In conjunction with the release of the Dorm Daze 2 DVD, IGN recently spoke to the comely Latina via telephone about her new role, and assembled a collection of photos from the film.
IGN DVD: Just to get started, maybe you could tell us a little bit about your character.
Vida Guerra: I play a virgin named Violet, who is debating whether or not to go all the way with her boyfriend.
IGN: Do you like the 'temptress' or good girl aspect of your character more?
Guerra: I don't really have a preference. It was fun, though, because I start an abstinence class called 'Abstinence is Awesome'.
IGN: This movie is available in R and Unrated versions. Do we get to see more of you in the Unrated version?
Guerra: Well, I don't get naked, if that's what you mean.
IGN: What was the most challenging or fun scene to shoot?
Guerra: There's one scene where the guy who plays my boyfriend tries to set up a romantic evening, and it all goes wrong. He tries to put on a movie and it's a porn movie. And another guy ends up naked hanging outside their window. It was a lot of fun.
IGN: In Playboy you said you want to do three movies a year. What else is coming up for you?
Guerra: I am supposed to be doing a movie with Ginuwine- you know who Ginuwine is? I play his girlfriend. It's a dance movie. I play a character named Angel who wants to be a singer.
IGN: We heard you are finishing an album now. Who is producing it and what does it sound like?
Guerra: It doesn't really sound like anybody. People want to know if it sounds like Jennifer Lopez or somebody but it's really not at all.
IGN: Models sometimes get a bad rap in the entertainment industry. Have you run into problems finding people who take seriously your goals and ambitions?
Guerra: I've been lucky, I guess. I haven't had any problems.
IGN: What would be your dream role if you could play any character you wanted?
Guerra: I'd like to be a superhero, like in an action movie.
IGN: What would your power be?
Guerra: Invisibility. I'd like to be able to go anywhere and have people not be able to see me.
[Editor's Note: Judging by these pictures, we suspect that 'invisibility' won't be something Guerra will be able to take advantage of any time soon. Click on the gallery at the top of the story for even more pictures of the lovely Latina.]

For over the last 6 years, I have specialized in training NFL football players to be more powerful and efficient where it counts: on the field. Beyond the fact that they have super-fly cars, wear boss watches, and have more money in their wallet than I make in a year, they also possess one major characteristic that makes them vastly different than me: they selected better parents (sorry, Mom & Dad!) and won the sperm lottery in the process. Of course, this fact should be intuitively obvious.
As time has passed though, I have realized are also often lacking certain physical and mental traits that if focused on, could quickly leapfrog them to the next level in their development. Sure; everyone knows the heavy emphasis that I place on dissecting individual strengths and weaknesses in one's technical execution of movement on-field and the physical characteristics associated with it. In a basic sense, what works for one of these guys, will not be the most optimal approach for another (this fact becomes even more true as they move up the ladder of sport mastery). However, beyond that, there are given commonalities that simply can't be ignored especially when a player initially begins work with me. Thus, today's blog post will briefly shed light on some of these congruent factors and address some of the common training means I utilize to develop them.
1. Movement mastery
One would expect NFL athletes to be very proficient and programmed in their displayed movement patterns. At first glance, the general fan may actually believe that this is the case when watching their favorite player or team. However, when I start to break down common movement patterns being displayed on the field, weaknesses begin to jump out at me all over the place. When combined with quantitative measures utilizing devices such as force plates or accelerometers, a more thorough analysis can be completed which shows that even the league's best at a given position has much to improve on.
Unfortunately, I have yet to have a player tell me that anyone on his team's staff has even attempted to address on-field movement mechanics being displayed when they run, jump, or change direction. Sure they work repeatedly on skill techniques, tactical considerations, or maybe even 'agility' drills. However, in the NFL, coaches (for some dumb reason) stop addressing the all-important movement traits that players need to utilize to efficiently move from Point A to Point Z and every point in between. They may run through a drill but nothing is being coached. Because of this, these athletes simply turn into the world's best movement compensators. They may still see success but to a limited degree in comparison to their overall physical potential.
Here is the rub though: if we optimize movement efficiency, we can maximize athletic performance. We know that technique is never constant because when you are changing your physical traits, you are also changing the way that you display your strength/speed in the execution of often performed movement skills and the overall working effect of the force going to the ground. Thus, no matter what the level of mastery is, I MUST program time each and every day to fine-tune the level of movement mastery for my athlete. I know its cliché, but it's true; only perfect practice makes perfect and my athletes are required to focus on both global and local aspects of each movement each time they practice a skill. It's common for me to take an athlete back to ground zero in their technique and continually work from the bottom up to re-establish new standards for each movement. If it is a movement that they have ingrained and occurs with unconscious competence (i.e. involuntarily during chaotic situations), it is often more difficult to change but it can happen no matter what the age or development of the athlete. From there, we will complete rep after rep till the movement imprint becomes one that is more optimal for total efficiency.
2. Force absorption
As I tell my athletes, as an elite level NFL football player (or anyone for that matter) you can never be too fast. It would be like having too fast of car or too hot of girlfriend…it just doesn't happen!
Furthermore, in order to display the type of speed necessary to play on Sundays, it isn't just about linear speed (and in most cases it never is), it's about the ability to rapidly accelerate, stop, and change direction more efficiently than your opponents. In order to do this, you must possess very high levels of eccentric strength and ability. The body is required to absorb crazy amounts of force while its tissues are actively loading as in every maximal dynamic contraction sequence (i.e. the eccentric action of the Stretch-Shortening Cycle). With the way that the body functions, we could never expect to exert maximal force if our bodies do not possess the ability to absorb it. Unfortunately, I have found that this strength quality is rarely ever addressed in NFL weight rooms.
Luckily, it's a relatively easy fix and it often leads my athletes to think that I have a magic wand that I have used to help recharge their movement so they quickly perform with greater proficiency. Most athletes have never taken the time to focus on the contact mechanics displayed during ballistic movements such as the landing of a jump or the intense & rapid loading that occurs before a quick cutting action. To add to this, I will begin including some sub-maximal Altitude Drops in football-specific landing fashions and begin the process of teaching the body how to more rapidly absorb higher levels of force. Shortly after incorporating this type of work with this level of focus, one will quickly begin to feel more 'springy' when their foot hits the ground or performing any athletic task.
3. Deliberate and focused intention
When it comes to reaching one's goals, this next point may be the most important for not only my NFL players but also for you. Everything in one's life (I mean literally everything), has to be completed with the highest degree of intention towards improvement. There is no room for half-assing it here! You really have to focus! Many NFL players are used to approaching their training sessions with a lackadaisical mentality because either they are overly accustomed to being better than their peers or they have never been given an accurate and clear idea as to what they need for improvement. I am talking about more than just hard work. Instead, I am talking about deliberate work towards a specific goal. They MUST come into each training session as if every session truly was their last and from there I can promise them that they will never be disappointed by the results they receive.
Much of what I just talked about probably seems somewhat obvious to most. Unfortunately, one look at the direction most trainers of NFL players head with their physical preparation plans would make it seem as though it's rocket science. These ARE big picture items we are talking about here that are affecting so many players in the league and could have a great impact in numerous aspects of their game. In fact, I believe that the NFL could truly change if more people in our profession would attempt to prioritize each factor to a greater degree over some of the other novel approaches being taken.

