Papworth, John Buonarotti
Papworth, John Buonarotti (1775–1847) English architect/landscape architect/town-planner,
he laid out the Montpellier (1825–30) and Lansdowne (1825–8) Estates, Cheltenham, Glos., and was one of the most prolific architects of his generation as well as a designer of a wide range of artefacts. The second son of John Papworth (1750–99), master-stuccoer, he worked in Plaw's office for two years, exhibited at the RA from 1794, and promoted new ideas and technologies. By 1800 he had his own practice (largely domestic architecture), was able to take on pupils, and began to produce designs for publication. His drawing of a Tropheum to celebrate Wellington and Blücher's victory at Waterloo (1815) caused him to be acclaimed as a second Michelangelo, and he modestly took 'Buonarotti' as his second name. He designed conservatories, entrance-gates, coach-houses, stables, and the Gothic summer-house at Claremont, Surrey (1816), for Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg (1795–1865—later (from 1831) King of the Belgians) and Princess Charlotte Augusta (1796–1817). The latter's untimely death caused it to be adapted as her memorial. He prepared (1817–20) designs for the Park and Palace at Bad Cannstadt, near Stuttgart, for King Wilhelm I (r.1816–64): only part of the Park (in the English style) was realized, but Papworth was honoured with the title of 'Architect to the King of Württemberg'. He designed (1819) the famous Egyptian-Revival gallery in P.F.Robinson's Egyptian Halls, Piccadilly, London (1811–12—demolished), and for William Bullock (fl.c.1795–1826), builder and owner of the Egyptian Halls, he drew plans (1825–7) for a new town intended to be built by the River Ohio facing Cincinnati: named Hygeia, it never materialized. Papworth was responsible for many London shop-fronts and other buildings, and was a pioneer in the use of iron for construction purposes. His monument to Lieutenent-Colonel Sir Alexander Gordon (1786–1815) on the field at Waterloo, Belgium (1815), was an early example of a broken column used as a memorial. He directed the Government School of Design (1836–7), and was a founder (1834) of the Institute of British Architects.
He contributed frequently to Ackermann's Repository of Arts (1809–28). Papers, entitled Architectural Hints (1813, 1814, 1816, and 1817), were republished as Rural Residences, consisting of a Series of Designs for Cottages, Small Villas, and other Ornamental Buildings (1818, 1832), and he published (1823) designs for garden-buildings as Hints on Ornamental Gardening. Rural Residences was far more influential than most commentators have suggested: it appears to have been a stimulant for designs by Schinkel and Persius, notably the Court Gardener's House and Roman-Bath complex at Potsdam (1829–37) and the Gothic Hunting-Lodge at the park at Glienecke (1827–8). In fact, he helped to create the rational Greek style that was so ubiquitous in the period 1815–40, yet his importance has not received the recognition it deserves. Papworth helped (1818–19) William Henry Pyne (1769–1843) with the descriptions of Marlborough House, St James's, and Kensington Palace, published as Royal Residences (1820), contributed to Britton and Pugin's Public Buildings in London (1825–8), and edited the fourth edition of Chambers's Treatise (1826), adding much new material; he also wrote Essay on the Causes of Dry Rot in Timber (1803). Many designs in Loudon's Encyclopaedia (1833) appear to have originated with Papworth.
His elder son, John Woody Papworth (1820–70), was the author of Ordinary of British Armorials, and his younger son, Wyatt Angelicus van Sandau Papworth (1822–94), founded the Architectural Publication Society and edited its great Dictionary of Architecture (1852–92). His pupils included James Thomson and his brother, George (1781–1855—who practised in Ireland (he designed the famous cast-iron bridge (1822–7) over the Liffey in Dublin as well as churches for the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in Connacht)).

Marco's Cantina may — or may not — be for sale
WICHITA — Marco's Cantina owner Sam Eddine is considering selling his restaurant and the building it's in at 6600 W. Central, but he's dismayed to find out the property is listed on LoopNet.
LoopNet is an online real estate listing site.
The site lists the Cantina's 5,213 square feet for $1.5 million.
"We're trying to sell the business, but we're not final on that," Eddine says. "I think we're going to change our minds."
The Cantina has been in its current building for 15 years and previously was across the street for another 10 years.
Business has "been up and down, just like everybody else's," Eddine says.
He's now instructed his real estate agent to take the property off of LoopNet, at least for now.
Eddine says he thinks he might "want to continue doing what I'm doing."

Are YOU Ready?
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try and make things work, it just never seems to come together. It may seem a little esoteric or 'new age' to consider, that the reason for our being ready or not, may well be down to our development and stage of life.
"It could well be, that certain other things in your life, are not congruent with achieving that thing you're striving for; it's this lack of congruence that's the reason for failure."
In other words, perhaps it's the order of things that needs to change. For example, is your relationship at the right stage for that brave endeavour into starting a business? Or, as another example, is your relationship at the right stage to start a family? Some couples start a family for all the wrong reasons. They may think that 'thing' missing form their relationship is a child, and that a child, would help cement it. The reality is, all a child would do, is create a distraction for a while. We are then into a situation where a child is actually brought into the world to be used as some kind of tool; a tube of superglue if you will.
"The problem here is, in time, even superglue fails, if what you're looking to bond, has some inherent flaws."
And so, it's important for us to consider the strength of our foundations. Whether that be the maturity we need in a relationship, before starting a family, or the skills, knowledge and understandings required, before starting out on a business venture. In particular, if that business venture involves the often complicated relationships, between business partners or indeed family members.
Getting involved with the Create Beautiful Partnerships Model will ensure you save time and energy. Building the necessary, solid foundations, with those around you achieves this. The emotional maturity, we're then able to demonstrate, also ensures our minds become open to the possibilities presented to us.
"Many people have opportunities presented to them, even placed on their doorstep, that they simple don't see, or see, and then just step over, all because they've not been ready."
Are you ready? Contact us.

Stephen Clarke and George Bangham of the Resolution Foundation investigate the idea that the UK is experiencing a 'hollowing' out of the pay distribution as offshoring and automation diminish the number of mid-paid jobs.
The big pay story of the past decade or so has undoubtedly been the sustained and unprecedented squeeze on earnings that followed the financial crisis, with average weekly wages remaining some £15 lower today than in 2009 in real-terms. This squeeze, which restarted in 2017, has had significant and ongoing consequences for all parts of society.
As well as this squeeze there has been a more welcome shift. The minimum wage has provided relief for the lowest paid. The National Minimum Wage (NMW) and the National Living Wage (NLW), introduced in April 2016 for those 25 and over, has raised the wage floor relative to the median and all but eradicated extreme low-pay in the UK labour market.

