New Balance 430 Vintage
This week at AW LAB we inaugurate a new section of the blog: here every Friday we will elect the sneakers or the outfit of the week.
Stay up to date on the latest news and suggestion… stay tuned!
Today, we want to open with a historic brand currently with a very strong trend; we are, of course, talking about the New Balance 430 Vintage.
New Balance dates all the way back to 1906, and was established by an English immigrant in Boston, William J. Riley who wanted to help people with foot problems. Behind the name there seems to be curious anecdote. Riley was in fact fascinated by the fact that hens are able to maintain a perfect balance relying on only three claws. The first historical three-point sole was designed to provide maximum support at the heel, and the first and last metatarsi. New Balance models are really complete but we want to offer you today a really up-to-date sneaker with the latest trends combining the vintage feel and the running shoe.
The New Balance 430 is a perfect blend of these two ingredients, a shoe that looks like something out of a running catalogue from the 80s, a retro yet very current line.
The 430 is the new addition to the Spring Classics collection, 2014, a vintage silhouette with the "old running shoe" colour proposal and an emphasis on contrast.
The colour combinations are beautiful and refined:
New Balance 430 Vintage: grey / green / orange can be found here at the AW LAB COLLECTION
New Balance 430 Vintage: black / royal blue / red can be found here at the AW LAB COLLECTION
New Balance 430 Vintage: grey / red / lime green can be found here at the AW LAB COLLECTION
And finally, here are the product features:
Vintage suede uppers with nylon inserts
Nylon tongue with logo
Leather insert with logo on the side
Dual density EVA midsole
Logo and lettering on the heel
Carbon rubber carved outsole for added grip
See you next week!

"Go to the far side of the room. Pick up the phone and identify yourself. We will come and get you at the metal door." Thus, our speakeasy adventure in Seattle began on a hot Friday night. Interesting that speakeasies are, by nature, supposed to be secret and exclusive but they are trending all over social media these days. Needle and Thread, was recommended by several people at work, so off we went for a taste test. Reading up on the speakeasy protocol, I learned that you can call in advance to secure a RSVP in this very small (probably 20 people max) prohibition-style experience. Just calling to get the RSVP was fun-you leave a message (no more than 7 days in advance) after hearing the strict rules–if you are lucky enough to get a call back, you better actually PICK UP THE CALL to talk to the host or you won't get in. Done.
Promptly at 5 p.m. when the parent bar, Tavern Hall, opened, we were at the phone calling upstairs to gain entrance to the speakeasy, Needle and Thread. Dress code: "Keep it classy". Our drink master interviewed us on our cocktail/alcohol preferences as there is no menu and they warn you in advance not to expect an appletini to be made in their establishment. There ARE speakeasy standards after all and only custom cocktails served, thank you very much. Prepping for our trip to Ireland in the fall, I'm leaning into whiskey to be better equipped to take on the true Irish experience. Our host got it right, creating for me an iced cocktail created with Irish Bushmills whiskey, orange liqueur, cherry herring and lime juice. Tart and sweet and very refreshing on a hot day in a bar where ceiling fans provided the only air conditioning. Seattle speakeasies are the place to be!
Insider Tip
RSVP 206-325-0133 at least 7 days in advance to secure a seat in the speakeasy, Needle & Thread

Emergency Dental Care
planning for the unplanned
The nature of emergencies is that you don't know when they're going to happen. But we know that they do happen, and this is why we routinely leave appointments open for on-the-spot emergency dental care. If you need immediate care, please call and we will make a time for you.
what qualifies as an emergency?
You are the best judge of this, however pain and loss of function are the most common indicators that urgent care is required. Other symptoms that may require emergency dental care include:
Toothache and/or facial pain
Swelling of gums and/or face
Broken teeth, crowns, veneers, bridges or dentures
Lost dental filling or crown
Continuous bleeding from gums or tooth cavity
The best pain relief for dental issues is a combination of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, both of which are available over the counter. You may find them under brand names such as Panadol, Nurofen, Act 3 or Nuromol, or under the in-house chemist brand. Ask your pharmacist to recommend the appropriate dosage for your specific symptoms.
Swelling of gums and/or face is often caused by infection, so immediate assessment and care is paramount. Any associated pain can be managed as per the above section.
Broken teeth and/or lost fillings
A broken tooth or filling will often leave a sharp fragment which can irritate or cut the tongue or cheek. To help reduce irritation, use an emery board to file back the sharp point into a softer, rounded shape.
Stem bleeding by applying pressure on the area with a clean cloth or piece of gauze for 20 to 30 minutes. If bleeding persists, it is recommended that you go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
We hope none of our clients ever end up in the emergency chair. Our strong emphasis on continuing care is aimed at preventing emergency situations from happening in the first place.
For those who do come to us for emergency care, we firstly treat the urgent problem. Then, we endeavour to work with you on a roadmap to optimal dental health.

