Cholesterol is one of those terminologies that need a clear and fresh understanding, right from scratch. It is nothing but obvious and common for you to primarily know about the ill effects of cholesterol and what it does to your body; from increasing the risks of cardio-vascular diseases to adding to your waistline. However, it is time we all got a fresh perspective on what cholesterol is.
So, to start off, what is actually cholesterol?
It is waxy substance produced by the liver which plays an important role in the proper functioning of the cells, digestive process and synthesis of Vitamin D in the body. As cholesterol is a fat based substance that does not dissolve in blood, it is transported, throughout the body, by a protein called the 'lipoprotein'. The lipoproteins that carry cholesterol are of two types: Low-Density
Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
Why is LDL 'bad'?
LDL is known as 'bad' cholesterol as it is responsible for plaque formation that reduces flexibility of the arteries and tends to clog them.
Why is HDL 'good'?
HDL is known as the 'good' cholesterol because it gets rid of excessive LDL from the arteries and transports them to the liver where they can be broken down. Too much of bad cholesterol in the body can lead to clogged arteries that may result in stroke or a heart attack. Now that you know that too much LDL cholesterol is bad for you, you need to keep it under control while raising the good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
In order to do that, you need to make certain modifications in your lifestyle.
Some of them can be:
- Eat foods that are good for the heart: Avoid eating saturated fats and trans-fats as they raise LDL levels in the body. Instead, choose foods that are rich in the heart healthy monounsaturated fats such as almonds and olive oil. Also, include foods that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish oil; these fatty acids increase HDL levels in the blood.
- Exercise regularly: Exercise not only helps you to lose calories but also increases the good cholesterol levels in the body. Aim for 20-30 minutes of cardiovascular exercises in the form of brisk walking, running or cycling to keep your heart muscles healthy.
- Stop smoking: Smoking can cause the blood vessels to narrow down, thus increasing blood pressure, owing to the constriction of the blood vessels. Quit smoking right away and your ticker will thank you for it. Remember to limit alcohol consumption as well.
- Maintain optimal weight levels: It's time to get rid of all the excess fat from the body, especially the visceral fat (abdominal fat). Obesity increases the risk of heart diseases and also has a negative effect on the cholesterol levels. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a cardiologist.

Ian Healy's Story
"Sport has brought me great pleasure, fond memories and lasting friendships, and taken me to many parts of the world I could only dream of seeing as a kid growing up in Biloela. My school sports days played a huge part in defining my personal and emotional development. So when I was approached way back in 1999 to head up the Queensland School Sport Foundation to assist to defray the costs associated with playing representative school sport for families of talented athletes, I was only too willing to help.
Since this time we have provided financial assistance to over 500 talented Queensland School sports students to support their further sporting endeavours. Some of the athletes that have gone onto to higher honours include Sally Pearson (London Gold Medallist, David Pocock and Ben Daley (Wallabies), Ashleigh Gentle (Triathlon), Jamie Lee Lewis, (Australian Water polo), Brooke Spence (International softball), Brendan Hall (Paralympic Gold Medallist), Lakeisha Patterson (Paralympic Gold Medallist) and Grace Zylstra (international baseball).
In 2009 we further broadened the scope of our work by redefining the word 'great'. We changed the organisations name to Future State Greats and this coincided with shifting our administration from the Education Queensland to an independent limited guarantee organisation. We now have a formal agreement with Educational Queensland and will continue to support Queensland School Sport students exclusively.
We started a program called Aspirations4Kids in Sport project which identifies kids in need and supports them in a variety of ways so that they don't miss out on participating in their chosen sport. Since this time we have assisted over 1,000 kids and via the assistance of the Australian Sports Foundation we now raise money from donations and offer tax deductions.
The evolution continues and from 1st January 2016, we changed our organisation's name to Aspirations4Kids in Sport Ltd. to better reflect our core business of ensuring Queensland kids in need have the opportunity to participate in school sport. Our core belief that the positive virtues of sport can make a difference to the lives of our young people and contribute to the betterment of society continues to remain in our sights and guide our thinking.
It's been an amazing journey and I feel quite humbled when I see some of the hardship in our society and honoured to be playing some small part in making a difference to the lives of young Queenslanders as we continue to find ….. our next great story!"
