Lice home remedies will not work, and it's all because of a pesky strain of Super Lice. Yup, just what we need to hear, there is such a thing as super lice. If you have school age children you have probably gotten the "someone was sent home for lice letter, and it made you cringe. I openly admit I am itchy just talking about these nasty little nits.
This is a sponsored post in partnership with Stratabeat, all opinions are my own.
Lice Home Remedies- They Won't Work
You can scour the internet and find tons of home remedies for lice treatment, sadly they won't work and you will not stop the lice from spreading. A new strain of super lice has come to the US and it's not slowing down.
Anyone can get lice, they have nothing to do with personal hygiene. They are a highly contagious pest, and all it takes is 1 single egg on a hat, pillowcase, hairbrush or anything that comes in contact with your scalp for an infestation to take place. They simply survive by feeding on blood from the human scalp.
What Are Super Lice?
Super Lice, is an evolved form of lice resistant to pesticides, and have turned over-the-counter lice treatments into nothing more than a waste of time. Pesticide solutions are now only effective 30% of the time. So if an actual chemical treatment isn't killing these super lice, you can be sure a mayonnaise rinse wont work.
Like regular head lice, Super Lice survive by feeding on blood from the human scalp. They lay eggs called nits on the hair shaft and begin multiplying on the scalp. Lice are most commonly found infesting preschool and elementary-aged children, as little ones tend to play closely with one another, making it easier for lice to transfer from one little head to another.
Lice- Yup Even Hair Stylists Kids Get Them
Two years ago my nephews got lice, and the ironic part is both of their parents do hair for a living. You might think they would be more aware of what lice is, but, they had never dealt with them before. It was a full blown, level 10 situation. The ENTIRE house had to be deep cleaned, heads had to be combed over and over, and treatments lasted over a week. Fortunately they were not super lice, but if they had been, well my nephews may have gotten their heads shaved. They got lucky for sure because 99.6% of lice are resistant to treatments. It was a stressful mess that's for sure.
Home Remedies Won't Work
There are tons of home remedies for lice treatment and they won't work. Sorry, but that's just the facts. I decided to look up a few of these and honestly don't know why anyone would think these would kill bugs!
1. Anise oil seems to be at the top of the home remedy list. It says they will coat and suffocate lice, sadly this won't work and you will be throwing away $15 on this "natural remedy". Plus, you will smell like black licorice after treatment 3 times a day with this oil, and who the heck wants to smell like that.
2. Vaseline is another recommended home remedy for lice, and unless you are a glutton for punishment I don't think covering a child's hair in Vaseline is a smart decision. It would take HOURS of endless combing and washing to get that greasy mess out.
3. If you have ever watched "The Office" then you will understand why people are rubbing mayo on their heads to kill lice. Just don't do it unless you want shiny hair, it won't kill lice.
4. Garlic rubbed on the scalp "keeps the pesky nits away", no it doesn't, they are not vampires, they are eggs and they will just smell like garlic coated eggs if you do this.
All of these are ridiculous, I don't know why anyone would think that these are remedies for a highly contagious, and fast spreading bug.
Chemical Treatments Are Unhealthy
We are programmed to believe that chemicals will kill lice, so much so, that there is a billion dollar industry in over the counter treatments that people rush out to buy the second they think their child has lice. While pesticide treatments used to be effective, they were never safe. Do you want to put pesticides on your skin? Pyrethroids, the most common ingredient in treatments, come with awful side effects including, burning and tingling skin, respiratory trouble, involuntary twitching, dizziness, nausea, fainting, convulsions and seizures. I don't know about you but I am not putting this on my kids.
The Best Solution For Super Lice
If you're looking for an alternative treatment that avoids pesticides and is also safe and effective, an electric lice comb such as the RobiComb® might be for you. This comb zaps live lice, stunning or killing them. They can then be combed out, along with the nits. That's right, they may be super, but they're not immune to electrocution.
You don't need to fear zapping your kids, either. The electric shock doesn't hurt you or your child, as the teeth of the comb are protected by rubber guards.
Electric combs share the same downfall as other combs, the treatment can be time-consuming depending on the severity of the infestations. However, they are more effective than a regular comb.
While Super Lice have been found in 48 states in just five years, you don't have to worry about crazy home remedies or pesticides on your children's heads with the Robicomb. It zaps lice, not kids!

The U. S. Department of Agriculture's weekly update on Iowa crops is usually strictly business and released after the grain markets close for the day. Monday's report had a bit of tongue-in-cheek message. It noted Iowa farmers had only two-days suitable for field work during the past week and says activities included "checking rain gauges and assessing flood damage." Iowa State University Agronomist, Paul Kassel, says many north and central Iowa corn and soybean fields are under water.
Once the crops die, the farmers have a decision to make.
He says if things don't dry out soon, there may not be any option to salvage any kind of crop.
Despite that extensive crop flooding, Monday's USDA update continues listing about 80 percent of Iowa's corn and soybean acreage in good-to-excellent condition.

The easy way to Story Mapping
It's a useful tool which gets the job done. You sign up, and create a board without even thinking about the functions. It's that easy. Especially after they updated the interface. Keep in mind the tool is more in the freeform category - you can place anything anywhere in a grid - it won't require you to put specific things in specific slots. The drawback of it is that while it is comfortable, it can't fully integrate with task/issue tracking tools.
While working with paper and stickies is the most quick tool to adopt, sometimes a digital one is required, as it provides certain benefits (quick editing; sharing; remote collaboration). I liked that it required zero learning for the basics. I just did the storymaps without a hitch, no wondering how I can do this or that. Of course, it provides some advanced functionality, but for the pure, basic, stickies-on-the-wall, experience, you there isn't a learning curve. Just plug and do.
The free version is said to work like the GitHub model - all boards are public. Everyone can see them and browse them. So far so good. However, unlike GitHub where you can use one of several ways to get your repository to other people (sharing a link, inviting them, telling them the name of the repo...) I didn't find any of it here. I could not share the free board to my colleagues (even for viewing). There is a workaround with exporting, which can get the job done. I understand this is their business model, but then the site should not describe it working as GitHub's public repos, as it, in practice, differs as an end result.

