Hi Nicola,
I just upgraded to the paid version for calender integration but neither iCAl or google calender integration is working. Worker nor client is receiving attachments and nothing is showing up in my google calender
Besides that, I can't confirm my test appointments anymore (status does change in wordpress but no emails are sent. And website page opens saying "Appointment can't be confirmed!")
I followed the steps in the video for google calender intergration
Hi, can you please tell me have you managed to Connect to Google Calendar App that you created? You can do that by trying to list calendars in advance calendar sync options like on this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ8r33WHng4
Best regards,
There is only a primary calender to choose from, not my personal calender.
Also: when I create a test-appointment as a client and I try to "sent" the appointment, I don't see the confirmation that the information was sent. I used to see this before the installation of the extension. Now I only see my cursor change into a stop-sign (red circle with tripe). The appointment is saved into the system
Hi, Petra can you please check if there is any error inside error log file on your hosting? Everything should work the same with or without extension plugin.
Best regards,
Hi Nicole,
I ran the updates on both the plugin and the extension and now it is both working. Don't know what happend, but it's working now.
Strange thing is, that the reservations tab on the wordpress plugin is not loading anymore. Any idea what might have happened here?
Hi Nikola, I have just purchased the extension and trying to install the Google calender. Here is what I did:
- Authorized with Google and also got a notification of calender linked
- I want to have all appointments on the primary calender – though I tried to create the additional calenders but did'nt work either
- I changed the Time zone settings to Melbourne [city name]
- If I create an additional calender eg. Test calender – it is showing up in Advance area and this means the integration between EA and Google calender is good.
- When trying to make the booking, it is not recording on google calender at all. Don't know what is going wrong. I struggled for more than 2 hours already but no luck
- Your prompt response to this is highly appreciated.
2. you have to create mapping between Google Calendar and EA Service/Location/Worker in order to have it synced there.
5. Only confirmed appointments are send to GC. Can you please check the status of those appointments?
Best regards,

Classic Southern Williamsburg Wedding | Styled Shoot
Dignity and style, and everything in between. This past weekend I went on a mini road trip down to one of my favorite southern small towns...the charming Williamsburg, VA. A total dream-come-true, I was able to photograph at the Williamsburg Inn, where Queen Elizabeth II herself stayed when on business--among so many royals and powerful figures of history.
A special thank you to the incredible vendors who made this gorgeous southern-styled wedding shoot happen! We had so much fun!!!
Model: Apryl Crowell

Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensation reactions of amino acids, which have the general structure In this structure, $-\mathrm{R}$ represents $-\mathrm{H},-\mathrm{CH}_{3},$ or another group of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids, and each has one of 20 different $\mathrm{R}$ groups. (a) Draw the general structure of a protein formed by condensation polymerization of the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only a few amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a "peptide" rather than a protein; only when there are 50 amino acids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.

The electrical conductivity of aluminum is approximately $10^{9}$ times greater than that of its neighbor in the periodic table, silicon. Aluminum has a face-centered cubic structure, and silicon has the diamond structure. A classmate of yours tells you that density is the reason aluminum is a metal but silicon is not; therefore, if you were to put silicon under high pressure, it too would act like a metal. Discuss this idea with your classmates, looking up data about Al and Si as needed.

Explain why X rays can be used to measure atomic distances in crystals but visible light cannot be used for this purpose.
In their study of X-ray diffraction, William and Lawrence Bragg determined that the relationship among the wavelength of the radiation $(\lambda),$ the angle at which the raveation is diffracted $(\theta),$ and the distance between planes of atoms in the crystal that cause the diffraction $(d)$ is given by $n \lambda=2 d \sin \theta . X$ rays from a copper $X$ -ray tube that have a wavelength of 1.54$\hat{\mathrm{A}}$ are diffracted at an angle of 14.22 degrees by crystalline silicon. Using the Bragg equation, calculate the distance between the planes of atoms responsiblefor diffraction in this crystal, assuming $n=1$ (first-order diffraction).
Germanium has the same structure as silicon, but the unit cell size is different because Ge and Si atoms are not the same size. If you were to repeat the experiment described in the previous problem but replace the Si crystal with a Ge crystal, would you expect the X rays to be diffracted at a larger or smaller angle $\theta$ ?

