We've heard a number of people say, "We've tried Google AdWords and it doesn't work."

Marketing and Lead Generation for the Real World
We've heard a number of people say, "We've tried Google AdWords and it doesn't work."
When we ask questions about how they used the platform, we have found these to be the most common mistakes. [Read more…]
I guess I like merit badges. I had so many of them as a Cub Scout that my mom sewed them down the tail of my shirt, which I wore untucked.
Google Certification was next, and I'm certified in Search, Display, Video, Mobile, and Shopping advertising. Also, certified in Google Analytics.
Facebook Blueprint certification was the next step, which was the most unusual testing experience that I've had.
Google AdWords is the leading online advertising platform and is based upon Google's Chrome browser, which processes 3.5 billion searches per day, world wide. This scope allows advertisers to piggyback their ads on top of relevant searches.
A common question that advertisers ask us is: "How do I carve-out a relevant portion of those 3.5 billion searches to reach my audience?" Another one is: "Why should I advertise on Google when there are so many other options (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.)?"
The answer to those questions have to do with Scale, Advertising Platform Maturity, and Audience Targeting. [Read more…]
Most business owners know the value of having a mobile-friendly website. They help attract visitors during Google's "I-want-to-know," "I-want-to-go," "I-want-to-do," and "I want-to-buy" moments.
However, it's not enough have a mobile-friendly site. Performance now rules the day. [Read more…]
Have you ever had a "missed connection?" One of those moments when you were in the right place, but at the wrong time. These missed connections can happen in marketing, too.
With Google AdWords, you can be where you need to be (online), at the moment you need to. How? With phrases that trigger your online ads to appear when potential customers are looking for companies, products, or services like yours. [Read more…]
From designing and developing websites and advertisements—to creating the content that makes them effective—we're your team.

Happy New Years once again!
Lisa and I hope that 2011 finds you in good health and cheer. Winter is deep here this year and I have shoveled more already than I did all of last year. We've spent the holidays quietly; nordic skiing almost everyday, watching movies or reading in front of the fire. Enjoying the idleness that is often so elusive in our frenetic culture. I hope your family enjoyed a peaceful holiday season as well.
2010 was a milestone for Lisa as she turned 40 in January. We celebrated the event at a yurt in the mountains near our home with our friends Matt and Mary. It was a great night and we followed it up with a weekend of skiing and hot springs soaking in Stanley, Idaho.
Springtime found us once again in Cochise Stronghold (near Tombstone, Arizona) enjoying the sunshine and warm rock. Our friends Steve and Kristen joined us there this year which added to the fun. This spring break is becoming a tradition that I think we'll be repeating again this year.
Lisa continues her volunteer work with Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief and Rescue foundation. As the only Idaho representative she is frequently involved in saving Chessies from being euthanized and helping to find them homes.
Another annual event was our camping trip with the Mueller's in June. It's such a treat to get to see the wonder in the eyes of my nephew's Alex and Stephen as they explore the outdoors. This year we met in Flaming Gorge on the Green River in northwest Utah. The heat kept us in the water much of the time but thankfully Brian brought the boat which made that easy.
The rest of the summer involved local hiking and camping as well as another backpacking trip into the Wind Rivers of Wyoming and climbing in the Tetons for me. I also entered my first trail race which I really enjoyed as it was 25 km of all trail running up and over the Grey's River range in Wyoming. Might even do another this year.
Fall brought my return to work and more local hiking for us and the dogs. I was honored locally as an Unsung Hero for prevention work with young people which was quite a flattering surprise. We also attended Kim's wedding (Lisa's sister) in Seattle which was a great weekend of fun and celebration with family.
The year rounded out with an exciting new addition to our little family. In December we purchased a 1997 Tiger ProVan CX…a truck camper we had been envying ever since seeing our first one in Costa Rica. That means Lisa spent three years researching these rigs and then figuring out how to buy one. They're quite expensive new and not many are made each year, so these older units are in high demand…within a day of the listing on a special owner's site there were 10 calls on it. That meant we had to move fast. Lisa took advantage of her ability to fly standby (thanks Kim!) and got to Seattle two days later without even seeing photos! Bella (our name for her) is a big step up for us: a fully outfitted RV that has 4 wheel drive. Oh, the places we'll go! No big plans as yet but stay tuned.
In closing, we are grateful for the opportunities we've had to enjoy our wonderful landscape here in the Northern Rockies. As usual, our dreams always seem to be a little bigger than what we can manage to achieve but that should never stop us from dreaming. We hope that you'll see some of your dreams fulfilled in this new year.
Tod and Lisa
Bodie, Allie and Josie

I am going to start off the new year with posting three of our motorhome modifications at a time. I will post repairs, modifications, or neato things we have found for RVing. I have lots of pics in my files so I will do them in alphabetical order.
Underneath that stuff, I will post my regular daily stuff..... kinda sorta fun, eh?
So here it goes, we are up to the letter C now!
Compartments:I know in my last blog, I talked about our CCC Cargo Carrying Capacity. I thought I would show you what we haul along in our rig. I had taken these pics for insurance purposes because most RV policies only carry $500 coverage on the personal contents, I kid you not! So please check your policy and ask your agent. We carry an additional rider for the rest of the possessions we carry above $500.
(this is a long one, so I will only do one *C* today instead of 3)
(this is a long one, so I will only do one *C* today instead of 3)
The basement of our rig covers a large open area and is all carpeted space, which is open side to side, and front to rear, from axle to axle. We have no slides taking up any basement area, so we are one complete wide open space. We are only limited by the width of the doors as to what we put inside. We can fit a lot more in the basement compared to the usual separate bins you see in most motorhomes.
Let's start on the driver's side. All of our stainless steel compartment doors rise upwards on struts and when shut, they lock securely on both ends instead of one latch in the middle.
I will go down the side from front to back, door by door.
Here is door number 1.
Here is door number 1.
Whoda thunk of that space above the tank as a good spot to put a long tube for stowing the stinky slinky! For those of you who do not know what a "Stinky Slinky" is, it's the flexible 3" hose used to dump the grey and black tanks…ewwwwwww We don't want to keep THAT hose in our carpeted storage basement area.
On to the next door…..
We bought an assortment of these gray totes with heavy snap on lids. They are made by HOMZ
http://www.homzproducts.com and I see that Ace Hardware carries them.
The large totes measure 30 inches long by 18 inches wide.
The smaller totes measure 18 inches long by 14 inches wide.
We like them because they have a full handle on each side, not just a lip edge that you carry by the fingertips. Also, the lid fits firmly over the top and comes way down on the sides, which does not allow anything to get into the tote. We have more than enough totes, and keep swapping out sizes back and forth as we determine our needs in the future. The extra totes we keep in our garage or my fiber storage room for now.
In this next photo below, if you look close to the center of the rig, you will see a white poly 2x4 Cosco table and a larger 3x6 heavy black folding table. Both tables slide in nicely under the space under the suspended fresh water tank. We use them for eating and serving food when boondocking at places without picnic tables. Also good for extra table space when working on crafts or doing some crazy things like canning pickles (see Runkle Lake campground review or Paint River Forks in my archives) I can use these tables for an impromptu craft sale if we want while on the road at a campground too.