Ian Healy
Chairman – Aspirations4Kids in Sport Ltd

An industrial barbell is straight piece of ear jewelry that is used to pierce the ear cartilage. Two perforations are created in the ear cartilage, which helps the person wear numerous types of industrial barbell jewelry including the orbital ear, twisted ear, and long straight barbell jewelry. Industrial barbell jewelry is available in numerous designs and shapes including orbital, spiral, and straight jewelry. Any two parts of the ear cartilage may be chosen for ear cartilage piercing that permit the wearing of an orbital, spiral, or long bar shape.
At least two piercings are created in the ear, which are connected through an industrial barbell, are known as an industrial ear piercing. The individual determines an extremely exceptional type of industrial barbell that is to be worn following the healing of the industrial piercing. If you have not determined which type of jewelry you want to wear in your industrial piercing you can look on numerous websites on the Internet where you will find a variety of barbells to choose from. These websites will help you to choose whatever design you are attracted to. The straight industrial barbell was very popular until a few years ago. This type of industrial barbell is now paving the way for spiral barbell to be worn only following an industrial piercing. The helix barbell was seen only in 1992. However, today the helix type of ear piercing is only preferred with a vertical piercing and the outer/inner conch piercing is the most desired.
The industrial ear piercing is the most popular because it takes up two sites through the ear cartilage in which a long industrial barbell which is available in various designs, shapes, and sizes including the twisted barbell, the long barbell, and the spiral barbell. The ear cartilage is pierced with a long barbell from behind the ear and is taken to the upper portion of the ear where it is screwed with a ball like bed. This is known as a helix piercing.
There are basically three types of industrial piercings available today which become very popular. They are the helix spiral piercing, which is very attractive and beautiful, the orbital piercing in which the ear is pierced on two sites of the ear cartilage, and the vertical industrial piercing which is also very popular.
Industrial piercing will permit a person to select for a variety of different pieces of jewelry, all of which are very becoming.

Children's Faith Formation
Sacred Heart Parish Children's Faith Formation program strives to compliment families and support the Christian values and attitudes fostered by parents. It is expected that families participate at Sunday Mass and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation on a regular basis, attend seasonal and liturgical celebrations, and service opportunities. Consistency between what the Church teaches and what is lived out in family life is fundamental if children are to understand that we, as disciples of Christ, live out our faith life each and every day.
Children's Faith Formation is held on Sundays from September through April from 10:50 am - 12:15 pm. Children in grades 1 - 8 receive formal instructions from dedicated and faithful volunteer catechists (instructors). The program also includes opportunities for family sessions held in the auditorium which provide whole family catechesis enriching our families on chosen faith topics. Parents are also given the opportunity to fulfill their role as primary educators of the faith through lessons sent home to be covered as a family on scheduled HOME FIRE (Families In Religious Education) sessions which are scheduled on Sundays surrounding civil legal holidays.
We will begin a new faith formation year on Sunday, September 10, 2017 from 10:50 am - 12:15 pm with parents and students gathering in the Auditorium for a special time with prayer, meeting your child's catechist, discovering what is in store for the upcoming year, and a potluck brunch! Families are asked to bring a covered dish enough to feed 5 - 8 people. Place settings and beverages will be provided.
Parents are asked to complete the Registration Forms and bring them and the fee of $45 per child with you on September 10th. Please complete only one "Family Registration Form" per family; please complete an individual "Student Registration Form" for each child registering into the program. The annual fee of $45 (checks made payable to Sacred Heart Parish) helps to defray the cost of supplies and textbooks.
For more information on our program, please contact Sharon Smoller in the Religious Education Office at 412-661-0187 ext. 118.

Urge Senators and Representatives to OPPOSE These Bills
On March 15 S. 575, the Debit Interchange Fee Study Act of 2011, was introduced in the Senate by Senators Tester (D-MT), Corker (R-TN), Roberts (R-KS), Coons (D-DE), Lee (R-UT), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Toomey (R-PA), Kyl (R-AZ), and Carper (D-DE) to delay for 2 years Final Rulemaking on debit interchange reforms. H.R. 1081 has also just been introduced in the House by Representative Capito (R-WV) to delay Final Rulemaking as well for 1 year with an 8 month study. Delay will effectively KILL these important reforms and rob merchants and consumers of relief from onerous debit interchange fees.

