VLADIVOSTOK--North Korean leader Kim Jong Un paid his respects at a ceremony honoring the war dead Friday to wrap up a brief and generally successful visit to the Russian Far East for his first summit with President Vladimir Putin.
Following reports of a last-minute cancellation, Kim arrived about two hours later than expected at a park near the headquarters of the Russian navy's Pacific Fleet for the wreath-laying ceremony.
Wearing a black suit and a fedora, he followed two goose-stepping Russian soldiers carrying a plate of red flowers with his name spelled out in Korean in gold colors on a red ribbon. Kim then laid flowers, took off his hat and bowed as a Russian military band played music, including North Korea's national anthem.
He then set off for dinner with the local governor and local business people on the outskirts of Vladivostok.
Russian news agencies reported Kim's delegation requested to cut his visit short. He was expected at an oceanarium and a ballet performance. Both venues had been closed down for security checks.
Kim is now expected to take his private train back to Pyongyang five hours earlier than planned.
Following their talks on Thursday, Putin indicated that he might be willing to play a bigger role in breaking the stalemate over Washington's push for denuclearization and Kim's demands for sanctions relief.
He said he would be willing to share details with the United States about his summit with Kim and suggested that Kim is willing to give up nuclear weapons, but only if he gets ironclad security guarantees supported by a multinational agreement.
Kim criticized Washington for taking a "unilateral attitude in bad faith" at his February meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Hanoi that has caused the diplomatic standstill, North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency said Friday. He also told Putin the situation on the Korean Peninsula has reached a "critical point" and whether it returns to tensions will "entirely depend on the U.S. future attitude."
The agency said Putin credited Kim's diplomatic initiatives for stabilizing the situation surrounding the peninsula and accepted Kim's invitation to visit North Korea at a "convenient time."
No specific measures coming out of the summit have been reported by either side. After meeting Kim, Putin later headed for a two-day trip to Beijing, where he said he will inform the Chinese leadership about the summit.
The leaders' comments suggest there has been no significant shift in Kim's position.
North Korea has all along contended that it needs its nuclear arsenal to defend itself against what it sees as U.S. hostility and wants concrete reassurances of its safety--including the removal of the American nuclear threat as an integral part of the denuclearization of the entire Korean Peninsula.
Along with a statement of political support, Kim was also looking for some kind of economic support and possibly even a workaround to sanctions that will force more than 10,000 North Korean laborers in Russia to leave by the end of the year. The laborers are a major source of income for Pyongyang.
Putin said they discussed the issue and would find a solution taking into account "humanitarian" factors, though he didn't say what that would be.

Smart Push Marketing ‑ WebPushby Hextom
Abandoned carts recovery via web push notifications
Recapture lost sales
Recapture lost sales with automated and targeted notification flows - recover abandoned carts. Perfect for BFCM (Black Friday Cyber Monday)
Increase new sales
Increase store traffic and sales by automatically sending notifications for back in stock, price drop alerts, and promotions.
Engage visitors on all devices
Engage and convert website visitors on both mobile and desktop without needing their emails or creating a mobile app.
About Smart Push Marketing ‑ WebPush
Web Push Notification is a new and important marketing channel for e-commerce. Due to privacy concerns, website visitors are increasingly reluctant to give out emails and phone numbers. Push Notification does not collect as much information as other channels, and the subscribers can not be shared or resold. Push notification is quickly gaining popularity in e-commerce, and has become a marketing channel that online stores cannot afford to miss.
Smart Push Marketing is built to help you recapture your lost sales, generate new traffic and boost sales.
Recover Abandoned Carts and Abandoned Checkouts:
As a shop owner, you might know the importance of abandoned checkouts recovery, but did you know abandoned checkouts is just a small subset of abandoned carts? Here is the difference. Abandoned checkout is when a customer adds items to the cart and starts the checkout, but gives up before completion. On the other hand, abandoned cart is when a customer adds items to the cart, and leaves even before clicking the checkout button.
Can you imagine the number of abandoned carts your store has every day? Way more than abandoned checkouts. Until recently there was not even a way to recover these abandoned carts, since you do not know who those customers are, and do not have their emails. Now, Smart Push Marketing not only recovers abandoned checkouts, but also has an algorithm to recover the large number of abandoned carts. Automatically send notifications to convert them into sales.
Timing is imperative
Customers are more likely to respond to a notification if it's the most recent one they see. This makes timing very important. Sending the same campaign at a different time of the day can create a huge difference in sales. A classic mistake is to ignore a subscriber's time zone or active shopping hours. If timing has not been taken into your marketing consideration, you might have missed a lot of orders that you would have gotten otherwise.
Smart Push Marketing can deliver your promotions to your subscribers at an appropriate time in their time zone. You can also configure campaigns so that subscribers receive notifications at the time of day when they subscribed to your store. These are the times when they are active and able to take immediate actions. This makes it more convenient for your subscribers to place orders with your store, hence boosting sales.
Subscriber Segmentation:
The App auto-segments subscribers into groups such as price sensitive group, frequent visitor group, win-back group, etc. You can create targeted campaigns accordingly. For example, you can send "price sensitive group" and "price insensitive group" different discount codes to maximize sales.

