Carlyn (Walker) Nichols, a Science, Culinary, and Maker educator at Seward Middle School, a 2018 Kenai BP Teacher of Excellence, and 1997 Seward High graduate said,
I believe our young people need to struggle together to solve problems, explore new ideas, create content, and engage with their communities locally as well as beyond. If we limit their experiences and their chance to wrestle with ideas, problems and questions, we are limiting their ability to succeed in a future that will demand innovation and collaboration."
One parent wrote: "My son had never shown a keen interest in science until he entered her classroom. Now, he can't wait to get to her class so he can be immersed in her lessons and strike off on new adventures of discovery. When you ask your child how their day went and he replies 'It was awesome since I had Mrs. Nichols today,' you know that teacher is something special."
Mrs. Nichols explains, "In order to combat these trends and increase student access to vocational skills I created a Maker Lab and foods class at Seward Middle School. Now students can be makers, creators, computer scientists, cooks, and artists. These students have built furniture for their rooms, made their own longboards, lamps and blankets, coded their first robot, created their first video game, taken apart engines, learned to solder, or were content to create art or small projects that held their pencils or money. Giving students a place to play, tinker, and make has brought me an incredible sense of joy and accomplishment. They are learning to experiment, work independently, try and fail, and repeat."
"This is a very exciting and challenging time to be an educator amidst the possibilities and trappings of technology. Students now have more opportunities to access information, collaborate, create, and curate than ever before. Access to technology enables us to challenge and inspire students to innovate and involve themselves in new and exciting ways. We can deliver content in a much more relevant, fluid, diverse, and personal way using technology. However, our students are already very plugged in and can easily become passive and apathetic learners in a high tech environment. It is up to us to leverage technology in a way that improves their experience and ability to engage with the content. Our curriculum should drive them to problem solve, innovate, participate, and safely step beyond their comfort zone. Technology should make education more meaningful, individual and creative, not passive or disconnected.
At the same time, we as educators and parents need to find every opportunity for young people to manipulate, play, and explore their environments. Students are more and more disconnected from the physical and natural world; it is up to us to mindfully act to mend that. It is crucial we give them the chance to physically construct, design, experiment, and observe their world. We must mindfully act to mend the disconnect between our students and the world beyond their screens.
I am incredibly proud to build and teach a culinary arts class at Seward Middle School. Through this class, my students have fed needy families, catered board meetings and treated their families to home cooked meals. Together we explore nutrition, meal planning, and new foods. Foods class is vital because they gain one more skill toward an independent life and knowledge of healthy eating, not to mention the essential skills of washing dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning a kitchen. It is courses like Maker Lab and Foods Class where I feel like I make the most difference as a teacher; it is where I see students light up, feel the greatest sense of accomplishment and pride. Everyone can succeed in Maker Lab and Foods class; in these safe spaces, all students are equal."
After graduating from Seward High in 1997, Carlyn earned her Bachelor of Arts (with honors) from the University of Denver in Environmental Science, minored in International studies. She studied abroad in Uganda, then returning to Alaska, earned her Master of Arts Teaching Program—Secondary Education from the University of Alaska Southeast
Carlyn writes, "I was fortunate enough to have many amazing teachers while attending Seward Elementary and Seward Middle-High School. Deb Burdick was a strong, intelligent female role model who challenged and helped me learn to be patient with math. My chemistry teacher Jim Barkman was engaging and the first teacher to really push and prepare me for a college education in science. Wayne Clark was an incredible Spanish teacher. We learned more Spanish from two years of high school with him than any college course. He was on the cutting edge of differentiation and engagement; we danced, we cooked, we played, we drew and it was reason we retained so much. I have fashioned much of my classroom philosophy and strategies from his model. I teach in this district because the one and only Martha Fleming encouraged me to apply and work at Seward High, and how could I say no to her or ignore her advice?"
"I was fortunate to have many influential teachers in my life, but the experiences that were the most important to who I am happened outside the classroom. While a student of KPBSD, I traveled to Magadan, Russia, acted in plays, produced yearbooks and newsletters, visited Washington DC twice—one time as a volunteer at President Clinton's Inauguration. I played sports, wrote for the local paper, sang and played instruments, and practiced being a leader in student government. There is no way I would be the teacher or mom I am today without all those experiences and challenges. When I look back through my photo albums the most powerful memories and crucial moments are my extra-curricular activities. They showed me what I could do and who I was."
Grab every opportunity to expand your world and perspective beyond our great state and communities. Some of us grow up in small towns but it does not mean we have to limit ourselves to what is here. It is important to go beyond your comfort zone and geography to find programs that truly help you discover who you are or show you what you can do.
Finally, seek out mentors—adults who are not in your family who understand you or share your interests or goals. Each mentor challenges and nourishes us in a unique way, all of which leads to a richer life.

Scripture References;
9And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Luke 18:9-14 KJV
24For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:24-39 KJV
9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11: 9-13 NIV
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:5-13 KJV
What more can I say? When it comes to prayer, the Lord gives us models of both pleasing words and a pleasing attitude. He also gives believers the Holy Spirit, who prays for us. The Lord is so faithful. Even when it comes to prayer He supplies our every need!
Here is one of my favorite Hymns:
Rock of Ages
1 ROCK of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know.
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

When Isa Gouverneur (then Art Director) and Paula Giraldo (then Senior Designer, now Assoc. Art Director) of New School Communications and External Affairs Design Studio asked us last year to design the cover for 2011 Spring 2011 issue ("Design and the Body") of re:D, the Parsons Alumni magazine, William Morrisey and I took on the challenge by creating an informal independent study project. We drafted students from both the AAS GD and Communication Design Programs to achieve a rich voice, as both groups brought different perspectives to the table. The team included Dwight Armstrong (AAS GD), Roxanne Bello (CD), Stefan Knecht (CD) and Andie Reid (AAS GD). The collaboration turned out to be stellar, and inspired all of us. It was an amazingly satisfying experience, topped off by being selected for the Certificate of Typographical Excellence by the Type Directors Club, for Typography 33. The work will also be shown at the 58th Awards Exhibition in New York.