The Greatest Commandment is Love
Yesterday was…chaotic, in a word. Our family is having some struggles with this move, and it has led to many tense conversations and emotional breakdowns. My soul feels tired. But yesterday's and today's Scriptures have helped replenish me a little, and I am leaning on my Scripture writing for guidance and comfort. So here is another entry that will talk about two Scriptures. Bear with me.
1 Peter 1:3-9
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls."
This Scripture tells that that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to give us hope. Through Christ's resurrection, we are offered "a living hope," one that is pure and cannot be contaminated or corrupted by this world because it is in Heaven. In other words, our hope is Christ in Heaven. It also tells us that our faith is a precious thing and, though it may be tested, we should still glorify, honor, and praise God because He sent Jesus for us. Lastly, it says that we love Him even though we do not see Him.
This, perhaps, is the strongest verse.
We believe in our souls in our God and in Christ, so we love Him. And that is faith—believing in something even if you cannot see it.
Mark 12:28-33
"Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?" Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.""
Here, Jesus is telling us that what God views most important are two things: love Him with your whole being and to love others. The scribe responds that this is true, of course, but what is important is the last line: that those are "more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." In other words, it does not matter what offerings or sacrifices you give if you do not do it in love for God or love for others.
The take away is…
I am going to make a leap here to connect these two Scriptures, and I ask that you take the leap with me. 1 Peter 1:3-9 is telling us that Jesus Christ is our living hope and we should glorify God above all else, even in times when our faith is tested. Like it may be when we try to abide by the second most important commandment in Mark: love others. In Mark 12:28-33, Jesus tells the scribe that the first greatest commandment is to love God "with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" and the second is to love others. It can be hard to glorify God when we are having difficulty loving others. (Let's face it—we've all been there.) But we must.
We should love and glorify and honor God with our entire being, as Jesus commands, no matter what we are going through. Our faith may be tested with fire, but still we should love God as He commands.
I won't lie to you: that can be hard. Heavens, that can be hard.
What about that time my grandfather became suddenly ill and passed away before I truly had a chance to say goodbye? I can tell you, I did not glorify God then. I was angry. How could He take this person from me, from my family?
What about that time my husband made a commitment that I didn't fully understand and needed to know more about but he made it anyway? Did I glorify God? No. I cried, I yelled, I asked "why my marriage, God?" Did I "love others" in this instance? Probably not. I was mean spirited and I pushed my husband away.
And what about when my parents divorced? I didn't glorify Him then.
But now I see the beauty in some things.
Does it still hurt that my grandfather is no longer here? Yes. But my faith tells me he is with his Heavenly Father, and what more glorious place to be than there.
I was angry for a while with my husband. Unrightly so. But God has blessed us through that decision. My husband has found his passion, his calling. He may not have otherwise. And I thank God for that. And, if it's possible, I love him even more.
10 years later, does it still hurt that my parents divorced? Eh, yes and no. I'm over it at any rate. Old enough to know it isn't my concern. But I am still blessed through that. How? My parents both still support me. They both still love me and care about me. My mom has gotten to do things in her career that she has always wanted to do. I get to visit more places. The dad-daughter time I have with my dad when I see him is that much more special.
My point is, we can be tested, but there is a blessing in everything, even if we don't see it yet. That is faith—believing in something even if you cannot see it.
What do you need to have faith for? Maybe it's a change of scenery or of a situation. Maybe it's just that "things," whatever they may be, work out. Maybe it's that everything stays the same. Or maybe you need a push to love others because you have been hurt by something in the past. Whatever it may be, allow me to encourage you to never stop believing. The most important commandment is to love God and His people ("love your neighbor as yourself") above all else.
So, today, practice love.

A lot of vegetarians get the same question: "How do you get enough protein and iron?". People worry that their vegetarian friends will be missing out on important nutrients if they don't eat meat.
But the truth is that a broad and varied vegetarian diet (that is, more than just chips and chocolate!) that includes beans, nuts, grains, seeds, fruit and vegetables is much healthier for you. Vegetarians are less likely to:
- be overweight
- have heart disease
- develop Type II diabetes
- develop some types of cancer
You can see more of the health benefits at the National Vegetarian Week website.
You can only eat so much food in one day - the more meat you eat, the less likely you are to find room for a variety of fresh fruit and veg. You'll therefore be eating less saturated fat, with more vitamins and minerals. So by doing this G Challenge, you're doing your health a favour with very little effort.
My next vegetarian dinner for my meat-free Thursday (tomorrow) is going to be a vegetable korma, based on a recipe from Taste.com.au. I'm going to add a tin of lentils to mine, to get some legumes in there along with the almonds, vegies and rice. Taste.com.au has a huge range of vegetarian meals you can try - I find it a really handy website because you can just search for whatever ingredients you have on hand. Give it a go and see what you can come up with!