Good but with some hiccups
I found the software quite useful for basic storyboarding and brainstorming new projects. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the JIRA integration and the nature of the work I'm doing, it just wasn't useful for anything other than large/complicated projects that need a fair amount of planning and it could only be used in the initial stages. Once I had the list of story "slugs" it was better to manually migrate the list over to JIRA and cease using Cardboard.
I quite liked the intuitive interface and ease of storyboarding things.
The JIRA integration left something to be desired. The software did not do a good job of informing me of what it would do when I synced the two. It was also not clear to me that this was not a constant sync. Changes in one product were not automatically migrated over to the other. This was especially problematic because later syncs of the stories and epics caused duplicates of the previously synchronized items to appear because the system did not identify previously sync'd stories.

Good idea, missing features, buggy
- Bad and Good - The central idea of the board is nice - Everything around seems to have been donc in a rush - Management of teams are just a mess - The idea a public boards, not searchable, messy . .. give you just a bad image - Not intuitive (except for the cards management)
- The idea - The fact that their is not real alternative to the product (not saying it's a good product, just not worst than competition) - Easy to use and simple - The journey feature
- Buggy - The pricing model - Missing at least a crucial features: descent printing (what do you think teams do with a Story Map) - When you move things cards do not reorganized as expected and we end to have to move many cards across the screen. I should not be forced to think in advance what to enter first to avoid delating and moving things around after.

Cardboard Roadmaps
Great for presenting road maps for the future for people in all levels of companies.
I liked that there was a free trial for the product. When it comes to project planning, mapping, solutions, and tracking, it's hard to find a program with ALL the bells and whistles so the free trial is helpful. The product can be deployed on mac, windows, apple, and android which is important due to employees having different devices.
It didn't include a lot of the features that we needed when it comes to project solutions. Also need to make sure you have enough licensing.

I stumbled upon CardBoard a long time ago (2011) when I wanted an easy way to capture a Story Map. I really liked how easy it was to drop cards, move them around, and add some comments. The Team really enjoyed the look and feel of it. It did what we wanted and nothing more. I'm not a heavy user of it, but when I do need to put together a Story Map, CardBoard is what I turn to.
The simplicity of the tool, it provided me with what I wanted and did not over complicate it with features I did not need.
The export to excel option was pretty messy, but then again why export it? What I wanted was a way to capture the full board visually to put into a document or communication, to show the overall Story Map (which I could not get in screen shots) I realize I could provide a link to the board for people to access and see the actual Map, but sometimes you just want a picture of it to support a communication.

Sir Richard Branson, Chairman, Virgin Group, Ltd. Case Study
December 1, 2012
Sir Richard Branson is the chairman and founder of the Virgin Group. The Virgin Group is a multibillion-dollar global conglomerate that consists of approximately 200 companies in various countries. The company has approximately 50,000 employees and over $20 billion in sales annually (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). Sir Branson is a true visionary and inspiring leader willing to take risk, but has experienced his share of setbacks. He gladly admits his mistakes, but views them all as a learning experience. Sir Branson feels his success is in the people he employees and their mutual desire to please the customers and the stockholders of the organization. Branson's leadership style
Sir Richard Branson's leadership style reminds me of transformational leadership. This type of leader anticipates future trends, develops future leaders, inspires others of their future possibilities and builds an organization or group into a community of challenged and rewarded learners (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011). Transformational leaders are mindful of future trends and how they will relate to the environment, the organization and stockholders. This form of leadership style consists of four components which are individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and idealized influence. Individualized consideration is when the leader acts as a mentor or coach, listens to the employees concerns and attending to their needs. Employees are encouraged to have open communication with the leader. For example, Branson goes to various locations within the organization with his pen and notebook to make sure he is keeping track of any issues that need immediate action concerning staff and customers. He also maintains an open door policy for employees to send emails concerning any issues they are experiencing. He reads his messages first thing every morning and takes action to resolve the issues. Intellectual Stimulation is the ideas and risk the leader is willing to take by thinking outside the box. The leader encourages new ideas and more creative ways of doing things. This type of leader feels that risk taking is necessary for an organization's success. For example, Branson tried to compete against Coca-Cola by selling Virgin Cola in the United Kingdom. But Coca-Cola sent a SWAT team to systematically sabotage Virgin Cola. Virgin Cola was not the success Branson had hoped for in the United Kingdom, but did become the number one cola in Bangladesh. Sir Branson feels one should never be afraid to try something new and if you experience setbacks you get up dust yourself off and try again. Inspirational motivation is when employees are aspired with new visionary ideas. The leader challenges and motivates staff to strive for excellence in every aspect of the organization. Branson is a firm believer that his company would not have grown to the conglomerate it is without the employees. He prides himself in recruiting employees with strong communications skills and is good motivators and team players. His executives strive to inspire their employees to devote the attention to serving the customer and stockholders. With idealized influence, the leader exhibit charismatic ways to influence employees to identify with him or her. Usually there is a great deal of respect and admiration for the leader. The leader makes it a point to connect with employees to build trust and influence employees to perform well by giving incentives and rewards. For example, Branson believes in hard work and dedication in employees he is a firm believer in promoting within the organization. Sir Branson also exhibits authentic leadership as a person who know themselves, what they believe and value and believes in open and honest communication in their staff...

They're also a great, kid-friendly option for a quick dinner on busy nights, and they can be customized to your heart's delight.
For the flatbread, check out the bakery section of your neighborhood Brookshire Brothers. I use Stonefire Tandoori Naan flatbreads for the pizza crust, but any kind of pita flatbread would work. For little pizzas, look for the smaller-sized flatbread or just cut the regular-sized bread into bite-sized pieces. Kick up the nutritional value another notch by using naan that's whole wheat!

Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese BBQ Flatbread Pizza
Naan, Pita, or any other flatbread in desired size

Shredded cheese (I use cheddar)

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Vendors working on battery safety
A NEW STANDARD for making safer lithium-ion batteries will be published by June next year in an effort to avoid a repeat of the overheating problems that have plagued Sony's lithium-ion batteries this year.
Industry body the Association Connecting Electronics Industries — known as IPC — said it had set a date of June 15, 2007, for the standard to be finalised and has created a subcommittee made up of leading notebook and battery manufacturers to draw it up.
"We had a very productive, collaborative meeting with all the members of the committee dedicated to rapid development and deployment of the standard," said Anthony Corkell, quality and standard executive at Lenovo and chairman of the committee. "We have established a publication date of June 15, 2007 for the standard. It is an aggressive date but I am confident that the subcommittee and the industry working together can meet the deadline."
The standard will cover "process requirements, quality control and assurance" for form factors of rechargeable lithiumion battery cells, including prismatic, cylindrical and pouch.
The IPC Lithium Ion Battery Subcommittee was established in September following the recall of around six million of Sony's battery packs by Dell and Apple because of incidents where the packs had overheated and caused the vendors' notebooks to catch fire.
Other notebook makers such as Lenovo, Toshiba and Sony itself soon followed suit and the current number of packs needing to be replaced now stands at close to ten million.
The Lithium Ion Battery Subcommittee is part of the IPC OEM Critical Components Council. This council is engaged in the standardisation of a number of components used in the computer and telecommunications industry including air movement and power conversion devices.
In the latest incident involving one of Sony's faulty battery packs, Fujitsu confirmed last month that one of its notebooks running on a Sony-made battery caused minor burns to the hands of its user when it overheated and sparked.
Fujitsu, which is recalling over 300,000 packs, said this was the first time any incident like this had happened.

Altair has tremendous breadth of experience and credibility on the consulting side of the business, having focused on engineering services in addition to software development since its inception in 1985. Altair ProductDesign puts cutting-edge simulation expertise to work for global customers across the entire lifecycle of product development, including industrial design, workflow automation, and staffing services. By 2012, Altair ProductDesign staff had grown to over 700 strong with 400 in the Americas, 140 in Europe and 200 in Asia, and it continues to expand.
Use of simulation tools at the front end of the design process has been extremely limited historically. Computer aided design (CAD) happened ahead of computer aided engineering (CAE). Once the geometry was created it would be tested for desired performance characteristics. Shortcomings would trigger the need for a re-design and start a cycle of design iterations and trade-offs until a satisfactory execution could be achieved. This was often a process of trial and error, could be very time consuming, and did not always result in optimal product outcomes.
Altair ProductDesign's mantra is simulation driven design leveraging the proprietary Altair HyperWorks® simulation suite to deliver innovative, structurally efficient design solutions. These solutions must meet or exceed exacting technical and performance specifications and are typically required within a very constrained timeframe. Deploying CAD and CAE in parallel enables significant gains in terms of achieving the optimum design solution. Moreover, employing simulation early increases the flexibility of the product development team by reducing the number of design iterations and thereby shortening time-to-market.
Having both consulting and software development in-house at Altair is somewhat unique. Challenging onsite customer engagements influence the development and feature set of HyperWorks, strengthening our consulting acumen while simultaneously affording the opportunity to refine our software. Altair ProductDesign boasts a portfolio of significant and meaningful projects crossing multiple industry verticals for both commercial and public sector customers. More than anything, the illustrated success of our customers demonstrates Altair's commitment to pushing the technological envelope and building innovation intelligence.

Challenge #189: Circular menus for a choose-your-own-adventure module
I didn't create something new for this challenge, but I'm sharing an example from an orientation module I created in a "choose-your-own adventure" style, which gives the user the opportunity to provide their name, pick an avatar, and have a degree of control over the responses their avatar gives to other characters.
I've used a circular style menu to display the possible responses, and each one leads to a different branching scenario.
In the interest of brevity, I've extracted just the first interaction for this example, and sped up the text a little to get to the buttons faster.
You can view the example here, or download the Storyline 360 file below.
As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy :)

Where did you get your characters from?

Hi Karen, thanks for downloading!
The main slide is blank because the content is all on layers- are the layers blank as well?

Hi Kristy,
The characters and other images were taken directly from within the Content Library that comes packaged with Storyline 360 :)
I love this. I wish I could make sense of some of the triggers and variables to make it work for my scenario. Inspirational!
Thank you for sharing, this template is pretty cool!
Thank you for sharing this Lj!
If I wanted to enable the other characters for the user to select, or add more locations to the map for offices where an individual is located - what would be the best way to use this course in a branching manner? through use of layers or different slides? Just trying to understand the best way to continue with this template you have shared. I love what you have so far!