It's a mystery why NBC passed on Jimmy Fallon's Lip Sync Battle — since it's always the funniest segment of his show — but Spike TV picked it up, and now NBC's loss is our gain. Last night The Rock squared off against the venerable host of The Tonight Show with a bouncy cover of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off," and at the very least won MY DAMN HEART.
My favorite three things about this, in no particular order:
1. The Rock is a hulking mass of a human being singing one of the goofiest songs ever. It's like he's aiming an arrow right at the immediate crush part of my brain.
2. Lest you think he's too cute, he flips off America's Sweetheart™Jimmy Fallon!
3. He actually seems to be enjoying himself. Look at the way he closes his eyes every time he says "Mmm hmmm!" I'm so glad Dwayne Johnson didn't come of age during shoegaze-y emo times, because this is adorable in all the right ways.

when using the ozone plate ozone tube, you should use to fan to cool both the ozone plate, ozone tube and ozone transformer. The working temperature should not be higher then 50℃,
2,Safe distance you should know
It is strictly forbidden to install the ozone generator power supply in the metal tank. We often use stainless steel case, If it is installed in the metal box, ensure that the ozone generator power supply is on the left and right sides of the power supply 5cm or more from the metal. At the same time, it should be equipped with good ventilation equipment. One of my customers send me pictures to show his installment of ozone transformers, transformers are too close to each other, This can cause electromagnetic interference, so cause the broken of the transformer. This is a very important point.
3, what's the working environment?
ozone transformer working environment should be cooling and dry, if the working environment is moist, that's can also influence the lifetime of the ozone transformer. If you are work beside the sea, it maybe have some influence.
4,How to do after ozone transformer stop work?
When ozone generator is not in use, first stop the power of the ozone generator, the fan should still work 20 to 30 minutes, to cool the ozone tube or the ozone plate, when the ozone tube or plate recovery to normal temperature, it can stop the fan, it is best to unplug the power. The equipment must be well grounded to prevent lightning.
- Connect wires length requirement
The connection line between the ozone generator power supply and the ozone plate or ozone tube shall be a high-voltage insulated wire with a withstand voltage exceeding 20,000 volts and the length of the connecting line shall not exceed 1 m
- Ozone transformer can work continuously?
When ozone transformer connect with ozone tube or ozone plates, it is better that working 2hours and then shut down one hour, please do not work continuously long time such as 24 hours. Using a timer is good to control the working time.
- Please connect well
The output wires must be well connected to the ozone tube or ozone plate to prevent poor contact and ignition and affect the fire. Please let engineer connect with them.
- Distance of high voltage circuit
The distance between the high voltage circuit,Between the high voltage circuit and the conductor such as metal should be more then 1cm
In recent years, as people have become more and more concerned about environmental issues, ozone generator accessories have become more and more popular, and many customers have purchased them to assemble ozone machines. I hope that customers can read this article while using ozone power to avoid unnecessary losses. Also if you have other questions about ozone, feel free to follow our website or contact us. A good-quality ozone generator will be one of the most reliable appliances in your home. Troubleshooting problems with an ozone generator is relatively simple, and most concerns can be solved by consulting your owner's manual for regular maintenance.

It was an amazing year for Marco and Jos, better known as Bass Chaserz! They did release many stunning tracks this year. Think about tracks like; Time 2 Die, Reach up in ya mouth and Extreme Aggression. Their development wasn't unnoticed. Certainly not after Deetox played their new big banger at Qlimax 2015; In Control. We thought it was time to get acquainted with these two men. Let's have a chat with Bass Chaserz!
Hi Jos and Marco, as I mentioned, 2015 was a fantastic year for you musically. How are you guys doing after all these crazy things happened?
Yes, 2015 was awesome for us! We had some great performance and we made a lot of progress with making our music so it can't be better for now!
For our new readers, can you give us a little introduction about you guys?
Haha, Of Course! We are Marco and Jos, together we are Bass Chaserz. We are Hardstyle Dj's/Producers from the Netherlands.
Let's go back to the start – How did you guys meet?
We met in a rather unusual way!! We know each other from our work. Jos is a carpenter and Marco is a plumber. During the breaks, we started talking about music and after quite some weeks we sat together, producing music.
So, when the dance floor is destroyed, we can call Jos to repair ;)!
Haha, if he isn't destroyed by our own music!! 😉
How did you both come up with Hardstyle?
We are both from an early age, so we went to parties and from there the love for hardstyle arise.
Both of you are really passionate with the harder styles, do you guys like to listen to other music genres sometimes?
Marco: I listen to the radio sometimes, but for 98 % I listen to hardstyle. Everywhere! Hardstyle is what I love the most so. And I think as a DJ you have to know the tracks you play so that takes a lot of time.
Jos: Johny Cash, Muse, Bob Marley and Frans Duits!!! hehe
When did you guys start DJing, and producing?
We did play together for the first time in 2011 for a local DJ contest where we made it to the final and that's where it all started. In the meantime, we did start producing as well!
Bass Chaserz - Reach up in ya mouth
How did you guys learn to DJ and produce? Has anyone helped you, or did you master it all yourself?
We have learned to play like most of the artists do, at home in our loft. In the beginning, we didn't understand the programs, so we went to a school where we learned a lot. Experimenting is the key to success! But we also learned and still learn very much from Endymion and High Voltage. We are signed at Nightbreed and if we ask something they always give some great tips.
It is always great to have someone helping you and giving you tips of course! Talking about that, do you have any tips for talents who are now in their lofts, dreaming about a career like you guys?
Well, let us be honest with you. Our career is just starting right now. You know, there is still so much to reach for us!! We are only looking forward from to place we stand now, We only got that far by working extremely hard! The first three years we only sat there and try to do it right. But at one point you will get it.
When we started with DJing we practiced a lot. In the beginning, we did use to put Headhunterz – Dragonborn under our own tracks. We did get that tip from Jelle (Endymion), because that was one of the best-produced tracks at that moment.
So we listen carefully and try to make sounds and try to let it sound that way. It took a lot of time to get this far, but it was great! Now we can work on our sound by using this kind of things we have learned.
What makes you, as a duo, different from the rest?
Well, that's difficult to say, You can really recognize our style! It's raw of course, but always with a good and energetic melody in it. And Jos is also MC when we play so that's a little different.
You guys did participate for a local DJ contest, after that it all went incredibly fast, how have you dealt with all this attention?
We have to rectify that question. We did send our music to Endymion and since we joined Loudness Records, Headliner Music and the Nightbreed family it is going incredibly fast! And the attention is coming more and more now, But that is cool!
The attention is well deserved for sure! If we look at what you have achieved so far, what are you most proud of?
Haha, that are a lot of things!! But the #1 position on hardstyle.com with our track 'In Control' and playing in a fully packed Loudness stage on Decibel were highlights for sure!!
In Control, Goddamn we really love that track too! Can we expect more madness coming our way?
Yes! Amazing to see In Control was #1 in the charts! Of course, you can expect more madness :D, for instance, check our new track 'Big Dick'!. We always try to think like we are in the audience and think what we would like to hear when we are in the crowd, and as you can see, it works!
Bass Chaserz - Big Dick
You guys played at Defqon, Ground Zero and on New Year's night you played on Freaqshow, we hope main stage next year. What is next on your list?
Yes, we had a lot of wonderful bookings this year, and of course for every artist Decibel and Defqon are the main goals, especially if you can play during prime time.
We try to make good music and hope we will get awesome bookings in 2016!
What was the greatest event so far?
For both of us, that was Decibel. We had the honour to open the Loudness stage, and after 45 minutes the place was really packed. The vibe was awesome that moment!
We can easily imagine that. It must be a great feeling opening the Loudness stage. Talking about feelings, vibes and fans. What is the craziest thing a fan has done for you?
Haha, no one did something crazy, but it is really cool to see that there are a handful of guy's that are following us everywhere we go!! Really great!
Who are your favourite DJs?
Marco: B-Front
Jos: Ran – D
Great choices, why do you guys choose these two great producers?
B-front is a man with the energy that gives you goosebumps, amazing to see!
Ran-D is in our opinion, one of the best producers at the moment! His tracks are sounding so fresh! It's like you have the track, and the KICK! We hope to get it like that one day.
We send you both to an uninhabited island, you are allowed to listen to one track only, which would it be?
Jos: 'Johny Cash – Hurt'
Marco: 'Haha, that's Endymion and Nosferatu – Drunk with a Gun'
Where did you meet Degos & Re-Done? Can we expect a collab soon?
We met 'Thijs' for the first time at ADE. We immediately had a nice feeling. So we made an appointment to produce a track together with Thijs, Krijn and Peter. They are just happy and crazy persons, just like us. I think you can imagine how it goes when we are working in the studio. 😛
Final question: Do you guys have anything to share with us, maybe something unique or something to say to your fans?
It is amazing to see that a lot of people are coming to almost every set we play at major events. We really want to thank them for their support and we hope we can also inspire other people with our music and energy on stage.

