At Gage, we believe outstanding communication strategies come from outstanding insights. Without a commitment to research and analytics, we never fully realize the potential of a company or brand. Communications success sits where research and strategic thinking intersect.
For this reason, Gage is committed to research and information-gathering at each step of the communication process. Our partners bring decades of research experience to the asking of outstanding questions – and helping all of us better understand the answers.
Whatever your industry, whoever your target audience, we can help develop a research approach that gets to the heart of your opportunity or the crux of your challenge.
Gage Patient Direct
Developing programs for patients without patient insights and experiences seems a bit silly, doesn't it? Patient-centric businesses and strategies need to open the door to meaningful dialogue with patients early and often – even when (perhaps most importantly when) those patients are hard to reach or belong to tiny patient populations.
Important questions might include:
- How do patients manage their disease?
- Who is really influencing how they manage their disease?
- Do patients know how to follow their treatment plan appropriately?
- What information or assistance do patients need to follow their treatment plan? To make their life easier?
- Why do patients not fill or not repeat their prescriptions?
- What do patients need from information materials so they are relevant, credible and easy-to-understand?
. . . and a host of others we can develop in collaboration with you and your team.
Don't be put off by what might be perceived as a difficult or frustrating patient search and recruitment process. If you are committed to reflecting an authentic patient point of view in your brand planning, we can help.

More people keep crying for freedom from their daily works as salaryman to the unfair political ideologies. However, they keep walking on the street like zombies rushing to their boring offices, the places where your creativity will be destroyed within 5 years. Even the political protestors do the same thing like yelling against their government. Ridiculously, all do the same things and expects the different result like freedom.
Therefore, to be free, just nothing and understand these followings.
Be Fully Aware of yourself
The one who has never be free is the one who keep doing without thinking that s/he has more ways to do with life. Don't let any situations fully control you emotionally even physically. Be alert on what you are doing. Slow yourself down. Then, you will gradually realise your existence and more choices you can select to do.
Be yourself
If you live your lives with the knowledge, beliefs and laws that your family, your school, your government, drop them down for a while as well as your past experience. They keep dragging you not to be yourself. To live your life with your freewill, give up on living with them if they turn your life stressful. Remember, living with tension is wrong. Living with ease is right. When you keep giving up until you cannot give up, that is your true nature!
Be creative
That is the common problem for most people. They have no single ideas after they are free. The prisoners willingly returned to the Bastille Jail for the food after they were free in French Revolution. Salaryman who fail in investing in the business as the passive income will return to apply jobs. If you would like to be truly free, make sure that you have the smart and creative choices than what you are doing right now.
Understand each other
Being yourself and creative is not enough because you are living with others. Your choices of lives may fit you best but may not for others. Understand your beloved people even strangers what they are thinking and feeling. Let's brainstorm ideas to meet the win-win situations. That is when the celebration begins.
Do nothing
There are the man and the monk. The man asked the monk for the freedom. He asked him to raise one of his leg. Then, he did on his left one. The monk said, raise another. The man became curious how. That is when the monk taught him that he had freedom to choose any leg to raise, now he had to be responsible for the choice he chose.If you would like to be free, do nothing! Enjoy choices in front of you!
Don't throw the responsibility to others (even God)
Otherwise you have to be responsible on whatever you take actions. That is why many people don't really want to be free because they don't want to carry the cost of it. That is impossible. If someone told you that you are suffered because of God's plan, it means you have the full responsible on your suffering after you enjoy what you did.
That is the way to go. Make sure that you can love when you are free. Love should be the destination of every kinds of freedom. Of course, love has to support freedom too. They are supporting each other like the bird with two wings.
Freedom need your full awareness. Be alert. Live like you are in danger, and you will see and enjoy more choice in front of you.

Well I managed to grind out a finish at the Might Contain Nuts Summer 40. Despite spending most of the race dead last I eventually finished second to last after catching up to the chap ahead of me after the last checkpoint. I took around 12 hours and 58 minutes to finish, starting at 0800 and finishing just before 2100.
I had been quite nervous before the race as to whether or not I'd finish, so I spent quite a lot of time being obsessive with my prep. Reading lots of blogs, reading the book on feet care – Fix your Feet. I'd figured out all the distances between checkpoints, worked out the climbs. While I'd not done anywhere enough training, I had tested out all my gear, food and the shoes are well worn ones which are nice and comfy. Ah, yes training. Well my training consisted of a few 5k runs, an 8 miler, 13 miler and 14 miler. Not exactly optimal really. However I'd already paid my money and really wanted to get the race done, so I decided that doing a fast walk around most of the course would get me round in about 12 hours. I have entered races that I then chuck in cause I've got a little twinge or not done enough training, I've got to actually start doing stuff and not just wimping out.
