Variety is an essential variable in achieving fitness goals, so we have developed seven unique group classes that are designed to provide intensity range and a motivating environment that will perfectly complement your personal training sessions; making it easier to achieve your fitness goals and get the body you've always wanted.
Sweat Like Betty (Betty being teenage vernacular for an attractive woman) is a high-energy, women-only, fat loss class featuring a rotation of free weight stations. These stations include deadlifts, squats, chin-ups, and sled drags. Sweat Like Betty is designed to deliver lean and strong physique results in a unique training environment. Weight training is crucial to fat loss, and without it, any changes to scale weight will mostly reflect muscle loss. Sweat Like Betty provides a fun, safe, and motivating environment for women to weight train the right way.

Our instructors make adjustments to each exercise, making class suitable for women of all fitness levels. So come and experience a weight training environment that is big on camaraderie and breaks through barriers; letting you unleash your full potential. Come Sweat Like Betty!
This men-only training program is for guys looking to boost testosterone, build muscle, and improve strength. This class will push you physically, but not break you. That's not the point. Our goal is to help you, get you fit and get your body moving and burning fat. Wake the Beast uses a variety of classic lifts and workout actions along with some more modern moves to bring variety to class and keep you energized. Traditional lifts like the deadlifts, squats, and chin-ups are paired with contemporary actions such as flipping tires, carrying sandbags, and pushing sleds. In this one-hour training program, we use relative-strength and hypertrophy techniques to unleash your fat loss potential... to wake the fitness beast inside of you.
Core is a recognizable buzzword in the fitness world. It is most commonly associated with the image rock hard abdominal muscles, but the core involves so much more than just abs. The glutes, the lower back, and the abdominals are all integral components of a strong and fully functioning core. We incorporated core strengthening techniques into most of our training programs and created Hardcore to provide additional opportunities for you to develop your core strength. Hardcore is a 45-minute co-ed program blending functional yoga, pilates, and other mat-based exercises into an energetic environment targeting the improved function and strength of the abs, glutes, and lower back - aka 'The Core.'
Stronger is a co-ed training class featuring Modified Strongman Training (MST) program techniques with an emphasis on high-intensity lifts and unique equipment pieces. MST exercises include tire flips, sledgehammer swings, sled sprints, and rope battles, which are just part of this intense one-hour training class. MST is so effective, we incorporate its principles into most of our training programs and recommend that clients do at least one modified strongman training session per week to maximize results. Stronger was designed to provide you with an opportunity to push yourself in a dynamic, exciting, and motivating group setting, getting you the necessary exposure to MST to help you achieve your fat-loss goals.
Core Pilates is a complete fitness system of controlled movements using exclusive apparatus, designed to improve physical strength, flexibility, and posture. It is also helpful in improving mental awareness and cognition. Because there is a considerable component of breathing, different than yoga practice, Pilates helps to oxygenate your blood; traveling throughout your body and through your brain. We offer Pilates as a stand-alone class or with other courses to enhance our other strength training programs to give you the fullest experience possible while keeping your body safe, flexible and toned. Join us and try Core Pilates today!
Finally, a non-yoga based class designed to improve flexibility and range-of-motion for all types of weight training and athletic performance. Core Flex is a 45-minute mat-based co-ed group class leads you through the 'why' and 'how' of using traction to stretch the fascia and muscle; providing a remarkable change in flexibility. Not all stretching is created equal, though. Aggressive or 'forced' stretching can be painful and counterproductive. Core Flex instructs proper breathing and stretch-wave technique followed by a combination of traction methods. With the use of partner work, straps, bands, and bars to unlock layers of tissue, you will be able to decompress your joints, enabling you to run faster, squat deeper, and repair faster. This class is a fantastic compliment to ANY strength and conditioning program. Try it today!
FST™, or Fascial Stretch Therapy™, is a complete and cohesive system of innovative manual therapy and movement training that rapidly and radically reorganizes, realigns and re-educates the entire body structure.
FST can be used regionally to quickly restore function and eliminate pain, increase flexibility, increase strength, improve lymph and blood flow, and improve neural dynamics. FST is a unique, complete, and complementary system of table-based assisted stretching that focuses on the fascia as the critical element in achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance and pain relief.
Ann and Chris Frederick developed this technique on research that examines the dynamic links between muscles, fascia, and ligaments. The way in which FST incorporates these interactions is what makes it so useful. Certified Fascial Stretch Therapists use a variety of assessments to understand the way clients move before developing a treatment plan. During FST treatments, therapists us traction to reduce muscle and fascia tension while providing a stretch from the joint capsule out.
During FST fascial stretching sessions, your body is moved in an undulating spiral and diagonal patterns known as stretch waves. Breathing rates synchronize with stretch waves, varying in speed, creating a direct impact on the nervous system which can induce deep relaxation.
Core Fitness Chicago is the largest provider of Fascial Stretch Therapy in the country with certified Level I, II, and III practitioners.
Active Release Technique or A.R.T. (also written as ART) is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system/movement based on massage techniques. ART treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves. ART is used to benefit and repair conditions that arise from repetitive or overuse syndromes, including back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, etc.
Acupuncture is a unique aspect of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), involving the insertion of fine sterile needles in various combinations and patterns to facilitate the flow of Qi (energy) within the body. Each specific organ and region in the body pairs up with a meridian of energy. These 'acupoints' along the meridian can be used to influence the health of the corresponding organ or region. The energy that is used to strengthen a weak organ is added to the selected meridian point(s) with acupressure, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxa (heat), or magnets. Acupuncture is most useful for channeling excess energy (ions, electrons) out of the body. Therefore, conditions such as pain, tension, stress, and anxiety respond exceptionally well to this type of treatment. Research has shown that acupuncture boosts chemicals that relieve pain and elevate mood. These chemicals are endorphins, serotonin, and GABA. Acupuncture also regulates cortisol (stress hormone) and immune activity in the body.
Moxa, or Moxibustion, is the process of burning Moxa, the charred herb Artemisia vulgaris or 'mugwort.' When burned on or over the skin, moxa produces a deep penetrating warmth that stimulates and moves Qi (energy). Moxa has been used for hundreds of years to successfully to reduce pain and swelling resulting from exercise and athletics, especially in joints and the back. Moxa is also commonly used on the abdomen and legs for digestive problems and is an invaluable therapy for certain types of menstrual pain.
Cupping is the application of suction cups to particular spots on the body; used to enhance circulation. Cupping, which can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture, increases circulation, reduces swelling, and allows nutrients to flow into an area while toxins or waste flow out. Not surprisingly, cupping is most commonly used to treat pain, injury (e.g., a sprained ankle), and stubborn stress induced knots in the musculoskeletal system. Cupping should not hurt and though treatments typically last between ten and twenty minutes, 'cup marks' may appear. These cup marks often look like purple or red bruises in the shape of the cup can and last for several days. Though this may sound somewhat undesirable, cupping results tend to show a direct correlation between the darkness of the cup mark and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Personal training is our most popular service where you achieve the most dramatic results over the shortest period. Personal training is just that, training sessions that are personal with only you, the client, and your trainer. Your trainer dedicates themselves to helping only you during your training sessions. They use custom-designed workouts, personalized nutritional planning, and other tools applied to you to help you achieve your overall health and fitness goals.
Some common goals among current clients include fat loss; relieving back, knee, and shoulder pain; improved athletic performance (high school, college, Olympic, professional); physical rehabilitation; and physique competition. Your training goals are the focus of our efforts. We are here to assist you in your journey and will use knowledge, science, experience, and technology to get you successfully to your health and fitness goals.
Herbal Medicine is the Chinese equivalent to Western pharmacology. Following diagnosis, by a Licensed Acupuncturist, an herbal prescription may be recommended; one in the form of a tea, pill, tincture, or externally applied powder, soak, or steam. The formula may contain anywhere from one to twenty different medicinal substances from plants, minerals, or animals. The most common form of prescription is as a tea. Herbal medicine can be used as a stand-alone therapy although it is quite common to prescribe in conjunction with acupuncture treatments. The formula is a way of amplifying the effects of acupuncture and continuing the treatments at home. Unlike Western pharmacology, Chinese herbal medicine uses customized prescriptions for each to minimize or eliminate potential side effects.
Infrared, or Far Infrared Saunas, use infrared light and ceramic tiles to produce radiant heat. Infrared light penetrates the layers of the skin, getting into the tissue to improve blood circulation. It also helps lower blood pressure and aids in Phase III detoxification and relaxation. Clinically speaking, infrared sauna use has been shown to be ten times more potent than simple steam sauna use, in supporting the body's natural detoxification ability.
Results from training sessions are only as good as the nutrition used in support. Appropriate nutritional recommendations are often the linchpin of successful fitness regimens. Unfortunately, this area is also the most challenging in which to gain compliance. To that end, we have developed a nutritional program using five simple steps to deliver profound results. This 5-step process ensures the steps selected are custom to you, your life, and your commitment level.
We also offer nutritional program meetings which are intended to provide you with the information you need to make the food choices for your biochemical individuality. These educational gatherings are an opportunity to present related nutritional tasks and recommendations for dietary supplements and herbal formulas. These recommendations best support your goals and provide nutritional tasks for each session. We expect that by learning what, when, and how you should eat, you will unleash the optimal version of you.
The liver is the primary organ of detoxification and the target of most detox programs. Its central role in detoxification is to neutralize or remove harmful toxins in the body, though other organs including the bowel, kidneys, and lymphatic system all play essential roles. The liver achieves this by converting toxins into compounds that can excrete through your sweat, stool, and urine. This process breaks into three main phases that we will discuss in detail with you during sessions and courses.
We live in a noxious world filled with environmental toxins, those in makeup, lotions, cleaning products, water, and food. Even organic foods have some level of toxins, though they are significantly less in most of these products. Get the point? Toxins are always around us; in our environments, in our foods, in our air, and though the body is designed to get rid of these toxins, we don't always give it the raw materials needed to exist, let alone thrive, in our overly toxic world.
Though it is rare for any supplement to be essential to life, the following list includes ones that are the source of common nutritional deficiencies and can be used to improve the first, most critical intervention, which is your food intake. We offer decades of expertise in the supplementation industry to help you find the right ones that will benefit your workouts and lifestyle.