Elastocapillary interactions on nematic films
Edited by Monica Olvera de la Cruz, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, and approved April 14, 2015 (received for review March 9, 2015)
In this research we demonstrate complementary roles for elastic and capillary interactions for particles on thin nematic liquid crystal films. A priori estimates would suggest that surface tension effects would dominate over those associated with bend, twist, or splay of nematic director fields. This work is the first to our knowledge to clearly demonstrate complementary roles for both effects and extends significantly the means for developing oriented anisotropic assemblies. Anisotropic particles create strong capillary interactions that can dictate assembly. These assemblies obey orientations dictated by director fields in oriented planar nematic films. Curved interfaces add another degree of freedom, because curvature capillary-driven alignment competes with elastic-driven orientations. Experimental results are supported by analysis.
Rod-like colloids distort fluid interfaces and interact by capillarity. We explore this interaction at the free surface of aligned nematic liquid crystal films. Naive comparison of capillary and elastic energies suggests that particle assembly would be determined solely by surface tension. Here, we demonstrate that, under certain circumstances, the capillary and elastic effects are complementary and each plays an important role. Particles assemble end-to-end, as dictated by capillarity, and align along the easy axis of the director field, as dictated by elasticity. On curved fluid interfaces, however, curvature capillary energies can overcome the elastic orientations and drive particle migration along curvature gradients. Domains of dominant interaction and their transition are investigated.
Whereas directed assembly of colloids to form organized structures is often guided by external applied fields (1⇓–3), recent advances instead rely on interactions that emerge when particles are placed in a soft material. Two important examples are elastic interactions between particles in liquid crystals (LCs) (4⇓⇓⇓⇓–9) and capillary interactions between particles at fluid interfaces (10⇓⇓–13). Well-defined director fields with associated elastic energy landscapes can be imposed by confining nematic LCs between surfaces that favor given molecular orientations. When particles are introduced, they elicit an elastic response that moves them to preferred locations or drives them to interact with each other (14⇓⇓–17). Capillary interactions occur between particles trapped at fluid interfaces; the particles distort the interface and assemble to minimize the interfacial area (10, 18, 19). Interface curvature fields can steer particles along well-defined paths and orient them via curvature capillary energies. Because both fluid interfaces and LC director fields are readily reconfigured, a deeper understanding of these mechanisms paves the way for responsive or reconfigurable materials. Can capillarity and elasticity together direct interactions between colloids on free surfaces of nematic films? To our knowledge, thus far only spherical colloids have been studied at nematic interfaces; for such particles, capillary interactions are typically weak (9). Anisotropic particles, however, create larger interface deformations with associated significant capillary interactions, as has been established in studies on isotropic fluids with planar (12, 20) and curved (21) interfaces.
An a priori comparison of capillarity to elastic interactions suggests that capillarity would dominate, and elasticity would not play an important role. For example, a particle of radius m on a nematic LC of average elastic constant N with surface tension Nm–1 has an elasto-capillary number , indicating that capillary effects are far larger than those of elastic origin. However, a more careful scrutiny of the magnitude of these interactions for, for example, cylindrical microparticles on nematic films indicates otherwise. When immersed in an oriented hybrid nematic film, cylindrical microparticles of length L and radius R chain by elastic dipolar interactions and orient along the director field, with elastic energies and torques (22, 23). On fluid interfaces, such microparticles distort fluid interfaces with characteristic deformation magnitudes and associated capillary energy . For this situation, the ratio of capillary to elastic energies is far smaller, indicating that there may be a more interesting interplay of these effects. We probe this interplay in a study of cylindrical microparticles with homeotropic anchoring at free surfaces of an aligned hybrid nematic film, a system in which elastic effects and capillary effects can play complementary or competing roles.
Results and Discussion
Elastocapillary Interactions on Planar Interfaces.
In our experiments, we study microcylinders deposited on the free surface of a hybrid aligned nematic film. The film has oriented planar anchoring on the substrate and homeotropic anchoring at the free surface. The significant bending of the director across the film thickness provides an elastic environment that can couple to distortions or defects in the director field created by the particles. Microcylinders with homeotropic anchoring are introduced onto this surface by creating an aerosol and subsequently allowing them to sediment through the air and attach to the interface (Fig. 1A).
Once attached, the microcylinders align along the easy axis of the nematic film, corresponding to the direction of the oriented planar anchoring on the substrate. This orientation occurs robustly for films of μm. This elastic alignment is enforced by a torque that rotates nanowires (24) or bullet-like particles (25) immersed within uniform LCs and can be attributed to the coupling of the topological defect created by the microcylinder and the prevailing director field. The microcylinders create a point defect at one of their flat ends (Fig. 1 B and C) that is similar to the hyperbolic hedgehog observed around homeotropic beads trapped at air/nematic (7) or water/nematic interfaces (26, 27). As expected, the defect and the associated alignment disappear when the nematic is heated to the isotropic phase (Fig. 1 D and E). For larger film thicknesses (above μm), the elastic coupling vanishes and cylinders become randomly oriented.
In addition to inducing elastic deformations, the cylinders deform the fluid interface. Interferometric images (Fig. 2A) reveal the quadrupolar symmetries of this distortion, with rise at the planar ends of the cylinder and weak downward deflections along the sides, qualitatively similar to the behavior at the air/water interface (28). This distortion has a polar quadrupolar mode that determines the long-range interactions of the particles (13). The magnitude of the polar quadrupolar deformation at the air/nematic interface of an isolated cylinder measured three radii from the particle center is nm, independent of the LC film thickness (Fig. 2B).