My Facebook feed is full of posts denouncing the suggestion made by decluttering guru Marie Kondo to keep no more than 30 books (example). How dare she, they write, attack the most noble of middle class obsessions – book hoarding? In the age of bite-sized online news, screaming headlines and kids who never let go of their tablets, aren't books the last refuge? As an avid reader, I beg to differ. Continue reading

Things I would take with me when moving countries (III): kitchen equipment
As we completed half of our studies, my best friend at the time and I set off to opposite ends of the European continent for our much-awaited exchange semester. We had both been informed that our dormitory rooms will only have the most basic furniture, and we chose very different ways to deal with it. My friend at the time decided to travel with a huge suitcase complete with pans and cutlery. I went with clothes for all seasons and products that I was told were expensive in the destination. This was before Facebook, meaning, before exchange, second-hand and upcycling groups.
Fortunately for me, I found that the dormitory kitchen, shared with seven other rooms, was fully equipped. I also found that the previous inhabitant left a pillow and a blanket, so I didn't need to look for those. People who stayed in the more expensive dormitories, either because they applied too late or because they preferred not to share anything, had their own kitchenette – and had to procure utensils themselves. Ever since that time I've been contemplating this issue – kitchenware is bulky, heavy and, although not extremely expensive, adds to the ballooning initial costs when moving to a new country. How to go about it in an affordable and sustainable way?
Things I would take with me when moving countries (II): stationery
In the first post about an essential kit to take along when moving countries, I wrote about an essential wardrobe to go through most of the life situations in one's new home. I want to make it clear that all of the countries I've lived in had plenty of shops for various budgets, but whenever I can, I try to avoid a shopping spree in a new country, because it is neither financially nor environmentally sustainable. It can also feel totally overwhelming in a new place, before I get to know how to navigate it.
Barter trading in Kenyan markets
On a minivan from Maasai Mara, I thought my pockets were already stuffed with beadwork and souvenirs, so there was no way I would acquire more. When a trader lifted his arms, with bracelets and necklaces hanging from them, towards my window as we briefly stopped by an ATM somewhere close to Narok, I told him I was not interested and continued writing my diary. "Do you have a spare pen?" he asked. Indeed, I did. "Are you interested in trading it for something?" I asked to confirm, and thus started one of my favorite adventures in Kenya.
Stories of stuff: a week in the US
I often travel with cheap airlines, so optimizing my luggage is a constant concern. I certainly have no weakness for shoes or any other bulky stuff, but I frequently stay with friends or Couchsurfing hosts, for whom I always try to bring a gift. Also, I like bringing back goodies for my family and friends, things I cannot find back home, and various keepsakes. Blogging about stuff and shopping is relatively new to me, but I have already shared a review of my purchases for last year′s trip to Thailand and things I wear to enter places of worship. So I might as well share my recent discoveries before a week-long trip to the US East Coast.
Stories of stuff: Thailand
Some of my friends are posting and discussing this article about living light and decluttering. It's an interesting mental exercise to do. I have moved apartments so many times that I can certainly see the benefits of living light. Gradually getting rid of my books is on my agenda.
At the same time, there are certain limitations for traveling/ living light. Continue reading

