Chatbot, Mobile App, Website| UX Design, Product Design, Content writer | June 2016 - January 2018
GoPawty is a chatbot for users to get personalised content to manage their pup's life effortlessly. It revolves around 4 primary needs - Scheduling, Training, Tracking and Networking. It aims to help users achieve a good balance in their pups life and sends them recommendations based on various factors like age, breed, activity level, medical conditions.
GoPawty was first conceptualised as a mobile app, the transition from App to chatbot raised many questions and ideas for maintaining consistency and creating a user friendly design. In terms of content creation for the Bot - There are different methodologies for training, catering to existing medical conditions, preventative care and recommended schedule. Equipping this app to take into consideration the owners calendar and availability and understanding their mindset in terms of providing for their dog often involved too many parameters to return a simple yes or no result for queries.
- Translate a Mobile App into a Chatbot while retaining essential functionality.
- Scope potential user flows along with edge cases and drop off points for users engaged in the ChatBot experience.
- Compare and combine features that increase usability to create a cohesive yet simple User Experience.
- Determine feature sets that will be scheduled for future versions and those that are required for creating a Minimum Viable Product.
My Roles on This Project
My experience in volunteering at the Seattle Humane (S.H.) and being a dog owner helped me recognise the need for an integrated social platform. I conceptualised a mobile app with a minimalist interface and created a Chatbot for users to receive personalised solutions in real-time. Collaborated with volunteers at S.H. to develop engaging content for the chatbot while parallely testing the product with target groups.
Ideation & Planning
Listing features according to build capability and shortlisting features required for creating an MVP were paramount in the initial phase. A mindmap of all features was made along with a basic wireframe of the app with all features. The App was then scaled down to the MVP requirements and a Lo-fidelity prototype was created on Axure.
Mobile app vs Chat Bot
A mobile App is very different from a Chatbot. Comparing the quantitative and qualitative differences between an App and a ChatBot made our decision making process a lot easier.
While ChatBots required an initial on boarding education on where the menu and account options were located, its reach across the target demographic was better. What it lacked was an interface that was easy for the user to interact with. The aim is to make GoPawty a friendly messenger app that acts as a scheduler for managing your dog's life. Receiving inputs via messaging is a friendlier solution especially when expanding to a NLP based bot in its later stages.
Initial Decisions: What Type of ChatBot Should we build for v1.0?
The prime factors that influenced this decision of a conversational vs linear type of Bot were Existing Infrastructure, Developmental capacity, study of various scenarios and edge cases and a study of current bots in the conversational sphere. While the prospect of creating an NLP based bot was more futuristic and appealing, the current needs for v1.0 were more accurate y satisfied by a conversational but streamlined bot.
Fluid | Decision Engine vs Linear | Hard Coded
Early on we chose the linear option for v1.0 of the ChatBot
Planning: Locking down an MVP + The Scope of v1.0
After mapping a comprehensive set of potential conversation flows, a meeting scheduled with the development team to discuss scope, level of effort, and feasibility for v1.0. Based on our decisions, some of the more advanced functionality that was not required for the MVP was moved out and slated for development in the future.
Linear Responses + Conditional Logic
Advanced, Conditional logic was removed from the MVP and slated for a future version
Brand Guidelines
Creating a subtle tone of voice is a primary need for a ChatBot. GoPawty focuses on a clear yet friendly approach that Involves a few "pet-friendly" phrases. Introducing subtle dog references emphasizes the tone and brand of the Bot. The MVP version is set out as a Facebook messenger Bot, however future versions once a critical number of onboarded users is reached, the Bot is to be migrated to achieve greater functionality.
Creating a Branding and Voice guideline established the tone and interaction story points for the ChatBot. Defining strong brand colors and creating tonal values and color guidelines helped establish brand identity and color.
Messaging Flow: Message Triggers + Category Types
Messaging fell into distinct categories in a Linear flow. Introductory Actions or Message triggers that prompts a user for data/choice. System Actions that triggers an action when a secondary action takes place. User actions triggers when the user completes an app action.
Intro Actions + System Actions + User Actions
Facebook Messenger Bot
Version 2.0
v2.0 aims at breaking away for the Facebook Messenger interface to create a Bot that exists similar to a web based ChatBot that is linked via a unique site - particular to the GoPawty Brand. It aims at creating a Bot that is NLP based, has a Fluid decision engine and applies conditional logic. It also aims at developing the product to fit price plans that can be purchased based on features and aims to combine the best aspects of app and bot design.
Note: The above mockups are for representation purposes and design/prototyping is still in progress.

Hanover boy honored for life-saving actions during fire
By Natalie Ornell, The Patriot Ledger
There's a new honorary deputy fire sheriff in Hanover. And he's just 6.
Fire officials said Helber Nunes Jr.'s quick actions were lifesaving to his parents and others when he responded to an electrical fire which started in his room on Sunday, March 29, our news partners at the Patriot Ledger report.
Helber was named a "Young Hero" and "honorary deputy sheriff" at Hanover's fire station Saturday becoming the 312th Young Hero in the state. The award is part of Massachusetts' Student Awareness of Fire Education Program.
Helber woke up to smoke in his bedroom, quickly left, woke his parents, and they safely evacuated. Fire officials say the family may have been trapped without Helber's actions.
"He came into my room at 6 a.m. and said 'mommy, my room is on fire," said Megan Nunes, Helber's mom.
"He was that calm," she said. "If he hadn't woken us up it could have been so much worse."
She said she was thrilled that her son was named a Young Hero. The family is staying with relatives until their home is repaired.
"I knew it was a fire. I ran out of my room," said Helber.
Helber took many bows as he received a special cap, Young Hero T-shirt, plaque, and toys similar to the ones that burned in his room.
Asked if he was excited to receive the award, he said, "Kinda!" with a big grin on his face.
Helber eventually dropped his cap on the floor and had to pick it up again with a loud "oops" from all the bowing he did in front of a crowd of family, friends, and fire officials.
Brian Joyce of the Department of Fire Services said the word "hero" is often tossed around loosely but that Helber fit the bill.
"Children often hide," said Joyce. Joyce said many children in the midst of a fire don't wake up and notify their parents like Helber did.
Hanover Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard and Deputy Fire Chief Barbara Stone spoke at the awards ceremony along with Plymouth County Sheriff Joe McDonald. Stone called Helber's actions "lifesaving,"
"I heard about Helber's actions on the radio. He did a great service for his family but the greatest thing is all the people who get to hear about how important it is to have functional smoke detectors," said McDonald.