How to go from ZERO to LEVEL 60 DRAGON SLAYER when your wife hates you, your kids ignore you, and your family laughs at you!!! (or 23 steps to running with the big dogs)
First let me just say something…
…I want you to adopt a strong "fuck what you think" mentality throughout this process. You'll thank me later. Half the people you know don't give a shit about you and the other half want to see you fail so seriously…fuck what they think.
Alright you got it? Cool…let's do this.
Step 1. Pick a niche
Step 2. Go to your favorite PLR site and find 3 special reports on said niche. Download them. Make sure you have Master Resell rights on these reports.
Step 3. Break apart all the chapters of all the special reports into individual articles. These articles are very synergetic and flow well into each other.
Step 4. Turn the articles into emails. Be sure to lead into the next email at the end of the previous email. Now you should have a package of at least 30 to 50 emails on one subject. This is an autoresponder sequence that can be packaged as a product and sold. It is utilitarian in nature.
Step 5. Come up with a title and subtitle for your new product. Hit them in the mouth with the title and tell them why you did it with the subtitle.
Step 6. Go over to Canva(dot)com and create a cover for your new product.
Step 7. Create a license for your new product. YOu can model this license after the ones that came with your PLR special reports. But in your case only give [personal use] rights.
Step 8. Zip the emails, and the cover, and the license into a zipfile. Call this file [FE PRODUCT] Congratulations, you now have a finished product.
Step 9. Copy file [FE PRODUCT]. Rename this file [OTO1]. Create another license but this one will give the user PLR rights to the emails. Replace the personal use license that is in OTO1 with the PLR license. Congratulations, you now have an OTO for your product.
Step 10. Go over to wix(dot)come and create a new free website. Call it something that makes sense for your niche.
Step 11. Create 2 new pages on this website. One will be called FE-sales and the other will be called OTO1-sales.
Step 12. On your FE-sales, you need a sales letter to sell your product. Go back to your favorite PLR website and see if there are any PLR sales letters you can use. FInd one that you like and adapt it to fit your product.
Step 13. Go over to WarriorPlus and look at the top 10 selling products today. Find one that resonates with you and model your FE-Sales sales page aesthetically after that. It won't be perfect. They probably used clickfunnels or leadpages and you are using wix. DOn't worry about it. The road to success does not go through perfection. It goes through effort and productivity so your good.
Step 14. Put on a clean shirt, point a camera at your face and record a video in which you tell people:
Step 15. Start a youtube channel and upload that video as an unlisted video
Step 16. Embed that video on your OTO1-sales page.
Step 17. Create product listing for FE PRODUCT and OTO1 on WarriorPlus. Upload the zip files directly to warriorplus.
Step 18. Create a new offer on WarriorPlus with FE PRODUCT as the main product and OTO1 as the upsell.
Step 19. Put the buy buttons on FE-sales and OTO1-sales pages (be sure to put a "no thanks" link on OTO1-sales right below the buy button)
Do you know about The Empire Strikes Back Effect?
You see, The Empire Strikes Back is a really funny movie…
…not ha ha funny either.
I mean it's the kind of funny that leaves you thinking you're not quite sure how you feel about it.
It drops you off at a really dark point in the story with all these cliffhangers…all these open loops.
Sure, from 2018 we might look back on it as one of the greatest films ever created but in 1980 when it was released…
…people didn't feel like that.
Think about it…they had waited 3 years from the original Star Wars until The Empire Strikes Back came out.
And it would be 3 MORE years until Return of the Jedi closed all those storylines that Empire left people hanging on.
From Luke losing the duel, his hand, and maybe even his mind a little bit to Darth Vader, to Han Solo being encased in carbonite…
…let's face it The Empire Strikes back ended our heroes on a dark note.
It was met with mixed reviews too.
People weren't quite sure how they felt about it but honestly…I think they were mad because they got left on all those major cliffhangers.
They got no closure.
Years later, we love The Empire Strikes Back. We hail it as maybe the best Star Wars movie EVER! But we get the luxury of having a 3rd movie to watch.
They didn't have that back in 1980.
So what the hell is my point here?
Why am I talking about The Empire Strikes Back for God's sake and what the hell does that have to do with making money online?
It's something I discovered when I started mentoring people.
A weird phenomenon.
You know how people always say that once they figured out they could make their first dollar online they were off to the races and they never looked back???
Yeah, that's not true for everyone.
Some people experience a little success online and when it comes time to rinse and repeat they run into all kinds of trouble.
It's like an effect that comes over people after they have achieved a little bit of success, but not as much as they had pictured in their minds…
…and now they know what they have to do to truly win.
A whole bunch more of what they just did.
Only now…nothing is new…or at least it doesn't feel new anymore. The novelty is worn off.
Now comes the rinse and repeat portion that you always hear marketers talking about.
You know…"let me show you this easy way to make money online…then you just rinse and repeat until you're RICH!"
Nobody tells you what that's like, "rinsing and repeating."
It requires more discipline and dedication to stay with it, than when you had never done it before and everything was brand new.
The truth is there is MORE to learn and there is another frontier. The place you were trying to get to…
…only to get there you have to slog through a bunch of stuff that you have already done before and that isn't exciting.
It's kind of just a bunch of work.
That must be how Luke Skywalker felt at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
Here, he thought that he was going to go duel Darth Vader and save the galaxy…
…but all that happened was he lost his hand, got his butt kicked and figured out that Darth Vader was actually his dad…
…He must have been hanging from that antenna thinking…
"damn…this is going to be much harder and take way longer than I thought…I have really underestimated my task. And on top of that my dad is a freaking Level 60 Douchebag!!!! Damn it!"
(wait until he figures out Princess Organa is his sister lol)
Anyways, to me…
…the greatness of Empire Strikes Back is that the fans watching the movie were left in a similar emotional state as Luke and the rebels when it comes to the story.
They wanted to know what happened. Instead they got left with a bunch of crap where NONE of their heroes won at all!
It sucked. Zero Closure.
It's a lot like the first time someone launches a product. They might have won a little bit…
…saw maybe a little profit and put some valuable buyers leads on their list…
…but for the most part they are hanging from an antennae thinking…damn now what the hell am I supposed to do…
…I have to do ALL THAT AGAIN???
It's the Empire Strikes Back Effect and my friends the struggle is real.
This is a point where many newer marketers give up.
They have experienced a little success but they have worked hard for it.
And now they think they know what's behind all the hidden doors. How everything works and why everything happens.
Now they are left with the…"rinse and repeat."
That can feel frustrating and boring.
And many times they go running into the warm and waiting comforting arms of the next shiny object sitting in their email inbox.
And the cycle begins again. It's ironic and paradoxical.
ANd this is how people get demoted and stay at the bottom of the "marketing pile" for years.
I want you to take comfort in something here.
Luke Skywalker did not give up at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.
He went on to become a badass Jedi Knight and defeat Darth Vader.
Many of you set out to accomplish something online.
Learning how to do something and seeing a little success with it is a great benchmark for the future.
It proves that you are on the right track.
But you have not accomplished what you set out to yet.
Do not fall victim to The Empire Strikes Back effect and give up here.
True success online has allies.
Positive thinking.
The ability to learn from failures.
And The ability to adjust strategy.
These things have gotten me further than anything else.
As a coach and mentor to quite a few people now I can tell you without a doubt that…
…lots of people give up after they have seen a little success. They lose a few of the critical allies of success, namely ambition and consistency.
Don't be that person.
Knowledge is power and now that you know about The Empire Strikes Back Effect, you can be ready for it.
Go forth, conquer, come on back whenever you need another Star Wars analogy lol!
That's all I got!
Have you ever noticed that the longer you do something the more you either consciously or even sometimes subconsciously develop a set of rules for doing what you do?
It's almost like part of how you get better at what you're doing.
If you do it long enough you can basically develop your own rule book of what to do and what not to do for success at almost anything.
It's like that for me in the Make Money Online space.
I've been in this niche for a while and I've had my share of successes but I've also had my share of failures (or learning moments lol).
Over the course of all that time I have developed a kind of personal "handbook" of do's and don'ts for myself. Things to help me not embarrass myself so much as I move forward on my journey.
I'd like to share 3 of the big ones from my handbook with you today.
I call them the Holy Trinity of MMO and I can safely tell you that every time I have ever ignored one of them I always paid for it. I've never walked away unscathed when I didn't respect the MMO Holy Trinity.
So…okay, obligatory build up over. What are they?
The Holy Trinity of MMO is as follows:
Let me explain.
Rule Number One – Cheap
Is the product you are trying to sell cheap or reasonably priced in conjunction with what the market perceives the price should be?
Just because you are the best email marker in the world and your email marketing book is the best because you have made a billion dollars with email marketing…
…what are comparable email marketing books retailing for?
If yours is listed at a moderately higher price than that, then generally you are now fighting an uphill battle because of it.
First rule of the MMO Holy Trinity. Make it cheap.
Rule Number Two – Easy
Make sure the tactics and strategies you teach in the product are easy to grasp and make sure you have convinced them of this on the sales page.
If they are not then you better address it on the sales page and you better fix it in the product. What do I mean by address it?
I mean make sure you break the information down and make it easy in the product. Use analogy and storytelling to help people understand and relate to complex ideas. AND on top of that, make sure you let them know it is going to be easy on the sales page.
If you violate this rule of the MMO Holy Trinity, I assure you, there is a painful burn in your future lol (I wish I did not speak from experience).
Rule Number Three – Free
The third and final rule of the MMO Holy Trinity is this;
Make sure your product is teaching free methods to achieve the outcome or solve the problem and if it isn't then make sure you provide free alternatives.
If you are teaching people how to write viral content and you use "buzzsumo" as a place to start strategy wise…
…guess what…
Buzzsumo has a free trial and then it costs money. Now you have sold people a product that teaches them how to do something that won't work unless they buy something else (and in this case something very expensive).
That's in direct violation of the Holy Trinity of MMO. You will definitely feel the refund fire if you go down this road lol.
If you are teaching people how to do something and you use a paid tool to accomplish the outcome…
…always, always, always….
…include a free alternative for those on a budget or just starting out. Trust me, this is important.
In fact all 3 of these rules are very important. They didn't end up being called the Holy Trinity of MMO in my personal handbook for nothing.
All three of these rules earned their place by burning me and/or my peers every single time we tried to ignore them or not respect their power.
I can take you on a walk through some of my launch history.
Affiliate Command 2017 – launched at a price of $197 on the front end, thereby violating rule 1 of the Holy Trinity of MMO. It did not sell well.
Free Funnels – launched at a cheap price, promised and delivered easy to follow training, and utilized ALL FREE methods and resources to accomplish the job. It was a 5 figure launch.
Launch Levels VOL1 – launched with a promise of showing people a case study of EXACTLY what I did to produce that 5 figure launch. Guess what. The perception in the market is that launching products is very hard and involved. I didn't address that in my product or on my sales page. That was a direct violation of rule number 2 of the Holy Trinity of MMO. And I got burned for it.
Cloud Money – launched with an idea of teaching people how to make money online, with nothing…not even a real computer to do it. It was cheap, it was easy to understand and take action on training, and it was utilizing ALL FREE services and methods. Another 5 figure launch.
Talk Show Empire – launched with the promise of showing people how to start a complete business utilizing the power of interviews.