Fogoros, MD Updated on November 25, 2019 OJO Images/Getty Images More in Holistic Health Herbal Medicine Supplements Aromatherapy & Essential Oils Massage Therapy In This Article Table of Contents Expand Health Benefits Natural Ways to Boost GABA Possible Side Effects Dosage and Preparation What to Look For View All Back To Top Gamma-aminobutyric acid—often referred to as GABA—is an amino acid and neurotransmitter, a type of chemical responsible for carrying information from one cell to another. Produced naturally in the body, GABA is also widely available in supplement form. Manufacturers claim that GABA supplements can help boost the brain's GABA levels and treat anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep problems. In fact, some supplement manufacturers call GABA a "natural form of Valium"—presumably meaning that it reduces stress and improves relaxation and sleep. Unlike many dietary supplements, GABA cannot be found in ordinary foods. Certain foods, however, including fruits, vegetables, teas, and red wine, can have a significant impact on GABA modulation. At present, it is not clearly understood whether certain foods increase or decrease the impact of GABA on the brain. Health Benefits Research shows that GABA might play a key role in protecting against depression and anxiety. For instance, a study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry in 2010 indicates that people with major depression may be more likely to have low levels of GABA. And a 2009 study that increasing GABA levels may be useful in the treatment of conditioned fear. These results are consistent with the fact that GABA is the primary calming (inhibitory) neurotransmitter in the brain However, there is a lack of research on the health effects of GABA supplements. What's more, scientists have yet to determine if orally ingested GABA can actually reach the brain and trigger any beneficial changes. Natural Ways to Boost GABA Levels Relaxants such as alcohol stimulate GABA receptors, leading to feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. The same effect occurs as a result of taking sleep-inducing drugs such as Ambien. But these approaches are only effective for the short-term and, of course, have undesirable side effects. Preliminary animal research suggests that certain herbal supplements (including valerian) may help elevate GABA levels in the brain (possibly by promoting the production of GABA or slowing its breakdown). Additionally, a 2010 study from the Journal of Biological Chemistry suggests that breathing in the scent of jasmine (a substance frequently used in aromatherapy) may help enhance the effects of GABA. Certain mind-body practices may also help boost your brain's levels of GABA. For example, a 2010 study from the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that practicing yoga may lead to higher GABA levels (and, as a result, better mood, and less anxiety). This study compared people who exercised by walking to those who took regular yoga classes, thus suggesting that the yoga in particular—rather than exercise in general—made the difference. As yoga is a mind-body exercise, some have theorized that mindfulness and focus are somehow related to the rise in GABA levels. Possible Side Effects GABA supplements are considered to be likely safe when taken by mouth for up to 12 weeks. However, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid GABA as there is not enough information to determine if it is safe or effective. Due to the lack of supporting research, it's too soon to recommend GABA supplements (or herbal supplements said to increase GABA levels) for any condition. If you're considering the use of GABA supplements for prevention or treatment of a specific health problem, consult your physician before starting your supplement regimen. Dosage and Preparation Because there is limited information about GABA supplements, there is no recommended dose if you choose to supplement. In clinical trials, various doses of GABA supplements have been used. For example, 100 mL of fermented milk containing 10-12 mg of GABA per 100 mL was used by patients with high blood press in a study where they consumed the drink daily at breakfast for 12 weeks. In another study, a chlorella supplement containing 20 mg of GABA was taken twice daily for 12 weeks. What to Look For GABA supplements are sold in pill and capsule form. You may also see the supplement sold in powder form. It's important to check the label if you choose to purchase these products because there may be a variety of ingredients in the package. Before you buy any supplement, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that you look for a Supplement Facts label. This label provides important health information including the amount of active ingredients per serving, and other added ingredients (like fillers, binders, and flavorings). Lastly, the organization suggests that you look for a product that contains a seal of approval from a third party organization that provides quality testing. These organizations include U.S. Pharmacopeia, ConsumerLab.com, and NSF International. A seal of approval from one of these organizations does not guarantee the product's safety or effectiveness but it does provide assurance that the product was properly manufactured, contains the ingredients listed on the label, and does not contain harmful levels of contaminants.

The Germans have already launched the new Audi A3 Sedan, a rival for the Mercedes CLA, Acura ILX, Buick Verano and Lexus CT200h. The 2014 Audi A3 Sedan model will be produced in Germany, and as a first at a factory in China, coming with three engines and an appealing price.
After Mercedes-Benz captured the audience at the Geneva Motor Show 2013 with the live debut of the new CLA, Audi already prepared a rival. It's about the new Audi A3 Sedan, scheduled to debut on the market later this year.
Audi A3 Sedan – Design & Engine & Price
Developed on the same MQB modular platform and architecture of the new A3, Audi A3 Sedan measures 4.46 meters long (175.6 in), 1.80 meters wide (70.8 in) and 1.42 meters in height (55.9 in). The wheelbase measures 2.64 meters (103.9 in) guaranteeing enough room for 5 passengers.
As anticipated, the overall design attempts to combine the classic of a three-volume model with the flowing lines of a coupe, managing to position itself as a potential aesthetic rival for Mercedes CLA.
The interior is rather classic and simple. A 7-inch high resolution screen dominates the dashboard center, which serves as a visual interface for the Audi MMI multimedia system equipped with a 64 GB memory, DVD, many auxiliary connectivity elements and voice recognition.
Audi A3 Sedan Engines – Europe / North America
For the European market, the new Audi A3 Sedan will be available with three engines. The first is a 1.4-liter TFSI with cylinder deactivation system. The unit offers 140 horsepower and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft), enough for a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 217 km/h (135 mph). The fuel consumption also remains low, reaching in an mixed cycle 4.7 liters/100 km (60.1 mpg Imp. / 50 mpg US).
The 1.8-liter TFSI engine will develop 180 horsepower and 320 Nm (184 lb-ft). With a fuel economy of 5.6 liters (50.4 mpg Imp. / 42 mpg US), the engine also can guarantee a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.3 seconds, with a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph).
The most economical option in the Audi A3 Sedan range will be but undoubtedly the 2.0-liter TDI engine that produces 150 horsepower,320 Nm (236 lb-ft), and a mixed fuel efficiency of just 4.1 liters/100 km (68.9 mpg Imp. / 57.4 mpg US). Even so, the diesel offers good performance with a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.7 seconds and a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).
Along with the three engines, Audi will offer as a choice either the six-speed manual transmission or the six-speed automatic S-Tronic dual clutch.
The expected engine range for North America was confirmed as follows: the 2.0-liter TDI, the 1.8-liter TFSI and the 2.0-liter TFSI.
In Germany and many European countries, Audi A3 Sedan will be available in dealerships later this summer, with a base price for the 1.4 TFSI around EUR 25,000. For the North American market the new model will be available shortly after the European debut with a base price around $30,000.