Let it go
Erase from your memories……
Who said you can't do that?
Time helps
It will be gone without a trace
Found this little note when trashing stuff in drawer
But it means nothing to me now……
I have something old but function very well. Tried to donate. Thought it's better than just trash it. So I checked with that charity group to see if they were interested in. Got a reply very quick.
"as we collect and only redistribute to the underprivileged community without reselling any pieces for profitable gain, and we hire trucks, driver, labours to operate, do you mind us asking a couple hundred dollars collection fee to cover the operation costs (half for the logistics, tolls & parkings, and half for the labour etc)?"
So you donate stuff under that condition you have to collection fee as well but the collection fee is much more expensive than calling a van for delivery. I don't like that bundle. And I don't like that group now.

The decision to paint the door green was not spur-of-the-moment. It'd begun when she'd moved to a new neighbourhood, the kind where people craned their necks to see you over the fence but wouldn't speak with you until there was a need. It was the kind of street where people would assess you, then rush indoors and begin gossiping. If they didn't chatter, they'd drip-feed information to everyone else with text messages and emails, hushed tones through car windows and over outdoor-cooking served on paper plates.
It was a far cry from her old place, where people had all but packed themselves into the new house to unpack, and baked goods lined the kitchen benches.
Now, the door stood out, violently against the soft white of the house, tacky door-knocker in a gleaming silver dead-centre. This was a street with sensible gray and white doors, or if someone was very adventurous, blue. Navy, of course, the better to offset the house tones and complement the houses on either side.
Already the neighbours had begun to chatter; she could see it as she cleared her mail and took delivery of the new kitchen appliances. Across the street she could see curtains twitching, and two different people kept darting out of their houses to look again, as if that would change the colour of the door.
After a few days, the dam broke. She'd known it was coming, and baked cookies especially. Luckily, the kitchen was notably close to the door, and as she opened it she could almost feel the scent of fresh-baked cookies drifting out to her neighbour, who sniffed appreciatively, albeit tentatively. That, combined with a cup of coffee, proved irresistible.
The news spread quickly that their odd neighbour with the green door was an excellent baker, and knew her way around a coffee machine. People began to drop in every day, for coffee and cake, for tea and tarts.
As she closed the door after her latest visitor, she brushed away a few flakes of chipping green paint and cleared the table. The plan had worked – making people so keen to complain that they hadn't given much thought to beyond the surface, then reeling them in with something they liked.
Really, it worked all around. She got a steady group of companions; they got a steady supply of baking.
Perfect practice for the bakery/cafe she intended to open.

Wild Beauty was composed in response to The North Country National Scenic Trail; the longest in the National Trails System, stretching 4,600 miles over 7 states from the middle of North Dakota to the Vermont border of New York. Approximately 500 miles of the Trail meander through Michigan's Upper Peninsula where live and have spent many happy hours exploring stretches of the Trail.
Wild Beauty divides into five sections: Morning Chorus, Waves, Fog, Dancing in the Rain and Sunset. One of the most dramatic features of our region is the unpredictable weather patterns. One can experience many varieties of weather on the same day; from fog to rain to spectacular winds creating even more spectacular waves along our lakeshore. I have reflected on this from my own personal experiences and tried to capture this in Wild Beauty.
A second feature of the region is the unique chorus of bird songs that are an ever-present underscore to any hike on the Trail. In Wild Beauty,I have included a few of these songs including the white throated sparrow that opens the piece in the violin as well as the songs of the common loon, barred owl, chickadee, and the white crowned sparrow.
Finally, I invited the audience to take part in the performance of this piece. Members of the audience were invited to join in with bird calls to share in completing the soundscape of the morning chorus that opens the piece creating what I hope an immersive experience.