Guess what…the perception in the market is that interviews are hard to do because you have to be on camera to do them, and also they are kind of a pain because you have to talk to other people and be social. I didn't address those concerns on my sales page and it put me in direct violation of rule number 2 of the MMO Holy Trinity again. I got burned…again. Ended up not even finishing the launch cycle on this one, sales were so poor (I don't recommend that btw, I should have at least finished the launch cycle).
I could go on and on here guys.
The point is what I am telling you is the absolute truth.
It doesn't mean you can't violate the Holy Trinity of MMO and win. This is the universe we are talking about…it prides itself on exceptions to the rule.
But what it does mean is I promise you, if you ignore these rules, you WILL have a massively more difficult time winning online in the MMO space. LIke running uphill versus running downhill.
Trust me, you can see the difference pretty fast once you go live.
Now look, all of this assumes you have a great product that will really help people and bring value to their lives and businesses.
Can you use the rules of the MMO Holy Trinity to sell garbage?
Sure you can. And people do…every day.
Remember this…
Email marketing is the core of every sustainable online business. Good luck with your email marketing when your selling people garbage and ripping them off.
Anyways, that's the Holy Trinity of MMO and it comes directly from the Kam Fatz personal "rules so I don't embarrass myself…too much" handbook.
If you like this one and would like to hear more from my "don't lose too much" handbook let me know in the comments below and I will have my team of highly trained mice get the message back to me…
…and I will seriously consider it. Lol.
That's all I got. Hope you are doing awesome out there and may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows!
The truth is no one ever succeeded at anything by having the most options. By knowing the most ways to do something or having the most tools…
…You don't need to be the smartest person in the room to succeed. You do need to be the most certain. The most clear.
Success in business and in life is earned through clarity of vision and purpose.
On social media, everyone has an opinion. I do, you do, your neighbor who judges you because you don't cut your grass often enough does…
Have you ever felt like you didn't fit in somewhere?
I know someone who has.
The Man of Steel was born on a planet far away that was pretty much destroyed when he was born.
And although he resides on earth, and fights the good fight, he is not one of us.
I love that movie Gladiator. Have you ever seen it?
It's set in ancient Rome around the time that Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the great stoic philosopher was in power.
I think it's really cool because it's about a guy who just wants to be a farmer, and hang out with his wife and kids, but he can't because he has this very special skill set.
His name is Maximus, and he is a great soldier and leader of men. So of course the Emperor needs him to command his Army. Keep in mind, Maximus has been away from his family for 3 years…
I remember this one point in the movie, he turned to his assistant Cicero and asked him if he found it hard to do his duty.
Cicero looks at him and said:
I want to take you behind the scenes of my most recent product launch, Talk Show Empire. I admit to struggling to put this post out. It requires me to humble myself. But I do so in the spirit of helping others succeed.
At the end of the day, it's not about me and it never was. It's always been about you.
Step 1. Turn off your computer, go to the park and take a walk.
Step 2. Get a pen and a piece of paper and find a quiet place. Write down a plan to be successful online. Give yourself 12 months to achieve this.
Step 3. Come to terms with the art of not playing it safe. Adopt a strict "beat fear into submission policy." Accept the worst that could happen for what it is, your fear trying to keep you in a comfortable miserable place.
Step 4. Take your 12 month plan and break it into 4 three month quarter plans. Each should move you closer to your 12 month goal.
Step 5. Take your 4 quarter plans and break them into monthly, weekly and then daily do lists.
Step 6. Execute. The best laid plans are meaningless unless you respect them. Take action on your daily tasks. Get things done.
Step 7. Understand that the true key to success is to keep moving forward. Take time to celebrate your victories and to understand your losses but only a day or two. To win here you must keep moving forward.
Step 8. Respect your time. Give a dedicated amount of time each day to practical tasks that move your business forward. Your family and friends do not need to understand. They only need to understand that this thing is important to you. Success leaves clues. Some of those clues are scars.
Step 8. If you falter, see Step 6.
Step 9. If you grow cowardly, and you will know by the extreme uptick of second guessing and hesitation…see Step 3.
Step 10. Own every decision, every failure, every success like a boss. Blaming others is for victims. Blame yourself and fix it.
I have. Literally and figuratively.
Not long ago I found myself painted into a pretty interesting corner.
You see, I make my living on the internet, and that is incredibly liberating because I set my own schedule, call my own shots, and just generally do all the things a boss does.
It's good to be the boss.
So good that you might overlook a couple little details. Details like spending more time staring at a computer screen than walking around in the real world.
Who ever set out to build an entrepreneurial empire and imagined themselves staring at a screen all day like some mindless robot drone?
Not me man. That's not my idea of a good time.
And yet…it was my reality.
I would be on the desktop…
I would be on the laptop…
Checking emails on the tablet…
Watching videos on the mobile…
…then for fun? You guessed it…xbox and netflix with a side of Hulu for good measure.
I started doing the math and I realized that I was literally spending more time staring at screens than actually looking at the REAL world.
It was kind of terrifying. It's not just me either.
I was reading an article last year that said people are now spending an average of 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices.
That's 20 minutes more than they spend sleeping.
Basically we are getting to a place where we are just always connected.
It seemed somehow wrong to me to always be "connected."
It has a sinister feel to it, like that movie "Needful Things" where the old guy in the Boutique is giving people all these cool items that help them…
…but really he's the devil and everyone who gets one of those items is F*CKED!
Yeah, maybe I watch too many movies but that's the kind of feel it has to me when you say people are spending more time staring at screens than doing anything in the real world.
I had an idea.
I wanted to know something.
What would I do if I didn't spend ANY time online staring at screens?
How would I spend my day?
What would I think about?
Would I be productive?
How would I entertain myself?
What would my life look like if I took things back to 1995 for a day?
Challenging I know, since the internet is actually my job…but I never backed away from a challenge before.
So I decided I would spend 24 hours straight "off the grid" so to speak.
No internet.
No phone.
No television.
No xbox.
Nothing that involved me staring at a "black mirror."
I thought that it would be a day filled with anxiety, fidgeting and boredom but what ended up happening to me was actually so eye opening that I have decided to go off the grid like this for 24 hours…
…every. single. week.
Here are 5 of my takeaways from disconnecting for 24 hours straight:
ONE – The world slowed down
One of the first things I did that morning was buy a newspaper because I figured I'd need something to do.
What I noticed was that I casually spent the entire day coming back to various parts of the paper and taking in the news. I felt like I was controlling the narrative of my life a little bit more.
I wasn't just being blasted with a steady stream of new content. I picked that paper up and put it down as I went about my day. It was nice and it felt like the world had slowed down.
One thing that bugs me about the world today is how fast everything appears to move. News and information zip along at a blindingly fast pace.
I truly do not think we as a society even have time to process most of it anymore before we are bombarded with the next thing.
TWO – I actually enjoyed reading
I didn't just skim. I must have bought a newspaper no less than 5 times in the last 5 months and never even got past the front page.
This day was different.
This time I was actually enjoying the ritual of reading the newspaper. And when my kids got home I gave them the comics section. It was a good feeling.
THREE – Going clear
As the morning turned into the afternoon I was thinking more decisive than normal. Decisions were coming a little easier. Things didn't seem quite so jumbled.
I noticed that the majority of the articles in the paper were negative in nature or presented problems. Everything except the ads…
…they were pretty positive.
I saw an ad that took up a whole page that was done like it was supposed to be an article. It was cool because it was a hero's journey style sales copy. It had pictures and testimonials and the pitch was at the bottom.
It made me smile because it was well done and I thought it was cool. It was the most positive thing in that whole paper.
I know because I counted all the articles and kept score of the negatives, the positives, and the ones that presented problems to you (I.E. The homeless problem downtown is at an all-time high and the temperatures are dropping for the winter.)
The only positives in that whole paper was the sales copy of ads.
What do you think the meaning of that is?
I don't think I would have had the focus to mess with it or even notice it in my normal life. Let alone fathom what it meant.
FOUR – Remembering Projects
As my focus improved I started remembering things that I wanted to get done that had been put off for months because I just felt there wasn't enough time.
The internet makes you feel that way.
It speeds you up to this pace of content and you have this underlying feeling that you don't have time for a lot that doesn't have to do with being online…
It was an illusion.
I had the time.
I got these curtains put up in our house that my wife had wanted up for a while…
…I got some doorstops mounted that I had bought last month…
…and a book called, "How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative" that had been sitting on my bedside table for 5 months…
…I finally started reading it.
I had felt like I just didn't have the time. That book had sat right next to my tablet for months which I always had time to pick up every single night.
I read 150 pages of that 256 page book. It has been a long time since I read that much of any one thing. A renewed sense of focus I guess you could say.
The book was absolutely fantastic and eye opening.
FIVE – Ideas come flooding through
I noticed that when I slowed the world down, ideas started coming to me. Ideas for products, for blog posts, for youtube videos.
I started the day with a blank composition notebook for any ideas that might come to me. In the morning I remember staring at it with a pen and just thinking…God…I have nothing to say.
So I gave up and started reading the paper. As the day went on though I started coming back to that little composition notebook and sketching out concepts for products. Notes for blog posts. Even ideas I had for songs.
I'm a musician but I haven't written any new songs for years now or even played my guitar for months.
This article you are reading now was actually something I thought up that day when I didn't "connect."
It felt like as I disconnected from "devices" I began to reconnect to self.
Here is what I believe.
There is good in the world, there is bad in the world, and then there is balance.
I do not think the internet is a bad thing. I like the internet. It changed my life for the better.
But I think that sometimes something so interesting comes along that if you are not careful you can get lost inside it.
The idea of having the world's knowledge at your fingertips is one such thing.
A place where you can learn about anything, get instant validation and feedback for any ideas you might have, hear any song, watch any movie…
It reminds me of when Friedrich W. Nietzsche said, ""He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."
I'm not interested in becoming a monster and I'm not interested in the abyss staring back into my soul.
I will take 24 hours off every week from now on to reconnect with reality a little bit. I think it's important.
What about you?
How has the internet changed the way you live your life?
What the hell did Friedrich W. Nietzsche mean when he started talking about monsters and abysses?
Let me know!
That's all I got! See you in the next one!
The 10 Rules of Bohemian Marketing
As I write this, I am listening to the Dandy Warhols play Bohemian Like You. Are you familiar? Better go put it on if you're going to read this.
Let's rock…
What does it mean to be Bohemian?
Bohemian – a person who has informal and unconventional social habits, especially an artist or writer.
Is that you?
If you want to be successful in this online space where Barbarians slay Dragons and Wizard pull bags of gold out of thin fucking air…
…it better be.
Case in point…
"Cloud Money: A White Trash Guide to Producing Wealth on the Internet"
It's a product about creating and selling digital assets.
I launched it for 4 days.
That "White Trash" thing got a lot of people talking. Some good, some bad, but a lot of energy.
And when the dust settled 4 days later Cloud Money, my funny little course with the politically incorrect name had generated $10,426.67.
Thanks haters.
RULE 1: Be Polarizing