These particles could, in principle, interact either via capillarity, elastic interactions, or both. To discern the prevailing energies, trajectories of interacting particles were captured using video microscopy. Typically, both elasticity and inertia are negligible, as reflected by values of the Ericksen number and the Reynolds number, , respectively. In these expressions, mPa⋅s is the viscosity of 4-cyano-4-pentylbiphenyl (5CB), ν is the bulk fluid velocity, is the characteristic length of the particle (i.e., the cylinder length), = 1.008 g/mL is the density of 5CB, and N is the average Frank elastic constant. Thus, particle migrations are balanced by viscous dissipation that can be treated in the context of a Newtonian viscous fluid. To understand the drag on a particle, we record the Brownian trajectories of an isolated particle on the film at a rate of 14 frames per second for ∼12 min. The microcylinders are affected both by the anisotropic alignment of the director and the particle shape. The instantaneous velocity of the particle between each video frame is determined in directions both parallel and perpendicular to the director field. From these data, the diffusion coefficient along the easy axis and that perpendicular to it are determined to be μm2/s and 1.39 μm2/s, respectively. For the purpose of estimating potentials, an average of two diffusion coefficients was used in the Stokes–Einstein equation to find the Stokes drag coefficient.
On an isotropic fluid interface, cylindrical particles assemble in mirror symmetry to form an end-to-end chain by capillarity (20). The existence of an easy axis in this system alters particle trajectories during assembly. There are two scenarios observed for this assembly depending upon the orientation of the vector defining the center-to-center distance between the particles r. Either r is parallel to the easy axis or it is not. When r is parallel to the easy axis, the microcylinders remain aligned along this axis as they approach in an end-to-end configuration (Fig. 3). The interaction potential has elastic and capillary contributions[1][2]
In this expression, the first term is an attractive elastic dipole–dipole interaction between the cylinders assuming a small angle difference between the major axis of the two particles (25). In this expression m is the length of the microcylinder, m is its radius, and r is the particle center-to-center separation distance. The elastic potential at μm is about kBT. The second term is the capillary contribution, with pair potential between polar capillary quadrupoles (13). In this expression, is the magnitude of the quadrupolar distortion due to a cylinder, and and are the orientation of the quadrupolar rise axis of particles A and B, respectively, with respect to r. The capillary contribution to the interaction at μm is of kBT, two orders of magnitude greater than the elastic potentials. Thus, assembly is indeed dominated by capillarity whereas the alignment is enforced by elasticity. The particle trajectory versus time obeys the expected power-law dependence for interacting polar quadrupoles in the interface in the far field (Fig. 3). This power law results from a balance of the prevailing interaction force with viscous dissipation (20, 29), that is, , where and . In this expression, is the diffusion coefficient. This balance allows us to identify the prefactor to the power law,[3]
When r is not parallel to the easy axis, both capillary and elastic effects are evident in the particle dynamics. Microcylinders first assemble into an end-to-end structure at an angle with respect to the director field via capillarity (Fig. 4A) with orientations that deviate from mirror symmetry indicating a role for elasticity in this trajectory. Thereafter, an elastic torque rotates the assembled chain to realign it along the easy axis (Fig. 4 A and B). Similarly, chains of particles can form by successive capillary interactions and rotations. Fig. 4C shows elastic rotation on the film interface of chain lengths three, four, five, and seven particles. This elastic torque can be approximated as for small angle θ between the chain's long axis and the easy axis. The elastic torque is balanced by the viscous drag on the particle,[4]where σ is the rotational drag coefficient of the chain (30). Upon integration, the particle positions may be characterized as a function of time and chain length:[5]where is a constant that can be computed from the cylinder's initial and final orientation. In Fig. 4B, is reported, where the abscissa indicates time since the chain formation, as indicated that the experimental results are in a good fit with theory for a chain comprising four particles. In a hybrid nematic film, the elastic energy is inversely related to the film thickness (31),[6]where is the angle of the LC molecule on the substrate, is the angle of the LC molecule at the air/nematic interface, and h is the thickness of the nematic film. Hence, as film thickness increases, the alignment and torque weaken significantly. As we observed in experiments, these effects are completely absent for films thicker than 50 μm.
Elastocapillary Interactions on Curved Interfaces.
Microcylinders on interfaces with finite deviatoric curvatures align along principle axes and migrate to sites of high curvature owing to capillarity (21). Here, we study the interplay of this capillary alignment and the elasticity-enforced alignment along the easy axis.
The curved nematic film covers a region roughly 2 cm in diameter, centered around an SU-8 microdisk of height 50 μm and diameter 350 μm, respectively. Microcylinders are aerosolized and dispersed onto the curved interface around the microdisk (see the schematic in Fig. 5A). The interface shape is axially symmetric, as confirmed by the interface height profiles, obtained by interferometry, in four directions from the center of the microdisk, which collapse onto one curve in Fig. 5A. From the profile, the interface slopes and curvatures can be determined directly.
This interface shape has zero mean curvature and finite deviatoric curvature given by[7]where and are the radii of curvature along the two principal axes, and and are local principal curvatures, defined so that . For our interface shape, given that mean curvature is zero, . Thus, the deviatoric curvature can be found:[8]