What is paying off, the coping skills learned during my post-accident speech and occupational therapy rehab. Thank you Shari and Lisa! Lists are made. The boxes upon boxes of stuff that will go with us to the event are organized, much like packing a home, where they will live once they get there.
The food is ordered. We had our final run through with the manager on Tuesday and Tewksbury staff will take care of the snacks and beverages. My husband will pick up the cookies, cupcakes and doughnuts day of, then all we have to do is set that up! Easy peasey.
The décor is taken care of. Thanks to the wonderful and talented Cassandra Boyd who provided us with fabulous direction, the venue should look beautiful. My husband (the crafty one) is putting the finishing touches on all the decor. Now all we have to hope is that all the measurements we took were correct and that when we get there Thursday we just have to plop everything is place. We have less than 3 hours to put everything up. We have been assured this is more than enough time.
The giveaways are in process. Swag bags are prepped and ready to go. Fun swag guys!! Also, great door prizes folks! There are two wine baskets (a red and a white), two gift certificates (one for a reading with me and another from WillowLight), access to and materials for The Basics of Mediumship Online Classes, a complete set of One (book, workbook and CD), AND the Grand Prize of a Kindle Fire with One on it. These baskets are almost ready to go – unfortunately waiting on a couple items to come in. For example, the Kindle I proudly displayed on Instagram… that went back. Why? A new Kindle Fire was released the next day. Can't give an old version away!! So we are just waiting on that.
Most importantly, the books are in! I even ordered a few more copies…
As you can see, pretty much all the aspects of the party I have control over are completed. The rest is in Spirit's hands. What does that entail?
Shoes… It's a silly thing, but while I've got my party dress, I haven't found shoes yet. That's not entirely true, I do have a pair that will work. But, I have a vision in my head of the pair I want that would complete the outfit. What am I looking for? A pair of white and blue floral print pumps. I've looked but haven't found them yet. If you see me in them on Thursday, you'll know Spirit worked its magic.
Flights… My dad and stepmother are flying in from Florida for the soiree. I'm excited, but have a little worry as their flight arrives on Thursday a little after 12noon. I'm not anticipating any problem or delay with the flight, but you never know and since we have a tight schedule and need to be at the venue around 3pm to set up… here is hoping everything is on time. And of course, we do have a Plan B – which reminds me I should let that person know he is Plan B!
Weather… For any event, especially one that plans on having part of the event outdoors, this is always a concern. While rain won't kaput the event as we do have ample indoor space, we have hired an extra bartender and plan on having a bar outside on the wharf allowing folks to enjoy the view of River Works and the River Fest Park. Not only that, for any of the kids that are attending we have bubbles, crayons, a hula hoop and balls to entertain them which would be hard to use indoors. So, while right now the forecast says Partly Cloudy, I'm praying to my Weather Guides that it stays that way.
I'm not going to think too long about these concerns, because I'm sure it will be fine and that Spirit has my back. And, for those of you versed in the Law of Attraction, you know that worrying about those concerns makes it more likely they will occur. If nothing else, the day is going to be perfect!
Hope you are able to join us, if you aren't… tune in to Facebook Live. I will be Live Streaming periodically throughout the day in preparation for the event and throughout the evening.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — There are two ways, and only two, to watch a football game, according to the Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jackie Slater.
If a team's offensive line is porous, he said, he focuses on the line of scrimmage, wondering from where the defensive pressure will come, because it's difficult to pay attention to anything else. But if the line is stout, he concentrates instead on the quarterback, then the play as it unfolds.
"When I've been watching the Rams, I've been watching the quarterback a whole lot," Slater said. "I think most other people are, too. And that's what they want to watch. That's what makes the Rams so appealing."
Across his two decades with the Rams, Slater took pride in compelling people to watch the quarterback. He now marvels at a team that has rushed for the most yards in the N.F.L., passed for the fourth most and scored more points than every other team but the Kansas City Chiefs, all behind a beastly offensive line.
The Rams' five players up front synchronize blocks that spring running back Todd Gurley through chasms and ward off blitzers so quarterback Jared Goff can throw to a cadre of dynamic receivers. That has fueled the franchise's best start since 1969 — 8-0, heading into Sunday afternoon's game at New Orleans — and optimized the viewing experience for the best offense in the N.F.C.
"You see it around the league all the time: All these skill positions can be erased without a good line — they can't get the ball, they can't get rid of the ball, they can't run with it," Goff said recently, sitting at a picnic table outside the Rams' facility here. "When I see a pressure that's hard to pick up and no one ever gets close to me, I sit back there nice and clean and look good throwing the ball — that's all everyone's going to see. But I know, and we all know, how hard it is up there."
The Rams' line, graded the most efficient at pass blocking by Pro Football Focus, is a hodgepodge of talent that reflects the team's priorities: intelligence and athleticism, savvy centers and powerful tackles who understand the geometry of the sport, and guards who can dominate on the line but also block in space. They are linemen who, as General Manager Les Snead put it, can get in the way and then stay in the way.
The line consists of holdovers acquired through the draft, like left guard Rodger Saffold and right tackle Rob Havenstein; free-agent splurges like the two-time All-Pro left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who played his first 11 seasons in Cincinnati, and center John Sullivan, who played for Rams Coach Sean McVay in Washington and has been instrumental in easing Goff's transition; and a waiver claim, Austin Blythe, who supplanted the suspended Jamon Brown at right guard for the first two games and never relinquished the job.
The same five players have started all eight games this season, and four of those five started the first 15 games of last season, too. That continuity allows the Rams to make dummy calls at the line of scrimmage, drawing defenders offside or, as the NFL Network analyst Shaun O'Hara speculated, fooling them into expected the inverse of an actual call, like a run instead of a play-action pass.
The line's stability is also revealed by the synchronicity of the linemen's movements — in the lateral steps they take when run-blocking so that Gurley, the league's leading rusher, can find a crease and zip through it. According to Football Outsiders, the Rams rank first in adjusted line yards, a statistic it developed to measure offensive line performance by isolating its impact on a running play.
"Remember those videos where people did a flash mob?" O'Hara, a three-time Pro Bowl center who spent most of his playing career with the Giants, said in a telephone interview. "Everybody starts dancing and wow, all of a sudden, everyone's on the same page. They didn't say anything. They just played the music and everybody knew. Nobody was stepping on each other's feet. When you look at the Rams, they all have the same footwork, everybody's got the same fluid motions."
The Rams' proficiency on first downs diversifies their options: No team averages more yards rushing (5.7) or passing (11.5) on first-and-10 than the Rams do. Their efficiency prevents unfavorable down-and-distance situations, in which defenses can expect a pass.
"Sometimes we just explode, and it feels like we're unstoppable," Saffold said. "But that's because all 11 guys know what they're doing all the time."
That awareness is a central principle of McVay's philosophy. Coaches are only as good as what the players know and thus can do. The best-designed plays can implode if a player forgets a detail. Before last season, McVay's first as coach, the offensive linemen recognized they were not being coached so much as being taught.
In his 13th season, Whitworth said he had yet to encounter a scheme that placed greater responsibilities on an offensive line because of the "mental gymnastics" demanded. The personnel in McVay's offense rarely changes (one running back, one tight end and three receivers are the norm), but the system, aside from an expansive playbook, features loads of tempos, cadences and no-huddle elements, in which just a word or two signifies a play.
There were times when the offensive line coach, Aaron Kromer, who now also coordinates the run game, would walk into the position room during the week and, before installing new plays, preface his remarks with a caveat. He would tell the players to calm down, that there would be a lot to process that day.
But, Kromer said, he went on to explain everything and why it was critical that they understood it. That notion ran counter, players said, to how some other teams seem to approach coaching: ordering a block on a certain player on a certain play, for instance, without conveying the reasoning behind it.
"Any time we have a meeting," Havenstein said, "it's why are we doing it. It's how we are doing it."
On Wednesday mornings, when the Rams reconvene after a day off to begin planning for their next opponent, Kromer greets the linemen by discussing defense, not offense. On Fridays, the entire offense gathers to review where, and how, defenders fill the gaps on rushing plays.
Having that foundational knowledge allows the linemen to adjust over the course of a game, as they did in the second half last Sunday against Green Bay.
"It gives you a lot of confidence to realize I'm never going to be put in a position where what I'm being asked to do isn't sound football," Whitworth said. "You understand the concepts of what they need to do to make their defense work and how you're going to counteract that instead of being told what to do."
Slater observed this phenomenon in person twice, the last two springs, when he and other former Rams stars were invited to attend off-season workouts. Sitting in on an offensive meeting that first year, Slater watched McVay drill every position group — from receivers to running backs, quarterbacks to linemen — on five plays. The next year, McVay did the same thing — only this time, the nuances were deeper, the minutiae more intricate. When McVay quizzed receiver Brandin Cooks, who had been acquired about two months earlier, he knew all the answers.
"Everybody else did, too," said Slater, who now coaches the offensive line at Azusa Pacific University. "Everybody understood why that particular detail was so important to the play."
Before joining the Rams, Whitworth said, he was accustomed to telling receivers to block on run plays. Now, receivers like Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods initiate conversations with Whitworth and others about why they block the way they do on a particular play.
The Rams have assembled one of the best lines in the league for what amounts to a pittance, investing about $31.4 million this season, 16th among the league's 32 teams, according to Overthecap.com. It's no coincidence that the three teams who have spent the least — Buffalo, the Giants and Arizona — are a combined 5-19.
The difference is apparent every time O'Hara studies the Rams' film. He analyzes the technical aspects, like Sullivan's combination-blocking or Saffold's square hips on running plays or Havenstein's aptitude at moving the front-side defender. But there's something else he has come to realize, too.
"They're a fun group to watch," O'Hara said.