Kristin & Vic were my early birds on 10/11/12. Kristin asked me if we had any availability on 10/11/12 and I told her we were pretty full but completely open on the 10th and the 13th. She picked the 10th and then found out that the 10/11/12 date was pretty important to Vic. We were able to squeeze them in for an early morning ceremony on Lindqusit Beach, St. Thomas.
My favorite element? This photo of Vic's grandparents. The photographer, Megan Biggs, shared the story with me:
It was really important to Vic to have a picture that showed his wedding ring while holding his grandparents' picture. They were married for 52 years and their relationship was one that he admired and strives for. His love for them and desire to include them in the wedding was very sweet!
Congratulations Kristin – it looks like you have a truly wonderful husband!!
Katrina – if you're reading this – your photos are coming soon…I thought the photos Megan sent me said "Katrina" but they really said "Kristin"!

John 5:31-47
For the next several months we will be walking through the life and teachings of Jesus as told to us by someone who walked with Him, the Apostle John.
We finished chapter 5 this week. In these last 17 verses, Jesus takes the Pharisees to "court". After calling himself the Judge last week, Jesus calls some witnesses to the "stand". The heart of this passage is verse 34: "but I say these things so you might be saved." Jesus is doing all of this to point the Pharisees to Himself. Their hearts are hard and they don't want to have anything to do with Him, but He continues to drive His point. In verse 39, Jesus points them to the Scriptures – something the Pharisees are keenly aware of – and says this: "You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life." Could this be said of us in the Church today? How does this knowledge of Jesus as the Judge help you worship? Does this passage push you to engage your friends and neighbors with the Good News that there is a Judge who will pass judgment on all mankind, but offers peace with Himself?
If you would like to begin a conversation about following Jesus or would like to talk more about how your story and the Gospel connect, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions, please feel free to ask them here.

Nurse retention and recruitment programs are important for hospitals and senior living facilities.
High turnover means more invested in training. Plus, without a good staff of nurses, treatment and care for your patients will suffer. And in the world we live in today, a bad experience at a hospital or senior living facility can spread rapidly and have a major impact on consumer perceptions.
Brand perception has a very obvious link to how many patients choose to be treated by you, but there is another important aspect: opinions about your brand will affect the retention and quality of incoming nurses to your organization.
Below are a few tips which senior living and hospital marketing professionals should consider regarding nurse recruitment:
1. Be The Good: Effectively Communicate Your Why
People today want to work for companies that do good things for people. If your hospital or senior living facility doesn't have a brand platform with a foundation based on the good you're doing in the community, you're missing the mark. The solution isn't 'attend more job fairs.' It's 'build a strong, strategic marketing plan with the goal of increasing perception of your brand.'
A research project by Corporate Reputation Magazine surveyed more than 1,000 unemployed job seekers. They were asked about whether they would accept a job with a company that had a bad reputation. As a result, of those who responded, 86% of women and 67% of men stated they would not join a company with a bad reputation. Don't be that company. Be the good.
2. Make Your Nurses Your Biggest Cheerleaders
Your nurses and staff have more influence than you realize. Word of mouth is a vital component of your senior living or hospital brand reputation.
Many nurses in your area have trained or worked together at another facility and therefore have formed a trusted community and value each other's opinions. This especially applies when it comes to options of future employment. If your current nurses aren't talking positively about your hospital or senior living organization, it can harm your reputation with potential nurses—not to mention with potential patients.
Build a culture of empowerment. Ensure there is a sufficient amount of clarity, vision and recognition provided by leadership. Consequently, it's amazing how full your bucket can become when you focus on eliminating the leaks.
3. Tell Your Nursing Stories
Nurses tend to choose that career based on a sense of purpose, hence they're having an impact on their community, one patient at a time. It's oftentimes a thankless position with long hours, stressful situations and average compensation. And, they know this.
That's why, when choosing a place of employment, many nurses are simply looking for workplace satisfaction. Likewise, they want to know that their senior living or hospital system has a commitment to both its patients and employees. So show them.
Tell stories of nurses having an impact on patients and the organization as a whole. And, on top of that, give potential employees a peek into what it's like to work for your hospital. Encourage nurses to connect with your hospital, or senior living organization, in a meaningful, emotional and actionable way.
There are so many different approaches to nurse recruitment and these, certainly, are just a few thought starters. But most noteworthy is that strong recruitment requires a strong brand.
From completely overhauling a brand, to slight tweaks that enhance a recruitment campaign, we've worked with countless hospitals and senior living facilities over the years. And, as a result, strengthened their nurse recruitment programs.
If you're in the midst of finding a solution to better nurse recruitment, feel free to reach out and let us know if you'd like to pick our brains! We'd love to talk!