Snakes on Sunday Morning
A middle-aged woman was sitting in her den when suddenly a small snake crawled across the floor and under her couch. The lady, who was deathly afraid of snakes, promptly ran to the bathroom to get her husband who was taking a shower. The man of the house came running from the shower, with only a towel wrapped around his waist, when he heard his wife scream. He took an old broom handle and began poking around under the couch to try and coax the snake out.
At that point, the family dog heard the commotion and came into the den to see what all the ruckus was about. In his curiosity over the actions of the husband, the little dog touched his wet, cold nose to the back of the man's heel. Instead of realizing what had happened, the man thought that the snake had out-maneuvered him and bitten on the foot. Therefore, the man fainted dead away.The wife, not realizing what had taken place, concluded that her husband, because of the physical exertion over trying to kill the snake, had suffered a heart attack. She immediately rushed to the phone and called 911. The ambulance arrived promptly and the paramedics placed the man, who was now only semi-conscious, on a stretcher. As they were transporting him down the steps, the snake reappeared and crawled through one of the paramedics legs and out the door. At this point, the paramedic, who was also deathly afraid of snakes, became so excited that he dropped his end of the stretcher and the fall broke the husband's leg.
Of course, all of this happened on a Sunday morning, about 9:30 a.m., when the family should have been in Bible class. Now I realize that Bible class might not have helped this situation, but I also realize it sure wouldn't have hurt it. I hope to see YOU at each and every time we have Bible class. Check out Hebrews 10:25!!
For His Cause,Tim Woodward

In mid-April, Elementary & Middle Years teacher candidates will be asked to submit their ranked cohort preferences in an online form. Refer to your program option's registration guide for detailed instructions.
- Each cohort has limited seats. Please note, there is no guarantee of a particular cohort placement.
- Teacher candidates will be notified of their cohort placements in early May.
- French program teacher candidates do not need to submit their ranked cohort preferences as they register in the French cohort.
It is important to note that the program is the same regardless of which cohort is selected. However, the following can be considered when making a selection:
- Your interest in the pedagogical approach of the cohort
- The district(s) aligned with the cohort
- Extra coursework that may be required before September start (IB or Montessori)
Hiring practices vary with each school district based on application packages and the needs of the district. Districts are free to interview and hire teacher candidates from any of our cohorts, so practicum location does not restrict where teacher candidates may eventually apply or work.
Elementary & Middle Years: Complete the practicum placement request form after registering in your cohort.
Secondary: Complete the practicum placement request form.
There will be seminars for both Elementary & Middle Years and Secondary teacher candidates in September with further information regarding practicum placements.
It varies from year to year and is dependent upon which school advisors express an interest in mentoring a teacher candidate.
During the program, every effort will be made to place Primary Years cohort teacher candidates in K to Grade 3 placements. On occasion, this may be in a combined Grade 3/4 class.
Everyone who completes the UBC BEd program will be qualified to apply for certification to teach all grades from K-12 in the province of British Columbia.
Teacher candidates who complete the UBC BEd program will be qualified to apply for certification to teach all grades from K-12 in the province of British Columbia. School district employment needs and priorities vary each year so it is difficult to speculate on the benefits of particular cohorts.

stands for cascading style sheets. Css are a collection
of formatting rules which control the layout and design
of your webpage. Css allows you to have great control over
the exact appearance of the webpage.
Css styles allow you to control your webpage much better
than using HTML alone. You can set things such as bullet
points in pixel sizes, ensuring greater consistency across
the site whichever browser your visitor is using.Css is
very useful when it comes to updating your webpage. You
simply change the text style, colour etc once and it changes
across all your pages, instead of having to go to each page
and update it individually.To insert Css into a Dreamweaver
application, go to Window => Css Style. In the top right
of the screen, the Apply styles and Edit styles allow you
to you select different views of the CSS styles associated
with the current document. You use the Apply Styles to select
a class style that you want to apply to the document. You
then insert the document that you want to appear on the
various pages. To do this, click the fourth button from
the left at the bottom of the Css Styles panel and insert
the location of the relevant document.Each
css rule consists of two parts;
1. a selector that defines the HTML element(s) to which
the rule applies, and
2. a collection of one or more properties, which
describes the appearance of all elements in the document
that match the selector.
h1 {
colour: red;
The selector, h1, means that this rule applies to h1 headings
in the document. (Headings are explained above.) All headings
will be large and red.
You can select all paragraphs in the document to be included
using the selector, p.
p {
font-size: 15 pixels;
colour: black
This means that all the font in the paragraph will
be set at 15 pixels, and will all be green.
The commonest and most easy way to insert Css into your
webpage is to have it embedded into the head of the document's
<style type="text/css">
h1, h2 {
color: green;
h3 {
color: blue;
The css rules apply to all the designated parts of the webpage. Here, headings
1 (h1) and heading 2 (h2) are green and heading 3 (h3) is
blue. This will be throughout the document, yet the HTML
has had to be entered only once.