October 19-25, 2015
In five weeks, we're celebrating coffee! We don't like coffee, we are obsessed with it. The art of the steaming milk and the pour; the finesse of dialing in an espresso to taste just this sweet and that savory; the science in a 12oz. pour over recipe, getting somewhere between 24 and 26 grams of grind at this setting, for a "xx" second long bloom, for a "xxx" gram yield; the tweeks and changes a roaster makes to their recipe that is roasted lightly, but tastes as rich as the dark roast you prefer; you get the picture.
This is our world! Specialty coffee. We strive not to just make coffee, but to honor the farmer, the coffee bean itself, and the extraction of that goodness waiting inside. We're crazy excited about how that cup of brew made it into your hands, and what it took to craft the whole experience you get to savor on the way to work every morning. We even may get a little emotional about it when you enjoy it.
Conversations have been happening:
"Okay, folks, who wants to compete in the latte art throwdown this year?!?"
"I think we should highlight the El Salvador instead of the Ethiopia for #PSCW15."
"What event could we do that we didn't get too last year?"
"Did you see that Caffe D'Amore is now open? Sarah is hosting the sourcing convo in Larryville!"
There's been back-of-house hustle:
- Hundreds of emails have created lag in the Pittsburgh regions interwebs, coordinating activities.
- The website has been updated.
- Coffee origin's have been chosen for the week's celebration.
- Collaborations have been struck, menus planned, and deals made. (Smoke-filled back rooms.)
Events are Happening!
Our first highlight of #PSCW15: Opening Event and Espresso Jamboree at the Commonplace Coffee's Roastery! It's from 6-9pm on Monday, October 19th, with a $5 admission. THERE'S ALL YOU CAN DRINK ESPRESSO.
Join Coffee Professionals for a collaborative espresso tasting featuring leading baristi from around the city serving their current favorite espresso. Get a feel for each shop's approach to this distinctive and rewarding beverage.

