Every Adventure is unique yet there are some basic things to do and items to bring which will make your experience safe, comfortable and enjoyable.
- Waiver – please print the attached waiver form, review it, sign it and bring it. This helps get us on the road and off to our adventure more quickly. (We'll have extras).
- Cell phone – if you don't mind, please e-mail your cell phone number to NatureVation and keep NatureVation's number with you (216-393-7716). This way, if you get lost, run late or we have changes, both parties can contact each other.
- Meeting point – familiarize yourself with the Shaker Dealership location. The name is on the building and faces Lee Rd. so you may not see the sign until you are driving by it. (3558 Lee Road, Shaker Heights, Ohio 44120)
- Water bottle – it's preferable that you bring a refillable water bottle. We'll carry extras, yet the "bottles" of bottled water have become a plastic waste and water pollution issue, so we'd like to minimize our use of bottled water.
- Footwear – closed-toe, sturdy footwear is essential for hiking. Closed-toe, light or medium footwear is essential for biking and paddling. Flip flops or sandals are not appropriate for any tours and not allowed on paddling tours.
- Clothing – loose and comfortable is best. Hikes in woodlands may present poison ivy. Sensitive individuals should wear long pants and long sleeves. Watch the reports and dress for the weather. Bring rain gear if there's more than 50% chance of rain. For paddling tours, a change of shorts is recommended.
- Head gear – a hat is recommended for sun protection. A bicycle helmet is MANDATORY for any biking activity.
- Gloves – to prevent calluses – recommended for bicycling and paddling
- Sun Glasses – recommended
- Bandana or handkerchief – recommended
- Deep pockets or a belt pack – recommended to secure carrying of your personal items
- Sunscreen – a summer essential
- Water tight pouch – for paddling if you prefer keeping personal items with you on the water
- Camera – recommended
- Binoculars – your preference
For winter tours:
Gloves or mittens; hat or headband; warm socks; warm, waterproof boots

Here's everything you wanted to know about Joshua Tree National Park's namesake tree (and why it's probably not a tree).
Botanists call it Yucca brevifolia, a member of the asparagus family, but it has collected many names over time. Mormon settlers in southern Utah nicknamed it "the Joshua," supposedly because the striking, human-like form was reminiscent of the biblical Joshua reaching up to the sky.
The Cahuilla tribe called it "hunuvat chiy'a" and used the leaves as a source of fibers for ropes and mats, and the roots for basketry. California settlers preferred "tree yucca" or "yucca palm" until the early 1900s, when the more evocative "Joshua tree" stuck.
It's often pointed out to visitors that the name, Joshua tree, is a bit of a lie. Because it has no true wood, it's technically not a tree. Someone – it could be you – might reply that even the lie is a lie: There really is no settled botanical definition of the word "tree."
In fact, the same could be said of palm trees, and we don't spend much time arguing that point. Stand in the shadow of a Joshua tree and decide the truth for yourself.
Watch for clusters of creamy, greenish blooms to emerge following rains in late winter and spring (February to April). You won't be the only one on the lookout. Joshua trees have one pollinator: the yucca moth. Female yucca moths carry clumps of pollen from flower to flower, working hard to pollinate as many flowers as possible so that the plant will produce fruit.
A generation was introduced to Joshua trees through an unlikely source: U2's 1987 blockbuster album The Joshua Tree. Photographer Anton Corbijn brought up the idea of using Joshua trees in the photoshoot for the jacket art — the band not only agreed, they adopted the name for the album (good choice: the working titles had been "The Desert Songs" and "The Two Americas"). Don't say it aloud here, but the photos in the U2 album were actually taken just outside of Death Valley National Park.
They actually aren't. Joshua trees may look lonesome, but watch closely: They are also a shelter, food source and perch for many desert animals. Wood rats use the spiny leaves to make their ramshackle nests. The tiny desert night lizard lives under fallen and decaying Joshua tree limbs. And watch for loggerhead shrikes, a small, innocent-looking grey-and-black bird with the gory habit of impaling its prey on sharp things like Joshua tree leaves.
Why don't you see many young Joshua trees, or "baby Joshuas"? Once they mature, they need only a small amount of rain to survive, but young trees are much more sensitive to drought. With climate change worsening, and ongoing droughts in Southern California deserts, fewer plants are able to reach maturity.
The current prognosis is dire: By the end of the century, around 90 percent of Joshua trees could be gone. What can we do? Help efforts to protect their habitat and minimize our impact on the land.
Some describe them as magical beasts, and spiritual beings. They're compared to Dr. Seuss' truffula trees, Muppets, or visitors from alien worlds. The size and peculiar form of Joshua trees defies a single description, but they seem to inspire art from even the least artsy visitor. For decades, Joshua trees and their boulder-strewn landscapes have captivated painters, poets, musicians, and would-be artists of all hues. Best-selling writer Jeanette Walls, for instance, says it's the tree's "struggle that gives it beauty." Part of the fun is trying to come up with your own words to describe them. Like this haiku:
He stands, arms outstretched
Asking all "Am I a tree,
Or merely tree-like?"
Andy Murdock is a travel writer, and botanist, based in Alameda, California.

It's been a tough year. The news pummels us with global tragedy—Nepal's deadly earthquake, the refugee crisis, Paris and other mass shootings. It shows pictures of weather-related destruction, and it threatens us with impending doom unless we stop global warming.
Some folks watch these things and wring their hands in despair. Others hit the off switch and walk away unaffected because those issues seem so far away. It's more difficult to remain unaffected, however, when tragedy strikes close to home—cancer, accidents, job loss, prodigal kids, Alzheimers, home foreclosure, miscarriage, broken family relationships, and the like.
Last night my husband and I hosted our Sunday school class Christmas party. During the gift exchange, I noticed one present wrapped in paper covered with the words Ho Ho Ho—words associated with jolly Santa Claus.
Seriously, I know so many people who feel anything but jolly right now. They're wishing they could delete Christmas this year. They're going through the motions by rote, but inside they're simply trying to cope.
Perhaps you can relate. Or you know someone who can. If so, be encouraged by remembering the angel's message to the shepherds as they watched their flocks on Bethlehem's outskirts: "Don't be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy for everyone!"
That great news centered on the Messiah's birth. The tiny baby, born in humble circumstances, brought hope to those who recognized Him for who He was. And He brings hope to us today when we recognize Him for who He is.
This season, let's worship Jesus for who He is—far more than the little baby in the manger. He's the Son of God. Crucified Savior. Risen King. Reigning Majesty. And someday He'll return to earth, but His second coming will look much different than the first.
Angels lit up the sky to herald Christ's arrival two thousand years ago. What might His next advent look like? Habakkuk gives us a wee peek: "His brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with his praise. His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden."
Folks, we HOld to HOpe in the HOlidays because Jesus—the One whose brilliant splendor fills the heavens, the One filled with awesome power—holds us. Our circumstances might look anything but jolly, but Jesus overcomes. His presence brings strength, courage, wisdom, peace, and joy. And that's infinitely better than a hollow Ho Ho Ho anyday.

