Andy in Swimsuit, eye burning shocker!!!!!
As far as I'm concern the labcoat is the most mulit-purpose outfit in the fleet, in my humble opinion it goes with anything and can be worn during virtually any situation.
Births and Deaths : Labcoat, makes you look like a doctor.
Parties: A strippergram
Dinners: a chef or butcher.
Office: Warehouse worker.
Home: Decorator.
Computers: A Geek.
But I hear you cry, what about on a hot day with the sun beating down on some sandy beach. Well last week that theory was tested out. Myself, Andy Ketterley, Damian Firecaster, Malic Skytower and Debbydo all popped up to Risa for some sun, sand and strange alcoholic drinks which all seem to have umbrella's in then.
Debbydo didn't strip off so we all said "ahhh" and put our cameras away.
Malic and Damian both donned shorts which looked like a five year old coloured them in.
And Andy....Erm.....well I'm not sure what to call what Andy had on, its an outfit even robobby wouldn't wear and that's saying something. You don't know whether you should laugh or scream, do both or just go into counselling. I think we should petition to extend the dress code to nothing less than Bikini's,short's and Andy's swimsuit.

We develop rock quarry concessions in Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia supporting the world's fourth largest population and 16th ranked GDP worldwide.
Ansuz Balder Magni aqquires, manages and operates rock quarries that produce crushed aggregate; a product that serves as a key cornerstone of all infrastructure projects and hauling roads for mining. There are seven major markets that purchase aggregate and its' by products, including:
- Government infrastructure contractors
- Mines
- Medium to Large companies with gravel hauling roads
- Developers
- Concrete Batching Plants
- Asphalt Mixing Plants
- International buyers
With an estimated *187 billion USD worth of infrastructure projects planned from 2015-2019 and ever-expanding population, the opportunity to supply aggregate to unsaturated islands at a higher rate is very large. Indonesia's 17,000 islands offers long term aggregate demand throughout Indonesia. Indonesia faces inherent logistics issues that can only be remedied through infrastructure connectivity and offers lucrative aggregate pricing in areas with challenging access or a lack of appropriate rock.
"In 2015, the government announced new funding commitments and displayed an openness to leverage private sector finance. Much of the government's windfall from reducing fuel and power subsidies in 2015 was earmarked to address the country's considerable infrastructure deficit. The central government infrastructure spending plan for 2015-2019 totalled IDR 2,216trn (approximately US$187bn)."

I have, however, definitely noticed the lag that many users have seen, but I have no doubts that when I root it (later tonight, maybe tomorrow) those will go away. Add one more person to the list of people waiting for 2.2.


text: In 5 days I will depart for Norway. Over the last few weeks I have been rushing around trying to get everything ready for my departure. There have been a few hiccups along the way, like losing my wallet with my ID and credit cards, but other than that I feel prepared. I am nervous that I will get to Norway and realize that I have forgotten a necessary item or forgotten to take care of some school requirement, but I have a good feeling that everything will be just fine. That being said, I am going to go start packing my bags, taking care of my last few errands, and getting ready for my going away party tonight.

Startups are heavily influencing the way we market, disrupting the conventional and coming up with more efficient, productive and sustainable ways to engage with the customer. So why not try something new with a startup operating in the marketing space this year?
But where to start and how? How can you find the right firm? How to establish a productive relationship? Innovation is well and fine, but how to make the most of a new relationship in unchartered waters?
Meet Beckon, a startup launched in 2014 that, according to founder and CEO Jennifer Zeszut, are a firm built by marketers for marketers. 32% of Beckon's team are from marketing; 46% from engineering/tech; and 14% from data science/analytics. It markets itself as "the source of truth for marketing."
The startup offers multi-channel data management and performance analytics. At present, they boast a healthy client roster of A-listers including Bayer, Coca-Cola, Gap, IBM, NBC-Universal and more of the like. Beckon's success and fast growth can be attributed to its team dynamics. Apart from that, the company sets a very high bar for itself. After all, if you plan to sell to the world's best brands, you need to be one yourself.
This is their advice for marketers looking to work with startups.
With close to 10,000 companies backed by venture and private investment in the U.S. alone, it's tough to monitor early-stage startup activity in your industry and come up with related strategies. Industry bodies regularly conduct events that aim at connecting leaders of established and emerging companies to get together and develop the future of the industry. These events are of immense help in enabling corporate to identify trends and potential partners in the startup space.
Increasingly all divisions in a company are going in for function-specific software. No one is really dependent on the IT division except for occasional troubleshooting. The industry is seen to be moving further in this direction where function-specific tools, especially marketing-oriented would absolutely be the way going forward.
The top management needs to be fully on-board. The CMO, the CTO, and the CIO should appreciate the partner firm and their collaboration – as much as the marketing team does. In short, be as beloved by the IT division as much as by the marketing division. For this to happen, any new vendors would have to be vetted for thorough security, controls, etc. Having the CTO and the CIO involved, ensures that the process is foolproof and they should satisfy themselves that the partnership is something worth-while for the enterprise.
The most crucial piece of advice is regarding data portability and access. The CMO should ensure that the vendor allows the company full access to data, that you actually retain the ownership of all the data and any related insight. This is of utmost importance in the event you decide to part ways in the future.
These basic guidelines should be of help for marketers looking to navigate this complex and nascent territory.