Cambodian football faces a trial of strength in the run-up to December's SEA Games when the curtain goes up on the 2013 Mekong Region Youth (U23) Tournament for the BIDC Cup at Olympic Stadium on Saturday.
Vietnam and Myanmar, both of whom have chosen to field U22 sides, will kick off the Group A opener at 2pm followed by a Group B game at 4pm involving Cambodia and Laos.
An official draw held last week bracketed Vietnam with Myanmar and Thailand in Group A while Group B clustered Cambodia with Laos and Malaysia.
Cambodia, under South Korean Lee Tae Hoon's second term as head coach, will be eager to paint a positive picture after nearly two years of disappointing results on the pitch.
They were winners of the inaugural edition of the BIDC Cup back in 2009. Myanmar beat Thailand 2-1 in extra time of the final in the 2011 edition.
But for one shining victory over a Malaysian U23 side, Cambodian football has had a rough passage with Lee's return preceded by the exit in quick succession of two Cambodian coaches – Hok Sochetra and Prak Sovannara.
Those two changes and Lee's recall indicating clearly the turmoil within and the team's shaken confidence and resolve.
While the South Korean strategist is not without his critics, he has his own way of dealing with this crisis of confidence.
"I am determined to bring in attitudinal changes in some players," the national coach told the Post.
"This is a very good window of opportunity to turn things around. I want the players to play a lot harder than they have been doing.
"Every game is important, so it doesn't really matter which group you are in. I feel the team balance is good and we can work out some good combinations depending on the situations."
The timing of this event is near perfect for all the contestants as a dry run for the SEA Games. There is a rest day after every set of games with the final slated for November 10.
The tournament is sponsored by BIDC, a Cambodian based subsidiary of Vietnamese Bank BIDV, which has pitched in $220,000 towards the running costs.
Cambodia's BIDC Cup Squad
Samrith Seiha (Naga Corp), Aim Sovannarath (Svay Rieng), Sar Sophea (Svay Rieng)
Nhem Sovannara (Kirivong SSC), Sok Rithy (Naga Corp), Nen Sothearoth (Svay Rieng), Touch Pancharong (Boeung Ket), Khiev Vibol (Boeung Ket), Sok Sovan (Boeung Ket), Keo Sokpheng (Boeung Ket)
Tum Saray (Svay Rieng), Prak Mony Udom (Svay Rieng), Chhun Sothearath (Boeung Ket), Chan Vathanaka (Boeung Ket)

Open and shut: Mac DeMarco's Another One
Stephen Malkmus kept his address to himself, but in an era of oversharing, perceptive indie weirdos have no more privacy reservations than the rest of us do. Mac DeMarco's level of fame is manageable enough to allow for some transparency, and he's reasoned that discovering his place of residence requires listening all the way through Another One. It's a pity this only takes 23 minutes, because DeMarco has reached a creative level occupied by few of his peers.
So why make another mini-album after two full-lengths? And if you're able to knock off high quality songs every day for a week, why not keep going a little longer? I doubt he's messing with us for the hell of it – spite doesn't really register on Mac's emotional pie chart – but given the alternate options of an LP or an EP (and the healthy momentum of his career), the chosen format is neither here nor there. Perhaps it's an attempt to deflate hype built up by last year's Salad Days, or maybe he'd said all he needed to.
The title works on two levels - first as a gateway to the record's themes of lost and unrequited love, second as a cocky nod to his prolific output. A commonly rorted perk of songwriting is how it enables one to have the last word in every dispute, but DeMarco resists the temptation to use private matters for point scoring. Names aren't named, arguments are left off the record, with ambiguous "you"s and "her"s leaving plenty of interpretation room. This isn't vagueness; the lack of specificity allows DeMarco's experiences to serve as a starting point for broader matters.
"No Other Heart" examines the foolishness of fantasising about a relationship that might well never happen, but implies a cautionary tale instead of bluntly stating one. Internal conflict between dreamer and realist is represented by the verse and chorus, with pleas to "give this lover boy a try" answered each time by the sober refrain of "her heart belongs to another". The bassline could almost tell the story by itself. A McCartney riff busily skips through the D major scale over love-struck lyrics, before darkening the mood with a single note on the word "heart".
DeMarco has spoken of a desire to simplify his songs, and there's new evidence of that development. None of the eight here have a bridge, nor are there any jarring meters like the 6/4 strut of "Cooking Up Something Good". While such eccentricities are missed, the decision pays off. Trimmed structures benefit these songs; parts can repeat with a lower risk of overstaying their welcome. "Just to Put Me Down" falls a little short; the four-bar groove not agile enough to disguise a chorus too similar to its verses. But it's redeemed by an excellent guitar solo, with tightly wound lines complementing the frustration in the lyrics. "I've Been Waiting for Her" brings a jolt of up-tempo optimism just when mid-tempo melancholy threatens to overwhelm. The directness of the song is a credit to DeMarco's craft; it takes talent to write a monotone chorus that you're actually glad to have stuck in your head.
For the second release in succession, DeMarco breaks the fourth string by greeting his audience at the end, this time inviting people over to his house for a cup of coffee. You wouldn't expect many New Yorkers to be arsed with a two hour train trip to the city's suburban outskirts, but dozens of fans have already accepted his offer, and a lot more are bound to visit now that Another One is released. To be that accessible while living in a remote area is no mean feat, and similarly, DeMarco's music has connected with a substantial audience through a style entirely of his own. This slight yet delightful record goes a fair way to explaining why people are making that pilgrimage to Bayfield Ave in Arverne.

With the release of patch 4.3.2 on the PTR Blizzard has given us a 64 bit client. This is not currently available for live servers. But may be available when 4.3.2 goes live. With that in mind it's very simple to install.
You can download the 64 bit client here.
Unzip the files and drop all of them in your WOW folder. One of the files is named WoW-64.exe. Run that to start your game.
That's it. Enjoy!
UPDATE (1/11/12) : The new 64 bit client doesn't have a patcher with it yet, so everytime they release a patch you have to download a new 64 bit client manually. At least until they get it integrated into the patcher system.
Standard Disclaimer: This information is from the PTR as of January 10, 2012. It may or may not change in the furure.

