Intro Social Proof Website
In Digital advertising, conversion signifies that an action that a visitor takes on your site, while it's clicking through to the following page, supplying an email or making a purchase. When a customer performs one these activities, it brings them one step closer to providing some kind of profit or economic benefit to you and your own brand. Digital companies use different advertising strategies to get the highest possible amount of conversions, one of which social proof is a effective strategy. The idea of social proof relies on individuals performing certain activities under the premise that it is a good choice made by many others just like them. Essentially, social proof gives people a sense of confidence and credibility about your business. This Is why it's important to understand what Proof is and how it can be very helpful for you when you want to achieve a high conversion speed –it is extremely important to continuously enhance your conversion metrics since they can make the difference between failure and success. Proof is a software for your website that can make that gap and have a big effect on what you're trying to achieve with your manufacturer. Social Proof Website
What's Proof?
It's Clear to realize that using the fundamentals of social proof may increase the rate of conversion for your website and have a noticeable influence on your level of sales.

Gains And Drawbacks of using Proof
Proof Is a software with an excellent reputation within the electronic social proof room and these are some of the reasons which have taken it to there. It is important to say that these pros and cons have been determined after considering the facts and opinions from multiple users in order to have a greater awareness of understanding about exactly what it is that makes Proof such a workable (or not-so viable) choice for you to utilize.

· The platform has a variant perfectly accommodated to mobile devices. If you're the kind of person who must travel a great deal or you are not often on your own laptop, then this will be the ideal selection for you.
· It adapts very easily to a website, naturally and works without hindering the speed and operability of it.
Due To how well Proof performs, it is difficult to find something bad about it, however, there are a couple things.

Proof Is a system which will provide a way for your brand to standout and it's Going to assist you in the many ways that can increase your conversions. While It might be somewhat pricey, it's also worth taking into consideration how useful It is and just how much of a difference it can do for you at the short and long term.

#270 – Vat
Posted on January 3, 2013 at 12:00 am by Chris
Whenever I have some sort of intestinal problems I get mad at food. I wish there was an alternative way to sustain myself. Perhaps a special rock that I licked once a day.Tags: food, poop, sleep
11 thoughts on "#270 – Vat"
If you sleep late, will others call you a glutton?
"He's not lazy, just really hungry."
A snack on the go would be an adult diaper soaked in slime.
If only Wonka would hurry up and finish his three-course meal gum. Geez, I've been waiting for that for years. Lazy oaf.
….a Recuperacoon?
To answer the question posed in the comic: when we stop breathing like animals.
I was always miserable because of my constant, um, problems. One day this past summer I developed a dental infection and the antibiotics, I was warned, would screw up things further as it'd wipe out the bacteria, good and bad, in my intestinal track. I was advised to start eating Chobani and begin probiotic therapy as a remedy.
Now I have food allergies and sensitivities, so I must always be careful, but after eating Chobani twice a day and taking probiotic supplements also twice daily…for the most part a great deal of my lifelong issues with..uh…this have suddenly disappeared or become manageable. What a relief to be free from pain.
But as for this, through our skin…what goes IN still has to go OUT at some point and if we're still swimming in that slime….urp.
People in India (I'm told) consider it an honor to make the pilgrimage to swim in the Ganges, sort of a living soup.
As W.C. Fields was quoted, "Drink water? Do you know what fish DO in water?!"
They also consider perfectly natural to leave their dead loved ones floating on the Ganges….
On several documentaries about India, they've shown people bathing there, ritually, with the greatest honor, while a few corpses pass by.
Different mentalities, i guess…
In Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun, at one point the main character encounters a human from the future that's been caught and kept as a freak in a carnival. He's green, because he's from a time when we have a symbiotic relationship with microscopic plants living in our bodies that, so long as they get sunlight and water, feed our bodies and live off our waste, so we don't eat or poop anymore.

Actress Susan Sarandon says Donald Trump's biggest policy plans — including building a wall on the southern border and deporting illegal alien immigrants — are "not that threatening," because he won't actually be able to get them done if he is elected president.
The 69-year-old Oscar-winner and often outspoken supporter of Democrat presidential contender Bernie Sanders talked politics with Variety from the Cannes Film Festival over the weekend, where she expressed hope that Sanders could still wrest the nomination away from Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
"The thing that's interesting about Trump is that the main things that he talks about are absolutely impossible, so they're not that threatening," Sarandon told the outlet. "He's obviously not gonna build a wall, he's not gonna be able to export all the Muslims in the United States. All of those things are impossible to do. So they're not what's threatening."
"What he did that was terrible is, he legitimized racism and homophobia and everything else, in order to get that very discontented base that wants something authentic, and he seemed authentic," she added.
Sarandon — who has frequently warned that fired-up progressive Democrats may not vote for Clinton in a general election — called Clinton "a very good Republican candidate" and said she would need to change her positions on issues like fracking and healthcare to secure support from Sanders voters.
The actress also said she believes the socialist Vermont senator could still receive the nomination, because Clinton could be "indicted at any moment" over the use of a private email server while she served as Secretary of State. In an interview with Larry King just last week, Sarandon warned that Clinton's "health issues" could prevent her from locking up the nomination.
"All those things that are leaking out now are terrible," Sarandon told Variety. "So I don't know what's going to happen with the indictment. They're trying to push it off; the date is now like the day after the [Democrat National] Convention. But some of the superdelegates are changing. I mean, you can't ignore what's happened with [Sanders], with the thousands and thousands of people."
"There's also an enormous amount of voter fraud that has been exposed," she said, adding: "And the DNC hasn't even said a thing. At least people now are awake."

ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani minister says his government's talks with the United Arab Emirates on setting up an oil refinery in Pakistan "reached their final stage" during the visit of the crown prince of Abu Dhabi.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry also says Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan's visit on Sunday will further strengthen ties between the two countries. The prince and Prime Minister Imran Khan held a one-on-one meeting, followed by delegation-level talks.
The prince arrived in Islamabad to a red-carpet welcome. Prime Minister Imran Khan received him and personally drove him to his residency for a welcome ceremony.
The crown prince had been expected to announce a financial assistance package but left Islamabad in the afternoon without any announcements.

Unlike the "Ice Bucket Challenge," which relied heavily on the viral quality of videos posted to various social media platforms, this Friday's Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) fundraising effort is being publicized far and wide and pretty much everywhere you look. If you've watched TV -- live or streaming -- in the past week you've more than likely seen the commercials for the benefit to raise money in the fight against cancer.
The one-hour event will be broadcast live, beginning at 2 p.m. local time, across more than two dozen network and cable channels that are donating one hour of simultaneous commercial-free primetime for the nationally televised fundraising special.† The show also will be live streamed across Hulu and Yahoo! services.
Celebrities scheduled to appear include: Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Pierce Brosnan, Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Jon Hamm, Kiefer Sutherland, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Mark Harmon, Rob Lowe, Danny McBride, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Tony Hale, Dane Cook, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Marg Helgenberger, Matt Passmore, Rob Riggle, Italia Ricci and Bree Turner, with special performances by The Who, Jennifer Hudson, Lupe Fiasco & Common, Ariana Grande, and Dave Matthews.
Instead of a traditional phone bank, this year's event will feature a "digital lounge," hosted by Yahoo News anchor Katie Couric.
Stars in the digital lounge will reach out to viewers via phone, Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms through an exciting new campaign called "We're Calling You" that SU2C's supporters can sign up for.
More information is available at http://werecallingyou.org.
Although mortality rates form cancer have steadily declined over the past two decades, the disease still claims about 7.6 million lives per year, more than all other non-communicable diseases, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research.

With Trey Busch at the helm, Sleight of Hand has thrived into one of the outstanding Washington wineries. There are few wineries in the state that produce such a consistently excellent range of wines. I recently caught up with Trey at his SoDo tasting room, located adjacent to Rotie Cellars and we ran through the outstanding new lineup of Washington wines. Trey founded Sleight of Hand in 2007 along with two other partners, Jerry and Sandy Solomon. The winery focuses on both estate and non-estate fruit and has slowly been increasing production since the winery's inception. Trey (a fellow Pearl Jam fan) is a downright awesome, down to earth guy that has attained great success in a relatively short amount of time. Their production winemaker, Keith Johnson, is highly talented.
Look for the 2015 Sleight of Hand 'The Magician' (WWB, 91) which shows wonderful tension despite the obvious heat of the vintage. Even better is an awesome value, the 2015 Sleight of Hand 'The Conjurer' Red Wine (WWB, 92) which shows wonderful richness and depth. Learn more about this outstanding winery at http://www.sofhcellars.com Here are the great new release wines from Sleight of Hand.
2015 Sleight of Hand 'The Magician' Riesling- Sourced from the Evergreen Vineyard, this wine begins with aromatics of Gravenstein apple, nutmeg, and green papaya. The acidity is wonderful and cuts through the mid-palate. Flavors of green apple, white peach and a touch of mango with wet rock impress. Drink 2017-2022- 91
2014 Sleight of Hand 'Enchanteress' Chardonnay- Sourced from the French Creek Vineyard, this Wente Clone planting was first planted in 1980.

Product Highlight

Kodi's Natural Pet Foods features dog and cat food brands.
If there is a specific brand you prefer for your pets that you don't see, let us know! You can reach Kodi's by phone at
Often we can get a specified pet food for you within 24 hours.
New at Kodi's:
CBD capsules, oil, and biscuits
Canna-Pet® is the global pioneer of cannabinoid products for dogs and cats.
The Canna-Pet® team passionately produces veterinarian recommended, legal, cannabinoid (CBD) nutraceuticals for animals.
Our proprietary products are made from hemp extracts and manufactured in our USA labs and cGMP facilities to ensure the presence of not only CBD, but also two dozen other volatile cannabinoids and terpenes– in precisely formulated ratios.
Our products are rigorously tested for their consistency, and guaranteed safe for your pet. More information is available on the
Canna-Pet website
Which product to choose?
A suggested dosage guide is available on the Canna-Pet website
at this link
Our most popular products, used by pets worldwide since 2013, are our capsule products.
Sprinkling the contents of the capsule into your pets normal food or onto a treat is an excellent means of providing Canna-Pet®. This allows the product to dissolve in your pet's mouth as they eat. Canna-Pet® powders, when used in food or treats, are designed to be absorbed in the mouth AND in the digestive tract.
Our Organic Biscuits are a secondary means of cannabinoid nutrition, and were introduced in 2014. They can be given more frequently and as a treat. The Canna-Pet® in biscuits is processed differently because it is primarily digested in the stomach. The biscuits take longer to metabolize the CBD, and thus lower levels of cannabinoids are available to your pet for a longer duration.
Compared to capsules – biscuits are lower cost, lower concentration, and higher servings are required.
Biscuits are a very popular organic treat before traveling, going to the groomer, or when guests come over.
Many dogs thrive with a few biscuits during thunderstorms, fireworks or excessive noise.
How do liquid products compare to our existing Canna-Pet® products:
Liquid products have more rapid effect. They are also metabolized rapidly, and should be fed 3-4X daily.
If your pet is not eating reliably, and you are not comfortable feeding capsules, liquid is an easy option. Our liquid MaxCBD is very popular as an adjunct to capsules for those who need the highest CBD levels for their pet.
Canna-Pet® Industrial Hemp is NOT the same
as Medical Marijuana
And that is part of why our Canna-Pet® Hemp Products provide safety and results that are nothing like other "CBD treats for dogs," "cannabis for companions," or "CBD Oil for pets."
Since 2013 over two dozen companies have popped up copying our name and products, but none can match our guaranteed results or our low price to the consumer, our exclusive cannabinoid diversity, or our revolutionary delivery direct to your pets ECS.
It has long been established that our products start with the most active CBD, but what truly makes them unique are the significant Entourage Effect and the high bioavailability only Canna-Pet® products obtain.
Some are holistic vets in it for the money joining the "green rush," some are medical cannabis entrepreneurs looking to bake treats for dogs , while others simply white label ineffective CBD products designed for people and sell them for pets with a paw print on the label.
Unfortunately, what we have discovered is that many of these newcomers are using medical marijuana and "medicinal hemp" as substitutes for true industrial hemp because of their limited understanding of cannabinoid science and genetics – the two plants are NOT the same for your pet, and definitely are not regarded the same way by law enforcement or medical practitioners.
Canna-Pet® is the only cannabinoid nutrition company in the world that:
offers veterinarian recommend products
covered by major pet insurers
guarantees our industrial hemp products are safe for your pet;
uses exclusively
provides precisely formulated ratios of numerous cannabinoids;
uses a gentle, proprietary refinement process in our laboratories;
delivers a cGMP product with unique abundance and variety of phytochemicals;
delivers 10-15X the bioavailability of other CBD products;