// "Now make a face like Iowa just scored three touchdowns to get ahead of Nebraska!!!" //
Living so far from home has taught me a lot. One of the biggest things I've realized is how much I appreciate my parents. This one's dedicated to my dad (sorry, mom).
I've always loved my dad (I mean, who doesn't love this cool cat), but I think working at his office this past summer I realized how truly wonderful he is. I've only ever known him as "dad," so it was eye opening to see him in an environment where that's not his title. I was amazed how much I learned from him and how much I admired his behaviors. He's a leader that people respect because he's genuine, honest, and straightforward but strong and firm at the same time.
In general, he's just kind of the goat. He's the funniest person I've ever known (even though at times I replace the word funny with weird…), and he doesn't even have to try. He's the definition of a family man and always prioritizes my mom, my brother, and me. If he was in town, I don't think he missed a single one of my high school tennis matches or cheer events. He's humble, faithful, and treats everyone single person with the same level of respect, no matter their age, job, or walk of life. Basically, he is everything I want to be and everything I want my future husband to be (which is a big set of shoes to fill… no pressure, boys).
Shoutout to Grant for being just plain awesome; I love you. xx

One of things you can always guarantee about overseas travel is that you will meet new people. We were lucky enough early on in the trip to meet Peter and Alison Killick and their children who come from Melbourne. I first met them in the Mekong Delta where we travelled in a group tour for three days. What came as a pleasant surprise was that we literally bumped into them again in Nha Trang, Hoi An and Hanoi. I've put some photos of them on this page just to celebrate the joy of meeting really nice people when you are travelling OS.

Ct online dating
The person they lied to could see them in person for the first time and know they are lying immediately, and that might be the end right there.Or, let's say the liar and his or her date hit it off and start seeing each other regularly.We broke up recently (after over a year of dating), and I noticed he's online again saying he's 13 years younger. He's not a bad guy, but it's so unfair and misleading.First of all, I have a hard time believing that 58 can pass for 45, but that's beside the point.Read this email I got from a divorced woman: I went out with a guy who claimed to be 45 when he was really 58.
Although no one likes getting old, aging is a beautiful thing because with every birthday we gain experience and wisdom and empathy. I do want to say that I know a lot of happy couples with big age differences, including my parents, who are 12 years apart and who have been together for 57 years. Online dating has its benefits and it is still the number one way men and women meet, connect and find love. A married person can have a profile status that states he or she is single.
It's a big world and the Marriage Minded People community wants to help you connect with singles in your area.
Whether you are seeking just a date, a pen pal, a casual or a serious relationship, you can meet singles in Connecticut today!
Federal Laws regulating online dating safety: No laws exist that regulate personals sites or layout a groundwork for safety using online dating sites on a federal level.
States individually have just over the past few years though have begun to enact their own laws which vary widely.
This page is a resource that shares links to states that have laws about online dating safety.

Speaking of archiving the past, here we go with the Spring 2012 installment of Dear Sheila! Want some life advice from C.L.A.P.'s resident columnist? Send her your questions at email@example.com. She's ready to get real.
I've been cogitating on what has appeared to be a thorn in the side of my new relationship—namely his ex-girlfriend. He (my BF) talks about her a lot, i think he is still processing and that's fine but i can see that a lot of the time he is just on automatic pilot, like yeah if someone was dictating your life for four years, they might still be part of your routine. and then and i don't know this for a fact, but i am pretty sure he hasn't deleted pictures off of his memory card on his camera since before the break up and for the sake of your column lets just say the whole 4 years are not archived yet. the question could be, there is an understandable reason for all of this, but at what time do you archive the past and is it ever okay to ask? and what then is my role: if he talks about her, am i allowed to weigh in with my opinion (usually something like, dude sounds like this was a doomed relationship, dude sounds like you dodged a bullet etc). or do i steer away from the conversation
----Romanstiche Bilder
Dear R.B.:
steer away from the conversation!! avoid getting mired in discussing the ins and outs of his relationship with her AT ALL COSTS bc those are conversations he needs to have with his friends or his therapists, and absolutely not you.
as far as the pictures go. well, is it negatively impacting your life? is he looking at them all the time? does he just have other stuff he needs to deal with besides that and its not at the topic of his priority list? maybe you could just do it for him. like, get a CD rom, put all the pictures on the CDrom, delete them, and give him the CD. actually, scratch that. that's a weird thing to do. let it go. its not a big deal. i have relics from my past relationships everywhere
and check in with him, just in terms of "hey, i don't want to accidentally see pictures of you and your ex now. could you like make it so i don't have to worry about that? and that's all you need to say. and don't say why you don't want to see them, because duh, and you don't want to get into a bigger conversation about life with his ex because YOU'RE NOT HIS THERAPIST OR BEST FRIEND
your his girlfriend and you need romance and mystery and he shouldn't get into the habit of dumping or processing on/with you because that will mess up the burgeoning dynamics of your own relationship.
your relationship needs to develop/flourish fruitfully and with independence from mindfully referencing only his recent past relationship. you need your own patterns
i mean, sometimes you want to get off the main drag of life, and want to go to where the streets have no name. as much as we like to think we live in somewhere as open and liberating as, well, Nicollet ave, 2 am is still closing time and then you might have to drag your ass back to dight ave. and then you wake up on Sunday morning and realize you passed out in the front lawn of lets-be-real-with-our-feelings-strasse. Anyways, it sounds like you're gonna be fine.

Sign up for the C.L.A.P. Monthly newsletter!
In an attempt to streamline communications, C.L.A.P. is putting out a monthly e-newsletter! WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
In addition to being quite possibly the sexiest (not sexist, Momar), newsletter out there, C.L.A.P's monthly message will be an excellent reminder for me to pay my rent on time (and if you also have your payments due on the first, perhaps for you as well. BONUS).
The newsletter will contain important info about submissions, advertising, deadlines, events and other news bits. We might throw in some other bells and whistles as well. In general though, it is a way for us to keep our contributors and readers in the loop with what we have going on.
I PROMISE this will only be a once-a-month deal. Nothing is more annoying than signing up for something that peaks your interest only to have your inbox flooded with messages about every piece of information an organization comes across.
Sounds good? Signing up is easy—you can simply fill out the box on the right hand side of this screen, under our list of social media platforms, or below! Technology at its best! Note: When you are prompted to put your name in, it will call the list "C.L.A.P. Contributors." That is an error we are working to fix. Even though we of course would love to have you all contribute, signing up will not force you to do so! This is for the newsletter, so don't freak out.