The rock inkie has been a weekly institution in the UK for over three quarters of a century. So-called because cheap black and white news-print meant that the ink came off on your hands as you read it, these newspapers-cum-magazines have covered most nooks and crannies of the Anglo-American music scene since just after the First World War.
More recent times have seen some dramatic shifts in this marketplace, however. For one, printing technology has allowed both the arrival of colour and permanent ink which helps to keep the tell-tale signs off your fingers. Much more significant though, was the demise of Melody Maker, by decades the oldest of all the inkies, founded in 1926 and finally sent to the printshop in the sky in late 2000 when its owners clicked off the life support system.
Melody Maker had been ailing for years; the victim of an ever more crowded sector, in which technological innovations appeared to make the print media, already out-of-date the second an edition hit the news-stand, less attractive, less essential, than it had been in the heady 1960s and 1970s. In that golden era of British popular music, from the rise of the Beatles to the end of the Sex Pistols, there had been a string of inkies to feverishly absorb this torrent of cultural activity. The inkies were anxious to disseminate a flood of news and opinion to their information-hungry customers. New Musical Express, founded in 1952, ran neck-and-neck with Melody Maker during those exciting times. Record Mirror, in 1954,Disc, in 1958, then Sounds, in 1970, added their voices, too, to this hyperactive, journalistic joust.
Circulation wars between the principal players raged for over 20 years. NME grabbed the initiative in the wake of Merseybeat. MM hit back in the late '60s as its serious tone more appropriately reflected the rise of progressive rock. NME struck early in the next decade as it hauled aboard a string of star underground writers Nick Kent, Charles Shaar Murray and others while Sounds, with its acclaimed coverage of punk and then heavy rock in the 1980s, never allowed its senior rivals a moment of complacency.
Yet this high water mark of British rock and pop journalism obsessive, partisan, florid and sometimes vengeful was to face a fresh challenge in the 1980s. The glossy magazine, produced on shiny, coated paper and able to reproduce full colour images with panache, emerged and speedily superseded the sales of the weeklies. The architect of this transformation was Nick Logan, the star editor of the classic mid-'70s NME, who jumped ship with new plans in mind. First he unveiled Smash Hits, an unapologetic pop fortnightly aimed at young teens which stormed the citadel in 1978. Within 10 years it was selling half a million copies, some way ahead, by then, of all the inkie sales combined. But it was his next venture, The Face, a 1980 arrival, that really confirmed that rock culture had moved into a new phase.
After the nihilistic excesses of punk black eye liner, black bin bags and safety pins the new decade dawned in different mood. The new romantics posing peacocks and purveyors of a gleaming, deeply shallow, glamour found their perfect print platform in Logan's new magazine, quickly dubbed a "style bible". The Face focused its attention on surface; the way things looked.
Within a year or two, rock's image as a lumpen, politico-cultural force, had been renovated as catwalk soundtrack: the monochrome rantings of the Sex Pistols were replaced by the technicolor gestures of Duran Duran. In the video age, The Face was the place to project both your new sounds and your new wardrobe. While Logan created a buoyant independent company, it did not take long for one of the UK's biggest magazine publishers, Emap, to realise that a mass readership rock glossy, more mainstream than the metro-cultism of The Face, could steal a march on the kingdom of the inkie. When Q was unwrapped in 1986, it combined glossy paper and colour photography with a respectful, somewhat anodyne approach to reporting bands past and present. Now that the Woodstock clan had been joined by the Live Aid generation, rock had almost picked up its pipe and slippers. The revolution hippie or punk was over. The Beatles and R.E.M. were now just the backing track to a mature, suburban lifestyle.
Sales of Q rapidly hit a monthly 200,000, and the inkies' shrinkage accelerated. Record Mirror, which swallowed Disc in 1975, and Sounds both breathed their last in 1991, and the next 10 years saw NME and MM both owned, somewhat surprisingly, by the same company, IPC in a fight to the death, as the glossies and the internet conspired to sabotage those weekly shots of group gossip.
Eventually, as revealed, Melody Maker, just months from its 75th birthday fell from its perch. Its merger with NME was a marriage in name only: with ruthless, neo-Stalinist efficiency, its sister publication, always a blood-curdling rival, wiped MM from the memory banks almost instantly.
But the story has an ending, if not an entirely certain one. In 2002, NME chalks up its own half century and in a feisty promotional surge will attempt to relocate the last great inkie as an essential cog in the rock machine over the coming months. The campaign "NME 5.0" will include several special publications, double issues, live events and tie-ins with TV and radio.
It has, at least on the face of it, a potent ally. In summer 2001, AOL Time Warner, the world's greatest media empire, snaffled IPC, leaving NME, and many other mainstays of the British magazine press, in US ownership. Sentiment isn't normally a quality associated with Earth-spanning conglomerates, but the expectation is that New Musical Express, 50 years young, will step into the new millennium with hope, if not unbridled optimism. The internet may think it is the new, if unelected, king of rock reportage, but an inkie journal of outstanding pedigree still has the guts to challenge the cold, blue hum of the computer screen.