Discover is a one year (September-July) residential opportunity to experience full-time Christian ministry for young people (aged 18-29). We are now open for applications for the year commencing September 2020 - please contact Revd Neil Patterson at email@example.com is happy to hear from those interested for future years. Information about similar schemes elsewhere in the Church of England can be found here
The 2019-20 cohort: Darcy, Theo and Susannah
Discover is a scheme to enable up to four young people each year to work full-time in ministry, living together in Hereford, based in parishes, and given appropriate support and finance. It is intended as a means for young people (18-29) to find support in their vocational journey with God.
At a school Careers Fair. Jo (standing) is now studying for ordination at Cranmer Hall and will return to Hereford as a curate this summer, Rebecca writes for Open Doors
You may be wondering whether ministry is for you, or seeking to test a vocation, or have been advised that you would benefit from more parish experience before theological training. We know that we cannot dictate how your vocation develops, but hope to provide an opportunity and the right resources to help you as you listen to God and seek direction in your life.
Hereford is the most rural diocese in England, and participants will grow in understanding of our distinctive context, its challenges, opportunities, and joys.
Across the Church of England, there is recognition that we need to do more to support young people with a sense of calling to ministry. Parish placements (also called internships or parish assistants) are recognised as an important element in this.
Space to Recover
Participants are accommodated in a shared house in Hereford, where interns will live together and have their own space to relax away from parish life. The house is provided with utilities (including WiFi) covered and interns are paid a weekly allowance (£83 for 2020-21). There will be regular visits to provide support and to keep on top of any issues which may arise in the placements.
Tell me more
The central part of the year is the placement of each participant in a parish or benefice, under the supervision of experienced clergy. They will be authorised to assist with worship, including communion, and become fully involved in the life of these places as a member of the staff team.
The opportunities vary, but include baptism and wedding preparation, schools work, community organisations, ministry groups and nurture courses, and occupy about 75% of the working time. Each applicant will be carefully matched with the most appropriate benefice and clergy supervisor for them.
Miles with us in 2017. He is now training for ordination at Cuddesdon, and has had a haircut!
Theological learning
All participants will be enrolled within the teaching programme of Cuddesdon: Gloucester & Hereford (CGH), based in Ludlow on Wednesday evenings, to provide for theological study.
The modules will be adaptable depending on experience, but will emphasize theological reflection on ministry practice. CGH will also model collaborative learning alongside ordinands and Reader trainees of varying age and background from the interns.
Personal Growth
Interns will also meet as a group monthly to follow a study course reflecting on their own self-understanding and growth in faith through the year, so whatever follows, they can go forward more confident in where God is calling them.
What next?
Our hope is that many of those who join Discover will go on to train for ordained ministry with Hereford or other dioceses, and Neil and others will provide support on that journey. But wherever you end up feeling God is calling you, we believe that this offers a way to grow in faith and discipleship.
How do I apply?
Contact the Director of Discover, Revd Neil Patterson (also DDVO for Hereford, contact details below) who will be pleased to discuss further with you and send an application form. Please note also that owing to the burdensome nature of current immigration rules, we regret that we cannot consider applications from overseas unless you already have permission to be resident in the UK.

Veganism Can Protect You from Heart Disease!
A balanced vegan diet can protect your heart and blood vessels, keeping you healthy, extending your life and reducing the need to take drugs for high blood pressure and cholesterol. A balanced vegan diet can protect our heart and blood vessels in the most optimal way. Major studies from around the world have shown time and time again that a plant-based diet may greatly reduce the risk of heart disease. Vegans have a lowered obesity risk, and studies show that the transition to a low-fat vegan diet can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and in some cases, even allow patients to cease using drugs altogether! Why is a plant-based diet good for your heart? First of all, because you stop consuming foods which contain saturated fat, cholesterol and other harmful substances. At the same time, you enrich your diet with plant foods, that contain fiber which helps lower cholesterol levels, unsaturated fat, and antioxidants which lower the risk of heart disease. The combination of reducing harmful foods, adding beneficial foods and maintaining normal weight gives vegans many health benefits which can prevent heart disease and other diseases.

- 2-1/4 to 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup oat bran
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, oat bran, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky).
- 2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- 3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a round loaf. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. With a sharp knife, make three diagonal slashes across top of loaf.
- 4. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to wire rack to cool.

I bought a rustic honey oat bran bread from the store that my kids really liked, and ran out during the polar vortex. I tried this recipe yesterday, (made the dough in my bread machine, then put it in a loaf pan) and everyone loved it. Making another today.
Dec 31, 1969
A yummy, low-fat bread. I put it in loaf pans.
Mar 31, 2011
We typically go for the light and crusty breads and I don't make too many from scratch but I wanted to try a heavier loaf to go with some chicken noodle soup tonight. This fit the bill. It was easy, used ingredients I had on hand, heavy, moist, not too large, had a hint of sweetness and everyone loved it. I will definately make it again. Thanks Nancy!