I spent the night before at the in-laws in Brecon, so was able to sleep in till 0630. Didn't sleep that well to be honest but shovelled down a few bananas first thing. However got to the race HQ at Talybont in plenty of time. i was feeling a bit jittery, but nothing too awful. The night before I'd put my number (94) on my top, but on the morning decided that I'd go with all the cool kids who had their numbers on their packs. So sorted that out. I remembered to check if waterproof trousers were needed, they weren't so I took them out of my already rammed pack and dumped them in my post-race bag. We all trudged out for the race brief and before I knew it we were off. As a note if the organizer hadn't mentioned that people swapped numbers around, i.e. saying 49 instead of 94, I wouldn't have done it on Pen-y-Fan. I'd always planned to take the race very easy so started really slowly as it usually takes me a while to get going properly. I'd assumed that this being an ultra, everyone else would be just as slow. I was very wrong on that point, as most of the field swept past me really quite rapidly. I stuck to my plan and switched to a fast walk really early along the canal. I was expecting my knee to be dodgy so didn't want to cause any injuries that would cause me to drop out.
My climbing buddy Darren was unexpectedly in the UK on a break from his year of touring Europe, so he was on one of the canal bridges taking photos. It was nice to see him early on. By this point I think I was already last, but my fast walk was keeping up with the 'running' that the other tail enders were doing. As the climb started I over took a couple of ladies (who ended up finishing joint last with 14:00 hours on the clock), that was to be my only overtake for a long time. I made good time up the first climb and felt very good when I reached the top. There were still a few people in front of me here, but they all ran the descent so quickly disappeared. Darren was on the descent taking photos again. We shouted some quick greetings and he followed me down the hill back to my car and we had a quick chat. He wished me luck and I kept on going. The first checkpoint came a lot sooner than I had been expecting, I must have got the distances wrong at this point, as I was over an hour and fifteen minutes up on my schedule. The marshall was very cheery and we had a little chat while I filled my water bladder fully. I had only put 500ml in it so I didn't have to carry a full pack from the off. However I couldn't wait so once the water was in, I got off. The course was very well marked so no problems here. The path was pretty decent in most places apart from the section that was less a path and more a river. I got very wet feet here, which was annoying and I fretted about this for a while worrying about blisters. I knew that the bogs on the ridge would be wet, so didn't want to change socks yet as it would be really awful if I changed socks only to get them soaking a couple of miles later. I finally caught up to another runner here, he was limping badly and said he'd sprained his ankle. However at this point there were some marshalls to make sure we took the right turning, so I hope they sorted him out. The route went through the quarry here, which made an interesting change. I will admit, I spent some time looking at the rock wondering if there are any routes up there. There was another marshall shortly, again to make sure we made a turn correctly.
The second checkpoint arrived soon enough at the bottom of the reservoir. I decided not to change socks here, after having fretted about it. I steamed through this point, figuring I had enough water in the pack, just to take a quick swig and keep going. I got onto the ridge before I needed my first comfort break. My hydration wasn't that great here, so I tried to take on a bit more water. The going was awful on the first section of the ridge. I ended up in boggy hell, trying to find a decent path through it all. I sank up to my knees twice. To make things worse my ITBS kicked in up here. At one point I really thought I wouldn't be able to walk any more. I took a couple of ibuprofen and pushed on through the pain. I seriously thought about returning back to the checkpoint and quitting. However I decided to go onto checkpoint 4, the Storey Arms carpark and see how I felt. As I kept moving things started loosening up and the knee pain faded. I kept a good pace up the ridge finally getting on to the part of the ridge which is on the Brecon Beacon Horseshoe route, so there were plenty of walkers enjoying the weather. I had to help a couple with directions. This was the first point where I started to feel hungry so had my flapjack and started eating clif shot bloks a bit more often. I went through CP 3 very quickly, yelling my number at the marshall and not stopping. After getting a bit down the ridge I worried that the marshall hadn't caught my name and number so fretted about that on the way down. It was here that I saw the first other person in the race that I'd seen for ages. They were coming back up Pen-y-fan. I wouldn't see another racer till Cribyn. I made good time down the path, eating my scotch egg on the way down. My knee was fine at this point, so no major problems. I took the time to change my socks, refill my energy drink bottle and water bladder before heading out. I did take some more ibuprofen in the car park, just to be sure.
As there are loos here I took advantage of them, coming out of the loos I bumped into another climbing buddy who was out on a walk. I badgered him to walk down the car park, take a photo and have a quick chat. I told him how the race was going and he told me I looked ok and that he was sure I'd finish and to keep up the good work. Joe is an experienced runner and walker having done 100s of half marathons and numerous marathons, so this was a massive and totally unexpected boost. I headed up the third major climb of the day, back up the path to Corn Du. This was definitely harder however the path is nice and even. The stream in the middle was deeper than usual, but I made it across with dry feet. By the time I got back to CP 5, I was tired, but otherwise ok and had plenty of energy still. However my food was disappearing quicker than I had hoped. At CP 5 I made sure that the marshall had got my number first time round and fortunately they had, so no worries there. I got over to the Pen-y-Fan summit, where there was another marshall who warned me about the descent off Pen-y-fan, again this is where local knowledge comes in handy, I've ice climbed on Pen-y-Fan, so the small rocky step there wasn't a big worry. This descent was fine and my knee was still ok here. By this point I knew I was going to make CP 6 by about 1630, so would be well with in the CP 6 by 6pm cutoff. I knew that barring major issues I was going to finish now, so was quite happy. Also it was quite nice to be on my own, it seemed like all the marshalls were out on the hill just for me, which made me feel oddly special. Weird I know, but there we go.