I recently hosted my bridal shower at Roma's and I cannot stress enough how amazing my experience was! Janet, Helena and their entire team conduct themselves with utmost professionalism and were super friendly and hospitable every step of the planning process. The food was simply delectable, and the venue is just exquisitely maintained. My entire party cannot stop raving about the venue and food! I am so incredibly happy with how perfect everything was and I'll remember this milestone forever, not only for what it represents for my fiance and I, but also because of the incredible experience I had with Janet and her team. Thank you again and I look forward to our many future events together!

Not only do they provide the hall but they also provide us with different suggestions of people we can contact for entertainment, photography, videos, which makes the search much easier if youre not familiar with such contacts,The staff was very helpful and professional. The hall is very clean, and the decor is extremely beautiful. The food was also delicious and they offer a variety of food that will meet the needs of any guest. They helped us make our event a magical one, looking forward to having more celebrations at their location
It's was a pleasure working with Joseph and his team , great customer service, top notch. Joseph made my team and the vendors we worked with feel welcome,and help them through the wedding day from start to finish.

With my time in Paris freshly behind me, I have my first proper chance to reflect on the past two weeks and what my biggest takeaways from them have been. To aid this process, I thought I would use this time as an opportunity to write my next blog piece while the trip is still fresh in my mind. Despite the trip being full of cultural highlights that would make for incredible travel writing, if you've read any of my previous blog pieces you'll know I'm not really one for anecdotal writing (that's what a few years of studying Law will do to you). Instead, I thought I would again focus on some of the ideas presented in the conferences and meetings we attended as there was no shortage of interesting content to work with.
A reoccurring question that we faced in these conferences and meetings was how to address the wellbeing of people in today's global economy. Inherent in these discussions is a vague understanding of human rights as they are widely regarded as being a measure of well-being; with the degree to which one's rights are solidified determining the state of their well-being. However, as alluded to, today's global economy is increasingly volatile, meaning that human rights are frequently infringed upon and as a result, begin to mean less to those who fall victim to this. Therefore, I thought I would provide an overview of some of the key discussions that we had on this subject in order to theorise where human rights presently stand and what actions could be taken to ensure that they operate as intended.
Before doing so, the concept of 'human rights' needs to be given more meaning. A useful way of doing so is to assess the two situations where human rights violations typically occur and how they are resolved; on one hand, there are those that occur in the context of crisis and wartime and on the other, there are those that occur on a more day to day basis.
The former violations are otherwise known as 'crimes against humanity', which include crimes like genocide. While there is an International Criminal Court that deals with these cases, there is no International Human Rights Court per se. The only other body that can resolve these cases is the International Court of Justice, which is almost always comprised partly of judges from veto nations. This issue was raised in our meeting with Antoine Madelin, the International Advocacy Director at the International Federation for Human Rights, where he argued that the veto power should be abolished as not only is it relatively arbitrary, but it is also one of the greatest hurdles in resolving these violations as it enables member nations to oppose proposed redress whenever they want; which seems to be often.
Conversely, the more day to day violations occur in relation to political rights, such as the right to life and the right to freedom of expression. These are regarded as 'fundamental rights' and are protected accordingly. In Aotearoa, this protection takes the form of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA). However, while the legislative recognition given to these rights is obviously a good thing, Madelin also argues that this has come at the cost of social and economic rights. This disenfranchises those from lower socio-economic backgrounds from engaging in human rights discussions as they no longer perceive things like healthcare and housing as a right, thereby weakening both their support for and belief in the concept of 'human rights' in general.
Therefore, to more actively engage society in human rights advocacy we need to reconfigure the approach that is presently employed and work towards establishing a more guaranteed set of rights for all. For instance, the United Nations are developing an international Treaty that will impose an obligation on corporations to enforce their own human rights regulations. The reasoning behind doing so is to reiterate the fact that human rights need to be protected even in smaller localised environments such as the workforce, and as the name suggests, be applied to everyone.
A final and slight side note that I found particularly interesting was the possibility of introducing a Digital Bill of Rights Act as we find ourselves in an increasingly digitalised age, whereby privacy and data protection are so easily threatened. While reaching a consensus on what this would look like would be very difficult, it is another good example of developing human rights accordingly as it recognises the fact that with new challenges come necessary changes in how we go about protecting our rights.
While this is a very brief overview of a very heavy subject matter, the main takeaway is that while we like to think that human rights are guaranteed, when there are such overwhelming obstacles in the way of resolving disputes, and when certain rights are valued over others, this simply isn't a reality. Therefore, a more proactive and inclusive approach is necessary if we want to ensure that human rights are developed, advocated for and protected accordingly.