(b) X-ray diffraction studies of buckminsterfullerene show that it has a face-centered cubic lattice of $\mathrm{C}_{60}$ molecules. The length of an edge of the unit cell is 14.2$\hat{\mathrm{A}}$ . Calculate the density ofbuckminsterfullerene.

Although polyethylene can twist and turn in random ways, the most stable form is a linear one with the carbon back-bone oriented as shown in the following figure: The solid wedges in the figure indicate bonds from carbon that come out of the plane of the page; the dashed wedges indicate bonds that lie behind the plane of the page.
(a) What is the hybridization of orbitals at each carbon atom? What angles do you expect between the bonds?
(b) Now imagine that the polymer is polypropylene rather than polyethylene. Draw structures for polypropylene in which (i) the CH $_{3}$ groups all lie on thesame side of the plane of the paper (this form is called isotactic polypropylene), (ii) the $\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ groups lie on alternating sides of the plane (syndiotactic polypropylene), or (iii) the $\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ groups are randomly distributedon either side (atactic polypropylene). Which of these forms would you expect to have the highest crystallinity and melting point, and which the lowest? Explainin terms of intermolecular interactions and molecular shapes.
(c) Polypropylene fibers have been employed in athletic wear. The product is said to be superior to cotton or polyester clothing in wicking moisture away from thebody through the fabric to the outside.

TCU alumnae step in to coach Showgirls team
Published October 28, 2014
The Showgirls coaching staff has a different look to it this football season.
Lindsay Westbrook, the TCU Showgirls coach, is on maternity leave after giving birth to her daughter on Oct. 6. While she's away, two Showgirls alumnae are stepping in to direct the team.
"Brittany Barbeau and Ashley Iovine are directing the team while I am on maternity leave," Westbrook said.
Barbeau and Iovine were both captains and members of the team for four years. Iovine is currently a law school student at the University of Oklahoma and Barbeau is a recent TCU graduate.
"As former Showgirls, we are both familiar with the program and understand the importance in maintaining a top-tier dance team to complement TCU's successful athletics program," Iovine said.
Since Barbeau and Iovine have stepped in to help, they have noticed how much the team has grown since they were members.
"This growth is unquestionably due to Lindsay's commitment to the spirit program, so Brittany and I have some large boots to fill, pun intended," Iovine said.
Kristy Charron, a sophomore business major and member of the team, said the current Showgirls miss Westbrook's commitment to the team. However, they are still enjoying their new coaches for the season.
"I love the new coaches and how easy they are to talk to, especially since they are just out of college," said Charron, a business major. "They can really relate to us and know what it is like to be in our shoes."
While Barbeau and Iovine are coaching the Showgirls, Westbrook is able to enjoy spending time with her baby girl, Savanna Grace Westbrook. Savanna was 7.1 pounds and 20.5 inches in length when she was born.
The Showgirls hope Savanna will follow in her mom's footsteps and join the Showgirls dance team one day, Charron said.