I got to CP 6 and it was here that the marshall confirmed I was last. This must have been a mistake as I've since found out that there were two others behind me at this point. Also I got a flapjack as I said I was low on food, this was ace, I just inhaled it. As I was walking across to the start of the final climb up Cribyn, I slowed down long enough to ring Mum as I knew I wasn't going to finish on time, so wanted her to know that incase she worried and to also take a shot of the upcoming pain that would be the Cribyn climb. It's like lots of Brecon Beacons climbs, very steep. They're either nice and gradual or short and super steep. It was here that I saw a couple of other runners on the Cribyn climb. As I was going very steadily, knowing what was coming, I managed to reel them in a bit. I was very tired by this point and I couldn't look around at all, I had to focus on each step. It was brutal, but at least I was expecting that, it must have been horrible if you didn't know what you were expecting. However on the descent off Cribyn to the top of the Gap pass, my knee pain really kicked in. The last of the painkillers went down my neck just before Cribyn, so there was no more solace there. I just had to grit my teeth and get on with it.
I didn't bother with filling up at CP 7 either, I just drank a decent amount of water and kept on going. Not wanting to waste any time. I could see the other runner at this point so started to chase him down, as while he was running still, my walking pace was much faster. I caught him up on the ridge round from Fan-y-Big. We exchanged greetings and I confirmed to him where the route was going. Jamie (the other runner) was I think relieved that I knew where I was going. However the course was well marked at this point so my local knowledge wasn't that useful. Still we walked/jogged together having a good natter. However I knew the final descent from Carn Pica was coming and I was dreading that. It was as awful as I'd thought it would be. My knee pain was utterly horrible here, however I had to go down and that was that. I got down and eventually Jamie managed to coax me into a run downhill, at least it would finish things quicker. We got down to the Talybont resi and kept on trudging onto the Taff trail. Here I rang Rhi and arranged the post race curry and asked her to head down to pick me up. While we were on the Taff Trail, one of Jamie's mates came out to meet us as Jamie's wife was getting worried. Also one of the organisers came out on his bike to check up on us, which was lovely. As we got close to the canal I eased into a jog and Jamie followed me so I thought. However after a while I looked round and he'd disappeared. I wanted to get finished at this point, so just kept up the pace and the organiser whizzed past on his bike encouraging me on. As I came into the grounds of the race HQ the marshalls rang bells and everyone came out and cheered me on. I managed to break into a fast run here and got over the finish line. As it was flat, my knee was ok. I was happy to have finished. I recieved my finishers medal and mug and nabbed some flapjack that was floating around. I was surprised Rhi wasn't there, but it turns out she didn't know that she could come inside so was patiently waiting for me in the car. I waited around for Jamie to come in and while I was doing that I changed tops and started drinking my recovery drink. I thanked as many marshalls as I could and went outside to find Rhi. She then took me home via the curry house. I again inhaled the curry and a pint and crashed out in short order.
Recovery and Post-Race
It's nearly a week after the race now and my knee pain (ITBS) in my right knee is slowly going away. The left knee has been affected but not as badly. The muscle soreness is pretty much gone. I would imagine that people who do this sort of thing on a regular basis would recover much quicker when compared to someone like me who's relatively fit and just forced themselves round. Especially as I knew from about halfway round that I was just doing myself damage. I spent the Sunday after the race watching John Wayne westerns (Train Robbers, El Dorado, Cahill (US Marshall) and Chisum) and just sitting around at the in-laws while the wife and the in-laws went to the Malvern flower show.

Celebrity Chef Pooja Dhingra Adds Business Wisdom To Our Sweet Tooth Over Lunch
- IWB Post
- May 11, 2017
When we entered the beautifully-lit Krystal Bar at Hilton, I made a mental note of not to stumble and break anything.
In the center, was a table where sat some of the most sought after restaurateurs of Jaipur and Pooja Dhingra, the founder of Le 15 Patisserie. For the next two hours, experiences, problems, ideas, and as Hilton's Chef Japvir Singh calls it, "gyan" free flowed in the room.
In the words of our guests, Pooja is the "Queen of Macarons", which is fitting because she is credited with creating the first authentic macaron in India. Pooja began narrating her journey to a very pro-active crowd.
After the latecomers had taken their chairs, Lady Boss Ana jumped right in to lead the conversation. "Why don't we tell everyone here the 5-star qualities you think you have?" Ayesha, the founder of Tryst with Taste took the initiative and told everyone how she is very patient and can take criticism well.
She was followed by Gauri who told us, "I am open to trying out new ingredients. Also, I am an absolute neat freak." As we moved around the table with every face now getting familiar, the conversation became more relaxed and humorous.