Oninaki is the latest JRPG to come out of the relatively new Tokyo RPG Factory, a game developer and subsidiary of Square Enix. This follows on from two previous releases, I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear – both of which I think were excellent and enjoyable games. The two titles were traditional turn-based RPGs with certain additional mechanics that innovated those older styles and made for a much more interesting gameplay experience.
Oninaki is a total departure from these two, moving instead into a more top-down action RPG style of game, similar to the Ys series and Diablo. You play as Kagachi, a Watcher, who moves between the living world and the Beyond (essentially the world of the dead/underworld) battling using manifested Daemons and saving the souls of the Lost.
Now, the game itself has some pretty awesome ideas, plus a really interesting storyline that explores life, death, and reincarnation in a very anime-esque way. The problem is that, despite having those awesome ideas, the developers haven't really done anything with them to elevate them to as great a level as they could be.
The first problem I noticed was the combat, which lacks the variety that it needs in order to make interesting. Of course, the idea of summoning Daemons to fight for you in battle sounds super cool, and there is variety within that aspect, but in reality, much of the combat is really just glorified button mashing. Some will enjoy this, but it lacks the sort of challenge you get from a more strategy-focused combat system. Further still, combat also becomes tiring after multiple instances of enemies either hitting you exceptionally hard (usually during boss fights) or dying instantly to every attack you throw at them. Fun for a while, but it gets dull (even to me, who will always choose story over combat).
Going back to the story – this is the strongest point of the game however, character development is not quite as well done as I had hoped. Our protagonist and detailed and interesting, but many other side characters are not, with some of them seeming like a bit of an afterthought. There's a lot of interacting with the spirits which is great, but once you've got to the halfway point it starts to feel like they're really just quest givers, rather than individual personalities that we should care about.
The quests are good, but I found that the majority were really focused around fighting – if that's your jam then that's great! There's a distinct lack of puzzles within dungeons and out and about in the world though, and I think adding some more of these could have really helped to mix things up a bit.
One thing I really liked were the graphics, which were very simple in their design like previous games from Tokyo RPG Factory. Some may dislike this because they want something a bit more visually varied, but I liked them for two reasons – firstly, they're beautiful, even without all the frills, and secondly, the lack of graphical intensity leads to a game that runs really well and isn't demanding at all on the system. After some of the FPS nightmares that I've played recently, this felt like a dream!
The problem with Oninaki isn't that it's a bad game, because it really isn't. It has a lot going for it, but it just doesn't excel in any area. It's distinctly and wholeheartedly average. Excellent ideas get buried underneath repetitive and mundane combat scenarios and, whilst the storyline is interesting, it's not exceptional by any means (especially when you compare it to the previous games). Possibly one to pick up when the price drops.

As far back as we can remember civilization, humans had a need to be a jack-of-all-trades. Stuff would go down pretty much daily back then in a wild kill-or-be killed atmosphere ripe for nature documentaries, and where the skills would play a crucial role in just making it through the end of the week. A well-rounded set of talents, from bartering to fixing to hunting, was the only way to go. If you only knew how to fix but not hunt, for instance, you probably couldn't eat and would starve unless Neanderthal Bob would spare a few tiger ribs. And on the flipside, if you only knew how to hunt but not fix, you'd stuff yourself silly until you got the meat sweats, but when it came time to fixing that bow and arrow that snapped, you guessed it – you were done for.
After bartering took a backseat to random forms of currency, getting paid to create something or provide a service started to take form. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the heaviest shift, though; a shift where people began to not only know a bunch of things but get paid to do them as an actual career. So like any true entrepreneur taking advantage of a trend, Joey Two-Jobs figured he could rake it in off the random crap he knew. Smart, right? Almost a no-brainer. This led to an assortment of odd jobs to make ends meet, and also sparked a movement. As time went on, it was apparent that getting paid for knowing how to fix a leaking toilet was no longer to the benefit of neighbors only, but to people willing to pay for it. And blue-collar jobs began to dominate the professional landscape.
But as the 20th century came, people began specializing in the one thing they knew best and enjoyed the most. The birth of the true "career" was now born, but we were adamant to keep up our tool belt of internal talents in a plethora of random things. That way, if Billy next door wanted assistance putting together the equivalent of a modern-day drone, you were down for those weekend "hold my beer" situations.
The problem is that today, the idea of knowing and doing a lot at once has stuck around and created a rift. In a 21st century era that is fueled by professional careers focused in one particular area, it takes time to cultivate being a badass in the area of your choosing. And for some reason, we don't want to wait around to become a badass; we are allergic to it. Why?
We live in a nation of dabblers.
Dabbling Your Life Away
I'm a self-professed dabbler.
Here's the official definition according to Merriam-Webster:
To work or involve oneself superficially or intermittently especially in a secondary activity or interest.
I hold several interests outside of what pays me to be there 9 to 5, and for some reason I'm always on the quest to get involved in the next cool thing to help me get creative or build some skills. In the back of my mind, sometimes it's with the hope it may turn into a lucrative endeavor. Here's the problem: that won't do me any good, and if you're anything like me, it won't do you any good either. I can barely watch a two-minute YouTube video without skipping ahead looking for the juicy part. I can't sit down and read a news story online because my phone either buzzed or I lose interest. And you expect me to put my head down and stick to something for months on end (or even years), even if I don't see the results I expected for awhile? That's funny – you can go F yourself.
We've been rewarded with the idea that we need these results fast. Customer service needs to come up with a solution now, the food I ordered should come quickly, and the shredded body I've been working towards for the last two weeks should be just around the corner.
In reality, the best things in life are two-fold: they're not free, and they take time. In other words, you need patience.
You want something badly – cool, got it. You want something badly, as soon as possible – cool, but probably won't happen. There's a reason successful people don't give up; they stick the course in something they truly believe in, and only when all options are exhausted do they pivot. Most normal people jump ship the second they sniff a marathon instead of a sprint, and that will get you absolutely nowhere.
I've fallen into the deep end with it, and to this day make a concerted effort to stop myself before I overextend my stay doing 15 things at once. You're probably assuming that I have something against hobbies or trying different things to find what sparks your interest and leads to a passion. Not at all. Here's the difference:
Having hobbies to fill your time outside of what you do all day is ideal; trying to find your next source of income or million-dollar idea while not giving your current source of income or million-dollar idea a chance, is not ideal.
What do I mean by not giving your current source of income or idea a chance? You don't give it a proper chance. When you fail to give something the proper attention it deserves, you won't see the potential results you could have. It's ok and actually beneficial to know a bunch of random crap. You wouldn't have your man-card if you didn't know how to change a tire, light a fire, crank up the grill, or use a hammer in addition to your regular job. And life wouldn't be where it should if you didn't have hobbies.
When you hear "patience is a virtue", it's not just some motivational quote meant to illicit feelings of "your time is next". Because that's not how life works. Life doesn't give two fucks about timing things right. You learn things when you're meant to learn it, not when you think you're ready to learn it. So the solution is to go for whatever your heart desires, but give it an honest shot. If it's something that you think you could take somewhere, block out most of the rest and give it a fair shake. It can be your job, a hobby, or just an interest. Don't just dip your feet in it before deciding the water's too cold. Since when did your toes, just one small part of you, understand what your whole body needs?