What is Designers Inbetween?
Designers Inbetween is a documentary that explores the entrepreneurial opportunities in Hong Kong, the world's third largest financial centre and uncovering the challenges faced when building a start-up company. It shows the real startup life; where the risk, hard work, and pressure challenges founders everyday.
Weaving together interviews from both ends of the spectrum, from a range of start ups to seasoned professionals discuss how they built their company and their lives as an entrepreneur in Hong Kong. Designers Inbetween has created an inspiring vision to educate designers and entrepreneurs on the ins and outs, ups and downs, successes and failures of starting and building a company.
In addition, the documentary also uncovers how the industry in Hong Kong contrasts from the West and the rest of Asia. Exploring exciting untold stories of what it is like for a Westerner to do business with factory owners in China. Business deals are built around lunch and written on napkins rather than lawyers and contracts.
Who are we?
Jonathan Ramalho and Oliver Lehtonen, are two European design students blown away by the pace of the city and the entrepreneurial spirit whilst on an exchange programme in Hong Kong.
Believing it was time that someone captured the phenomenal spirit, in order to motivate other young people and designers to explore the possibilities of entrepreneurship. This lead to an intensive bootstrapping adventure through Hong Kong's creative industries and into the wildness of China's manufacturing.Visa's having expired, the two had to leave and come back to Europe to complete their final year at university in Finland and the UK.
Having gone through the material, the realisation came that the team had something very special. However, the story was not complete. There were a number of influential and important people missing, including: Michael Young, the world famous product designer, VC Simon Squibb and a rare feature from Henry Steiner (the designer behind the HSBC logo). Having graduated and worked at a their placement, enough money was raised to travel back to Hong Kong to capture the missing pieces.
A couple of months after their first filming trip, Bloomberg filed a report acknowledging Hong Kong as the number one place to start a business: timing could not have been better.
Since 2013, the duo have met a number of influential and inspiring people, travelling all over Hong Kong, exploring factories in mainland China and capturing over 40 incredible interviews. Having caught the East's meets West fusion that has created the story behind Designers Inbetween.
Jonathan and Oliver need your backing to make this film a reality!
The Featured Storylines
Johan Persson - Founder of C´Monde Studios: Swede Johan Persson heads industrial design company C'monde Studios which has enjoyed continuous success from its base in Hong Kong. His career spans 15 years and sees Persson go from sneaker designer in Italy to becoming a managing and creative director in Hong Kong, eventually heading up his own studio. Johan is also known for his band, Poubelle International, that enjoys a reputation for being one of the best rock´n´roll bands in Hong Kong.
In the film, Johan shows us how ideas become a reality and takes us to a journey through the production process, including visits to factories in Shenzhen, China.
Josh Wright - CoFounder of Catalyst Lifestyle: After designing products for Microsoft, Ecko Unltd, Burton, Josh saw the opportunity to produce the first ever waterproof iPhone cases.
Paola Sinisterra - CoFounder of Tangram: After designing for Zara, Paola saw the opportunity to make a contemporary fashion label, creating beautifully functional clothing and accessories for women.
Including insights from:

Venue Sponsor and Launch Partner: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University: School of Design is to host the grand premiere at Zaha Hadid´s famous Innovation tower! You can join in on this exciting part of the journey on 5th of December with the fantastic addition of Designers Inbetween Kickstarter packages.
Why We Need Your Help
We have invested everything we have in all the filming, storylines and rough edits but in order to get the documentary finished through post production with a professional flair we can't do it alone, we need your help.
So far we have collected over 50 hours of footage, unravelling into inspiring and educational material; ranging from idea generation, to how to work with manufactures in China topped with insights on how to execute.
The money raised on Kickstarter will mean a professional production house can produce high quality post production with colour grading, sound processing and motion graphics and add a sound track (the right music is so important!). This will also allow us to make it our the documentary's first Global Premier!
Please share this Kickstarter and tell your friends about the Designers Inbetween project. Designers Inbetween hopes to teach and inspire designers and you dreamers who are out there!

The appearance and the function of the skin are maintained by an important balance between the water content of the stratum corneum and skin surface lipids.Exposure to external factors such as air humidity, ultraviolet radiation , temperature, as well as endogenous factors such as hormones,may disrupt this balance. In addition, frequent use of soap and topical irritants such as alcohol and hot water can remove the skin surface lipids.When this balance is disrupted,a dermatological condition known as dry skin ensues , a phenomenon that is observed particularly in patients with atopic dermatitis, a chronic and pruritic form of dermatitis.
Medicinal plants of the lily family (Liliaceae),genus ALOE,have been used for the treatment of skin diseases for more than 360 Aloe species, Aloe vera has been the most popular in both folk and official medicine.Many studies report the effective use of this plant when applied topically for the treatment of burns, sunburns,inflammatory skin disorders and wounds.
That is why we have came up with a cleanser that preserves the skin hydration, prevents the mentioned problems due to the disruptions of the balance between water content of the stratum corneum and skin surface lipids, and also benefits from the moisturizing and anti- inflammatory effects of Aloe Vera extract.
Syndet %100
Syndet base detergents are recommended for cleansing sensitive skin and even baby skin, as they are far more gentle and skin- friendly in comparison with traditional soaps because of their lower PH . Lilac ALOEVERA syndet bar has a PH of 5.5 -7 which is almost equal to skin's physiological PH so it preserves the skin's natural barrier.
Lilac ALOEVERA syndet bar has a PH of 5.5 – 7 which is almost equal to skin's physiological PH so it preserves the skin's natural barrier.

***UPDATED***: See "Version 0.3" notes below.
Have you ever wanted to access your WD TV from outside your home network? Now you can. This app will allow you to register your WD TV with dyndns.com so you can access it from anywhere using a URL like http://mywdtvlive.dyndns.org. Note that this allows access to internet functions only, such as the web browser, torrents, etc - if you want access to the screen you see on your TV, buy a Slingbox
Version 0.3:
* web frontend integration
* Added proxy connection on port 8081 for users whose ISPs block port 80 (i.e. regular web traffic)
Version 0.2:
* Moved cache to the ddclient directory so it persists between reboots
* Changed the ip address provider from checkip to dnspark, as checkip was frequently timing out
* Bug fix: rewrote the init script to check online.delayer; ddclient won't start until the internet interface is ready
Version 0.1:
Additionally, once you do this you can mount the hard drive of your WDTV in Windows Explorer as a regular drive; you can then drag and drop files from your computer to your WDTV hard drive even when you are away from home.
From the readme:
There are three steps to installing ddclient:
* sign up for a free dyndns account
* configure ddclient
* network configuration
DynDNS signup
If you do not already have an account with Dynamic DNS, sign up here:
ddclient configuration
ddclient can be configured through the web frontend. Click on the config link in the
ddclient icon and enter your dyndns information there.
Network Configuration
If you are skiled at setting up statically routed devices on networks, you can
simply forward the necessary ports and configure a static IP for your WD TV. If you
have no idea what I'm talking about, then read on.
In order to make this work you will need to tell your router to forward internet
traffic to your WDTV. Instructions on how to do this are here:
I suggest forwarding at least the following ports:
HTTP: port 80 (so you can get to the web interface
HTTPS: port 443 (for secure web traffic)
FTP: port 21
SSH: port 22
Reboot your WDTV. From a web browser, go to your dyndns domain. If you see the
regular web frontend screen, then everything is set up correctly.