Ratika of the Cauldron Sisters was the last one to introduce herself, "I believe I can sell anything, I am a Marwari, you know" with that the ice was broken. The table was ready for some discussion.
In came, the Cream of Broccoli Soup with an Olive crusted toast, and it looked very appetizing. Ana had placed some paper cut-outs of Colorbar lipstick (our lunch partner) shaped like a rocket which symbolized the bold colors of entrepreneurial dreams. We "launched" them for an Instagram boomerang. After a truly hilariously awkward boomerang, the bunch dug into their soups.
Between sips of the broth, Ratika asks Pooja, "You know after a while you stop experimenting and just start serving the food every cafe serves. How do you avoid that monotony and redundancy?" Pooja replies, "You have to keep experimenting and adding modifications. That is not to say you shouldn't give the customers what they want, but you need to stick to your cafe's DNA."
"What are some of the problems cafes in Jaipur face? I have often had problems with Chefs who we train but they leave for a little extra money," claimed Pooja. Rinku, who was adorning a gold necklace that read "Peace," got quite aggravated as she concurred, "Despite treating them really respectfully, Chefs do leave even if they're offered a little more."
Seeing that everyone had stopped eating their food and were fixating on the conversation, Pooja directed everyone to get back to eating. The exact thoughts in my mind were, "Can I help you finish that?" But of course, who could resist the conversation. "I too was scared of my staff leaving. But the thing is since I myself cook, I do not let the staff subdue me. You cannot let them overpower you. They shouldn't get the feeling that you do not know your business," Dushyant said.
As the conversation shifted to customers being finicky with paying extra money for dessert, a new participant joined the conversation.
Richa, the other half of the Cauldron Sisters chimed in, "I once had a customer argue with me for Rs. 20. This particular customer had Jaguars parked in her driveway. People just do not want to pay a lot of money for dessert." Dushyant agreed, "People need to learn to pay for their experience, and not to fill their stomach when it comes to dessert."
Soon the conversation moved to how Indians are just learning to taste food from around the world. Ayesha believes,"There is a need to educate and tell people about what you're serving. You cannot expect people to just know if you're bringing in new menu items. You need to tell them what they are." Ayesha works with Indian coffee farmers. "Many of my clients wouldn't even try black coffee. But now they're ready to taste even Ethiopian coffee."
Ronak & Aditya of Thank God It's Healthy seemed to agree with Ayesha. "Spreading consciousness is essential. There is a need to create opportunities for people to explore. You need to be particular to think of the restaurant industry as the whole, not just your restaurant."
Rinku seemed to have stalked Pooja quite well. She mentioned her Instagram often and briefed the table that Pooja made the cake for Arpita Khan's wedding. Which led our Social Media Manager, Anvita to inquire, "Are celebrities helpful when you're working on your marketing strategy?" Pooja replies, "Celebrities build a relationship if they like your product. In India, Bollywood endorsements are awesome, but it's not a coherent marketing strategy. It can only get you eyeballs. We want people to come for our product."
Soon enough the star-chef of Hilton, Mr. Japvir Singh, walked in. A jovial man, his enthusiasm for his work was almost dripping from his affable swagger. He really wanted to join the conversation, but work comes first (especially when work is food). Though, he made his presence felt with the next item, the Summer Salad.
The smell of the melted Cheese was filling up the air. But the diners were interested more in another ingredient of the salad which was, Avocado. Aditya told us that despite the availability of Avocado in Jaipur, the quality is certainly not up to the mark. The Indian food enthusiast is certainly tilting towards healthier options, but ingredients are still a problem.
Soon Paneer Kathi Roll and French fries were served for us peasants, too. I zoned out of their conversation and focused all my energies on the Roll. After eating just one roll (Yes, Anvita, I didn't eat two), I returned to the main table for some more of their conversation.
Akul, of Poppins Organic Cafe, and Dushyant seemed to have a little tussle over the use of the phrase, "Healthy Burger". Dushyant inquires how a burger can be healthy and Akul points out that the use of natural sweeteners and organic produce can make a burger healthy.
Finally, we had the pastry chef, Gaurav, walk in with some of the most beautiful looking desserts I've ever seen. It was so exotic I had to leave the guests and go to the chef to ask for a name. "The Apple Mousseline Millefeuille (pronounced Mill-fee)," he said. Obviously, the name went over my head so I began inquiring what goes into making it. He casually narrated the ingredients to me, "Butterscotch, Apple, Vanilla, Cream…" and my mouth began to water incessantly. I urged him to stop because temptation is a sin.
As lunch began to wrap up, Ana came to save the conversation and asked everyone to tell us their goals and dreams for the future. Pooja took the lead and said, "I want to take Le 15 the world!" Others shared their ambitious goals with Rinku's plan to take Mamu's infusion national, and Dushyant's to take OTH, national. Ratika, however, had a more philosophical approach, "My goal is to reach a stage that whenever the client things of us, they get a smile on their face."
After the lunch was over, the diners partook in an activity called "Lip read compliments," where the ladies refreshed their lipsticks and then lip read compliments to the person on the right. As the ladies attempted to do so, Richa playfully offered lipstick to Dushyant, who blushed and declined.