Where Work Gets Done
"Sign on the dotted line." It's a relatively harmless expression, right? Simple and to the point. To an entrepreneur or
To an entrepreneur or founder, it means so much more than merely putting ink on paper. Leasing proper office space can be a significant milestone for a startup. Whether you have secured a closet-sized room in the back of a laundromat or you recently leased 10,000 square feet of prime real estate in the trendiest office loft space in the city, office space can be cause for celebration. When is it the right time to move from your parents' garage into an actual office? What amenities should be included? These questions will be answered. Here are four quick tips for choosing where to work, when to lease and how to choose your workspace.
Here are four quick tips for choosing where to work, when to lease and how to choose your workspace.
#1: Separation of work and home. Achieve this as fast as possible.
Early days as a startup are far from glamorous. If you are lucky, you start with some funding that can afford you the opportunity for luxuries like an office, proper office furniture and even an office administrator. Realistically, you are part of the vast majority that cannot afford these luxuries and you are relegated to kickstart your business from the following locations: your home, your parent's home, the local coffee shop or even the local library.
The cost of an affordable office space should be your first revenue goal. The separation of home and work is essential. You will focus much better without the distractions. Most importantly, it will force you to start acting like you are running a real business.
"We started TaskUs from the guest bedroom of my parents' house. We set up a card table, Jaspar and myself on either side, and went to work. The clear advantage of this space was that it was free. As a self-funded (aka no funded) startup, this was not just nice. It was essential. It even came with free WiFi (thank you, Mom and Dad!). The downside was that we could not take client meetings, hire interns or employees from this space. It was a great launching pad, but we used all of our initial revenue to move into an office. That office was a simple $800 per month room by the Santa Monica Airport. Simple, but also necessary." - Bryce Maddock, CEO at TaskUs
#2: Create a work environment that encourages creativity, but go easy on the toys.
Remember, you're not Google... yet. Designing a workplace equipped with slides, plasma screens and more arcade games than the local arcade can be incredibly fun, but deadly to your office productivity. Many startups invest in lavish office amenities in an attempt to lure the brightest employees.
This is a common mistake.
Job seekers are well aware that startups have a marginal success rate. Working at a "cool office" can be a nice perk, but your employees will ultimately appreciate company culture and opportunities for personal career growth much more. Focus on fun team building activities, keeping the fridge stocked and continuous office improvement. Leave the pinball machines, pool tables and other gaming equipment for when your company goes public and you decide to build an office campus.
"Have your team work from the office to foster collaboration. Host drinks, dinners, poker games and movie nights to network with the community. Open your office up to other people to work from. Get every last drop of utility out of your rental dollars." - Bryce Maddock, CEO at TaskUs
#3: Remember, it's not just an office. It's also your recruitment center.
Proper office space is an essential part of your company's progression. Your clients will understand that you are an early-stage company that cannot afford Class A office space yet. Leasing office space will provide immediate legitimacy and help ease any concerns that you are not a real business. Despite incredible advances in technology, location is still incredibly important. Even if your business is solely located on the web, it can be quite beneficial to be headquartered in tech hotspots like Silicon Beach, Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley. Leasing an entire office space might be outside of your budget. Get creative. Check out co-working startup offices like Coloft or launchpads. They provide immediate communities that will help get your business off the ground.
"In the early days of TaskUs, we would always try to keep our interactions with our clients strictly on the phone. For starters, we probably looked ten years younger than we actually were. Also, we were working out of our parents' homes. When clients would ask where our office was, we would conveniently change the subject and push to meet them at their office or somewhere else. Finally, leasing office space was not just convenient, it was necessary." - Jaspar Weir, President at TaskUs
#4: Limit Your Risk. Don't sign anything unless you absolutely have to.
The current real estate market has brought considerable leverage to the leasee. The lessened importance of phone lines, physical connections to broadband internet and massive server storage rooms have made unconventional office spaces possible. Don't commit to a long term lease or pay a huge security deposit if you can avoid to. Explore every opportunity and don't be afraid to make an offer on any space or property. The price tag might read $10,000 per month, but a motivated lessor could settle for much less if the price works. As an entrepreneur, you are well-versed at finding alternative solutions. Real estate should be no different. Avoid conventional real estate practices and commit to the right leasing opportunity for your business.
"Moving into an office is a big step. The three rules for success are: 1) Do not move into an office until you have to move into an office. You have to move into an office when you have more than a couple employees, unpaid interns or you are hosting lots of client meetings. You, your partner and your dog do not need an office simply because you are tired of sleeping and working in the same place. If you are doing a startup the right way, let's face it, you shouldn't be sleeping much anyway. 2) Do not sign a lease, ever...if possible. When you have to rent an office, rent a month-to-month office, or even rent a desk at a co-working space. This way you can move back into your house when you run low on cash in a month or two. 3) Use your office! When you finally rent your own office, get full use out of it." - Bryce Maddock, CEO at TaskUs
Many founders wax poetically as they look back fondly on their early days. Selling all of their possessions to fund necessary technology purchases, living off of Cup-of-Noodles and asking their parents to turn down the television when they are on an important client call can be quite frustrating. Use these daily annoyances as motivation for driving your company to the point where you can afford office space. When the time comes, make smart decisions that will result in securing a great work environment for you and your employees.