Thrilled and excited! Why? Because it's the month for the new products from Palmer's to review. These products came straight from USA and not yet available here. It will be launched in October inshaAllah.
It's not your first time to hear though about the Shea formula. We got the body lotion of this before which I reviewed and was one of the best ones! Now, we finally got for the hair care too. It's the combination of Moisture Repair Raw Shea Shampoo and Conditioner's power.
Shea butter is extracted from the fruit of the shea tree. The fruit consists of a pulp that surrounds large, oil-rich seed from which the shea butter is extracted.
So I got a full size of each (473 ml) and was excited to try it out. Well of course, the expected beautiful baby scent of shea butter is present and this made me fall in love with it.
– no sulfates
– no parabens
– no phthalates
– no mineral oil
– no gluten
– no dyes
I applied the shampoo (light golden brown in color) as instructed on a wet hair and then rinsed out. Upon application I felt the softness on my hair right away. What more once I applied the conditioner? This conditioner (white cream) have to leave on the hair for 3-5 mins before rinsing out for better result.
I do love the fact that, these products suit all hair types! I'm also pretty much happy that aside from keeping the hair healthy, the beautiful scent of it stays longer. I don't have to worry about putting some hair perfume or using dry shampoo on the next day that I don't wash my hair. It's totally fine!
Key ingredients:
What enhances the shineness? It's the Argan oil.
What protects the hair from color fade and dullness? It's the Grapeseed oil.
Stay tuned to get updated once it's available in the market by October 🙂
UPDATE: This is now available in selected BOOTS branches such as in Dubai Mall, MOE, Mirdiff and Deira City Centre, Al Barsha Mall and Al Wahda Mall in Abu Dhabi for AED50 each.