Head of Recruitment
How did an Andalusian end up working in recruitment for the Belgian UX market?It is a question I often find myself asking.After a few years working in the furthest corners of the United Kingdom I got the chance to embark upon a new mission with Ariad.The golden ticket in recruitment is getting the chance to work in a speciality that you truly love and I am lucky enough to have found that with UX. Everyday, I get to to learn from some of the leading digital minds in Europe.Better than that is helping these people to take the next step in their career whilst at the same time thinking about how I can improve the recruitment experience for the next candidate. Even if that means embarking on an ill-fated mission to learn Dutch from an app.

Bisous pour tout le monde!
That's a beautiful tradition...
and a lock in pink ...
I love the locks which are now back after having being removed by the city last May. It was reported that some antique locks were not touched... perhaps the removal team felt a bit of "love"
Great shot... Joyeuse St-Valentin, mon amie!
Don't you just wonder who started this tradition?
Yes I've heard about it! It's fascinating. I want to visit it myself one day. For now, I get great pleasure from seeing it on your blog.
Happy Valetine's Day!
Perfect for today, V—and a happy St. Valentine's to you! Harriet -- I think the tradition started in Italy, after some characters in a teen love movie (of about a decade ago) declared their love with a "lucchetto d'amore." They're on all the bridges in Florence. Must say, this is the least amateurish one I've ever seen!
Amazing capture and this post is so sweet!
I think it's impossible not be romantic in Paris! ahhhh what a dream!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I saw the locks there last June -- if they removed them in May, it certainly didn't take them long to resurface. Le sigh, indeed ... I like this one because it took a lot of forethought. Happy V day, V!
Ah!!! Those darned city officials...they sure know how to ruin a good thing!!!
How romantic!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Pamela :)
This couple even bothered to put their names on the lock. So romantic.
Beautiful tradition, I didn't know about this...
Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you all had a day full of love from whomever you hold dear.
I've heard many stories about this tradition, I wish I could witness it myself - it is so romantic! Thanks for sharing the photo!
Thanks for the info, Alexa.
My husband and I attached our lock
in October. Our friends were with
us in Paris and came along. We
all had a laugh....and yes, I threw
the key in the Seine.
A tourist thing to do...I know!
Sometimes you just have to be a
Love your blog!

100% Commitment-Free Estimate
$600 OFF New Roofs & Roof Replacements
At Roofing Contractors OKC, we bring you top-notch residential and industrial metal roofing that will last you practically a lifetime!
Incredibly flexible design-wise, metal roofing can readily match numerous architectural styles, from old-style farm house to houses with a more modern-day appearance. We are confident of our top quality steel and metal roofing items and installation services so we can ensure 100% client satisfaction.
Usually made up of steel, aluminum or copper, metal roofing systems offer some of the best protection for your home. They hold up against high winds, shed snow and rain very effectively and are fire-resistant.
Metal roofing is extremely lightweight, long-lasting and can even lower heating and cooling costs since it reflects heat from the sun. Overall, metal roofs go beyond other kinds of roofing material with a wide variety of advantages.
Professional Metal Roof Contractors
Metal roofing systems are a terrific choice for roof replacements. As one of the most resilient roofs in the market, they're also highly customizable and energy-efficient. Metal roofing systems are a fantastic way to update your home, incorporate aesthetic appeal, and secure your home from weather condition and aging. We also offer commercial metal roofing services in OKC.
Here are the benefits of metal roofing:
- Metal roofing has been shown to last for 50+ years
- Can match a wide array of designs
- Lightweight and fire-resistant
- Has interlocking panels for maximum wind resistance
- Proven to keep buildings cooler
Perks Of Metal Roofs Over Other Roofs
- Appeal and Adaptability: The design choices for metal roofing are practically countless. You can get your roof painted in any color you can possibly imagine. Despite what sort of roofing design, color or surface you have now (or have in mind), there's a metal roofing design to match. Metal roofing designs available look and feel just like common roofing material like asphalt shingle, clay tile, cedar shake or slate. Nevertheless, metal roofing options last a minimum of 2 to 3 times longer than other roofing materials.
- Low Upkeep & Energy efficient: Keeping your rain gutters clean, clearing out debris, touching up paint, and replacing old gaskets are the only things that you truly need to stress over. Metal roofs are designed to be resistant to water and are notoriously good at drying out, so you should not need to worry about any oxidation or deterioration. Metal roofing in both light and dark colors reflects heat efficiently to reduce cooling loads in the summer season and insulate houses throughout the winter season. This can help to lower energy costs significantly (up to 40% in some areas) compared to standard asphalt shingle roofing. Safeguard your home or business from the sun and heat with an energy-efficient metal roofing system. Metal roofing will last a life time and ultimately can save more money in energy expenses over its life expectancy than other roofing systems.
- Exceptional Resilience: Metal roofing can last for more than fifty years. It is incombustible and resistant to high winds. While the preliminary cost for a premium metal roofing system is a bit higher than the majority of other roofing building materials, you will save cash down the road. A metal roofing system can last a lifetime, and it will likewise increase the resale worth of your home or company structure.
- Recycled and "Over the Top" Installation: Metal is the best eco-friendly roofing material on the marketplace. Metal roofing can be installed over your existing roof, which reduces waste and reduces installation time. Metal roofs usually have at least 25% recycled content. This level of recycled roofing material makes metal roofing a "environmentally-safe" option and recycled material item. Meta roofing is likewise 100% recyclable when taken out as part of building restoration or demolition. Other roofing materials are routinely removed and thrown away by the ton in a garbage dump, however metal roofing could be recycled by its entirety.