Of all the games that should be released this week. This has been one of the more interesting titles i've been looking forward to.
Look at the game trailer and you might know what im talking about:
I just hope it's as good as the trailer.
EDIT: Added youtube vid of it.
I remember I enjoyed Tom and Jerry for the NES (or was it SNES?)
Maybe this will resurrect some good memories! XD
Looks sweet on DS according to that trailer.
The GBA version looks like a throwaway.
Maybe ??? But I will try both of course.
Seems very limited. You run forward automatically, using the d-pad to dodge left and right and L to jump, then come across "touch time" tasks where you have to do a gesture with the stylus to trigger a cut scene of you torturing Tom in some way.
wow, this actually looks pretty good...
I just beat the game lol
It's not a bad game, but it's not what I expected. Like an auto racing mini ouendan (main game). Then there are three other modes with different goals, but pretty much the same gameplay.
Works under G6 with FATmode+Force R/W + Trim.
Wow, it looks like the publisher actually took time making this game by the looks of the video.
after 1957 , this cartoon begin degrade ....
Is this working on the Supercard? I got a zero bite file.
Although this computer only has v255c on it.
I've been waiting for this rom for ages!
From the video the NDS one looks like mostly cut scenes but it looks so very well animated regardless.
Didnt see alot of actual gameplay but Id definitly not regret buying the game.
Though the GBA game looks like utter crap, they souldnt have even had it on the video at all.
Just totally ruined the awsomeness of the NDS game.
Wich btw actually gave me a small laugh.
Gotta try this game out now xD

Great news, guys:
Source: BusinessWeek: Apple to meet iPhone demand with 3 million units upon launch
Very few products have had as much hype as the iPhone, so I'm not surprised that Apple is shipping out so many iPhones for the release date.
Do you think they will sell out? If they do, Apple must be making a lot of money. They'll have gained billions in revenue right off the bat.

An arrest warrant is imminent for Jose Carrasquillo, 26, charging him with rape and related offenses in connection with the attack on the 11-year-old.
He's now being held on unrelated charges.
Police announced Tuesday that DNA samples link Carrasquillo to the scene of the rape. They found an blood stain and a fingerprint on a discarded toilet in the yard where the girl was raped.
"Which indicated to us that Mr. Carrasquillo had, in fact, been there," said Capt. John Darby of Special Victims.
Evidence linked to Carrasquillo was also found in the young victim's underwear.
Police say there were also key pieces of evidence left behind, including his sunglasses. They were able to extract DNA samples from the sweat on those sunglasses.
Furthermore, investigators say the shorts Carrasquillo was wearing the day he was arrested had blood stains on them that matched that of the young victim.
Authorities plan to announce the charges against Carrasquillo at a Tuesday afternoon news conference.
Police say Carrasquillo can be seen on surveillance video walking alongside the 11-year-old victim as she walked her little sister to daycare back Monday, June 1st.
Minutes later, investigators allege Carrasquillo dragged her down an alleyway and brutally raped the child in a secluded backyard.
RELATED VIDEO: Rape suspect seen on surveillance video
An all-out search was launched for the suspect. Days later, Carrasquillo was spotted by David Vargas, 18, and Fernando Genuall, 19, in the area of Front and Clearfield. They recognized him and attacked him, holding him until police arrived.
RELATED VIDEO: Carrasquillo's beating caught on video
Vargas and Genuall each received rewards of nearly $6,000 for their part in Carrasquillo's capture.
Carrasquillo will also be charged with groping a 15-year-old girl outside the Kensington Creative and Performing Arts High School on June 1st, just an hour before the rape of the 11-year-old.
Police say the girl has now identified Carrasquillo as the man who groped her.
After the girl was groped, police say the man went into the school, sat down in the cafeteria, and had breakfast.
In a statement released by the Philadelphia School District, officials say the girl saw the intruder and started to scream. That caused the man to run out of the school.
Police say they have two more cases that may be linked to Carrasquillo. They add, they're going back through years of evidence to see if Carrasquillo is linked to those.
They're now wondering if they have a serial rapist on their hands.