Sleep extinguished.
Tear-soaked pillows.
The beginning of a headache.
The hands on the clock don't move.
She wonders if she can live through the pain.
Nothing to numb it.
All anesthetics forbidden by a decision made years earlier when the weight of grief was not yet calculated.
Prayers deficient.
She cannot pray. She will not kneel.
Why should she stoop to lie to a God who leaves her so alone?
Sleep won't come.
She tries to read. The same sentence.
Again and again and again.
Time has stopped.
It will be 3:34 AM forever.
She is hungry.
No, not hungry. But empty.
A glass slips from her hand.
She picks up the shards.
One pierces her left thumb leaving a gash that will become a scar that will bear witness to that endless night.
She sits on the kitchen floor.
Tears mix with the blood that seeps from her thumb.
She draws circles on the linoleum with her own blood.
She draws the sun to invoke the dawn.
She continues until there is no more blood – no more tears
and only then does she notice that the dawn has finally come.
Dawn Finally Arrived
Sleep extinguished.

"The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63)… "Christ is speaking of regeneration, which was the one great need of those who were offended at His teaching. They could not discern spiritual things till they had spiritual life, and for that they must be "quickened" by the Spirit of God. First, He told them who did the quickening — "the Spirit"; now He states what the Spirit uses to bring about that quickening — the "words" of God. The Spirit is the Divine Agent; the Word is the Divine instrument. God begets "with the word of truth" (James 1:18). We are born again of incorruptible seed, "by the word of God" (1 Peter 1:23). We are made partakers of the Divine nature by God's "exceeding great and precious promises" (2 Peter 1:4). And here in John 6:63 Christ explains how this is: the words of God are "spirit, and they are life" That is, they are spiritual, and employed by the Holy Spirit to impart life. Thus, we say again, The great need of today, as of every age, is the faithful preaching of God's Word; "not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" (1 Corinthians 2:4). What is needed is less anecdotal preaching, less rhetorical embellishment, less reliance upon logic, and more direct, plain, pointed, simple declaration and ex- position of the Word itself. Sinners will never be saved without this — "the flesh profiteth nothing"!" —A. W. Pink (1886–1952)

"The right of private judgment certainly does not mean that we are at liberty to bring the Word of God to the bar of human reason and sentiment, so that we may reject whatever does not commend itself to our intelligence or appeal to our inclinations. The Bible does not submit itself unto our opinion or give us the option of picking and choosing from its contents: rather is it our critic." —A. W. Pink (1886–1952)

An "Aging in Place Community" sometimes known as a "Campus of Care" model, can be described as a residence or group of residences, where more than one type of living and/or care option is offered on the same property. As more "Aging in Place Communities" are developed, individuals may choose to live in a community such as this in order to accommodate future service and care requirements should they arise. The options within an Aging in Place Community could include two or more of the following settings:
Example One:
Independent apartment or condo living (for those persons over 55 years of age) and Retirement Residence are located on the same property.
You or a loved one currently lives in an apartment. Over time, you find that you would benefit from having your meals prepared and perhaps housekeeping services. Since these services are offered in the Retirement Residence on the same property, the move may be easier due to the location as well as the having the same ownership/management of both living settings.
Example Two:
Retirement Residence and a Supportive Housing Residence are located on the same property.
You or a loved one currently lives in a Retirement Residence. Over time, you find that you would benefit from more services provided in a community setting. The move to a Supportive Housing Residence may be made easier due to the location as well as having the same ownership/management of both living settings.
Other Considerations:
Spouses sometimes require different care and or services at different times of their lives. Perhaps one spouse needs the 24 hour nursing care provided by a personal care home, but the other spouse is doing well in a Retirement Residence setting. In an Aging in Place Community, both of these options may be available on the same property or there may even be in two buildings connected together by a closed walkway. This would alleviate the caregiver burden that may be present, while providing an environment where the couple can still be together as much as they would like to.
In an "Aging in Place Community" a move to a different service and or care setting could occur while still maintaining the same circle of friends (and perhaps the staff) within the original setting. Even simple details such as being able to dine in the same location or attend recreational activities in a familiar area can make for an easier transition.

