Amanda Musso has always looked up to her big sister.
But it was Amanda's encouragement that helped get Nicole Musso back on the volleyball court.
This season the sisters play for colleges 16 miles apart with Nicole at Cal State Stanislaus and Amanda at Modesto Junior College.
Nicole Musso returned to the court following a two-year break. A communications major who will graduate in the spring, Nicole has played through the pain of a right knee injury sustained against Chico State on Oct. 10.
Nicole is third on the team in kills (164) and blocks (52) in 80 games, much to the delight of her younger sister, who wanted her to play so badly.
"Of course, I was encouraging that girl," Amanda said. "She's such a good player. It was a waste for her to be not playing."
The Turlock sisters are close -- the only children of Jerry Musso and Julie Sayad -- despite a four-year age difference that kept them from ever playing together.
Amanda gamely jumped onto Nicole's back to take a candid picture after her Modesto JC match Wednesday. The two often gestured to each other in their own familial language when the ball wasn't in play.
Both attended as many of the other's home matches as they could, sometimes with a bag of ice taped to a sore appendage.
Nicole did coach Amanda for two years in the Club United program of Hughson. It was as close as they got to being on the floor at the same time.
"I could yell at her without it affecting the sister relationship," Nicole said. "We knew where the sister/coach line was."
Amanda said she loved playing for her sister, whom she talks to every day, usually on the way to school, even if it's only for a few minutes.
"My sister is my role model," Amanda said. "She's always been the one I looked up to in volleyball. I love that she got a chance to work with me. Everyone always says, 'Oh, you're Nicole Musso's sister.' Yeah, I know. I don't even want to think about not having her here next year."
The Warriors finish their season with two home matches -- against Cal State San Bernardino today at 3 p.m. and Cal Poly Pomona on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Pirates end their Big 8 Conference schedule tonight at Sacramento City and hope to make the playoffs.
STANISLAUS HOOP POLLS -- Coaches in the California Collegiate Athletic Association don't expect much from the Stanislaus basketball teams. The men were picked eighth and the women 10th in the CCAA preseason coaches polls.
The Stanislaus men, 13-16 overall last season, tied for seventh at 9-13 in the CCAA. Humboldt, which went 26-4 last season, was picked to repeat as the conference champion.
The Stanislaus women were 6-20 overall and 3-19 (11th place) in the CCAA. Dominguez Hills is the favorite, receiving three first-place votes after making it to the playoffs in 2006-07.
MJC WRESTLING -- The Pirates are looking for that "second man" -- crowd support -- tonight when they take on Sierra in their Big 8 Conference finale at the MJC gym. The dual meet begins at 6 p.m.
Modesto is fifth in the state with five wrestlers ranked in the top eight. Sierra is second with eight wrestlers ranked in the top eight. Six matches are expected to feature ranked or previously ranked wrestlers.
WARRIOR CRAB DINNER -- A crab feed to raise money for Stanislaus athletic scholarships is tonight at 7 p.m. at the Assyrian American Civic Club of Turlock, 2618 N. Golden State Blvd. Social hour begins at 6 p.m. with a drawing and auctions. Tickets are $45 per person. For ticket information, call 667-3931 or visit www.csustan.edu.

It's only a glimmer, a flicker, a slight flash of light.
It might not last past the first serious floor debate in either chamber of Congress. However, the two leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives are saying something about unity, about common good, about patriotism and love of country.
U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi today pledged to get the House to work more closely together, to set partisanship aside whenever possible. Their pledge came in the wake of that frightening shooting in Alexandria, in which House GOP whip Steve Scalise was injured critically by a gunman who wounded four others before being shot to death by Capital police officers.
Dear reader, we have entered a dangerous time in American political history. The shooter reportedly was highly critical of Donald J. Trump; he also reportedly had some sort of hard feelings against Rep. Scalise, who appeared to be his primary target at that baseball practice field where Republican lawmakers were preparing for their annual charity game against Democratic colleagues.
As near as I can tell, this about the only good thing to come from this terrible event. I am praying, along with the rest of the nation, for the victims' full recovery. Yes, the police responded with valor and gallantry; the lawmakers who rushed to Rep. Scalise's aid also performed heroically.
I will await the outcome of Ryan and Pelosi's pledge to work together, to put the bitterness aside, to argue civilly but maintain respect for each other's side, their point of view … and appreciate the other's love of country.
What a shame, though, that it took an even such as this to possibly make them reach this point.

After the barley has been fermented, it is distilled twice - first through Glenlivet's wash still, and then again through Glenlivet's spirits still. Originally designed by George Smith, the copper-pot stills have a unique, lantern-like shape, which encourages contact between the whisky and the copper. The copper strips the whisky of any impurities it may have, and provides for a lighter and more pure flavor profile.
Following distillation, The Glenlivet 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - part of Glenlivet's Classic Range - is matured in a mixture of cask types, including American Oak and European Oak. In particular, the American Oak lends the whisky its vanilla character and distinct smoothness, while the 12 years spent inside both barrels gives the whisky aromas of honeysuckle and summertimes fruits, along with notes of fresh pineapple and bitter cocoa on the palate. The whisky has a rich, creamy finish filled with lasting touches of hazelnuts and marzipan.