Having been very wary of the whole of the JavaScript world for the last couple of years (the constant churn of frameworks is one big joke right?), I was pretty wary of the world of Webpack. But I must say Webpack is pretty cool. Especially when you can transpile JavaScript from ES6 to ES5 into the final output bundle. JavaScript has finally become a good language to code in. Most Webpack tutorials online tend to focus on how to setup Webpack within a node.js environment, but there were very few resources on how to get Webpack / Hot reloading / React working with a server other than a node.js / Express server.
I spent a while time figuring out how to get Webpack setup with a barebones Sinatra server. My general proof of concept for the application architecture was that I would run a simple Sinatra server using Rackup and spawn a new webpack-dev-server instance to run the Webpack / React app on a separate process / port, and proxy requests to the webpack-dev-server port through my Sinatra app.
Setting up the skeleton application
First off we need to do some setting up. This will include setting up the Ruby environment, the Rack config file (`config.ru`) and various other things. I'll focus on the server-side element first, as this is considerably easier to get your head around!
First off, we need to make a new directory to house our application:
mkdir sinatra-webpack && cd sinatra-webpack
Once we have done this, we need to create a couple of config files in the root of the directory (run the commands below consecutively):
touch Gemfile touch index.html touch server.rb touch webpack.config.js touch config.ru touch .babelrc
Don't worry about the contents of each of these files for the meantime. I will guide you through the population of each one by one. But for now, we need to setup a simple Sinatra server which in turn will launch a separate webpack-dev-server process and also proxy requests through to the React app.
The general folder structure of the application will eventually look like the below:
The server
In our Gemfile, we need to specify these gems:
source 'https://rubygems.org' ruby '2.3.1' gem 'rack-proxy' gem 'sinatra' gem 'sinatra-contrib'
rack-proxy will help us proxy requests to the relevant route through to our React app and Sinatra is just a simple web server (way easier than Rails). Finally on this one, we need to run bundle install to install the relevant gems.
Next up, we need to configure our config.ru file so that we can run the Sinatra app using the Rackup command line tool. The config.ru file is very simple, it basically does these things:
- Configures a new AppProxy class which rewrites the HTTP_HOST value to localhost:8081 (which just happens to be the port my webpack-dev-server runs on)
- Uses the URLMap feature to run the Sinatra server and the Webpack-dev-server instances simulataneously on the same port.
What this effectively means is that our Sinatra routes (e.g. /companies.json) will be namespaced to the /api route whereas the Webpack bundle will sit at /
Our config.ru file will now look like below:
require './server' require 'rack-proxy' class AppProxy < Rack::Proxy def rewrite_env(env) env['HTTP_HOST'] = 'localhost:8081' env end end run Rack::URLMap.new( '/api' => Server, '/' => AppProxy.new )
Setting up server.rb
As you may have seen in the previous step detailing the contents of the config.ru file, we are require-ing ./server.rb. The Sinatra server is very simple, and only offers one endpoint which will return a JSON payload of "companies". The server also spawns a new process when Rackup is first initialized to run our webpack-dev-server instance. I use the port 8081 as this is what I have configured in my webpack.config.js file (we will go over this later).
require 'sinatra/base' require 'sinatra/json' class Server < Sinatra::Base pid = Process.spawn('./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server') Process.detach(pid) puts "webpack dev server pid: #{pid}" get '/companies.json' do companies = [] 1.upto(50) do |i| companies << { name: "Company #{i}", id: i } end json :companies => companies end end
At this point you should probably test that all of the moving parts are working, by running the rackup command and visiting http://localhost:9292/api/companies.json in your browser. A big lump of JSON should be served up. That is it for our server-side code! Now onto the client-side stuff...