TearSolutions, LLC
TearSolutions has developed a proprietary synthetic fragment of lacritin, 'Lacripep'. Lacripep is water soluble, stable in human tears for 16 hr, and equipotent to lacritin in cell protection studies. Our outsourcing development plan will complete preclinical, through phase II studies within 3 years for a potential product launch within 5 - 6 years.
Our mission is to develop a topical therapeutic for dry eye that addresses cause.The co-founder discovered lacritin, a tear protein deficient in dry eye and yet vital for normal eye tearing. Preclinical studies reveal that a single topical dose of lacritin naturally promotes basal tearing without irritation that lasts for hours. After multiple daily doses, elevated natural basal tearing is sustained one week later. Lacritin is also protective against inflammatory cytokines. Corneal staining is reduced to background and lacrimal gland inflammation is diminished. No other tear protein, nor dry eye drug, displays these properties.

text: EZnec kibitzers welcome: See this model image: http://aprs.org/psat/VHF-circ-tuned-ask.gif We are placing two ¼ wave VHF whip antennas on a single feed at the corner of a 1.5U cubesat. We want them +/-45 degrees out of phase so that we get cross polarization when paralleled to a single feed point for simplicity. Modeling each one individually, we got the desired short one to -45 degrees with a coordinate of 23.04" and the long one to +45 degrees with a coordinate of 25.7". Great… But when we connect them both to the same feed point, we get a combined real R term about half of the others as expected, but do not get the desired J0 term but get something near -45 degrees and a resonance several MHz higher. To fix that, we lengthened each exactly the same amount to get the resonance down to 145.8 MHz and J=0 term. Good antenna…. The QUESTION IS: Are they still 90 degrees out of phase and will they work as a cross polarized antenna? And how can we verify that? The feed point is the center of a 0.1" wire between the cubesat wire frame and the combined end point of the antennas which are also 0.1" above the top of the cubesat. Maybe I should have included both wires in the original model, but only connected one at a time to a source and grounded the other one while trying to find their individual +/-45 degree lengths. This way, their passive action as a possible counterpoinse to the whole frame may be accounted for. Also, to get within the 500 data points for EZnec, we had to make all of the wire model 1" segments be a single segment per wire. Is fidelity maintained with only 1 segment per 1" wire? Bob, WB4APR

This is the end, the story's old and it goes on and on until we disappear. (1)
Well, this is it. My last day as a twentysomething.
I really would like to have some sort of epic last journal entry but I just don't have one.
My twenties have been hard. Sometimes they were downright horrible. Other times were the best of my life this far. I've traveled up and down the California coast, to the South, across the country to the Midwest, and across the world to Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I've made some amazing friends, fallen in love, gotten my heart broken, found God, lost my way and sorta found it again, and discovered that I have the strength to pull through difficult times with enough help from my friends, family, and God.
I've had a couple of okay jobs, a very horrible job, and finally have a job working for a company I love. They've all taught me something new. I've had a lot of money, a little money, and practically no money. Somehow, I usually have enough money to get by.
I've taken risks. I've had some wins. I've had some losses. I've wished and hoped and seen some come to be and others have remained a dream.
I've lost two of the most important people in my life – my grandpa first and my grandma second. I had the privilege of holding a newborn baby, hours after she was born. I've met some amazing little girls who aren't my own nieces but whom I love just like they were. I see hope and a future in them. I can only imagine the life ahead for them and how they will grow and experience some of the same things I've experienced.
I've learned that, as alone as I feel sometimes, I'm really not that alone. There's always going to be someone to reach out to. Things aren't always going to be easy but they won't always be tough either. I'm not a twentysomething anymore but I'm still me.
I don't feel like I should be thirty but I am. Time to deal with it and face this new day tomorrow with a hope for a future that is fulfilling, meaningful, and full of love.
Eek! Only 20 days left… (20)
So, I haven't been writing because, well, life got in the way. I wouldn't trade the past few days for anything though.
There's been some way crazy stuff happening but there's been some really, really awesome stuff happening too! Hence, why I haven't written.
I'm getting nervous for my birthday. Despite #alltheamazingthings that are coming up in the next 12-13 months, I'm still not ready to leave my twenties behind. I know that I'm still going to be me but that stupid 2 changing to a 3 seems to signify the end of my youth and the beginning of my adult life. As if now, I'm not allowed to silly or go on crazy adventures because that's the sort of stuff that goes on in your twenties not your thirties.
I feel like a broken record and I don't want to anymore. I am looking forward to going to San Fran for the dreaded day. I'll be helping out/staying at the YWAM base there. By helping out, I mean that I'll be tagging along with my friend who's a missionary there and hoping to get to do some ministry. I also hope to meet up with some people from the #STARTexp if we can arrange it.
Today was a really positive day. Good things are happening. Good, crazy, amazing things are in the works. I'll share when the time is right. For now, I'm off to sleep way past my bedtime.
Peace, love, and pumpkin spice lattes!
Sometimes having an "adult" job really sucks -or- In retrospect, getting laid off can be a good thing (83)
I work in Payroll and today was the first day that I wasn't exactly thrilled with my job. Up until now, I didn't really personally know anyone who got "termed" but today I did. I don't really know the person super well but we had hung out outside of work. So we weren't super close but I could still say we're friends. It was awkward and sad to have the knowledge that they weren't going to have a job at the company anymore and I knew about it before they did. But I knew this was part of the job and I also knew that this was going to be the most difficult part of my job for me.
I've never been fired before but I have been downsized. It came at me and all my coworkers from left field. We were working hard and our branch was doing well when, all of a sudden, the regional manager comes in, talks to the manager for a few minutes, our manager comes out of his office and calls a meeting, and the regional manager says.
"I'm going to keep this short and sweet. As of right now, this branch is closed. You have 5 minutes to pack up your desk and leave. Your final check will be sent to you through the mail."
And that was it. It was at a crazy bad time of my life for that to happen too. I had just signed a one year lease on an apartment that I loved and I was living 2,000 miles away from all my friends and family and in a really bad relationship with a guy who just got fired – on the same day that I got laid off! Luckily, my mom came out to visit for my birthday a week later and she kind of rescued me and told me I could move back home to Cali and start over. So I did.
I guess, in retrospect, getting laid off was the best thing ever to happen to me. It was the catalyst that set in motion some really good things that would happen a few years down the road. It still sucked for a really long time (like 2 years) after but it happened and now it's in the past so…there ya go. God used it for good and I ultimately was able to get out of that relationship which I probably would be miserable in right now had that not occurred.
But back to my current job. I really love the people I work with and the "family" like atmosphere we have. But the downside, which I know clearly see, is that, when you're that comfortable with people, it's hard to see them leave.
I don't even know anymore. Here's a brief explanation of what's been up.
So there's really no excuse for me letting myself down. I made a commitment to this blog and then gave up when life got super busy. There's really no guarantees that it won't happen again and again but I can't try to resurrect this poor old blog.
In short, what happened was I got super busy being a leader of an actual worship team and then found out some rather depressing news about my ex-fiancé that had to do with the fact that he couldn't keep it in his pants when I wasn't around 24/7. There's not enough time right now to go into all the things I'd like to say to him or about the situation so I just won't.
Then dropped off the face of the earth and have now decided it is time for this to become a reality again. After all, there's so much that has happened since I stopped writing and so much left to happen in these short last months.
So stay tuned. I hope I won't disappoint you.
My Heart, It Beats, Beats for Only You or Someday My Prince Will Come? (273)
Today I was praying and I got a really weird but oddly sweet image. While praying, I saw a human heart that was like a sponge and it was soaking full of water. Then a man wrung all the water out of the heart and it was left dry and fluffy. I then saw myself as a little girl, hugging the heart close to my body and swaying side to side. I don't know why this made me feel like I have hope that I will find love some day?
All day at work I felt a pretty strong sense of being loved. It was interesting. I'm pretty out of touch with my feelings when it comes to liking someone and I can almost never tell if someone else has feelings for me unless they're really blunt about it so I'm not sure if my weird lovey dovey feelings have to do with me having a dumb crush on someone or if it's something else. Regardless, I felt really in touch with God today and a really strong sense that He was with me. That was awesome!
Then, when I was leading worship tonight at Acton Rehab, I felt so overwhelmingly connected to God and head over heals in love with Him. It was as is He were a real person standing right in front of me and I was singing these songs of love and adoration directly to Him. It was beautiful and bittersweet. I really do love God but He knows that I need human connection too. I love feeling in love and I love God's love because it is completely unconditional and absolutely perfect but I also want the experience of imperfect, messy human love and all that it entails. But, for at least a few hours, I felt like I was in a loving, romantic relationship.
True, authentic worship awakens your soul and sets your heart on fire with love for God and love for others. It makes the sky seem more blue, the flowers look prettier, you feel as if you're floating on clouds, and you're more patient with people and kinder towards others. God's love is absolutely perfect, amazing, transforming, sustaining, life giving, and uplifting. I'm thankful that, while I don't have any romantic love between me and a man, I at least have the perfect love that God can give me. It sustains me in ways that no human relationship alone can. In fact, I don't see how any of my relationships would last without God's love. I just hope that, some day soon, God will allow me to have the love of a man who I too will be in love with. For now, my heart beats for God alone!