Let's just say that the most pertinent compliment exchanged at the table was, "You have beautiful eyes." I'll refrain from naming names.
Everybody got up to take a bunch of selfies and portraits and began to leave the bejeweled Hilton Krystal Bar. Thanking Ms. Pooja Dhingra for the luncheon, the happy-happy patrons depart. Their heads filled with new and bright ideas and their stomachs with delicious food.

Potatoes are deep feeders and require an abundance of . moisture, though not too much. Great pains should always be taken to keep the cultivator going- until tho vines nearly, meet between the rows, if they are to be saved, from such a drought as that of last summer. If tlio weather is moist, tho weeds are apt to take advantage of tho potatoes, after culture ceases, unless it has been prolonged as it should be; so, in any case frequent, fairly deep and long culture should be had. If muriate of potash is used as a fertilizer, it would bo well to apply it some little time before planting-; better in tho fall, but it is now too late, in order that tho chlorine may wash down, as it is believed that it tends to make tho potatoes watery. Three to lour hundred pounds per aero would ba quite sufficient. It is good economy to cultivate and fertilize potatoes 'liberally.— Eural World. c Ilnrien In Stnblo*. The blanket to a horse in the stable vrith Ma coat on is little less than cruelty, A blanket is scarcely justifiable when the horse stands out of doors. A blanket makes a horse very sensitive to the cold when ho would be perfectly comfortable without one if unaccustomed to it. The best possible condition for a horse to take cold is when he comes out of a warm stable whcro ho has been standing blanketed. The cold will strike like a knife into every part of his body. When tho horse is not heated he should no.t bo blanketed. Of course this refers to un- clippcd horses. The man who would leave a clipped , horse unblankcted in the winter should be arrested and punished. Nature provides a covering ample to protect ihe horse in this clircata In the winter. — Farm and Qoiiw. A Xcw Wny of C»trliln~ .Rabbits.

"Take," said Henry Xorman, "the light, from the eyes of a sisto.r of mercy at her gracious task, the smile of a maiden looking- over the seas for her lover, and the heart of an unspoiled child, and materialize them into a winsome and healthy little body, crowned with a mass of jet, black hair and dressed in bright, rustling silks, you would have the typical Japanese Ionian.

The appointment of a committee of five—for what purpose need not appear—was in progress, and nom- inatious were being made all over tke hall with an enthusiastic indifference to the .laws of the much lamented Mr. Gushing. The acoustics of the room were not of the best, and amid the clamor that greeted each name presented it was extremely difficult to follow the proceedings. At length a burly Irishman at the back of tho hall rose to his feet, and waving a blackened clay pipe at arm's length shouted in a voice that might have been heard around tho block: "Mr. Chairman'," All sounds in the hall came to an end. Recognition from the chair was instantaneous. "Mr. Chairman, 01 move that Mayor O'Brien be put on the committee." "Phwat committee is thot?" questioned a voice from the other side of the room. "Blamed if Oi know, but Oi move thot Mayor O'Brien be put on it." It was" unanimously seconded.—Harper's Magazine. A Safe Knle. "I don't know whether you'll like this.

Many Women Now Remain Single From Choice. The Repellent Picture of Old M»ld«nhood Hoc So Much In Evidence ai U •VVai Only a Frur Teur* Aco. Here is what an enthusiastic admirer of the spinster of to-day says: "The disagreeable maiden lady so frequently encountered in the books of half a century ago is no longer recognized as a type of spinstorhood. How- did she originate? She was pictured as fading or faded in appearance, angular and sinewy, prim and 'faddy.' protecting herself'by a rather chilly isolation, narrow-minded, soared, keen-eyed to other people's faults, mischief-making, her soul shriveled by disappointment. "Sometimes these qualities were allied with unconquerable vanity and a hungry pursuit of any chance of attracting the attention of. the monster, man. It is a repelling picture; but there can be no doubt that in former days, and even now in certain classes, some approach to it may be seen in the unpleasant change that comes over women who, having made marriage their object in life, fail to attain it. "But all this is changed by the opening out of a life for women independent of marriage, and by the proofs that are every day before our eyes that woman may be perfectly happy, self- possessed and contented without aiming at it. Slie is capable of independence; she is more the slave of love than man is. This is the growing idea that is gradually lifting the reproach from the unmarried woman's life v It has already made it possible for a woman to be old, yet not an old maid. She is only thought of as an old maid now when she succumbs to the disagreeable qualities of one. "Age, indeed, hardly comes into the question. Who thinks of classing bright, capable women anywhere under five-and-forty old maids? There is no more reason why they should not be married than there was when they were twenty-one. They have not allowed their life to run into a groove; they are not narrow, arbitrarj-, petty and jealous; but are women of the world, who have had too much practical work to think of to be able to moon over their private affairs. "It is women of this class who are raising the age at which women marry in certain circles of society. They are setting up a sentiment in favor of real women, as compared with the inexperienced, sentimental chits whom tho novelists married off almost before they left the schoolroom. "The girl of to-day is in no haste to wed; she need not marry for a home, because she is capable of earning one for herself. If she is left behind when •he loves and rides away,' she need not