Setting up Webpack
I guess the first thing we should do is populate index.html. It is very simple, and merely references the bundled version of the React app as bundled by Webpack:
  <meta charset="utf-8">

Easy so far. Now we need to setup our package.json which will hold all of our JavaScript dependencies. You can use the npm init command here, or create the package.json file manually at the root of the application folder. My package.json has various dev dependencies, all of which should go in the devDependencies section (I would copy my dependencies exactly including version numbers to ensure you don't run into any problems). I only have two production dependencies (React and Reqwest):
{ "name": "sinatra-webpack", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "webpack.config.js", "dependencies": { "react": "^15.4.2", "reqwest": "^2.0.5" }, "devDependencies": { "babel-core": "^6.22.1", "babel-loader": "^6.2.10", "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.22.0", "babel-preset-react": "^6.22.0", "jsx-loader": "^0.13.2", "react-dom": "^15.4.2", "react-hot-loader": "^3.0.0-beta.6", "webpack": "^2.2.1", "webpack-dev-server": "^2.3.0", "webpack-module-hot-accept": "^1.0.4" }, "scripts": { "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1" }, "author": "Adam Bull", "license": "ISC" }
Once you have done this, make sure you have npm installed, and run npm install (or npm i for short) in the directory where the package.json file is.
The webpack.config.js file
Now, onto the beast. The webpack.config.js file is very complex and I personally don't think configuration of Webpack is very well documented. Anyway the general gist is that you configure an entry file which represents the entry point to your application's JavaScript / React code, and you configure an output directory which is where your bundled / minified / transpiled JavaScript will go every time you save a file and the app recompiles.
Webpack provides us with the ability to configure special "loaders" for certain file extensions. These loaders have special abilities to parse file contents, such as being able to transpile ES6 to ES5, parse React JSX syntax etc etc. You can specify which loaders you want to enact on which file types in the module.loaders section.
const webpack = require('webpack'); module.exports = { context: __dirname, entry: [ 'webpack-dev-server/client?http://0.0.0.0:8081', 'webpack/hot/only-dev-server', './app/entry.js' ], output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: 'bundle.js' }, resolve: { extensions: ['.js', '.jsx'], }, module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/, loaders: ["jsx-loader", "babel-loader"] }, { test: /\.jsx$/, exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/, loaders: ["babel-loader"] } ] }, plugins: [ new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin() ] };
Configuring your .babelrc file
Finally, for a little bit of sugar, we need to populate our .babelrc file which will tell the Babel transpiling tool what JavaScript variants we are expecting to process when compiling the Webpack bundle:
{ "presets": ["es2015", "react"], "plugins": ["react-hot-loader/babel"] }
The last piece of the puzzle: React
Finally, I guess we should make a bit of a toy React app inside of the app/ folder. This application is going to be very simple (no SCSS compilation or anything fancy like that), and will consist of two files: entry.js (the entry point to the application in the webpack.config.js file) and app.jsx (our top level React component written in ES6 nomenclature).
The entry.js file looks like so:
import App from './app'; import React from 'react'; import { render } from 'react-dom'; render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
We are simply importing the app.jsx file from within the same folder (as this is what we want rendered), importing React from our node_modules directory and importing the render method from React-DOM (this allows us to communicate with the DOM).
The React component
The component I created for the purposes of this tutorial simply retrieves the list of companies from the companies.json endpoint on my Sinatra server and renders it as a list on the page. I use the lightweight reqwest library to do this:
import React from 'react'; import reqwest from 'reqwest'; class App extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = { companies: [] }; } componentDidMount() { let context = this; reqwest('/api/companies.json', function (res) { context.setState({ companies: res.companies }) }) } render() { let companies = this.state.companies.map((item) => { return (
 {item.name}
 ); }); return (
 {companies}
 ); } } export default App;
That should be it! You have a fairly nice setup with Webpack and you can write sweet ES6 React components, and you can use Sinatra.
You should be able to access the Sinatra / Webpack application by visiting http://localhost:9292 where 9292 is the port of the Sinatra instance, and the page should look like this:
The full source code can be found at https://bitbucket.org/adaam2/sinatra-webpack. If you want to clone this repository via git, you can do so with the following command:
git clone https://[email protected]/adaam2/sinatra-webpack.git my-webpack-project
I have recently updated the Bitbucket repository with a basic implementation of SCSS compilation. You can see this commit here.

The Shining South
Austis Farharrow
The head cleric of Mystra in the frontier town of Moorhaven.
Austis Farharrow appears middle-aged. He is tall, with dark eyes and greying hair that is kept neat. Austis is welcoming to travelers, though he spends the majority of his time in the small monastery in the centre of town. As the head cleric of the Mystran church in Moorhaven, he has charged himself with protecting the town from the surrounding Akhkaur swamp, and very few in Moorhaven know more about events going on outside the town.