Let the sorrows fly way up to the sky, down to the ground and all around the world. Instead, indulge yourself the way the Scandinavians do, with an open faced sandwich. Open faced sandwiches are very popular in Scandinavia but Denmark claims to have elevated them into a fine art.
Although there are many traditional variations associated with the Danish open sandwich, the sandwich usually consists of one piece of buttered rugbrød — the Danish hard, whole-grain rye bread, topped with any of a variety of meats, including various cold cuts, bacon, herring, fish fillets, eggs and certain kinds of paté (Danish, leverpostej), a vegetable layer is neatly pack on top (for example, thinly sliced cucumber, tomato wedges or pickled beets) and topped with a dressing or condiment, such as mayonnaise, or toasted onion bits. A woman who is trained in making traditional combinations is called a smørrebrødsjomfru (literally, "smørrebrød maid").
Smørrebrød actually means "butter and bread" Smørrebrød dates back to the 19th century when, for many agricultural workers, lunch was the main meal of the day. It began when bread was used to wipe the plates clean of any remaining food, eventually, the food was placed on the bread in stead as topping. Open-faced sandwiches are also a staple of the Norwegian diet, stemming from when Denmark ruled Norway in the 19th Century. In the United States, an open faced sandwich generally refers to a slice of bread topped with warm slices of roasted meat and gravy, or bread topped with Welsh rarebit. Although, technically a half bagel with cream cheese and lox is an open sandwich. Usually served as snacks for cocktail parties, canapes may also be considered open-faced sandwiches.
A Little history: Before the Renaissance and the invention of the fork, any object that moved between plate and mouth, lifting cooked food and its sauce without spills was a necessary utensil. From the Dark Ages to the Renaissance, bread was an integral part of a table setting. Thick slices of bread, called trenchers, were set on wooden plates (also called trenchers) to soak up the sauces accompanying pieces of meat. (source)
While there's an endless variety of good breads used to make open-faced sandwiches, the Danes usually make them with dark Rye Bread. Chefs prefer wholegrain breads for their firmness so that they can cut the slices as thin as possible. When they use white bread, they usually toast it.

PAUL Bosvelt and his fellow scorers admitted that pride and anger were the catalysts for their astonishing White Hart Lane FA Cup victory.
The Dutchman confessed that the Blues had been embarrassed by their first-half replay showing and were determined to avoid humiliation when they launched their onslaught.
"If you played football for 50 years you would probably not be involved in a game such as that," he said.
"I am sure no-one gave us much of a chance at half time, especially as we were down to ten men. I certainly have never played in such an incredible match.
"We found some kind of inner strength when Joey Barton was sent off. At half time there were very few raised voices - we just talked about pride and not letting the fans and ourselves down. We felt we made fools of ourselves in the first 45 minutes.
"The only way back was to battle and I think that the spirit and confidence we showed after the break made Spurs nervous.
"With each goal we scored you could see them looking at one another and wondering what was going on.
"We just kept going and going and the momentum swung our way. We had some luck but we scored some very good goals."
City's second was of Bosvelt's making as his shot from the edge of the box was deflected over Kasey Keller. If it stands it will be his first for the club.
It was Jon Macken who put the finishing touches to the astounding fight back with a 90th minute header.
His previous two senior goals this season had come at QPR in the Carling Cup and in the third round of the FA Cup at Leicester - also in the last minute.
"Let's hope it is a trend I can continue all the way to Cardiff," he said.
"I think most of us didn't believe we would score four times but we were determined to show a bit of pride and let all those people who don't know what we are about realise that there is nothing wrong with our spirit.
"It was like we had 12 men and they had ten. Joey being sent off meant we all had to put in that bit extra and that's what we did. It has to rank as the most amazing night of my career."
Macken is likely to get an extended run with Nicolas Anelka suffering from a groin strain and expecting a three-match ban.
Man-of-the-match Shaun Wright-Phillips was on target last night to take his tally to seven.
"I have never played in a game like that and I am sure there will not be one to come anywhere near it in the rest of my career," he said.

Greek Lentil Soup
Before meeting my husband, my knowledge of Greek food was very limited. I knew about moussaka, feta and baklava and that was about it. My mother in law is an amazing cook, as is my own mother, who is South African. So I am very blessed to have had such rich influences to carry into my own family, and obviously now have a greater knowledge of Greek food! This is a traditional soup and is wonderful on so many levels. It is really healthy, naturally gluten free and vegetarian (vegan if you serve it without feta). It is easy to prepare, delicious and finally, as another bonus, inexpensive to make. The ingredients are simple, and each one is vitally important (as I have learnt from experience). The balsamic vinegar, in particular really finishes off the soup and gives the lentils a lift. Thank you to my generous mother in law for allowing me to use her recipe here. This is one of my husband's favourite meals. It takes around an hour to cook, excluding preparation time.
Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)
2 cups brown lentils
2 large onions
3 cloves of garlic
3 bay leaves
4 tablespoons Olive oil
1-2 carrots
To serve
Balsamic vinegar
Feta (optional)
Kalamata olives (optional)
1. Rinse the lentils under cold water and place into a medium-large pot.
2. Chop up the onions and garlic and grate the carrot/s. Add them to the pot with the bay leaves.
3. Add 6 cups of hot water to the pot and allow it to come to the boil. Once it has come to the boil, turn down the heat and allow it to summer away, stirring occasionally.
4. After about 30 minutes, add the olive oil. Continue to stir occasionally until lentils cooked to your liking (another 30-45ish minutes).
5. Dish up the soup and drizzle balsamic vinegar over it. Add salt to taste. Serve with feta, Kalamata olives and bread. Enjoy x

Have you seen the latest scheme at Nicole Farhi? This is one of our favourite quality brands right now particularly as they always do some many wonderfully creative things. The structure here flows from these tiny windows threading its way through the interior of this commercial space drawing one from the outside in and beyond. We always enjoy the sculptural perspective that these guys employ which appear to be their USP. Their particular strength is the informed process that they go through to create their outcomes. Using Shlappi Mannequins too really is an art in itself which these guys just always get so right.