Girls in sports, a real coaching challenge
(Color) Chieftain file photo
USC women's head basketball coach, Sherry Winn, jumps to her feet as her team takes the lead against UCCS earlier in theseason.
"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes. . ."
My Favorite Things, The Sound of Music
How long has that image lingered in our minds and hearts?
Parents smile at the thought of a tiny daughter decked out in ribbons and bows.
Maybe grubby hands and skinned knees would serve our daughters better, especially if they have aspirations in the world of sports.
"Society tends to judge women on their looks," said Sherry Winn, women's basketball coach at the University of Southern Colorado, in a recent interview. "Women tend to have more insecurity because of that. Women and girls fight with that conflict; it has an effect on how we view ourselves.
"Now women are trying to redefine who a woman can be."
Winn, a gritty import from a highly successful program at Montana State University-Northern, is determined to pull the Thunderwolf program up by the bootstraps. She said a critical part of her coaching philosophy is to work on self-image with her players.
"They're always second-guessing themselves. . .
" 'What are my teammates thinking?
" 'Will people like me?' "
Bob Haley, longtime swim coach for both boys and girls who also coaches volleyball at Centennial High School, used almost exactly the same words.
"Girls need to be talked to more. They have to have a higher belief system," said Haley. "I feel when you coach girls, they're an emotional being. But they keep those emotions inside.
"They're taught that it's not ladylike to be aggressive.
"But I'd rather coach girls. They get more excited when they do well, they're more discouraged when they don't. It's a real coaching challenge," said Haley.
Haley doesn't feel girls can deliver the same consistency as boys, especially in high school, when girls are also dealing with physical changes. "It's a roller coaster."
Winn said girls tend to doubt themselves as athletes, especially.
"In their minds, they list the negatives. We address how to speak to yourself _ how to revert to the positive."
The good news on this front is that girls and women's sports are becoming high-profile events. The television coverage of the recent NCAA Division I women's tournament got good viewer ratings and the inaugural season of the American Basketball League was considered a success. The Colorado Xplosion were a success on the court and at the gate.
My parents both have basketball backgrounds _ my mother in the old, Iowa half-court game and my dad as a member of the Fargo, S.D., team that won a state championship more than 50 years ago when the center jump was employed after every made basket. Both relished women's exploits in the NCAA tournament, watching many hours of ESPN coverage with enjoyment.
"There's been a lot of
Please see Hildner, Page 3C
progress," said Winn, a two-time Olympian in team handball and a basketball All-America at the University of Charleston.
"Seeing women on TV, there's been some great messages. The Nike commercials have been great.
"We need to break our own barriers. There are some things women do better than men," said Winn, who acknowledged that a constant physical comparison with male athletes is counter-productive. "You need to be comparing yourself to your potential."

See The Style Preview blog post HERE & The Style Preview video below & hit read more to find out all about our project.
This is our first 'business' blog here at GE HQ, and we just had to write about one of our lovely new clients. You might know, that we offer a business consultancy, as well as an event agency, and often they work alongside each other to boost a business's visibility and brand reach.
LOVEBITES are a fabulous high-end catering company based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. We worked together on a project at the Lakes by yoo, and since going freelance full time, the lovely ladies at LOVEBITES have taken on our services to raise their brand to the next level.
I've got something of a back log of reviews to be writing, but I simply couldn't resist skipping to our elegant SB to Ischia this July. What a sheer marvel this island is – I was inspired by various friends of ours escaping to the Amalfi coast, and I decided we needed to get in on the action. I am a sucker for various travel website newsletters, and I had heard tell of Ischia several times – the chic, authentic and under the radar sister island to Capri. I said to Mr G that we needed a break – it had been a difficult phase for both of us work-wise, and with a house purchase going through we were definitely ready for some sun and a full battery recharge. Cue the Terme Manzi Hotel, of the Relais & Chateau consortium.
Enigmatic Cabo Verde – February 2015
Cabo Verde, the still rather unknown collection of Islands, located East of Senegal & Gambia, is something of a gem. We booked a week here the day after my mother's wedding (frankly needing a holiday to recover from the stress of it all!) and got a fabulous deal I have to say. Before I get onto that, briefly the flights were about £400 each – it's almost 8 hours, but is somehow crazily classed as short haul – so it's the zone of budget airlines & airbuses, for the longest time they can just about get away with – not pleasant. I presume it will be the same with Gambia that I'm keen to try – although a friend of mine, Ms C, advises they are a little anti-gay, so needs more research.
This blog is all about travel – and the pieces are all written by me, Mr E. My partner, Mr G, travels with me, and offers a different perspective to my own on the experiences we have been lucky enough to share. My background (and present!) is in running luxury, boutique hotels – so, without sounding too arrogant, I do know what I'm talking about – and I hope you will find our blog an insightful and useful when planning your travels.
Booking a holiday or a short break ('SBs' as we fondly know them), is often pretty stressful – the endless comparison sites, uncertainty on when really is the best time to book, the leap of faith when you finally do commit to a booking – I seem to be in an endless booking cycle, and it's super important to me, that when we do arrive our expectations are met, and hopefully exceeded. That's what makes memories, and that's what travel is all about for us.
Who are we? In brief, we are a young, professional gay couple, currently without children – with our main tick boxes being luxury, culture, cuisine & climate. I mention that we are gay, as I think too, that it's actually quite useful for other gay travellers to understand our experiences, which have not always been positive, to help them decide on their travel plans.
So, if our tick boxes are the same as your tick boxes, hopefully, you'll find our blog interesting & useful. Oh – I cannot bear a buffet either. The theme runs through…
One final thing – I believe that preparation is everything, so, much to Mr G's horror, I prepare itineraries for our holidays, spending time to research restaurants, excursions etc – I hate to feel like we're wasting time, or not getting a true taste of where we are off to – so each break, has an accompanying itinerary if you wanted to follow in our footsteps!
Bon voyage!