There are rumors throughout town that Austis had, at one point, been an adventurer before entering the church, and though very few know the events leading to his now quiet life, he maintains strange and exotic contacts, some of which pass through Moorhaven from time to time, such as the dwarf Radan 'the Bear' and the reclusive astonomer, Jiles the Beige.

As Dan Reed Network prepare to join Extreme on their UK tour, the band's frontman opens up about their next album, his first gig experience, the passing of AC/DC's Malcolm Young, recording new songs in front of fans, learning to be more collaborative, and why he loves 'More Than Words'.
Let's put you on the spot. Favourite Extreme song?
The song that made me fall in love with them was 'Get The Funk Out'. But as a songwriter, I think 'More Than Words' is always going to be the quintessential ballad. Whenever its 3 in the morning at the afterparty at one of my shows, undoubtedly another musician there will play that song, or people ask me to play that song.
And the chord changes in that are genius. As a listener who doesn't know music you could say it's quite a simple song, but it's actually not. It's quite intricate with how they did the voicings and the chord changes – it's like a classic song from the '40s that was written by gershwin or someone. It's got some really beautiful changes in it. So I respect that track a lot.
But the guitar solo in 'Get The Funk Out' is ungodly. I don't even know how Nuno Bettencourt came up with that stuff. I don't even know if he's from this planet. I worked with him on a remake of 'Long Way To Go' and 'Get To You' back in about 1992 at a studio up in Boston, and I remember he was just trying to get a guitar sound. Him just goofing off, twisting knobs on his amps and playing riffs, you would hear five or six songs that you could write if you took the time to do it. So he's very prolific and he's got a lot of great ideas – I don't even know he's aware of quite how many. When he's just riffing, making noise, it's not noise; it's always musical when he's playing.
Now that you're going out on the road with him and the rest of Extreme, are you having to approach the shows differently to your own headline tours?
We know we're playing to between 11 000 and 13 000 people over the course of six days and we know that 80% of those people never heard of us, and another 10% heard the band name but don't us that well, and 10% of the audience knows us. So we're playing the songs that etched our band into the minds of the people who believe in us. We're going to play two or three songs off each album, so we're representing our whole catalogue, and we're picking the strongest songs that work for an Extreme show. We're not getting any mellower than 'Rainbow Child', but we'll play 'Champion' and 'Divided' off the new album, and then 'Get To You', 'Cruise Together', 'Resurrect', 'Tiger In A Dress'. So people can either like us or not like us, but they can get a sample of what we've been doing since day one.
And with playing bigger stages, I've been going to the gym, getting my cardio up because I know they can tire me out. You can just stand there at the mic, the Network's music really isn't suited to planting your feet and perform that way. We're much more rambunctious than that so I'm definitely going to take advantage of those bigger stages. We have a great time with that because Melvin and Brion like working out as well.
You mentioned that this will be the first time for a lot of people seeing Dan Reed Network live. What was the first gig you saw?
It was Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash when they were still together. They played in Aberdeen, South Dakota at the community centre that held about 1500 people. I'll never forget that show, seeing the adoration people gave somebody who wrote music that touched their lives. I think I was 10 or 11, and I was just blown away by the whole experience, so I entered the talent show at school the next year singing a song from 'Grease' maybe, and I loved doing that. Then I got a guitar when I was 14, so the interest in music kept growing and it all started with that first concert.
My first rock concert was ted nugent with AC/DC opening up in Minneapolis, and that was a mind boggler on a whole other level. Just the raw power of it, the volume, the masculinity of it. AC/DC's music and Ted Nugent's music is really, really raw and when Malcolm Young passed away it affected me in the same way as when Prince passed away: you feel like there's a vacuum that just got sucked out of the world. Tom Petty as well, but there was something about AC/DC being the first rock band I ever saw, so they always had a very special place in my heart.