Epic Burritos™ Feature Epic Size and Flavors; Free Medium Drink With Purchase Nov. 11-20
LAKE FOREST, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2013) - Del Taco is about to make your day epic with the nationwide launch today of Epic Burritos™, three new premium burritos with epic size, flavors and value. Created to expand the choices for guests seeking larger, higher quality burritos with unique flavors, the new burritos range from 14.0 to 18.5 ounces in weight and are priced from $4.99. Del Taco is celebrating the launch by offering a free medium drink to guests who purchase an Epic Burrito™ between November 11 and 20, 2013 at participating locations.
Epic Burritos™ deliver unbelievable value for the level of freshness and quality of ingredients. The new burritos feature a new, more authentic tortilla with buttery flavor notes, and are served wrapped in a silver foil wrapper. Varieties include:
"Epic Burritos represent an epic change in Del Taco's menu strategy," said John Cappasola, chief brand officer, Del Taco, LLC. "Burritos have been reframed by fast casual competitors who have increased guest expectations around size, flavor and variety. With Epic Burritos, we are satisfying those expectations with the same freshness and value proposition that defines the Del Taco brand, but with the convenience of a drive thru and at a lower price point."
Following the August launch of the CrunchTada Tostada and CrunchTada Pizzas, Epic Burritos™ represent the next series of planned menu innovations that will deliver Del Taco's unmatched value for quality and freshness.
Epic Burritos™ are a natural fit for Del Taco's "UnFreshing Believable" brand advertising campaign, which was launched earlier this year to communicate the lengths to which the company goes to deliver quality, made-to-order menu items that taste better because they are created with freshly-prepared ingredients. Fresh ingredients such as cheddar cheese grated from 40-pound blocks throughout the day, hand-made pico de gallo salsa, hand-chopped tomatoes and cilantro, lard-free beans slow cooked from scratch and marinated chicken grilled in the restaurant are at the core of Del Taco's menu items and its brand promise.
About Del Taco
At Del Taco, all menu items taste better because they are made to order with fresh ingredients including cheddar cheese grated from 40-pound blocks, handmade pico de gallo salsa, lard-free beans slow-cooked from scratch, and marinated chicken grilled in the restaurant. The menu includes classic Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos as well as American favorites including hamburgers, crinkle-cut fries and shakes. Earlier this year, Del Taco announced a rebranding effort and the "UnFreshing Believable" advertising campaign to communicate the lengths the company goes to in order to deliver quality, made-to-order menu items created with freshly-prepared ingredients. Del Taco also serves breakfast featuring a full line of breakfast burritos. Del Taco has more than 545 restaurants in 18 states serving more than three million guests each week.

Does your dental office see children?
We love kids! Bender Dental Care offers appointments for patients of all ages, including young children. Your entire family is welcome in our Elgin office.
What is a drill free filling?
A drill-free filling uses air abrasion technology to prep the tooth and remove the superficial layer of decay. This eliminates the need to use a drill and allows Dr. Bender to place smaller, minimally invasive dental fillings.
Do you offer shot-free fillings as well?
Our drill free air abrasion fillings can usually be completed without any type of anesthesia. So yes – our drill free fillings can be shot and needle free as well!
Do you have any new patient specials?
Yes! All of our current specials offers are online for you to consider before making your first appointment with us.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace your missing teeth – but they aren't for everyone. Dr. Bender will need to take an x-ray and examine the area to determine whether or not you will be an ideal candidate for the tooth replacement.
What type of sedation do you offer?
Bender Dental Care offers nitrous oxide sedation upon request. You can use nitrous on anything as simple as a dental cleaning or more complex such as a root canal.
How can I replace my missing tooth?
Dental implant crowns, dental bridges and dentures can be used to replace missing teeth. We'll recommend as many options as possible, so that you can choose the one that is right for you.
Do I need a root canal?
Root canals are recommended on teeth that have had deep cavities, abscesses or previous trauma. Putting a root canal off too long may lead to no other options other than having the tooth extracted.
Are dental x-rays safe?
Absolutely. Dental x-rays use an extremely low dose of radiation that is less than you are exposed to when you take a trip on an airplane. Our Elgin family dentist uses digital x-rays to further reduce your radiation exposure.
What are symptoms of gum disease?
Gum disease is typically associated with swollen, bleeding, or receding gum lines. Some people may have bad breath and food packing between the teeth. Tooth mobility and tooth loss are seen in more advanced stages of the disease.
How can I prevent cavities?
We recommend scheduling a preventive cleaning every 6 months for early diagnosis of dental problems such as cavities. Our hygienists can also apply dental sealants and fluoride to protect your teeth and make them more resistant to decay.

The past couple of weeks, our team has been globetrotting to various eLearning conferences around the world including ATD Tecknowledge, the BETT Show, and Learning Technologies 2018 – and boy, have we been busy!
During the week of January 24th, we had team members attending two different conferences in time zones 8 hours apart, with ATD Techknowledge in San Jose, California and BETT Show in London, UK! The following week, our team was back in London for Learning Technologies 2018, one of the largest eLearning shows in the space and an incredible show overall. Here are some of the highlights from each!
San Jose, CA: ATD Techknowledge
Recently a couple of team members made the trek cross-country to San Jose, California for ATD Techknowledge. Our team had a great time learning about new trends in the industry, meeting with our amazing partners, seeing some familiar faces, and meeting new ones.
From our conversations with the attendees on the exhibit hall floor, one thing remains clear: the demand for an LMS for professional education is higher than ever.
Whether it is an organization who has never had an LMS, or one that has an LMS but is not happy with either a closed-source solution or a platform with limited functionality or support, the majority of the people we spoke with simply need more. That's where open-source technologies come into play – a point we can't hammer home enough – since open-source provides the most flexibility and encourages the highest level of support!
Another takeaway is the continued curiosity in xAPI and how it works within the learning ecosystem. Luckily for us, our fellow Baltimoreans and partner Yet Analytics were at the conference and available to help answer any xAPI-related questions.
All in all, we had some great conversations at ATD TK and want to send our thanks to everyone we met at the show, as well as the partners and clients we were able to catch up with during the event.
London: BETT Show & Learning Technologies 2018
The eThink team was in London for two weeks to attend the BETT Show and Learning Technologies 2018, two of the largest eLearning conferences across the pond. During our time in London, we had great conversation after great conversation with our partners and other companies in the space as well as attendees searching for eLearning solutions to meet their specific needs. But perhaps the most exciting highlight of our time in London was being able to represent Moodle alongside Moodle HQ!
Moodle HQ made a huge splash at Learning Technologies 2018. For the first time, Moodle exhibited at a conference – and boy was everyone at LT18 excited to stop by their booth to learn more about the world's most widely used learning platform!
It was great working alongside Moodle to help educate the conference attendees on the advantages of open-source technologies, as well as how Moodle continues to thrive and survive in the market with the help of Moodle Partners like ourselves.
At the show, Moodle also highlighted the Moodle Mobile App, which provides offline functionality to ensure eLearning remains accessible for all learners across the globe. Gavin Henrick of Moodle HQ also gave a great presentation on Moodle Mobile and how to make the most of it.
As a Certified Moodle Partner, eThink is incredibly excited to see Moodle HQ begin attending the world's leading eLearning and EdTech conferences to continue to educate the market on just how special the open-source platform is, and we look forward to working alongside HQ to spread their mission of empowering educators across the globe.
Overall, these conferences were packed with great conversations, great times, and exciting happenings to keep us looking to the future of eLearning.
Miss us at these shows? Catch us at a show below – or contact us. Let's chat!