If you are searching for a custom packaging solution, blister packaging definitely should be at the top of your list. At Indepak, we can produce any type of blister package you might need, including trap blisters, face seals and clamshells to name a few. Read on to learn several reasons why blister packaging can be an excellent option for your unique product.
1. Blister Packaging Is A Cost-Effective Option
The materials we use for blister packaging are extremely affordable. Trap blisters and face seal blisters typically include a combination of paperboard and thermoform plastic. These materials not only have an affordable price tag, their light weight also helps to reduce your overall shipping costs. Virtually any product can be placed in blister packaging including personal care items, office supplies, electronics, toys, sporting goods, medical & pharmaceutical products and much more.
2. Custom Blister Packaging Is Versatile
The materials we use can be designed in virtually any shape or size, and there are many types of blister packaging. For instance, a face seal blister includes a single piece of paper board and your product in placed in thermoform plastic cavity. This cavity is then sealed to the paper board. This can be an excellent option for our customers that need a high volume of packaging. Another similar custom blister packaging option would be the full face seal, which extends the plastic to the edge of the paperboard, and perhaps just over the edge. This is a pricier option, but offers more protection and the extra plastic also can reinforce the hang hole on your package.
A trap blister is yet another option that includes a cavity that is shaped to fit your product with an extra edge around this plastic cavity. This cavity is placed between two pieces of paperboard thus trapping your product safely and securely.
Sometimes rather than using paperboard and plastic, it makes sense to design blister packaging in a clamshell format. A clamshell is a blister package that folds onto itself with a hinge at one end. Clamshells can be used for many retail products as well as specialty food items. Blister packaging and clamshells can be used for a product with just one piece or multiple parts. We can design custom cavities for each part of your product or produce a thermoform tray insert with one or more cavities.
3. Blister Packaging Is A Sustainable Option
At Indepak, nearly all of the materials we use are recyclable, and using a combination of paperboard and plastic, can reduce the overall amount of plastic you need to use. We can create packaging using materials with post-consumer content, as well. Our designers also ensure that your package is as small as possible, while still protecting and displaying your product to its best advantage. Reducing package size not only conserves materials, it also allows you to ship more units at a time, as more items will fit into your tertiary packaging.
4. Blister Packaging Protects & Defends Your Product
Thermoform plastics are some of the most impact-resistant materials available. Your product can get jostled around and still be well protected by your blister packaging. Additionally, many types of custom blister packs are highly tamper-proof, as well. Furthermore, these packages also protect products from moisture and mold, thus extending the life of your product.
Of course, thermoplastic packaging also allows consumers to see your product, which is another huge advantage. If your product is visible and a competitor's product is not, this can entice consumers to purchase your product because they truly can see what they are buying. While our designers focus on many aspects, including cost containment, space, weight and strength, presentation is also a huge factor, ensuring that your packaging is as attractive as possible.
If you need any shape or size of blister packaging or clamshell packaging, the team at Indepak can help. For more than 50 years, we have been creating custom packaging for clients from a wide range of industries. We can create blister packs for virtually any product imaginable. Give us a call to day and let's get started on your custom packaging project. We also will be hosting a booth at WestPack® from February 6-8, 2018. If you plan on attending this amazing expo, be sure to head over to our booth (5505) and discuss your packaging needs.

Opportunities for those in need
We provide support in the education of newcomers seeking to develop new initiatives to address the challenges in the community. Below are the list of currently open scholarships.
This scholarship honours Salim M. Sindhu, a civil engineer from Lahore, Pakistan, who immigrated to Calgary in 1974. His qualifications as an engineer, however, were not recognized, and he began to work as a labourer to support his family. With aspirations to improve his life in Canada, Salim returned to school at SAIT Polytechnic and the University of Calgary, which eventually led to work opportunities within his field. His desire to give back to the community was exemplified when he founded the Calgary Immigrant Educational Society (CIES), the organization for which he acted as the Executive Director of CIES for 26 years. Regrettably, Mr. Sindhu passed away on November 10, 2014. In July of 2019, the Society's name was changed to The Immigrant Education Society (TIES).
In keeping with his values and vision, TIES sponsors the Salim M. Sindhu Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is intended to financially support the education of an individual seeking to develop new initiatives to address the challenges faced by newcomers and economically disadvantaged individuals. The amount will go towards the tuition of the winning applicant to pursue a post-secondary certificate, diploma, or degree in a field which aligns with Salim's legacy, such as non-profit management/governance, social innovation, international relations, or immigrant consultation.
The total scholarship to be awarded is $1000.

- This could be a program, a research project, a conference,
- Outline their own role in helping newcomers overcome this barrier: what qualities and experience enable the applicant to make a difference in the immigrant community of Calgary?
- Please include any volunteer experience and community efforts.
Emphasis will be placed on:
- Originality/Innovation – the proposed idea is creative and well considered
- Specificity – the ideas presented in the essay are specific
- Clarity of intent – the applicant's points are clear and flow naturally from one to the next
- Quality of work – the essay is presented professionally, using thoughtful vocabulary, proper formatting and correct grammar
Essay entries can be submitted by e-mail OR hard copy by mail. Entries should be typed in Times New Roman size 12 font on 8.5×11" letter size paper, double spaced. Hard copies should be single sided and stapled in the top left.

