional whether Link completes this temple before or after the Goron Temple and/or the Temple of Ice.