Note that at the contact line where LC, air, and microdisk meet, the height of the nematic is still within the range where cylindrical particles can sense the easy axis on planar films. We select this height regime to ascertain whether curvature alignment or nematic alignment will dominate. We report particle behaviors for distances from the microdisk center up to 1,500 μm, for which the height varies from 25 μm to 50 μm. Microcylinders attach to the interface and rotate to align their major axis along the radial direction (Fig. 5B); in this configuration, the rise axis of the particle-sourced quadrupole aligns along the rise of the curved host interface. For all microparticles observed within roughly 1,200 μm from the center of the post, radial alignment is observed. Once attached, microparticles migrate along a radial trajectory toward the post, along the curvature gradient. In this region, particle alignment is dominated by capillarity.
For particles located between 1,200–1,300 μm from the center of the microdisk, particles transition from a curvature capillary alignment to elastic field dominated behavior (as shown in Fig. 5B, the yellow arc depicts a segment of a circle drawn with a radius of 1,300 μm). Particles in this region transition from radial alignment to alignment along the easy axis. In one observation, a weak flow field moved particles from the elastic-dominated to curvature-capillary-dominated regions. Microcylinders convected toward the microdisk slowly rotated from alignment along the easy axis to radial alignment.
The identification of the location where elastic alignment and capillary alignment compete allows us to estimate the torque from both viewpoints. The capillary torque for particles rotating from alignment along one principle axis to the other is given simply by (28). Evaluating this torque at 1,300 μm, kBT. At the same location, the elastic torque on a film of thickness 25 μm (the height at this distance from the post) can be estimated using Eq. 4 to be kBT, comparable to the capillary torque. Closer to the microdisk, elastic torques decrease whereas capillary torques increase, explaining the observed cross-over behavior.
In conclusion, cylindrical particles at free surfaces of hybrid nematic films display a rich interplay of capillary and elastic interactions. The particles orient along the director easy axis on nematic films that are sufficiently thin. Pairs of particles form chains by capillarity, which rotate to align along the easy axis by an elastic torque. We characterize this elastic torque for chains of varying length. On curved fluid interfaces, curvature capillary orientation and migration compete with the elastic field for curvatures which are sufficiently steep. Transition regions where curvature is weak enough for elastic-enforced alignment to be restored are identified. By developing this understanding, we establish assembly tools with important degrees of freedom to assemble and orient responsive materials.
Materials and Methods
Lithographic Cylindrical Colloid Fabrication and Surface Treatment.
A microcylinder array is fabricated from negative-tone epoxy photoresist SU-8 (Microchem Corp.) using standard photolithographic procedures. The negative-tone epoxy photoresist SU-8 is spin-coated onto a precleaned silicon wafer. After soft-baking the wafer, the photoresist is exposed to UV light (365 nm) on a tabletop mask aligner (model 100; OAI) through a photomask (fine line imaging; Microtronics Inc.). Subsequently, the wafer is heated to cross-link the UV-exposed regions and immersed in SU-8 developer to dissolve the undeveloped epoxy. The resulting microcylinders in these arrays have nominal radii R = 5 μm and length L = 25 μm. To impose anchoring conditions, the microcylinder arrays are sputtered with a 30-nm film of chromium. After releasing the microcylinders from the wafer by scraping the wafer with a razor blade, the particles are sputtered a second time to ensure that all sides of the particles are covered with chromium. To induce strong homeotropic anchoring, cylindrical particles are treated with a 3% weight solution of N,N-dimethyl-N-octadecyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilyl chloride (Sigma-Aldrich) in a mixture of 90% by weight of ethanol, and 10% by weight of water solution, for 1 h at 80 °C. Particles are subsequently cleaned by repeated cycles of rinsing, centrifugation, and decanting in water. Microcylinders are then dried in an oven overnight to evaporate solvent.
Substrate Preparation and Particle Dispersion.
The particles are placed on nematic films prepared over either planar substrates to form a planar air/nematic interface or around microdisks to create well-defined curvature fields. The anchoring of the nematic film is hybrid: planar at the glass substrate and perpendicular in contact with air.
We study microcylinder-sourced interface distortions at the free surface and defects in the nematic film. The microparticles are placed on air/nematic interfaces by aerosolizing them and allowing them to sendiment through the air and attach to the interface. Once attached, the particles are no longer affected by gravity, as is reflected in the small value of the Bond number, the ratio between gravitational forces and interfacial tension Bo =, where is the density difference between particle and LCs (= 1,200 kg/m3 and 1,008 kg/m3), g is the gravitational acceleration constant, is the particle characteristic length ( m), and γ is the interfacial tension between two liquids ( N/m) (32). Cylinders of aspect ratio 2.5 typically assume a side-on configuration with the particle long axis in the plane of the interface (20, 33).
Planar Interface.
Planar anchoring of nematic LCs on the glass substrate is achieved by treating glass microscope slides with a solution of 1% by weight polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dissolved in a mixture of 10% by weight ethanol and water (10:90 wt/wt). The substrates are first spin-coated with the PVA solution at 2,000 rpm for 20 s and then heated in the oven at 110 °C for 1 h. The PVA-treated glass substrates are then rubbed in one direction with a velvet cloth to ensure unidirectional planar alignment. A nematic film is formed by spin-coating a small droplet of 5CB on the glass substrate. The thickness of the film is controlled by the spin-coating speed.
Curved Interface.
The curved interface is molded by placing an SU-8 microdisk of height ∼50 μm and diameter 350 μm on the glass substrate that is already covered with a uniform nematic film. The nematic film pins at the top edge of the microdisk creating a monopole deformation of the interface. The angle of the curved interface at the edge of the microdisk is between 10–15°.
Microcylinder particles are deposited on the interfaces by creating an aerosol of particles that settle onto the nematic film. Particle behavior is observed using bright-field and polarized optical microscopy in transmission mode under an upright optical microscope (Zeiss AxioImager M1m; Carl Zeiss). Images and videos are taken with a high-resolution camera (Zeiss AxioCam HRc). Particle orientation and trajectory are analyzed using ImageJ.