I've seen too many book stores shutter their doors, and it's always a shame. Still a few good ones around here though.
I've seen too many book stores shutter their doors, and it's always a shame. Still a few good ones around here though.
When I was in the Army, I would often spend Summers at Ft Lewis working with ROTC Cadets. I always ended up mailing home 2-3 boxes of books, many of them purchased from the Tacoma Book Center.
I wound up buying the Heritage Press edition of Daisy Miller by Henry James. It's an in between sized book that comes with an inbetween size slipcase. I just couldn't resist when I saw the incredibly good price.
Books are weapons in the war of ideas.
You can get some nice Heritage Press books for relatively cheap. I'm not familiar with that particular book though. Still need to read some Henry James.
Books are weapons in the war of ideas.
I think that used to be more of a practice in general for older fine press books. I've seen (and have) little inserts of varied length (some just a pamphlet, others more like a chapbook) that came with Franklin and Easton press, even some of Reader's Digest's books, like my girlfriend's copy of Robin Hood. I'm not really certain on the purpose of this practice. Why not print it in the book? Cheaper I maybe, and maybe it would get reprinted in later editions. Still seems strange to me.
Last Sunday I attended the annual Vintage Paperback Collector's Show and contracted The Plague, knocking me out of commission for three of my last few days in beautiful Southern California (I know it was you, mother-#&$#@%. I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you).
But I'm feeling much better now and got some great books signed. Tim Powers signed my Library of America's American Fantastic Tales. Obsessions and Silver Screams received more sigs, and Subterranean's Tales of Dark Fantasy got a couple as did their Best of trade editions of Gregory Benford and Larry Niven. My Hartwell-signed 1st edition of The Dark Descent added Etchison's sig to his story.
Most important is this one. My copy doesn't have the limitation page but is worth a heck of a lot more to me now than another copy that does have one. Etchison and R.C. Matheson signed their introductions to stories, and Mr. Matheson's was quite touching, but it was William F. Nolan who brought it home.
I'm standing in line, realizing that because I usually skip intros when reading stories for the first time I'd never actually read the pages I'm about to have signed. I shuffled along and read, getting to Bill Nolan's intro where it was almost palpable how much he missed his friend; when I stepped up to the man the connection between the two authors was still lingering, solid in the mind. Mr. Nolan gingerly accepted the unjacketed, hefty book, didn't immediately recognize it, adjusted it to look at the cover, didn't immediately recognize it, turned it to look at the spine, and a light leapt both into and out of his eyes. He saddened but also livened up considerably. We spoke of the incredible collection and our admiration for the writer whose imagination opened the eyes of the world. He spoke of his friendship with Mr. Beaumont and told a couple of stories, neither of which I recall properly because something was still thick in the air--perhaps the ghost of the monster himself, hand resting lightly on the seated Nolan's shoulder, saying hello to his old friend. For a moment I was there with them both.
Still one of the greatest books in my collection, now something more:

Bugen, thanks for sharing that story. What an amazing experience! The signatures are a great addition to such an impressive volume, but with that experience, what a treasured edition it must be now. Congratulations!
Very nice, Andrew!
Bugen, very nice...thanks for sharing. I have VOICES as well, and it's an outstanding collection, made better only by what you've done to yours.
As you've gathered from this thread (did you catch my recent signed Charles Beaumont piece?), I'm a huge Beaumont fan as well, and have a Beaumont/Nolan story I can share:
Over the course of two or three years in the '90s, Bill and I used to be fairly consistent pens pals -- back in the days before email took over -- and Beaumont was a very regular topic of conversation -- not unexpected, given my affinity for his work and Bill's love for the man. At one point (and before I had my own two signed (by Beaumont) Beaumont books), he was kind enough to photocopy all the signature pages of the books he'd had personally inscribed to him by his friend, Beaumont, and mail them to me...there are probably close to a dozen, though it's been a while since I've looked at them. I thought that was just an incredible move of generosity on his part, and while time, his changing circumstances (estranged marriage, new residence, etc.), and technology eroded our penpal status, I've never forgotten Bill's act of kindness. They're valueless, of course, but for me that have immense worth...and they're pretty cool, too.
Thanks, fellas. And Ron, that's really cool. I believe I caught your Beaumont post (that was for The Hunger, right?). In which other book do you have The Man's signature?
I had no idea the two writers were as close friends as they were until that convention, and though I'm not sure I'll ever see Mr. Nolan again I'll always remember the haunting magic around that moment.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but you wouldnt want to live there.
-John Barth
Yes, he and Nolan were great friends, colleagues, and car racing buddies. By the way, Nolan has written a bio-bibliography of Beaumont, a tpb that's worth picking up. EDIT: Here is a picture of it...it's published by Borgo Press:
EDIT 2: Btw, if you haven't already watched it, this recent DVD is well worth the cost of admission:

Great story Andrew! It's always interesting, and in this case quite heartwarming, to hear of author friendships. Nice to know that not everyone has to be at each others throats in competition with each other.
Today I received Monster Midway by William L Gresham. Monster Midway is about the world of the carnival and the circus. After learning about this book, I really wanted a copy since it has much info. about carnivals. Lately I have been fascinated by carnivals and have discovered there are many carnivals that travel to this area of California that are completely separate from fairs/state fairs. The book itself seems to be in solid condition and the dustjacket is in much better shape than what I anticipated after viewing the dustjacket at Biblio. I still plan on going to a FedEx Office location to see what it would cost to have this version of the book's dustjacket recreated. This version of the book is from a London publisher and on the front of the dustjacket it reads 2nd Impression. I love it!!
Books are weapons in the war of ideas.
I've noticed a bit of trend around here. Seems like Carnival stories have been in fashion.

With sufficient hot water supply and fast heating technology, the heat pump covers the hot water requirement of a whole family.
The clear controller display, specially designed by PHNIX, makes it easy for users to power on/off, set temperature, timer and heating/defrosting mode.
a. Prevent build-up growth of legionella;
b. Higher temperature than 60oC will be dangerous for domestic use;
-Water Flow Switch Protection
When water inlet volume is low, the unit stops to protect the system. When the water volume recovers, the unit starts working again.