St. Patrick's Day isn't the busiest bar holiday of the year—the night before Thanksgiving holds that title. New Year's Eve, the Super Bowl and Valentine's Day are also busier.
Based on the OPUS survey conducted by Nielsen CGA of 15,000 on-premise guests, one-third of U.S. consumers visit a bar or restaurant on St. Patrick's Day. Again, it isn't the busiest day of the year for bar and restaurant operators, but Nielsen CGA has revealed that St. Patrick's Day is the highest grossing day of the year for bars and restaurants in the United States.
Beer sales shot up +174 percent on St. Patrick's Day last year when compared to average daily performance throughout the year. Spirits sales were nearly as good, reaching +153 percent. The holiday fell on a Saturday in 2018 and falls on a Sunday this year. However, Matt Crompton, client solution director at Nielsen CGA, feels that operators should be optimistic and plan for the holiday to span the entire weekend.
"Given that St. Patrick's Day will again fall on a weekend, on-premise retailers will be hoping for similar footfall and spend," Crompton said. "In 2018, Saturday 17th delivered the greatest uplifts with average value sales for beer +36% vs. the previous Saturday, with stout beers increasing a massive +355 percent. That said, despite being on a Sunday this year, the industry has every right to be optimistic that celebrations will stretch across the whole weekend."
Read this: 21 Restaurant Marketing Strategies To Increase Sales
Not surprisingly, Chicago and Boston saw the highest grossing beer sales on St. Patrick's Day last year. In Chicago, beer sales rose to +221 percent versus +36 percent total U.S. sales. Stout in particular performed incredibly well in both Chicago and Boston, rocketing to +688 percent and +355 percent respectively compared to the previous week. Following first place Chicago and second place Boston, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and New York filled out the top 5 major St. Patrick's Day cities.
The major cities where sales were much lower on St. Patrick's Day in 2018 in contrast? Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, Houston and Tampa. In fact, velocity was down in Dallas and Tampa compared to the previous week.
Nielsen CGA did more than track sales and identify the highest- and lowest-grossing major St. Patrick's Day markets. Also revealed through their data are growth opportunities for the holiday. If you're guessing that happy hour is the most valuable day part for beer during St. Patrick's Day weekend, you're correct. As many a bar and restaurant operator is aware, guests tend to visit bars and restaurants earlier in the day than usual on the holiday. Last year, beer saw an uplift of +122 percent from the 3:00-5:00 P.M. (afternoon) daypart and a boost of 12 percent vs. the previous Saturday.
Read this: 3 Talented Women Share Their Bar Business Insights
However, it's the 9:00-11:00 A.M. (brunch) daypart that showed the strongest growth in 2018. The entire St. Patrick's Day weekend saw positive beer sales growth last year. But it was the brunch daypart on the holiday itself that saw meteoric uplift last year: +1,465 percent. Surely, this is a daypart to focus on as an operator. Happy hour, evening and late night are important, but it's brunch that may truly represent a growth opportunity for operators to stack their tills with the proverbial pot of gold.
Beer value saw a boost of +20 percent vs. the previous weekend during the holiday in 2018. Pubs and bars saw a significant uplift over their dining location counterparts: +57 percent vs. +7 percent. And stout (+141%), domestic premium (+80%) and import beers (52%), along with cider (+46%), all saw positive sales growth during the holiday last year compared to the previous weekend.
It isn't only beer that performs well on St. Patrick's Day, as Nielsen CGA data has revealed. Another growth opportunity is Irish whiskey, the fastest-growing type of whiskey on-premise. The category has reached a worth nearly $2.1B over the past 52 weeks, representing a growth rate of 5.9 percent. In March of 2018, Irish whiskey saw value sales of $190M.
Read this: This New Marketing Strategy Will Pack Your Bar with Little Effort or Money
"Our analysis of 2018's St. Patrick's Day performance shows that it isn't just beer that wins, other categories have ample opportunity to win with consumers, too," said Crompton. "For many, the key is to activate at the right time of day, with the right type of offering. In an age where experience is key, many consumers look to calendar moments (such as St. Patrick's Day) to visit the trade."
In the case of this St. Patrick's Day, operators who can do so should strongly consider offering a brunch promotion. This will allow them to capture revelers early on and keep them at their venues for later dayparts. Of course, stocking up on Irish beers and whiskeys to offer St. Patrick's Day guests is another logical and revenue-generating tactic.

How could you not love this face?!
We've been working with Charlie Brown for a while now.
He's had an interesting road in getting to where he is.
Of course, Charlie Brown has people who just love him, and they have always pursued the best care for him.
When Charlie Brown was a young pup, it was discovered that he had significant hip dysplasia.
At that time he underwent surgery on his pelvis to correct the deficit in his hips.
He responded well, and did well for a long time.
At this season of Charlie Brown's life, he has needed more therapeutic support to keep him going at the level that he and his people are used to.
He started chiropractic care some time ago, and he has responded really well.
He's found his energy and pep.
In the words of Charlie Brown's mom, we have helped him find his normal.
Over the last month or two, Charlie Brown has slowed a little, and it looked like he needed a bit more support from us.
This past week, Charlie Brown came to see me for a full rehab assessment.
We were also able to start him into rehab right away.
Based on the video that I saw, Charlie Brown really rocked the underwater treadmill.
We are also using laser and exercises to help Charlie Brown build some strength in his back end.
Even though there are metal pieces in his pelvis from the surgery he had years ago, we can still use the laser because it does not generate any heat internally.
We are all excited to be working with Charlie Brown and his people.
We are all looking forward to helping him thrive throughout his life.

2K Games Announces Duke Nukem Forever
Legendary video game hero to finally return and kick-ass on consoles and Windows PC in 2011
2K Games and Gearbox Software announced that forever is nearly here, as Duke Nukem Forever will officially make its long-awaited debut for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in 2011. Duke Nukem will bring his signature brand of babe-lovin', cigar-smoking, beer-chugging and ass-kicking action as he once again saves the Earth and our babes from hordes of invading aliens.
"All great things take time... a lot of time," laughs Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "After a hiatus from the video game world, Duke Nukem is back and better than ever. The return of the King from the glory days of shooters will satisfy our patient, die-hard fans, as well as a new generation of bubble gum-chewing, flat top and shades-wearing bad-asses. Make no mistake about it - Duke Nukem Forever is a testament to the era of when shooters were bodacious and fun."
Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.
Duke Nukem Forever is currently in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC. 2K Games has the exclusive, long-term publishing rights to the game. To catch your first glimpse of the Duke Nukem Forever experience visit www.dukenukem.com.