I started following the Everyday Sexism Project on twitter earlier this year (@EverydaySexism). Almost immediately it made me realise that I've lacked perspective on just how prevalent sexism is in the UK. But still, months later, I find myself continually surprised by the obscene content of the true stories in their twitter feed.
I do consider myself a feminist, but sexism is supposed to be a thing of the past – a flawed, antiquated way of thinking that doesn't have a leg to stand on in a logical argument. I thought that when you see sexist issues on the news or read about them in the paper, they're isolated incidents. But they're not – and the Everyday Sexism Project, and now the #YesAllWomen hashtag, are doing a great job of helping people realise this, speak out about their experiences and find strength and support in numbers.
There are a few well-known sexist controversies in the UK, throughout a wide range of industries, organisations and societal constructs. Things like maternity/paternity leave and the salary gap are perhaps the most publicised, but there are still many issues in fields such as sport, politics, media and the arts – as pointed out by Laura Bates in her many inspiring talks. The widespread nature of the figures is both surprising and scary – and the marketing industry is no different.
I've heard stories from the not-so-distant past of female employees being belittled and even verbally abused after complaining about harassment, while others were asked to make tea during meetings, despite being more senior than some of the men in the room. And recently The Drum reported that 49% of women working in marketing have experienced sexism at some point in their careers. This figure is alarmingly high, pointing not towards a minority of instigators, buta systemic failure in the upholding of moral standards.
The Drum's 'Women in Marketing' study bemoans the state of the upper echelons of the industry, with 24% of respondents unsatisfied with the scope for their career progression – concurrent with Laura Jordan Bambach's statistic that only 3% of Creative Directors are women and consistent with similar statistics from other industries that show women occupy an inexcusably tiny percentage of higher-powered jobs.
So it would seem that the marketing industry is well behind the times. But many would argue that some of the work the industry produces is at greater fault – not just for the way that it portrays women, but also for the influence this has on society, women and young girls today. In truth, the media has a lot to answer for in terms of how women are portrayed. Misogyny, stereotypes and double-standards are so common that we as the public are almost numb to them. All too often women in the media are portrayed as the content instead of the person that heralds it.
While many would agree with Tiffany St James, who suggests that there has been a "seismic shift against sexist behaviour," it's evident that not all marketing has caught up with the changing public opinion. Just last month, River Island was humiliated into removing what it called the "domestic anti-nag gag" from its website – a novelty football-esque ball gag that encouraged men to gag their nagging partners.
Similarly, in February this year, two VIP e-cigarette ads received over 1,100 complaints for exploiting women and being overly sexual. And a Top Gear trailer that aired at the end of last year drew several complaints for its portrayal of women cleaning and doing the washing, while the men were out driving the fast cars and enjoying themselves. Indeed there are many now-infamous ads from the mid-to-late twentieth century that are wholly sexist and just plain absurd, to which these modern-day ads are not entirely dissimilar. This is exactly why there is such uproar when outdated and frankly unbelievable modes of thinking find their way into current media streams, seemingly unfiltered, unchallenged and unchanging.
Earlier this year it was discovered that iTunes and Google Play were marketing an app that encouragedchildren as young as nine to act as plastic surgeons – being told in one scenario that "this unfortunate girl has so much extra weight that no diet can help her. In our clinic she can go through a surgery called liposuction that will make her slim and beautiful."
Thankfully the overwhelming response from the Everyday Sexism Project had it swiftly removed from sale, but it's this kind of influence on young girls that can instil sexist culture in the next generations of modern society. They're made to believe that they need to be slim to be beautiful and beautiful to be accepted. These messages, because they begin from such a young age, can create a lasting pursuit of an unattainable ideal of self-image that is perpetuated in adulthood by ads that also highlight imperfection and self-improvement.
"Girls and teenagers are perhaps most vulnerable to beauty-industry propaganda. For them, advertising is a window into adult life, a lesson in what it means to be a woman" (Jacobsen & Mazur, 1995).
And it's not just girls. Young boys will suffer from the same exposure, believing that the examples set are accurate representations of how they should view and treat women.
This construct that depicts women as viewing content is not only perverted, but sexist in its denial of opportunities to women who are considered less photogenic and detrimental to the way consumers, both male and female, perceive women in society.
Jacobsen & Mazur suggest that "the very rigidity of the ideal guarantees that most women will fall outside of it, creating a gap between what women are and what they learn they should be."
The same applies to men as well, though to a lesser extent. While idealisation does feature in marketing aimed at men, they are targeted more with sexualisation of products and consumables, using women as the 'bait' for their attention. This in turn devalues women and is the same circular, seemingly acceptable behaviour that sustains and encourages the rape culture that the Everyday Sexism Project is trying to combat.
But it's hard to know the best way to approach sexism as a whole. Should the larger-scale problems such as sexist marketing, the salary gap and family-planning discrimination be tackled first, or the more individual issues of physical and verbal abuse and sexist jokes in the name of 'banter'?
The effect that any one instance of sexism has on a person is incredibly difficult to quantify. Some people can brush certain offences off; perhaps because sexism's systemic nature in our society makes it seem 'normal,' but others will suffer greatly, both immediately and in the future. Having said that, I would argue that the everyday problems should be tackled first because they're much more frequent. It may even prove easier to eradicate the grander problems if we can first instil a change in culture and the way people think.
"Sexist ads exist because we live in a sexist society. By feeding off ideologies that already surround us, sexist media also perpetuates sexism and misogyny. Understanding the cyclical nature of harmful advertising is the first step to changing it" (Brenna McCaffrey, 2012.)
If people continue to become less tolerant of sexism in social and public domains, then we can have a greater impact on sexism in the working and professional domains. It's just a matter of time.
But for now, people need to keep speaking out and raising awareness. As Laura Bates said, "our voices are loudest when we raise them together."