He is with his Savior!/
My Dad passed at 9:43 am this morning after a three year battle with prostated cancer. He suffered quietly and privately (with the exception of his son blabbing about it on his blog and on Facebook). His pain is no more and by the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ he is in heaven. Praise be to God!
I find it fitting that I was seeing patients in the office while he passed. I saw him last night and he wouldn't have wanted me to not be there for my patients on his account. Guaranteed, he'd see it that way - that's how he saw the world. I know he was proud of me for becoming the man I am, and the doctor that I strive to be. He would have been happy that I was trying to help others as he departed. He told us all - "no tears for me, I'll be in a better place and relief will finally come." He said he knew he'd see me again - so long, Dad! Enjoy your journey - see you in God's time!
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Rev 21:4

Ground Zero construction (Photo: Ground Zero image by weinhundert from Fotolia.com )
Ground Zero -- the site of the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers -- attracts visitors to New York who want to pay tribute to the victims who lost their lives and the heroes who worked tirelessly to save as many people as possible. The current construction and rebuilding effort is taking place underground, but New York visitors can view the site from a walkway that surrounds the location. Combine Amtrak rail service from Philadelphia and local New York transit to make the trip to Ground Zero by train.
Purchase a ticket from Philadelphia to New York online or at Philadelphia's 30th Street Amtrak station. Amtrak provides daily service on the Acela Express, with hourly departures during rush hour. You also can reserve seats on the Northeast Regional and Keystone routes or select from additional train routes that run less frequently.
Board the train in Philadelphia and stay on board until your train reaches Amtrak's New York Penn Station. This is one of two stations in New York City. Its location between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue between West 31 Street and West 33rd Street is closer to Ground Zero than the station at Grand Central, on the opposite side of Manhattan.
Exit the Amtrak train and follow the signs inside the terminal for ground transportation. Leave the station through the doorway closest to West 33rd Street and 7th Avenue.
Walk one block on West 33rd Street toward 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PATH) train line station. This station is the terminus of several PATH routes.
Pay the fare to travel on the 33rd Street line to Hoboken and board the train to Hoboken, New Jersey.
Get off the train at the Hoboken station and transfer to the Hoboken to World Trade Center line. Take the World Trade Center train toward lower Manhattan and exit at the World Trade Center station. This is the end of the train's route.

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ7) It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it brings a crowd. Around one hundred people were at the 4th annual flag retirement ceremony at fire station three in Roanoke.
"It sets a model for the younger generation to know how it should be done and how we follow protocol," said Army veteran Bert Boyd who served in Vietnam.
Boyd says ceremonies like this are important to keep the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice alive. "Honor the memory of those who have died in honor of the flag whether it's from the American Revolution to the Gulf War and the current wars going on. It's just the honor that it shows in the country and the respect we have for the flag."
However Thursday night was a little different because not every flag was retired. One flag had one final mission.
Wendy Jones, Executive Director of Williamson Road Area Business Association and event organizer was delivered a flag for retirement but knew something was different, "I knew that I had something really, really, really special at this point. I knew what I had was a 48 star flag. It is in near perfect condition and I can't retire this flag."
Jones said a woman brought the 48 star flag to be retired. She said it was her brother's from the Korean War but Jones knew it couldn't be retired so she had to give it a home that it can be seen each and every day at New Freedom Farms.
New Freedom Farms rehabs horses to eventually pair them with a veteran who suffers from PTSD and addiction. They say the news of the 48 star flag was breathtaking.
"When I saw that we were going to receive it, I was thrilled beyond belief. To have that at New Freedom Farms for our veterans to share with our veterans is truly an honor," said Vice Chairwoman and volunteer at New Freedom Farms Carol Bernstein.

This is absolutely gorgeous. And evidently I am going to have to have a word with my mom + sister because I somehow didn't KNOW you were pregnant and that's pretty amazing considering how quickly the Marston grapevine works with other bits of news. Huh. Anyhow, you look amazing and I am very impressed by your sewing prowess.

