I don't know how to date. No one taught me unless you count watching the entire Sex and the City. My parents are from a culture where you don't really get to know your future spouse until the deposit for the wedding has been paid.
Early last year I was talking with a friend, she was telling me about this dating app for celebrities only. She couldn't remember the name. "Raya?" I suggested. How do you know about it she countered. I've been on it a while.
How did YOU get on it?
Rude, but the subtext that I'm nobody, which I am. So is she, and maybe you are too. Unfortunately for her, I am a very well-connected nobody. The same nobody who was going to give her my "Friend Pass." It was hers until she wounded my delicate ego. I got my Friend Pass from a navel-gazing actress acquaintance. She swore the app off, after having a fling fizzle out spectacularly. He took her on an island vacation after love-bombing her for weeks. Only to ghost her and elope with another woman less than 2 months later.
I've tried several dating apps in the last five years. I was on Tinder early, as a friend in the startup world briefly worked there. Bumble came onto the scene when I was in a long-term live-in relationship that would end with me dismantling and hiding a gun.
With some internet friends, I joined The League. They had us on a waiting list of ten thousand plus. The app's waiting chat room housed the hollow cries people who were told their Ivy League degrees were enough.
Raya expects you to have a well-curated Instagram account, creative or moneyed life, and career. There are two options for being on Raya – you can be open to a relationship or marked "only here for friends." An alternative for those in a romantic relationship but interested in collaborating creatively, whatever that means. I guess it's plausible deniability for being on the app as a married man. Although to be fair, there were a fair number of people looking for someone to platonically give them their big break.
An important feature is Raya is that you can't screenshot. I had heard about it but didn't confirm until I came across a talk show host that my mom adores. I took a screenshot without thinking like I was on Tinder, and I saw a guy posing with a tiger.
As I went through the "friends" section, I would see some of my 90s crushes on the app. Some washed up, some still thriving. I swipe right for all of them. Most of the men I saw on the app that were notable were married. I'm sure we could give a bunch of them the benefit of the doubt that they were signed up by one of the app's celebrity investors to provide it cache. Some might not even know how to use it. But some of them definitely know what they're doing.
Unlike old Tinder, you can't swipe on everyone until you find your future ex. You're served anywhere from 8-15 people each time you open the app. If you're not in a city with a large population of users like Los Angeles or New York, then you'll cycle through all the potential people in your area within a few weeks.
The women I saw on the app seemed to be 21-32 years old. The men looked to be older overall, but that may be because I'm 37 and were getting served with other olds. Although once in a while, there was a glitch, and I would get served the same 21 DJ brah from Amsterdam. Careers varied from Instagram influencers to startup founders. A good helping of the hottest people in their hometown and reality show cast members. Then there were the bonafide A-listers. It took me a while to find them, but they were there. It was like a game you had to level up in. You have to talk to one YouTuber, three "founders," and 2 Instagram models before you get to speak to that sitcom star from the 90s. You have to have a foreign sports star tell you you're cute over and over without furthering the conversation. You google him, find out he's married, and already embroiled in a cheating scandal in the tabloids. Block. I don't want to get murdered by a WAG, I want them on my social media accusing each other of sabotage.
I talk to another international sports star, this one is unmarried and long retired. He seemed like a sweetie. I wasn't sure if he knew how to use the app. He mostly writes, "hi," tells me I'm pretty and asks about my day. Repeat a few times over a week.
If you're a nobody like me, with low self-esteem but stoned delusions of grandeur, the app is a perfect ego boost. When I was twenty, I was an assistant at a financial magazine in London. I worked with a few other people from the States, including a Dana, girl a few years older than me, who recently graduated college on the East Coast. She had a boyfriend who had graduated from law school and bought a home for them to live in. She wasn't ready, she came to London to sow her wild oats before getting engaged. Her boyfriend was ok with it as long as she didn't get into a serious relationship and came back home to the US. She was enjoying London, dating men, and women. Exploring her sexuality in a pre-social media world where anything couldn't get back to her real life.
I was recounting the trouble I was having with two men. One of whom I was interested in and the other who was involved in me. Play with both of them, Dana ordered me. Use them as ego boosts.
The guy I was interested in ended up breaking up with me after 3 dates because he said if we went any further, it would turn into a serious relationship. He didn't have time for one of those. The other guy, Chris, I would go out with twice after he begged me to give him a chance. At the end of our first date, he told me casually that everyone in his family does drugs on the regular. His mom does speed to lose weight; his dad, uncle, and gran did a few lines each weekend.
Imagine blowing lines with your grandmother. No one in my family even drinks alcohol and RIP my beloved Nana never had a cup of coffee.
He told me that a lot of people I worked with "partied" too. Like my boss and some of my colleagues. They would come over to party and once they had a giant table full of coke like Scarface. Imagining these anemic nerds cosplaying Pacino in Topshop jeans on a Sunday morning, was almost too much for me to bear. You don't believe me, he goaded me. Next time your boss, Katie, walks to the bathroom – go at the same time as her. She doing a bump!
Our second date, Chris, left me alone in his North London flat to run an errand. I assume racking up lines on his grandfather's headstone? Before he left, he told me to make myself at home – but under no circumstances should I open this closet in his living room. I said, sure. He looked paranoid enough that I could get a contact high. As soon as he left, and I could see his motorcycle in the distance. I headed right to that closet.
I opened the closet pensively. What is Chris paranoid about? Should I leave? Why is he always sweating? Does coke make you sweat?
I opened the door to find three giant blocks wrapped in plastic. They were stacked like those alphabet blocks kids have. If those blocks were two cubic feet made of blow. Like nesting dolls of plastic and powder bound with tape.
I closed the door. Made a cup of tea. Sat on the sofa and read my book. Chris arrived back in an hour as he said. He was even more sweaty than before. He kept looking me in the eye. Is everything good? Yep. Was this some sort of test? We made out, and I felt less than nothing. I wasn't attracted THAT attracted to him. He had persuaded me to date him, and I was a big dummy that was susceptible to marketing.
I took the tube home, I didn't want to be around him. I wasn't into him. He was chaotic and not in the proper way. I was on a working holiday visa, I wanted to have fun – not get stuck with this weirdo.
I would then use the excuse that many men would use on men in the future – is that I wasn't looking for anything serious. He was annoyed. He cried. He mean-mugged me at work. I followed my boss into the bathroom soon after he advised me to. Sure enough, many of my coworker's bathroom trips were to take in some mid-day bumps after tea. All supplied by Chris.
Chris got over me soon enough. One day, after I had gone to lunch with Dana. I get an instant message from Chris asking me to meet him at the second local pub after work. That's the pub you go to when you don't want your coworkers to see you at the true local we went to every Thursday and Friday.
I heard you went to lunch with Dana, Chris approached me confrontationally.
Yeah, we're friends at work. We sit near each other.
I'm interested in her. Don't tell her there was anything between us, or I'll get rid of you.
Rid of me? Like get me fired or really get rid of me?
Chris looked like he was going to hiss at me.
For some stupid reason, I called this nuts bluff.
I'll put your whole family in jail.
Yeah, I wasn't going to call the bobbies on anyone. I just really wanted to be out of his eye-line forever.
The rest of my time in London, I learned how to drink. Took a train the North to watch a regatta. I went to Spain and Portugal on bank holidays. Dated a Kiwi who was like a broke Patrick Bateman. I left my short life in London a few months later to backpack around Europe for three months. I heard a few years later that Dana and Chris got together. She got hooked on blow and broke up with her fiancé. She broke their open relationship deal within 3 months of arriving in London. He wanted to forgive her and move on. She declined, she loved Chris and cocaine.
After the MeToo movement, there was a sharp decrease in the celebs in the app. I assume some were trying to lay low instead of messaging a 21-year-old model from Instagram.
I heard an anecdote a year or two ago, about a formerly A-list now-classic eighties actor who was active on many dating apps, including Raya. He's one of those guys that it becomes apparent he has a type. He moved his dating app chats to a standalone chatting app. While trying to send a message to the women to tell them he was taking a break from being online – he accidentally sends a giant group chat. Then all the women began chatting. He exited the conversation as soon as he realized what he had done, so about 1 minute later. As the women found out they had a lot in common, they all lived in different cities: London, New York, Los Angeles. Some of the women ended up getting together for drinks, and legend has it; they still have a group chat going and have become good friends. I love that for them.
Due to the low volume of people on the app and the fact that I'm a Capricorn. I cycled through everyone pretty quickly.
I would end up talking to a comedian I admired and a director whose work I was familiar with. They were both single. I checked independently and did a quick skim of their Instagram tagged photos.
It was never a good time for the comedian and I. We talked on and off for a few months, but both were in chaotic depressive times in our lives and never could meet up. I felt like the fact that I wasn't in "the biz," I wasn't attractive to him. I was just a nobody on the fringes.
After caretaking for my mom while she had her jaw wired shut for two months, I moved to the most eastern part of Los Angeles County to get away from myself. I loved my loft. It had central air and heating. I had to buy a microwave for the first time in a decade. Much like Sonja Morgan, I am a wizard with a toaster oven.
I got back on Raya, I matched with a director that wasn't well known, but his work was in a particular niche I enjoyed. We exchanged a few intro questions, and then he asked for my phone number. After playing phone tag for a few days, we finally got on the phone together. I googled him to make sure he was divorced like he said he was. He had two kids. He complimented me on my art and then asked me where I lived. I told him my temporary living situation, but that I owned a home in a sleepy beach suburb in LA County.
Him: Oh, that's so cool. I love the beach, I've always wanted to live there.
Me: Yeah, it's beautiful. I miss it.
Him: What's your place like? Is it close to the water? Ocean views? I've wanted to live at the beach my whole life.
Me: Yeah, it's a block from the water. No ocean views, there's a lot of multi-story buildings along the shoreline. Where do you live?
Him: I live in Hollywood now, I have a small house I rent, so I'm close to my kids. There's a lot of condos in your area?
Me: Yeah, my place in a condo.
Him: Oh, wow. Condos are so small. I could never live in one. I don't know how you do it. I don't think I could move in with someone who didn't live in a house.
Me: Uhh, it works for me.
Him: Well, you live really far away right now. I never even heard of the city you live in now. Maybe when you move back to the beach, we could hang out. My kids love to hang out there. Are you thinking of buying a house instead of a condo?
Me: Have you ever owned a home?
Him: No.
Me: Ok, well, I guess I live too far away! Take care.
We hadn't even scheduled a first date, and this supposedly successful guy a decade older than me was casing my home. Disappointed that a woman he hadn't yet met didn't have a suitable dream home for him.
I downloaded Bumble. I was not an ingenue who was living in a bungalow in Santa Monica paid for by my stage mother. I set an intention to become the second wife of a French man who lives in NELA (North-East Los Angeles). This was a stupid intention because most of the French ex-pats live on the Westside, where they work for startups and shop at Erewhon.
I went on two first dates in the same week. One with a never-married schoolteacher from France and a recently separated painter from NELA. I got engaged to the painter 15 months later. I stayed on Raya until just before I got to wear my ring because "when I have no ring, I am free" and to keep being that well-connected nobody.