pine away and die from sheer want of something else tq think about. Ko; she can work out a career of her own, reside in residential chambers, and become a lady bachelor. She can have, in fact, much the same as the majority of men would who had been badly treated by a member, of the fair sex. "The positions, in fact, have become more equal. With the dread of being left a burden upon relatives and to endure all sorts of slights and insults, the worst sting of 'old maidenhood' has vanished: so much so, indeed, that it was lately a matter of comment in a noted publication that many women are actually living in single blessedness from choice." A Voracious Anlmnl. Some tirae ago the mongoose was introduced into the island of Jamaica to destroy the rats, which were doirg much damage to the sugar cane. But the Kingston papers say its activity did not stop there. It destroyed snakes, toads, insectivorous birds and other enemies of the insect race, and as a result there been a great increase in the number of ticks, grass lice, beetles, flies and other small pests. Horses suffer severely, and sometimes die, from the attacks of the ticks, which get into their ears, nostrils and throats. As the mongoose finds the rats, snakes, toads and crabs disappearing it attack's sitting fowls and carries off their eggs, and kills young pigs, kids, lambs, calves, pups, kittens, poultry and game birds, destroys fruits and vegetables and is suspected of sucking sugar cane, eats meat and salt provisions and catches 'fish. Flcht Between Otter nnd Dawk. The Berlin correspondent of the London Standard writes that a strange conflict was observed the other day by fishermen on the Frische Haff, near Konigsberg-, in east Prussia. For some time they had noticed two otters which had ventured on to the 'ice. As they were watching them, a large hawk came flying from a neighboring forest and alighted on the ice not f2.r from the otters. Soon, however, it soared into the air again, swooped down liko lightning on one of the otters, and stuck its claws into its back The other otter fled. A desperate fight ensued. It lasted ten minutes, and ended ia the death of the hawk. Its neck was bitten through, only a thin strip of skin remaining to unit<; its body with its head. After its victory the otter dived into the water. A Blmwrd l»ellverance.

From our ancestors' first forays through the continent, to the contemporary diaspora spread around the world, people are eternally moving in, out and about the African continent. Not everyone leaves out of their own volition, and not everyone comes with the best intentions: nevertheless, the story of Africa is the story of souls migrating, settling, unsettling, fleeing, seeking, resting, nesting and sharing stories, experiences and myths.
From herds of migrating animals to treks both physical and spiritual, from the comfort of ancient myth to the desperation of those currently fleeing their homes, Short Story Day Africa is looking for a crop of short fiction that will bring a fresh, urgent perspective to one of our most profound phenomena, and the basis of all our greatest stories.

Standard manuscript format
If you submit manuscripts to publishers or agents, you've probably come across the demand that you use "standard manuscript format" (or "SMF") for your submissions. It isn't always spelled out what this means, however. Generally speaking, the term indicates that you should format your document with the following guidelines in mind:
- Type your document, using a single, clear font, 12-point size, double-spaced. The easiest font to use is Times New Roman, or a similar serif font.
- Include your name and contact information at the top left of the first page. Put an accurate word count at the top right. Put the title of your story halfway down the page, centred, with a byline underneath. Start the story beneath that.
- Please number the pages.
- Left-justify your paragraphs.
- Ensure there is at least a 1 inch or 2 centimetre margin all the way around your text. This is to allow annotation to be written onto a printed copy.
- Indent each new paragraph by about 1/2 inch or 1 centimetre, except for the first line of the story or the first line of a new scene.
- Don't insert extra lines between your paragraphs. A blank line indicates a new scene.
- Put the word "End" after the end of your text, centred, on its own line.
It's always worth checking the exact requirements of any publication or competition you submit to, but if they don't specify any formatting requirements, or just say "standard manuscript format", follow these guidelines.

Paris rejects bid for new McDonald's on historic street, again
Issued on: Modified:
In what is now a two-year-old dispute, Paris lawmakers this week opposed the opening of a new McDonald's franchise in one of the French capital's oldest and most picturesque roads.
The plan to inaugurate a two-story McDonald's restaurant on the corner of Rue Réaumur and Rue des Petits-Carreaux – in the heart of the historic Montorgueil area – has come up against stiff resistance from residents and local leaders.
The pedestrian-only Rue de Montorgueil, which extends into the Rue des Petits-Carreaux, is renowned for its quaint shops, old cafés and fashionable restaurants. Queen Elizabeth II famously strolled down the street in 2004 as part of ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the "Entente cordiale" between Britain and France.
District mayor Jacques Boutault, a member of France's green EELV party, has taken up the fight against McDonald's, petitioning City Hall to block the hamburger giant from expanding on his turf.
Boutault said he wants to keep McDonald's out in order to protect Montorgueil's traditional shopkeepers from cutthroat competition and its children from unhealthy eating habits.
Residents and business owners have also expressed fear that the arrival of a multinational like McDonald's will destroy the street's identity, as well as raise rents and price them out of the historic area.