Spaces with Stories: A Tropical Island in New York City
Interior designer, Kate, calls her space, a "tropical island in the sky," and appropriately so. Her space offers an escape from the madness of Manhattan with its bohemian decor and earthy tones. As the "Director of Vibes," Kate can turn an empty room into a place where guests feel right at home. With an appreciation for antiques and different cultures from around the world, she enjoys getting to see creatives within the community come in and transform her loft, saying, "It's like a painting that comes alive time and time again."
Kate, like so many of our hosts, appreciates how space brings people together. She believes life's greatest gift is "when we are able to really enjoy meeting each other and space can play a big part in this."Check out the full interview for inspiration.
Book this tropical island in the sky for your event, production, or creative project.
How would you describe your design aesthetic?
Authentic and soulful with great love and respect for craftsmanship of cultures before and present.
Can you tell me more about your background and how you got into interior design?
My love for decor and mood developed through my father, who as an antique dealer, inspired me to look at my surroundings differently. Being around all the beautiful works from centuries past, combined with my love for travel, gave me a greater understanding of different places and cultures. From this upbringing, I naturally started collecting unique and authentic pieces from different times, places, and cultures.
What are your tips on making a space come to life?
When creating a space, I find it useful to first get a sense of how you want the space to feel and then to make it come alive with your own unique style. If certain parts of your space bother you, try finding creative solutions. This might involve letting go of certain pieces that you do not enjoy or find useful. I prefer that space is not overloaded so you can fully see and enjoy your surroundings. This doesn't necessarily mean size itself. A small studio can easily feel spacious enough and a huge castle can feel crowded!
Since your partner is a photographer and owns Good Light Works, the space is well designed for photo and film shoots. What kinds of production projects are often shot in the space?
We have many memories and appreciation for the creatives who have used our space for their projects. Film, photo, commercials, editorials, interviews, you name it — the possibilities are endless as far as we're concerned!
In addition to production shoots, it sounds like you host a lot of events and pop-ups. What have been the most memorable ones?
Each pop-up has its own unique vibe but live music events are probably my favorite, especially acoustic performances. Touchpoint hosted their intimate event at the loft a few times and appointed me their "Director of Vibes" (my favorite title!). I'm still incredibly inspired by all the intimate memories and insights shared by the guests.
We've also seen some beautiful holiday style celebrations from companies who transformed the loft so magically. The babyshowers, engagement parties, and other personal affairs are equally memorable.
During buyer's week, fashion designers rent the space to showcase their new collection as a pop-up. The loft completely transformed each time, which is always fun to experience! Also, during New York Fashion Week, we've had designers use the space for castings or interviews. It's such a great way to have such productivity energize the space.
What do you like about hosting on Peerspace?
I love seeing the diversity of the clients and their projects and getting to see the space transform into many different ways. It's like a painting that comes alive time and time again — a real pleasure!
Fun questions:
I love to start the day: Lying in the hammock watching the sun between the green leaves and welcoming a new day. It's so peaceful.
My favorite room in the house: The bathroom, it helps me wash away the day and gets me ready for a new adventure!
The best way to unwind after a long day: A warm shower. Then I love nestling into the cloud couch with a cup of tea to recharge.
My favorite thing about New York: The fire escapes along the old buildings — I love them so much.

(Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Novartis AG's copy of Humira, the world's bestselling prescription medicine developed by U.S.-based AbbVie Inc, the agency's website showed on Wednesday.
Although approved, Novartis' Sandoz unit can only begin U.S. sales of Humira's biosimilar in 2023, according to a licensing agreement sealed with AbbVie this month.
The biosimilar, Hyrimoz, is approved for treating several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, the FDA said.
Biosimilar drugs are not exact replicas of medicines such as Humira, which are made in living cells, but they are similar enough to do the job.
Humira already faces competition from biosimilars in Europe.
AbbVie has signed a string of agreements with rival drugmakers including Mylan and Amgen, allowing it to maintain near-term control over when their copies will hit the U.S. market.
Humira raked in sales of $18.43 billion for AbbVie in 2017.

DIY Plans to Build a Vegetable Gathering Basket
Power Tool Challenge – Summer Edition
Once again, it is time for the Power Tool Challenge… This month's theme is Summer! Since summer generally involves picking lots of fresh fruits and veggies from the garden, I created DIY plans to build a Vegetable Gathering Basket. This easy to build basket features a wood frame with a mesh bottom and a curved handle, and can be completed in a few hours! I've also included templates for the curved handle.
Note that the veggies pictured are not mine (they are courtesy of the local grocery store and my weekly budget!)… We've had a lot of rain and my garden has yet to produce any – ahem – "produce". Hopefully soon!
- 2″ brad nails
- 1-1/2″ screws (<– affiliate link!)
- 1/2″ staples
- 1/4″ hardware cloth
- Wood glue
- Sandpaper (100, 150, 220 grits)
- Finishing supplies (primer & paint, or stain, sealer)
Tools needed:
- Miter saw or circular saw
- Drill
- 1″ Paddle (or Spade) bit, or 1″ hole saw
- Jigsaw
- Router with small roundover bit
- Pneumatic brad nailer with compressor
- Metal snips
- Heavy Duty stapler
- Sander
- 1 – 1×3 at 6′
- Scrap of 1×6 at 16″
Cut List:
- 2 – 1×3 at 10-1/2″ – Frame
- 2 – 1×3 at 16″ – Frame
- 1 – 1×6 at 16″ – Handle
Notes about the project:
Print the templates (Template 1 and Template 2), and tape them together at the registration marks. Cut out the template with scissors.
Step One
Cut the 1×6 piece for the handle to length. Trace the the handle template on the board. Cut out the handle using a jigsaw or a bandsaw.
Mark the center of the holes for the handle and drill the holes with the 1″ paddle bit or hole saw. I usually start drilling on one side, then flip the piece over and continue drilling from the other side. This creates a much cleaner hole with less tear-out.
Draw lines connecting the top and bottom of the holes and cut along the lines with a jigsaw.
Step Two
Use the router with the roundover bit to round the top of the handle (both sides of the board) as well as the inside of the handle (both sides, also).
Step Three
Drill a pilot hole in the top edge of the ends of the handle to attach the handle to the frame. Set the handle aside.
Step Four
Cut the pieces for the frame. Assemble the frame using glue and 2″ brad nails.
Step Five
Cut the hardware cloth 2″ larger on all sides than the bottom of the frame opening. Cut a 2″ x 2″ notch in each corner (approx. 8 squares), and fold 1″ over on each side of the mesh. Fold the mesh at 1″ again (even with the notches) to make a sort of basket. Set the basket aside.
Step Six
Finish the handle and frame as desired. I painted the handle and frame (except for the inside) in the example using white paint and added a wood applique to each side of the handle.
Position the basket inside the frame and secure in place using 1/2″ staples. Position the handle on the frame in the center of the sides securing in place with a 1-1/2″ screw in each of the pre-drilled holes.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was enacted in response to accounting fraud scandals in the early 2000s, such as Enron, Tyco, and WorldCom. These scandals shook public and investor confidence and prompted the creation of new regulatory standards for the industry.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was intended to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures and increasing penalties for corporate wrongdoing.
New Regulations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Also known as the "Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act" (in the Senate) and "Corporate and Auditing Accountability and Responsibility Act" (in the House), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act:
- created the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to oversee the activities of the auditing profession;
- increased corporate responsibility by requiring additional corporate financial disclosures to ensure proper and accurate disclosure of all corporate activity;
- increased penalties for corporate wrongdoing and securities fraud;
- increased the resources & responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and
- increased protections for securities fraud whistleblowers.