Also good for extra table space when working on crafts or doing some crazy things like canning pickles (see Runkle Lake campground review or Paint River Forks in my archives) I can use these tables for an impromptu craft sale if we want while on the road at a campground too.
Here it is loaded up, each one labeled for it's contents: dog stuff, lanterns/propane stuff, picnic table and patio lights, diesel filters oil and supplies, raingear and boots, freshwater supplies, wastewater supplies, etc. and of course all of my fiber supplies and toys! When we travel for a longer length of time, I have to have storage for my fiber supplies and inventory. This is "My Space" for storage. At the far right is the plumbing compartment with all the manifold fittings for water areas in the rig and an outdoor shower.
This next door is kinda a half access on the front, but behind the water manifold section is the water pump, expansion tank and some extra plumbing. It used to be walled off, but Steveio removed the wall piece for better access. Nice to have access to that mechanical stuff instead of it being buried behind a wall. You can see the daylight from right through to the open compartment on the other side of the rig. Steve usually lays his fishing rods in this area, plus the awning rod, which is reachable from the other side.
Ahhhhh now on to the power stuff! This compartment is further back, behind the rear wheels. Everything electrical is in this compartment. We recently replaced the inverter from the old Freedom 2000W Heart (which burned out) over to this Tripplite 1500W. We also have a wired in Progressive Industries unit for surge and brownout protection.
In front of the things in the photo above, we store the power cords and adaptors for 50 amp to 30 or 20 amp if need be. Sometimes the cords get dirty from being on the ground, and it's nice to have this compartment separate from the clean carpeted center basement of the rig.
The generator is located in the far back compartment by the engine. It looks a little crooked in this photo because it was snapped when we were putting the generator back into place after having the rotor rebuilt. Rest assured, it is firmly bolted back into place now and works just fine. LOL
We don't use the generator too often, but we have to run it from time to time under a full load to exercise it. Great to have in an emergency, or to run one of the roof AC units as we are driving down the road if need be during hot summer temps. But we really appreciate the peace and quiet when camping and don't like to run it at all. So if you are a genny-fanatic, please park far far away from us?
Now that we are done with the driver's side, let's move across the front of the rig.
Inside the front compartment are all the electronic fuse boxes and grounds etc.
I had to cut and paste a few pics of it, as it won't all fit in one picture.
In here we also have a large fire extinguisher with access in emergency because this compartment does not lock. Hope we never have to use it, but it's a great location. If we are ever needing to help on an emergency on the road, it's easy to grab.
Yes we carry FIVE fire extinguishers in our motorhome:
Now on to the passenger side compartments:
These are the two most used doors near the passenger front between the side entry door and the front of the rig. We kinda packed them full, huh?
Someone asked on the blog about how does Steve fix stuff while we are on the road? Rest assured, he has ALL his tools along, even a vice that can clamp into the back hitch to work on items like an outdoor workshop.
This one is Steve's favorite compartment:
Stacked on top of the totes are our camping signs, picnic table cloth, kneeling foam pad and whatever else don't get stowed away properly as we break camp the time before.
We carry along our two zero gravity recliners, and four folding chairs for company and our two macreme lawn chairs, a few little wooden tv trays for coffee clutching too. It all fits along with some room for the patio mat behind the chairs. And Steve's big air compressor alongside the chairs.
Now we can move to the rear half of the passenger side.
The two interior entry steps into the rig to reach the main floor are the only things taking up any square footage in the basement storage area.
This door number 3 is located at the left of the entry door. In here, we have the big solar controller for the solar panels on the roof. There is also a big pull out fuse to disconnect the whole system for repairs. I like that we have an outdoor tv antenna jack here. Sometimes we carry out the inside tv to watch packer games under the awning. There are both DC and AC electrical outlets and a little light to see what we are looking for in the dark too. We also stow the 6 large planks for under the tires for leveling the rig. (not in the pic)
This next compartment is for the batteries. I talked about them more in depth a few blogs back. They are located behind the rear wheels. It is open around the sides and bottom for ventilation. There are 6 batteries in there now, but we can later move the 2 chassis (driving) batteries into a new rack in the engine compartment that Steveio made. Then we could increase the bank of coach (camping) batteries to a total of six 6volt golf cart batteries if we wish. Although with our five 100 watt solar panels that we installed, we may never need six batteries… four might be enough.
Now this last door is the cool stuff that you do not see on gas engine motorhomes. This is Steve's Control Central! He finds out all kinds of diagnostic stuff in this compartment. He can even start the engine from in here if the key is in the ignition. Pretty cool!
For those Techy Kinda Guys, here is the new head piece he re-vamped to fit the newer Fleetgard FS 1212 fuel filters that are available for our engine, now that the Racor Win 200/200 ones were discontinued.
so I will do more on the letter C tomorrow
On Sunday, we got the dogs out for a walk... only about 3 blocks, but it was enough to get some fresh air and the sidewalks were all clear and free of ice and snow. A few snowflakes were wafting down, but not enough to accumulate.
Steve saw an ad that a NEW Godfathers Pizza opened up in Sheboygan, about 33 miles away. We have been SO sad that the ones in Green Bay and Freedom closed up last year. We don't often go out to eat, and rarely ever for pizza. But I make the exception for Godfathers Classic Combo pizza. That is the only type we order from there, and love that it is the very same taste and crust etc no matter which Godfathers you patronize.
Soooo he said "Let's Go" !!!
We hopped in the car, and along the way I wanted to stop at this little thrift shop that I had heard about. It benefits hospice. Richardson Hospice Resale Store
It is a very nice resale shop,
with quality items and nicely arranged.
My bargain "score" was a hunk of Heritage brand window lace! This is very expensive lace and this big hunk was at one time $19.99 a yard. Currently it sells for $44.00 a yard!!! It is probably 35 years old, but still unused with the drapery store tag still on it. I bought the entire piece for THREE dollars!
It is an exact match for the Heritage Lace I already own. I started buying mine back in 1985 when I got my first home in Green Bay. It was so expensive back then, I could only buy one window's worth at a time. It had to be ordered a piece at a time, from a fancy drapery store in downtown Green Bay.
Saving my pennies, I could only purchase a window's worth a month from the household budget. I have swags, valances, and panels. I think back then I was paying about $60-70 a window arrangement of 2 swags and a center scalloped valance piece. When we moved to Oconto, that lace came along with me. I had it hung in all of the windows of our log house, much to Steve's chagrin. LOL And now with our 104 year old home in Chilton, the lace blends in beautifully!
I have my lace in the kitchen...
and more in the livingroom, the back hall,
some of the bedrooms,
and even in my laundry room!
Oh, while in the parking lot, we saw this next to us.
How adorable???
Now it was time to go to the Godfather's Pizza, the purpose of our journey. We slathered with our hand sanitizer and headed across town to 1006 Geele Ave https://godfathers.com/
Like I said, we always order the Classic Combo: On a thick crust, it has Pepperoni, Beef, Sausage, Onions, Black Olives, Mushrooms & Mozzarella Cheese. We ordered two large and waited for them to be prepared. This nice gal Shirley chatted with us in between customers. This is an express location combined with a gas station in a residential neighborhood. It was fun to hear her chatting with the regulars who come and go. They only took on the Godfathers franchise a few weeks ago, so many folks are coming in to try out a slice from the front hot case by the registers. We buy two large pizzas and freeze the rest to heat up a slice or two at a time in the oven (so the crust doesn't get mushy) instead of the microwave.
Here is Shirley,
with our pizzas!
Again, we slathered with our hand sanitizer and proceeded to
gobble down a slice right there in the parking lot!!!
Can't you just smell it?
That was the extent of our great journey out and about for a Sunday afternoon. Of course, when we got back home, we managed to each eat another slice for supper. LOL. The rest went into ziplock freezer bags, destined to be lunches or snacks during the next few weeks. I think trips to Sheboygan for the resale shop and Godfathers is going to be monthly thing from now on?