If you are looking for in-studio posed newborn photos then I am going to stop you right there! I strictly photograph newborns in a very natural setting - their own home. I do not do the posed swaddle looks with the different backdrops. That is a damn art and not one that I do! If you are looking for candid moments with your newborn then keep on scrolling!
Photographing newborns in their home has become one of my favourite things to do. Those first couple weeks of your child's life are so important and something you will never forget. These sessions used to scare the hell out of me when I first became a photographer. I am a couple years into it now and I adore these sessions. There is nothing like going into someone's home and getting to document their brand new baby. Whether it is your first, second, third or 12th baby these are important moments to document.
Typically, newborn sessions are best done when baby is 6-16 days old, but can most definitely be done later than that. All sessions are done in the comfort of your home. I will send out a questionnaire prior to your baby's arrival just to get a sense of what kind of images are most important to you. I will also touch base with you around your home and what kind of natural lighting you have. The more natural light the better!
\ I do not like to put a time limit on these sessions. Nothing is more stressful for parents of a brand new baby to be worried about a ticking clock. We will go off of your baby and/or toddler(s) for this one! Feel free to take all the breaks you need to keep that little one (of their big sibling) content. Now, that being said I don't plan to stay at your house for hours and hours on end. Typically I find that 1.5 hours (even with a fussy baby) is all the time we need!
Check out my portfolio to see some images from past newborn sessions and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