I wrote four rock songs immediately after his passing, one a day for four days in a row, that I think Malcolm would be happy to hear. I haven't written all the lyrics yet but I've got the melodies, I did a drum beat, I played all the guitars and bass guitar, and there's no keyboards. So I'm thinking about doing a rock record in 2019 with a drummer and a bassist, just for fun, and say it's in honour of Malcolm. Regrettably and thankfully I don't sing like either Brian Johnson or Bon Scott so it won't sound like AC/DC once I get my vocals on, but the guitar riffs and the feel of it definitely has that balls to the wall intention.
When Malcolm passed away, I went back and listened to a bunch of their stuff and I realised some of their songs, like 'Back In Black', are pretty funky too, they're just sped up.
Apart from AC/DC then, what other influences went into early Dan Reed Network music?
Led Zeppelin, Prince, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Sly And The Family Stone, and I was also just getting into Earth Wind And Fire at the time. Brion and Melvin were already super fans, so I learned a lot from them about bands like The Brothers Johnson and just funk in general. Melvin was actually a funk bass player straight out of the box. He'd never played any rock that I knew of at the time. So when we were in band rehearsals I was so impressed with his playing, I started writing songs that would be fun for him to play. So that influenced the writing a lot as well, trying to write parts that everybody would be happy with. Dan Pred, on the other hand, was into Rush, prog rock, so I was always thinking about him as a drummer – if you listen to a lot of the early Network stuff all the drum fills were quite polished and worked out because I wanted to make sure Dan had challenges on him as well.
That's a really eclectic list, so were there actually any influences you?
We recently talked about this because we're co-writing a lot more now, on 'Fight Another Day' and on the new songs we're working on. In the early days my ego probably didn't allow a lot of stuff through the gate because I was writing a lot and I put this band together to showcase stuff I was writing. And so when other people would bring stuff to the table, often times I probably wasn't listening to it with the most open mind. If I was listening to a demo it didn't sound like a Dan Reed Network song, I'd reject it, when I could have considered slowing it down, speeding it up, changing the key, or changing the rhythm. So I couldn't say that people brought stuff to the table that didn't fit the Network, I'd say people brought stuff that didn't fit my ego.
So how are the new songs coming along?
We've got one called 'Fade The Light' which Brion started off. He sent me a piece of music that was about 90 seconds long and then he came to Prague about three months ago and we hashed it out. I chopped it up into pieces and made a song out of it as far as an arrangement, and then I wrote a vocal melody over the top of it. It's the same process as we used on 'Champion', my favourite song off 'Fight Another Day'.
Now it's finished, we have about 140 people coming to the studio today in Manchester. Instead of going to a concert they've come to see the band record the song. So they'll spend the whole day with the band tracking the song, we'll get them to sing some background vocals on it, and then we're going to surprise them with an old Network song that we've already pre-recorded and have them do background vocals on that too. Then we'll have dinner together and later we'll do an unplugged concert for the audience.
So it's a new way to record. In May we're going to do one in New York and in Portland, Oregon, which is a co-write with Melvin, and then we're going to do one in Stockholm in July. Hopefully by the end of next year we'll have a whole album that's been recorded with 10 different audiences in 10 different cities around the world. It's like doing a gig but you get to spend the whole day with everybody and instead of charging people a shitload of money for a meet and greet, they get to come and hang out with the band for the whole day.
But the main thing about this new approach is me understanding that I should take advantage of everybody's talents more. They've all got a lot to bring to the table. So I'm just involving them all more. It's a great learning moment for me.

@Dennis, no it's different from Nigeria political witch hunt. She was fired by the school district, not by the us Govt. Trust me there are people with YouTube channels that curse Obama and his family day and night. But this is a pure racist comment coming from someone in charge of children, it's unacceptable and she should be fired. It's like a male pediatrician watching child porn. There are unacceptable behaviors for certain careers or positions. So here they are not protecting Mrs Obama, they are actually protecting the children and saving the future. That's America for you.ReplyDelete

7 Ways to Celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Week
February 14th is well-known as Valentine's Day, but did you know that the entire second week in February is devoted to showing love and kindness to others? This February 12th through the 18th is Random Acts of Kindness Week! It doesn't require a significant other and it's not limited to those you know. In fact, it's encouraged to do kind acts for complete strangers.
As a medical professional, you have an exposure to a multitude of patients and coworkers who would appreciate a kind word or deed. Use your shifts to share love and compassion with the world, and hopefully the good energy will be contagious. Who knows? It might even come back to you!