Delaware's College Education Month Boosts Applications
Delaware Governor Jack Markell announced that state college application fees will be waived for in-state students during College Application Month, which runs through November 21.
Delaware Tech and Wilmington University have participated in the program for the past two years. They will be joined this year by the University of Delaware and Delaware State University.
"I applaud our universities for working to make their admissions process as accessible and encouraging to our students as possible," Markell said in a statement. "With good jobs increasingly requiring education or training beyond high school, addressing obstacles to a college application is vital."
The state's other two colleges, Wesley College and Goldey-Beacom College, do not charge an application fee, which means that high school seniors need not pay an application fee to apply to college.
Every high school in the state is participating in College Application Month this year, allowing students to apply during the school day. The program started in 2012 with a pilot program that involved two schools. The program included 20 schools last year.
The program is a part of the American College Application Campaign. Initiated by the American Council on Education, the nationwide program was created as a way to increase the number of low-income and first generation students who apply to college and other higher education institutes. Last year, 39 states participated. This year, that number has risen to include all 50 states.
State officials say the application fees sometimes prohibit low-income students from applying to college, even when they are high-performing students.
All seniors participate in the program, not only those from the target demographics. Councilors are available to help students apply to college, trade schools, internship programs, and gain information pertaining to the military.
Time is set aside to allow seniors to visit the computer lab and fill out college applications. Community volunteers will be on hand throughout the state to help students fill out the applications, as part of a partnership between the state Department of Education and the Institute for Public Administration at the University of Delaware.
Last year, the 20 participating schools hosted a total of 221 volunteers, who filled up 400 time slots, most of them two-hour blocks. This year, the 32 schools have a total of 617 volunteer slots filled.
"If you believe it takes a village to raise a child, why not go out and support them, and become part of an extended support system," says Fran Fletcher, who works with Sherretz and is now volunteering in the program for her third year.
Representatives from many of Delaware's higher education institutions will also be available at high schools to answer questions students may have about their schools.
The program offers the use of a common application form, which students fill out once with their personal and academic information and can then be used to apply to hundreds of colleges, which "has helped streamline the process" said Amy Pelligrini, a counselor at Hodgson Vocational-Technical High School in Glasgow. Essays can be uploaded from flash drives and easily attached to the completed applications. Because the process has been computerized, it is easier for counsellors to keep track of where students have applied, and whether or not recommendations and transcripts have been sent.
Last year, 2,749 students sent out 3,236 applications during College Application Month, with 70% of those applications going to colleges in the state. Of those students, 744 were the first in their families to apply to college, and 140 reported they would not have applied otherwise.

GOALKING International Camp 2017 - Announcement
This year the Elite GK Training camp with SoccerPlus will be at beautiful NORTHFIELD-MOUNT HERMON in Northfield, Massachussetts, close to Boston. For SoccerPlus coaches and trainers, this is their favorite and most exciting camp of the season. This camp is scheduled from August 6th to the 10th in order to avoid conflicts with season finals and provincials.
The invitation is for our goalkeepers, but this year the invitation will be extended to field players as the SoccerPlus camp in Northfield includes a separate training camp for field players.
This camp is for U10 to U22.
I will try to organize soon an info session for this amazing experience of learning and training at a Prestigious international camp. Last year, two of our goalkeepers who attended the SoccerPlus camp in Los Angeles with me were later selected for the Alberta Soccer Association Winter program, and a third one was chosen this winter as a trialist for the Elite REX program of the Canadian Soccer Association, which is the conduit program to play on Team Canada. These 3 keepers can attest to the value of the SoccerPlus camps.
To attend this camp, you do not have to be a top player, as the camps have two different levels; however, one thing is for sure: the camp will help you improve, whatever level you are at. For advanced goalkeepers, there is a super intense NTC program; four of our goalkeepers have already received invitations to attend this more advanced level for the 2017 camp in Northfield.
If you want more information in the meantime, you can send me an email with your questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com .

Capcom recently opened up the official Japanese website for the Nintendo Switch version of Monster Hunter XX, which instantly set portable fans, Nintendo fans, Monster Hunter fans, Otaku, Weeabos, and even salty Xbox One and PS4 owners into overdrive mode.
The news could render catastrophically successful results for Nintendo if the game actually happens to make its way West, or a bunch of Westerners learn Japanese and import the game for their Switch.
The website doesn't have much on the site save for an image of a monster, some blood, the title of Monster Hunter XX title motif with a Nintendo Switch logo in the upper right hand corner and the image of the console in the middle of the screen on the leftmost side.
At the bottom of the site they announce that the full reveal will take place on May 27th this Saturday. Wall Street Journal's Japan correspondent, Takashi Mochizuki, mentioned that the details would be emanating from out of Japan.
Capcom PR confirmed Monster Hunter XX for Switch is real. More details coming on Saturday in Japan.
— Takashi Mochizuki (@mochi_wsj) May 26, 2017
Capcom verifies this on the site as well, along with linking to a live-stream of the Monster Hunter Championship where they will let loose details from the Monster Hunter summit detailing Monster Hunter XX on the Nintendo Switch along with details on Dragon Quest X on the Nintendo Switch and PS4.
Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad pointed out that the indestructible momentum of the Nintendo Switch and the big incoming announcement of Monster Hunter have helped the Switch blast up to heights that it hasn't seen since the Wii was dominating the market. It's the equivalent of a fat guy doing some crunches to reduce his gut so that he can see what his schlong used to look like.
Nintendo stock just hit an eight year high.
Strong Switch sales and recent MH news are the main contributors pic.twitter.com/Eg6QYAuLqj
— Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) May 26, 2017
Now the only thing that they need to do is make sure that Monster Hunter XX is actually coming to the West and Nintendo and Capcom will be all set for rolling in money like it was 2006.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Ares Capital Corp. trimmed the size of its initial public offering as the mezzanine fund managed by the private-equity firm by the same name traded for the first time Wednesday.
Ares Capital ARCC, +0.19% priced 11 million shares at $15 each, in a bid to raise $165 million with underwriter Merrill Lynch and Wachovia Capital. The stock closed at $15 after first crossing the tape at $15.10.
Ares cut the size of the deal from 17 million shares to stoke demand.
A closed-end fund managed by the Los Angeles private-equity firm of the same name, Ares Capital differs from other business development firms such as Apollo Group AINV, +0.64% because it already has a potential portfolio to offer investors as it goes public.
Ares Capital said in its IPO prospectus that it signed a deal with Royal Bank of Canada for the right to pay $150 million plus debt for a loan portfolio and equity investments.
The portfolio is primarily made up of first and second-lien senior loans, mezzanine debt and equity issued by middle-market companies.
IPOs of closed-end funds run by private-equity firms have had trouble getting out the door this year for a variety of reasons, including high fees and unproven track records. See full story.
Ares Capital is overseen by a five-member board, with three independent directors to ensure separation from Ares Private Equity Group.
Antony P. Ressler, a board member and co-chairman of the Ares fund, founded Ares in 1997. He was also co-founded of Apollo Management.
Several closed-end funds from private equity firms were filed earlier this year in an attempt to offer their investment prowess to a less-wealthy clientele of retail investors.
Thursday may turn out to be a busy day for IPOs, with several deals expected to price including B&G Foods, Gurunet, IntraLase, New York & Co. and Thomas Properties. See full story.