It's time to get WEIRD!
|Brilliant thoughts, ideas, musings from the evening
|It's hard to believe we are chugging through May so fast, but since it has been so much fun, who am I to complain? And part of the fun? Getting cracking on our upcoming "Weird Things" summer issue! Our deadline is JUNE 1st and we have already received our first awesome piece, by past contributor Erin Duffey, who wrote about (weird) people you find on public transit. It rules and we can't wait to see what other gems start rolling in! A big THANK YOU to Erin for getting her piece in first—you will be getting some sort of prize. We don't have the prize yet, though, so if anyone has any suggestions for weird prizes, let us know.
Thanks to Low and Kat, two of the lovely ladies from the Grease Rag, C.L.A.P. hosted its first ever brainstorming session for the upcoming issue earlier this month. New and old faces alike showed up to throw around ideas and to hang. As promised, we are sharing some of these ideas for those who were unable to attend, and may be looking for some inspiration/starting points for their own submissions.
So...without further adieu:
Going to the suburbs
Depression era carnivals
Stalkers (next to this, I wrote "just trying to network?")
Weird sex positions
"Swingers, that's weird"
Touching someone else's anal beads
Kombucha (I totally lucked out and went home with part of Kat's scoby, to start the resurgence of my kombucha production. Thanks Kat!)
Nude bike ride
Herbalism (tinctures)
Booty Bounce
Misinformation in sex talks
Weird jobs we'd like to do/have done: sorting human remains, cruise line entertainer, parasite doctor
Support networks
DREAMS (wrote this in all caps, four beers in)
Hearing and tasting color
Letters and numbers having personalities
We also did an exercise where we went around and said weird things we have eaten, touched, done (or have wanted to eat, touch or do) for inspiration. Finally, although our women's health columnist was not able to attend this brainstorming event, she is looking for women to share stories of things they didn't want to tell their doctors (if you have one you'd like to share, email her at: email@example.com)
|Spread the love: the kombucha grows
Feeling inspired?! Still in need of some guidance?! Just let us know—we want all of you to be part of our next issue! Our deadline is JUNE 1st, so just email us at email@example.com with any questions, ideas or submissions. Remember, contributors get a free issue...if you have contributed to the Winter 2011 or Spring 2012 issues and have not yet received your complimentary copy, please contact us to remedy that situation. As a reminder, we are happy to mail issues to out of town contributors, but if you live in the Twin Cities area, we ask that you arrange a pick up of your free copy at Yeti Records—but please contact us before hand to give them a heads up!
We are also in the works of planning a midnight writing session as an incentive to get pieces done. While the timing of this can be flexible (take "midnight" as a general framework), we are in search of a space to do this at. If you would like to offer your home or other space for this event, or if you know of a space we should check out for it, please contact us as well!
Hope you are all enjoying this simply magnificent weather!
UPDATE: Had a flash of inspiration while doing the dishes! No time for a full submission? NO PROBLEM! Just answer this question (comments here are fine!): What weird thing(s) are you "into"?...we will share them in the summer issue!

Lisa Luck Talks Yeti on Wheels Fundraiser
As you may have heard, our favorite local record store (and major C.L.A.P. supporter), Yeti Records, is raising funds to transform their brick and mortar storefront to a mobile record shop. There are a bunch of great incentives packages that you can claim for donating (including an extra special C.L.A.P. music-themed limited addition!), and plus you get the satisfaction of supporting an awesome independent business! You can find more out about the fundraiser here. You can also check out how even the mainstream news is into it here with this sweet clip from KSTP on the shop and the fundraiser.
And now for the super fun part! A Q&A with Yeti co-owner, and C.L.A.P. contributor, the amazing Lisa Luck!
1. What is the Yeti fundraiser and how did it come about?
Thanks for asking :) Our fundraiser project "Yeti Records on Wheels" was put together in an effort to raise enough funds to help our brick and mortar record store transition into a mobile store or "record truck".
We are an all used record shop specialising in vintage vinyl and have been in business at our store front location (35th and nicollet in South Minneapolis) for the about 2 years now. Although it's been a radical time, our overhead is nuts. We can barely make the payments and that is with us both having other jobs to try to supplement the costs. We love our shop. We love our customers. We love the community that is so supportive to us. We simply can't afford the rent, the inflexibility of having a store front and we are simply not interested in being an online business. We don't want to shut down and we don't have to. We are just changing our approach and making it work for us.
2. What is happening with your business seems to be a reflection of the difficulties facing many small, independent businesses today—especially in the creative field! How do you see communities like ours supporting each other and evolving to ensure such culture still exists?
Gosh. What a question. The thing about businesses like ours... is that we aren't business people. Our goal was never to make a ton of cash and if it was we would have gone into a different business. We just wanted to do something we loved and hopefully break close to even at the end of the day. Without "the man" in charge, big loans, investors.. that sort of thing running a small business where you can actually support yourself can just seem impossible.
Oh gosh. Again. Hard hitting questions... I think the most important part of keeping independent business and culture alive is to simply support it. Eat at local restaurants. Shop at local shops. I'm not saying go nuts and never walk into a big box store again. Just remember that the unique shops you love can only sustain themselves if you actually shop at them. The independent magazines you love can can only survive if you buy them.. that sort of thing.
3. You've lived in quite a few places around the country—what do you think is unique and special about the Twin Cities in terms of creativity and community?
Oh Minneapolis. Minneapolis is really one of my favorite places ever. There are so many creative and inspirational people here. For one thing, the music scene is fantastic. Now that I'm all super pregnant I don't make it out to shows nearly as much.
That said, there are just so many great bands to see and a really welcoming music scene. One of the first places I have lived where I have felt that the music scene wasn't exclusively a boy's club. That in itself is special. As a woman, it's an amazing feeling to be surrounded with so many other creative women. I have never been around so many confident and talented females in my life.
4. What are your future plans for Yeti and yourself as an artist?
The Yeti Records storefront will remain open throughout the summer. We hope to get the mobile store going by the beginning of July. This of course is dependent on whether we can raise the essential funds to get this thing going. We are already midway to our goal, so I'm feeling hopeful!
As for myself, independent of Yeti. I find myself transitioning back into working as a freelance illustrator and have recently gotten back into screenprinting. You can take a peek at a screenprint of mine on our indiegogo funraising page as we are offering some of these an donation incentives.
Now that I'm becoming a mother, a few things have changed for me. The first of which is the desire to work more from home, which is where my new home screenprinting studio comes in. The second is to make art and illustration work geared towards children.
While looking for decorative ideas for my baby's room, most of the affordable (nursery friendly) art out there made want to "barf" a little bit. There were some gems out there but I see a need for better options. I'm sure a lot of other parents out there feel the same way.
5. What are some of your favorite female artists and musicians? Anyone you look to for inspiration?
My number one favorite female band in minneapolis is Cadette. They channel a part of me that hasn't been awake since my chelsea cut days. Love them. Also Mother of Fire's Naomi Joy is kind of girl crush of mine. Evident in this picture of us --->
|Lisa and Naomi
6. What advice do you have for would-be small business owners?
Do it! Plan ahead. Keep your chin up and don't be afraid to promote yourself.
7. Why do you think business like Yeti are important?
Shopping at small independent businesses goes hand in hand with my philosophy on listening to Vinyl instead of digital files. It's tangible. You can hold in in your hands. You can interact with it. Both are so much more rewarding then the other options. Independent business hold personal history and stories just as records do. It just feels more human.
8. You and Jake are about to be new parents—how do you see little Ira fitting into your creative lifestyle?
He will be in charge of all future finances.