Study Abroad Series: 42 Thai students
When I studied in Italy, there were only 2 Thai students including me in the university. In Sweden there were more! There were 5 Thai students including me!
I knew them after arrival in Sweden for about 2 weeks and three of them graduated before me. One of them told me that he saw me since the first day that I arrived. He was not sure that I was Thai. So instead of talking to me, he talked to other Thai guys very loudly in Thai language. He thought I would have talked to him if I had been understood Thai language. Well, I did not hear what they were talking even a bit.
Thai students here had dinners together almost everyday. All of us were male except me; I could not believe that their cooking skills were much better than me. I learned a lot from them. They could cook some Thai foods that I had thought it was difficult to cook such as Som Tum, Tom Yum (Thai hot and sour soup), Kaeng som (Thai sour soup), and Khao Man Gai (Thai version of Hainanese chicken rice). Not only Thai foods, we also made pizza, and hamburger.
We always tried cooking a new dish. My friend told me that it was like a group assignment that students worked together and received the same grade. We cooked together, and we had to eat it together even if it was not delicious…haha
One more reason that we always cooked was the university canteen opened only lunch time and only Monday to Friday. And the price also was not cheap. I ate at canteen only once during studying there.
Honestly I, many times, did miss the mensa (or canteen) at FUB. The canteen that my friends and I always complained about the taste of the foods there!

Further Details
Pinot Blanc is part of a large and disparate family of grapes related to the famous Pinot Noir.
You don't hear all that much about it, because the white wines it makes are generally eclipsed by those of its more aromatic, zesty and ubiquitous cousin Pinot Grigio. Nonetheless, the delicate floral and white fruit aromas and soft balance of a young Pinot Blanc shouldn't be overlooked. The Meyers vinify theirs in temperature controlled tanks, using native yeasts, and the result is a supple and delicious white wine well suited to simple flavours including local specialities such as tarte flambée and choucroute dishes, not to mention a wide range of white meat and poultry recipes, salads and picnic fare.

Digital content strategy has exploded onto the scene as an important focal point for comms and marketing experts alike. Digital strategists have become increasingly savvy when it comes to understanding their audience in the online space, and perhaps more importantly, serving up content the user actually wants to engage with.
There are some competitive advantages that can be gained if a content strategy is correctly executed:
- Supporting SEO efforts and lead scoring – good content will receive more hits, and therefore increase your likelihood of achieving more leads.
- Lead nurturing – it helps you to make the most of the leads that you do get, and nurture these into conversions.
- Risk mitigation – Reduce the risk of losing valuable visitors by having a well thought out content strategy.
- Engagement - actually capturing, and cultivating an audience based on key demographics.
- Ongoing assessment - ability to evaluate the success and failure of certain campaigns and adjust future campaigns accordingly.
These five steps provide a framework for a basic content strategy, and will work best for sites that have stale content that hasn't been assessed for 6 months or more, or sites that are being rebuilt in the next 3 months.
Step one: Complete a content audit – spreadsheets are fun (and useful)
If you have an existing site, start with assessing the current state of your content. Begin with a spreadsheet, and use this to itemise each URL on your website (think of it as a sitemap on steroids). Looking at an overall snapshot of the site will allow you to pinpoint patterns that reflect content issues.
A good content strategy should include goals and/or metrics in order to measure impact and strategy success. Completing a regular content audit will allow your organisation to solidify branding and market position within a given industry.
Columns could include:
The Page title - does it reflect the page's information accurately?
The URL - is it SEO-friendly?
Content fit and UX consideration – will the user look for this page here? (e.g. if your "make a booking" is buried under "about us" consider moving it).
Popularity – How many page views has it had for the last 1-2 years and what is the bounce rate like?
SEO – Is there a meta description for every page?
Updates – How relevant is the page and when was it last updated?
Audience – who will actually visit this page? Is the tone correct?
Key messages/call to action – What are the key messages for this page?
External/internal links and downloads – Does this page link to other pages – if so, what pages does it link to?
Content editor – who is responsible for keeping the page up-to-date?
Content status – keep, delete, revise, planned, etc.
Duplicate content – is this content duplicated anywhere else on the site?
Assessment or rating – what do you think about it? The tone is off, the terms are out of date? If you are consistent in your naming of the issues, you can track the common issues and address them together
There may be additional columns specifically related to your organisation that need to be added, the above is not an exclusive list, so feel free to add/remove what is relevant.
Action point: Create a spreadsheet to assess your content.
What do I do with the audit once it's done?
2. Consider your audience – then write and structure your content to suit
Most organisations already have a good handle on who they want to target and when, and one of the key advantages of the digital space is that you can use various metric tools, to determine the success of that targeting. Use your Google analytics to assess your most visited pages. Are these pages front and centre? Are they easy to find? When the user does locate the information they are looking for, do they immediately leave, or do they spend a bit of time on the page?
Additionally, consider your tone. If you are targeting health professionals, are you using appropriate jargon that is both professional and approachable? Maybe your audience is youth aged 15-25. This would require a totally different communication strategy.
Action point: Write or edit your content to suit your audience.
3. Have an editing process in place
Your brand can easily be compromised by poor grammar and spelling. A comprehensive editing process needs to include an editor who checks for clarity as well as grammar, spelling and tone:
If your organisation does not have a team member dedicated to this cause, create an editing checklist and ask a competent colleague to review your work before posting to the live website. An advantage of the digital space is that you can update the content at any time, but it can be time-consuming, so we would recommend perfecting it offline prior to upload.
And now, the basics of editing:
- Check article facts (time, dates, numbers, general industry information, individual and place names).
- Check grammar (use of contractions, Americanisations, conjunctions and syntax).
- Check spelling (a UK English spellcheck in conjunction with a thorough read over should do the trick here
- Check clarity (remove superfluous adjectives, check for verbose language, i.e. is the message clear?).
- Check tone (does the tone appeal to who you want to speak to).
- Check against your organisation's communications policy – (have you called your stakeholders "sufferers" when they are really "patients" for example).
Action point: Rope in some editors and train them.
4. Develop clear user pathways
Facilitate the user experience by creating clear pathways to help the user get to where they want to go, and more importantly, where you want them to go!
Start with:
- Have small marketing initiatives supported throughout the site (e.g. Social media icons present on every page, newsletter sign-up always present, login and search functions need to be always present to allow quick and easy navigation).
- Create clear calls to action with obvious wording on a big button e.g.
Good = "take the test now!" vs
Bad = "Risk assessment tool"
- If you have a shop, this should be front and centre
- Allow users to have their own prospective pages
- This is last step is important if you have a lot of downloadable resources. Consider an area for forms and resources. Simply creating hyperlinks within the text that link to important documents does not mean the user will find them – have them located in more than one possible user path to decrease user frustration.
Handy tip: Less is more when it comes to words on a page. Get creative and use iconography and images to help communicate key messages. Use the F pattern method.
Action point: get your web team together to discuss clear user pathways and key calls to action.
5. Engagement is key – what can we do differently?
Users are engaged by interesting content. That means, they are more likely to interact with your content if it adds value.
For example, videos and images are more interesting than pages of text. Colour and cool designs are more interesting than pages of text.
To think outside the square, consider info graphics, or other visual elements to enhance the user experience and make it as interesting as possible, without being overwhelming. This means, like your writing, it should simply and easily convey your message without bombarding the user with visual stimuli.
Action point: Look at boring content and consider how this could be improved.
With the above tips as a starting point, you're now ready to strategise. And not just any kind of strategise, but the good kind. The content kind. The spreadsheet will work wonders in terms of starting the process, use it as the catalyst for creating truly mind-blowing content that will wow your customers and colleagues alike.
Top content strategy dos and don'ts
- Do update the look of your site regularly to support your content
- Don't duplicate content across multiple pages
- Do carry out content audits every six months
- Don't allow content editing rights to everyone at your organisation