First, avoid these words: "referral," "feature," and "benefit." In addition, avoid these inquiries: "If I could get it for less, would you buy it today?" and "Can I help you?" All these do is remind customers that your mission is to sell them something.
The best salespeople are good listeners who react to what the customer says. If a couple say they're looking for an engagement ring, the typical salesperson will respond: "Our bridal department is right over here. What shape diamond did you have in mind?" A great salesperson listens carefully and understands that the couple are really saying, "We're getting engaged and planning our wedding and honeymoon. Talk to us about the emotional excitement behind the major event of buying an engagement ring."
If another couple are looking for a graduation gift for their daughter, a typical response might be: "Did you want to get her a watch or some other type of jewelry?" The great salesperson hears what they're really saying: "Our daughter is graduating from college, and we're excited for her and want to share in that emotional excitement with someone."
Talk to the young couple about the engagement and the wedding plans. Talk to the parents about the graduation, the college, and the celebration. Be a human being who sincerely cares about other human beings and wants to help them celebrate the special times in their lives. Spend two or three minutes discussing what's really important to the customer, and you'll be perceived as a friend instead of just another salesperson. Listen to every word customers say and even to what they don't say directly. Ask the right questions to find out the emotional reason behind the purchase and share in the reason.
Contrary to popular belief, the goal is not to sell every time a customer walks into a jewelry store. The real goal is to develop a relationship and make a friend. Those customers will come back to you for all their future jewelry needs and will tell their friends about the experience they had with you. In other words, the real goal of a sales presentation is personal trade, repeat business, and referral business.

Lithium ion batteries are beginning to show up all over the place, and wheeled mobility systems are a prime example of where the technology is paying dividends. Wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility solutions can be used to help the handicapped or disabled take control over their lives by providing them freedom of movement. They can also be used to support a variety of other use cases, including helping people move around large areas where walking is not efficient enough, but an automobile, moped or motorcycle would be too bulky and expensive.
Lithium ion batteries are emerging as a key solution for these wheeled mobility solutions because they offer cost-efficient energy storage to power these devices, can be charged quickly and hold their charge for an extended period of time. New battery technologies are emerging all the time, but there are a few issues you should keep in mind regardless of which battery cell type you are considering:
1. Emphasize safety
People are going to be using the wheeled mobility solutions that a battery will be housed in. You cannot afford to cut any corners on safety and put people at risk. This is true in every application of wheeled mobility systems, but is especially evident in electric wheelchairs or other solutions for the handicapped or disabled, as they may not be able to escape in the event of a battery malfunction that creates safety problems.
The battery cell itself can have an impact on user safety, but the integration system that allows the cell to interact with the energy infrastructure of the mobility solution has the greatest impact on user safety. A good integration system will provide a variety of safety functions that ensure users will not be taking on any risk from the battery.
2. Stick with a small size and light weight
A large or heavy battery can severely limit the design of the wheeled mobility solution you are putting into place. If you are manufacturing a line of wheelchairs, scooters or similar devices, you want a battery that is light and small enough to give you design flexibility without sacrificing energy delivery. A lighter battery can make it much easier to create an optimal machine, allowing you to push specifications while meeting your power needs with ease.
"Lithium ion batteries are emerging as a key solution for wheeled mobility solutions."
3. Make sure the battery has a short charge time
Users won't always be able to leave their battery charging for an extended period. Unless a person is cycling multiple batteries, it is extremely helpful to have a system in place that is capable of charging relatively quickly. Even if you get into a cycle of having the battery used in the day and charging overnight, it is useful to have that system charge enough that it can be used in the event of an emergency.
Wheeled mobility solutions present a wide range of challenges for manufacturers, and choosing the right battery type is a major issue. Following these tips can give you a foundation when going into battery discussions.