VAGINA SPEAK: Our breasts, as mother nature intended
VAGINA SPEAK: Our breasts, as mother nature intended.
By Molly Harrington
From C.L.A.P. Spring 2012
Lock 'em up, girls. It's time to venture into the public. Pad them, cup them, smooosh them together until you have the perfect cleavage, for that round boobylicious look.
Underwire. Still? Please, post on the C.L.A.P. blog if you want to share your story, as I am speaking from a less endowed lady's standpoint and would love to hear others experiences; but why do we cage them in metal? Sure, many from A cup all the way to G cup may feel they need the support or aesthetic that underwire provides, but humor me and try a week without(of course with a supportive structure that allows you to feel comfortable, which, I dare say is quite difficult to find, but in the end, worth your research). It might give you better support than ever because you can stop contorting your breasts into that expected shape as envisioned long ago by the corset (let's not forget who invented that tortuous apparatus).
I gave up underwire three years ago, and upon cleaning out my underwear drawer this winter I found the ones I was still saving for a rainy day/fancy event when I feel like I need to be wearing a real bra to appear "professional". So I tried one on and almost broke out in hives from being so uncomfortably caged in and overly sensitive to the maker's idea of what a breast shape should look like, starkly contrasted to the actual contour of my breasts, which, I'm discovering are shaped more like awkward triangles than round melons.
Now, riddle me this, women's clothing retail...where in the goddesses' name is the well merchandised section of those lovely bras or bralettes without underwire? Oh, the hideous ones hidden in the back. Or the three ugly uniboob bras for sale at The Gap. Or in the training bra section (no joke - bought a couple at Target but they were way too small). I honestly bought a nursing bra once because it a) had no underwire but b) was the only one with a cute floral pattern, unlike all the white matronly ones. (I did end up throwing this out because whoa...there's a whole other world of discomfort with the weird snappy things holding in part of your breast and it gets all itchy and then you realize you're wearing a nursing bra but not actually nursing anyone...after that experience, when I breastfeed some day I'm just gonna let those titties dance in the breeze. BTW, Mothers, you are amazing.
Anyway, I would like to put out a little PSA for our desperate need for a creative lady who can start designing modern, cage free (now for eggs AND boobies!), and non-synthetic material style bras (perhaps find a new name for these as well? goddess tops?) for the naturelle, creative womyn/transgender folk who want to walk around freely AND stop supporting Victoria's Secret and other misongynist, evil bra empires. Until then, I'll keep wearing a cami or the one bralette that actually fits, washing it every full moon or so.
Hang loose, ladies. Here's why. Love, Scientific Research
I found a study that researched women and their chances of breast cancer, depending on hours of bra wear. How? Because the lymphatic system has major pathways and vessels in your breasts. The lymphatic system is essentially your daily waste filter, circulating throughout your body and excreting toxins that otherwise build up in the body and can lead to all sorts of disease. Therefore, if an area of lymph vessels is frequently constricted, it can harm your tissue health and lymph drainage: 97% of lymph waste collected in your breasts drains through your armpit lymph nodes. (phew! I just had to remove my yoga top with a built in shelf bra while writing this to release constriction)
Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (a.k.a. DON'T sleep in your bra. Ever.)
Women who wore bras more than 12 hours per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.
Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk.
Women who wore bras rarely or never had 1 out of 168 risk.
This above study was conducted by Singer and Grismaijer - see their book Dressed to Kill
*They also found that women who exercise frequently are at lower risk because the natural, bouncing movement in the breasts during exercise increases the lymphatic drainage.
**I personally believe practicing Yoga is one of the best ways to get your lymph moving and simultaneously a gentle form of exercise. Deep breathing and compression in postures boosts the circulation of lymph and promotes elimination of built up toxins. I've also heard trampolining is good. Both activities make for a great way to get involved in your COMMUNITY!
Now go find your friends and burn some bras.