What craziness does Jim Starlin have in store this time around? Why, an assassination attempt! Fun!
Dreadstar #4 ("The Hand of Darkness") by Jim Starlin turns the spotlight towards the Monarchy a little as Dreadstar and Company go to the Monarchy capital world to deliver the tele-drives. There, they're greeted by the King and his right-hand man, Z. In red mechanical armour with a cloak, the one-armed mystery is a little reminiscent visually of Darth Vader, no doubt purposefully so. He immediately draws your attention. He and the King have their cyborg army attacked Dreadstar and Company (that's what the cover depicts -- I love the cyborg army designs). It's 'all a test,' of course, and, then, the issue becomes about preventing the Lord High Papal's assassination attempt on the King.
One of the big conflicts centres on Oedi whose entire species was wiped out by Monarchy forces. He hates the Monarchy in a way the others don't -- not even Vanth who wife was killed in the same attack. Maybe that's because Vanth killed the previous King, the man who was ultimately responsible. He got some measure of revenge, while Oedi hasn't yet. Because Oedi is the one that hates the King the most, he's the one who stops the assassin. The assassin wears a cloaking/changeling net sort of suit, able to take the identity of others. But, that can't fool Oedi's advanced senses. Their brief fight on a balcony is pretty cool as Starlin drops out the backgrounds as they spar until the panel where the assassin goes over the edge -- then, the panel borders and background come back. He does something similar during the fight with the cyborg army, dropping out the backgrounds most of the time. It places the emphasis on the fighting.
The cyborg army fight also uses an interesting layout for the main conflict: one two facing pages, they mirror one another with three tiers. One large panel per tier, one smaller. In the large one, the fight goes on; in the small one, Z. and the King watch, facing the action panel -- on the first page, Z. does all of the talking with him closest to us; on the second page, since the action is on the other side, they face the other way and the King is closest, so he does all of the talking. I love layouts like this.
The ending of the issue has an interesting scene between the Lord High Papal and his seeming right-hand man as he informs the Papal that, not only did the assassin fail, Dreadstar and his crew still live. Vanth and Syzygy survived the nuclear attack on Chichano last issue. The right-hand man then turns on the Lord High Papal, revealing that his daughter lived in Chichano -- and then blasting the Papal. But, that does nothing and the Papal kills him. The final four panels of the issue mirror the final four of the last issue.
First panel: issue 3 -- Vanth with his head in his hands; issue 4 -- Papal standing over the dead body.
Second panel: issue 3 -- close-up of Vanth's face as he looks up and yells "DAMN YOU, LORD PAPAL!"; issue 4 -- close-up of the Papal's face as he yells "DAMN YOU, VANTH DREADSTAR!"
Third panel: issue 3 -- Vanth looks up, fists clenched and rised to his midsection, screaming up "DAMN YOUR MAD WAR!"; issue 4 -- the Papal is in the exact same pose, screaming "DAMN YOUR INTERFERENCE!"
Fourth panel: issue 3 -- a shot of Dreadstar and Company's ship with a word balloon coming out of it that says "DAMN IT ALL."; issue 4 -- a shot of the Instrumentality headquarters with a word balloon coming out of it that says "DAMN IT ALL..."
It's a weird sort of mirroring. Vanth is upset because the Lord High Papal makes him an unwitting accomplice in murder; the Papal is upset because Vanth makes him kill people. There's a twisted symmetry there that reveals a lot about the Papal's mindset. He's clearly 'evil,' but this is the first instance where there's a hint of something there. Right after he kills a man. Or is it just frustration at his plans being thwarted? I like the ambiguity. Starlin teases us with the Lord High Papal having depth and... reasons. But, does he?
Tomorrow, we meet Tuetun...

Today is Stand Up To Bullying Day and the sad fact is it's incredibly likely you've been the victim of a bully at some point in your life.
In fact, more than half of us in the UK (54 per cent) have been bullied in our lifetimes, according to a new YouGov survey for The Diana Award charity's Anti-Bullying Campaign.
The problem is especially bad among young people, with 62 per cent of those aged 16-24 experiencing bullying, according to the survey of 2,000 people.
[ooyala code="12Y3VuYjE6QZ5SLX9AlwG1A7Z57vtP__" player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1000″ height="1000″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l"]
And I was one of them. Growing up, it wasn't until hitting secondary school that problems really mounted up for me on a personal level.
I wasn't an exceptionally clever kid, but enjoyed learning so I instantly found myself in the minority. It started with petty insults, 'boffin', 'geek', 'nerd' were just a few of the bog standard phrases chucked in my direction.
It was enough to shrug off, at first, but it got a lot more personal. My family had moved to a house on the same road as my school and we were soon confronted by a rather nasty family further down the street.
It turned out one of their six kids was not only in the same year as me, but the same tutor group. He was ultimately the catalyst in making the next few school years an utter hell.
Name calling intensified and happened not just in breaks, but in lessons – with little reprisal from teachers. Pushing, shoving and general intimidation became part of my daily routine and the amount of bullies targeting me only grew.
This all eventually boiled over in what has to be the most vivid memory of my time at the school.
Non-school uniform day came around and I thought, what better time to wear some brand new jeans? Big mistake. It turned out that my main tormentor had decided to wear the exact same pair of jeans and he wasn't impressed, at all.
Along with a gang of his mates, he told me to go home and change. I refused (mistake number two), and he and a group of mates proceeded to kick my legs in repeatedly.
Hobbling home, tears in my eyes, I asked myself: "Why me?" I'd end up asking my mum the same question when I staggered through the door.
In the aftermath my mum did what she could. She badgered my tutor and spoke to senior people at the school after it happened, but no solution was offered up and I was simply told to 'grow a thicker skin'. This became a tagline that defined my childhood.
From then on I feared every school day. I'd fake sickness to avoid the bullies. Lunchtimes were no longer spent at school playing football, they'd be spent at home.
In this state it's only natural for your self-esteem to become practically non-existent, and I'd be lying if I said the thought of ending it all didn't cross my mind.
This trend lasted for two years or so, right up until we were forced to move away from the area when I was around 15-years-old – but that's not to say I suffered in silence during this period.
I found some solace in music and it seems a lot of other victims of bullying do as well. Half of those who said they were bullied in the Anti-Bullying Campaign survey said listening to music helped them 'feel stronger'.
Songs by people such as David Bowie, John Lennon, Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift have had positive impacts on people listening to them.
For me personally it was a variety of different artists and bands that helped me, but ultimately everyone has their own unique way of dealing with this negativity – whether it's music, hobbies or sports.
However, some aren't so lucky. Many kids reach such a state of despair and become so overwhelmed by the psychological and physical torment that they are driven to suicide.
There have been a myriad of high-profile cases which have pointed the finger at social media and now, aged 25, I fear for my future kids and the inevitable struggles they will have to face in this new age of communication.
Gone are the days of coming home once school's finished and getting some respite in the comfort of your own bedroom – now the 24/7 nature of the internet means that children can be targeted around the clock.
Research by ChildWise showed that 78 per cent of seven to 16-year-olds use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat – to name just a few – have not only become primary tools of communication for younger people, they've also unlocked a Pandora's box containing a whole new world of bullying.
Fat-shaming, sexist trolling and even a rise in viral bullying videos have circulated all over these platforms, making the bullying epidemic a whole lot worse.
A study by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) found that the number of young people tormented by online trolls has increased by a staggering 88 per cent in five years.
Heck, this is something that even translates to adulthood. Playboy model Dani Mathers infamously fat shamed a naked woman in the gym showers and then posted it to thousands of people on Snapchat.
And we can't forget Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones, who briefly quit Twitter after facing a barrage of racist and sexist abuse from trolls.
Some social media platforms are doing more than others to curb cyber bullying. Twitter finally announced that its users would be able to mute specific conversations, as well as filter out all tweets with a particular word or phrase from their notifications.
Instagram also lets users swipe to delete comments, report abusive posted remarks and even have accounts blocked.
And Facebook relaunched their Safety Center, which has a bunch of tools to help address bullying and promote safe sharing for all its users.
But is this really enough? Many would argue no, but with increased social interaction on these platforms there was always going to be an associated risk that not all users would behave themselves.
So, what is the solution to this? Sadly, there's no definitive answer. Leaving social media altogether or 'manning up' – a phrase which does nothing to help young men in difficult situations – simply won't do the job.
The only advice I can give is that it does get better and your time at school is relatively short in the grand scheme of life.
Find out who your real friends are before it's too late and get support – because you don't need to be alone out there.
If you or anyone you know has been the victim of bullying, the Diana Award's Anti-Bullying Campaign has loads of really useful information and advice.