SHS's Most Memorable Quotes of the 2016 Campaign
By Tarini Venkat (Political Correspondent).
Regardless of your political beliefs, it cannot be denied that this election season definitely had some memorable quotes, whether they be inspiring or questionable.
Freshman Caleb Gao thinks the most important quote of the campaign was said before the election even started. During the Access Hollywood tapes, filmed in 2005, Donald Trump infamously declared, "Grab them by the *****." Gao says this quote is so memorable because "it shows how misogynistic [Trump] is."
Sophomore Benton Bohman says the most memorable quote was when Donald Trump said, "I don't care, I'm really rich," when he was explaining why he doesn't need donors or lobbyists.
"It's important because it shows this man sees the presidency as a business opportunity." Benton said.
Both senior Julianna McCann and library media specialist Mrs. Collins agree that the most memorable quote of the campaign was spoken by Hillary Clinton during one of the debates: "I think Donald Trump just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. You know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing."
Sophomore Lucy Beth says it was Trump's quote "I'm not a puppet! You're the puppet!" when Hillary Clinton accused him of being a puppet for Vladimir Putin.
Senior Phoebe McAlevey says the most memorable quote of the campaign is "definitely 'nasty woman,'" referring to what Trump called Clinton during one of the debates.
Senior Jonathan Dickerman thinks that the most memorable quote was when Trump said, "When I am president, I will work to ensure that all of our kids are treated equally and protected equally. Every action I take, I will ask myself, 'Does this make life better for young Americans in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Ferguson, who have as much of a right to live out their dreams as any other child in America?"
Junior Melodie Arya says that Ben Carson actually uttered the most memorable statement during the primaries, when he took a break from his campaign saying, "I'm going home to get some fresh clothes."
Arya says that this quote was so memorable only because "it was dumb and random."
Senior Joe Katz says the most memorable quote was "when Hillary said during the debate, 'It's just awfully good that someone that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,' and then Donald Trump responded, 'Because, you'd be in jail.'"
Humanities teacher Mr. Fazzio says he thinks Trump said the most memorable quote during his victory speech: "I say it is time for us to come together as one united people. It's time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all of Americans, and this is so important to me."
Fazzio says that if Trump doesn't keep his word, people will definitely remember this "the next time around."