Segment makes it easy to send your data to Iron.io (and lots of other destinations). Once you've tracked your data through our open source libraries we'll translate and route your data to Iron.io in the format they understand. Learn more about how to use Iron.io with Segment.
Getting Started
When you toggle on Iron.io in Segment, we'll start sending data to an IronMQ instance with data for your account. Currently, Iron.io supports all of the Segment methods, and will send data from any one of our libraries.
When sending data to Iron.io, we'll auto-fill a queue called "segment". You can use Iron.io as a message queue buffer in front of your webhook server or internal data processing cluster. For example, if you want to analyze your data as part of an ETL process, Iron.io can act as an intermediary buffer.
Here's a case study: How to Build an ETL Pipeline for ElasticSearch Using Segment and Iron.io (Iron.io's blog)
You can send computed traits and audiences generated through Segment Personas to this destination as a user property. To learn more about Personas, reach out for a demo.
For user-property destinations, an identify call will be sent to the destination for each user being added and removed. The property name will be the snake_cased version of the audience name you provide with a true/false value. For example, when a user first completes an order in the last 30 days, we will send an identify call with the property
order_completed_last_30days: true, and when this user no longer satisfies we will set that value to
When the audience is first created an identify call is sent for every user in the audience. Subsequent syncs will only send updates for those users which were added or removed since the last sync.

Why LGBT-Specific Treatment?
Up to 33% of the lesbian and gay population have difficulty controlling their drug or alcohol use. The percentage is higher for transgender individuals.
LGBT people are 2-4 times more likely to experience depression and anxiety than heterosexuals.
Many LGBT people remain closeted in mainstream treatment and healthcare settings, reducing potential success in these programs.
The negative effects of internalized homonegativity/heterosexism can be complex and when not dealt with can lead to a cycle or relapse.
We specialize in the treatment of substance abuse, sexual health, mental health issues and their manifestations within LGBT clients.
At PRIDE Institute, members of the LGBT community are affirmed and celebrated.
Alumni & Friends
Real Life. Real Support. Real Recovery. The Alumni and Friends group is a component of PRIDE Institute designed to foster a strong, healthy LGBT recovering community through friendships, community service, and sober events (like the Fruit Bowl). Alumni activities range from weekly support groups, social events, recovery oriented service opportunities, recovery speakers' bureau, shared hobbies, LGBT/HIV service work, and more.
Drug and Alcohol Self Assessment
Alcohol/Drug/Substance abuse, regardless of which drug it happens to be, can lead very quickly to dependence. Oftentimes, dependence develops without the realization that it is occurring. Do you wonder whether or not you have a problem with drug or alcohol abuse? Here are five questions that may help you look at your using behavior. Note: This self assessment is for information purposes only. It does not replace a formal evaluation by a medical or mental health professional.
Please call 800-547-7433 for a free phone evaluation with our admissions staff.
- Have you noticed a change in tolerance to your drug of choice (needing more or less of the drug to get the same desired effect or feeling less effect with the same amount)?
- Do you experience withdrawal symptoms (body aches, tremors, nausea, headaches, etc.) after stopping use, or use to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms?
- Have you noticed a loss of control around your substance use? Are you using substances in larger amounts or for longer periods of time than you intended?
- Have you tried, with little or no success, to control your substance use (making efforts to cut down, having rules around use, and/or bargaining with yourself to limit your use)?
- Has your time spent using substances increased (including getting the substance, using it, and recovering from its effects)?
If you use drugs or alcohol and can answer Yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from taking a closer look at your use. We provide the LGBTQ+ community with drug and alcohol rehab services.
Call Us 800-547-7433
How to Get Started
Listen to You
Everyone's circumstances are different. We value the voice and thoughts of each of our clients, so before we make any suggestions toward treatment, we take the time to listen to you first. Only by listening are we able to properly assess a course of treatment.
Look At Your Options
Everyone's road to recovery is unique. Our experienced admissions coordinators will help you select a one-of-a-kind, tailor-made treatment plan specifically designed for you or your loved one.
Schedule Your Visit
When you contact us, one of our knowledgeable admissions coordinators will assist you with all the details of scheduling an admission (health insurance verification, travel arrangements, etc.), making sure the transition into treatment is smooth and hassle-free.
PRIDE Institute accepts most major forms of insurance, self pay, and Minnesota state funding. We have worked with outside loan agencies, as well as provide financial counseling to help to eliminate this barrier to treatment. When considering paying for treatment, PRIDE Institute will help you understand your insurance co-pay and deductible if applicable. In addition, the staff can talk with you about Health Savings Accounts, borrowing against a retirement plan, or even a home equity loan to help cover costs for treatment. If you have any questions about payment options for our mental health services, please don't hesitate to contact us. Unfortunately because of our licensure, we do not accept Medicare or out of state Medicaid programs.
We work with most of the major health insurance providers