Discussion in 'General Education' started by Pisces, Nov 4, 2019.
Nov 4, 2019
A "major" is the curriculum within an academic department that leads to a degree. An "endorsement" lists the courses that are required to receive certification to teach a particular subject.
API defines endorsement as "Documentation that indicates that minimum requirements have been met for additional qualification in the designated area of expertise."
OP, I know that we through around endorsement and certification as though they are totally interchangeable, but depending on the way teachers are earning the right to teach in these varied fields, it is seldom the same one state to another. Example: I have a full major in my undergraduate degree, classified as a minimum of 30 credits in a logical sequence, with about half of those credits earned as upper level courses. Having that education allows me to sit for the Praxis Content Exam. I must have qualified for the endorsement with education, but need to pass the content exam with a passing exam to earn my certification. The amount of credits and sequences will often be dependent on whether or not it is a K-12 certificate, or a lesser certificate, such as Elem. Ed., or a middle school endorsement (15 credits in the subject matter at college). Once we are proved to have the college credits, and we have passed the requisite Praxis Exam, we are approved, here in NJ, to a provisional teaching certificate. So I was a provisional Biology teacher. Once I was cleared by the state as completing my provisional certificate, all of my provisional certificate became standard certificates in this state. I am now holding 8 standard certificates, which are all based on college education requirements being met, and Praxis exams being passed.
Different from other states, my certificates will not ever need to be renewed. Let me state, however, that I am tasked with acquiring a minimum of 20 hours of professional development per school year.
I don't know if this answers your questions.
Nov 5, 2019
As with practically everything else having to do with public education, the ins and outs of the difference between a license and an endorsement will vary from state to state. In California, one gets a single subject credential exactly once, and every additional subject area is added by endorsement - though there are two levels of endorsement (or three? I so don't do credentialing), depending on what one has had to do to qualify and on the level of sophistication of what one means to teach. Obviously vickilyn's experience in New Jersey (and, I think, New York?) is different.
Pisces, if you want the district in Georgia for which you're currently working NOT to know what you want to do, and if you completed either a bachelor's in teaching in Georgia or a university-based teacher-preparation program in Georgia to get the license you currently hold, you might want to take your question to the licensure experts at that university. (Am I sympathetic to people who just aren't quite ready to "out" their intentions to their employer? Believe it.) But you may feel less obliged to keep your district in the dark, and in that case do please put your questions to the nice people in the district's Human Resources office. If there isn't someone on HR staff whose business it is to ensure that the holder of endorsement X can indeed teach course Y to students at levels Z without incurring the unwelcome attention of either state or federal authorities charged with policing the ranks of the Highly Or Sufficiently Qualified, it would be surprising. At worst, it will surely be the case that someone in HR will be able to point you in the right direction.
Whoever you ask, what you want is to know (a) EXACTLY what hoops are required for endorsement vs. additional certificate and (b) EXACTLY what the full-on certificate will buy you - in terms of authority to teach the subject matter in Georgia and to teach it to few, some, or all students - that the endorsement won't, and vice versa. I could do some research and make some informed guesses - but with the best will in the world, I cannot hope to give you a Georgian's-eye view of what Georgia requires and allows, and that's what you're lacking.
20 hours of professional development PER year seems kind of excessive. I'm all for PD, but requiring continual development despite you being a highly qualified teacher and having 8 standard certificates, plus else, says that they think you will somehow become inadequate as an instructor if you don't go to some seminar to hear the same thing again and again.
I do PD some years and not others because it gets repetitive after a while. For example, I don't need to hear that differentiated instruction is important in multiple ways — I know it is and know how to do it in many different ways.
I can agree with what you are saying, but actually, the PD has never been much of an issue for me. There are so many free webinars, conferences, and courses out there that are right down my alley and I would most certainly be interested in many of them even if PD wasn't required. I think that because I have so many certifications this is a requirement that simply makes it very easy to revisit aspects from many of them, building on what interests me. Fortunately, it is simply 20 hours per year whether you have one certificate or ten. I find it harder to limit learning opportunities than to find new ones that may bore me to tears. In this, I truly feel blessed.
Gracefully replied, vickilyn.
Now let's return to the OP's topic, please.

There is no difference in my state.
Nov 22, 2019
I took the Praxis in Computer Science: Content Knowledge (5652) two weeks ago and barely passed. With the passing score set by my state, once I submit my paperwork, I will be certified to teach computer science. If the same goes for you with regard to the GACE, go ahead and do that. With a huge lack of CS teachers, I don't think the title matters as much as being certified to teach the subject. You may need to ask the GA DoE for guidance.
Hey, a pass is a pass. It shows you are qualified to teach CS and so I congratulate you! Well done!
Nov 23, 2019
Thanks! I was pretty nervous but confident when clicking the "Report Score" button. And when the unofficial score came and it was about the minimum, I let out a huge sigh of relief!! It was a challenging test but doable if you know stuff about computers and basic level programming.
Your situation is relatable, except I didn't take a CS certification test. My fellow admin know that I am well versed in Python, Ruby, C and C++ programming languages and so they pester me all the time to teach the computer science courses since our current teacher is officially retiring at the end of this year (he's been floating the idea for the last few years and finally decided it was time)!
The thing is that my plate is already full teaching AP Calculus AB/BC and Calc 3, plus my admin duties as Dean for Academic Affairs/STEM Director. I most likely will be asked to teach AP Stats if they can't find someone, but I am just too lazy and don't want to spend my summer preparing for new classes (don't tell anyone, lol!).
You're definitely more qualified than I am! I'm not particularly well-versed with computer programming but barely studied enough to pass! The more straight-forward questions with algorithms, swapping, sorting I kinda did ok with. Then there were questions that talked about queues and stacks and object-oriented programming? S.pop or S.push?? I left those question for last and just guessed!!
FWIW, the coolest program I ever wrote by myself was a synthetic division program in Python!
No biggie, just watch YouTube videos. That's literally how I learned as I could watch them work through the problems in real time.
There are many helpful links online, such as this one: https://computersciencewiki.org/index.php/Queue.
I would handwrite notes and copy these almost verbatim when I learned and now I have a huge compiled book (get it, I'm the compiler, lol!) of various concepts. Use free online resources!
I don't think there's a difference between endorsement and certification in Virginia. We can add new endorsement areas to an existing certificate just by taking the corresponding Praxis. That's how I got the Math endorsement... I just decided to take the Praxis to see how I'd do, and lo and behold, 187.

Yes. My point above was precisely that you need an authoritative answer that no one here seems to be in a position to supply.
I made two suggestions above as to authorities in Georgia to which you could go with reasonable expectation of finding a live person who can give you some guidance: your district's human resources department, or the college/university at which you completed your teacher preparation program.
The most authoritative source, of course, would be the Georgia state department of education (DOE), and I mean the office: on the teacher-licensure webpages that haven't been helpful to you there should be contact information, including email address and/or phone number(s). If there's a regional or county-level DOE office for your area, try there first: the more local the office, the likelier it is that a live person with some knowledge will answer the phone and do you some good.
If that doesn't get you somewhere, let us know. I have a few other ideas.