text: A study using a driving simulator suggests that adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who were distracted while driving demonstrated more variability in speed and lane position than adolescents without ADHD. While adolescents as a group are at increased risk for motor vehicle crashes (MVCs), those diagnosed with ADHD have an even greater risk. Patients with ADHD have higher rates of MVCs and experience greater tactical and operational driving impairments than their counterparts without ADHD, according to the study background. Megan Narad, M.A., of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and colleagues studied 61 adolescents ages 16 to 17 years of age with ADHD (n=28) and without ADHD (n=33) during simulated driving under three conditions: no distraction, cell phone conversation, and texting. "Driving deficits related to ADHD appear to impact specific driving behaviors, namely, variability in speed and lane position. Because both maintaining a consistent speed and central, consistent lane position require constant attention to the road and one's surroundings, the pattern of our findings are not surprising," the authors comment. The study notes there appeared to be no ADHD-related deficits for average speed, braking reaction time or likelihood of crash. However, the study suggests that texting "significantly impairs" the driving performance of all adolescents and increases existing driving-related impairment in adolescents with ADHD. "In conclusion, this study clearly demonstrates that both an ADHD diagnosis and texting while driving present serious risks to the driving performance of adolescents. There is a clear need for policy and/or intervention efforts to address these risks," the authors conclude. * Story Source: The JAMA Network Journals Study Reference: Published by JAMA Pediatrics, a JAMA Network publication.