France's intellectuals have gone to war against the government. Jennifer Wallace reports.
If you ask any wistful romantic about his image of the French intellectual, he will probably paint you a picture of black-roll-necked philosophers sitting in cafes, smoking, arguing and earnestly solving the world's problems.
But in today's money-oriented world, the days of Dreyfus, Sartre and 1968 seem long since gone. So it was with a mixture of relief and surprise for anyone involved in French cultural life that on February 18 Les Inrockuptibles , a music and politics magazine, published a petition denouncing the government's " guerre contre l'intelligence ". "This is the first time for years that people who do not belong to the image-selling market but who are just intellectual workers have started something," says the feminist philosopher Hélène Cixous. "It is spring, you know. Something completely new is happening."
The petition has collected, in just over two weeks, more than 70,000 signatures. It aims to offer an "analysis of the situation we are now in", says its organiser, Sylvain Bourmeau, and to expose the government's overall strategy to commercialise and regulate intellectual thought.
The dispute began last summer with actors. The government changed the regulations whereby actors were supported financially, whether or not they were working. Under the new policy, actors in permanent positions (in television) will be supported while actors who work intermittently, " les intermittants ", will be paid only for the periods they work. The proposal marks an end to state-subsidised theatre. In the past, " les auteurs anglais ", such as Edward Bond, Samuel Beckett and Sarah Kane, came to Paris because there was money and no need to make a profit, says Samuel Churin, the chief spokesman for les intermittants .
Churin says that politicians are "proud of their theatre and their cinema and their festivals" but, at the same time, they tell the actors that they are overprivileged compared with the rest of Europe. "Why are there no festivals in Europe?" Churin asks. Because there, he says, actors are obliged to "wash up and so on and not simply to work at their profession".
A series of strikes and a hard-hitting speech by a prominent actress at the Césars (France's equivalent of the Oscars) have forced the government to consider renegotiating the regulations.
The politicians' focus then shifted to scientific researchers, who have seen their budget cut and then frozen at the 2002 level and have suffered the loss of 550 first lectureship jobs. In effect, the researchers say, the government is aiming to phase out "fundamental research" and encourage only commercially funded applied research. So they formed the group Sauvons la Recherche at the end of December and have drawn up a petition with about 55,000 signatures.
On Tuesday, more than 2,000 senior researchers resigned their administrative posts after the government failed to meet their three demands - to release the money frozen since 2002, to restore the posts and to set up an inquiry, or " assise ", of research policy. The aim is to stop all research in the country. Weeks of protest activity preceded the mass resignation. During a demonstration last Wednesday, for example, departments in Hôpital Necker and the Institut Pasteur changed the name of the local Métro station from Pasteur (the great French scientist) to La Rage (anger).
Surprisingly, the scientists argue that the US has understood the value of pure research and funded it properly. "Why do companies go to the US? Because the universities there are doing basic research," says Bernard Dujon, who heads the genetics of microbes department at the Institut Pasteur.
He says France is thinking only in the short term in seeking commercially profitable results. "How can you make a discovery without a team? For a team you need to have an intellectual background, a number of students and postdocs over a long time, and this creates the environment where you can have a discovery. You can't build a team like this in a day," Dujon says.
"This country has a brilliant history," Dujon adds. "It started chemistry.
It discovered radioactivity. Microbiology largely started in Paris. But if something is not done now, most of the labs in some fields will be closed in five years."
These large disputes have been joined by a range of others: psychotherapists squabbling over regulations; film-makers protesting against harsher classification laws; doctors exposing the appalling lack of funding for public health. It is a strange alliance, " un moment du graçe ", the sociologist Luc Boltanski tells me, between the very disparate groups and between the two traditions of the left - the interventionists and the libertarians. Bourmeau has certainly brought off a huge feat in coordinating all these groups. But what does it mean? Is this a new dawn for the committed Parisian intellectual?
"No," says Alain Fischer, head of the unit that researches genetic diseases of the immune system at the Hôpital Necker. "These are very practical questions that are being addressed. We don't want a revolution."
Churin objects to the term "intellectual". He feels that postal workers and train drivers, both of whom are threatened with privatisation, are suffering from the same pressure as he is. So for him the petition is not about intelligence but about the "basic social rights of each citizen".
But Catherine Breillat, maker of what are described as "art-house sex movies" such as the controversial Baise-Moi and Romance , welcomes the term "revolution". In her home in a converted warehouse, she explains how watching sex in films is intellectual and fundamentally democratic. "If you have no intelligence, and if you have a society that has no care for the past, for artistes, for research, I think that it is a fascist society. Art should be for everybody, not just for families or the popular consensus."
She adds that by refusing to conform, artistes disturb the status quo and keep people thinking.
Breillat says France is going through a "puritan" and "stupid" phase, in which the strictest film classification - previously 16 - is being changed to 18. "Five years ago when I opened Romance , it looked like the beginning of the 'libertie de l'esprit' . But two years and then you have the beginning of a strong, fascist, politically correct movement."
The problem is that "intellectual" has become a debased term in France.
"The word 'intellectual' has been totally corrupted," Cixous says. There are people, she notes, such as the ubiquitous Bernard-Henri Levy, who "market intelligence" without having any substantial body of work behind them. "They are pseudo-philosophers," she says. "It as if there are a dominant party, occupying the whole stage." Cixous, the philosopher Jacques Derrida and theatre director Ariane Mnouchkine have consequently rather withdrawn from the scene.
The problem of the pseudo-intellectual, obsessed with television image, goes even wider and deeper, Bourmeau says. I meet him, exhausted and excited, between deadlines in the chaotic warehouse that is the Inrockuptibles office. French politics, he says, is based on television image and not about real debate in France. And so the analysis of politics and the probing of debate is not very intelligent or rigorous either. "You must understand that politics is an art form in France," he says. "And political journalists are the art critics."
Boltanski agrees. "As the space of the intellectual becomes weaker, the space in which you must make your reputation is the space of the media," he muses. There is no equivalent in France of the Times Literary Supplement .
So there is arguably nowhere for academics to analyse intellectual ideas.
"Intellectuals are less and less capable of having a democratic debate about their role. There is a space for display as an intellectual, but there is no real democratic space in France," Boltanski says.
But Elizabeth Roudinesco rejects that view. She is a leading historian of psychoanalysis in France, originally a close confidante of Jacques Lacan and now a major thinker on the left. "Intellectuals have always had an important role. But from time to time, the press says there are no longer intellectuals. It's always the same. The right continually say that the intellectuals have disappeared and are no longer protesting. But as soon as there is a crisis they appear." She says that since universities have lost the power they once had, television is now the main, or even the only, place to make an impact and intellectuals cannot avoid it.
So might this movement develop into a full-scale revolution? "If a lot of students feel that they are involved and if they mobilise, then it will become something. But they are so desperate for position, so individualistic, that I am sceptical," Boltanski says.
But Dujon, who takes the long, historical view, is prepared to entertain the concept. He points out that all revolutions in France started in March.
"1968 started in March. The communes de Paris started in March 1771. So possibly this March may be another March."