Every Thursday evening, they sell oysters at 1$ each! Pair it with a very affordable glass of good wine, and you've got yourself a date! Cab be quite busy, so reservations are recommended. I have also really enjoyed their charcuterie board here.
French Master Chef Roland Durand was in Singapore to share his style of classic French bistronomy for 3 nights - 18th to 20th June, at @ginettsingapore. At the dinner organised for the media, we had the opportunity to taste all of the courses he had created for the already-sold-out event (I'm pretty sure his fame as the chef-patron of Michelin-starred Le Passiflore in Paris may have something to do with that).
The dishes displayed above (swipe for the others) were the ones I liked most. The first two are his desserts, the "Sablé Aux Fraises Et À La Rhubarbe" – a crisp buttery biscuit base embellished with strawberry, rhubarb and orange coulis; the second, the "Le Merveilleux Riz Au Lait A L'angelique De Roland Durand" – Chef Durand's signature rice pudding whipped up with angelica and dressed with almond milk and pumpkin marmalade. Although I was feeling full and sleepy by this point in the meal, I couldn't help but scrape my plates clean.
What I enjoyed a lot as well was one of Chef Durand's appetisers, the "Ravioles D'escargots" which featured #escargot wrapped in fine, handmade pasta and cooked in a delectable broth of sweet garlic and fresh herbs.
It is actually cod fish wrapped in chorizo! Chef Durand has recommended to chew on the leaf first then have a taste of the cod fish. You might be surprised that the leaf tasted like oyster. Firm cod wrapped in chorizo added a nice savoury to the light cod fish. The sauce was lip smacking good! You might be tempted to get some bread to scoop all the sauces from the plate.
Atlantic cod roasted with chorizo served with Champignon bouquet, oyster and seaweed emulsion .
Cabillaud Roti Au Chorizo at S$35.

Thank you @ginettechittick and @rain498 for the hospitality!
Check my profile for the link to my full review!
Be amazed at how the same piece of Black Angus beef can taste differently at different stages of aging (3/6 weeks). The steak tasted better dry aged as the meat starts to break down over time resulting in more tender and flavourful with a more robust and beefy taste. I would like to have the steak on its own. Alternatively, you may also dip into the recommended sauces such as blue cheese, red wine and bearnaise sauce to bring out the flavours.
Ginett's dry-aged specials starting from S$46++ and are available in prime cuts of Black Angus beef.

The premiere of Deepa Mehta's upcoming movie, "Midnight's Children" raised a fresh controversy on Wednesday at the 17th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) after showing former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in a poor light.
According to reports, R. Balakrishna Pillai, former Kerala minister and estranged father of State Cinema Minister K.B Ganesh Kumar, was the first to lash out at the film's makers, saying that the screening should not have taken place. "This should not have been allowed to be screened because Indira Gandhi is a passion for many..." IANS quoted him as saying.
Taking a dig at Kumar, Pillai said, "The minister should take up the responsibility for this mess."
Pillai, who heads Kerala Congress (B), and Kumar were in the spotlight over the past year for their verbal attacks against each other.
Describing the controversy as 'needless', Kumar retorted, "A cinema should not be seen politically. Those who are airing opinions are those who have not seen the film. But I felt sad when at the end of the film the Indian map was shown... it was without Kashmir."
As per reports, the movie has irked many other local Congress leaders, including former minister and Congress leader Pandalam Sudhakaran, who argued that the movie was unacceptable for its poor portrayal of the country.
The film, which reportedly had trouble in finding distributors in India, is now facing turmoil amid rumours that film will be banned following the screening.
Dispelling the reports, Mehta said that the movie will hit 400 theatres across India.
Midnight's Children, which will be released on Dec 28, is a film based on Salman Rushdie's novel with the same title. The story plot revolves around the emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi in June 1975. The film cast includes Satya Bhabha, Siddharth, Ronit Roy, Rahul Bose, Anupam Kher, Darsheel Safary, Soha Ali Khan and Shabana Azmi.
Along with Deepa Mehta, actors Rahul Bose and Rajat Gupta were also present at the premiere.