There is no need to cling to anything
Arise from sleep, old cat,
And with great yawns
And stretchings...
Amble out for love
Naito Joso
I woke up screaming in the middle of the night. Somehow, my cat had extended a sharp claw into the back of my neck. I looked back at the pillow to see her lounging where my head had been and it made me mad. I pushed her away and off the bed.
By morning, she was back at my side, attempting to lick my face, like always. She had no idea what she had done. I sighed and reached out to stroke her chin, my anger gone.
There is a cat, little Melba, at the Austin Zen Center, who loves to sit in the middle of the street. Cars come up to her and wait. Sometimes she moves. Sometimes the cars go around her. Whatever. She doesn't mind. Extend a hand or even kneel to take a picture and she will see you and want to talk. She is not bashful about expressing her desire for affection. I love this about her.

Cece Hedrick joined the Unidata Program Center (UPC) team on October 16th, 2017 as a software developer. Her first day at the office coincided with the joint meeting of Unidata's Users' and Strategic Advisory Committees, so … we pretty much threw her in the deep end of the pool. On the bright side, Cece got an instant introduction to the community we're working for.
Cece studied astrophysics and computer science at the University of Nebraska. As an astronomer she has worked in a wide range of research categories from supermassive black holes, circumstellar disks, and symbiotic stars to the Martian atmosphere as part of NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter mission. As a computer scientist she has also explored a wide range of research topics, such as, bioinformatics, modeling and simulation for war gaming, and user experience/human computer interaction within the learning sciences. As a software developer, Cece has previously worked on military secure messaging and data transfer solutions, cable television software product continuous integration, and space weather prediction and analysis software.
Cece joined the Unidata team because, she says, "I'm really excited to work on the mission of creating tools that make the process of doing earth science research faster and easier for scientists. It is cool to think I can help scientists crush science, while I crush software."
Starting off at Unidata, Cece is focusing on a joint project with the University of Miami: Drawing Rich Integrated Lat-lon-time Samples from Datasets Online into Working Notebooks (DRILSDOWN). The project aims to expose the data management and visualization features of the Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) via python and the Jupyter notebook interface.
Please join us in welcoming Cece to the Unidata Program Center Team!

Why we exist
Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it.
-Frances Wright
Studies estimate that roughly 12% of the world's poorest population does not have access to information and communication technologies (ICTs). About 45% of the world has access to ICTs but is not online due to affordability or a lack of skills and awareness. 20% of this group lives in the world's most vulnerable countries.
We want to bring these numbers down. Addressing the main obstacles preventing people from having access to and using ICTs is our main focus.Read more about the problem we are trying to solve
The Team
Pollien van Keulen
Pollien has a background in both commercial business as well as volunteer organisations and fundraising. Finding both very interesting, her true passion has always been the latter. The fulfillment of working on setting up a small foundation devoted to fundraising for educational projects for children, eventually resulted in her leaving her job in business development to join the 48percent bandwagon as project leader for setting up the foundation.
Mark Vletter
While doing volunteer work in Haiti in 2003, Mark witnessed what a lack of access to Information and Communication Technologies does to a country and it's people. It was there that he was first inspired to devote his work to enhancing access to free communication.

Grace Church DR Mission Trip 2017/
Grace Church Day One, Thursday
Day One (?) is in the books. All of our travel from church to JFK to DR was uneventful and smooth. We arrived to the Santo Domingo airport and were greeted by Benjamin, who served as our host all day. We settled into the hotel and then went out to the market for shopping and lunch. Afterwards we walked the Colonial Zone, stopped at the Chocolate Museum and then ate dinner at a restaurant in the Capital. We went to the supermercado to buy food to make lunch for 100 people at tomorrow's event. After rehearsing the drama, we all turned into bed to catch up on our sleep. We are tired but excited about being here and what all we will do the next 10 days. Pray for a good night's sleep, health and an openness to God's voice.
Each day a different member of the team will write a wrap up of that day's events and any prayer requests we have. Tune in tomorrow night.

rusty-mattis - August 15, 2018
There is a good reason I have no idea where supermodels vacation. Because I'd never leave. I know the supermodels would be there only a brief period of time, but if knew what beach Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor were at together, wearing some super sexy bikinis I would live there forever.
I honestly mean I would sit on the sand, watch Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor in bikinis, they would leave, and then I would be too stunned to move. I would be overcome with joy or happiness or whatever feelings one has when seeing Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor in bikinis in real life. It would be like Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor and their hot bodies would turn me into stone. I know that sounds bad, but if you gotta get turned into stone that how I want it to happen. Thankfully I have little desire to travel. I would be in real danger, real sexy danger, but danger none the less.
Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor together in pictures is almost too much sexiness for me to handle. I know it's a risk, but damn it, it's a risk we are all willing to take. Olivia Culpo and Devon Windsor together in bikinis is a sight we all should see at least once in our lives. Though, twice is better. And the third time is pretty great as well. Fourth time... you know.