You're as Subtle as a Brick on the Small of My Back/ Breaking Dawn Part Two was awesome (326)
I'm beginning to think it might be a wee bit too lofty to assume I'll be able to write every day so let's all just be thankful I can find time to write at all. The problem is, I get all these thoughts that I'd like to write down all at the wrong times! For example, at work, on the way to work, while cooking dinner, while studying, while reading, while driving, etc. When I finally get home at night and get a chance to write it all down, I'm so tired I can't do anything more than lay down and go to sleep or numb my mind with a movie. In fact…
Sleep has been my extra curricular activity lately. Tuesday night I went to bed at 9:30pm and Wednesday I was asleep by 8:30pm. It kind of made me feel super old and boring to be honest. But at least I wasn't super tired at work the following mornings.
Then I kind of undid all my good deeds from sleeping so much by seeing the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn Part Two. It was worth it though. It was a really good movie! It was also a great way to end the franchise. There's a twist at the end of the movie that had me really pissed off while watching it but all was okay by the end of the movie. I can see why the screen play writer wrote it like that. I think it was a really good compliment to the book, especially since the book went in detail about peoples powers and we get to really experience Alice's power in that scene and get a glimpse into how it must feel to live in her world. I don't have any complaints about the movie except maybe baby Renesmee. That baby is super creepy. Okay and my second complaint would be getting more of the background of them hunting for an answer to how long Renesmee would live and getting to see more of Charlie. It was a bittersweet ending though. I love the movies and the books so much that it's hard to be happy that the past movie came out. It's the end of an era…albeit a good one.
I thought it was fitting that the director chose to show all the main characters from all the movies in the end before the credits ran. Because really, no movie/book was a standalone. You needed to read them all and watch them all to get the full story and get closure. This one might end up being my favorite of all the movies. Possibly… I'll make my decision I suppose after I see the other movies again and watch this one like 4 more times. 😉
I've been in a wrestling match with my emotions lately. While I like my job and the ministries I'm involved in, I'm not happy with other areas of my life and it's making me kind of depressed which makes me more tired and not wanting to go out to see people and not want to be involved in life in general. If you're reading this and know me personally, you might be shocked, idunno. I'm not really sure what to do about what's going on with me. It's not as if there's a switch to turn off how I feel unless I started taking drugs and that's not going to happen. I know that drugs and alcohol don't solve anything, they just hide the problem until you can no longer run from it or you end up dying. I know I can pray about it, and I have been, it's just not helping me right now. They're all subtle feelings too that end up compounding into something much larger and more painful. I don't even have a positive way to end this paragraph. It's interesting to think back on life when I'm feeling happy and when I'm feeling depressed and see how the picture changes. When depressed, the past seems like I've been mostly sad and depressed and unhappy most of my life. When I'm happy, it seems like I've just been hit with hard times here and there and some sad periods but mostly good and happy times. Different perspectives are pretty crazy huh? The same life lived, viewed from different lenses, has many different interpretations.

PAINT TOWNSHIP - Residents of Poplar Street involved in a 2006 sewage project will receive 60 day connection notices from the township officials announced Monday.
Township solicitor Michelle Tokarsky reported to supervisors that 18 of the 20 residents still unconnected to the recently finished project are making progress toward that end already.
Those still not connected at the end of 60 days project could be fined, she said.
However supervisors should look at each case individually in order to see if those in violation are making progress toward connection, she said.
The notice comes on the heels of a March 20 meeting designed to get residents the financial and construction information necessary for connections.

For the sake of the coming generations and the future of the children of the country vote for the opposition presidential pair, says Jumhooree Party (JP)'s council member Aishath Nahula.
JP's council member and JP leader Qasim Ibrahim's wife, Aishath Nahula said this while speaking to the people of AA. Rasdhoo on Friday, during her campaign trip to the atoll.
She said the opposition's voyage is one against oppression and injustice. This work is not for the benefit of a particular individual or a specific party, rather the reform work is for the coming generations and their due rights. The candidate that will be most loyal and truthful to the people is candidate number 2, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, therefore vote for him to end this oppression, Aishath Nahula said.
She also visited AA. Ukulhas and noted that the people of that island are unique in their courage and perseverance, which is evident by the work done by the island council. She had also appealed the people of Ukulhlas to vote for the opposition presidential pair.
Aishath Nahula said that it is her greatest wish that the people of the island, especially the women, work with the opposition alliance to reach victory on the September 23 vote.
Aishath Nahula, along with JP's team had travelled to AA. Feridhoo and Himandhoo during the campaign trip to garner support for the opposition.