Storming HeavenBook - 1998
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp Series
Punished for his maverick ways, FBI agent Mark Beamon has been exiled from Washington, D.C., to a sleepy Southwest office where he's got one last chance to play by the rules. But that's not going to happen, not when he's on a case that may be too hot even for his unorthodox talents to handle.
A local millionaire and his wife are brutally murdered. Jennifer, their teenage child and sole heir; is the prime suspect -- and she's gone missing. Laying everything on the line, Beamon sets offon a trail that takes him from a remote survivalist's cabin in the Utah mountains, through the labyrinthine headquarters of a cultlike church, into the shadowy, interlocking boardrooms of a powerful high-tech communications empire.
Just when he thinks he's close to finding answers, Beamon discovers the killing of Jennifer's parents is far more sinister than even he could have guessed. Now he isn't just looking for a young girl -- he's got to stop a bizarre conspiracy that could bring America to its knees...

When to Hold'em and When to Fold'em?/
While discussing image storage and management the other day with a past safari client, I mentioned that I am tossing fewer and fewer images into the electronic abyss these days. If fact, I frequently find myself returning to Lightroom (LR) to process some of those shots that dropped out on the first cut. With the ability of LR to often effectively recover overexposed images with ease, I am often surprised what I can pull out of the trash can (you can also do this recovery in Photoshop however, LR seems just a little more intuitive to me). The image below is a screen shot of the develop module showing the results of before and after processing. Normally I would have simply made a terminal pass of this image due to an accidental setting in my camera. With LR I can recover images such as these with ease. Even more powerful is LR3; with impressive improvements from LR2, it is my mainstay for processing my digital images. Setting the white and black points with a brightness correction results in a totally usable image. Additional enhancements included a gentle "S" curve and other minor tweaks. Total processing time on this image was less than 2 minutes. Once I am happy with the final image, I export to PS CS5 for sharpening and final print preparation.
The finished image ready for web is below. BTW, I have never seen skies as blue as those in Namibia (no enhancement to the skies).
Cheers and happy photo'ing

Hello all! I'm an equine artist and I'm looking into doing horse portraits at some point. Problem is, I don't have any recent samples! I was hoping I could get a few photos to draw from to be able to use for advertising purposes. The original photo will be shown alongside the drawing, so please make sure you own the rights to the photo! The portraits I draw from these photos will NOT be sold, however, I can offer a scanned copy to photo volunteers, or can discuss shipping if you desperately want a copy. Thank you in advance for your help!

Gate Jumping Competition
talktalktalk replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqthe winning pair makes sense, i think the rider is a jockey (steeplechase perhaps?) really fun to watch. love the little white horse!
Calling All Pros...
talktalktalk replied to cleverhorse's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqLocal tack shops? Does your area or state have a horsey webpage where people can advertise for free? Craigslist? I don't have much experience, but those are the places I'd try to advertise anything!
On The Hunt
talktalktalk replied to Cantering Cait's topic in Kids Onlya free lease is a great idea! unless you're buying to resell, a free lease is basically a free horse for as many years as you & its owner want. AND, there's a better chance that the horse is legit. a lot of free leases are nice horses whose owners want to keep them instead of selling, which is a good sign :)
Back In The Saddle!
talktalktalk replied to hunterjumper06's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqI totally feel you on the fear thing. I had some really bad jumping experiences and am just now, over 10 years later, comfortable doing 2' courses and a little higher on horses I really trust! What helped me get over it was just jumping little things on horses I trust over and over until I was sick of it and was ASKING to go higher. If getting left behind is a big fear of yours, try approaching the jump in a solid two-point with mane in hand, so that you can just stay there. If the horse jumps early, guess what? You're ready for it!
Giving Up On My Lease Already?
talktalktalk replied to GreenMeadowsGirl's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi was riding a horse for free and still couldn't get myself to keep riding him. i kind of went through the same thing, he was super fancy and pretty but not worth it to me. he was overall alright but had a really obnoxious spooking habit that i just didn't want to deal with. if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. glad you've made up your mind, i think it's the best decision based on what you said :)
talktalktalk replied to texasrose908's topic in Kids Onlyi swear by this: http://www.conair.com/infiniti-by-conair-instant-heat-ceramic-2-straightener-p-71-1_73_12.html although i think i have an older version of it (but it looks the same). amazon & walmart have it for around $30. anyway, i have super thick hair (both a lot of it and really thick strands), and this is the ONLY straightener i've used that both works and doesn't make it feel really damaged (even chis make it feel awful). eta: jump over water (sorry, too lazy to quote), did you mean you wanted your hair to be straight as in not curling out at the bottom? make sure that when you straighten, you bring the straightener in the direction you want your hair to go (like kind of curl it under). if your hair tends to curl out like that, straighten it inwards more strongly. also, you may have to get some kind of product to texturize your hair and kind of 'thicken it up' so that it will hold straight.
Flash Nosebands
talktalktalk replied to texasrose908's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi agree with moving the noseband up 2 holes, but i think the bit is fine. i see a little wrinkle, and i prefer a slightly lower bit to a really tight one. i think the "daylight" is not really from the noseband being too loose, but from it being stiff?
Hunter Seat?
talktalktalk replied to Zoe84's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqI might have misunderstood, but I think the OP wants to know what hunters in general are and just found that video as as search for hunter seat because that's what it tends to be called in the open show world. IF this is the case, I don't have time for a long explanation right now, but maybe someone can take it from here
Tips On Ground Training
talktalktalk replied to i<3myhorses's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi don't know a ton about bits, but i'm pretty sure i saw someone post this on another board on HC and it seemed to make sense to me. but someone correct me if i'm wrong, because i really have no idea what i'm talking about. i think they had said that the horses might like the kimberwicke better due to the mouthpiece. because the mouthpiece is typically ported, it takes some pressure off the tongue? if you're using regular single jointed snaffles, it may be uncomfortable. i believe the poster suggested using a french link instead. maybe this is why the horses seem to prefer one bit over the other?
This Is Kind Of Cool. Helmet Cam On Horse Free Jumping.
talktalktalk replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/Eqi love these. but what i really want to see is like, side by side helmet cam and regular cam so you can see how it looks from both angles!