World History 1901
About the history of the world in 1901, Commonwealth of Australia formed, J.P. Morgan forms U.S. Steel, Gillette invents the disposable safety razor.
* The Commonwealth of Australia was formed.
* J. P. Morgan, 64, bought out Andrew Carnegie's steel interests and merged them with his own and those of other steel producers to form the world's largest corporation--United States Steel.
Mar. 2 The U.S. affixed the Platt Amendment to the Cuban constitution, therein making the island a U.S. protectorate.
Dec. 2 King C. Gillette, 46, of Chicago, patented the first safety razor equipped with disposable blades. Sales dragged for a few years (51 razors sold in 1903), but Gillette waited out the market until his product suddenly caught on in 1904, when 12.4 million little blue blades were tugging at the beards of American men.

Sir, am a user of subliminals from last 3 months. I've used subliminal with and without binaural beats.i found it more effective without binaural beats.and i got results too. But from last few weeks am listening to few subliminals with binaural beats.i donno why ..but i started feeling severe pain on my head and feels too tired and drowsy. I thought its because as it works. But my condition was getting worse. And also I started having fear and scary dreams. I started feeling like too stressed . I listen to 6 subliinals for 6 subjects a day. I read in a website its not a problem to listen 6 subjects a day.and i listen 6 subs for one hour each too…but in the starting i was happy with my results and subliminals.but now am getting scary dreams ..peaceless and fear. Why is this sir. Plse help me…but i love to use subliminals again as i got results. But am scared now. And plse also tell me sir if its okie to use subliminals without binaural beats?? Will they have same effect?? Help me sir…
I received my order on Mon. and have done 3 or 4 sessions of Equisync I. I just wanted to say I can already notice a difference in myself. I am much calmer and more clear thinking already in just 2 days. I don't think it's my mind playing tricks on me. Is this a common occurrence? Your product is great I can't wait to try Equisync II and Equisync III.
So, I tried those frequencies. And after listening to the 1st one (High Beta to Gamma, Isochronic tones: 18HZ ramped up to 40HZ within 20 minutes) – I immediately stood up and started organizing! (Something that I kept forgetting to do!) Overall, I've found that isochronic tones & monaural beats are more immediately effective than binaural beats, though they are still good.
Insomnia: Perhaps one of the most promising uses of brainwave entrainment technology is for those struggling with insomnia. While the technology is unlikely to provide a "cure" it may help those who have a high level of arousal or are "keyed-up" – reduce their level of internal arousal and sleep. Specifically insomnia that is induced by excess stress (e.g. beta activity) would likely benefit from slower wave stimulation (e.g. alpha activity) to aid the brain in transitioning into sleep.
According to both observation and research, after a series of brainwave entrainment practices, the brain learns how to state change. This enables you to achieve certain brainwave effects in the absence of entertainment. Additionally, research shows that children are usually in the Theta stage and this in itself could provide a detailed explanation for their ability to learn fast and remember what they have learned. We can take advantage of this effect and use Alpha and Theta waves to reduce learning time in adults.
Because the mind and body are a single system, changing our brainwaves and spending more time in harmonious, relaxed, and restorative mind-states also affects our physical health. Physical health then reinforces our mental-state, and a feedback loop of either positive or negative processes becomes established. Research studies have shown beneficial effects of using brainwave entrainment for treating migraine headaches, premenstrual syndrome, and for managing physical pain.
There is a certain point where the promised benefits of brainwave entrainment become more esoteric, and based on internal, subjective experience of oneself. A few examples would be that listening to brainwave entrainment on a regular basis helps to increase one's self-awareness, or that it increases mental "sharpness", or helps to heal emotional trauma and increase your tolerance of stress and negative emotion.
How brainwave entrainment works is quite simple. A tone or beat is overlayed into a track (usually with nature sounds or calming music) that pulses on and off at a specific rate. The frequency of that rate is matched by the brain, thus leading it to produce brainwaves that correspond with that particular frequency. The specific frequency range determines the brainwave produced (ie: alpha, theta, delta, gamma). For example, if the beat is pulsing on or off at a rate of 7hz, your brain will produce brainwaves at the frequency of 7hz, which are theta waves.
Alpha brainwaves are resonating just below beta brainwaves at the frequency range of 8Hz to 12Hz on an EEG. Beta brainwaves are the normal, waking life, active, rational thinking and problem solving brainwaves that are dominant in most people throughout the day. Alpha brainwaves begin to show up when relaxation occurs. Often times the simple act of closing your eyes can product spurts of alpha waves. Taking a few deep breaths or consciously relaxing will do the same. When alpha waves become dominant, the body and mind are usually comfortably relaxed.
Subsequently, the term 'entrainment' has been used to describe a shared tendency of many physical and biological systems to synchronize their periodicity and rhythm through interaction. This tendency has been identified as specifically pertinent to the study of sound and music generally, and acoustic rhythms specifically. The most ubiquitous and familiar examples of neuromotor entrainment to acoustic stimuli is observable in spontaneous foot or finger tapping to the rhythmic beat of a song.