Rain, Cat's and Dogs in Krueger.
When it rains in Africa, the skies erupt in flashes of light, in crashing waves of thunder, and torrents that wash the bush clean. And then in the morning, the sun comes out as in nothing had ever happened.
We laid in bed with the curtains open and watched the lightening streak across the dark horizon. Moments later, an explosion shook our small cottage. We shuddered as well.
So we had rain in Kruger Park. And this year, we also had dogs and cats.
Wild Dogs are rare. There are perhaps 300 in the reserve which is the size of New Jersey. And yeT, we came across a pack sleeping the first day. AnD then later, we encountered a youNG litter of pups playing along side the road. They romped, sniffed after small animals, and jumped in and out of fresh puddles. They looked like any fun-loving group of puppies. Except we knew their parents were hunting nearby and would tear us apart for food if they could.
Hyena are a menacing mass of muscle that can small a fresh kill half a mile away. They are not pretty. But they are definitely efficient. More interesting this year was our first sighting of Jackals, small fox-like creatures that seemed cuddly by comparison. So between the Wild, the Jakals, and the heyena, we had more dogs than ever before.
Following a tip from another driver on the road, we turned up a dusty side way and found on a ridge, a group of six Cheetah sunning and resting. I remember reading that cheetah are the only large cats that can be domesticated. How did they discover that?? I mean, who took the Leopard home??
The Cheetah are sleek and very, very fast. The next evening, we came across a pair that had just brought down an Impala. They immediately devoured the prime portion of meat and then laid back in the bush. Given time, they might eat more. Or a stronger predator or scavenger might come along and drive them off. Better to take the best right away. Nature is efficient that way...
Cheetah are nearly as rare as the Dogs. So it was a privilege to see a group, and even more significant to see them in "action".
The next day we saw more cats. Cars simply stopped and the congestion meant something was just off the road. We caught glimpses of Lions with fresh kills.
A highlight was a magnificent Leopard that stepped out onto a branch above the road. We watched him for perhaps two minutes. Than another car screeched to a stop and the silly driver let out a squeal. The cat disappeared. Otherwise, I might still be sitting the in awe.
One more rare sighting was a Black Rhino. Can you tell the difference? The black actually looks lighter to me than the white. But he eats bushes instead of grass so feeds more erect. His horn is shorter and his lips more pronounced.
Our Black had a fresh wound. If only he could tell us his story.
We drove from dawn until dusk each day. We saw Elephant, Giraffe, Hippo, Zebra, and a plethora of Antelope. One day we came across a fifteen foot Python sunning himself in the road.
South Africa remains a remarkable adventure. Working with the kids and Cape Mental Health is rewarding; the kiting is fun; Cape Town remains one of our favorite cities; it is always special to spend time with friends; and Kruger is magnificent.

By Mr. Robert P. Moncreiff
This vibrant portrait of Bart Giamatti encompasses his whole eventful lifestyles yet focuses in particular on his years at Yale college (1966–1986) and his short profession as a massive league baseball government (1986–1989). As student, instructor, after which college president, Giamatti was once an sought after and revered determine on campus. He solid his educational occupation in the course of turbulent many years, and his tenure in baseball was once no much less contentious, for as commissioner of baseball he oversaw the banishment of Cincinnati's Pete Rose from the sport for playing. The ebook attracts on Giamatti's quite a few writings and speeches to light up the nature and complexities of the guy and to appreciate the values that encouraged his leadership.Bart Giamatti used to be a cultural conservative and institutional reasonable at a time whilst such values have been out of style and below assault. At Yale, as a baseball govt, and certainly in all issues, Giamatti championed the comparable values of freedom and order. Robert P. Moncreiff areas Giamatti within the context of significant occasions at Yale, recounts intimately the felony context within which the Pete Rose affair opened up, and arrives at a nuanced knowing of this memorable man's lifestyles.

The fall was clouded by the near-fatal illness with meningitis of their three-year-old son Marcus. The boy received adequate care in the local hospital and made a full recovery, but Giamatti was uneasy about the absence of a sophisticated teaching hospital of the kind that would have come with a firstclass medical school. He already thought of himself as in ''exile'' from his true home at Yale, and the experience with Marcus intensified that feeling. As would always be the case, the Giamatti family did not entertain or socialize.
For the man of action we unquestionably provide a superb training—none better. For the man of intellectual achievement I am afraid that we are surpassed by Harvard, Columbia and Chicago. It was 1962 before this sentiment found a decisive echo, in the Report of the President's Committee on the Freshman Year, chaired by Professor Leonard W. Doob: We must view the whole educational process as a more mature and serious undertaking not only for those students who will join the learned professions, but also for those who will enter business, industry or government.
A motion to reject it put forward by members who thought it too lenient was decisively defeated, and the committee's recommendation was accepted. If SDS was looking for a stark confrontation with the university over the issue of ''amnesty'' for offenders, always a sympathetic one among students, Brewster's Yale did not give it to them. The turmoil of the sixties at Yale culminated in the events of the first weekend of May 1970—the so-called May Day crisis. Like the Wright Hall episode, the issue was civil rights rather than the war, though many antiwar activists participated and the situation was certainly worsened by President Nixon's announcement the last week in April of increased military aid for ≥∫ YA L E : S C H O L A R A N D T E A C H E R an invasion of Cambodia.

People travel to the Drakensberg Mountains to hike, listen the Drakensberg Boys Choir sing, view exquisite bushman rock art, enjoy the many arts and crafts while meandering the many scenic roads and of course tasting the endless supply of treats from the great tea gardens, coffee shops and restaurants. But here are 5 different Drakensberg experiences that are not on the normal tourist radar but should be.
- Walk South Africa's largest labyrinth. An 11-circuit Medieval Chartres design, 33m in diameter, with a grass pathway. It is also one of the largest labyrinths in the world and its pathway is 1000 metres, making it a total distance of 2 kilometres if you follow the desired journey of winding your way out again once you've reached the centre – plenty of time to contemplate, breath and luxuriate in the surrounding beauty. The idea is to prepare yourself carefully beforehand, doing things like quietening the mind, removing your watch and switching off your cell phone, taking deep breaths and contemplating a purpose for the walk, even though releasing any expectations is key to the allowing the pattern's energy and purpose to reveal themselves.
- Horse trail riding amongst game including rhinos. At Zulu Waters Private Game Reserve you can do just that in a safe and controlled environment. Rides are daily and last about 2 hours. The landscape is beautiful and the experience once in a lifetime.
- Spend a day with Andrew Attwood in his wood working studio and learn to make something creative your self. Andrew takes beginners and after just 1 day they already have a good idea of how to make some pretty quirky things. Like a hand crafted chess set including the board in just a day and a half. Or maybe a chair or a table or a quirky lamp.
- Learn to spin wool with Conny and her team of women. Here they take the whole process seriously from the sheering of the sheep, carding the wood, spinning, weaving of rugs and knitting of garments. And if you have ever wanted to try your hand at spinning or weaving this has got to be an opportunity that is not to be missed
- Learn to make cheese with Chris and Sue form Marakesh Cheese farm. Chris has been making exquisite farm cheeses for more than 10 years and has built a reputation of excellence. Spend a day with him in his dairyand learn to make 2 or 3 kinds of cheese in a practical and hands on way.