Hopeful News on Job Creation
Minnesota received hopeful economic news today about our continued recovery. In May we created 5,600 jobs according to the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). This is the first time since 2008 we've seen two consecutive months of job growth.
Since the low point of the recession in September of 2009, we have created over 34,200 jobs. The road to recovery will be long, and not without setbacks, but it's clear Minnesota is finally moving in the right direction.
Minnesotans are also making their way back to a full work week, an important economic indicator for a healthy economy. The average week increased to 33.1 hours. That is a boost from the 32.7 hours in January 2010.
Legislation we passed this session will help accelerate our recovery. Our bonding will put thousands of construction jobs across many different sectors. New workers will help improve our infrastructure and encourage entrepreneurship throughout Minnesota.
It will take time for our economy back to recover fully, but we're on our way. We need to continue being proactive at the state level and pursue innovative reforms to create jobs and build our new economy for a successful future.

Learn how small businesses can take advantage of federal health care reform
The crushing cost of health insurance for small businesses was one of the driving forces for federal health care reform. Now that it's law, it's important for small business owners to know how they will be affected by reforms to address cost, unpredictable premiums, and lack of access to affordable choices.
The Small Business Majority (a non-partisan national non-profit organization created by small business owners) has released helpful information for small business owners to understand how federal health care reform will impact them.
They have also created a Small Business Calculator where small business owners can calculate the tax credit they will receive by offering health insurance to their employers
Here are a few of the significant ways federal health care reform will support small businesses:
Lower costs
• Small business tax credits - Creates a $40 billion tax credit from 2010 to 2019, providing approximately 4 million small businesses with a tax credit to offset employer health plan costs.
• Cost containment - Creates a small business health pool to spread risk and eliminates cost shifts that add to hidden tax passed on to everyone's care when the uninsured seek expensive treatment in emergency rooms.
More choices
• Simplified options - Provides small businesses, including the self-employed, a new option for a simplified cafeteria plan to provide tax-free benefits to employees.
• Temporary High-Risk Pool - Creates a temporary high-risk pool in 2010, funded with $5 billion, to allow individuals who have been uninsured for six months and have a preexisting condition to buy affordable comprehensive coverage.
Insurance reforms
• Preexisting conditions - Prohibits medical screening for health conditions and makes it unlawful to deny coverage for preexisting conditions for serious health conditions.
• Oversight on premium increases - Establishes new processes for federal and state review of premium increases. Among other things, states may recommend that insurers not be allowed to participate in the exchanges due to unreasonable premium increases.

GAMC: A Bridge to Comprehensive Care and System Reform
After many months of negotiation and debate, we were successful in negotiating an agreement that maintains health care coverage for current GAMC enrollees. However, there are significant problems with the compromise agreement. With the passage of the federal health care reform bill, we have the opportunity to provide comprehensive, statewide coverage to very low-income Minnesotans through an early opt-into Medical Assistance (MA). The compromise law on GAMC is a critical bridge to a better option.
Our first legislative solution, Senate File 2168, was undoubtedly the most fiscally-responsible means of restoring health care coverage to GAMC recipients, while still instituting system reforms and cost-cutting measures. Although Governor Pawlenty's proposal to auto-enroll GAMC enrollees into Minnesota Care would have been more expensive and would have imposed additional costs and coverage caps on a population that earns less than $8,000 per year, he vetoed our bill. Our attempt to override did not garner any Republican support, even though the vast majority of them had voted for the bill.
The compromise legislation, enacted just before GAMC disenrollment commenced, preserves health care and prescription drug coverage for the GAMC population and protects the Health Care Access Fund (HCAF) for MinnesotaCare recipients. The compromise maintained the GAMC program in its current form until June 1st, at which time the program will operate by providing lump sum payments to hospitals. The hospitals will then use a managed care approach to form Coordinating Care Organizations (CCOs) to provide services to GAMC patients. Drug coverage is maintained as a fee for service—a critical component for GAMC recipients, many of who are mentally ill or suffer from chronic diseases.
While the new agreement maintains the safety net, it does come with very high expectations for hospitals, which are being asked to continue providing care despite decreased reimbursement. Initially, all but one hospital declined to become CCOs, and it was only after the Department of Human Services "reinterpreted" the new law to limit the number of patients each hospital would have to take that three additional metro-area hospitals agreed to sign on.
In the final budget agreement, we successfully negotiated the inclusion of rural hospitals in the terms established by DHS and provided an additional $10 million to their uncompensated care pool, bringing that total to $30 million for reimbursement for care provided in hospitals that do not become CCOs.
Even for the short-term, the revised GAMC program is barely sustainable. Hospitals are being asked to provide care, with less money, and enrollees have to navigate a system that asks large hospitals to coordinate their much-needed preventive care. The rudimentary reforms in GAMC will be hampered by under funding and geographic disparity.
I am monitoring closely implementation of the revised GAMC program and will be visiting providers and enrollees in Greater Minnesota to best understand the issues with implementation. Early reports suggest the concerns my colleagues and I shared with the administration prior to final passage are being realized and we will continue to pursue the transfer of GAMC patients into early MA.
A far superior option is available to us as a result of the passage of the federal health care reform bill. Because Minnesota provides coverage for very low income Minnesotans with state funds, we are one of 11 states able to transfer enrollees into Medical Assistance and earn federal matching funds.
Early MA provides stability for those getting care and predictability for providers. Most importantly, it provides us with an important opportunity to bring broad system reforms to improve care and reduce costs for everyone. Foregoing this opportunity would be a strategic failure.
We fought hard to include the early MA opt-in in the final budget agreement and it will be established in state law beginning on July 1, 2010. This option is fully funded in the budget signed by Governor Pawlenty. The Governor can now opt in by signing an executive order beginning on July 1, 2010.
By opting into early MA, a decision for Governor Pawlenty or his successor before January 15, 2011, Minnesota will earn federal matching funds. The early MA option is paid for with $1.4 billion in federal funding that is leveraged by $188 million in state dollars – a $7 to $1 ratio. After three years, the state share will disappear entirely and the federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost of coverage.
Reducing the ranks of the uninsured is a cost saver for insured Minnesota families as it eliminates the "hidden tax", paid in the form of higher premiums to cover uncompensated care. The benefit of the state spending in this area is will create 22,000 jobs, generate $2.7 billion in business activity, and produce $984 million in salaries and wages.
With the passage of federal health insurance reform in April, I know that the GAMC compromise will have a short but important role in Minnesota. I support the early MA, along with many advocacy groups and provider organizations. I hope that you will join me in urging our current, or future, Governor to adopt this measure.