Before I headed off to the Galapagos, I was approached by the team at Brighterlife.ca, a website funded by SunLife Financial which shares ideas about money, health and family. As part of their Savour Summer campaign, they reached out to bloggers to help share some ideas on travel and asked me if I would be interested in sharing some of my packing tips.
The timing couldn't have worked out better because we shot the video piece the day I had to pack for the Galapagos.
I worked closely with the team at HighRoad Communications who represent SunLife and they were an absolute joy to work with. The girls and I hit it off so well that day and we were so productive in getting things done.
I think they were relieved to discover that I've worked in the tv production industry for years, so having to ask me to demonstrate things a few different times from various angles was like second nature to me.
I'm so thrilled with how cute my video turned out and you can check out the full article on their website: What to Pack: Tips from a Globetrotting Traveller

Are blogs dead in 2017?
Every year, there's a new gaggle of marketers that proclaim that blogging is dead. And if you're looking at blogging as it has been in the past, then yes -- blogging is dead.
Blog trends have greatly changed in the past few years, and this year will be no different. Blogs are still relevant, they're just evolving. With the methods of content creation changing, the role of blogs has changed. Content creation is no longer just writing -- it's been largely invaded by social media. Today's content creation is writing, imagery, photography, and videography, all easy to create and share.
Sure, the landscape has changed, but that doesn't mean that you're out of luck if you're a blogger, or aspiring to be. In face, blogs today are just as important as they have ever been. It's just the strategies that have changed.
So don't panic -- today we'll be taking a look at blogging, its future, and its role in your 2017 marketing strategy.
Blogs for personal branding
Personal branding is where new platforms for content creation have caused the most change. Where before you'd start a fashion or a politics blog, you might take to social media to grow a following. In this respect, the blogging environment has changed.
Now, instead of worrying about building your personal brand through a blog, you can simply build an organic following for fashion, politics, cooking, fitness, or anything else. Aspiring influencers are no longer limited to a written blog, no longer hindered by your creative writing ability.
This is one of the great changes of blogging in 2017. Where before building an organic following was constricted to writers, it's now much easier. Now, people are able to build a following for their photography, their drawings, and their video.
It's a matter of deciding what you want to do, and building an identity and content around that. You'll find yourself less limited, and competing with a different crowd than if you were trying to build up a blog.
That doesn't mean, though, that blogs and blog writing are dead, or relegated to a smaller part of web users. No -- in fact, this filtering of content creation has allowed for blogs to evolve and develop into an important part of the web, that you can take advantage of in 2017.
Blogging for business in 2017
While we see content getting shorter and shorter on the consumer side, blogs and the blog writing process have just gotten longer and longer.
Indeed. It's important to have a social media presence, if that's where your customers are. But blogging is still one of the most useful investments of time and money for a business, especially if that business has a stake in a strong online presence.
As a content marketing company, we preach the importance of a strong content strategy all day and all night. Blogs are indispensable for SEO and organic traffic, but they're important for other reasons as well. Blogging is one of the most effective ways to organically build your brand and following, as well as build up a library of work to repurpose in social media and email campaigns.
Blogs also have the most staying power, because it's content that lives on your site and is controlled wholly by you. Once you've managed to build a loyal readership, traffic and reach will not be beholden to an outside platform -- you won't have to worry about things like Facebook algorithm changes or Twitter feed updates.
New challenges in the blogging landscape
It's not all blue skies, though. As the internet and Google have matured, blogging has become much more competitive.
Writers are spending more time writing content, because the only way to truly shine with content is to create amazing and unique stuff. The internet, as it is now, is a library for content for humans, with robot librarians. Today, in 2017, building a blog is a balance between creating content that is useful and interesting to humans, but written in a way that robots can understand and organize it.
For this reason, blogging and content strategy are imperative for a web presence and to be found on Google, but will only really work if you offer high-quality stuff.
Notably, people's eyes are getting better at spotting quality -- and their noses are getting better at sniffing out BS.
This means that Google puts more weight on content's length, depth, content, and context -- instead of just content, as has been the case in the past.
Technical changes for 2017
Behavioral changes aside, recent years have brought technical changes to Google -- and consequently, content marketing in general. Though they're not the kind of thing for you to completely reevaluate for, they are important and you'll find yourself ahead of the curve if you plan for them.
AMP, Accelerated Mobile Pages
AMP is an open-source project backed by Google. Basically, it's a framework that allows and encourages developers to build pages that load quickly.
Implementing AMP takes some hands-on work, though if you use WordPress you'll find AMP plugins. AMP is important because it is favored by Google in mobile search results -- if your page has implemented AMP then it's a guarantee to Google that it will load quickly and is optimized for mobile, and will be rewarded in search results.
Mobile-first is a design approach. It is, for web developers, the idea of planning a website or web app first for mobile, and then elaborating the design for desktop.
Though any web developer worth her salt will know this, it's important for marketers to know too. After all, when components of a marketing campaign are optimized for mobile, they're more likely to look great on all screens, and more likely to rank and drive traffic.
Voice search
Voice search is something that starting infiltrating conversations in 2016, largely due to the growth of voice products like Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri and Google's voice assistant.
The premise here is that where someone may type into Google "best sushi nyc," the corresponding voice search would be "Where is the best sushi in New York City?". These queries, though asking for the same thing, are different enough semantically to warrant different keyword targeting strategies.
Voice search is important in blogging in 2017 because voice search is quickly growing, but search companies (like Google) haven't quite figured out how to adapt and respond. For you and your blog, this isn't an action item -- but is something to keep on your radar.
Over to you
Blogging is not dead, it's not gone, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
For an aspiring influencer, blogging has changed and today is an opportunity to deepend a brand built on social media. For marketers though, blogging is more important than it has ever been. It's a way for your brand to build out a library of proprietary information, provide value to current and potential customers, and draw in organic traffic.
And finally, for small business marketers who grapple with digital marketing as a showdown between social media and owned media, I leave you with this:
Buyer intent doesn't live on social, it lives on Google.
Blogging is not dead in 2017 -- in fact, it can be your most solid investment. But don't underestimate what a good blog and content strategy can take. Know the importance of your blog, and build it out.

Property is owned by SEDC, it was operated as a lease under Holiday Inn. Like the Crowne Plaza, most hotels in Kuching are owned by one company and operated by another.
Think of it like you have a house and leasing it out.

Though not related to Kuching but it is about overall tourism industry.
Slowdown prompts hotels to drop rates
from Malaysia Hotel News by sns
ECONOMIC woes and tightened purse strings are finally causing some hotels in the four- and five-star categories to drop rates from now till December in the hope of raising occupancy. Hotels not offering discounted rates are throwing in value-adds to draw business.
From January to June 2008, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) reported that visitor arrivals and average room rate rose 2.9 per cent and 29.6 per cent respectively, as compared to the same period in 2007, while visitor receipts and average occupancy rate dipped 0.2 per cent and 3.4 per cent respectively.
Hotel Rendezvous general manager, Mr Kellvin Ong, said: "We are already seeing a slowdown in corporate travellers as companies curtailed their travelling patterns and expenditure. Many hotels like us are similarly impacted. We are also seeing some hotels dropping rates to get business."
An industry source said: "August is especially bad for Singapore. Any hotelier who says that business is great for the rest of this year is lying."
Pacific Arena reported that four- and five-star hotels had slashed their rates by at least 10 per cent in July and August, and had offered lower rates as well for September.
However, the dip in room rates will only offer a brief respite for inbound travel agents who have been having a hard time encouraging groups to stay on longer in expensive Singapore. Travel agents expect hotel performance to pick up again in the new year, and overall room rates will rise between five to 10 per cent.