The Apple TV 4K was unveiled in September 2017, and it's pretty great, but we're never satisfied with what we've got. Instead, we're looking ahead to the next version of the Apple TV: the sixth-generation model, which we hoped would appear alongside Apple TV+, but it failed to materialise at the 25 March event.
The Apple TV is Apple's set-top box that combines a digital media player, a games machine and a platform for apps with the ability to stream content from iOS devices and Macs to a TV. Apple used to describe the Apple TV as a 'hobby' product, but it looks like Apple is finally ready to transform the television industry as Steve Jobs told his autobiographer it would.
But despite Apple's plans to take on Netflix and Amazon with its new on-demand TV service, the future of the Apple TV set-top-box is uncertain. In fact it is possible that Apple won't launch another Apple TV box, preferring instead to partner with TV manufacturers. News that Samsung will be supporting iTunes Movies and TV Shows on their new TVs (while Sony and others will support AirPlay 2) certainly hints that Apple may choose to work with TV manufacturers rather than update the Apple TV in the future.
A MacRumors report also claims that Apple is negotiating with Roku about including support on those devices.
It certainly seems that for once Apple isn't insisting that the new service be limited to Apple devices. We look at other reasons why there might not be a new Apple TV below.
Release date
The Apple TV might not be the only device that you can stream Apple's new shows on, but it does look likely that Apple will upgrade its set top box. The company has budgeted billions for the TV+ service that it launched on 25 March 2019, so we expect a new Apple TV to launch imminently - perhaps at WWDC in June. Read about the next Apple event here.
Based on past behaviour, the Apple TV is due an update. The fifth-gen Apple TV came out in September 2017. Here's when each of the models came out:
- Apple TV (first gen): Jan 2007
- Apple TV (second gen): Sep 2010
- Apple TV (third gen): Mar 2012
- Apple TV (fourth gen): Oct 2015
- Apple TV (fifth gen, 4K): Sep 2017
You can get a 32GB 4th generation Apple TV for £149. This model launched in October 2015.
The newer Apple TV 4K currently sells for £179 (with 32GB of storage) or £199 (64GB). The next generation of Apple TV is likely to be priced at a similar point.
However, Apple could offer a cheaper Apple TV dongle to compete with the Fire Stick and Google Chromecast. The dongle might help the company reach the masses with its new streaming video service.
New features
The new full-fat Apple TV is likely to feature an array of new hardware features, which we outline in the below section.
You can also expect some enhancements to tvOS - the version of iOS that works on the Apple TV. It was introduced with the Apple TV in 2015 and brought with it the Apple TV Store.
AirPod Siri support
You can pair the Apple AirPods, with the Apple TV. With older AirPods it is possible to pause shows with a double-tap but Siri commands couldn't be used. However, if you have the new 2019 AirPods 2 they can respond to "Hey Siri" commands (more details about the 2019 AirPods here) so, perhaps, it will be possible to activate Siri on the Apple TV via the new AirPods.
It is possible to use other Bluetooth headphones with the Apple TV, but there are some limitations as to how many Bluetooth devices can be paired, especially if one of them is an audio accessory.
Face recognition
Apple's recent forays into facial recognition tech found fruition in the unlocking method used by the iPhone X. Some, however, suggest the technology could also come to the Apple TV.
A future Apple TV could include face recognition technology so that once your Apple TV 'sees' you it could automatically pull up your specific preferences for music, TV and - should HomeKit be integrated into the Apple TV - your IoT devices such as heating and lighting. This could also allow for seamless user profiles.
While it's an interesting idea, we don't think it'll be a key feature of the sixth-generation Apple TV.
Will Apple make its own game controller?
Apple currently offers the Siri Remote with the Apple TV. There have been calls for Apple to make its own controller for gaming on the Apple TV, especially as some gamers feel that the games available for the Apple TV are hampered by Apple's insistence that games work with the Siri Remote, but it is unlikely that Apple would develop its own controller.
Here's what we're expecting in terms of spec updates.
Bigger hard drive
Given the 4K capabilities in the most recent Apple TV, we felt that an increased storage allocation was likely, but instead it comes in 32GB and 64GB models, the same as on the 4th-gen model.
We expect that Apple will add a 128GB offering at some point, and it is conceivable that a 256GB version could be added. Mind you, we suspect that Apple's customers don't need so much, since they are streaming content and storing content in iCloud.
We've always thought it would be great is if Apple combined the Mac mini with the Apple TV so that you could have a media centre in your living room with all the features of both Mac and Apple TV - except it's more likely to combine the features of an iPad/iPhone since it runs a version of iOS.
The Apple TV 4K needed a faster processor, and sure enough it got an upgrade from the A8 chip, which was launched with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in September 2014 to the A10X Fusion. Another upgrade is a possibility for the sixth model.
What will Apple's new TV content include?
Apple is preparing to launch some TV shows - actual original content - and has made a lot of significant hires in that field. It is also in talks with movie studios about the chance to offer rentals of movies just weeks after they appear in cinemas.
There is more information about Apple's plans to make its own programmes in this article: Apple's TV and movie streaming plans.
Over the past few years the company had been attempting to reach agreements with a number of production companies - it was even rumoured to be considering buying Time Warner - but Apple's talks with production companies broke down, according to Bloomberg.
The company hasn't given up on the idea, and may just let others do the hard work for it. As Apple's head of services Eddy Cue said: "Whether we're providing it or somebody else is, it really doesn't matter to us. What we're trying to do is build the platform that allows anybody to get content to consumers. If a Time Warner [Cable] or a DirecTV wants to offer a bundle themselves, they should do it through Apple TV and iPad and iPhone."
Apple may have changed its tactics in providing access to content to watch on the Apple TV, but we expect it will be overhauling the way it offers content over the next few months. We anticipate a move away from the pay-per-programme and film-rental format of iTunes now that Netflix and other services successfully offer this content to subscribers.
Is TV still important to Apple?
With the iPhone being such a large part of Apple's business, and the Apple Watch potentially being the device that takes it into the future, could the Apple TV fall into oblivion? In the past Apple has let years pass without updating the device - could the same thing happen again? We doubt it.
As we mention above, the original Apple TV was announced in January 2007, shipping in March 2007, making this year its tenth anniversary (we think Apple could be planning a new Apple TV to celebrate this milestone). A lot has changed in the past ten years. Initially Apple referred to the Apple TV as a hobby product, but in recent years it has become a much more significant part of the business.
In fact, TV was an area of great interest to Apple's late co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, who told his biographer Walter Isaacson: "I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use... It will have the simplest interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it." The appearance of this quote in the Steve Jobs biography led to years of speculation that Apple would launch a TV set. Despite those rumours, an Apple TV set never appeared, but Apple remained interested in the area.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said in September 2014: "Think how much your life has changed, and all the things around you that have changed, and yet TV, when you go into the living room to watch TV or wherever it may be, it almost feels like you're rewinding the clock and you've entered a time capsule and you're going backwards. The interface is terrible, I mean it's awful. You watch things when they come on unless you remember to record them."
Apple's first move to reinvent the TV came with the release of the updated Apple TV in 2015, and with it tvOS and the TV App Store. Over the months that have followed Apple has provided some software updates to users, but no new hardware... yet.
That doesn't mean Apple's given up on it: the hire of former Amazon Fire TV chief Timothy D Twerdahl indicates that TV is still an important area for Apple. Twerdahl is the new vice-president in charge of Apple TV. He was previously the head of Amazon's Fire TV unit, and before that held executive positions at both Roku and Netflix, so he has plenty of experience when it comes to streaming TV services.
However, a Bloomberg report claims that Apple has had to make many compromises that mean it is unable to fulfil Steve Jobs' dream of reinventing the television, or CEO Tim Cook's ambition to transform the way we watch TV.
No new Apple TV?
Perhaps the biggest factor affecting Apple's plans in the television space is the fact that modern televisions come with all the software required to play the likes of Netfilx, Now TV, UK on-demand channels, and so on. Owners of televisions purchased in the past few years - in fact any owner of a 4K TV that Apple is targetting with the current Apple TV model - will have all the software required to run the sought after content on their TV.
And now that Samsung has announced that it will start supporting Apple iTunes Movies and TV Shows content on its new TVs, and that 2018 models will gain support in a subsequent firmware update, and Sony indicating that TVs released later in 2019 will also offer Apple content, it certainly seems like Apple is now looking at partnering with TV manufacturers rather than selling its own set-top-box. Read more about TVs that will offer iTunes Movies and TV shows here.
As Twitter COO Anthony Noto said (via a Geekwire story) during a CES panel in January 2018: "Over the next five years, we'll see a melding of distribution devices. Today, you walk into your house and your cell phone attaches to your WiFi instantly. Over the next five years when you walk into your house, your cell phone will automatically connect to the television. There will be no device. There will be no Apple TV, no Chromecast, no Amazon Fire, [no] Microsoft Xbox."