Infinity Foundation India has been successfully able to trigger intellectual churn among Indian and Western scholars – among those engaged in scholarship of India and/India studies in various academic settings across various related academic disciplines, among intellectuals of varying backgrounds and motivations – all those who follow and engage with the lively and vociferous inter-civilizational intellectual discourse of recent decades.
The global Indian civilizational narrative and the emic dialectic in English has been literally rebooted and revitalized by our creatively disruptive outside-in multi-dimensional engagement with the western academic infrastructure as it relates to India oriented studies. The conception of the Swadeshi Indology Conference Series (of which this vakyartha sadas is a part) in 2016 has been very much inspired by his body of work.
It is well acknowledged, that whatever be the absolute epistemological merit of western lenses, they need to be engaged with on their own terms and an effective response formulated by a practitioner/scholar hailing from the traditional knowledge system. Such a formulation is only possible when these alien frameworks are engaged with for what they are, not based on some woolly understanding from some previous century. This requires an understanding of the evolution of the various schools of thought, the methodologies of context framing, the frameworks of interpretation, the evolution of dialectic, a larger understanding of evolution of human civilization over multiple centuries across many continents also helps in placing the forces that were and still are in play.
This larger contemporary awareness and global-think is lacking in traditional pedagogy as anyone familiar with the workings of today's vedic pathshala will attest to. The reasons for this are possibly simply because much of the pathshala pedagogy and dialectic has not been updated with the modern purvapksin-s. The intellectual engagement in terms of epistemology and dialectic is frozen, it has remained engaged with opponents at least a few hundred years old. Western conceptualizations of science, philosophy, ethics, mind, body etc. have not yet been formally engaged with by traditional pedagogy on its own terms. A formal understanding of the modern world (analysis deriving from the traditional vidyasthanas) is as yet lacking. There are hardly any organized efforts being made to address this. Efforts by a few scattered scholars, sampradaya leaders, succour providing modern gurus, socio-political interpreters are filling this civilizational need. The lived experience of sanatana dharma and the collective cultural memory provides the substrate on which to test the "modern" in many informal ways. Even ignoring the overtly (and in many cases covert) materialistic, socio-political and manipulative motives of much of western thought, the anthropocentric nature of environmentally abusive "progress" – the materialistic knowledge that are part of the traditional systems and the cohesive systems of harmonious living and well-being are sadly, also not being re-contextualized for modernity. Again, it has been the western motive which has been pursuing the mining of Indian knowledge.
Many of the principal texts and sampradayas have been studied by westerners both by being immersed in the tradition (using the traditional lenses) or outside of it using lenses alien to the tradition – primarily those driven by western hermeneutics and bounded by western ontology and epistemology. Many of the basic building blocks of dharma and the vidyasthanas have been under attack for a few centuries now. As elucidated above – given the state of traditional pedagogy, the language medium of the dialectic, the theories of interpretation and critical methodology, it is difficult for the traditional scholar to respond using his tools to the arguments and questions posed by this genre of text-critical western scholarship (Neo Orientalism).
This lens presses into service the social sciences and postmodernist thought and philology, and largely excludes the sacred dimension. This group filters out certain features of Saṁskṛta and saṁskṛti, while selectively exaggerating certain others. The fundamental assumptions and theories shaping this lens are axiomatic for its proponents, and yet, its implications to India as a nation and Asia as a region have not been examined adequately.
This Neo-Orientalist school is the most important left-wing, post-Marxist, post modernist school today that influences almost all discourse about India on most media channels (print/ TV/cinema/internet) both in India and around the world. The immense body of work of this school produced by its main proponent Sheldon Pollock, and the visibly large number of international and Indian scholars who use his theories, has not been analyzed or critiqued sufficiently in any systematic or effective way.
Meanwhile, this large body of influential work (created over the past 30 years) that this school of thought is continually churning out has indeed been exerting a deep influence (mostly negative) on Indian society and the contemporary public discourse. What needs to be called out are its deeply subversive motives – causing deliberate divisions in society (communalism in general on the one hand, and bheda, on the other hand, between various dharmic sects), the slow erosion of saṁskṛti and the systematic break up of dharmic civilization as we know it.
The oral tradition is a very significant – (if not the most significant) aspect of the tradition of sanatana dharma. The primary texts, traditions, commentaries and very nearly almost all of the "literature" has "oral" origins and has been transmitted orally until the beginnings of the "written" manuscript. The oral structure and form is still the primary dominant form of pedagogy and debate.Even after the written form was available , the oral format and the guru-sishya format of pedagogy remains active. This vakyartha sadas event and its related activity exemplifies the living vitality of this oral tradition. The oral tradition is extremely important both in the sruti and smriti genres of "knowledge" and is a "living" tradition of modern India. Western "research" of indian literature (knowledge systems) has for the most part – completely ignored the traditional formats of study (paddhati) and debate/discussion (vakyartha) for obvious reasons – especially so the Neo-orientalists exemplified by Pollock.
In a truly historic (according to many) and pathbreaking effort- the traditional scholars and practitioners of the oral tradition responded to the theses and claims made by etic (outsiders to the tradition) scholars. The traditional debate on "statement veracity" – vākyārtha – interestingly, is also known as sastra-artha as it primarily deals with statements from the sastra related "texts" only. The statements primarily have to deal with sastra and debate is generally structured around the interpretations and their ramifications.The prevailing asymmetry in discourse (the global academic narrative on the nature of indian knowledge and sastra), the sheer build up of the arguments over centuries, and the lack of a forum for the tradition to respond in its own dialectic was one of the motivations of the Swadeshi Indology Conference Series.
In the oral tradition such an "oral" debate is known as a vākyārtha (a discussion or debate on the "meaning" or contents of statements).The traditional scholars were also in agreement that a vakyartha for dharma would indeed allow for a laxity in the strictness of the rules.Responding to the western indologists' core thesis (translated into sanskrit) would not be a transgression.
In accordance with the themes of the second Swadeshi Indology conference, the theses of the Neo-Orientalists – specifically Sheldon Pollock were analysed and responded to by the scholars of the oral tradition (in sanskrit). The sadas event was videographed. The video content and the related material is being shared here. A book elaborating on the topics debated in the sadas is also in the works.Scholars, Academics, interested readers and all who are interested in the pursuit and protection of dharma are requested to engage with this content.
Infinity Foundation India will continue to pursue more such efforts with the Oral tradition as basis on a wider range of topics , to not only bring back adhikara to the tradition but also to reverse the gaze on dharmic terms. We look forward to your support in any way possible.