— FluGen is reporting positive results from a "human challenge" study, in which participants were purposefully exposed to a flu virus to test vaccine efficacy.
FluGen, based in Madison, is undertaking the study with the support of a $15.4 million Department of Defense grant. Published recently in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, the study results show that participants who received the vaccine candidate were less likely to be infected by the target influenza strain.
"Current vaccines are strain-specific and in recent years they have had low efficacy against H3N2 influenza, especially when the vaccine is mismatched to circulating virus," said Dr. Robert Belshe, a professor of infectious diseases and immunology at Saint Louis University and chair of the company's advisory board.
In a release, he noted the vaccine candidate used in the study was effective against an influenza strain that had accumulated genetic variations through mutation. This process, known as antigenic drift, results in viruses such as the flu changing over time.
Belshe noted that "subjects with vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies were protected against infection and illness following challenge with an antigenically drifted virus."
The study included adults between the ages of 18 and 55 who received an intranasal spray of either the vaccine or a placebo. They were then exposed to the specific influenza strain four weeks later. Researchers found that 54 percent of subjects who received the vaccine candidate were infected, compared to 71 percent of those who got the placebo.
See more on the study results: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/flugen-announces-publication-of-positive-results-from-phase-2-human-challenge-study-of-its-m2sr-vaccine-candidate-against-highly-drifted-strain-of-h3n2-influenza-virus-301344726.html
— The Wisconsin Medical Society is urging all health care employers in the state to require their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
"At some point, all employers have to step up and start mandating vaccinations to protect their employees and customers," said WMS COVID-19 Task Force Chair David Letzer. "Because the Delta variant is two to three times more infectious than the original strain, the time has come to take this next step."
National health care organizations including the American Medical Association made a similar request last week.
In Wisconsin, health systems including SSM Health, the Mayo Clinic Health System, Ascension Wisconsin, Children's Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin have all announced they'll be requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for employees, a WMS release shows.
WMS is the largest association of medical doctors in the state with more than 10,000 members.
See the release: https://www.wisbusiness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Release-Vaccinations-Requirement-08.02.21.pdf
— The state Department of Health Services has submitted a plan to federal officials for the use of nearly $50 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to expand mental health and substance abuse services in Wisconsin.
Under the plan, $24.6 million would go toward mental health services and $22 million would support substance abuse services in the state, a DHS release shows. The agency has submitted plans for the funding to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Local entities including county and tribal human services departments will have some say over which programs and services are funded, according to the release. The plan proposes expanding substance abuse prevention efforts, increasing access to opioid overdose reversal drugs, and expanding support networks such as recovery coaches.
"We know that mental health and substance use issues affect people of every race, every age, every walk of life, all across our state," said DHS Secretary-designee Karen Timberlake.
See the release: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/news/releases/080221.htm
— The seven-day average for new COVID-19 cases in the state reached 797 on Sunday, which is nearly as high as the previous peak from early April.
State health officials continue to urge residents to get vaccinated, as the fast-spreading delta variant poses a greater threat for unvaccinated people.
The majority of new cases being sequenced in Wisconsin over the past four weeks have been identified as the delta variant, the State Laboratory of Hygiene reports.
Wisconsin's vaccination rate continues to increase slowly, with 52.1 percent of the state's total population having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. And 49.4 percent of the state's population is now fully vaccinated, according to the state Department of Health Services.
By comparison, 57.8 percent of the U.S. population have gotten at least one dose, and 49.7 percent are fully vaccinated against the virus.