Here are seven ways to celebrate random acts of kindness in seven days!
- Share a Meal – During your lunch break, take your meal into a patient's room to visit or treat a coworker to lunch. Offering company to those around you helps strengthen your community and develop positive interactions at work.
- Give a Gift Card – Give a gift card to a coworker! If you know a favorite coffee shop or lunch spot of someone you work with, surprise them with a few dollars in their name. Or, if you want to surprise a coworker you hardly know, consider a Tafford gift card. Everyone can use new scrubs and medical accessories!
- Bake Cookies – A sweet treat goes a long way to making someone feel appreciated and special. Bake cookies, brownies, muffins, or some other shareable treat to offer your patients and coworkers.
- Give a Compliment – See someone wearing cute scrubs? Is a patient making fast progress? Does someone show an unexpected talent? Compliment those around you!
- Lend a Hand – If another nurse is behind on patient rounds or is having trouble learning a particular part of the job, offer help. We've all had tough days, and they are made much easier by not feeling alone.
- Make a Patient Smile – Inspiring a smile can be as simple as smiling yourself or telling a silly joke. You can also inspire smiles by what you wear, like the Tooniforms Winnie the Pooh Make Me Smile Scrub Top! What better mascot for a smile than the normally pouty Eeyore on a background full of soft colors?
- Write a Note – If someone has done something nice for you lately or a conversation in the workplace has inspired you, let that person know with a handwritten note! Leave it where they will find it when you're not around to remind them how much you care.
For more random kind acts, visit the official website of Random Acts of Kindness.
More From Tafford
Remember during Random Acts of Kindness Week that you also need to be kind to yourself! Make a new goal to eat better, exercise more, and get the right amount of sleep. Every once in awhile, treat yourself to a new scrub outfit that makes you feel stronger and more confident!
To discover new ways to treat your coworkers and yourself, look at the rest of what Tafford has to offer!

Well, this time, they made a change that you may or may not have noticed.
In the last two weeks, Facebook engagement has dropped for individuals anywhere by 6% to 45% depending on what individuals and brands post. Apparently, Facebook quietly announced on Sep 20th that it had changed its EdgeRank algorithm on Sep 18th, 2012. Even those of us who pay attention to things like this, missed it.
Why did they make this change?
Facebook advises that the changes were made to reward content-rich brands- meaning the more engaging content the content the more News Feed exposure.
According to Facebook: Some of the strongest factors that influence this are how engaging an individual post has been for other users who have seen it, and how engaged a user has historically been with other posts they've seen from that page. Feed also takes negative feedback into account, which is the number of people who have hidden a post or reported it as spam.
I personally noticed this change yesterday when I posted about my anniversary. In a matter of 12 hours, I had 168 "Likes" on my status and 55 comments. I was amazed at the "interaction" I was receiving from that post!
But what does this mean for us as business fan page admins?
This change means that Facebook wants us to "Pay to Play". In their words:
Finally, if a page has a piece of content that it feels will be very engaging e.g. A good offer, a great photo, an announcement, etc. then using paid media to "boost" that post to fans in newsfeed can be an effective tool to increase engagement with fans.
So much for "Organic" reach on Facebook!
What do we do now?
- Keep engaging! Know your fans! Continue to post things that they "like", comment on and share!
- Pay attention to your analytics and insights on your Fan Page! Under each of your posts on your Fan page, you will see "222 people saw this post". If you hover over that line, you will see how many were organic and how many were viral. You will also see how your number on this post compares to your most popular post on your Fan Page!
- You can also click on your Insights tab at the top of your fan page and take a look at all of your numbers. As long as your "Engaged Users" and "Talking About this" numbers are up, you know you doing ok.
- Don't post too much- that will decrease your reach. Carefully pay attention and select times that your audience is "listening" and choosing to engage and post during those times.
- Consider promoting a special offer or using Facebook Ads. Just be sure to select "People who like your page and their friends" and make a pointed "share" or "like" ask in your post to get the most from your investment.
Changes like these means, now- more than ever, you need to create a social media marketing strategy. No more- posting now and then and hoping for people to see it. We have to stay ahead of the curve to stay in front of our customers!