My guess is that when Hank Paulson went to Washington, he hoped to be the one who would really open up China's largely closed domestic financial market to investment from private US financial firms. Paulson always seemed more passionate about financial liberalization than exchange rate appreciation. It now seems more likely that by the end of Paulson's tenure as Treasury Secretary, China's government will have increased the scale of its minority stakes in large US banks and broker dealers while private US firms will still not have majority stakes in large Chinese banks.
Beijing needs places to invest, not more inflows. Chinese banks do not need another round of cash from Goldman or anyone else, and wouldn't sell at anything like the same price. The Chinese state banks -- and as well as their ultimate owner, the CIC – all have plenty of cash to invest in troubled US banks. They are exceptionally liquid.
The Bush Administration has clearly opted to focus on the need to keep the US market open to foreign investment of all kinds, including investment from large government funds -- not on the risks of "state control" and the associated challenge to the logic of market capitalism. That opens up space for China's government and large Chinese state banks to buy into the US financial system.
Naked Capitalism (happy blog birthday!) has an interesting discussion of the trade that got Morgan Stanley into trouble. I am not sure I fully understand the details ("long $14B super senior, short $2B mezz "), but it seems like Morgan effectively held seven times as many higher-quality mortgage backed securities (super-senior tranches of CDOs constructed from mortgage backed securities) as it had sold short lower-quality securities (mezzanine tranches of similar CDOs), with the bigger position in the higher quality securities offsetting the interest cost of shorting the lower quality securities.
If you cut through the correlation analysis -- from the comments at Naked Capitalism: "I heard that they had a correlation delta neutral position of Longer super senior/short junior mezz which would tally with the 14long/2short position you report. Sadly for them in a crisis correlation tends to 1 and they were long correlation on the 2/short on the 14" -- it seems like Morgan Stanley bet that the subprime crisis would be bad (making it worthwhile to be short the lower-quality stuff) but not too bad (in which case the long position on the higher quality stuff would bite).
Better call China.
It is a little ironic that some of the banks who were advising US companies that they had too much equity, too much cash and too little debt on their balance sheets for a low volatility world turned out to have too little equity, too little cash and too much debt on their own balance sheets to manage a bit of volatility in the housing market.
UPDATE: Maybe I should have said, better call China, the Gulf or Singapore. It looks like Singapore's Temasek may take a stake in Merrill. Pretty soon every major sovereign fund will have its own in house bank or broker dealer. THow quickly the world changes. In 1997, the US government helped bail out out cash strapped Asian economies; in 2007, Asian government investment funds seem intent on helping to bail out cash strapped American banks and broker-dealers.

Death drive
In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive (German: Todestrieb) is the drive towards death and self-destruction. It was originally proposed by Sabina Spielrein in her paper "Destruction as the Cause of Coming Into Being" ( "Die Destruktion als Ursache des Werdens") which was then taken up by Sigmund Freud in 1920 in Beyond the Pleasure Principle. This concept has been translated as, "opposition between the ego or death instincts and the sexual or life instincts".In Pleasure Principle,
Freud used the plural "death drives" (Todestriebe) much more frequently than in the singular.
The death drive opposes Eros, the tendency toward survival, propagation, sex, and other creative, life-producing drives. The death drive is sometimes referred to as "Thanatos" in post-Freudian thought, complementing "Eros", although this term was not used in Freud's own work, being rather introduced by one of Freud's followers, Wilhelm Stekel.

When we start learning any new programming language or framework, the First questions comes is How we can get data from server. In Lightning Web Component (LWC) today we will check How we can call Apex Method from Lightning Web Components controller. In my other post I have already cover this topic but I think I should write a dedicate post for this one.
Today we will check in how many way we can call Apex method from Lightning Web Components (LWC).
First we need to import the Apex class and its method.
import apexMethodName from '@salesforce/apex/Namespace.Classname.apexMethodReference';
Now we need to make a method available to Lightning Web Component (LWC). Here
cacheable=true enable client side caching. Marking a method as
cacheable improves our component's performance by quickly showing cached data from client-side storage without waiting for a server trip.
To use
@wire to call an Apex method, we must set
cacheable=true. But once we have used cacheable we cannot use DML in that.
public static List<sObject> getRecord() {
//return records;
Now we have three method in which we can call Apex method from Lightning Web Components.
- Wire a property
- Wire a function
- Call a method imperatively
Wire a Property
If we don't want to operate on returned data and just want to show that on UI, We will use this. Here we will bind return data with a property and later will use that in UI.
@track searchKey = '';
@wire(findContacts, { searchKey: '$searchKey' })
<template if:true={contacts.data}>
<template for:each={contacts.data} for:item="contact">

{contact.Name}

Wire a function
In this approach the results are provisioned to a function, so the JavaScript can operate on the results. Also, the template accesses the data a bit differently than if results were provisioned to a property. Now if we take same code in wire it to function. NOw we can use this for other processing as well
wiredContacts({ error, data }) {
if (data) {
this.contacts = data;
this.error = undefined;
} else if (error) {
this.error = error;
this.contacts = undefined;
Call a method imperatively
If we want to perform DML operations we need to call method imperatively. If an Apex method is annotated with
cacheable=true, we can invoke it via the wire service or call it imperatively. Now we are calling same method imperatively
.then(result => {
this.contacts = result;
.catch(error => {
this.error = error;
Refresh The Cache
To Refresh the cache, we need to call `refreshApex` and need to pass WiredProperty Name. From the first method we can pass contacts in
import { refreshApex } from '@salesforce/apex';
You can check full working example of Wire function here:
The example of Call a method imperatively, you can check here:

An interesting feature of the Dyavox V's preprogrammed phrases are some of the 'age appropriate language' they included. I went to a workshop where they explained how they felt that kids with disabilities needed access to the same language that other kids their age used. While I'm all for that, the "Shut Up!" and "Mine!" buttons were a little shocking to hear. They went on to remind us that everyday speech is not as formal as it's sometimes programmed. "Could you please pass the butter?" should be "Pass the butter" in a more casual setting. Ok, I can see their point.
When Adrian's device arrived I had to decide if I should leave some of these 'age appropriate' phrases on or remove them. I thought perhaps I was simply not being open enough in my thinking. Was it my own comfort level keeping him from engaging in more age appropriate speech?
Then all the sudden it dawned on me. This is not language that I'd allow my other kids to use! This is not 'age appropriate'. This is inappropriate no matter what your age! We don't say things like "Shut up!" around here, why should we be encouraging Adrian to do it? The three year old might occasionally say "Mine!" but he's quickly reminded that it's not appropriate and he needs to go about asking for his item in a calm, polite manner. I feel that our job is to teach Adrian appropriate communication skills. How can we expect him to do that if we're giving him inappropriate choices?
As far as the casual language goes, I see the point about shortening the phrase to make it more casual. But in the examples they gave, they almost always removed a key word in our house – "Please." For our other children, it's not optional. Adrian's no different. He knows and uses the sign for please as well as making a pretty good vocal approximation. I program a prominent "please" button on each page that makes a request… and we expect him to use it! Casual language need not be rude.
I think the fact that these choices were put in there shows that our society has a lax interpretation of 'age appropriate' language in general. I'm just glad I can re-program these phrases to be polite and respectful. To me, that is age appropriate.