LEA: It's great to be here, Sara. The conference came about when authors were asked if they had ever attended a writers' conference. There were three distinct answers coming in:
- No…can't afford it
- No…too expensive to travel
- No…have a disability and can't attend
RTF: The conference has won several awards from writing websites such as Predators and Editors. Not to mention this stellar recognition: Top 101 sites by Writers Digest!
LEA: Each of the presenters are experts in their field or fields. From award-winning authors, editors, publishers, etc…they each bring in their know-how to help educate and further enhance writers' knowledge in so many different workshop topics.
RTF: Tell us about the pitch sessions. They sound stressful to any new writer wanting to get published. Can you give writers, hoping to get published some day, any tips on what the publishers/agents are looking for?
LEA: Yes, a pitch can be nerve-wracking for sure. Lol! But the beauty of it all is that it's not a face-to-face pitch so the publishers/agents don't see the sweat pouring down. Hehe
RTF: I've gotten a peak at this year's workshops and I'm stoked to sign up and learn more about writing from these folks who have been in the business for many years.
LEA: There are so many more workshops I need to add into the website…so little time, which brings me back to that first response about my hurdles being, time not on my side.
Writers should focus on their weak areas, workshops that will help them better understand and allow them to grow. They are more than free to attend all of the workshops, but I highly advise them to focus on a few and give it their all. Attending all of the workshops in their spare time will help them evaluate whether or not a particular workshop is of interest to them. Every year there are a few attendees who didn't think this or that workshop would interest them, but they popped in to check out that forum workshop, and were pleasantly surprised to be pulled into that subject.
RTF: I understand the deadline to register for this year's conference is September 25th. Can you briefly explain the registration process for those new to The Muse Online Writers Conference?
LEA: Actually, the registration will be open until the end of September only because of my lack of time to fully update the website. The registration is quite easy and details are listed here:
RTF: Thank you Lea! And there you have it, The Muse Online Writers Conference is right around the corner, so if you haven't already, and have a desire to enhance your writing skills (no matter what your writing level) you will want to get over to the registration link above.
Maybe we'll see you there!

- Enel Soluções, an Enel Group company, is the first energy solutions firm in the country to launch its own support 24-hours;
- The portfolio includes Auto, Moto, Pet e Residential Check-up
Niterói, July 17th 2017 – Enel Soluções, the Enel company specialising in solutions within the energy sector in Brazil, launches this week the "Assistências Enel" (Enel Support) programme. The plan includes four types of support – Auto (cars); Moto; Pet (veterinary); and Residential Check-up – offered at affordable prices and that can be paid via the electricity bill or by credit card. Enel Soluções is the first energy solutions firm in the country to launch a its own support services portfolio, developed and sold by the company in partnership with Ikê Assistências, a support group with national coverage and specialised service providers – a network of around 23,000 expert service providers, selected following rigorous quality, safety, experience and ethical criteria.
The sales timeline for the support services will be split into phases: in the first, which starts next week, Enel DIstribuição Rio and Enel Distribuição Ceará customers will be able to acquire the plans and pay through their energy bills. In the second stage, payment will also be possible by credit card and residents of other regions will be able to buy the support services via the www.enelsolucoes.com.br/assistências website.
The products offered by Enel Soluções focus on technical assistance coverage. That means the customer can action a set number of calls according to each plan and, unlike insurance policies, there is no need to pay an excess fee when using the service.
The plans have varying coverage, according to each customer's profile. The Pet plan, for example, covers veterinary appointments and information about the animal's vaccines. In the Residential Check-up plan, customers can action services such as electrical installation reviews, investigation of possible leaks and even help putting up paintings and shelves. The Auto support includes coverage of electrical/mechanical breakdown, towing, keys and others. And the Moto plan covers electrical/mechanical breakdown and running out of fuel, for example. All support services include monthly draws for R$ 10,000 prizes.
Customers interested in the service can acquire their support plans through the company website – www.enelsolucoes.com.br/assistencias – or by calling 0800 600 0560.

Page 2: The market
Over recent years, there has been continuous change in the market-place for financial services. A number of the larger building societies and life assurance societies have converted to public limited companies (plc). At the same time, the range of financial service providers has fluctuated - reduced initially by mergers, then widened by the entry of new players, some of which include leading retailers. For most consumers, the pace of change and the implications of such change have been difficult to understand.
Nationwide is now the world's largest building society with seven million customers, 13,000 employees, 690 branches and assets of more than £40 billion. Nationwide is large enough and strong enough to offer a real competitive alternative to the banks. The main aim of the Society and its subsidiaries is to provide a full range of top value, quality financial services that are widely available and delivered with speed, courtesy and reliability. This aim is backed by the key values of fairness, honesty, staff importance and corporate responsibility.
Commitment to customer ownership
In order to continue offering the strongest possible competition to banks and other public limited companies, in terms of price and service, Nationwide is committed to remaining a mutual building society. This means the Society is owned by the customers as opposed to shareholders.
There are many reasons why Nationwide is committed to this approach. The absence of shareholders demanding dividends means that Nationwide can work to lower profit requirements and instead offer consistently higher rates for investors. Nationwide's championing of member ownership has aroused widespread public interest. Its policy is designed to pass the benefits of mutuality on to members - with more emphasis on customer satisfaction and business efficiency and less emphasis on profit. Nationwide wants to remain the first choice for customers who want 'membership' of a building society and as a place where people want to work. It is only by achieving this that Nationwide can consistently achieve top industry ratings.
Nationwide has improved its competitive advantage by offering improved rates, improved services and a better product range. Its business has grown from using a strategy of differentiation which has successfully communicated a range of unique benefits providing value for buyers. These strategies have been shaped by customers' views of what 'value' means to them. In practice, five factors have dominated:
- price
- range
- access
- image
- service.
As a customer owned building society, Nationwide has had the flexibility to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy, improving its savings rates across a range of products. In order to project this message, Nationwide has focused on brand development. An important part of this process is sponsorship - developing and emphasising the value represented by the Nationwide customer proposition and strengthening relationships with the wider community.

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
Our researchers work on core computational biology-related problems, including genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, and phylogenomics. We develop novel techniques that combine ideas from mathematics, computer science, probability, statistics, and physics, and we help identify and formalize computational challenges in the biological domain, while experimentally validating novel hypotheses generated by our analyses.
We are developing algorithms with improved accuracy for large-scale and complex estimation problems in phylogenomics (genome-scale phylogeny estimation), multiple sequence alignment, and metagenomics. We are exploring gene regulation—developing advanced techniques to predict the diverse function of noncoding parts of DNA and to relate interspecies and interpersonal differences in DNA to differences in the organism's form and function. We work broadly in the development of machine learning techniques for computational biology, with research spanning the areas of molecular and structural biology; networks and systems biology; and molecular mechanisms of human disease.