Standing With Nurses
Last Friday I joined nurses and Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher to stand with 12,000 Twin Cities nurses who will conduct a one-day strike for patient safety on Thursday, June 10, 2010.
As a policy maker, I have always strived to reform and improve health care in Minnesota because that means a healthier population. I firmly believe a critical part of that health care delivery is strong and effective nursing workforce.
Health care in Minnesota is experiencing a lot change and is under a lot of pressure.
Reforms being implemented means change in the delivery of care. Our aging population brings a larger demand of patients. At the same time, we are seeing a shortage of nurses and other health care professionals widen. Amidst this pressure, nurses are expressing their concerns for the safety of the patients they care for everyday.
Concern for patients' safety has always been a top concern for nurses. I know this because I've seen it first hand for decades. In 1984, when I was in college, nurses went on strike because of their concern for their patients. In 2001, nurses negotiated with hospitals on the number of patients that each registered nurse could care for to ensure each patient received the attention they needed. In 2008 and 2009 they came to the Legislature and worked with us to put in statute patient/provider ratios to go further to ensure patients were receiving the quality care they deserve.
I've worked with hundreds of nurses in many hospitals. I know how difficult a decision it is to strike, because it means leaving their patients, even for one day. But they have the courage and strength to do this in order to stand up for themselves and for the safety of their patients. I am proud to be standing with them.

Most people picture flying on an airplane as a luxurious, fast, and an expensive affair. All this is true, but events that have happened over the past years have tarnished the name of air travel, especially that of commercial flights. Apart from the security issues brought about by terrorism, there are other issues such as lost luggage, delays, long queues, rude flight attendants, ever-shrinking seating space in planes, and so on. The only way you can beat all these and experience flying the way it is supposed to be is by using a private jet air charter Minneapolis Minnesota flight service Near Me by calling 612-315-0200 por momenteto citaĵo.

Singapore has long been on my travel bucket list. Given its location in Southeast Asia and large world class international airport, Singapore makes for a great city-state for a long and enjoyable layover.
The skyscrapers, nightlife, cleanliness, and beautiful architecture make Singapore ideal for any traveler to enjoy. However, Singapore is a massive city and even leaving the airport to go explore can be quite daunting.
Book You Hotel in Advance
Accommodation in Singapore is known to be quite expensive. Book your Singapore hotel near the city center in advance to get the best bang for your buck. There are many hotels in Singapore to choose from, so always make sure to read the reviews beforehand to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. It's always important for me to have fast and free Wi-Fi, a comfortable bed, and a good location. After checking into your hotel, take a walk around Singapore's ethnic neighborhoods!
Pack Accordingly
The lowest recorded temperature on record in Singapore was 68°F! Needless to say, the country is hot and stays hot all year round. Remember to pack accordingly and always check the weather forecast ahead of time. You don't want to be that person sweating beneath your sweater with the sun beating down on you.

Visit the Gardens by the Bay
It's hard to write about Singapore and not mention the stunning Gardens by the Bay. Not just your typical garden, this Singaporean institute has supertrees, magical light shows, and over 700,000 tropical flowers. The outdoor gardens are open from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day. The best part? The outdoor gardens are FREE!
Test Your Superpowers and Float on Air
Have you ever floated on air? Chances are you probably haven't, but now at the Palm Avenue Float Club you can! Floating on air helps the human brain reset, de-stresses the body, and is the ultimate deep relaxation treatment.
Try the Chili Crab
Imagine an entire crab cooked in a sweet and spicy tomato sauce until completely tender, finished with a blend of scrambled eggs. To me, this sounds like seafood heaven and it is one of the main dishes in Singapore. For any crab lover, leaving the country without trying this messy dish would be a crime. Wondering where to get quality Chili Crab? Try Meliben Seafood at Ang Mo Kio Avenue for the famous dish and an even wider selection of other crab plates.
Party at the Highest rooftop bar in the world
You may think that New York City has the highest bar in the world, but it is actually Singapore that holds the title. 1-Altitude is 282 meters high and obviously showcases the best 360° views of Singapore. As you can imagine, prices are high and there is a "smart casual" dress code so don't roll in with flip flops.
So, If you're ready for a bit of luxury along with relaxation and nature, then book your hotel in Singapore and start packing.

The transition into adulthood is supposed to be a victory, but for 17 year old Reyhan it is bittersweet and pulls her family apart. Following in her parent's footsteps, she passes the infamous test to become a Militia – agents working directly under government leaders. While her father is glad to be back in the good graces of the government, her mother is disturbed and disgusted by her complete lack of empathy. Emotions run high when Reyhan's first target is her rebellious, runaway sister. Despite the desperate pleading of her mother, Reyhan doesn't hesitate to go on her first assignment.
What initially seems to be an easy target turns into a perilous undertaking when Reyhan makes a miscalculation. She ends up being taken into the compound that her sister escaped to, where everyone lives in a city of trees. Then Reyhan meets Floran, a native boy more than willing to help her. Soon she has Floran under her control, and he unknowingly helps her with her plan to complete her assignment and betray his family. Not everyone is as smitten with her, though. She has enemies in the compound that don't hesitate to make themselves known. Trained from birth to obey, fight, and kill, little does she realize that the hardest difficulty to overcome will be within herself.

Here`s another great article:
I have a 7mo old puppy who actually spends most of the day chilling out/sleeping/chewing on what I gave her. She almost never gets walks, though she is taken on a front yard meander for sniffing every time we go potty. (I don't need to hear I'm a terrible person for not taking her for walks. I have several illnesses that make it both dangerous for me and impossible most days of the week. We play tug and fetch in the house a couple days a week.) She is regularly taken to the vet for check-ups and I am the type of neurotic person who will take her if I feel anything is off. We don't have any behavior issues besides her occasionally going a little too hard while playing bitey bitey face with our 8yo dog and she immediately stops when told. She is a service dog canditate transitioning to SDiT with a recognized service dog training program that works with owner trainers so we often practice/do training in the house/out and about in public when my health permits.
Is it normal for a puppy to be this 'lazy'? Or did I just hit the jackpot? Anybody else have a chill pup at home? Her breed mix is (we believe) border collie/Aussie/beagle/lab/Staffordshire pit.