It's no secret that value and the traditional safety sectors have underperformed lately as the market reaches new highs. Besides investor sentiment to growth, macro headwinds seem to have conspired against a few sectors.
|---Recommended Link---
|"I Wish I'd Done This 20 Years Ago"
That's what a veteran investor and successful business owner told us... about a strategy called The Dividend Trifecta. He's been using it for years, and for all the money he's made in his life, this is the most consistent income stream he's ever had. He's not alone: investors in The Dividend Trifecta are telling us they're making an extra $23,000 per year. Click here to see what they're doing to make that kind of money.
That could be about to change.
Many expect earnings out in the first half of the year to be a peak in the cycle, meaning growth stocks could lose their appeal. Economic data also seems to point to a 180-degree turn in the fortune of some stocks hit by high producer prices.
Strong Consumers But Weak Consumer Staples
Companies in the consumer staples space have been the second-worst performers over the last year with a 2.1% decline, beaten only by the 2.3% decline in the utilities sector.
A litany of headwinds has built against the sector from higher rates, making yields less attractive to increased commodity prices and stagnant wage growth for consumers.
With wage growth going nowhere since the end of the recession, companies have had a difficult time passing higher prices on to consumers. At its narrowest in August 2017, the spread between wage growth, increasing at just 2.6% a year, and producer prices for food manufacturers increasing at 2.1% annually left the sector facing weakened prospects for profitability.
Expectations for third-quarter earnings have crumbled with profits just 6% higher compared to last year's quarter. That's against estimates for 9.8% growth at the end of June. Revenue growth for the quarter is expected at just 2.9% on a year-over-year basis which would mean sales haven't budged when accounting for inflation.
Consumer Staples Could Be The Turnaround Story Of The Year
Despite the bleak macro environment, management has been able to use cost-cutting to produce greater profitability. The sector reported second-quarter earnings that largely topped expectations with 88% of S&P 500 companies beating earnings estimates even as only 58% beat estimates for revenue.
As a sector, the group reported an average upside surprise of 5.3% on earnings, according to FactSet Research. Net profit margins have doubled from a sector-wide 3.5% to 7% from the second quarter 2017.
There's also evidence that the price environment might be shifting to the sector's favor. The producer price index for food manufacturers has plunged from a 1.3% year-over-year increase in April to a decline of 0.7% in July. Wage growth remains around 2.7% annually and this widening spread could help companies in the sector surprise to the upside when third-quarter earnings are reported.
The weakness in share prices has left the sector more attractive on a yield basis. The sector began the year paying an average 2.5% dividend yield which has now grown to a 2.7% yield, matching the increase in yield on long-term bond rates.
Greater profitability could enable management to boost cash payouts while rates on the long-end of the yield curve are seen constrained by low global rates and fears around economic growth. That could bring investor sentiment back to the group and push prices higher into 2019.
The last year's misfortunes and improving environment have started to attract activist attention with Jana Partners taking a 10% stake in Pinnacle Foods (NYSE: PF) and Trian Partners' push for reorganization of Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). Consolidation has been a persistent rumor in the space this year with a speculated merger of Kraft-Heinz and Campbell Soup and upside call-buying in the sector seems to point to hopes of increased deal flow in the second half of the year.
3 Best-of-Breed Consumer Stocks In Value Territory
Even if the third quarter doesn't mark a turning point for the sector, companies should find some support from here. The very definition of these companies is products that consumers need on an almost daily basis. That provides top-line support and investors would do well to take advantage of opportunities to pick up best-of-breed companies when discounts appear.
The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) dominates the U.S. market for chocolate with nearly half (45%) of sales. A new CEO took the helm early last year and initiated a strategic program to sell off non-performing lines, especially internationally, and focus on profitability. That plan is now starting to show results with the operating margin in the international division jumping 4.2% in the second quarter, its most profitable on record.

|20 Minutes To $40,653
Have you heard about "Social Security Insurance"? My clients are averaging $40,653 a year with this program. You can just copy them and make the same money they do. Why not? All it takes is 20 minutes.
Hershey's brand recognition and low relative price for products gives it more pricing power than other consumer companies. Combine the ability to raise prices along with inflation and up to $175 million in cost savings management believes it can attain from the strategic program, means both top-line and earnings growth could outperform.
Shares, down 5.3% in the last year, trade for 20 times trailing earnings and pay a 2.9% dividend yield. Earnings are expected higher by 12% to $5.50 per share over the next four quarters.
The Hain Celestial Group (Nasdaq: HAIN) is a leading manufacturer of natural foods but management inefficiencies and an acquisition strategy left the company weak at a time of slower U.S. sales growth. The recent announcement that the CEO would step down could create opportunity as activist investor Engaged Capital looks at options on its 10% stake.
The trend to healthier foods makes the company a valuable brand and it's started increasing distribution to traditional grocery stores versus a prior model of specialty-store focus. The organic and natural food segment is growing faster than overall grocery and consumers are not as price conscious, giving the company more pricing power.
Shares are down 30% over the past year but could attract a takeover buyer or interest from other activist investors.
Pilgrim's Pride (Nasdaq: PPC) is the second-largest poultry foods producer in the U.S. with market share in the mid-teens versus industry leader Tyson. The company has also built a strong position in Mexico with 35% of the prepared foods market with the Moy Park acquisition.
Rising global demand for higher-protein foods and solid international expansion should support growth in the highly competitive and volatile industry. Weak demand for chicken in the U.S. and tariff fears have hit the shares, down 34% over the last year, but the company has a strong balance sheet to withstand short-term weakness.
The company has diversified across poultry sizes as well as adding organic and antibiotic-free products to spread its risk. Brazilian beef producer JBS owns 79% of the company and could eventually acquire the remaining shares.
Risks To Consider: Weak wage growth against faster growth in producer prices mean top-line revenue could be constrained for the next couple of quarters even as companies have found a way to eke out greater profitability.
Action To Take: Take advantage of an ebb in investor sentiment to pick up best-of-breed consumer staple companies at a discount.
Editor's Note: Our annual research has produced winners of 310%, 452%, and even 569% in years past. Last year's picks are beating the S&P 500 3-to-1. And this year's report could be the most profitable yet... If you're tired of paltry gains, then this could be the most important thing you read all year. Click here to see it.