Vagabond Road EP on Bandcamp

Brooklyn-based emcee iLLspokinn presents the video for "The New JC", a song from Vagabond Road, the collaboration EP between iLLspokinn and French DJ/producer ZaJazza (watch the music video for "Vagabond Road"). Raised in Taunton, Massachusetts by his Cape Verdean mother, iLLspokinn has collaborated with Sadat X (listen to "A New York Minute") and Grammy award-winning vocalist Maya Azucena (listen to "Breathe"), and was named one of Rawkus' 50 next important hip-hop artists as part of his band Spokinn Movement. He regularly performs worldwide, recently at Super Bowl LI for the official NFL pre-party in Houston, the Atlantic Music Expo in Cabo Verde and the Timitar Festival in Morocco. He also performs worldwide as a DJ, regularly DJing NBA events. "Last Call" his 2011 collaboration with Marsal Ventura, Jordi Vèliz & Aritz, remained at #1 on Barcelona's FlaixFm dance charts for fourteen weeks (listen), and his single "Here We Go Again" has been featured on The Mindy Project, Rob Dyrdeck's Fantasy Factory and Alpha House as well as Winter Olympics coverage. iLLspokinn is producer, host and co-founder of Freestyle Mondays, one of New York City's longest-running hip-hop events, and is co-founder of Urban Art Beat, which partners artists and volunteers with underserved schools and organizations. Based in Lyon after spending several years in New York, Dubai and Latin America, ZaJazza has collaborated with Homeboy Sandman (stream "Grown Folk Biz), performed alongside Quantic and Andy Smith of Portishead, was named Middle East DJ Champion in 2014, and has had his music used in FIFA World Cup coverage (ZaJazza on Bandcamp). "The New JC" is directed by Mtume Gant, the emcee/director currently touring in support of his second short film White Face. "As a teenager I was warned by my pops about the police force and how to act to stay alive," iLLspokinn says about the track. "I was told that I may be treated differently and it wasn't until it really happened that it sunk in. It's important that people know that this conversation still has to happen today. I also wrote about my personal experiences with my family for the first time on record. I grew up in a Cabo Verde/American household. Cabo Verde is an African island country that was colonized by the Portuguese. A lot of Cape Verdeans identify with being Portuguese and not African, and that is an issue. That colonized mindset, like in a lot of cultures, carries on through generations and it affects the darker-skinned folk of that group. I also address the struggle of having close family members in the police force. I know they are good humans but I'm aware of what that badge stands for in a lot of our communities. We do NOT live in a post-racial society."

Sorrow is universal. Anyone who can feel knows how tragic life is. If you want to leave suffering behind you have to stop living. Quite often though, sorrow is something we create and magnify by our own actions and attitude, which is why I turned the central sword into a figure, whose face is also the pierced heart. It struck me when I was playing with the design that the way the swords entered the heart looked like eyes and a mouth. Often these ideas are generated visually, by playing with forms. I also thought that the two heavy downward pointing swords were like two options or two conflicting desires that cause the pain by being impossible to reconcile, which harks back to the common idea of trouble in three way relationships. And also to the attribution of Saturn in Libra. We all know how hard it is for Librans to make up their minds.

This design is exceptional!
And how true: all sentient beings experience sorrow. The Buddah has been quoted as saying: "the law of death is that among all living creatures there is no permanence." Although this insight does not eliminate the inevitable suffering that comes from loss such as death, it can (if we choose to allow it to) reduce the suffering that comes from struggling against this fact of life. Freedom from suffering, like freedom from anything, starts with accepting the very thing one is seeking freedom from (eg suffering) as a fact of human existence. Moreover, one of the great truths of life is that nothing is permanent, including suffering/sorrow. "It will pass" is one of my well used mantras.
I so agree with your interpretation of the two swords as two options or two conflicting desires that cause pain by being impossible to reconcile. When people are unable to accept what has happened, people often look to external sources (the third party) to cease their sorrow. This causes even more pain because looking externally for the solution is impossible to reconcile with the required internal acceptance of suffering as a universal human phenomena.

Yes, yes … and I think that the dichotomy between the higher self and the ego is most acutely accentuated in the context of sorrow/grief.

Fix LoTW integration again.
If the MySQL library isn't explicitly initialized, the mysql library will
end up calling EVP_cleanup() while detecting the MySQL version, which
clobbers the OpenSSL context, preventing LoTW (and perhaps ClubLog)
integration from working properly.
Look in ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/ for MySQL and MariaDB libraries.
Only look for .so file, don't look for "any" SONAME.
Update to latest release, use preferred OpenSSL libs.
CQRLOG does *not* work with the version of OpenSSL in 10.4. This only seems
to impact the LoTW integration though, so I don't think it needs to be
marked as broken with that version.
Also, update all the patches to use makepatch.