Flared Legging Zebra Black
I LOVE YOGAService by heart
Ordered before 4:00 PMShipped the same day
Worldwide deliveryWherever you are
Sign up for our newsletterAnd be the first to know about our offers
This pair of original bootleg leggings comes in a black zebra print with a slight flare starting just by the knee. Our yoga flares are perfect to stretch in as the high quality cotton lycra moves and bends with your body. No more needing to worry about your leggings getting baggy at the bum or knees, their 4 way stretch means that they hug your figure at all times.
Made from the highest quality 90% cotton and 10% lycra in fair trade conditions in Bali, Indonesia. These black zebra bootleg leggings flatter every figure.
90% katoen/10% lycra
Funky Simplicity uses only 90% cotton with 10% lycra material from Indonesia for all our leggings and most tops.
Sanne, the creator and motor of Funky Simplicity, discovered this high quality soft yet strong cotton lycra in Bali in 1994 and fell in love with it - and with Bali & its special people at the same time. She got a pair of leggings made for herself (super low-waisted and with big flares at that time!) and realised that this was the material she wants to wear, always!

Hi traders,
the USD/JPY broke below the support (dotted blue) of the uptrend channel, which thereby ends the uptrend and indicates the start of potential larger bearish correction.
The previous USD/JPY wave outlook was invalidated with the bearish breakout. The wave pattern has therefore been changed and now the wave 1 (purple) has been placed on the most current top. The current pullback could be a wave 2 (purple) and price could fall towards the Fibonacci retracement levels of wave 2 vs 1.
The USD/JPY bearish breakout is showing strong impulsive price action. An extension of the momentum towards the Fibonacci targets of wave 3 vs 1 is possible. A light pullback could also take place before price continues lower within the wave C (pink) of the zigzag.

This study looks at the role that symptoms associated with depression can have on an individual's ability to find a job, or remain in employment. We also explore the evidence around which interventions and support might improve employment outcomes for people experiencing these symptoms, and make a series of recommendations about we might enhance employment outcomes for this group.
Young people on or about to start the work experience placement of a supported internship, or traineeship with a disability or health condition, can apply to the Department for Work and Pensions' Access to Work fund. Young people can apply for: * funding of travel (providing assistance for additional travel costs to and from their work experience placement because of their disability); * the costs of support workers, including job coaches; and * specialist equipment for days that a young person is at the employer's premises.

I write as my maternity leave is drawing to a close. My child will start with a full-time nanny during the first full week of August, so that I have time to prepare for the start of classes in the last week of August. I am writing this while traveling to and from my first professional meeting since the birth of my child – and also the first time I've been apart from my child for more than a few hours.

Professoring while Pregnant
Long story short: I was pregnant during the fall semester, my daughter Gwendolyn was born in early December, and I am on maternity leave this semester. We're both doing very well.
I've been meaning to write this post since October, which should say something. For those who have been wondering why I haven't been writing much, this is why.
This is a fairly personal post. Those mainly interested in the development of the CS program should look for a future post on managing my maternity leave and upcoming research leaves. Continue reading