Last week, BuILD hosted Alexandra Chapman, Co-founder and COO of Totally Optimized Projects for a Hands-on Discussion & Workshop for practitioners as well as students.
Project Management philosophies are important because they color the way we approach the problem. Good project managers require a toolbox filled with differing approaches in order to ensure they are equipped to operate in a variety of settings.
The TOP method is just one such method, one such school of thought. There were many interesting aspects to this project management methodology that is based on over 20 years of experience including definitions of value, identifying desired outcomes, and calculating value drivers.
Defining the endgame
As is the case with many project management tools and methods, identifying the scope and parameters for measuring success are unavoidable. For example, if you are working agile, you would call it your definition of done and it represents the culmination of a sprint.
In this way path dependency is produced: how do I move my team from where we are now to where we are going? For TOP this is question is crucial. Consider Alice in Wonderland asking the Chesire Cat for directions.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where–" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
Applying TOP in practice
The methods seeks to create shared understanding of a project and its goals in order to ensure each element of the project is in face value-driven, and ultimately fills the gaps between the business and IT activities.
It accomplishes this through providing practitioners with tangible ways of codifying tacit knowledge, shifting focus from cost to value through systematic repeatable processes that link business strategy with each individual project.
TOP in the Classroom
ITU Lecturer, Christian Stadager says this of the method, "TOP is quite innovative in it's simple approach delivering value – something I have never seen meticulously broken down into an actionable methodology." And brought the method into his Digital Governance course for third semester Master's students studying Digital Innovation & Management.
Sound Interesting?
If this method of project management has piqued your interest and you would like to learn more about applying it in your organization or your studies then let us know! We are happy to offer tools and guidance in any of the project management methodologies we discuss here and we are happy to help.

Contractor stole $70K meant for Sandy repairs
Mark and Diane Wisniewski receive a welcome call about the contractor who started and didn't finish work on their Sandy damaged Toms River home.
TOMS RIVER — A New York contractor was convicted of third-degree theft Friday after he stole about $70,000 that was supposed to help repair a home damaged in superstorm Sandy.
Che Smith, 47, of Berne, N.Y. was convicted in a bench trial before Ocean County Superior Court Judge James M. Blaney, according to a prepared statement from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office.
Smith was paid more than $76,000 for repairs to a home in Tuckerton, but he performed little work and "misappropriated" about $70,000, according to the prosecutor's office.
He is tentatively scheduled to be sentenced next month.

… your business could get additional help without adding personnel?
… the work habits of your salespeople would warn you they are unhappy before they leave you?
… your past actions could predict the best time of day and frequency to contact your customers?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both going to change how sales are made and not have much effect on how salespeople work- at the same time.
The best AI is going to enable salespeople to be more effective with the time and resources they have. Certainly, AI will automate processes and even contact customers directly. Those services are already becoming widespread even if companies may not be using them well. Sales departments will get better at it over time to the point many interactions will be automated, and the customer will not know.
Well run sales organizations will take advantage of the technology to focus their salesperson efforts on high value contacts events. Not every customer, even the most valuable, needs the personal touch on every contact event. To boost efficiency, AI tells salespeople when the best time to contact customers is and which contact events should be left to the automated systems.
Likewise, AI can monitor salespeople activity. Perhaps patterns of delayed calls or more emails than calls indicate the potential that salespeople may be looking to leave. Excessive discounting or smaller average orders than expected may also be factors. A lot of these warning signs might be specific to your organization. Taken into an AI model, sales managers can more effectively monitor and manage more salespeople.
You can maximize your sales effort with smart AI.

Bank Shame Campaign Protest
Mayor Krebs supports Assemblyman Mickey Kearns protests against Banks responsible for zombie properties.
Please see the following for information regarding this subject:
This is an enormous issue for working families trying to get ahead. Their frustration was shown on Friday, January 15, 2016 when we were joined on the picket of a bank which is a particularly unresponsive actor in Erie County. The link can be seen here -https://m.youtube.com/watch?
The community's concerns are as follows:
1) For the middle class homeownership as a percentage of net worth is up to 67% of their entire asset portfolio. It is the largest asset in the middle class family's portfolio.
2) According to Kathleen Engel, The Subprime Virus page 145 note 111, " A single home in foreclosure costs a neighborhood 1.4 percent in home value for the homes within 1/8 of a mile from any given home."
3) Also many middle income families are not able to get home owner's insurance when more than one abandoned or foreclosed home appears in their neighborhood.
4) The eventual costs for demolition and upkeep of abandoned and foreclosed homes are transferred to taxpayers because the towns, villages, cities and counties are by law unable to collect these costs because the banks aren't technically or formally the owner of the abandoned property until the bank completes the foreclosure process (RPAPL 1307).
The major asset for middle income families is put at risk when the families are not allowed to buy homeowners insurance and furthermore the value of their primary asset is also reduced. We are all paying for the banks not engaging in our neighborhoods and being responsible neighbors and members of a community.
I ask for your support and sponsorship for the three bills.