I have always loved a really good chicken salad sandwich, but I'm also super picky. (Um, yes, as much as I hate to admit it, there is likely a reason my son, Joe, is quite particular about his food.) The recipe has to have just the right amount of celery, onion and mustard. Too much of any of those things, and I'll nix it. I also tend to like my chicken salad simple and classic – nothing weirdly different or fancy in it.
Sarah over at one of my favorite blogs, Nurse Loves Farmer, hits just the right mix for me. Her chicken salad is definitely one of the best I've made – and it's a huge hit with Teacher Man. He requests it all the time.
Incidentally, if you haven't checked out Sarah's blog, I hope you'll head over there to say hello. Sarah lives in Canada with her farmer husband and two adorably cute little boys. I've never met Sarah in person, but we've connected through our involvement with Ask The Farmers, a blog and social media community that aims to answer your questions about anything farming.
Sarah is also a nurse and I love the way she tackles issues and misinformation about food and agriculture head on – she does her research and writes thoughtful blog posts. And given her family life, work life, and her own blog life, I'm in awe of everything she gets done!
Now, back to the reason for #TurkeyTuesday: the turkey salad recipe.
This recipe is equally fabulous using turkey breast tenderloins instead of chicken breasts. And my trick to pulling this recipe together really quickly? I will take a few minutes a day or two before and bake the turkey tenderloins (or chicken breasts) ahead of time and just stick them in the refrigerator to use later.
(Quick and easy baking instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then line a baking pan with foil. Lay the turkey tenderloins on the pan and cook for about 20-25 minutes for 1-1.25 pounds of turkey or chicken. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the pieces reach 165 degrees and you're set. No fuss – no muss.)
You could also cut up a rotisserie chicken or turkey breast, or use the pre-cubed frozen chicken breasts you find in the freezer section of your grocery store, but I think cooking the breast pieces above is just as easy and it allows you to cut the turkey to your desired chunk size. (For me and this salad recipe, this means small chunks.)
You can view Nurse Loves Farmer's original recipe here. I follow it pretty closely – unless I don't have green onions on hand. If that's the case, I chop up a small amount of yellow or white onion, which is a decent substitute. I also use a slightly different seasoning than the original recipe calls for, mainly because it's what I have in my pantry.

Some people are adverse to setting goals, no matter how hard they try. There is something inside them that makes it overwhelming or difficult or just downright annoying. Maybe it's the structure and discipline of it or maybe it's the time it takes to sit and write them down. Does this sound familiar to you? If so, don't worry. You can set yourself up for success without the need to go through the hard labor of setting goals.
One thing about goals is once we write them down, we now have a visual thrust in our face to remind us that we've succeeded or failed. It's the "failed" part that pushes some folks away. In order to steer clear of the stigma and effort of setting goals, try setting up systems instead. What is a system, you ask? It is nothing more than supplies and conveniences that you will need to accomplish what you set out to accomplish.
A System I Use:
When drinking coffee made my stomach upset and gave me horrible heartburn, I resolved to drink tea in the mornings instead. I wrote down a goal; drink less coffee. So I went out and bought boxes of green tea and rooibos tea and placed them in my pantry. And every morning I woke up, headed to the kitchen…and poured myself a steaming hot mug of coffee. Thirty minutes later, I was trying to extinguish the red hot fire in my throat and battling the disgusting taste of nausea. This went on for weeks until one day, my wife (genius that she is) purchased a Breville Tea Maker for me and several boxes of various organic teas. These were stacked high on the counter in plain sight, right next to the tea maker. Guess what happened after this simple system was set up? Yep, I started drinking more tea and yes, less coffee. Goal achieved!
What went wrong?
A number of things. First, I didn't realize how strong a hold the clutches of coffee had me in. It is not about the caffeine with me because I can stop and not feel the side effects that some people do. It is more about the experience; something strong and aromatic, the touch of a warm mug between my hands, the morning ritual I was doing for years. That was a hard habit to break. Also, I put my tea in the pantry, which was out of sight and out of mind. Walk in my kitchen and quickly you are greeted by the coffee maker. In sight, in mind. And in sight, in mind wins just about every time.
The brilliance of my wife's idea, and trust me she put much thought into this, was that the tea maker was very similar to the coffee maker. It sits on the countertop. It brews tea much like the coffee maker brews coffee, so I still get something strong and aromatic. Still get the touch of a warm mug between my hands. And still get the same morning ritual that I had for years. I do still drink coffee, just not nearly as much as I used to and I feel much better because of it.
What you can do:
Think of something you want to accomplish. Write down the tools/supplies you'll need to achieve it. Then go out and get those supplies and put them in a spot that ensures you'll see them, have easy access to them and most importantly, use them. Break it down into small bites so that it isn't overwhelming. If you want to spiralize vegetables to cut carbs and eat more veggies then:
-Go and buy a spiralizer.
-Wash the spiralizer so it is ready to go
-Put the spiralizer on your counter / cooking area in plain view
-Purchase the veggies you want to spiralize
-Spiralize a veggie for your next meal (or multiple veggies). Put some in the refrigerator so you have for a meal the following day
-Repeat as often as you'd like (daily, weekly?)
-Mission accomplished!
Summing it up:
Even though I wrote down the goal to drink less coffee, it was not until I implemented a system that I actually achieved my goal. When that simple system was put into place, the problem was solved. So if setting goals is unpleasant and if success is eluding you, try setting up a system instead. It can be used for just about anything and is an easy and guaranteed effective way to achieve success!

Jamba Juice Moves to More Planet-Friendly Cup for Smoothies
Jamba Juice Moves to More Planet-Friendly Cup for Smoothies
Jamba® Eliminating Use of Styrofoam Cup Across Entire System
EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jamba Juice Company (NASDAQ; JMBA), a leading healthy, active lifestyle brand with over 750 stores across the U.S., announced today that the Company has begun introducing a new, more ecofriendly cup to hold its popular smoothies. The Company began rolling out the new cup in several markets in June and will have eliminated the use of Styrofoam cups across its entire system by the end of 2013.
Jamba has spent several years researching materials that would be more friendly to the environment than Styrofoam while still having the strength to support Jamba's rich, thick smoothies. The Company tested several options before landing on an innovative paper design that successfully meets this need. Many materials currently used to make beverage cups will lose their integrity within several minutes of containing a thick, frozen drink such as a smoothie. Jamba's new cup maintains its structure, is made from renewable materials, and provides a superior customer experience.
"We have spent several years researching a solution that would allow us to move away from the Styrofoam cup, while still offering a quality product to our consumers," said Jamba Juice chairman, president and CEO James D. White. "As a Company with a strong concern for people and the planet, we continually seek to improve our environmental footprint across all areas of our business, and our move to this innovative paper cup is a major milestone in these efforts. I am proud of the hard work our team has put forth over the past few years in finding a more viable solution for our cups."