Many times when I travel my plans change. But this just means I experience something I wasn't aware of before I arrived. This was the case on my recent trip to Southern Africa. Due to several coincidences I was travelling East from Cape Town instead of my original plan of coming from the opposite direction. However, this meant I was able to learn of a very special place in the Eastern Cape. Panthera Africa.
Panthera is a big cat sanctuary that, like many similar places in this part of the world, receive much of their funding from international volunteers hoping to work with the animals for a few weeks or even months. I contacted the sanctuary and organised to spend the last two weeks of my African trip with them.
After meeting Martin, one of the volunteer coordinators, at the airport we were driven to the property in Stanford, some two hours from Cape Town. Once there, we were treated to our first tour of the facility. Including meeting the animals themselves.
In total Panthera has 23 animals plus five house pets (four dogs and a cat). The animals consist of lions, tigers, caracals, leopards, cheetahs and jackals. Within minutes of being shown around we were sat barely two metres away from a purring cheetah. There are not many things I have experienced on my travels that are better than that.
The following morning I had a full day to get to know my new surroundings and joined a public tour led by Sydney, another member of staff. There I heard many of the stories of the animals and how they ended up at Panthera.
Over the next two weeks I got to know most of the cats – spending time with them, enjoying random chats. After a few days I called Neptune, a stunning white lion and king of the Panthera pride, and he turned to face me. Getting acknowledged by a lion is not something you can really prepare for. Neither are the other experiences such as calling Max, the handsome caracal, and then watching as he leaps from the bushes to come say hello. Or greeting Rays the magnificent tiger and receiving a chuff in response. Then there is the roaring.
From 6 o'clock in the evening until we woke at 6am we could hear the lions just a few hundred metres away. I could listen to it all night and it's impossible not to feel something powerful standing in the middle of it all.
Where Panthera Africa differs from many sanctuaries around the world is that they are a sanctuary in the truest sense of the word. This means no interaction, including by the permanent members of staff, and no trading. All of the animals there were donated from various other sites around South Africa and further in Baguira's case, a lion all the way from Argentina.
From first hand experience I can tell you that all of the animals that live at Panthera have as good a life as is possible after what they have had to survive in their early stages. Some of their stories are truly horrific and heartbreaking.
It says a lot that people return year after year to volunteer. Many using this as their sole holiday abroad. There's a lot of hard physical work involved, as you would expect from a volunteer job on farmland. But personally I enjoy that, and all of the work goes towards helping care for the animals and ensuring they have a bright future.
Panthera are limited in what they can do but as awareness is growing towards the problems these magnificent animals have to contend with, hopefully it will mean a better life for their ancestors in the future.