Street Food@City Hall - Food Forward & Toronto Street Food Project in the news
Toronto gourmet food trucks stall – The Star
Street food advocate Darcy Higgins told reporters that food trucks co-exist with restaurants in other centres.
"I just want to sell sandwiches," said Matthew Basile, whose Fidel Gastro's Cuban sandwich truck doesn't have a permanent location.
Committee votes to send Street Food Project recommendations to Director of Licensing
T.O. streets getting food aplenty – The Sun
Darcy Higgins, the executive director of Food Forward, said they were happy to see changes being made for existing food vendors.
Councillor Josh Colle - who has been pushing for the city to address red tape surrounding food trucks - said the ongoing delay will likely mean food trucks miss out on two seasons of "prime business".
Committee adopts broader menu for hot dog carts, delays better food truck rules – Openfile.ca
Darcy Higgins, representing the group PushFoodForward, had asked the committee to consider three recommendations for immediate action today (which would have been passed at the next council meeting in early July).
Higgins was disappointed in the committee's decision. "We hoped we could move further, obviously," he said, though he was happy for the expanded options for hot dog carts—and Toronto finally catching up to changes in the rules that Ontario made in 2007.
City not doing enough to quell our appetite for street food - National Post
"I will be operating out of a food truck within the next six months," he vows. But Mr. Robertson tells me there is no public or private land in central Toronto zoned to permit Mr. Basile's truck.
Darcy Higgins of the group Food Forward suggested that the city "allow refreshment vehicles and food vendors to vend temporarily in commercial parking lots for a period of up to four hours;" councillors sent that back to staff for study.

Suresh Doss: Food truck hubs in designated areas or parks can generate revenue for the city. The containers (such as the ones at Scadding Court) can be a platform for indie food entrepreneurs that don't have the money for a food truck, but want to test their food ideas.
Suresh Doss: I would like to see the City of Toronto work towards street food installations where we can consider restaurants, popups, and food trucks.
Learning about Toronto's street food & changing laws
Food Forward is incredibly lucky to be partnering with a number of individuals representing the diversity of Toronto street food, including existing street food vendors, start-up food vendors and event organizers, as well as dedicated activists, a lawyer, and a planner. Together we're working with Torontonians to make sure our politicians and bureaucrats are accountable and make positive change for diverse street food in Toronto and allow new jobs to flourish on our streets.
This Thursday, the Licensing & Standards Committee will be voting on a City report that would finally allow street food vendors to prepare a diversity of foods in the City. There are many media stories about this including this one with Darcy Higgins' and Carly Dunster's thoughts, and we'd invite you to join us at the Committee meeting to help push food further forward.
We wanted to share with you some recent work of our partners.
Take a look at this delicious blog by Kyla Zanardi to see what we did at the Street Food Block Party, see the vendors, and hear suppportive words from City Councillors that Darcy interviewed.
Darcy Higgins (Food Forward), Councillor Mary Fragedakis (Ward 29, Toronto-Danforth) and Marianne Marooney (Executive Director of the Street Food Vendors Association)
Andrea Winkler, who recently returned from viewing street food and policies in action in Los Angeles has prepared this insightful video profiling Toronto street food vendors. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did. Please share!
Hospital food 2.0
We're pleased to share this update from our Town Hall event, Healthy Food, Healthy Living: Strengthening Local Food Connections in Healthcare.
There was great coverage in The Grid with their reporter's learnings from the event. Food Forward is following-up to build on the momentum by considering creative ways to support better food in health care, with an "Idea Potluck" on June 26th, from 5:30-6:30 downtown. It will be a facilitated conversation and brainstorming session to establish where everyone is at in their work, where we want to go, and how best to help each other get there. Contact Linda (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Elena (email@example.com) for more information and to let us know you're coming!
Thanks to Sustain Ontario for partnering and recording... check their website for Powerpoint information and a video about the Seed to Feed Project with the University Health Network and Scadding Court Community Centre.
Taking the "hospital" out of hospital food
Hospital food. For some, the very term sounds like an oxymoron. But healthcare institutions in Ontario are starting to pick up some of the foodie trends that have become so pervasive in society of late.
Values like local, fresh, healthy and, of course, deliciousness are beginning to enter the hospital sphere, with Toronto's St. Michael's Hospital leading by example.
At last night's panel discussion on strengthening local food connections in healthcare, held in a committee room at City Hall, the 20-odd attendees got the chance to, as moderator and Food Forward volunteer Linda Swanston put it, "play city councilors."
Seated at spiraled tables and lavish leather chairs, participants listened to Heather Fletcher, Food Services Manager at St. Michael's Hospital, as well as Franco Naccarato, program manager at the Greenbelt Fund, and Elena Hall, Green Team Member/Seed to Feed Organizer at Princess Margaret Hospital, discuss the methods and outcomes of incorporating fresh, local food into healthcare institutions, and got the opportunity to submit questions on the topic.
Here's what I learned:

you have an amazing command over words! 🙂 When I saw it initially, it felt like a tongue twister, but yes, the meaning was conveyed!
Oh, Simran, you made me blush
Thank you! What a lovely comment ❤
I'm happy to see you on my blog!
Please, take care and have a wonderful week ahead!
Your Unbolt
I am happy too! 🙂 hey! what would you like me to call you? Unbolt? 😛 or any nick name u have that u may prefer?
I do have a lot of nicknames here!
My real name is Tatiana (Tetiana), but you can reduce my name into any form which will be nice and comfortable for you! I'm Tia, Tati, Titania, Tan'ka, Un, the Mad Hatter, the Black Crowned Yew-Crane, etc… feel free to extend this list! 😀
Tatiana! What does it mean? I would like to call you tia! Short sweet n quite cute too! 🙂
Tia… I love your choice ❤
Well… Tatiana is a Slavic female name with Latin roots. It means something like 'mistress, foundress' 🙂
What does your name mean, by the way? Simran… What a lovely name!!
I found a meaning 'remembrance, reminiscence'. Is it correct?
Foundress? Sounds as strong as your personality! 😉 Thank you! And you are right on that! Simran does mean rememberance! 😉
Aww… Again you made me blush
What a magical power of remembrance!
It turns strong Tia into soft warm wax…
Thank you, Simran ❤
Makes me think of a line from a guilty pleasure band I will listen to occasionally…."Watching me, watching them watch them watch me"
You're a little Sherlock! I really didn't expect you to find out about my secret "hardcore" side haha. I listen to them mostly out of a metaphysical curiosity. The sounds tend to release something other music hasn't, and they're weird in a way that isn't trying to be. They just are what they are, and I like that. I'm not sure how you would feel about their other stuff…
Aww… Great secret… Sherlock was one of my favorites in my childhood! ❤
I'm not afraid of hard music. Michael, you're inspiring me for listening! 😀
Reminds me of my silly post yesterday about secrets, and this music video! Your poem is like a hush-hush tongue twister!
Here's part of the script from the movie The Princess Bride that has to do with stalling, like my post yesterday! lol
Man In Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN'T YOU? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man In Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Ry, it's incredible!
Love, love this!
OK… My hush secret…
I store some of your deleted posts on my email box… Please, don't shoot! 😉
LOL I actually planned yesterday to ask Pepper today how to change the setting to where people who subscribe to my posts don't get the full post, and have to go directly to my blog to read the whole thing! So if I remember to ask her later, and you notice you're not getting the full post via email – I promise it wasn't because you said that! It's because sometimes I catch mistakes in my posts after I re-read them after posting them, and I don't like that some people may only read the versions with errors! I don't mind that you have copies of my deleted posts though, I just didn't want to leave them up, for new people to come across and I possibly make a bad first impression on them is all 🙂
😀 OK! I'll delete them 🙂
Settings / Reading / For each article in a feed, show – Full text or Summary?
Ah thank you! I would probably have forgotten! By the way, I clicked like on your comment, but it immediately disappeared. I clicked it again, and it disappeared again! So consider this *Like as me liking your comment!
Yep! It disappears when you click it on the 'Notifications' page… but it appears again if you reload the page.
P.S. I've deleted your posts from my email box.
No… it's yours… not mine 🙂
Good night, my dearest bird. It's about 3 am here.
I should fly away.

Comment on October 5th, 2013.
Pleasant, but dissipated into the background for me. Is this trio a high-water mark for each of them?
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
Oh no; for one thing, all three have extensive discographies, and for another, they all have varied styles. I didn't look for a best of them. Just things that I like.
(Thinking.) I'm not picking a high-water mark with most songs. I like these songs a lot; but I'm going to pick 400 to 450 songs a year. I think it's like my little bit of radio. (Thinking more.) I don't know. To me, as I have got older, I have less confidence about telling people things about music....
I still don't know why I'm doing this. Apart from it's fun. But I've only a vague idea what a "parlando playlist" is. Apart from it's fun.
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
I'm having fun too! I hope that when I say I don't care for a particular track, that doesn't diminish your enthusiasm for the project.
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
No no no no no!
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
Geez, I want you to say it honestly.
Back there I was just having a hard time with language (and conceptually).
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
Cool--that's what I figured.
Honestly: It's really great to be talking with you again. I've missed you.
Comment on October 5th, 2013.
Thank you. Very much.
I'm choked up. Much complicated to say... Well.
Thank you.

About Colem
Trekking along the railway track during the monsoons doesn't disappoint anyone seeking the ferocity of the monsoons and the explosion of greenery which accompanies it. Add to this the thrill of playing hide and seek with trains darting in and out of the tunnels and one is assured of a memorable adventure. The fog roams freely on the mountain tops and envelops the dense jungles that give birth to thundering streams tempting the onlooker for a quick dip. The main attraction of the trek is the Dudhsagar Waterfall accessible by a 14 km walk from Castle Rock or alternatively an 11km trek from Kulem.