Detrol Side Effects
Headache, dry mouth, and constipation are the most common side effects that have been reported with Detrol. Problems that are less common (occurring in 1 to 4 percent of people) include fatigue, diarrhea, and drowsiness. Certain side effects of Detrol, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and require immediate medical attention, such as difficulty passing urine, a fluttering sensation in your chest, and severe constipation.
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Detrol® (tolterodine tartrate); however, not everyone who takes the drug will experience problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can be treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Detrol. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Detrol has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and are then compared to those that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
In these studies, the most common Detrol side effects included:
- Dry mouth -- in up to 35 percent of people (see Detrol and Dry Mouth)
- Headaches -- up to 7 percent
- Constipation -- up to 7 percent (see Detrol and Constipation)
- Dizziness or a spinning sensation (vertigo) -- up to 5 percent
- Abdominal pain (stomach pain) -- up to 5 percent.
Other common side effects, occurring in 1 to 4 percent of people, included:
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Flu symptoms (such as fever, chills, or body aches)
- Diarrhea
- Indigestion or heartburn
- Painful urination
- Dry skin
- Joint pain
- Drowsiness
- Weight gain (see Detrol and Weight Gain)
- Infection
- Dry eyes
- Problems focusing the eyes.

The new development aid donors4 min read . Updated: 22 Nov 2010, 07:36 PM IST
The new development aid donors
The new development aid donors
The world of official development assistance has been undergoing significant churn during the past decade. In the 1990s, almost 95% of all official assistance came from members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which has traditionally comprised developed countries. In recent years, however, a steady stream of new aid providers has emerged. While China has already marked its significant presence in Africa, besides in a number of other low-income and least developed countries, the entry of South Korea in DAC earlier this year should be regarded as yet another important landmark.
The emergence of new aid donors has raised a number of very interesting issues that can have far- reaching implications for improving the level of aid effectiveness. Importantly, the South Korean government has taken a major initiative to debate these issues by setting up a multi-stakeholder forum, the Asian Cooperation Dialogue Meeting. This initiative is even more significant given that the country would be hosting, in December 2011, the Fourth High Level Forum (HLF-4) on Aid Effectiveness organized by the OECD DAC Working Party on Aid Effectiveness, a forum of donors and recipients.
Besides issues concerning the ownership and accountability of aid transactions as well as more transparent and responsible delivery of aid, HLF-4 would deliberate on the interesting dimension of south-south cooperation in the realm of aid. This dimension of HLF-4 would deal with adapting aid effectiveness principles to south-south cooperation practices and enriching aid effectiveness from south-south cooperation experiences, besides identifying complementarities between north-south and south-south cooperation.
The available evidence on development assistance between southern partners indicates that beefing up of soft infrastructure has dominated this form of cooperation. While this has mostly taken the form of capacity building programmes, initiatives that can have larger pay-offs—such as collaboration in the area of science and technology—have been few and far between. North-south cooperation is also undergoing a change with the advanced countries entering into partnerships with the emerging economies to provide development assistance to the least developed countries.
As new donors increasingly look to complement the advanced countries, a number of issues may be raised as to whether the participation of the former would indeed improve aid effectiveness. In the first instance, the nature of the engagement of the new donors with their recipients would be watched with interest, in particular whether their motivations for engagement are different from those of advanced countries, most of which were driven by overt commercial interests. This aspect becomes more relevant in view of the fact that some of the large donors from among the developing countries, including China, seem to have been clearly driven by strategic and commercial considerations in their engagement with many of their partners. In other words, the donors use development assistance to gain additional markets for their goods and services, thus raising the spectre of "tied aid".
A more fundamental issue is the prioritization of areas in which donors need to provide assistance. This issue is vitally important for the developing countries since a number of their development projects tend to fall by the wayside as commercial lenders find these projects unviable. In other words, there is evidence of "market failure".
For most developing countries, the issue on top of the pile is poverty alleviation. This has not received the necessary backing even after it was included in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2000. In fact, the lack of effectiveness of poverty alleviation programmes has been exposed in no uncertain terms as the number of people living in extreme poverty (i.e. those living on less than $1.25 a day) is expected to increase by 64 million as a result of the economic downturn. Importantly, the recently held Seoul summit of the Group of Twenty countries has emphasized that the problem of extreme poverty can only be addressed by ensuring consistently high levels of inclusive growth in developing countries, and low-income countries in particular. Putting their intent into practice would be a multi-year plan for development that was agreed at the end of the summit. But while the implementation of this plan has largely been left at the door of a multitude of agencies, it seems imperative that the new donors take a proactive role in identifying the projects that can deliver. By doing so, some of these donors lsuch as China and South Korea can bring to the table their own development experiences that have enabled these countries to emerge as world powers.
In terms of sectors that have longed for quality development assistance, agriculture is way ahead of any other. In many developing countries, especially in the low-income countries, agriculture is the mainstay for a very large segment of the workforce. However, opportunities available for this workforce are steadily shrinking as the sector is caught in a low-productivity trap. Addressing the institutional and infrastructural deficits that have mired the sector needs immediate attention, which is possible through assured aid commitments.