— Wisconsin would see $1 million per year over the next five years for environmental work as part of the U.S. Senate's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package.
The money is part of an Environmental Protection Agency allocation that would send $60 million to 12 states in the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force. Each state would see $1 million per year from next year through 2026.
Three percent of the funds are slated for salaries, expenses and administration of the environmental work.
See the 2,702-page bill text (EPA allocation on page 2579):
— Four Wisconsin cities were ranked among the top 10 manufacturing hubs in the nation in the 17th annual Business Facilities report.
Sheboygan was ranked third, while Wausau/Weston was ranked fifth. Fond du Lac was ranked sixth and Racine was ranked ninth.
Wisconsin overall was ranked first in the nation for manufacturing employment, and third for manufacturing output.
The National Association of Manufacturers estimates Wisconsin had around 474,000 employees in the manufacturing sector in 2019, and the state's total output from manufacturing was around $63 billion in 2018.

— The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce has announced the five finalist startups that will compete in this year's Pressure Chamber pitch competition later this month.
The pitch contest will be held Aug. 18 as part of Forward Festival, the state's largest technology and entrepreneurship festival. The winner will get the "golden suitcase" award, earning the chance to pitch to Silicon Valley venture capital firms through a chamber event this fall.
Three of the five finalists this year have startup companies in the health care space, and all are based in the Madison area. The three health-focused finalists include: Advocate MD, which is developing a membership-based primary care model; Pivotal Health, which has a scalable health care platform; and Nano RED, which has created a precision medicine platform.
The other two finalists are: eCIO, a financial technology firm providing a virtual platform for investment and other services; and Mobile22, a startup with a shared mobility platform aimed at connecting businesses, ride-share providers and consumers.
"From innovations in how we treat and care for people, to how we better collaborate, provide services and build the transportation system of tomorrow, this year's Pressure Chamber finalists are a perfect illustration of the many global challenges being solved right here in Greater Madison," said Chamber President Zach Brandon in a release.

Tropical storm Andrés formed on Sunday, May 9, in the waters of the Mexican Pacific, and by doing so, it broke a historical record for being the earliest named storm for the Pacific. The previous record had been set by Tropical Storm Adrián, which emerged on May 10, 2017.
Hurricane Season in the Pacific Ocean officially begins on May 15 and ends on November 30.
Tropical Storm Andrés continues to move over the Pacific Ocean. According to the National Meteorological Service (SMN), at 10:15 this Monday, May 10, the center of the cyclone was located 650 kilometers southwest of Playa Perula, in Jalisco, and 835 kilometers south of Cabo San Lucas, in Baja California Sur.
The direction of the system has not changed and continues to move towards the north-northwest. This means that it is gradually moving away from the Mexican coast, and further into the waters of the Pacific.
Although it is moving in the opposite direction to Mexico, due to its wide circulation, Andrés will hit some states in the west of the Republic, generating significant rainfall. Due to its slow movement, of about 9 kilometers per hour, these conditions will persist throughout Monday.
"The system is far from the Mexican Republic, however, its circulation will maintain the entry of moisture with heavy rains, accompanied by lightning, over the west of the country," the climate agency reported.
The heaviest rains are forecast in Jalisco and Michoacán, with accumulations that will move between 25 and 50 liters per square meter (l / m2). Its cloud bands will also hit Colima, where showers are expected, from 5.1 to 25 l / m2, and will affect Nayarit, with isolated storms that will leave records of up to 5 l / m2.
Although meteorologists expected the cyclone to lose intensity throughout the morning, it is still a tropical storm, with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour and more intense gusts of up to 85 km / h.
According to the trajectory forecast, Tropical Storm Andrés will gradually move away from the Mexican Pacific coast and will enter the sea, heading north-northwest.
Predictions for the 2021 Hurricane Season in the Pacific
- 8 hurricanes are expected: 5 moderate and 3 intense (categories 3, 4, and 5).
- 10 tropical storms are expected, among which is Andrés.
- Two tropical depressions.
Names for cyclones in the Northeast Pacific Ocean for 2021:
Andrés, Blanca, Carlos, Dolores, Enrique, Felicia, Guillermo, Hilda, Ignacio, Jimena, Kevin, Linda, Marty, Nora, Olaf, Pamela, Rick, Sandra, Terry, Vivian, Waldo, Xina, York, Zelda.