When the Music Dies…
Long, Long time ago,
I can still remember,
How the music used to make me cry.
I can't remember if I cried,
when I read about that widowed bride,
but something touched me deep inside,
the day the music died.
So, "Bye Bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevvy to the Levy but the Levy was dry.
Them good ol' boys are drinking whisky and rye.
Singin' this'll be the day that I die.
This'll be the day that I die.
The day, the music died."
The Gold market is at the moment a bit like the old parlour game of yesteryear, when we all played 'Musical Chairs' after dinner on sundays, before wall to wall TV, and other distractions began to isolate us from each other – except via digital means.
The game – for those who don't know – involves putting together enough seats for all the participants, while playing music, and then removing one chair.
When the music stops, the last one to sit, is out.
The game continues until all the participants are out as each turn gradually reduces the number of chairs to one.
The gold market is gaily playing the game, blissfully unaware that the gold (Chairs) are being continually reduced and one day soon, the Bullion Bank Gold Vaults, will be empty, and one of the big players will want to walk away from the game, with their chair, (Gold) and the chair won't be there.
The day that that happens, will be like the day in the song above.
For those unaware, the song was a reference to the crash in 1959, when Buddy Holly, and the other musicians Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. They disappeared off the radar on a snowy journey on February 3rd.
The evidence is stacking up for all to see. Those with even a small stash of Gold and silver will be the lucky ones.
Exhibits A, B, C, and all the rest are from a web-site I visit on occasion, but which in recent days has been just full of evidence that the number of chairs is quietly, and incessantly being reduced, as the Chinese take all the chairs east.
The day the music stops, will be like the story of the Emperor who was wearing no clothes, until the small boy pointed out the truth.
Gold (and silver) will be worth a whole lot more, no matter what Harry Dent Junior says:
Beware The Ides of March…
Students of Literature, will recognise the title from the warning given to Julius Ceasar, as epitomised in the Shakespearean play of that name.
It was a warning to the general, to beware, by a soothsayer (who remains nameless). A warning that apparently he ignored. Of course, as the conspirators – the Senators, stabbed at Ceasar, and Marcus Brutus a former long-time friend plunged his knife into the man, Shakespeare's Ceasar uttered those now immortal words – "Et tu Bruté" (And you Brutus?)
Of course, in the modern era, the last major play, that resembles this drama, is the death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22nd 1963, as he was brutally slaughtered by a conspiratorial cabal operating in the upper echelons of the power political scene in America.
Who all these conspirators are, has remained largely unspoken… But some people, are doing what should have been done 50+ years ago, by the Dallas Police, before the CIA and the FBI took over the post assassination conspiratorial machinations, to cover up their involvement, and to plant the idea in the public's mind, that "it was a lone gunman" a Russian Sympathiser, who spent three years in Russia, but who was in receipt of $200 per month from the FBI as an informer, and who received special training by the CIA to learn Russian, before he allegedly dropped out by going to Russia and staying there for three years…
Those invoved in the Conspiracy carefully massaged the images and the Warren Commission headed up by the very man, that Kennedy had fired just a few months earlier as Head of the CIA to ensure the story remained "on message".
Of course George Herbert Walker Bush, when asked where he was at the time of the shooting, had vague recollections of where he was, despite someone of that name making a call to J. Edgar Hoover's office – Head of the FBI just hours after the shooting proving he was in a hotel in Dallas. And his recollections apparently varied on subsequent questioning of the same incident, The same George H. W. Bush who went on to be Carter's head of CIA, and then Vice President, during the 8 years that Ronald Reagan was President, and almost made it to the presidency when President Reagan was shot, by a lone nutter… But the President in true Cowboy hero fashion, survived.
JFK's brother Robert Kennedy who also later ran for political office also met a sudden death when yet another lone nutter (CIA – MK-Ultra participant?) allegedly shot him at close quarters as he emerged from the hotel kitchen into the glare of waiting reporters, TV cameras and waiting dignatories – and CIA operatives?
Here is the best documentary I've seen on this and other subjects…
JFK Jr., had his 3rd birthday just three days after his father's death, and after growing up and becoming by, all accounts, an honourable man, handsome, suave, considerate and latterly a pilot and publisher of a magazine called "George" – Was this a clue to the mystery surrounding his father's demise?
And of course, John F Kennedy Junior ALSO met an untimely demise, when his plane came down late in the evening, as his plane disappeared off his flight path and plunged into the Atlantic, just 1 minute after he called in to the Martha's Vineyard Airport, to say he was at 2,500 feet and ready to descend to the airport… But he never made it, falling out of the sky almost vertically just 60 seconds later… Meanwhile, George Bush Junior, for the three days, was nowhere to be found… Hmmmm… "Curiouser, and Curiouser"…cried Alice…
You can get a better description of events here…
So what does this have to do with the Ides of March?
Well, as President Trump has already made known to the world, some of the things he wants to do is to "Drain the swamp", and began the process, though CIA leaks have been made to discredit him, but even the MSM have had to eat some of their words. However, many things seem to be happening that suggests he won't see out his full-term – one way or another…
Already people are setting Trump up for a fall… Here's how Zero-Hedge put it
Roberto Gualtieri, chairman of the European Parliament's economic and monetary affairs committee, also criticized Trump. "Some first concrete confirmations of a new more unilateral policy stance by the new U.S. administration, including on sensitive financial markets regulatory issues, raise concerns and require both thorough reflection and action from the EU side," he told the committee.
Meanwhile, Draghi deflected accusations lobbed at him over the weekend by German finmin Schauble, who said not Germany, but the ECB and Mario Draghi, are responsible for the undervaluation of the euro:
And SGTReport who holds views similar to my own, regarding the economy, believes much the same with regard to Trump's likely outcome, as those behind the scenes are attempting to undermine, discredit, or if they can't impeach him, probably develop a plan to slay him, when they produced this video…
And of course #Pizzagate is just another FAKE News story…
Err.. Maybe.
And of course, it was Trump and those Russian hackers who stole the election… Except it wasn't…
BUT, at least Trump is fighting back, and so are the Americans…
Those evil Bankers, Oil-men, Military Corporate CEOs and multi-million share-holders, and those working for them in the secretive security organisations – all 16 of them, are now going to have their teeth pulled as the fight-back begins…As Ron Paul, that arch-enemy of the Federal Reserve has already had his £0.02 worth..
So, if you're in the markets, now might be prudent to lower your risk somewhat… Events have a habit of coming out of the blue, and given recent rises to bubble territory… and Cliff High's, Jim Rickards' and Bill Bonner's and JIm Willie's and Peter Schiff's, David Morgan's and Dr. Paul Craig Robert's warnings a pull-back is long overdue.
This is an important adjunct to the above piece, as events come into focus:
The 15th March (Ides) is the day that Netherlands goes to the polls to elect a new leader. One in which the populist Geert Wilders is steadily making progress in the polls and is looking increasingly likely to win. BUT as Turkey and the Dutch go head to head over the latest political intrigue, will this mean Wilders gets more of the sympathetic vote, against the population concerned about the (as they see it) invasion of Islamists guaranteeing him the vote?
The second concerning thing is the reaching of the $20 Trillion debt ceiling in the U.S. on that date, while also the Federal Reserve on that day too will decide whether to raise interest rates for just the 3rd time in 10 years.
And, in the UK, after the House of Commons rejected the amendment voted for by the House of Lords, this frees the PM's hands to announce the formal Brexit process.
And finally, Clif High – researcher, has been announcing over the last two months that March onwards is likely to be tumultuous, and after all that, I found this…(below)
Anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time, will know my feelings on Precious metals, and this just threw petrol on the bonfire.

Just Another Fake News Story?
Whilst browsing the internet, I come across many things, that deserve a wider audience, but am unable to offer any further evidence of these sometimes outlandish claims. Not so today.
This piece linked to below, really revolves around a much talked about subject, and one I have myself been involved in writing about, so this piece would appear to add further credence to the mystery.
Who was responsible for 9/11? WHY did they carry out the attacks of the World Trade Center (WTC)? And if two planes brought down buildings one and two, how did building 7, a block or two away, across a wide expanse, collapse vertically, and yet was still upright when a BBC news anchor with a live link behind her, showing the building – that could be seen by all those sufficiently awake to notice, – was still visible, while we were being told that the building had already gone down?
The piece linked to above reads like an episode of: "The Bourne Trilogy" with a cast of characters taken from: Politics, Corporate Energy, Mafia and Banking Interests across the western world. I wrote too in the book "The Coming Battle – 2013" that events were spiralling out of control.
General Wesley Clark in a video interview explained that he was told in advance of plans to intervene in seven middle-eastern countries, all based on the lie of 9/11… The latest in a long line of black-ops "False-Flag" events, that were used to sway American -and in this case – worldwide opinion to permit those with their own agenda to influence events. And he also discussed what happened next and he recalled how the decision was taken back in 1991 –
It used to be that the propagandists with people inside the military and secret service industries, could modify the News agenda to get the outcomes that they wanted, and due to secrecy laws, their misdeeds would go unpunished for thirty years or more until after the secret documents could be widely accessed. BUT, the Internet has changed all that. The Mainstream News Organisations (MSM) exist to make money for their shareholders and senior management teams – and the corporations that advertise and market their wares on them, are generally large multi-nationals – the very corporations that the MSM is supposed to be keeping a beady eye on, in its role as defender of the public and the customer, are the very same ones using politics to pursue their own agenda.
As ever, "He who pays the piper, calls the tune."
So, as corruption apparently swirls around the world, I hear of imminent plans to rid the world of physical coins and notes – particularly in America, where many of the U.S.'s states, and institutions are seemingly hell-bent on destroying the last vestige of freedom – the freedom to spend as you like – by outlawing payment in anything other than digital means.
So will Gold and Silver be once more used to "Barter" with?
Will the closure of your bank, be the event that makes you take action?
Will the ATM closing, or your Bank closing one weekend and not re-opening again on Monday make you take action?
Will the disappearance of your pension fund make you take action?
The time has come.
Money, Politics and Media
This piece will be short and to the point, and full of visual elements, in keeping with modern trends.
Our monetary system has by many independent commentators become corrupted, and this has been allowed because of the benefits to the few. It begins with a discussion of Fiat versus, "Real" money. Continues with discussion on the future, and then finally discusses why we got what we got.
Egon von Greyerz, talks about the currency devaluation over the last 100 years versus Gold, and how with charts he suggests that the U.S. is technically bankrupt.
The end result of which will be a collapse of the currency and with it much of Western Banking and finance.
In the second half of this next video, Max Keiser talks to Bitcoin entrepreneur – José Rodriguez, about crypto-currencies, and how both Mexico, and Argentina, have taken to them, to help solve their financial problems, which have beset the two countries, because of corruption, and the dominance of the American Banking System, which has had a detrimental affect on their nation's finances.
And the British political scene seems to have opened up in this last election pre-season friendly, as some of the political commentators, seem to have tripped up, and lost some of their moral high ground.
Maybe some good will come of all this.
A corrupt Media system, policing a corrupt political process, presiding over a corrupt monetary system, for its own mutual survival.
Who'd have thought it?