Girls Got Rhythm Fest: Q&A with founder Dana Raidt
One of our favorite local lady writers/podcaster/lady music aficionado Dana Raidt of Metro Magazine and Girl Germs is one of the brains behind the fabulous Girls Got Rhythm Fest, taking place this weekend in St. Paul. It's going to rule, so you should check it out. For info can be found at the event page here or on the event's blog here.
HERE, however, Dana was gracious enough to answer some quick questions about the fest, her experience planning it and women in rock for C.L.A.P. Check it:
How did the Girls Got Rhythm Fest come about?
My friend Travis Ramin and I are/were both doing podcasts. I was doing Girl Germs and he does Jazzed Up and Bonkers with Dan Henry (of Soviettes/Awesome Snakes fame). We have a lot in common musically, so we were trying to think of ways we could collaborate. Travis had put on a festival called Rock Action at the Turf a few years ago, and brought up the idea of organizing one together. We started asking around and gauging interest, and it kind of just snowballed from there! Next thing we knew, we were talking to Ronnie Spector's people and she was totally into the idea. It all sort of came together after that.
What can fest attendees expect this weekend? What are some of the "highlights"?
One of my favorite parts of the fest is how cohesive yet diverse the lineup is. It all fits together, but everything is really unique at the same time. Generally speaking, Friday is a little more rock and Saturday is a little more pop. I can safely say that L'Assassins are going to rock this thing. They are perfect for this bill and the local press has really latched on to them recently—for good reason. They are super fun and talented and are a perfect up-and-coming counterpoint to the more established acts like Ronnie Spector and The 126.96.36.199's. The 18.104.22.168.'s haven't performed in the Twin Cities since 2003 and they are making the trip just to play the fest, which is mind-blowing. Of course Ronnie Spector will be amazing.
What are you most excited about for the fest?
I think seeing Ronnie Spector is going to change my life. Lately I've been on a kick of seeing older acts I love (like Stevie Nicks, Wanda Jackson and Tom Petty), and seeing Ronnie will be amazing. As Travis has said, "You'll probably cry." I was at The 188.8.131.52's last show in the Entry, so it will be great to see them in a completely different setting. They have really great energy. I'm really into White Mystery as well, and always love seeing Pierced Arrows.
Why do you think it is important to have lady-friendly fests like GGR in this day and age?
While I think there has been a lot of progress made regarding women in the music industry, there's still subtle, or even subconscious, sexism. Talented female acts don't always get the attention they deserve, partially because some people project all their latent sexist crap on to them—sometimes without even realizing they're doing it. It's tricky though, because while we want to celebrate, empower and showcase these women, we don't want to turn the whole thing into a novelty—nor do we want to book a band only because there are women involved. We booked all these musicians because we think they are the best of the best, and they all just happened to be ladies. It made for a cool theme, and hopefully it inspires and empowers some ladies out there. And maybe enlightens some dudes, too.
Anything else you would like to share about GGR and your experience planning it?
This festival is pretty much my baby at this point. (Seriously, we started planning in August so it's been nine months. It really feels like I'm preparing to give birth.) I have learned so much. If all goes well, I hope that the fest will become something people flock to every year and that helps them get exposed to some amazing, well-curated music.
Want to see what Dana is giving birth to? You can get info on tickets for the Girls Got Rhythm Fest here! Also don't forget that tonight at 7 p.m. is going to be our very special Brainstorming Session for our "Weird Things" summer issue! You can check out more details on that here. Hope to see you there!

This probably seems like the millionth time I've said this, but being totally finished with school is incredibly liberating. The day before yesterday, as was drilled into my head for months, was A-Level results day; and so I finally found out what I got in the exams I've spent the last two years working towards and which essentially tell me (or least most people, those who haven't taken a gap year) whether or not I've gotten into university. I did alright, could have been better, but also could have been much worse. Anyway, as is the message pouring in from all sides, people are not defined by their results – they are defined by themselves, I think, so on I must go.
So, things have changed. Friends are going on to university, or going back to school, and I am going off on my own adventures. I suppose life is an adventure, whatever you do with it, but parting with "see you at christmas" to someone you've known for and seen pretty much every day for the last 7 years of your life is strange. Yes, I know we're all still in the same city, the same physical locations we've always been in, but the possibility of not seeing someone who's been a part of your life for a long time on a regular basis anymore is surprisingly isolating.
I don't really know what I'm saying anymore, and I'm not even sure I knew what I was saying to begin with. The point constantly being made, I guess, about everything here, is that this is the start of the rest of your life. And as much as I'm looking forward to it, I've realised lately that there are definitely things I'll miss. Well, mostly people.