On Wednesday, Paris city councillors backed Boutault's position, adopting a text to "do everything that is legally possible in order to stop the installation of a large fast-food restaurant" in Montorgueil.
Paris City Hall took a similar stance on the issue back in 2013, when then-Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoë refused to deliver a construction permit needed by McDonald's to refurbish and outfit the building that would house the restaurant.
However, McDonald's contested Delanoë's decision and appealed to France's administrative courts. In April of this year a Paris judge ordered the city to re-examine the company's request.
McDonald's has denied that its arrival will rob the neighbourhood of its historic charm, and points to the fact that another burger chain, Quick, and coffee giant Starbucks already do business on the street.

I would like to start a thread about MIDI jitter.
I have been having some problems with MIDI jitter. I originally thought it was a latency issue until I realized that MIDI jitter is a is actually what it is called. The problem I experience when playing is that the response from the my synth module is delayed in an unpredictable and random way with some notes being totally ignored.
I want to be clear, I am not talking about recording, DAW, computer interfaces or usb. My problem is live performance.
I have a old midi instrument (IVL - The Grid, vintage 1984 or so) that puts out two separate channels, one for midi treble and one for midi bass (midi channels 1 and 3). I combine those with my foot controller using a Kenton-4 Midi Merger. I have eliminated the merger and the foot controller as problems.
I think it is caused by too much data being received by my synth module (Integra 7)? (Note I have this issue with every synth module I have tried, Yamaha, Korg, etc.)
I have alleviated the problem somewhat by reducing what is called "instrument velocity dynamics", but this is not a perfect solution.
I don't think the interface is sending aftertouch messages because when I connect to MIDIOX and analyze the midi stream I do not see any aftertouch or channel pressure messages.
Anyone else have experience with eliminating midi jitter?
Is it possible to filter data to remove jitter?
I have a MIDI Solutions Event Processor, can I use this to somehow filter the data?
Thank You

This week's Women in Power is the beautiful Nayoke from "The Journey Online" she wears multiple hats from being a mum to interviewing celebrities on her show online
What made you to start Presenting? And are you glad you started it
My sister Amma. She made the suggestion after thinking about Jamal Edwards, MBE, founder of SB.TV. She told me his story and encouraged me to invest in a DSLR, go into the world and create opportunities for myself. She even came up with a show I could host. In addition, when I was in my early teens, I would watch June Sarpong and Richard Blackwood present the show MTV Select, and in my head I wanted to be them, be in the limelight, be recognised, be popular. As I grew older, my reasons for wanting to be a Presenter changed. I realised that it was a gift and not just a money making skill. I realised that it was important to see people on the TV and listen to people on the radio that you can identify with, that look like you, that understand diversity and that we are all unique. I wanted to show others that it is possible to achieve your dreams so far as you never stop working. Even on the days when you just don't feel like it, find the strength to work.
Sarkodie & The Journey Online
Your a radio presenter at ABN TV Radio every week, how did that come about?
At present, I no longer work at ABN Radio but, I worked as an Intern at VOA Radio…
You have been presenting for many years now do you consider yourself branching out? For example movies or directing?
I believe in being open to all opportunities, so far as they tie in with my gift/calling. If another profession will assist me to develop myself further, professionally and personally, I am willing to learn, grow and embrace that opportunity.
Where do you see yourself in the next 2-5 years?
I'll still be learning, growing, applying what I've learned, thriving and excelling in all areas of my life.
How did you decide to pursue the career that you are working in today? What was a pivotal moment?
Talking to people and having a genuine interest in their response comes naturally to me. In my opinion, asking relevant questions and being an intent listener are two important skills to have as a Presenter. I am the co-founder of The Journey Management LTD, an entertainment company and the founder, CEO, co-editor and host of The Journey Online. I coupled my love for music with the passion I had, and still have, for Presenting, and started my online channel in 2012. Additionally, I believed in myself, even on days where I just wanted to give up because I didn't trust the process, I wasn't enjoying my own journey and failed to recognise my small victories.
A pivotal moment for me was interviewing Sarkodie. I had wanted to meet him for over a decade, had reached out to his team a couple of times, but it was proving difficult to pin him down. After years of trying, I hosted him on my online channel. Having an artiste of his calibre praising the show confirmed that we were doing something right.
What are the most important decisions that you face daily as a leader?
Deciding if an idea myself or the team suggests, will have a positive long-term impact the company and ensuring that it is a true reflection of my brand.
How do you maintain your and your team's daily motivation and inspiration despite obstacles, pushback or setbacks?
Keeping in constant contact, updating the team on the progress we are making, having a genuine interest in their wellbeing and talking through any challenges or triumphs we have.
How do you foster creative and innovative thinking within your business? And How are ideas shared and implemented within your team?
The old fashioned way. Putting pen to paper individually and then coming together as a group to share best practice and bounce ideas off each other. We often watch interviews and/or documentaries and learn from others in the industry and in other fields, that came before us. We network, seek advice from those who are willing to impart knowledge on how to start and maintain a successful business and ways to succeed in ours. There is much to learn from a veteran.