Nickoli Roussakov was brought up in Halifax, so when he had established his own web content company, it was imperative he return to where it all started.
Roussakov owns Content Bloom, a niche web content management agency that enables large businesses to have multi-national, multi-language and multi-brand websites under one umbrella.
"Every department wants content on the web and they want to do it in 60 languages under the same brand or in the same manner," said Roussakov. "We specialize in SDL Tridion, a web content management system that has made us one of the top firms on the globe with this."
His parents brought him to Halifax when he was in Grade 5, and Roussakov graduated university before settling down with his wife in Toronto. But it didn't feel like home. "My wife and I looked at each other one day, and we wanted to be home near our families. We moved back to Halifax that same weekend in 2011."
He said Metro provides a great place for an IT startup to grow and actualize dreams. "There's a lot of great talent here in Halifax. Several universities offer computer science programs, so we can get great graduates," he said. "We work as a team and get people in who understand what that's like and want to be a part of it."
He says the time-zone in Halifax is perfect because it's right between Pacific and GMT. "It lets us serve a really wide variety of clients, from Europe to L.A. We don't have to work super-weird hours," he said. "We have an international airport and high-speed Internet. That's all we really need."
However, the building they chose, right off the Bedford Highway, took some work. The 1,800-square-foot space was previously an engineering firm and was too compartmentalized for Roussakov's taste. "They had a lot of small, private offices. We prefer open concept. We tore down the walls and just kept conference rooms and call rooms," he said. "The rest of the office is open. There are no cubicles or walls. There are always some great conversations going on and, when everyone is in the zone, you can hear things humming along like electric lines in the winter."
Content Bloom occupies one floor in a larger building. They began with half the floor, but within 16 months they also needed the other half. "There are between 15 and 20 of us, and we're against cubicle farms. It doesn't work for our culture. We have modest, small desks, with just enough space for a few monitors, laptops and plugs," he said.
There are little islands of six desks each, so people working for one client or project can shift around and work together. At Content Bloom, people don't feel chained to a desk. "We have laptops and are free to move around. There's a stand-up bar by the window, and that's prime real estate," he said. "There are other, bigger desks by the window and a cozy space with a beanbag chair."
Though they deal in online platforms, cyber security wasn't too big a threat for them. "The space wasn't all rigged with key cards and security, and we never invested there. The assets in the office aren't significant," he said. "The data is secure in the cloud, and laptops go home with us at the end of the day."
Content Bloom takes on big jobs, but it also knows how to have fun. The office comes equipped with a lounge room, furnished with a couch, chair, bookshelf, guitar, ukulele, 50-inch TV and an Xbox. "We also knocked down a wall but had to keep a supporting pillar with a doorway. We put a chin-up bar there. You need to keep your guns in shape," he said with a laugh. They have a basketball net outside, and in the summer the team races remote control cars. "We like to have fun. You have to have fun
if you're going to work hard," he said.
Ogrimmar Inc.
Hai Hu, CEO and co-founder of Ogrimmar Inc., runs the tech start-up that helps mid-sized, high-growth companies "convert their data into insights and action by rapidly building custom workflow apps and dashboards that connect data, systems and people."
Hu co-founded with Dr. Changhai Jiang, and both are permanent residents and immigrants from China on the Start-Up Visa Program. They have eight employees in Halifax and Beijing. "We have the Beijing office handling all business in China and Asia. We also briefly stayed in the Silicon Valley in 2015 during our program with Alchemist Accelerator," said Hu. "The Halifax office was founded in April 2016, originally at IET Centre on Summer Street provided by Innovacorp. Now we are a Volta Labs resident company and based on the 7th floor at 1505 Barrington Street, in the Bell Aliant building."
He calls Halifax a place with great benefits for a tech start-up. "We have a big pool of young grads in engineering and technology with a notably lower salary base as well as renting costs, which helps the company to run lean and grow fast," he wrote. "The local and federal government, as well as local agencies like Volta Labs, Innovacorp and NSBI (Nova Scotia Business Inc.) are offering many supporting programs to startups to help them bootstrap through the early stages, which we found greatly helpful and founder friendly." He also said Halifax is a gateway to the North American market. "Ontario and the East Coast U.S. are close enough to build business ties and share many similar business cultures."
Ogrimmar's focus is on a cozy, open office space so it can concentrate on product development. "Volta Labs did a great job renovating the old Bell boardroom office into a great space for tech startups," Hu said. "They are perfectly-sized offices, with cozy and spacious common areas and have a nice and clean kitchen, as well as all the IT infrastructure which is crucial to us. We will need a spacious common area to share ideas and knowledge with other resident companies. Also, we would like to have easy access for our visitors for business. We do not have cubicles, which is great for startups, because team members constantly need to communicate and cooperate with each other all the time."
Jeremy Koenig, CEO of Athletigen, says the company works in 'proprietary human performance insights and genetic analytics.'
"In 2016, Athletigen launched Iris, the first of its kind, a personalized performance genomics app suite that merges an athlete's genetic predispositions with daily monitoring data, empowering coaches and athletes with actionable insights," he said. "The evolution of our product is driven by intense user research conducted with world-class, Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Through genomic innovation with strategic partners, Athletigen works to deliver the most advanced research findings in human performance to its customers."
The company started in 2014 and is headquartered in Halifax. It has satellite offices in Toronto and Vancouver, as well as remote employees throughout North America.
"I was working in Halifax at the time and met a number of important people here who helped push me to get Athletigen off the ground," he said. "Given the connections I made and the access to talent, it made sense to keep the company in Halifax."
Like the other two companies featured, he said the young talent was a great reason to stay. "The support for startups in Halifax from private and government organizations is really empowering and has allowed us to surpass more than 30 full-time employees just recently. There are also a number of very experienced advisors and mentors I have been able to connect my team to," he said.
They are currently located on the 12th floor of the Maritime Centre, in an open office space. "Given the different teams we have, including engineering, science, sales, marketing and administration, we have a great space to work from," he said. "The office was a blank slate that required no construction to accommodate us in our current state. We did paint over the stale colours and put up whiteboard walls across most of the office. We needed a functional space that could make any area of the office a meeting space to brainstorm or work through problems."
They are exploring potential areas for a new space, but are currently enjoying downtown. "We are a startup with limited resources, so finding the right office space for what we need is important to be reasonably priced," he said. "With the majority of our clients operating all over the world, there is not a direct need to be located in downtown Halifax, but we have not decided on a new office location as of yet."
The office is laid out in a 'C' shape, with the entrance in the middle. "There is plenty of natural light through the many windows. We have views across the harbour to Dartmouth, both directions of Barrington Street and even looking up Spring Garden Road," he said. "Given the nature of our work, it needs to be a collaborative space but also have areas for heads down, focused working. That balance has been the biggest challenge for this space as it is relatively open and can be distracting at times. Overall, the team has figured out ways to ensure productivity and creativity aren't disrupting the times of focused work." There are no cubicles, and they use long tables, with many people sitting close together. Their services are hosted in the cloud. "We have no physical stack on the premises, so our main cyber security priority was locking down our internal network."
He said a cornerstone of being a startup is having office perks. "Of course we have a ping-pong table. It's actually used quite often as a great way to wind down after intense meetings or coding sessions," he said. "We also have our wall of honour, which is just different pictures of all our accomplishments and events over the first few years of the company."
Overall, they are happy to be in Halifax. "Our current office setup works well for us and it's been the home for a lot of important milestones for the company. The large, open space makes it easy for the team to come together and celebrate, keeping the team as tight knit as ever," he said. "The base serves its purpose and provides the team the opportunities to work and solve some very complex problems. Overall, this space is built by the people who occupy it, so the team we have put together is what makes this space so great."