Digital media company Mooter Media (ASX:MMZ) has revealed its offer for the shares of educational software developer Entellect has closed with a 70% acceptance level.
Entellect and Mooter Media have agreed to jointly create an educational games joint venture.
Mooter Media has received acceptances amounting to some 1.22 billion Entellect shares for its offer, valued at 0.04 cents per share plus options.
The company intends to hold on to 20% of Entellect, distributing the remainder to its investors.
Entellect plans to consolidate its remaining shares and then undertake a rights entitlement issue to shareholders.
"Mooter will now work closely with the ESN board to successfully complete that issue, establish and co-develop an education initiative and have the shares in ESN re-quoted on ASX," Mooter Chairman Peter Jermyn said.
Mooter Media lodged its bidfor the offer in October, declared the bid unconditional weeks later and passed 50% acceptances on November 16.
Entellect separately revealed it had promoted non-executive director James Kellett to acting CEO. Kellett will hold the position for four months, helping to complete the sale and prepare for re-listing.
MMZ shares fell 6.67% to $0.014 during Friday's trading following the announcement.

Where ever you find two or more women sitting together, guess what would they be talking about, other than clothes and jewelry? Yes, yes, yes…you guessed it right...'Maids' and their never-ending issues.
No discussion is completed without having a discussion on our favorite topic of maid..as if our lives only revolve around them and our very existence is only dependent on them,oh, don't get me wrong here, I myself have had my share of maid issues…until one day I realized I was getting fat, clumsy and good for nothing..it's on one of that day that I omitted the word "Maid" from my priority list.
It's not like I don't have a maid or I don't want to keep one oh god, it's so tempting, provided she gives a good massage too 🙂 but if she decides to run away without prior notice…or threaten me to leave…I am more than happy to show her to the door.
These are the possible maid issues you can face
Phew! so what were we talking about…oh yes we were discussing the Maid issues…so let me ask you….do you have what it takes to have a maid? The list is endless..believe me…so if you already have a maid, or looking forward to having one in future..please bear in mind the following points.
- It's a maid's choice at whatever time she decides to come for work..or when it is convenient for her.(non-negotiable)
- You must finalize her salary on the first day of work.
- You must pay her 'Full Salary' on 1st of every month.
- She can leave work anytime she finds a better job opportunity in terms of salary..but if u find her replacement which is really a miracle…you must give her a month's notice before leaving her.
Caution: If you fail to do as instructed..it can result in a lot of yelling and verbal abuse.
- Every public holiday is a maid's holiday…including all the strikes, Sundays, defense day and Independence day and not to mention the day when it rains…after all, she has every right to enjoy the rainy weather like us.
- It's a maid's choice when she decides to clean every corner of the house. It might happen once in a year or two.
Warning : If excessively pressurized the maid can leave the work immediately.
- It's a maid's choice if she mops the floors every day or once in a week.
- It's a maid's choice to mop the floors with the same dirty water if she wishes so.
If you don't want to have the maid suffering why not buy a steam cleaner?
Also read: best steam mop cleaner for everyday use.
- You must provide her with cash even if she asks every second day for it.
- You must present her with a chilled bottle of water on her arrival at work…and if possible prepare a glass of glucose too in advance…as the maids tend to get dehydrated after their long journey from home to work.
- She must be provided with two fresh meals (breakfast and lunch every day) in addition to tea and unlimited teaspoons of sugar.
- Make sure that you provide her with designer dresses every twice a month…even replica will do…after all a maid is a woman too with feelings.
Warning :If you fail to do as instructed your designer dresses can get burned too while she irons it.
- You must be able to afford her medical..including the bus fare and all the medicines, doctor visits, injections and oh, the Nestle juices she needs every time she faints.
- It's your responsibility to provide her with the groceries every time you go to do your own…her essential items include Flour 10 to 15 kg…Nestle. Cerelac, formula milk (yea the one that you give to your child) and not to forget the emergency pampers, after all, maids have emergencies too.
- Every time your maid runs out of balance…you must load that package card, which gives her the freedom to talk for hours without interruption…of course, she is an all rounder..she can mop the floor and talk on the phone at the same time,she would even show you stunts with her mop stick.
- You must not forget to tip her generously every time she tells you the news of your neighborhood, your mother-in-law, sister-in-law.
Warning: If you fail to tip her, she might gossip about you too with the same people and get her tip from there.
- It's a maid's choice, the kind of clothes she would like to wear….low necks, deep necks…caprice with an extremely short shirt…tights.After all, she just can't wear anything at her job….she is not a 'Maid.'

Ruffles released a "hot wing" chip over a year ago. They were "okay" and they faded rather quickly.
Ruffles is back with another version. This time it's "inspired by" Buffalo Wild Wings.
As a promotion – it's genius for BWW. Regardless if they actually "inspired" by helping formulate the new recipe or it's just a promotion that stops at the logo on the bag. It totally reminds me of their restaurant and I find myself asking when was the last time I had been to a BWW. So promotion successful.
So, how's the chips? Overall I like these "deep ridged" chips more than regular Ruffles. Despite the fact that these deeper ridged chips break off into rather sharp angles and stab me in the roof of my mouth.
The flavor of these, seem different. I taste pepper, butter, and even chicken in the flavoring of the chip. The ingredient list on the back confirms my taste buds. It's a solid chip. But like other "hot wing chips" that butter flavor tends to linger so there is a small after taste. But these were fun and would go over at a party or cookout.

Former Oxbridge Academy defensive lineman Tyler Williams and two other Wake Forest University student-athletes have declined to press charges after they were injured at a July 23 house party, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
The students were cut with a knife during a fight at a private residence, and received medical treatment. None of the three required hospitalization.
The fight occurred during a social gathering off campus.
Winston-Salem police said Friday they talked to everyone who was involved in the incident, and all declined to press charges. Police also said no one else was injured in the fight.
The case now is closed and no charges will be filed, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.
Williams played a key role for the ThunderWolves' football team last season, registering 28 tackles, including 18 for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Oxbridge went 10-2 and advanced to the Class 3A regional finals.
After the season, Williams was named the Lou Groza Awards High School Player of the Year in a ceremony held at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott.