Once we have shared our ideas, we weigh out the pros and cons of pursuing each idea and then make a final decision based on what will benefit the company and all who may be involved at that time.
What's the best piece of advice you have received?
Do what you know. There is no point of trying to learn about a profession that you have no interest in and know nothing about. Build on the knowledge you have first, then, broaden your horizons.
20 years in the future what advice would you have for yourself
You're still alive. Keep going. God obviously isn't done with you yet. Also, enjoy and share the fruit of your labour.
🚨 FULL INTERVIEW in our bio 🚨 – @stonebwoyb 's interview with @nayoka.oware. They talk life changing surgery, #ShattaWale & more… 📹: @oware10 | @jenniferoteng
📸: @michaeltubescreations
What would you say to yourself when you were 16?
You have already identified what your gift is, start working on building your empire. Do not procrastinate. Work toward your dream every single day from writing ideas to networking, don't waste a single day.
If you were a Juice what would you be?
Lychee Juice. Not every one knows what it is, likes the sound of the name or the look of it, but they'd be willing to give it a try… and then they're hooked!
Who do you look up to the most?
Myself. I work towards bettering myself everyday.
Love that response What's the last movie that made you cry?
The Notebook. If you haven't watched it, please do. You'll understand why it is a tear jerker.
What's the last movie that made you laugh
Parts of Black Panther.
What are the most important traits of successful leaders today?
Transparency, to a certain degree, being loyal to your cause, calling and vision, being unshakable but willing to accept constructive critique, honesty and selflessness.
What is the most important characteristic that every leader should possess?
Transparency, loyalty, having entrepreneurial skills, honesty, compassion, resilience and selflessness.
What are the most pressing challenge that leaders are facing today? And why?
Not listening to the cries of the people that they are meant to be serving and fulfilling their promises. Depending on the type of leader you are, you will have a board of governors, a team, an audience or there will always be a group of people who will guide you, you will have to serve or provide a service for. If you are incapable of listening to what they want or making an effort to change whatever may be affecting them, and if you cannot cater to them in some way, if that is the role you are called to fulfil, then you have no right being a leader. If you don't serve the people, they will become disgruntled and turn against you. Selfishness, greed, power and authority can consume you as a leader if to begin with, your focus was on the wrong thing e.g. money instead of your love for people.
Do you have a mentor? If so, what traits are you seeking in a mentor and why?
I do. I think that it's imperative to have a mentor irrespective of the industry you are in. My mentor is transparent, gives constructive criticism, motivates and encourages me and is forthright. He tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear.
What are you doing daily to ensure your growth and development continues as a successful business owner ? If so, how?
Challenging myself, taking the time out to write down my thoughts, looking at multiple streams of income, being open minded and unlearning things I was taught that restricts the flow of creativity and conflicts with being an entrepreneur. I also write a list of tasks that I need to complete everyday. There is never less that 8 things on that list.
What is the best and worst decision you've ever made?
Best: wanting to be more than most African women are lead to believe they can be and taking action to ensure that I pursued my dreams.
Worst: Not starting earlier, since I had already realised what my gift was.
What was your dream job as a kid and why?
To be an actress, because I enjoyed Drama and Theatre studies and loved acting school. Not forgetting that my mum encouraged me to. She wanted me to be on TV and stay away from boys…
What do you think is the most significant barrier to female leadership?
Staying down for too long when we get knocked down or discouraged. Yes, we have to work three times as hard as men do, but if we stick at it, history has taught us that we can achieve great things… Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Thatcher, Shirley Frimpong Manso, Ellen, Wendy Williams, Folorunso Alakija… the list goes on.
What woman inspires you and why?
There are too many to list, as each of them exhibit different qualities that are needed to be great. A woman that does not conform, is confident in herself but remains humble, is ambitious and unapologetically herself. A woman of faith who has a vision and is willing to help others whether she is called upon to help, or not, that is the type of woman that inspires me.
What will be the biggest challenge for the generation of women behind you?
In my opinion, there are no new challenges for women, the intensity and support may be the only difference. For example, the women that accused Harvey Weinstein and Billy Cosby of sexual assault and/or gross misconduct, if this were to be a decade or two ago, only a few of women would have been bold enough to speak up, so the movement would not have been as intense as it is currently; there would not have been as much support due to fear. Although women seem to be more outspoken that ever, WOC will still have to fight for equal rights and equal pay. Women will still have to prove that they are just as able, intelligent, capable, diligent, forthright and efficient as their male counterparts.
When do you feel most creative ?
At night. I'm nocturnal.
If your life was a song what would it be?
Miss Independent – Ne-Yo
And what words of wisdom would you like to share to young and older women in the beauty, YouTube and Instagram industry ?
Never think twice about being yourself. Your true self. The self that you may be afraid no one will except, because you and only you will have to live with decisions you make, the rewards you get and the consequences you face. I'll leave you with one of my favourite quotes: 'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. ' – Oscar Wilde
Thank you, so much for sitting down with me