It seems pure utopia nowadays, when we have technology at the highest level, but one of the greatest fears of those who are in oxygen therapy is running out of oxygen.
The patient must take oxygen to treat COPD, in fact, is closely related to delivery service of oxygen cylinders at home: when the cylinder is going to end the patient calls the company in charge of the service and within 1-2 days l 'oxygen is delivered. The companies that perform the service of home oxygen therapy are quite accurate in their deliveries, but patients suffering from this situation as a huge constraint that affects their lives: in the end it depends directly by the service in charge of the oxygen and the patient feels no longer have a life of their own. And also the technology made available by these companies is definitely not the best on the market: both portable cylinder and stroller have limited autonomy and this leads the patient to feel even more housebound.
Here are the circumstances that produce anxiety in patients on home oxygen therapy:
Delivery of oxygen cylinder in the patient's home within the specified time: to live in fear that the courier might delay, have unexpected or even postpone the delivery the next day. The danger is also not to be temporarily at home to the passage of the courier, and the patient is relegated voluntarily to avoid losing home delivery;
Delivery of oxygen cylinder at a different address from the usual one: when the patient decides to move from home for a few days must be agreed place and time of delivery to the new residence. This mode is a huge constraint on the freedom of the patient who feels he is not able to move freely, but having to adapt to the timing of the company in charge of the service;
Lack of autonomy of the stroller: the portable tank that is given in each contains a limited amount of oxygen. Even if the real autonomy is, for example, 3 hours the patient will remain around not more than 2 hours, preferring to fall rather than remain without oxygen.
Unfortunately this psychological situation is never taken seriously by doctors, because their observation is limited to the mere treatment of respiratory diseases, without considering the side effects that therapy with liquid oxygen can cause patient anxiety, compulsion and often even depression.
In addition, the National Health System is not currently able to provide tools that allow a substantial improvement in the quality of life of patients in homecare liquid oxygen due to the saving policy that leads to deplete the resources that the system itself has.
Abroad, in countries such as USA, Germany or Netherlands the use of portable oxygen concentrator has drastically revolutionized the field of oxygen therapy: patients are no longer tied to any company and do not have to depend on anyone. The concentrator, in fact, produces oxygen at the time, without needing to be recharged with oxygen itself. Therefore, the patient is free to move where he wants, when he wants, bringing with it a weight that is much lower than that of the portable oxygen tank. And finally, the range is virtually unlimited because oxygen concentrators can be recharged wherever you are (at home, at a restaurant, in a car, plane, etc).
If you find yourself to be in one of the situations described above, if you feel not being properly followed by your specialist or if you simply want more information about it, please contact us and we will be happy to give you all the information possible.

A LAWYER representing two Post Newspaper journalists in a matter they are jointly charged with 4TH Revolution president Eric Chanda for defamation of the President, has asked the Lusaka Magistrates Court to acquit his clients if the State does not have sufficient evidence against them.
This is in connection with a story published by The Post on May 9, 2015, authored by Mukosha Funga, where Chanda allegedly said: "President Edgar Lungu should be the last person to warn his aides against clubbing because the first assignment he undertook after taking over office was to go to Mfuwe to socialize and play pool".
Lawyer Nchima Nchito, SC, was making a submission before Chief Resident Magistrate Kenneth Mulife after the State adjourned the matter because the instructions to prosecute the trio were not yet ready from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
State prosecutor Samuel Zulu had informed the court that instructions to prosecute the trio were not ready because a Mr Zimba who was preparing the fiat had travelled to Eastern Province for other court issues.
Mr Nchito said as much as he sympathised with the State's plight, in the previous sitting the court expressed concern on how the State were dealing with the matter. He said nobody had compelled the State to arrest the accused it was expected that at the time they effected the arrest they were ready to procute the matter.
He told the court that it was clear that the State was not ready and they should offer that they did not have evidence and acquit his clients, Mukosha and Joan Chirwa.
Mr Nchito said the State should not use the due process of the law to persecute individuals and waste the court's time.
And Chanda accused the State of treating him like a refugee in his own country.
Chanda said the case occurred in May last year and that at the time of his arrest he was informed that the matter had been investigated for over eight months and he did not see reason why the State would fail to put facts on the table.
He asked the court for guidance and protection as he was being persecuted without any tangible reason, adding that he should be set free if there was no evidence against him.

Atlanta Local SEO | How is Organic and Local SEO Different?
- October 13, 2017
- Advanced SEO Techniques, Local SEO, SEO, Website Optimization
Both local SEO and organic SEO start with a search. However, there is a key difference. Atlanta local SEO has a geographical component while a traditional search does not. Read on to learn why this is affecting your business' ranking online.
What is Local SEO?
With local SEO, it matters where you are when you are searching for something online. If you enter "landscape designer around me", you will receive local results. Even if you don't add "around me", Google will automatically think you only care about the companies that are near you. If you want a landscape designer in a different area, it is easiest to just add that city to your search.
What is Organic SEO?
With organic SEO, it doesn't matter where you are when you are searching for something online. If you type in "gardening tips", you will receive results from all around the web. Some organic SEO best practices involve including keywords and creating inbound and outbound links.
Organic SEO and Local SEO Work Together
Furthermore, organic SEO and local SEO affect each other. Local listing citations are your friend because they provide links back to your website. These local citations also help your local SEO because they tell search engines where to find you. And, the best practices for organic SEO are still relevant for local SEO.
Why is This Important?
If you own a brick-and-mortar store or a company that only serves specific areas, it's crucial to focus your efforts on local SEO. There's very little ROI if the only people who are finding you online don't live in the area and will never visit your store or need your services. Instead, use Atlanta local SEO to lure customers that live near your business.
Getting Started with Atlanta Local SEO
To use local SEO effectively, it's important to start with verifying your business location online. If the search engines don't know where you are, how are they going to direct people to your location? Start by claiming your Google My Business account and verifying your address, phone number, website, and hours. Make sure all of this information matches what is on your website. Add at least 3 high-quality images for an extra SEO boost.
Do it Correctly!
Even though your SEO efforts are for search engines, in the end, it is what helps customers find your business online. When your organic and local SEO efforts are both done correctly, it can have a huge positive effect on your overall SEO. Search engines like when you update your content, so make sure to stay on top of what you are posting online. Also, make sure you are providing relevant, unique content.
Google and other search engines have put more importance on what you are doing to improve your local SEO. Don't wait! Get your business found in local search results with the assistance of your experienced digital marketing agency, Digital Resource. Request an instant SEO scan today.