An equal chance for all to go to university
Like many children who grow up in some of our poorer communities, I don't really recall university being an option that was promoted widely as being available or indeed, expected of me. But I was encouraged to get on, to work hard and to aspire to be the best I could be. So getting to university was a big thing for me and my family.
Despite the progress made since the SNP came to power – the number of 18 year olds from the most deprived communities applying to go to university is up 65% since 2006 – it is still a big thing in some schools and communities. Why is that?
Getting to the root of that question lay at the heart of the task set for the Commission on Widening Access when it was established by the First Minister last year. The Commission's report published today not only digs deep into the complexities behind the barriers to university, but sets out a route map for us all to follow to change things so that we can achieve the ambition that every child, whatever their background, should have an equal chance of attending university. I am extremely grateful to the Chair of the Commission, Dame Ruth Silver and all the Commissioners, for their efforts in providing us with their "Blueprint for Fairness".
This report represents a milestone in itself. I warmly welcome it, for its comprehensive and forensic analysis of the issues and especially, for its wide-ranging recommendations. Clearly, we will need time to consider all the findings and recommendations in the report. It suggests that there is no quick or easy fix – that is much as we expected. But there are things we can do not just over the long term but more immediately that could make a difference. We will consider them all carefully and aim to bring forward a full response early in the next Parliament.
While we are building on the progress we have already made on improving access, there is more to be done and that can be done more urgently. We can and must pick up the pace and the Commission's report helpfully signals where we might go further and faster.
We can start by accepting the targets the Commission has recommended. To realise our ambition of equality of access to higher education, by 2030, students from the 20% most deprived backgrounds should represent 20% of entrants to higher education and that this should be seen in both the college and the HEI sector. I agree. The Commission also helpfully sets out milestones we should be aiming to meet to drive progress toward this goal. I am also happy to accept these milestones.
These set out what we should all be aiming to achieve over the next decade. There is no one part of the education sector which can or should carry responsibility for meeting these milestones or indeed, the overall target. If we are to achieve our shared goal, we need schools, colleges and universities to get involved. And we also need communities and families to play a role. If we are to achieve the cultural shift identified by the Commission and deliver its Blueprint for Fairness, national government must lead but we will not succeed if we don't work with all partners and interested parties. This is a journey we must take and make together, so that it stops being a big thing when a child from a poorer area succeeds in getting to university.

|Drug: Nitroglycerin
|Not Applicable
Complications of oesophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction are leakage and stenosis, which may be due to compromised microvascular blood flow (MBF) in the gastric tissue. We recently demonstrated that peri-operatively decreased MBF could be improved by topical administration of nitro-glycerine NTG). In this present study we investigate the effect of intravenous NTG on gastric microcirculation.
This single centre, prospective, double blinded study randomized thirty-two patients scheduled for esophagectomy into two groups. The intervention group received intravenous NTG during gastric tube reconstruction, as the control group received normal saline.
Baseline values of MBF, microvascular haemoglobin O2 saturation (μHbSO2), and microvascular haemoglobin concentration (μHbcon) were determined at the gastric fundus before and after gastric tube construction and after pulling up the gastric tube to the neck.

In the midst of religious persecution and all the disappointments and losses that Eugene had experienced for two years, he recalls one of the most important events of our Oblate life. It was the day when the Oblate adventure began – in the midst of great simplicity and poverty – and with much joy because they had discovered God's way for them!
Tomorrow I celebrate the anniversary of the day, sixteen years ago, I left my mother's house to go and set up house at the Mission. Father Tempier had taken possession of it some days before. Our lodging had none of the splendour of the mansion at Billens, and whatever deprivations you may be subject to, ours were greater still. My camp-bed was placed in the small passageway which leads to the library: it was then a large room used as a bedroom for Father Tempier and for one other whose name we no longer mention amongst us. It was also our community room. One lamp was all our lighting and, when it was time for bed, it was placed in the doorway to give light to all three of us.
Letter to Jean Baptiste Mille, 24 January 1831, EO VIII n 383

The Pope Shenouda III instructed the candidates for the election of the Coptic Orthodox Church, not to use the churches in advertising the elections their own and do not mix religion with politics, or use of any expressions of religion. It is noteworthy that the number of Coptic candidates in the elections of the People's Assembly and Shura nearly so far to 19 candidates, said Karim Kamal, general coordinator of the movement of national unity, he should have been paid on the heads of their party lists in support of their chance to win.

Control of Robot Manipulators in Joint Space

Part of the Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing book series (C&SP)
Part of the Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing book series (C&SP)
Robot control is the backbone of robotics, an essential discipline in the maintenance of high quality and productivity in modern industry. The most common method of control for industrial robotic manipulators relies on the measurement and amendment of joint displacement: so-called "joint-space control".
Control of Robot Manipulators in Joint Space addresses robot control in depth, treating a range of model-based controllers in detail: proportional derivative; proportional integral derivative; computed torque and some adaptive variants. Using varying combinations of the text's four parts:
• robot dynamics and mathematical preliminaries;
• set-point model-based control;
• tracking model-based control; and
• adaptive and velocity-independent control
a complete course in robot control based on joint space can be constructed for senior undergraduates or masters students. Other areas of study important to robotics, such as kinematics, receive attention within the case studies which are based around a 2-degrees-of-freedom planar articulated arm termed the Pelican prototype and used throughout to test the examined controllers by experimentation.
In addition to the written text, auxiliary resources are available in the form of pdf projector presentations for the instructor to use in lectures and as printed class aids for students, and a pdf solutions manual. All of this labour-saving supplementary material can be downloaded from springeronline.com.