I might go and contradict that. My trips have proven otherwise. I have paid on occasion nearly double what I normally would in those categories, in Singapore and elsewhere.
However, I was given extra discounts when I extended my stay, and there was that 'free night' the offered in some of the Luxury Collection establishments among others.

I think I found a new way to promote Kuching and Sarawak: pepper.
No joke, Sarawak is well known for our high quality pepper, and it is considered a luxury and connoisseur's delight in some market. Kuching Airport has stalls dedicated to pepper sweets, pepper grains, ground pepper, pepper grinder, pepper sauces. Even Crabtree & Evelyn and Cartier uses Sarawakian pepper as an ingredient in their fragrances.
I mentioned I was born in Kuching, Sarawak once; and this Frenchwoman asked for confirmation, "Sarawak, place where they grow Sarawak pepper? Oh, c'est tres bon pour le cuisiner!" Let Sabah keep it's beaches, let Langkawi be known for the Four Seasons; time to make Kuching a culinary paradise, both haute cuisine and hawker fare.

That might make it accidentally tacky and annoying. It's like seeing kangaroo dolls surrounding the Sydney Opera House or Statue of Liberty figurines at the Time Warner Centre. Nice for the first five minutes, after that you feel like ripping the heads off.

I think Kuching must promote it Muziums and River cruise or river sports, also the history of Rajah Brooke. These three can bring Kuching to greater high! Kuching must be Kuching itself!
Pepper is more famous from Sarikei, Bintangor and Sri Aman!

Still, pepper is what puts Sarawak on the culinary map, and Sri Aman and Sarikei are within easy reach of Kuching. I am amazed that some people know Sarawak through spice than through history or Malaysia.
Our museums are our heritage, as is the Brooke legacy found throughout the city. However, what we lack is funding and proper exhibition space. Sarawak has a lot of artifacts and works of art; in fact a boutique hair salon in Kuching boats its own little 'art gallery.' Yet, the Art Museum adjacent to the Sarawak Museum lacks exhibits, barely a few, barely enough to entertain and distract. The exhibits in the Sarawak Museum itself are in dire need of refurbishment, de-cluttering and reorganisation.

Kuching is not & maybe never will be a tourist destination in the truest sense of the term. There is nothing that comes close to being a huge draw, certainly not your white pepper, Brooke legacy or even the orangutan, whose novelty has altogether worn thin. You need to identify and vigorously promote features that are indegenious with your city.
Tourists head for destinations that offer uniqueness, whatever they may be, cost, food, climate, transportation, accomodation.....the list goes on. And above all, they will want to leave with new experiences that they can treasure, and Kuching must hope that they will trigger return trips.
Not enuf time, resources and effort has ever been allocated by the city's tourism industry, and often times, the wrong brains are in charge. I have picked up many brochures from the M'sian consulate, and they simply DON'T excite the reader! The material is often repeats of ..... I won't go into details.
Maybe Kuching is destined to be just a casual tourist stopover for the ultra-curious, or maybe a reliable consultant(s) need to be utilized to tap whatever potentials there are for future development.
Right now, majority of tourists to M'sia stop short of making that side trip from west to east. There has to be an answer!

It depends on what the tourist is looing for in a destination.
I first came to Kuching because I wanted to visit 'Borneo'! I read travel books and they recommended Kuching as one of the nicest cities in Asia. So I went ahead and we came to visit. I have now been back several times and fell in love with the place.
However, it depends what you are looking for. For backpackers, it's a good stop off on a pan-Asian tour and for families it's great to see the flora and fauna but I can't see my teenage son and his friends wanting to spend too long as they are much more attracted to the bright lights of clubbing destinations in Europe.
As with any 'product' there has to be a USP and the tourist board needs to decide what that is, and market Sarawak and Kuching especially accordingly.

Electron excitation of neutral and ionic levels in Townsend discharges of argon at high E/N
- 56 Downloads
- Citations
We have measured the emission coefficients of the 3p levels of ArI: 3p1, 3p5, 3p6, 3p7, 3p8, and 3p10. The data for the 3p5, 3p6, 3p7, 3p8 and 3p10 levels were converted to excitation coefficients by using quenching coefficients from the literature. Measurements were performed in the range of E/N between \(\) to above \(\) except for the 3p7 level where measurements were done only up to \(\). The data for the emission coefficients for Ar II levels include two 4p' levels with terms 2P 0 1/2 and 2F 0 7/2, and three 4p levels with terms 2P 0 1/2, 4P 0 5/2 and 2D 0 5/2. The measurements for the ionic levels were done for E/N above \(\) up to nearly \(\). The absolute values of the coefficients were obtained from the intensity of the light emitted at the anode in the parallel plate self-sustained Townsend argon discharges. For low E/N the apparent emission coefficients (i.e. the normalized spatial profile of emission) for both neutral and ionic levels increase exponentially in almost the entire discharge gap. At about \(\) the exponentially increasing signal was obtained only near the anode, while at \(\) the spatial dependence was flat throughout the electrode gap.