Deal Breakup on Valentine's Day – It doesn't matter if you broke up five weeks ago or five months ago, your breakup can be an emotional whirlwind on Valentine's Day. As you find yourself surrounded by couples declaring their love for each other, you're left reliving your split — and, let's be real, possibly missing your ex. But there's so much to be thankful for on Valentine's Day, even if the wounds haven't fully healed yet. All it takes to survive it is a slight shift in your mindset.
Going through a breakup may be difficult, but it is not impossible. Here's a quick guide on how to mark Valentine's Day with a broken heart or survive on Valentine's Day after a recent breakup.
Five ways to deal with Valentine's Day after a breakup:
1. Valentine's Day Is About Love, Not Your Ex.
When you're newly single, it's easy to forget that at the core, V-day is not about being in a relationship, and it's definitely not about the one you had with your ex. It's about love, in all of its forms. It might be a good idea to surround yourself with positive people on Feb. 14. That could mean a dinner date with your sister, inviting a few friends over for a movie night, or grabbing cocktails with your office bestie after work. Whoever you choose to spend it with, the point is to reinforce the idea that you don't need a significant other to give you love.
2. Pamper Yourself
All that chocolate should not go to waste. You know what is better than buying gifts for someone who doesn't appreciate you? Buying gifts for yourself. Nothing is better than lying back and enjoying some sweets…just be sure it's dark chocolate. According to WebMD, dark chocolate is not only delicious, but it has a host of health benefits, too. It can lower blood pressure and is full of antioxidants. Gift yourself the things you always wanted to be gifted with. So, while your ex may have been bad for your heart, the chocolate and those gifts you have on Valentine's Day sure isn't.
3. Do That Thing You Wanted To Do But Didn't During The Relationship
Take that cooking class you never had time for. Go to that restaurant you loved but he hated. If you're the "dance in your underwear" type like do that. It doesn't matter what you do; the idea is to get back to you. This can be done at any time, but doing it on Valentine's Day after a breakup can kick-start the healing process.
4. Make Valentine's Day A "love Me" Day
Do the things that make you happy. Treat yourself with your favourite dessert or try something you've never tasted before. Buy something for yourself: a book, DVD, or a simple-something you've wanted for a long time. Watch a movie (but avoid a romantic comedy). Treat yourself to a nice spa and get a full-body massage, or get a new haircut.
5. Re-evaluate Your Goals
Remind yourself why you are still single. Don't fall under the pressure or let someone tell you how to live your life. If you're not ready for a relationship, that's your choice.
Think of your accomplishments and where you still need to go. Being in a relationship is time and commitment, and you should be able to enjoy it when you are ready for it, not when someone tells you
So this valentine's make the most of it. Because you deserve it. And our counselors at Betterlyf would surely help you to gift yourself that precious. Self-love on this Valentine Day!

For many countries hoping to boost their profile on the world stage it might be seen as a minor coup – to be chosen as the setting for the next film by one of the world's most celebrated directors.
But this week South American politicians reacted angrily to plans for Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow's latest project, an adrenaline-filled exposé of life in the notorious triple border region between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
According to reports last year in the industry magazine Variety, the film, provisionally entitled Triple Frontier, will be an "action adventure … set in the [region's] notorious border zone".
Variety said the film would be directed by Bigelow and scripted by Mark Boal, the American journalist whose dispatches from Iraq were the inspiration for The Hurt Locker, the winner of six Academy Awards in March.
During a visit to the region on Tuesday, however, Paraguay's tourism minister, Liz Cramer, told her country's La Nación newspaper the film should receive "no support" from the government and local politicians and businesses were furious.
"How much will it cost us to clean up our image [afterwards]?" Cramer said in Ciudad del Este, a rugged border town where security guards armed with shotguns keep watch over hundreds of electronics stores filled with cheap laptops and stereos. "It would be stupid for us to support [the film]."
She added: "We are all furious because it seems like they are lacking ideas, as if there aren't sufficient themes in the world," suggesting Bigelow should instead make a film about "the 8,000 executions on the frontier with the United States".
Enrique Meyer, Argentina's tourism minister, told AFP the authorities were "deeply indignant when we discovered that this project seeks to negatively portray this region".
The border between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay is also one of South America's most visited tourist destinations. It is home to the Iguaçu Falls – one of the largest series of waterfalls on Earth – and is based around three cities, Ciudad del Este in Paraguay, Puerto Iguazú in Argentina and Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil.
The region is also a notorious base for smugglers and arms and drug traffickers. US authorities have repeatedly claimed that Ciudad del Este, which has a large Arab community, is home to groups involved in fundraising for international terrorist groups.
Brazilian and Paraguayan authorities are growing increasingly alarmed at the presence of drug traffickers along their 600 miles of shared borders.
But Brazilian responses to Triple Frontier have been more sanguine. Carlos Duso, a representative of Foz do Iguaçu's town hall, said his city was "prepared to help in any way necessary".
"It's just a film, isn't it?" he told the Brazilian news site G1. "New York has been destroyed many times in the cinema and this hasn't damaged the city's image. We have to keep an open mind."

A Holy Remnant Is Coming!
The blessings and the restoration that many are experience or sense they are about to experience is for the sake of His Kingdom!
A holy remnant is coming! His hand will be with them and protect them as He did with the Israelites in Egypt! The blood on the doorpost protected them.
"For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you," Exodus 12:23.
So be sure you have asked the Holy Spirit for remorseful repentance!
Only through His Spirit you can go through this.
I have been there myself while I suffered from cancer back in 2000.
The LORD healed me overnight from this illness but I died to self!
Something is coming and we must know the time we are living in!
I asked, "Adonai, how long?" and He answered,
"Until cities become uninhabited ruins, houses without human presence, the land utterly wasted; until Adonai drives the people far away, and the land is one vast desolation.
If even a tenth [of the people] remain, it will again be devoured.
But like a pistachio tree or an oak, whose trunk remains alive after its leaves fall off, the holy seed will be its trunk," Isaiah 6:11-13.
Blessings and Shalom over you!