Hello all,
Mrs Atkinson has been banished to the bedroom this evening (to pack for our trip to Lincoln tomorrow) so I - Mr Atkinson - have taken her blog hostage for one night only so I can scratch the blog itch that has been irritating me for sometime. Katie raves about it and gets a strange and becoming glow about her when she is blogging and even more so when she is reading others so I am assuming it must be, in someway, good for the soul. ANYWAY, introductory ramblings aside I am actually here to discuss something serious, but so not to scare people off I will call it 'semi serious' and hope you all come along for the ride.
Jon Richardson: A Little Bit OCD
Those of you who pay close attention will be aware that my beautiful wife is to begin her training as a mental health nurse in September. She is an incredibly brave and courageous woman to be embarking on a career such as this and it make me very proud that she is going to be doing something so worthwhile and that many would not even entertain. For this reason we have tuned into the '4 GOES MAD' season with keen interest. Not only because of my goodwife's future career goals but because I have had a 20 year on and off relationship with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and I was keen to indulge my own ego and see if I had indeed been as successful with my battles as think I have.
Interestingly - to me anyway - this linked nicely with '8/10 Cats' star Jon Richardson's documentary on the subject where he would address his own obsessive compulsive tendencies and come to a concrete understanding of his own 'quirks' and 'foibles' to see whether he did or didn't have a mental health concern. Tuning in I was very excited as I have always been a strong believer that mental health - in any form - does not get the coverage that it deserves and the only champion of the mental health cause is Stan 'I kicked Ulrika Johnsson's head in' Collymore (perhaps not the ideal candidate to raise the profile.) However, I was in no way prepared for what I witnessed. I found the show a difficult watch and a periods during the show I found myself feeling awkward and uncomfortable at what I was watching, not because the show was badly made, presented or produced (as I half expected) but because I was in a situation where I have to face up to my own behaviour and actions of the last 20years. For someone who does not enjoy attracting attention or thinking about themselves (although this post probably suggests otherwise) this would exceptionally difficult, in the most part this was because of the guilt that I felt at having being able to re-establish a fulfilled and functional life whereas the cases I was witnessing on the TV were those of people who had not been so lucky.
Through the course of the show Jon Richardson showed himself to be an incredibly genuine presenter and demonstrated obvious care, compassion and respect for those who he was talking to. He also was wary about self diagnosing and showing the disorder in a comical light (which in all honesty would be quite easy.) The stories in the show were moving and showed that more needs to be done to increase awareness of mental health as a whole and not just box it away in a file marked 'awkward' and never talked about it again. Through a lifetime it is said that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health issue so why is it so rarely discussed and why, when it is, is it talked about with such scorn and dismissed as not important or not real?
My only concern with the Channel 4 series on mental health is that the shows have been put on a times that are not accessible to many and (actually I have a second concern) the titling of the series of programmes as 4 GOES MAD. But if the response to the shows are strong enough I would hope that the themes could be revisited by many channels and in other ways.
Ranting and rambling in a nonsensical and incoherent way is something that Mrs A has become use to and the fact that she puts up with it and me (I wouldn't) shows that I am a very lucky man. How in the land she does it I will never know.

Gillette College Foundation's Scholar Spotlight!
Meet Melissa Cantu, recipient of four Gillette College Foundation scholarships: the Herb and Dorothy Carter Scholarship, the Ramzi Ammari Memorial Scholarship, the Richard and Marlene Riggle Scholarship, and the Richard M. Baker Scholarship.
Melissa completed two and a half years of higher education after high school, with an emphasis on social work, before making the decision to stay at home. She has been a homemaker for 12 years and is now ready to complete her education. She feels the added maturity between the last time she was in college and the present has allowed her to figure out exactly what she wants.
Melissa is currently enrolled in the nursing program at Gillette College with hopes of continuing on to receive her bachelor's degree. She ultimately hopes to be able to open a home-health business.
The scholarships Melissa received have allowed her to focus on her education and family without having to also manage a job. Her time at Gillette College has taught her about perseverance, specifically through challenging courses! She has especially enjoyed learning more in depth information on procedures she may have already been somewhat familiar with, and has enjoyed seeing behind the scenes interactions.
Her advice to other students is, "Don't give up just because you don't do well the first time around."
Congratulations on receiving your scholarships, Melissa. The Gillette College Foundation is proud to have you as a recipient!

Why Yoga for Youth? It may seem trendy or alternative to some but Yoga is a practice that has been around for thousands of years. Some people practice yoga merely for the physical benefits while others find their practice has spiritual, mental or emotional benefits. Over the past decade it has become a popular trend outside of traditional adult practitioners, with the practice being embraced by not only adults looking to improve their health, flexibility and overall well-being, but increasingly by teens, the elderly and younger children. The practice of yoga in schools is seeing a greater trend nationally with adoption by in-house public school programs as well as extracurricular programming in communities across the nation. And the real benefits to children are, scientifically, proving to be many. A 2003 study by California State University found that yoga improved student's behavior, physical health and academic performance as well as attitudes toward themselves, all benefits that a parent can see after only a short time of their children involved in regular practice. In addition to physical improvement in fine motor skills, posture and breathing, children who are engaged in yoga practice have been found to have improved concentration, lower stress levels, socializing and cognitive development.
It's no secret that most of our kids live and need to learn to succeed in a world that runs continuously on fast forward. Accelerated education curriculum, optional after school programs, video games and electronics that come out with new, improved iterations every month, and parents whose own schedules create a sense of urgency for their kids as they're carted between school to soccer, violin, play dates and the grocery store all contribute to a child's innate need to slow down, rest and just "be." It's no wonder then that a regular physical practice that helps our kids learn to slow down and focus, like yoga, can become so critical to a child's development.
PBS Parents, an online resource that has been created with input from experts in child psychology, early childhood education, media and other fields, says that yoga for kids has the following benefits to children:
Teaches children about their bodies through physical asana (poses) and helps children to be strong and flexible
Teaches children to breathe better resulting higher energy levels
Teaches children to effectively channel that energy by learning to be relaxed, focused or motivated.
Teaches kids to quiet the mind by teaching the skill of stillness, listening and making good decisions
Teaches children balance (helpful physically and in school)
Teaches children the importance of taking care of "self" by demonstrating healthy choices in relationships with friends, family and even foods.
Yoga, while improving these certain physical conditions, can be a fun, interactive practice that helps children with their imagination and creativity. Poses like "Tree" pose, "Lion" pose and "Downward dog" can be practiced alone or with a group and can be an activity that the whole family can enjoy, and benefit from. Susan Strauss, a Park City mom whose child has practiced yoga through an after school Kids' Yoga program said, "Yoga has benefited my child beyond the actual classes to not only enhance her flexibility but the skills she has developed have helped her with her overall ability to focus and concentrate."
So, science aside, if you're looking for an activity that helps your children foster physical, mental and intellectual acuity, give yoga a try. It's an "OHM-azing tm" developmental aid in growing your kids' health and well-being.