Sounds like you were able to get advice reasonably close to what you were hoping for, Pisces, and it's gratifying that it came from the top.
This process in Georgia sounds very similar to Texas. You absolutely can't sign up to take an assessment test unless they approve it and "let" you test. I only know this because my son went through the process in Texas before landing in Virginia. I do remember talking to the TEA, or whatever the initials are. It all hinged on what was in your transcript.

ROCKLIN -- Jennifer King has worked for the United Auburn Indian Community -- the same tribe that owns Thunder Valley Casino -- for the past five years as an administrative assistant.
"My performance ... exemplary, I've had great reviews," Kings said.
She says during that time, she's never received any negative verbal or written reviews on her performance.
So two days after she informed them she was pregnant, she actually thought she was getting a promotion when they asked to meet with her.
"The tribal administrator came in and informed me that I was being dismissed," King said.
"I asked if it had anything to do with my pregnancy, and they said no, that I wasn't a good fit," she said.
King believes she was fired because she has a 10-month-old daughter and would be on maternity leave again so soon after her other child was born.
"It's honestly heartbreaking, especially at a time like this," King said.
In a written statement, a spokesman for the tribe said:
"The United Auburn Indian Community is very supportive of employees who are pregnant and the Tribe has an established maternity leave policy that Ms. King benefited from during a previous pregnancy. In no way was Ms. King's pregnancy a contributing factor to her employment status with the United Auburn Indian Community."
She said she was asked to sign a severance agreement -- offering her $3,000 to walk away, but she declined.
She admits when she started there she signed an at-will employment contract, meaning she could be fired at any time.
"I don't care what she signed. I blow those up all the time," said attorney Mark Reichel.
Reichel says King likely signed the contract out of necessity to get hired in the first place.
"Does she know that she's really giving those away? Likely not," Reichel said.
He says the tribe should do what's right, instead of firing her at 21 weeks of pregnant. Her medical insurance expires at the end of the month.
"The pool that they're paying for insurance per individual is a lot lower than what she'd have to pay when she gets out. It's not much off of them to pay this for the good will," Reichel said.
"You're not just firing that person. You're firing someone that's inside of them at their crucial moments of growth. All that extra stress, I just hope it doesn't cause anything extra. I just want her to be OK," King's husband, Jason Kiffer, said.

Crop circles – mystery or encryption?
In our quest for answers it seems as if we are being handed pieces of the puzzle here and there, for example in England. Every year people are witnessing unexplained phenomena. Peculiar shapes in all sorts of sizes have been discovered in the grain fields in the countryside, called crop circles. These are patterns in a crop of wheat, rapeseed, rice, etc. Sometimes they are simple. Other times they are complex. No one knows how they are made. What we do know is that they appear overnight.
The appearance of crop circles causes lively spiritual and scientific discussions. Skeptics are convinced that they are made by humans, while others believe that this is not possible. More than twenty years of research has produced no explanation; it has merely shown that many of the crop circles have mysterious characteristics. Much information is to be found on the subject, but it is much more interesting to look at what they mean. Many contain some type of code, known as geometry.
Our distant ancestors already had knowledge on this subject, like the Maya, Celts, Druids, Greeks and Egyptians. They considered it as a "language", sacred to them, (Sacred Geometry) and used it during important initiations. An example are the mystery schools in ancient Egypt, where the teachings of geometry took 24 years – the first half for practical knowledge, the second half for energetic functioning.
What is it that makes geometry into something sacred? The patrons of Sacred Geometry hinted that the secret of creation is hidden in this ancient science.
To recognize Sacred Geometry in the Universe is seeing the blueprint of All That Is. This is based on the story that everything in the Universe is One, God himself. From the Unity Consciousness the illusion of separateness has been created in order for God himself to learn duality, an experience that could not happen without Division. This division would have occurred according to the golden ratio, the sacred ratio that applies to all phenomena in nature.
From this angle we can consider crop circles as a kind of encryption. They are pieces of a puzzle that can tell us about life. One could say that everything is geometry, including us humans. That is why crop circles are so fascinating, because it is known that in the presence of geometric shapes we experience feelings of recognition and comfort. It sometimes also gets translated into the feeling of "coming home".

If you could use some help choosing paint colors, this is for you! You might be a homeowner, business owner, painter, builder, remodeler, home stager, real estate agent, etc. And you might be involved in updating, remodeling, building new construction, preparing to sell, etc.
All services are delivered by me, Susan Livingston. I am a certified Architectural Color Consultant.
I will help you choose paint colors for your space, inside and/or out. And this can be one color or a cohesive palette, for one or more spaces. I will bring color tools and large samples — color tools that combine the power of science with the art of color — and a library of large paint samples that are a real game changer.
My system is mostly based on Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams colors, but I am able to help you with other paint brand colors as well, including Miller, Magnolia Home and Behr.
And if you could use help with color selection for other building material or decor items as well, I can help with that as well.
Consultations take place at your home or business, when possible, because paint colors need to coordinate with and are affected by their surroundings. And if it's a major remodel or new construction, we'll want to have samples of as many other building and decor materials as possible.
Onsite consultations are available for Idaho's Ada County (Boise etc), Canyon County (Nampa etc) and beyond.
While you don't want to leave the paint decision until the last minute, it's also best not to do it too early. It's best to make other selections first, as the color choices for paint are much greater than the color choices for most other building materials and decor items. But don't wait too long, as it's nice to live with a color sample for a little while before painting.