New Technology Reveals Riders Eye Movement Is Key To Show Jumping Success
talktalktalk replied to psmitty's topic in Hunter/Jumper/EqI think when jumping smaller jumps or learning how to jump, a lot of trainers will say look past it as a way of making the person pretend the jump isn't there. Sometimes people get too focused on the jump and worry, jump ahead, nitpick, etc.

Fast Market Research recommends "Tobacco in Costa Rica" from Euromonitor International, now available
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2013 -- The proliferation of small, informal brands and the increasing availability of illicit trade products was the main trend in the Costa Rican cigarettes category during 2011.

Send your workplace conundrums to email@example.com, including your name and contact information (even if you want it withheld). The Workologist is a guy with well-intentioned opinions, not a professional career adviser. Letters may be edited.
Recently you advised a reader who has eight years to go until retirement and is trying to decide whether to stick with an unhappy job or look for something new. ("Is a Late-Career Change Worth It?," March 3, 2018.)
I wish you had offered the thought that first this person should petition for less travel (since travel seemed to be the main source of dissatisfaction). I find many teams are willing to work around an individual collaborator's inability to travel a lot. This could encourage the worker to consider options within the current company, which might prove beneficial.
Your reader who is eight years from retirement and hates her job might do well to look into what is often called "job crafting." Perhaps there is some way to remake the job or remake how the person thinks about his job, and end up feeling more fulfilled.
Even if that doesn't work, the person might still use some of those approaches to craft the next job, to make it as fulfilling as possible. A positive psychology career coach (I am one) can help with this.
That column inspired quite a few responses. And I think the idea expressed in these two replies — to make this less of a binary stay-or-go decision, and instead try to reshape the job at hand — deserves further exploration. In fact, I was curious enough about Gayle Scroggs's positive-psychology take on job crafting that I gave her a call, and then explored academic research on the subject.
But before I get to that, it's worth briefly sharing some of the other feedback I received. The column argued for thinking hard about exploring new options with an open mind, suggesting that one would most likely regret giving in to the idea that there's no choice but to ride out those unhappy years until retirement.
And indeed a number of readers offered their own anecdotes of late-career-change success stories. One quit Wall Street for a public sector job in Rhode Island, and called the move "very rewarding." Another described two years working (and networking) her way toward escaping a "toxic boss" and unhappy work culture.
"At 59, I switched jobs last year and have never been happier," she wrote. "Make a plan, set yourself a deadline, and do the work."
A couple of readers actually suggested I was too wishy-washy about arguing for a change: "One might get to a traditional retirement age and not be able to enjoy life," one reader argued, "so why put off living the very best life one can possibly have each and every day?"
That said, a few readers sounded cautionary notes. One described going back to school to switch career trajectories — and having a hard time finding work afterward.
"Looking back, I wish I had done more research on education after age 50," this person wrote. "This was a costly option and I now have many regrets."
On Twitter, another reader cited the work of Herminia Ibarra, a professor of organizational behavior at London Business School, who has advocated a "test-and-learn" approach to career management: experimenting with new work interests on a smaller scale, rather than making a sweeping change.
That idea is not very far from trying to reshape one's current job rather than dump it for a new one. Job crafting, it turns out, is a term associated with the work of Amy Wrzesniewski, a professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management.
It involves focusing on the elements of your job that you can control, to steadily reshape your own gig. This might mean emphasizing certain tasks over others, or changing the nature and frequency of interaction with particular colleagues. Those might seem like marginal actions, but the idea is they can add up to a more satisfying day-to-day experience.
They can also help you work with your boss to adjust your responsibilities so that they better match your (evolving) skills, Ms. Scroggs suggested when we spoke.
"Work on engagement," she said. "You want to have a supervisor who cares about you, and say 'This is how I do my best work, can I do it this way?'" So asking for something like a reduction in work travel can be positioned as something that isn't just better for you, it's better for the organization.
Job crafting can sound more like a coping strategy than a plan for discovering your calling — but sometimes that may be appropriate. It can be helpful to frame such changes as something practical and doable, not radical and dramatic.
Ms. Scroggs recounted coaching one burned-out client to make her commute more enjoyable, and invite friends to lunch, for example.
"I focused her on appreciating the positive things," rather than obsessing over the negatives, Ms. Scroggs said. These modest-sounding actions, barely related to work itself, ended up improving the client's performance and overall comfort with her job.
"Then she told me the bad news," Ms. Scroggs added with a laugh, "which was that she didn't need me anymore."