High School Sports
Devils conquer cold touch, Chiefs
Dreher has won 24 games this year, and the mantra has been shooting the ball better than the opponent.
But when the shots didn't fall Friday night, the Blue Devils still found a way to advance past the second round of the Class 3A playoffs with a 66-58 victory against North Myrtle Beach.
Tyler Harris and Quayshun Hawkins shook off poor first halves and carried Dreher despite the team's 33.9 percent shooting.
"Is that how bad it was?" Dreher coach Jon Richards asked. "That just shows we were able to gut out a win with less than our best game. Hopefully we'll see it on Tuesday. This was a hustle victory. It wasn't a shooting victory or a rebounding victory."
There were eight lead changes and five ties through three quarters, and it was a four-point Blue Devil lead, 43-39, going into the final eight minutes.
The biggest lead by either team was Dreher's seven-point advantage before the Blue Devils (24-3) jumped to a 47-39 lead on a rebound and layin by Chris Brown 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. But the Chiefs didn't go away without a fight.
North Myrtle Beach (16-9) went on an 11-4 run, highlighted by four points from Chris Walker, and trailed 52-50 with 4:41 remaining. But that was as close as they would get.
Hawkins scored six points and Harris added five points during the game-ending 14-8 spurt. Harris started the run with a free throw and a jumper from the wing. Hawkins then scored on an offensive rebound.
The two combined to score 22 second-half points after being held to just six between them in the first half. They each finished with 14 points.
"They didn't respect Tyler (Harris) from outside or from 15 feet, and he stepped up and scored points," Richards said. "The big thing was they totally overplayed Chris (Brown) in the second half after he carried us in the first."
Brown, who kept Dreher in the game with 17 of his 23 points in the first half, scored on another offensive rebound, and two free throws to make it 60-54. Harris then missed a short jumper, but got his own rebound and hit a jumper before Hawkins sealed it with four free throws down the stretch.
The Chiefs had dominated the boards in the first half and held a 28-17 advantage, but Dreher won the second half battle 22-17 and finished with a 17-11 advantage on second chance points.
"I don't think any doubt the difference in the game was we were out rebounded by 11 in the first half and we won the rebound battle in the second half," Richards said.
North Myrtle Beach coach John Trussell thought his team's inability from the free throw line and turnovers were a big difference. The Chiefs went 10-for-21 from the free throw line and turned it over 18 times. Dreher finished with six turnovers.
"We won the battle in the paint, but the biggest difference was the turnovers and they beat us on the free throw line," Trussell said. "We shot better than them, out rebounded them and scored more points in the paint. Usually when you do those three things, you're going to win."
Greg Wilson led four Chiefs in double figures with 17 points and Walker added 20 rebounds and 11 points.
NMB: Greg Wilson 17, Temmarick Hemingway 12, Chris Walker 11, Timmane Bellamy 11, Poston 5, Jeeter 2. D: Chris Brown 23, Tyler Harris 14, Quayshun Hawkins 14, Halback 7, Boyd 3, Whitehead 3, Wells 2. Rec: D 24-3; NMB 16-9.

10 Surefire Ways You Can Make Your Daily Commute More Productive
You can choose to spend your daily commuting time more productively, either by working or doing what you like to do. During this time, if you can, do get back to your hobbies in whichever way possible. Read, write, sing, sketch, and look for more ideas with which you can practice a new skill. Or, simply take a nap. But, try going beyond reading the newspaper!
Rujuta Patil
Last Updated: Mar 7, 2018
Quick Tip!
Productivity coach Hillary Rettig suggests that you should leave early as it empowers you. According to her, "When people are commuting, they're most likely rushing," This creates all the stress and lowers your happiness. So, spare enough time by doing things well beforehand, and commutes will become peaceful and happy.
Very much possible for those who take a train or a bus and then walk down to the workplace. Choose a different route after a few days, or walk down the beautiful lanes of your city. You can sure find joy in the little things a city wakes up to every morning. Find out new shops or the never-before-seen details of an undiscovered city space.
Look around you and get inspired by your surroundings. It could even be people commuting with you in the train, kids walking to school, a vendor getting his shop ready for the market, and so on... There are so many things around you that can give you great ideas about trends, or you can simply learn so much about people, about this wonderful world.
When you know you are still 35 minutes away from your destination, it is not at all a bad idea to take a good nap. Just make sure, you wake up at the right time - either set an alarm, or know someone who will definitely come to your aid here. Sleep is definitely a productive restoration activity, more so on your way back home.

Tired of the same old exercise routine? Break out of the doldrums with fun cardio workouts that will get your heart pumping without the mind-numbing monotony of treadmills or stationary cycles.
The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention recommend at last 150 minutes (2 1/2 hours) of moderate-intensity exercise weekly - - - and by "moderate" they mean anything strenuous enough to increase your heart rate, respirations, and quantity of sweat.
So, yes, chasing your kids (or pets) around the park counts! However, knowing that you should exercise and actually doing it are two different things. In fact, the top two reasons most often given for not exercising are lack of time and the fact that it just isn't fun.
Since we know that the old theories of long workouts are being replaced with shorter, higher-intensity programs, time is no longer a strong excuse. After all, results have shown that it is now possible to get into shape in 20 minutes – or even less – a day. So, that means that most people forego exercising simply because they don't enjoy it.
There are workout buffs who love spending hours in the gym, but they are the exception rather than the rule. You might love the way being physically fit makes you feel, but the journey takes discipline and commitment.
The good news is that it doesn't have to all be boredom and drudgery. Your workouts shouldn't be just another task that you cross off your "to do" list. While you won't want to ban those traditional workouts altogether, there are more fun and interesting ways to get into shape. One of the best parts about working out is that you can take most of your exercises outside. Many professional groups have realized the trend and are offering aerobic, yoga, and even hula hoop sessions at outdoor facilities.
Remember, if it raises your heart rate, it's burning calories. So, find something you enjoy – or take up a new hobby – that will help you get into shape while also providing hours of fun and entertainment.
Losing weight and getting into shape does not have to be boring or monotonous. You can find fun cardio workouts that will allow you to burn calories, raise your heart rate, and tone muscles all while doing something you enjoy.

Wappa is a term for discribing wooden containers which are made with bent wood and fixed with cherry tree barks to put is together.
That reminds me of shaker box, which is also oval simple shaped box.
Bento boxes are very popular in Japan and many kids bring their own bento to the schools, so they normally have their own bento boxes. These boxes are generally made with aluminum and plastic, but recently wooden bento boxes have been regaining their popularity, although their existence had almost been forgotten in the past replaced by these modern aluminum or plastic bento boxes once.
Wappan bento box is generally oval shape, but the ones in Hakata is square, so they can be easily stored and carried in your bag.
The main reason why wooden wappa bento box regained its popularity is that it keeps rice in a good condition, so that they say rice tasts much better with wooden made wappa bento box.
There are also two layered bento boxes too.
By the way, the dark brown colored things on the front of the bento box are cherry tree bark strings to tie the bento box together.
These are containers to keep cooked rice. These were historically also replaced with electric rice cooker before, because the modern rice cooker has a function to keep the rice warm, so there is no need of taking the rice out to other containers.
But the rice cooker function of keeping rice warm is also not perfect, because it excessively consumes electricity while keeping it warm and the rice also becomes dry. If you take the rice out, for example, to porcelain container and cover it with a plastic wrap thing, it becomes too soggy, when it is cooled down.
When people realized that wooden made wappa container keeps rice in a perfect condition without making it too dry nor too soggy, they went back to the old fashioned traditional wooden container like our grandparents used to do.
The progress in technology has definitely made our life better and improved our quality of life in many respects, but they sometimes create drawbacks too and it often takes a while for people to realize that we have lost something in return to the progress in technology.
The details of these wrappa bento boxes and rice containers can be found on our web page or at our store in Tokyo.