30 Aug Historic lists – The greatest rock bands, rock guitarists of all time
CHICAGO — It has been a while since I have had a chance to dig into some more music. A constant reminder of my failings in this field is my 13-year-old musician son. As I am hoping that he is the next Jonny Lang who will support me in my old age, off he went this summer to a week of rock 'n roll camp.
Can you imagine this: a week of playing rock all day and most of the night? This kind of reminded me of the movie "School of Rock" with Jack Black. Black played a very talented but dysfunctional musician who morphs into a very good teacher of rock music to young kids and finds his own niche.
While in this day and age I suppose there are many rock 'n roll camps throughout the U.S., my research identified one in Chicago run by the National Guitar Workshop, which actually runs this program all over the country during the summer in places like Chicago, Seattle, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Nashville.
The camp sessions usually last one week, but if you want more, you can book into another city over the summer.
The Chicago version takes place near Elgin on the campus of a local college where all the "campers" sleep in the college dorms. According to my son, there was a concert each night put on either by the students or the counselors and instructors. He told me Buddy Guy showed up one night to jam. Wow! Where do I sign up?
Not only do the campers get instruction on the instrument of their choice but they also learn stage craft, amp settings, special string wirings and all kinds of nifty tricks that no one ever taught me. He must have been up late every night as he did nothing but sleep for two days straight after coming back from this camp.
He definitely learned some new techniques and tricks of the trade, which he showed me when we doing some jamming together. I pulled out my 25-year-old Guild acoustic and played rhythm to his leads.
We started talking about bands and guitarists and got into contested discussions. This, of course, forces me to do some research. After some Googling and sorting through a number of sites on the best rock bands of all time, I found one that at least approximates to some degree my own thinking. As with any list, there are caveats as to how the author made his or her decision process.
This list was provided by MSNBC's Eric Olsen on March 30, 2004. His rules for inclusion and exclusion are as follows:
• The group had to be an actual band and not solo artists with backup bands. This eliminated a lot of people such as Chuck Berry, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan (and I suppose Janis Joplin, who would have been on my list).
• The bands had to be within what Olsen calls the "greater circle of rock music" and had to generate all or most of their own material.
• Other factors included staying power (popularity over time), musical and cultural influence and the "It's a Wonderful Life" factor, which is the damage that would be done if the band were to be removed from rock history (the greater the damage, the greater the band).
Let's see if you agree with Olsen:
So what happened to incredible groups such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Jefferson Airplane; Pearl Jam; and Nirvana? Wait! There is hope. Olsen does give us a list of what he calls "honorable mentions". Here they are in alphabetical order:
• Allman Brothers Band
• The Band
• Beach Boys
• Black Sabbath
• David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars
• The Clash
• Creedence Clearwater Revival
• The Cure
• The Doors
• The Eagles
• Earth, Wind & Fire
• Buddy Holly and the Crickets
• Nirvana
• Parliament/Funkadelic
• Prince & the Revolution
• Roxy Music
• Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
• The Who
Though I feel a little bit assuaged, what happened to such seminal bands as the Kinks, the Dave Clark Five, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Traffic, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention as well as Cream?
A logical question sprouting from the above list is: Who are the greatest rock guitarists of all times? While no slight is intended to the drummers, bassists, organists and pianists of rock bands, the preeminent musical instrument in rock 'n roll is the guitar and what a musician does with it.
It took me a while to find a decent and balanced poll. This poll comes from CBS News on Aug. 6, 2002. The poll was conducted by the British magazine Total Guitar. Surprisingly, no woman made the top 100 guitarists (no one listens to Bonnie Raitt's slide guitar?).
In fact, only one woman made the list of 440 guitarists (Tracy Chapman, who would have not been my choice). Because the criterion for choosing this list wasn't evident, I can't frame it for you. Let's take a look:
I sure would like to know the criteria for this list.
While there are some very good guitarists on this list, whatever happened to Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), Rory Gallagher (Taste), Johnny Winter, George Harrison, Mick Taylor, Michael Bloomfield (Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Electric Flag), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) and blues guitarists such as BB King, Albert King, Robert Cray, Jonny Lang and of course Buddy Guy?
Speaking of Jimi Hendrix, there is a new biography of him that was recently published by Sharon Lawrence called "Jimi Hendrix: The Man, the Magic, the Truth." It was recommended to me by a life science venture capital friend who, like me, is also into solid 1960s rock.
This book makes for a good read about Hendrix, who died on Sept. 18, 1970 at the age of 27 in London as he overdosed on pills. He would be about 63 if he were still alive today. The book has some interesting pictures of him as a child and at different stages of his career.
This just in! You may remember earlier this year I mentioned that the first rock super group Cream got together after a 35-year hiatus for three concerts in London. Well, it appears that they are now coming to the U.S. for a limited tour that starts at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 24, 25 and 26.
See you next week!

Get involved with and help support independent horror!
For about a year I have donated to a couple of horror movies on Kickstarter and offered my services to local filmmakers in my area. I reviewed a couple of independent horror films at the behest of the directors and used my blog to spread the word about other projects that I feel are important. It is an absolute thrill to help out whenever I can. The results have been amazing. I have made a lot of new friends and had some doors opened to me that weren't there before. How wide those doors are open only time will tell. The experiences have been phenomenal. (See picture above) I can say that there are a lot of creative directors out there trying to do great things in the horror genre that are highly appreciative of any help they can get. They will understand the sacrifices you make (hopefully) to the their cause. You never know what will happen. Click here to read the rest...