OHIP Coverage For Eye Exams
If you're a resident of Ontario, Canada, you're entitled to access emergency and preventative care under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, also known as OHIP. Services covered under OHIP may vary, depending on your age. Does OHIP cover eye exams? Learn whether you're covered for an eye exam at your neighbourhood Pearle Vision EyeCare Centre with OHIP.
Are Eye Exams Covered by OHIP?
Annual eye exams are fully covered by OHIP for children (19 or younger) and for seniors (65 or older). For adults between the ages of 20-64 years old, routine eye exams aren't covered by OHIP and will need to be paid out of pocket or through a private insurance. However, adults with specific eye conditions in need of regular monitoring will be covered for an eye exam every 12 months and any follow-up appointments related to that condition. Covered eye conditions under OHIP, include:
- Amblyopia
- Cataracts
- Corneal disease
- Diabetes mellitus
- Glaucoma
- Optic pathway disease
- Recurrent uveitis
- Retinal disease
- Strabismus
- Visual field defects
Are Eyeglasses Tax Deductible in Canada?
Prescription contacts and eyeglasses are tax deductible in Canada. If you're a Canadian citizen, don't forget to claim this expense on your yearly tax return. In order to claim your glasses or contacts, all you need to do is submit a receipt for your purchase with the date and a copy of your prescription. Any time you purchase a new pair of lenses, make sure to save the receipt and prescription to get your money back.
How to Use OHIP at Pearle Vision
Many Pearle Vision EyeCare Centres are locally owned by area eyecare professionals, which means direct billing vision insurance companies can vary between EyeCare Centres. Contact your neighbourhood Pearle Vision EyeCare Centre to ask whether OHIP is accepted at that specific location. If the answer is yes, make an appointment to take advantage of your eye exam benefits.

Hei, Yes, that's fine in theory how to adjust existing TOCs but it doesn't actually tell me how to make these links use "index link" automagically when I open a word document in writer. I don't also see any way to change the TOC defaults. I can insert a TOC in the template, yes, but that will only achieve having a TOC in all new documents (?). TOC settings do not appear in the style manager or any other place I've found. I can only see them when inserting a new TOC or editing an existing one. WRT template changer, I'm not really sure it's really faster than changing the internet link -style. The keyword here is how to make this happen automagically. I'd love to recommend libreoffice as a handy indexed PDF creator but those amateurish looking garish TOC entries are just not professional looking at all in a document that's supposed to be handed to clients. If you have read a 400-page microcontroller handbook in PDF that isn't indexed you know it'd be pretty easy sell.. Tom wrote

Looks like Reebok and toy company Hasbro really like collaborating with each other. The two iconic companies are once again teaming up to release some sneakers that'll have you feeling nostalgic about your childhood.
After linking up to release a limited edition "Candy Land" collection, Reebok and Hasbro will now be drawing inspiration from Hasbro's NERF brand to design and create some pretty interesting sneakers that your inner child will appreciate. Remixing Reebok silhouettes Reebok's Pump Omni Zone II, Kamikaze II and the Kamikaze II Low, Hasbro will be draping the sneakers in vibrant color blocks and materials that mimic that of NERF products such as footballs, blasters, and other products they've released over the decades.