Scene: Rooftop
Neo sets down Fry, Leela and Bender.
Fry: Thanks for saving us from that explosion Neo.
Neo: Don't mention it.
Fry: But I feel like it.
Neo: Come one, she's waiting for you.
Fry: "She's waiting...." Who?
Neo: The Oracle.
Fry: The... THE ORACLE?
Neo: Yes.
Fry: Why does she want to meet me? I'm just a delivery boy.
Neo: She knows more about you than you can ever imagine.
Fry: Are you guys coming with me?
Neo: No. They stay. Only you can see her.
Fry walks in the door and down a hallway where there is one door on the side.
He feels she might be in there. Before he opens it, it opens by itself.
Fry: Weird.
He walks in to see a man wrapped in some kind of karate suit. He takes a sip
of water and gets up.
Man: Hello, I and Seraph before i take you to the Oracle, I must apoligize.
Fry: For what?
Seraph: For this.
Seraph lunges at Fry and a fight begins. Blow after blow, block after block.
Fry is getting a upper hand. He throws Seraph into a wall and is about to finish
him off until he stops him.
Seraph: Stop. Good. The Oracle has many enemies, I had to make sure.
Fry: Of what?
Serpah: That you are the one they call Fry.
Fry: Well, you could've said "Hey, what's your name?" and I would
say "I'm Fry."
Seraph: Come, she is waiting.
Seraph takes Fry down another hallway and to another door.
Seraph: She's in there.
Fry: Thanks.
Seraph: I hope we meet again.
Fry: I don't know. Mabye I'll want a rematch
Sreaph grins and opens the door and Fry walks in. He walks into a empty room,
nothing but a couch and a regular 20th century TV in there. Fry then walks into
the kitchen where he sees a woman sitting there with her back to him, waiting
for something.
Fry: Hello?
Woman: Sit down child.
Fry: Um....where.
Woman: There's a chair right next to you.
Fry: OK.
He sits down. The woman turns around, it's the Oracle.
Oracle: Let me have a look at you.(she inspects him a bit) Your more handsome
than I thought.
Fry: Um...Thanks....I guess.
Oracle: I can see why she likes you.
Fry: Who?
Oracle: Not too smart though.
Fry: So Neo tells me you know everything.
Oracle: Well...not everything. But the important thing is the questions you
have for me.
Fry: Right. One question is....why am I stronger here than in the real world?
Oracle: Oh. That's a tough one. You have a gift Fry. Everyone does. In the
matrix, everyone's special gift is let out, once you belive in it. You have to....free
your mind.
Fry: Free my mind? Are you saying that if I free my mind, I could become stronger
than Neo?
Oracle: Well, you beat him today didn't you?
Fry: Well yeah. But I thought I was just lucky.
Oracle: Luck has nothing to do with it. You beat him fair and square. You believed
you are stronger than him, therefore, you beat him. But...that won't help you
down the road.
Fry: What? What's going to happen.
Oracle: You know what's going to happen.
Fry: No I don't.
Oracle: Yes you do. You seen it in your dreams.
Fry chokes a bit.
Oracle: What did you see?
Fry: Don't you already know?
Oracle: I wouldn't be much of an oracle if I didn't. I just want to hear it
from you.
Fry: I.......See Leela. She seems to be in some kind of gunfight, i'm not really
sure. But then....she gets shot. And she falls. Deeper and deeper into darkness.
I thought it was just a nightmare, just once and that's it. But the dream kept
coming every night. Now it's all I think about.
Oracle: Fry. That time will come, much sooner than you think.
Fry: Are you saying that Leela will die.
Oracle: Yes but you can stop it.
Fry: How? How can I stop it?
Oracle: By sacrificing your life, to save her's.
Fry: Fine then, I die, she lives. I love her, and i'll give my life for her.
Oracle: It's not that easy Fry. If you die, it could mean the destruction of
Fry: How's that possible? Neo can stop it from happening any time. It's not
like I'm the most important person in the universe or some thing (The Oracle looks
at him with a look on her face) You're kidding me. First I save the world from
giant brains, then I become my own grandfather, now, i'm the only person in the
universe who can stop the universe being destroyed by a machine? All I was doing
was delivering a package!!
Oracle: The package is what's important. Than package can stop the inevitable
from happening.
Fry: What?
Oracle: The package contains a disk.
Fry: A disk?
Oracle: Yes. Thak disk holds the key to the future of the matrix. Once you
download it. Every person hooked up to the matrix will be freed instantly, destroying
the machines. Once freed and taken care of, they will be brought to the surface,
where they will live among you.
Fry: And what happens to you?
Oracle: Well....I'm a program, and all programs must be deleted.
Fry: But.
Oracle: Fry. I know what your about to say. Your a sweet kid. And i know you
don't want to take a life, but face it, I'm not human. I'm no diffrent than any
other program here. But it's also the only way to defeat Agent Smith.
Fry: Yeah, he has been bothering me.
Oracle: Fry, you must get that disk downloaded as soon as possible. Otherwise,
it will be the end of the universe as we know it.(checks her watch) Our time is
Fry: That's it? But there's another question, I want to know if...
Oracle: She does love you. And she will tell you, in time.
Fry smiles a bit.
Oracle: I'm sorry to bring bad news. But It was nice talking to you.
Fry: It was nice talking to you.
Fry walks to the door and exits.
Oracle: Good luck kiddo.

As the observant among you may have noticed last week, for the first time since I became editor at the Bath Chronicle - and indeed since I started this blog - I did not have my regular weekly column in the paper uploaded here. Indeed the words "Sam Holliday is away" were printed at the bottom of where my column usually sits in the Chronicle. You may have felt that I was sunning myself in Barbados instead or, perhaps more likely in my case, that I was travelling around the UK following my beloved old punk heroes The Stranglers.
Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth – for this time last week I was actually arranging the funeral of my mother.
I've agonised about writing about this for a few days but as I think columnists should talk about their community but also about the shared experiences we all have within them, I decided I wanted to say something.
None of you reading this knew my mother. She lived 120 miles away for a start and was actually very quiet and somewhat shy so the chances are even if you lived a few doors away, you may not have known her.
But like most wonderful mothers the world over, she was a good, honest, decent, caring lady who was passionate about her family and proud of their achievements in that quiet, don't-like-to-brag way that typified her generation.
Her passing came suddenly. Yes, she was in her mid-80s (she had me at the somewhat later age of 40) and she had been ill 12 months prior to her passing, but she had seemed to have been through the worst of it and was now happy living in a council sheltered home with one hand almost permanently on the telephone to keep in touch with the outside world. Her death, therefore, came out of the blue but was thankfully peaceful and quiet in a way that probably summed up her whole life.
The reality is none of us quite knows how to handle death, even though it is the one thing that unites the whole of humanity. In what I guess is a rather typical man's way of dealing with things, I decided to act all busy last week by sorting out all the arrangements, writing letters, placing death notices, contacting old friends, etc, to keep the grieving process at bay.
I then, after just three days, came back here to the office because I thought that would help, although in reality I think I came back too soon. People have been very kind and supportive but nobody knows what to say to me, I don't know what to say to them and there has been much evidence of tiptoeing around emotions in that classic English way.
Tomorrow, Friday, May 1, is the funeral, a big hurdle for any family member and, for some reason, I said that I would like to say something. Some of you will know that I do enjoy public speaking on occasions but I'm still not sure that this is one talk I will be able to do because just as none of us knows how to react to death, coping with funerals is another one of life's great uncertainties.
Inevitably perhaps, I feel sad while even writing this but I don't want it to be that way because my mom (I like to think) had a very good life and had, what we always call a very good innings, so I think celebration rather than mourning should be the order of the day.
But I know I will miss her – and I know I'll regret the times I didn't call or didn't visit – and I'm confident that she's in a happy place now and one day we'll be able to discuss the football scores and why we both don't like Bruce Forsyth once again at our leisure.
Rest in peace mom.