Expansion Strategy

Expansion Strategy
TMJL intends to capitalize on its strategic location to develop into a market leading jewellery operator in India. In order to grow its business volume and strengthen its market position in India, the company has in place, the following strategies:
Increasing retail presence in India
Each Thangamayil store should strengthen the brand and offer local customers the best possible shopping experience. The company's policy on expansion strategy would basically speak upon providing impeccable quality, plenty of choices in vogue and excellent customer service to inculcate the focal point of inviting repetitive customers to our retail showrooms. Our back office team promptly responds to reviews from customers on social media with apt, empathizing, clear, complete responses coupled with remedial actions, if genuinely required. Moreover, effective marketing of our brand through various local as well as premier channels including satellite television, extends the reach of our brand throughout Tamil Nadu and where retail showrooms are yet to be established in the years to come.
Furthermore, the company has also devised various sales concepts that revolve around customers and aim at providing them complete satisfaction in choosing ornaments. This enables them to have a relaxed atmosphere and induces the customer to enjoy the overall shopping experience.
From the year 2010 – 2011 onwards we have expanded our horizon in the Southern region of Tamil Nadu. Since then, we have been meticulously planning our retail expansion program to establish retail showrooms in both Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, catering to the needs of customers in this region. Accordingly, we have expanded to 31 branches in a period of 2 years from the time of obtaining our status as a public limited company. Our policy on expansion reiterates the important aspect of covering small towns to major cities. TMJL also has in store an ambitious plan of expanding further in the near future, establishing its showrooms in the Indian metropolitans.
Backward expansion
In order to facilitate growth on such a scale, backward expansion becomes essential. Such an expansion would ensure both the quality of the products produced and aid the company to reduce the level of inventory it holds, as products can be produced as and when required. It also helps the company to cope up with sudden increases in demand, which is induced by rising or falling of prices. Keeping in mind the fact that setting up of a production unit requires huge investments, the company is looking forward to strike trade partnerships with its manufacturers to satisfy the current needs. This method enables us to create a win-win situation for both the company as well as the manufacturer.
Future prospects
Going forward, the current financial year 2018-19 looks promising for the following reasons. The monsoon predicton is normal for the southern districts of Tamilnadu. Gold price tends to behave within a range thereby facilitating a normal off take of jewellery. The Company got to improve its Diamond sales that would have an edge over the bottom line. It has started giving away 'Diamond Awards' to the showrooms that perform remarkably well on a quarterly basis in a bid to promote sale of elite class of products.
Going forward, the uniqueness of the model ensures a comfortable level of net margin availability to the company. The improved visibility of the brand and facelift of our stores in existing towns is, as usual, achieved by renovation and relaunch of stores.

Red Tiger Security's Jonathan Pollet to be Featured on Fox Morning News
Those of you who will be awake tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, you might want to tune your TV's to Fox. I'll be in the Fox studio in Houston doing a live interview on the 'top five new hacks' consumers need to worry about. This will be a preview of the big Black Hat Hacker Conference that I am participating in next week.
I'm going to be covering the following interesting topics, so hope you get a chance to catch the segment:
1. Online Banking Risk – Hackers have uncovered new flaws in the security technology (known as SSL/TSL) that makes it safe to buy and bank online. This puts you at added risk, especially if you use a public WiFi connection or discard an old phone or laptop that was used for online banking in the past.
2. Your Phone Can Be Cloned – Several new phone hacking threats will be revealed this weekend, but one of the most disturbing is a 'cloning attack' that can let someone else watch everything you do on your phone and even impersonate you. This scam uses a hacked CDMA femtocell to trick your phone into connecting with it instead of the cell tower.
3. Medical Devices – It may sound like science fiction, but hacking the human body is now a reality – if you have a pacemaker or other implantable medical device, you can be hacked.
4. Remote Controlling Your Car – As cars are becoming more computerized, they're also becoming more vulnerable to hackers. Some are able to control the braking and steering of the car.
5. New Stalker Tool – A new tool called CreepyDOL is being released, which can let a person track everything you do online, and know your exact physical location.
Don't miss this informative and fun briefing on Fox!

"The cabinet has approved the bill. We will try to bring it in the Lok Sabha [lower house of the Indian Parliament] this week," K V Thomas, India's food minister, told reporters after the cabinet meeting.
The cabinet, headed by Manmohan Singh, the country's prime minister, cleared the bill.
The disparity between its rich and poor is the biggest problem that the largest democracy, and the second fastest growing economy in the world faces today.
"Food security is as much a basic human right as the right to education or the right to health care," said Palaniappan Chidambaram, India's finance minister in his budget speech on February 28.
The new law proposes to provide rice at Rs.3 per kg, wheat at Rs.2 per kg and millet at Rs.1 per kg.
A study released in 2012 by the prime minister revealed that 42 per cent of Indian children are suffering from malnutrition, which manifests directly from abject poverty.
The total food subsidy bill for 2013-14 will be around $18.4 billion including the costs of the food security programme, according to Indian government estimates.
The Food Bill, which was first tabled in 2011, does away with the Below Poverty Line and Above Poverty Line distinction.

"I Dont wanna be here," tweeted then-Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe on Oct. 22. When he pressed send, Bledsoe had used a little over seven per cent of Twitter's now 280-character limit to captivate the entire basketball world.
Within a few hours, sports news sites picked up the tweet and framed articles around it. Was Bledsoe requesting a trade? After a mess of drama, it turned out he was. Two weeks later, he was shipped to the Milwaukee Bucks. On Nov. 7, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN confirmed the details of the Bledsoe trade, finally putting an end to the rumour mill that began spinning as a result of Bledsoe's own tweet.
Once upon a time, all sports stories broke through exceptional reporting. Sportswriters worked hard to accumulate sources, fact-check, and get a story to print or publish online. But then came Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, and the players themselves joined in, accepting the social media revolution with open arms. The wall between players and their fans broke down, allowing them to communicate with each other directly.
This has allowed players to break their own news. On Dec. 1, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that minor league baseball pitcher Christian Binford had signed with the Orioles. His source was an update to Binford's Twitter biography.
Athletes have even started their own publication of sorts, in the form of Derek Jeter's The Players' Tribune. Boasting an extensive list of contributors from the sports world, the website has broken stories as big as last year's Kevin Durant free agency decision, and regularly posts content from players in order "to connect directly with their fans, in their own words."
For some, the written word isn't enough, giving rise to podcasting. After a season of co-hosting their popular podcast "Road Trippin'," Cleveland Cavaliers players Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye were separated in October. With Jefferson's release, the podcast rebranded as "Road Trippin': Richard vs. Channing," allowing the athletes to continue ushering in guests like Kyrie Irving with his flat earth theories. Fans can get an inside look at players' lives through other podcasts from Golden State Warrior Draymond Green and Philadelphia 76er J.J. Redick. Redick's podcast rebooted on Nov. 29 on Bill Simmons' The Ringer podcast network, and the first episode features his Internet-famous teammate Joel Embiid.
In the podcast, Embiid revealed some of the secrets behind his Internet fame and what lies behind his success with the fanbase. Although he's just having fun, he is aware of his reputation as a bit of a troll on social media; he embraces trash talk through Twitter and Instagram, especially through creative use of locations. Thanks to social media, fans can enjoy a side of Embiid that would otherwise go unseen.
The way fans interact with sports is constantly evolving. Sports has turned into a two-screen experience with social media, and it looks as if ways to watch and interact with our favourite athletes will only get more dynamic. That's the sports world we're headed toward, and, as fans, we should be thrilled. The more fans get to learn about the magic behind athletes' madness, the more they should know they 'wanna be' here—unlike Bledsoe in Phoenix.