Long gone are the days when people used to meet in person to share their happiness, sorrow, achievements and other things with their friends and family. The rise in digitization has made people communicate over social media platforms every day. Sharing of pictures, messages and videos are done in a fraction of a second, to anywhere in the world. This advancement in technology has proved to be beneficial for the service industry. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest have been successful in keeping people engaged and this has made it possible for businesses to promote their services on these platforms. In addition to this, the increasing reliance of people on devices like smartphones has been utilized by businesses in the service sector to increase their reach in a very short time. Thus social media marketing has proven to be an ideal method for businesses to pitch their services to millions of people.
The primary benefactor of these platforms is the hotel industry. A few years back, people needed to personally go and book their accommodation in a hotel as a remote booking was not possible at that time. Because of this, only those multi-national chains of hotels used to benefit who had already established their names in the market, which meant the less popular and newly opened hotels suffered. But today the social media platforms along with smartphones have made it possible for a business of any size and name to reach to several people without much effort. Hence making reservations from anywhere in the world can be done in a few minutes due to these platforms. These days, travelers rely a lot on social networks to find hotels that they can trust. This is because people who have previously stayed at such hotels post their reviews online so that other people are aware of the quality of service and amenities that the hotels have to offer. Hotels have started leveraging the online resources to drive traffic on their websites by increasing the interaction with their customers over Facebook, Instagram, etc. A study has shown that the people who spent more time on the social media pages of a hotel tend to make reservations directly from the hotel's website rather than going through a third party. This happens because hotels have started offering discounts to people who follow them on social networks.
The hotel industry is just one example of how social media marketing is being utilized by the service industry. Other sectors such as educational institutions, communication services, financial services (Insurance and Banking) and social services have started taking advantage of these marketing strategies for their benefit. The key points to be considered while implementing these strategies are as follows:
1. Create engagement of target audience through popular mediums like Facebook page, Instagram handle, etc.
2. Promote your service through interesting blogs that would also help to drive traffic on the company website.
3. Mention case studies on the website or reviews from the people who have already utilized your service. Also always address negative reviews and try to figure out what went wrong.
4. Offer discounts or other benefits to your loyal customers.
5. Do detailed research to choose the perfect social media platform that will benefit your business.
Social media marketing is an economical and easy way to promote your business or service globally and develop your brand image. However, only after a careful study of such platforms is it possible to generate leads and increase brand awareness.

Here's cooking with... Jean Luc Desormiere from the Kings Oak Hotel in High Beach
PUBLISHED: 11:34 26 May 2015 | UPDATED: 11:34 26 May 2015
Jean Luc Desormiere, head chef at the Kings Oak Hotel in High Beach, talks of his whimsical route to the UK, cooking for the queen of pop and how the last place you'll find him is in the kitchen at parties, well certainly if it's at his home
Where do you work? I am the head chef at the Kings Oak Hotel at High Beach in Epping Forest.
What is your earliest food memory? The smell of freshly-cooked brioche, baked by my grandmother for breakfast.
What was your first ever job and where was it?
It was at the Brebant Hotel in Paris as commis chef and then chef de partie.
What was it about food which excited you enough to make a career out of it?
I think it was just simply the love of good food.
If you weren't on the stoves, where would you be now?
Most probably still in France, teaching rugby!
Who would you love to cook for and why?
I enjoy cooking for anybody who enjoys the pleasure of good food.
How would your team describe you?
I hope they think of me as fair and good to work for.
Which is your favourite dish to prepare?
My favourite dish is a foie gras terrine with caramelised grapes and a sauterne jelly.
Who was your inspiration to take up cooking?
I was really influenced by my mum and my grandmother.
Which three ingredients are your favourite to work with?
I always enjoy using butter, olive oil and fresh herbs.
Are there any celebrity moments you can share with us?
There are a few. I have cooked for well-known names including Madonna and Duncan Smith MP, but at the end of the day, all customers are celebrities in my eyes.
Tell us a bit about you at home — where do you originally come from and how did you end up here?
I grew up in Paris in France and I came to the UK to follow an English girlfriend who was blonde with a Mini Cooper.
At home — who lives there and who cooks most of the time?
I live with my wife, Fiona, and my Yorkshire terriers. My wife does all the cooking at home.
When I'm not in the kitchen I love nothing better than…
My greatest passion outside of the kitchen is rugby union.
Any kitchen disasters you can tell us about that you'd rather forget?
No, I would rather forget! But there was a time when the power went off during a busy Mother's Day — not an experience I'd care to repeat!
If you could change one thing about you, what would it be?
I don't think there is anything I would want to change too much. You are what you are, after all.
What is still on life's list of things to do?
Life is always full of surprises, but one thing I would love to do is to visit Japan to experience Japanese cuisine and culture.
Can you give us three top tips for the kitchen?
Always respect your staff, be organised and teach your passion.

Re: How do I obtain working capitol?phanio Jul 4, 2009 1:46 PM (in response to Massage1)There are many options for the small amout of funding you are seeking. Try micro-loans or peer-to-peer social lending - you could even think about credit cards for that amount.
You can also think about reducing some of other services you offer and focus your efforts back on your core service. Then, when the economy does recover - bring those other ones back.
Lastly, why has your revenue dropped? Are customers not seeing value in your services and thus not willing to pay your current prices? You might think about offering less in the service and charging less for it. Example, you offer pilates for one hour at a cost of $50. Try making a core 20 minute class for $20. Thus, you customers can still get the pilate value without the huge hit to the wallet.

I am the owner/operator of a successful massage clinic. I have been in business since October of 2004. I have made a steady profit yearly. Recently, I expanded my practice to include skin care, pilates, acupuncture and chiropractic care. My clinic services a very affluent area of my town. The economy has just started to take its toll on my clientle, and we have slowed business a bit. I am looking to borrow 10k - 15k to help with operating expenses during this lean time. Any ideas?

In Wes Craven's classic slasher film, several Midwestern teenagers fall prey to Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a disfigured midnight mangler who preys on the teenagers in their dreams -- which, in turn, kills them in reality.
After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