Since 1845.
Tilton School was founded in 1845 as a secondary school for boys and girls when both dormitory students and day students were accepted and about 76 boys and girls formed the first student body. Two buildings, a boarding house and a classroom building were built for the School in Northfield, New Hampshire, which is just across the Winnipesaukee River from the present campus. In the 1860s, a fire burned part of the school and forced relocation across the river, to the present campus. Several brick buildings were erected, to be replaced in the 1880s by Knowles Hall.
Over the years, Tilton School has served many purposes, which were always related to the needs of the times. It has been a coeducational boarding school, a boys' boarding school, a public school, a female college, a junior college, and a secondary school with both college and general courses.
In 1939, Tilton ceased serving as the local high school and became strictly an independent boarding and day school for boys. In 1958, the "general diploma" was dropped and only college preparatory courses were offered. In 1970, Tilton once again became co-educational.
To this day, Tilton School remains coed with a total of 250 students and growing. Students from around the world makeup this wonderful community on the Hill.

Since the founding of Tilton School in 1845, we have remained true to our mission: challenge students to embrace and navigate a world marked by diversity and change. This means more than 170 years of fueling curiosity, igniting passions, and fostering a love for learning that allows teenagers to realize the power of their potential.
This transformational experience has always been rooted in our deep and meaningful relationships to bring out the very best in teenagers. Educating our students for a rapidly changing future is not a simple task and requires that we always seek to improve ourselves and our approach with our students.
We are entrusted with the intellectual and spiritual development of students as future leaders of an evermore complex and challenging world. In order to fulfill this responsibility, Tilton must continue to obtain the finest, most committed and caring faculty; develop the most innovative and effective educational programs; and maintain facilities that are essential to meet these goals.

As Ready as Can Be
Malaysia is a far cry from Florida's regional mixed martial arts scene.
Friday, at One Championship "Masters of Destiny," West Palm Beach native Troy Worthen will experience that massive switch in cage locale. The stark change in setting could be a daunting task for some. However, Worthen is as prepared as an American fighter can be to make their One Championship debut in a venue like Kuala Lumpur's Axiata Arena. That's because the Florida native is well assimilated to the Asian combat sports market, as a new resident of Singapore, and recent addition to Evolve MMA team.
"The way I got into One Championship and Evolve MMA, was a global tryout Evolve hosted," Worthen told Sherdog. "We flew over -- me and bunch of other athletes from around the world -- we went through a week trial, they pretty much put us through hell, and found out who would break, and who wouldn't. I ended up being the first pick from the team."
Being chosen to join the team and organization meant living in Singapore full-time. The idea of moving to a foreign land would give many reasons for pause. Yet for Worthen, the chance to train at one of the elite MMA gyms in the sport came at just the right time.
"I was super excited," says Worthen. "I actually had quit my job about six months prior to that and decided I was going to focus on MMA full-time. I put money in the bank, and was just going to ride it out and do whatever I could. So, the opportunity to go to Evolve MMA, and sign with One Championship was huge. I was super-excited."
In this exclusive interview with Sherdog, Worthen also talked about his path to becoming a mixed martial artist, and his background as an amateur wrestler at the University of Central Florida and living in Singapore.

[World News] Why Does The U.S. Military Believe Humans Have a Sixth Sense?
August 13, 2017
In this clip from our show 'Believe', we discuss "World News."
"Why Does The U.S. Military Believe Humans Have a Sixth Sense?"
• The Office of Naval Research began a four-year research program, costing approximately $4 million, to examine premonition and intuition.
• The Pentagon's focus is to maximize the power of the sixth sense for operational use.
• This specific research program came from reports within the field, where soldiers have used intuition for various operations.

It will take you just a few minutes to install, we have 2 methods to sync your Wordpress website with Influence.
Method-1: Traditional way of Pixel Installation
Step 1: Install Insert header and footer plugin.
Since the pixel needs to be pasted in the header area of WordPress, for that you need to download the plugin.
Go to your WordPress account, on the left section click on the plugins area and then click on add new.
you'll see an insert header and footer plugin. You can even download the plugin by it by clicking here.
Once you are done and installed with it, you need to activate the plugin.
Once you are done with it, then you need to go to the settings area of the click on the header and footer plugin option.
you'll land up on a place like this, and you need to enter your Influence pixel in this empty header area and then press save to load it up.
Step 2: Pasting your Pixel:
To add your Influence pixel you need to read this help document and copy the steps written here.
Method-2: Installing Influence Plugin from Wordpress Marketplace
Step 1: Inside your Wordpress Admin Panel - Go to Add New Plugin page, Search for Useinfluence plugin, & Click on Install Now button as shown below
Step 2: Go to Installed Plugins page and activate the plugin.
Step 3: During activation, you will see the below screen, Insert your Unique Tracking ID & API key to finish the installation.
You can get Tracking ID & API key from your Influence dashboard,
Now you are all set & done! Go back to your Influence dashboard & start making a New Campaign.
Troubleshooting WordPress:
If you're using WordPress method there are few things that may cause a problem in getting the pixel to be verified.
Usually, WordPress is slow to verify the pixel because of the platform's nature.
Some of the common thing that you can do to make it work.
- If you've installed Influence plugin and are making things work with that, then try to delete it and install the method 1 (mentioned above), and then install the pixel with it. (if you have both the methods it may not work, only on method needs to be there)
- Install a super cache plugin, and activate it. (Keep the plugin count close to 12 plugins, a lot of times multiple plugins also conflict with the functioning of our plugin as well)
- Refresh the browser, and open it in 3-4 windows and then refresh all of them, you'd be able to see the pixel turn green & if the campaign is being made, you'll see the popups as well.
- If you're using Elementor For WordPress: it would take you a little longer than usual.
- If you're connecting your WordPress through Google Tag Manager: it would also take a little longer than usual
If you're still facing any issues, then you can contact us through the support section, & we'd be more than happy to assist you with it.