Then we have benefits for the dieting athlete, but in most cases, when it comes time to cut this will not be a steroid we can expect to provide very much in most cases. There are many steroids from which we have to choose, and the majority will find other options to meet their cutting needs with greater efficiency; however, as always there are exceptions. dianabol as such a tremendous strength increaser can be used as an excellent strength preserver and even a tissue preserver to a degree. Some athletes may find a use for this steroid during the cutting phase, especially those of a competitive bodybuilding nature early on in a diet.
Alright so i will take 1 pill of d-bal and 1 pill of testo max both daily even on non-workout think it is better to cycle only 4 weeks since it will be the first cycle and my body needs to adapt to those pills. i will stay 4 weeks "on" and then weeks "off" so that way i can keep the side effects to a minimum(d-bal). if i got good results going up on weight scale, putting on some serious muscle mass along with a healthy diet and intense workouts i will be ready to go for the cutting stack so lets see if those suplements are the real deal if they are i will be a costumer for life!i will let you know when im ready to order,thanks again!

Or rather, flaky sellers.
I have had outstanding luck the majority of the time with both selling and buying. It is usually a fantastic resource for people unloading their trash into your treasure or vice versa.
Over the weekend Steven and I decided to clean up our basement some and posted a ton on the site, each one of us listing our stuff respectively. We both also were searching for items. I specifically found a dress form that normally retails for over $100 selling locally for $20!!! I was pumped! I immediately contacted the seller asking her the size and such and she responded within 12 hours. Great, I thought and I responded promptly with "When can we meet?"
Meanwhile, Steven got almost immediate hits on ALL of his stuff, plus offers of trading.
My stuff for sale...nothing.
I realized today I had not heard back from the dress form lady, so I followed up on when I could met her. Five minutes later, an email with three words....
"It has sold".
What? Seriously? I was led on!
So, while I sit here trying to find another reasonably priced dress form, Steven basks in his Craig's List fortune of wheeling and dealing and looks over at me fuming and simply says with a smirk on his face, "She had bad form, huh?"
Ha. Ha.

How does a fracture differ from a break?
While both stress fractures and "full" or "regular" breaks describe fractures in bone, they vary in terms of type and severity of the break, as well as the usual causes.
"Regular" fractures are what you normally think of when you imagine someone "breaking a bone." They usually occur as a result of a single traumatic injury, causing instant, severe pain. There are many different types of breaks; depending on severity, the bone may be cracked, cleanly split, or even shattered, and the bones may remain in place (stable fracture), be displaced, or even pierce the skin (open compound fracture).
Stress fractures are different. While they do represent cracks in bone, they're typically very small, hairline fractures in weight-bearing areas. Rather than being caused by a single injury, they usually develop over time due to overuse and stress, and lead to an aching pain the worsens with activity and may improve with rest.
Dr. Keith McSpadden and the staff at North Austin Foot & Ankle Institute have experiencing helping patients with both types of injuries, and will be happy to help you, too. Call us at 512-593-2949 for sports injury care for your feet and ankles, or request an appointment online.
What are the symptoms of a midfoot fracture?
You may have heard the term "Lisfranc fracture" while watching sports, as athletes are sometimes sidelined by this injury that occurs in the bones in the middle of your foot. Such an injury can involve just one bone or many, with symptoms of swelling and pain on top of the foot (and sometimes discoloration and distortion) and bruising on the bottom. Depending on the severity of the midfoot fracture, standing and walking may be difficult, and in fact, you may not be able to bear weight on the injured foot at all. In this case, crutches will be required during recovery.
If you notice these painful symptoms, don't hesitate to contact North Austin Foot & Ankle Institute in Round Rock or Cedar Park, TX to get the help you need. You can reach us by using our online contact form or by calling (512) 593-2949 to schedule an appointment so we can get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

'Padmavati': Shahid Kapoor looks regal as Maharawal Ratan Singh
After unveiling the royal look of Deepika Padukone in 'Padmavati', the first look of Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh was unveiled and it looks quite impressive. Shahid Kapoor nailed as the Rajput prince.
The makers of 'Padmavati' took to Twitter on Monday morning to unveil Shahid's look. A post on the film's official Twitter handle read, "??????? ??? ????. ????, ???????? ?? ?????? ?? ??????. #Padmavati #MaharawalRatanSingh @shahidkapoor @deepikapadukone @RanveerOfficial."
Talking about his look in an earlier interview, Shahid Kapoor had said, "When you are playing a King, you need to have a certain personality. At that time, the people used to not be very skinny and lean, so you need to have a manly personality. Basically for that, and to carry those outfits also, Sanjay sir wants me to be a little muscular and a little full. But I will be gaining weight in terms of muscle and not in terms of fat. This is because I am playing the character of a warrior. The Rajput kings had very strong personalities."
The magnum opus directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali features Deepika Padukone in the role of 'Rani Padmavati' and her rumoured beau Ranveer Singh essays the role of Alauddin Khilji. The film is slated to hit the theaters on December 1.