Albeit not a
positive emotion, and despite emphasis on its avoidance
it is sometimes a justified one which we all
exhibit from time to time. Anger shows that we are
sentient beings reacting to the often difficult lives
that we all lead, the hurts and frustrations.
It is part of the many facets that make us who we are,
but is anger an emotion peculiar to ourselves or is it
an emotion that we share with other animals.
On a physical
level it is obvious that animals have the capacity for
anger as we share the same neuro-chemicals, such as
serotonin and testosterone, and brain structures, such
as the hypothalamus that are important in the expression
and feeling of anger, aggression and revenge.*1
It is notorious that Bees express certain emotions, as
of anger, by the tone of their humming; and according to
H. Muller (p. 80), the males of some species make a
peculiar singing noise whilst pursuing the females.
Darwin The Descent of Man
As you may
have read in other sections Darwin considered that
animals have emotions, the following are further examples
from his book the Descent of Man.
Discussing the
new art of barking, according to Darwin Dogs did
not bark prior to domestication and selective breeding,
he describes the various types of bark for different
situations and to express different emotions including
barking is a new art, no doubt the wild parent-species
of the dog expressed their feelings by cries of various
kinds. With the domesticated dog we have the bark of
eagerness, as in the chase; that of anger, as
well as growling; the yelp or howl of despair, as when
shut up; the baying at night; the bark of joy, as when
starting on a walk with his master; and the very
distinct one of demand or supplication, as when wishing
for a door or window to be opened. According to Houzeau,
who paid particular attention to the subject, the
domestic fowl utters at least a dozen significant
mentions also the possible display of anger by the males
of migratory locusts of Russia and Chiasognathus (a
genus of stag beetle Argentina and Chile).
With respect
to the migratory locusts of Russia, Korte has given an
interesting case of selection by the female of a male.
The males of this species (Pachytylus migratorius)
whilst coupled with the female stridulate from anger
or jealousy, if approached by other males.
stridulate under various emotions, in the same manner as
birds use their voices for many purposes besides singing
to their mates. The great Chiasognathus stridulates in
anger or defiance; many species do the same from
distress or fear, if held so that they cannot escape;
Darwin also
considered that voices of birds and monkeys reflected
their emotional state:
With birds the
voice serves to express various emotions, such as
distress, fear, anger, triumph, or mere
Even monkeys
express strong feelings in different tones— anger
and impatience by low,—fear and pain by high notes.
Some dogs and
horses are ill-tempered, and easily turn sulky; others
are good-tempered; and these qualities are certainly
inherited. Every one knows how liable animals are to
furious rage, and how plainly they shew it. Many, and probably true, anecdotes have been
published on the long-delayed and artful revenge of
various animals. The accurate Rengger, and Brehm state that the
American and African monkeys which they kept tame,
certainly revenged themselves. Sir Andrew Smith, a
zoologist whose scrupulous accuracy was known to many
persons, told me the following story of which he was
himself an eye- witness; at the Cape of Good Hope an
officer had often plagued a certain baboon, and the
animal, seeing him approaching one Sunday for parade,
poured water into a hole and hastily made some thick
mud, which he skilfully dashed over the officer as he
passed by, to the amusement of many bystanders. For long
afterwards the baboon rejoiced and triumphed whenever he
saw his victim.

Angry Crows
New research
reveals that crows get angry and have excellent memories
Upset a crow
and he or she will get angry and will remember your face
for five years or more and take action against you with
the aid of other crows scolding and forming
mobs of vengeful birds.
In addition to
anger it is interesting to note that crows learn not
only by direct experience but also through social means
as the information relating to perceived miscreants
spreads throughout entire crow communities.
Since the mob
members also then indirectly learn about the threatening
person, the findings demonstrate how just a single
crow's bad experience with a particular human can spread
information about this individual throughout entire crow
Given that
crows have impressive memories, people who ruffle the
feathers of these birds could experience years of
Bothered crows may at first "give harsh calls, which we
call 'scolds' that attract other crows who are nearby to
join in the mob," according to study co-author John
Marzluff. "The mob of two to 15 birds hounds us,
sometimes diving from the sky to within a few meters or
less -- This pursuit lasts about 100 meters (328 feet) as
we walk away."

Although the

of a loss of life, it does demonstrate that animals can
get angry and a mountain goat that we may normally
envision as non dangerous may become a killer albeit
probably without intention.
An hiker in
the Olympic National Park was gored to death by a
mountain goat. While the party of three were taking a
break to rest they were joined by an agitated mountain
goat who pawed the ground and bleated menacingly before
following the group as they continued their trek. While
his companions went ahead the experienced hiker used to
handling wild goats stayed behind while the goat walk by
him until suddenly the animal launched an attack
lowering his horns he gorged the hiker in the thigh,
severing an artery he bleed to death within minutes.

Animals become angry in the same way humans do. We share
common neuro-chemicals, such as serotonin and
testosterone, and brain structures, such as the

feeling of anger, aggression and revenge.
It's easy to identify anger and aggression, too. Even

when they are agitated. Birds can display tremendous
Researcher Irene Pepperberg studied Alex, a clever grey
parrot, for decades, and noted that when something

Rabbits get angry
Rabbits live in a social group
like chimps or humans and have a highly developed social
order. They use sounds, scents and body language to
communicate. They are extremely sensitive, extremely
loving, but they also get angry like no other 'pet'.
Dogs will lay a pile on your bed, but rabbits will get
angry and express anger right at you. They will nip, and
if they really don't trust you or have been badly
mistreated they will bite. If their nails are too long
you can get badly scratched. If your bunny is angry,
hold something up to his teeth that he can express his
anger on such as a piece of newspaper, a towell or
something. Let him vent for awhile. Wear gloves and
sleeves if necessary and avoid the head.
Rabbits most
certainly get angry. Our adopted rabbit does not like
having to come indoors at night during he winter and can
get quiet agitated lashing out with her paws though she
never bites. She does sometimes growl.