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as your new president this year. Thank you for continuing to be a member of our society and for your continued support of our profession.
There are four major areas I hope to build upon this year as society president. The first is within access and outreach. This year my project is focused on improving referrals for tertiary care services, especially low vision. I hope you will join and support these efforts to increase the access to services for our aging population. Furthermore, I hope you will choose to participate in a survey regarding low vision practice patterns.
The second area of continued importance is legislative optometry. Thank you to those of you who attended COA Legislative Day and AOA Congressional Advocacy Conference. As you all know, we have an optometrist running for Lieutenant Governor, Senator Ed Hernandez. I hope you will join us in supporting him through campaigning and contributions. Please join me as we continue to do our part in making our voices heard at the local, state, and national levels with respect to our optometric rights.
Our goal as a board is to provide you with access to the best continuing education available and to maintain the high quality of education our society is known for. Please take advantage of one of your valuable membership benefits - join us for excellent CE events throughout the 2018-2019 year.
Finally, I hope to bring our society together in more social environments to promote unity and community. With the implementation of our OD mixer last summer, we have created a new space in which our society members can meet and mingle. I hope to grow this aspect of our society and look forward to your continued participation. Please mark your calendars for our summer social on Sunday July 29 at Cornerstone Brewery in Berkeley - guests are invited!
I am proud to be part of our award winning society. Thank you for your continued support of our society, and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming June General Membership Meeting at Spenger's in Berkeley.

The second teacher appreciation gift we did this week is pretty simple. Again, I had everything on hand. But the outcome is cute and it's practical at the same time. I tend to steer clear of too personal or kitschy gifts for teachers. How many mugs can they really own? Or do they really want that painting from my kid? A handmade card to go along with a gift is plenty cute and personal from my kids if you ask me.
For this one you'll need: fresh flowers, a few different colors of twine, double sided stick tape, drink dispenser or vase
I bought a few of these drink dispersers from Ikea, but I've seen them lots of places, such as at The Container Store, Cost Plus, etc.
I didn't photograph how I started to wrap the twine, but I took a small piece of double sided sticky tape for the beginning of the twine and just wrapped. When I switched colors, I tried to keep it in the same area as where I began the last color so that if you turn the bottle, everything looks pretty and you don't see the starts and stops of twine.
And there you have a super easy, practical and yet pretty gift.

Privacy matters. Encryption matters.
Everyone has heard that the united states government is spying on you. They probably aren't the only ones. If you aren't concerned that strangers are reading your emails and instant messages and tracking your browsing histories you really, really should be.
A strong encrypted solution to online privacy has existed since 1991 when PGP was invented. A lot of people think that key-pair encryption, also known as end-to-end encryption, is really complicated or technical but it isn't.
How it works
You have two keys. a PRIVATE KEY and a PUBLIC KEY. Your PRIVATE KEY is kept private, and you give your PUBLIC KEY to the world.
Receiving encrypted files & emails
When someone wants to send you an encrypted message or file, they encrypt it using your PUBLIC KEY. You decrypt it with your PRIVATE KEY.
Sending encrypted files & emails
When you want to send someone else an encrypted message or file, you encrypt it using their PUBLIC KEY and the other person decrypts it using their PRIVATE KEY.
The Trust Issue
There is another consideration, how do you know if the PUBLIC KEY that claims to be from firstname.lastname@example.com actually belongs to Mr. Doe? In the past the method was to create a "web of trust". John would personally give you his PUBLIC KEY, and you would digitally sign it using your key. Then when John gives his PUBLIC KEY to someone else, they can see that you have vouched for it's authenticity. The problem with this is that everyone needs to do it. This has been one of the greatest hurdles in the adoption of key-pair encryption.
Enter Keybase.io
The clever folks at Keybase.io have found a solution. Their service allows you to connect your PUBLIC KEY with various online identities, such as Twitter and Reddit, or websites which you control. These entities are considered trust-worthy, because we use them every day to communicate with our family, friends, and colleagues. This service practically solves the trust issue, eliminating the necessity for the "web of trust".
Keybase.io will also help you with the creation of a key pair, which simplifies and standardizes the process for a lot of people. Keybase.io also generates seperate key pairs for each device that you use, be it a smart phone or a laptop or desktop. If you stop using a particular device (for example if your smart phone is lost or stolen) you can revoke the keys for that device, preventing someone from using it to impersonate you, without having to destroy your original PRIVATE KEY.
The Future, Transparency and Ease-of-Use
Encryption is the future. It is the future because the alternatives are too horrifying to live with, which is why we have books and movies like 1984 and The Matrix warning us about them years in advance. Privacy is sacred and as a race human beings are going to embrace it, whether the government likes it or not (they really don't like it). There have been technical hurdles to overcome, but with open-source community funded projects like Keybase.io, I am confident that the future of privacy looks bright.