Nearly two-thirds of finance executives predict the U.S. economy will fare better this year than last year, according to a new survey.
The survey, by Adaptive Planning and the Business Performance Innovation Network, found that 64 percent of the finance executives they surveyed expect the overall economy in 2011 to improve over last year—an optimistic outlook reflected by reports of improving economic conditions, reduced fears of a "double-dip" recovery and lower levels of economic uncertainty.
The Q4 2010 Business Volatility and Variables Survey revealed that fears of a double-dip recovery are falling. Thirty-six percent predict a "W-shaped" recovery, down from last quarter's 41 percent. In parallel, predictions for a "U-shaped" recovery have risen to 34 percent from 29 percent last quarter. The majority view current economic conditions to be the same (43 percent) or better (42 percent) than they were six months ago.
At the same time, 52 percent of financial executives believe economic conditions will improve over the next six months— the first optimistic majority recorded. Expectations have risen significantly from last quarter, when only 36 percent acknowledged optimism. At the same time, only 10 percent anticipate a worse economy in six months— a big drop from 20 percent last quarter.
However, unemployment remains the single greatest concern for the overall U.S. economy, with 64 percent citing it among the top challenges. The timing for a meaningful improvement in jobs growth continues to be pushed back. Most finance executives (59 percent) expect meaningful jobs growth will not occur until 2012 or beyond. This has risen since last quarter, when only 38 percent expected jobs growth to occur in 2012 or later.
Respondents from small companies are more cautious in their optimism than those from larger companies. While pessimism is low across companies of all sizes, only 43 percent from small companies expect conditions to improve over the next six months, compared to 55 percent from midsized or large companies.
Company-specific outlook for jobs growth, revenues and profit margins over the next six months mirrors the optimism seen in the predictions for the broader economy. Nearly double the number of respondents expects job growth at their own companies (31 percent) versus job losses (17 percent). Expectations for increased revenue have grown to 62 percent from only 49 percent last quarter, while expectations for increased profit margins has risen to 39 percent from 29 percent last quarter.
Of all respondents, finance executives from manufacturing industries were most bullish about the future for both the overall economy and their respective companies. A full 68 percent from this sector expect economic conditions to be better in six months, compared to 50 percent of non-manufacturing finance executives. Also in six months, 79 percent anticipate that their company will have higher revenues and 50 percent expect higher profit margins, compared to 60 percent and 38 percent from other respondents.
Overall, the economic outlook continues to be highly uncertain, with 42 percent of finance executives reporting high or very high levels of uncertainty. This uncertainty has dropped from 53 percent last quarter, yet continues to drive more frequent re-forecasting and scenario planning. Fifty-three percent expect to increase the frequency of their re-planning and what-if analysis next quarter.
The top concerns of finance executives for their own companies remain consistent with prior surveys. Demand for products and services, credit and financial market stability, and unemployment remain the top concerns for the next six months.
The online poll surveyed financial professionals from companies in over 20 industries and ranging in size from under $10 million to over $1 billion in revenues. This is the eighth quarterly poll examining perspectives on key economic conditions, individual company performance, and the role of planning and forecasting in the current economic downturn.

text: I ended up ripping the folded piece of paper because of the weight and tension that the paper goes through when it is folded back and forth, back and forth. So now there are two scores… well one in two parts. I've been given the far right wall to hang my piece from. At first I had the idea of suspending them in front of a large light box, because I like the scores in the paper more than I like the folds and I wanted to have them projected. I liked the idea of folding the whole thing and then unfolding it and just having the light catch the lines. When I tried a test piece on an A4 sized light box I had it just didn't work so I'm going to have directional lighting instead.

The website www.understandmedia.com is written by AME member Nick Pernisco.
We're pleased to announce that Media Literacy is law in Washington State! Yesterday at 3:30pm, Governor Jay Inslee signed Substitute Senate Bill No. 6273 into law!
The bill requires that all stakeholders "engage in an ongoing discussion on safe technology use, internet use, digital citizenship, and media literacy as part of implementing the state's basic education goal" and requires that the government "must convene and consult with an advisory committee when developing best practices and recommendations for instruction in digital citizenship, internet safety, and media literacy."
The bill was first proposed late last year by Action for Media Education to State Senator Marko Liias, who sponsored the bill. The bill was then written by AME board members in consultation with Liias' staff.
Those involved in helping form the bill were AME directors Marilyn Cohen and Barbara Johnson, AME president Claire Beach, media literacy educators Nick Pernisco, Michael Danielson, Ethan Delavan,and Lilia Cabello Drain, and media literacy activists Linda Kennedy Franklin, Lynn Ziegler, Cheryl Hidalgo, John Engerman, and Dalia Mendoza.
Thank you to all who have contributed so much time and energy to this effort!

Men Beauty Tips and FAQs
Without being an Apollo, what more natural than to treat, maintain its skin and look.
The daily shaving of the face is an aggression to the skin; by shaving the hair, it also removes the superficial cells of the skin, causing irritation and dehydration thereof.