About four years ago, the markets had a "taper tantrum" when the Fed announced it would start slowing the pace of quantitative easing, as its security purchases are known. Do you expect a similar reaction when the Fed announces it's going to start shrinking its balance sheet?
Gemma: The Fed learned a powerful lesson in 2013 on the need to exhaustively communicate major shifts in policy and to do so well in advance of implementation. The seemingly offhand announcement of the shift from unlimited quantitative easing to raising short-term interest rates caught the market by surprise. Long-term rates shot higher, hurting financial conditions, especially for the housing market. It took many months to calm market fears, which reinforced the need for the Fed to be slow, gradual, and transparent with its policy guidance when interest rates are so close to zero.
Andrew: We would expect the impact on markets from the Fed's trimming its balance sheet to be relatively small and front-loaded, occurring largely when the announcement is made. However, the market reaction this time should be mitigated by the groundwork the Fed has laid in communicating its intentions. As Gemma said, the taper tantrum was initiated by a surprise comment about reducing the pace of purchases, which reset investor expectations for the size of the balance sheet, the length of time that rates would remain near zero, and many other factors. This time, though, the Fed has been more up front in communicating potential policy changes.
Earlier this year, several Fed policymakers, including Chair Janet Yellen, William Dudley, and one of the more dovish among them, Lael Brainard, spoke in general terms about the possible timing and implementation of a wind-down. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) shared more detailed discussions of a framework to do so in the minutes of its May meeting released a few weeks ago, and we will probably get more clarity from Yellen's press conference on Wednesday.
What's your best guess about when the Fed might begin unwinding its balance sheet?
Andrew: We know that the Fed's actions are data-dependent, so if expectations remain in place for the economy to continue strengthening, the labor market to keep tightening, and inflation to move closer to the Fed's target of 2%, further policy action can be expected. The pace of monetary policy normalization will remain slow and steady, however, and the Fed will probably use only one "tool" at a time at first—either rate hikes or balance-sheet reductions. I say that because there's broad acknowledgement that its bond purchases to bolster economic conditions were unprecedented, so it would be prudent for the Fed to proceed with reducing those holdings gradually while putting rate hikes on the back burner in order to evaluate the real-world impact.
So to answer your question, our base-case scenario is that we may see another rate hike in June before the Fed pauses to finalize, communicate, and then implement a balance-sheet reduction program. In our view, that's all likely to occur before year-end.
And how might the Fed go about doing it?
Andrew: The Fed's thinking on how to cut its holdings has evolved. As early as 2011, when it started formulating a plan for an eventual reduction, sales of securities were in the mix. Since then, however, expectations about the optimal size of the balance sheet have risen significantly, meaning the Fed can probably reduce its $2.75 trillion in Treasuries and $1.75 trillion in mortgage-backed securities simply by letting them mature—an approach that would be less disruptive, especially to the mortgage market, than outright asset sales.
The Fed's ultimate goal is to have such a roll-off program run passively in the background in a gradual and predictable manner with minimal market impact.
A cap system floated at the FOMC's May meeting seemed to have broad support among its members. Under that system, a specific dollar amount of maturing securities would be allowed to roll off the balance sheet each month. If all goes well, that dollar cap could be increased quarterly until the optimal balance-sheet level—which wasn't disclosed—is reached.
The Fed would have more than enough securities maturing in the near term to reduce the balance sheet to a reasonable level. About $1.4 trillion in Treasuries alone—more than half of the Fed's Treasury holdings—will reach maturity over the next five years.
Andrew mentioned that the Fed will be trying not to disrupt the bond market as it lightens its balance sheet, but is that possible given how much debt it is likely to unload? And what might it mean for investors?
Gemma: How successful the Fed will be in winding down its real-world monetary policy experiment without roiling the market or the economy remains to be seen. Allowing holdings to mature will not in and of itself push interest rates or mortgage rates higher. Moreover, adopting a very transparent forward-guidance strategy could help the Fed mitigate the potential policy impact, while allowing interest rates to be driven by the pace of economic activity and the future path of policy rate hikes.
What may potentially impact the market is how the Treasury will fund the deficit without the Fed's purchases over the long run. The Fed is not price-sensitive when it buys bonds, but market-based buyers will be. As a result, once the cumulative reduction in the balance sheet becomes significantly large, long-term risk premium could rise if the Treasury issues more long-maturity bonds, pushing up the yield on longer-dated securities. We expect the impact to be less than what we saw with the taper tantrum, as the U.S. remains an attractive investment opportunity for global investors.
It is important for investors to look past short-term volatility and adhere to long-term investment strategies. And keep in mind that higher rates, if they were to occur, allow for reinvestment of maturing bonds and cash flows at higher rates, resulting in higher yields on your bond holdings.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest.

Trivia Night – Simchat Torah Style
The Well likes to do things a little differently … so it's bringing a Torah to the pub and playing trivia — Simchat Torah style!
Simchat Torah (the holiday celebrating the completion and beginning anew of the annual Torah reading cycle) is meant to be a LOUD and JOYOUS occasion, and The Well wants to celebrate with Metro Detroit's young professional crowd this Thursday, Oct. 12, from 7-9 p.m. at Fifth Avenue Royal Oak (215 Fifth Ave.).
Join The Well, friends from Temple Israel and the NEW Royal Oak Moishe House crew for a night of pub trivia, and a chance to get up close and personal with the Torah ("We're legit going to unroll the entire scroll!" The Well says).
"We'll make sure you're well-fed and have access to some great drink specials, along with some great professionally led trivia (with some appropriately Jewy Q's mixed in) due to the generosity of donors," according to The Well, who adds that people are free to form their own super teams of up to 8 people beforehand, or join forces with folks that theymeet on the spot.
Let Matt know if you'll be there at email@example.com.