Thing is, letter cannot be laser contoured only, it has to be filled, hence I need it engraved I want to laser engrave a letter and cut a square around it, like a scrabble piece. Thing is, letter cannot be laser contoured only, it has to be filled, hence I need it engraved Similarly, once you've typed in the letter in Corel, you can use ctrl+Q to convert to curves, then you can treat it like a normal object (so that you can fill it and/or outline it according to what your laser's driver will interpret as cut vs etch). to learn this, thing is, I am not going to do just one, but maybe 2 or 3 thousand pieces with the complete alphabet and as most (not all) of the pieces will have only the letter I want to raster engrave which will be faster than vector engraving Main issue here is how do I prepare and export the file to center the engraving letter with the cut so that it is ready for lasercut ? Ideally it would be to split the cut and engraving into 2 layers with different color so that it can be specified in lasercut what to engrave and what to cut, but how do I export this file so that it opens accordingly in lasercut ? After reading the links from Jeff's advice I have managed to export bmp file from Illustrator to lasercut thing is the Illustrator file is for vector engraving not raster engraving, so not exactly what I want : Lasercut supposedly supports bmp files for raster engraving but apart from the bmp file I imported from Illustrator every bmp file I open is completely stretched and out of dimension any idea why this happens ? I don't have that window in my program, not that I know of, in fact although there are some similarities my program looks quite different from the one in your screen, mine is from gweike might that be it ? Just in case anyone faces the same problem solution is to vectorize the image or in my case the letter save as DXF import to Lasercut and select engrave and machine will fill the letter not just engrave the outline, duh ! I've had the machine for a year now but have only used it to cut pieces, not much engraving apart from a couple of photos but glad I found out how to do it.

Former Deloitte CEO takes IFRS Foundation role
Deloitte US' senior partner James Quigley joins Foundation to work on adoption of a global accounting standard
Deloitte US' senior partner James Quigley joins Foundation to work on adoption of a global accounting standard
EX- DELOITTE CEO James Quigley has been appointed trustee of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation.
The foundation is an oversight body for the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and works to develop and push the debate for a single set of global accounting standards.
Quigley, (pictured) who is currently senior partner at Deloitte United States, said: "I am honoured to be invited to serve as an IFRS Foundation Trustee. The support for International Financial Reporting Standards depends in part on the rigorous due process applied in their development, and the Trustees play a significant role in ensuring that the IASB's due process is applied diligently.
"I look forward to working with Michel Prada and my fellow Trustees in what I expect will be a challenging period for the organization. I share the hope of many that the United States and Japan advance the incorporation of IFRS into their respective financial reporting requirements."
At the end of last year US standard setters (FASB) called for a "modified incorporation" of global accounting standards, after national regulator SEC said it needed more time to decide on convergence.
Quigley, who has worked with Deloitte for 37 years, is due to end his term at the foundation on 31 December 2014. However, the term is renewable once.

What To Do In A Noisy World of Influences
We live in a world colliding with constant noise.
Call it social media or influence or TV or whatever you want.
It's all noise.
Our bigger world is dominated by outer voices that share so much with our personal world. Most of it now comes through the smallest devices we carry in our pockets.
And then, so many today feel they need to speak and share and say something. Anything. All the time. To make a sound for the sake of getting their breath into mix because of the influential noises they listen to.
Everyone must have an opinion. Everyone must be vocal. Everyone must have a say.
Everything must be loud. Everything must make noise. And that can be fine...to a point.
Yet, in a world where so much noise is gathered and trumpeted outward, it can be hard to hear the Creator who made noise in the first place.
It's in this same world that more and more consider themselves to be without faith or belief in God.
Perhaps we should rid our busy lives and wandering souls of the noise and just be silent. Not just our voices but our souls.
Maybe we could stop blocking out so much with the sounds we are adding and finally hear the noise that we were meant to listen to.
The one that guides the lost. The one that leads the doubtful. That stills the struggles.
The Voice of our Creator.
Let's combat the noise with silence so we may listen.