When creating characters for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, we often see examples of isolated "vacuum builds," that is a character work-up that is created without regard to the rest of the party and sometimes even the campaign or setting. Skewing the design of other PCs can be exciting, but synergy with another PC can make seldom used mechanics more interesting and functional…
Party Synergy Tactics
With an established idea of what kinds of awareness we may need to create effective party synergy we can more toward more tactical implications. As we move into even the most basic interactions of core metabalance we see interaction patterns and the basic structure of party-level tactics.
Using established awareness we see the outlines of basic strategy outline:
- Basic Class Interaction: What core abilities is each character engaging? Dwarf fighter taking advantage his classes heavy armor to pair with his racial abilities? You know he will be engaging a Mitigation role. For a fighter in that role to be effective, you are going to have to allow them to get between the group and enemies. Tactical implications become clearer between members of the party.
- Expectation from and to Party Members: What is everyone bringing to the party? Advertise group buffs. Know what other party members need from you and what they expect to give you. The rogue with vicious weapons is not going to be thrilled when he learns the cleric is a negative energy specialist.
- Deviations from Expectations: What deviations from expected class roles are there? The cleric is a negative energy channeler who is going to front-line and blitz burst negative energy AoE? Great, don't count of them for healing. The mage wants to be a front-liner specializing in shocking touch delivery? OK, but what implications does that have for the party's fighter?
- Unexpected Interactions: Deviations from powers one relies on are common with archetypes and hybrid classes. Skald's ragesong is VERY different from bardic inspiration. Archetypes can add even more confusion when core abilities go missing.
- Building for More Synergy: Look at teamwork feats, spells and class options to help the reality of the party. Healer not cutting it? Ramp your Mitigation? Party missing too much and dealing low damage Outflank and Precise Strike might be your solution. Look at "systemic" improvements in addition to character specific ones.
Fear Factory Synergy: The Occultist
- Occultist – Melee Damage (Moderate, Variable)/Support (Moderate, Variable)/Debuff (Moderate, Variable)
With our established party for the Fear Factory so far being a dread, a fallen, and a direlock we should take a moment to look at the core (not-so) metabalance. We have skewed far from Healing and some Damage potential. In return we gained a large Mitigation effect (Fear) which all three party members can generation and two zones from which we can negate immunities from and penalize resistance to fear effects. Support and Healing are both lacking though if our amazing Mitigation takes, damage sources should be reduced. The party has a mild issue with ranged attacks but the direlock's spell absorption abilities should help some there. To fill in our holes and round it all out we choose suggest an spirit-binding occultist from Radiance House.
Seeing the needs present in the party, our occultist is set to take stage taking the fifth wheel theme to another level of extreme. The occultist its abilities are first and foremost variable but with encouragement and a single team work feat (Share Ability) these variable buff can be given to the party member who needs them most.
- Synergy: Bind Spirit. The tricky thing here is getting the other party members to take Ability Share. Abilities like Feast on Fear (Healing from attacks on creatures subject to fear effects) or Paranoid Chill (a nonlethal damaging attack that also adds an untyped penalty to fear effects!) can be used by the occultist or his allies.
- Fifth Wheelhouse: Bind Spirit. Again the core ability of the class provides suites of Debuff potential in nearly every spirit. These abilities can be tailored DAILY to fill in holes or help with specific threats. Kandisha's Sand Cloud or other similar abilities can shut down ranged attackers and force them to risk the party's fear zones.
- Escalation: Extra Spirit. Soon enough the occultist gains extra spirits allowing him to more free use Ability Share and more thoroughly cover the bases or commit to generating his own fear effects (Inspire Terror and Rebuke Heresy both work quite well).
Our fourth Fear Factory member fills in the gaps and helps foil major party issues, like providing healing options or blocking range attacks, while corralling the bad guys into our fear zones. All of our party have at least medium BAB (direlock can go full-BAB with their signature weapon) can exploit and generate fear-effects in some way and the combined abilities of the party can guarantee save penalties of around -6 starting at 1st level if all cylinders fire. Our four PC fear factory is in full swing, bad guys soon to be screaming through the streets fleeing us.

Pehredaar Piya Ki 16th August 2017 Written Episode Update: Diya Rescues Ratan
Pehredaar Piya Ki 16th August 2017 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
CT gives moral gyaan to Yash and says he has to become like hawk, alert and intelligent. Bhuvan enters and sends Yash out. He tells CT that her vision and intelligence is of hawk, when she told she will go late to meet thakurani/Diya, he did not realize her thinking, now he realized that nanad was standing with them, she wants to speak only for herself. He pampers that he iss fond of her thinking, gives her beetle leaves/paan and asks what is her next move. She smirks and says there is no need to talk, whatever has to happen will happen.
Bua wanders in living room tensely. Bhuvan enters. She asks if he spoke to CT. Bhuvan says she knows CT is adamant and did not deter. Bua asks what next. He asks her not to hurry, everything will be fine. Diya passes by searching Ratan's toy and hears Bhuvan and Bua's talks. Bhuvan asks Bua to enjoy drinks, poor 18-year-old girl cannot do anything, she proved many times that she is a fool, she wants to become pehredaar piya ki, let her. Diya gets disheartened hearing that.
Ratan sitting on bed thinks he did play with Diya since a long time, now he will prank her. He tries to hide under table and then hides under trunk. Milk glass falls by mitake. Diya returns to her room reminiscing Bhuvan's words, thinks she has to calm down and think wisely. She does not find Ratan and thinks where he must have gone. She calls him, he smiles hiding in trunk. She calls Phulwa maid who says daata hukum was here and she gave him milk. Diya sees milk on floor and asks Phulwa to search Ratan. She calls Ratan worriedly and goes out to seach him. Ratan thinks he should not trouble Diya much and tries to get out of trunk, but gets stuck. Diya searches him in whole house and stops hearing sound from trunk. She hears his voice and tries to open trunk with great difficulty. A bit opens and she sees him collapsing. She calls maid and asks Ratan not to worry. She gets knife and breaks hinges and removes upper lid and gets him out of trunk, makes him sleep on bed and serves him water. Ratan sees her worried, serving him and apologizes for frightening her. Diya says she was really worried and asks to pinky promise he will not again. He gives pinky promise. In the morning, Diya wakes up hurriedly at 5:55 a.m. with alarm sound and shower on her face, says she will wake up soon herself and looks at Ratan sleeping.
Mohak comes out of hotel room. Servant asks if he slept whole night here. Mohak says he was doing calculation. Servant gives him accounts book. Mohak says thakurani will see accounts and not Mohak. Mohak calls Sakshi repeatedly while she is having breakfast. She rejects call. Bua comments it is difficult for Mohak to convince her, he cannot buy car or necklace for her without Diya's sign on cheque. Sakshi asks to worry about herself first as she may not get even a penny. Mohak calls landline and asks Jhumki what is thakurani doing. She sees Diya trying to prepare choc milk for Ratan and says she is trying impossible thing, preparing milk for Ratan, he can relax in hotel. Sakshi peep next. Diya gets milk for Ratan and shows him shade card and says she will prepare whichever shade she likes. He shows shade. She prepares choc milk. He drinks and says wow Pari made same milk like kaki maasa. CT gets jealous. Ratan then feeds her sweet curd, wishes all the best and leaves. Sajjan messages her good luck and enter the battlefield bravely, think about Maan before doing anything.
Precap: Diya tells CT and others that they are elders and she wants their blessing to fulfill Maan's responsibility by handling hotel. CT stops her.