Can I use products for women?
Although women's products will do good for your skin, but the man's skin is thicker, more acidic and more prone to imperfections due to sebaceous secretions twice as large. Moreover, it suffers the daily shaving aggression.
How to soothe razor burn?
Upon finished shaving, apply a moisturizing balm on the face. Rapidly absorbed, it protects the epidermis assault from pollution and moderates hair growth. You can also apply it at night, when the skin is dehydrated. And to prevent the appearance of irritation caused by shaving, Shaving Oil applied before shaving softens the hair of the toughest beards and facilitates sliding the blade.
I have tight skin, what should I do?
You have the tight skin: it loses its flexibility, its brightness; your skin is rough or harsh, you experience feelings of tightness, burning, discomfort … Dehydration affects all skin types, even the fattest. Water is the most important and most fragile component of the skin. So when she is dehydrated, the skin becomes more fragile, she pulls, and above all it no longer fulfills its protective role. Whose fault is it ? Cold, ultraviolet rays, pollution, but also to skin aging …
Do not panic! Know first that daily application of a moisturizer for men suitable for your skin type is essential to prevent dehydration because it protects and soothe irritation or redness associated with skin dryness. Instant Comfort
For sensitive skin, prefer shaving foams and body and facial cleansers suited to your skin type.Finally, if the cause of drying is the natural aging of the skin, opt for wrinkle products more nutritious and therefore better suited.
I hard beard!
Tired shaved your beard morning begins to grow back from lunch? You say that you decidedly, it is not easy to stay sharp all day when it was hard beard? Not that we know to do it …
To stay perfectly shaved longer, first prepare your skin for a closer shave with a shave care. The goal: soften the hair. In addition, think of the scrub once or twice a week to remove dead cells, straighten the hair and prevent ingrown hairs.
Otherwise, avoid shaving out of bed: the hair is hard to wake so leave them time soften and soften. For ultra-close shave, use a shaving gel or shaving foam, to facilitate the recovery of the hair and improve the glide of the blade.
Remember to use a soothing aftershave for hard beards, to soften and refine the long hair, to clear skin longer.
My wrinkles speak too
More than one in two women believe that male wrinkles are attractive forces you not to love yours, nor do anything to erase. And if it is still impossible to stop aging, but we can reduce the signs with the help of a healthy lifestyle and appropriate care.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not to age that are due the majority of skin damage, but environmental factors: sun, stress, smoking, pollution attack our skin and cause oxidation.
Result: the skin is less bright, the skin depigments and gradually loses its elasticity and firmness. The good news ? Is that you have allies in the fight against wrinkles.
First of all, a moisturizer will help your facial skin regain and maintain its firmness and promote the reduction of fine lines. More specifically speaking, anti-aging will tighten your skin, and will boost its production of collagen. Finally for, use suitable sun protection.

I went to visit Mum in hospital the other night. I was hoping she'd be off her face on drugs, because I've never seen her high before and thought it would be entertaining, but it turns out that prescription narcotics only make her more talkative.
Among the list of demands she made ("more water", "fluff my pillow", "throw that in the bin", "when are you going to give me grandchildren", etc etc) was "I want you to write a blog about women who wear too much perfume and they stink".
Turns out Mummy doesn't like it when women engage in so-called 'fragrance layering' (i.e., using the matching shower gel, body cream and eau de parfum) and it totally rips her nightie. I'm not sure how I can give this a business angle, so I'll make it brief: Stop wearing so much perfume, laydeez. You stinks.
Sharing her room was an opinionated lady who'd been sounding off about Woman's Day and how rubbish she thinks it is. The NZ Herald also came in for a robust amount of her criticism, for being "all commentary and sharks" and no news.
I wanted to protest on behalf of the Day and the Herald; to tell her that it's much harder to get the tone just right on a weekly women's magazine than it is to write a dry business news story. To inform her of the state of media ownership in New Zealand, and to beat her over the head with her blood pressure cuff for the hypocrisy inherent in voting National and then daring to complain about the demise of TVNZ7.
Instead I nodded sagely, agreeing that yes, Woman's Day is only fit for lower-class halfwits from Duntroon and oh yes, the Herald editor Shayne Currie is indeed the anti-Christ walking among us, even though I wouldn't know him from a bar of soap. (Except the bar of soap would probably foam as it walks among us; I don't imagine Shayne Currie foams as he walks, though if he is the journalistic anti-Christ, he probably sports a fetching pair of devil horns.) I kept my mouth shut because I'm rather tired of having to defend the media and my choice of occupation, particularly to people who just want to complain, rather than understand the issues at hand.
Instead, I've compiled here a handy reference list of other, non-journalistic things one can complain about instead of the state of media in New Zealand. If, like me, you've got complaint fatigue, you can simply keep this on hand for those pesky, awkward moments when you need to change the subject.
1. That parking ticket you got, when you were only two minutes later than the allocated time. I mean, have you ever? I have never.
2. That person at work who insists on microwaving their fish pie at lunch to the point where it explodes repeatedly in the microwave, and then doesn't clean the appliance, instead retiring to eat al desko and stink out the office.
3. Your mother-in-law's outrageous expectations for Mother's Day, including that you spend all day fussing around her with multiple presents, even though it's perfect weather for a day out fishing (reminder: it's this Sunday. Enjoy!).
4. The Roadwatch report you just got in the mail. You're such a great driver, they must have mistaken you for someone else! How dare they. How dare they! Optional extra: write to the NZ Police and give them a piece of your mind. You know you're a perfect driver!
5. The price of milk/bread/eggs/hot stone massages these days. Or the price of anything, really, except newspapers, because you don't pay for those any more, do you? You get it all free online SO STOP COMPLAINING.
6. How long you're going to have to wait before you get UFB. Optional extra: complain about this on Twitter using the hashtag #firstworldproblems.
Do you spend much time defending your choice of occupation? I'd like to know. I thought lawyers would get a hard time of it (you know what Shakespeare said about lawyers? "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers". It's in one of the Henries, though I forget which), but I hardly ever hear people complaining about them. Parking wardens? Used car salesmen? Dwarf tossers?
And feel free to add your own handy substitute complaint below. The more, the merrier.