While sports betting generally isn't pari-mutuel (like betting at the racetrack), it boils down to the same concept: if everyone is betting the same team, the payout on that team is going to go down. If the Giants open +450 and every Joe Q Public starts betting them, pretty soon they will only be paying +400, and then +350 as long as the money keeps coming in. This dynamic nature of betting lines can result in significant opportunities for bettors who are paying attention to line movement and are able to buy high and sell low on their bets.
Most handicappers will agree that betting lines for the major sports, particularly the closing lines, are pretty close to approximating the true odds. The more correct the lines are, the harder it is to beat them. This means that in many situations good "betting skills" (getting the best line) often trumps good handicapping ("picking winners"). Getting the best available lines on your bets is often the sole difference between a long term loser and someone who grinds out a profit week-in and week-out.
Finding the best line is usually not a problem given the number of free online odds sites. But getting the best line not only involves locating the best odds available, but also requires being able to get a bet down at that price. A few years ago, having some cash in your Neteller account was all you needed to make a quick transfer into any sportsbook. Today, with unending money transfer hassles, having instant access to the best lines requires a bit of planning. That means having accounts funded at a selection of sportsbooks that will encompass the most line variation. A few "sharp books", a few "square" books, and an exchange is a good mix You should also take advantage of any promotional specials offered at your sportsbooks, with reduced juice and free half points the most valuable in that category.
In timing bets, you should generally look to act quickly on information, but slowly on perception. Consider this the sports betting equivalent of the stock market mantra, "buy the rumor, sell the news". If your reason for betting is that some breaking news has changed the underlying odds on the game, then get down as quickly as possible. You want to lock in your bet before everyone else digests the news. It's especially important to lock in your bet early around key numbers, like 3 and 7 in the NFL.
By contrast, line movement driven by public bettors tends to be slow and gradual. If you are looking to buck public opinion, you want the public (mis)perceptions to influence the line as much as possible, so betting closer to kickoff is usually ideal. An hour or so before is best- significant volatility can be seen in the lines right before the games go off the board, and you can lose that good price if your side is hit by some late steam going the other way.
You can anticipate public favorites by getting estimates of betting action from online "consensus" websites, or by keeping your eye on the online sportsbetting forums and ESPN as a gauge of public opinion. Backing huge public darlings is rarely, if ever, a smart play - even if you end up winning, you almost certainly paid too much (or got paid too little). Does Monday Night Football feature a public darling, especially on the road? Buy the favorite early in the week to anticipate line movement, and hit a square shop on the underdog for a nice middle 30 minutes before the game, after the public has made their bailout bets for the week. Is Hawaii a big favorite in the midnight football game? Better bet them early before the tidal wave of bettors chasing a bad day comes crashing down.
Public moves are generally easy to anticipate, but will rarely have the momentum to set up profitable middles alone. The juiciest line movements require some help from sharp bettors, usually resulting in very rapid line movement (steam). Instead of the creeping line inflation lazily induced by the slow pace of recreational betting, steam comes fast and furious, changing the lines across all sportsbooks within minutes. Steam can be caused by a number of factors:
*The opening of betting lines *The time when sportsbooks raise their betting limits from the smaller opening or overnight limits to their full limits *Significant injury, weather, or other news *Release of plays by noted public handicappers
Some of these, such as breaking news and releases from sports services, can cause sudden action to come in from recreational bettors as well. These situations often result in extreme line movements, as sharps, squares, and steam-chasers are all piling onto one side simultaneously. Big line moves will often sway too far, as those looking to chase the steam will take worse and worse numbers as the lines move against them. If you fail to beat the initial move, these situations often provide good value in buying back the other side of the "steamed" line. Buy in quick when a popular handicapper releases his picks, or buy back on the public bounce. Fading these big moves is often a good strategy, especially on, for instance, a major handicapper's Super Lock of the Year Special on a fall Saturday afternoon. Hot touts often get a rep, and the corresponding publicity (along with reversion to the mean on their plays) makes fading those line moves even better.
Of course, watching a live lines feed and catching slow lines managers asleep at the wheel is always a profitable strategy, though much harder than it used to be. But even if you don't have access to the weakest sportsbooks, you can still take advantage of steam moves without chasing the same stale numbers everyone else is. Did the favorite just get bet up? While the lines are bouncing around, take a stab at first quarter or first half lines, which may not have adjusted as quickly. Game got steamed to the under? Take a look at team totals or scoring props instead.
The bottom line is that handicapping alone is not the sole way to turn a profit through your sports betting hobby. Paying close attention to line moves can uncover numerous good wagering opportunities every week, and improving your ability to predict line movement can add substantially to your bottom line.

The Canadian naming convention is very similar to that followed in the US and the UK. The children are given a first name and a surname name. Middle name is optional, but not uncommon. They are mostly used only in official documents. The first name, which is also written on the birth certificate, is the formal name by which the child will be identified. The last name is usually the father's last name, but in some cases, the mother's last name is also used.
Canada is indeed a beautiful country. From well-developed cities to gorgeous landscapes, there isn't a single thing to not love in Canada. We have made a list of popular, unique or unusual Canadian baby boy names. Names are not just for birth days, they are for entire life. Choose your child's name carefully.

An unusually fine and original Little John M. 1. This model was unusual in having a roller-bearing spindle but with bearings held in place by the large, rounded-top, bolt-down cover. On the Mk. 2 a significant increase in rigidity was achieved by moving to a conventional, one-piece headstock casting.
Changewheel cover removed. Note the cast-iron bracket supporting the variable-speed drive control lever. The cut out in the headstock cover allowed access to the pin that had to be pulled out before the backgear could be engaged.

Industry Dynamics: Foundations for Models with an Infinite Number of Firms
Industry Dynamics: Foundations for Models with an Infinite Number of Firms
Journal of Economic Theory. September
2011, Vol. 146, Issue 5, Pages 1965–1994
This paper explores the connection between three important threads of economic research offering different approaches to studying the dynamics of an industry with heterogeneous firms. Finite models of the form pioneered by Ericson and Pakes (1995) capture the dynamics of a finite number of heterogeneous firms as they compete in an industry, and are typically analyzed using the concept of Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE). Infinite models of the form pioneered by Hopenhayn (1992), on the other hand, consider an infinite number of infinitesimal firms, and are typically analyzed using the concept of stationary equilibrium (SE). A third approach uses oblivious equilibrium (OE), which maintains the simplifying benefits of an infinite model but within the more realistic setting of a finite model. The paper relates these three approaches. The main result of the paper provides conditions under which SE of infinite models approximate MPE of finite models arbitrarily well in asymptotically large markets. Our conditions require that the distribution of firm states in SE obeys a certain "light-tail" condition. In a second set of results, we show that the set of OE of a finite model approaches the set of SE of the infinite model in large markets under a similar light-tail condition.

Product DetailsA huge, horrifying ape creature is hidden in the laboratory of a sinister old house. The monster is the creation of Dr. Helen Jackson, a scientist who dabbles in the world of black magic and mysticism. Jackson experiments with a strange potion that transforms the beast-man into a maniacal, uncontrolled killer. Two newlyweds, who are guests in the doctor's home, are soon trapped by the hideous creature. With the help of the local police, they must find a way to escape from the chamber of horrors before they become victims of the monster's murderous claws. An old-fashioned independent horror film featuring an all-black cast, Son Of Ingagi is as fun a monster movie as it is a unique slice of black cinema history. Unlike the black horror exploitation films of the seventies like Blacula, Son Of Ingagi places no emphasis on race issues and offers few stereotypical characterizations. Actor Spencer Williams, Jr. (Andy of TV's "Amos 'n Andy") also wrote the story. The title is derived from an unrelated horror film made several years earlier. Co-star Laura Bowman, an accomplished singer and actress, was a member of New York's first black theater company.
