The Mesa based, Punk Rock band, Authority Zero will release their third live acoustic album, Rhythm and Booze III on April 27, 2018. Rhythm and Booze III was recorded on December 23, 2017 in Downtown Phoenix and includes some of the band's favorite songs from their latest records. This is Authority Zero's first self release.
Jason Devore, lead singer of Authority Zero States, "The Rhythm and Booze series has always been plain and simply fun for us to do. It has always given us an outlet to write and expand upon music that we've written and recorded as well as allowed us to further recreate our songs with a completely different perspective and approach. The best thing about it, it's always live, raw, and captured in the moment. Our current and third release R&B III is a step up from the previous two albums with added percussion, instrumentation, and a full on personality of its own. We brought in new and very talented musicians that helped create something very eclectic and different."
Authority Zero has released six studio albums, two EP's and three live albums. Rhythm and Booze III follows the band's 2012 live release, Less Rhythm, More Booze.
Authority Zero shows no signs of slowing down, after the release of the Rhythm and Booze III, the band is preparing for a summer tour in Europe. Authority is scheduled to perform at this year's Resurrection Fest in Spain and Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia.

Virtual reality tends to generalize for the study of human behavior in mobility. It is thus crucial to ensure that perception of space and motion is little or not affected by the virtual experience. Regarding visual perception of distances it is common to differentiate between two types of errors: errors in the estimation of egocentric distance and errors in the estimation of traveled distance. Nevertheless, the majority of studies carried out in this field do not distinguish these two errors. Thus, starting from the hypothesis that these two types of errors coexist in virtual reality, we propose in this study a first approach to remove the current ambiguity between egocentric distance and traveled distance through a continuous pointing task. The distance to be estimated and the speed of movement were varied. By comparing the data collected on eighteen participants to a computational model with two parameters: an initial error parameter (egocentric distance) and a parameter accumulating the error during the movement (distance traveled), we evaluated the weight of each of these two errors in the observed behavior. The results show that it is possible to set up an experimental protocol allowing discrimination between the two types of error. These results also reveal that errors resulting from the perception of egocentric distance are much greater than that resulting from the perception of distance traveled. Finally, this study highlights the importance of considering the issue of spatial visual perception in a less fragmented way and gives a first clue to the fact that the error generally observed in the estimation of the traveled distance would be mainly due to an error in estimating the egocentric distance.

Brightest star: | GSC 5126 4091, 11.6 mag |
This asterism appears in an 8" as a suspicious glow at 90x magnification. Magnification of 130x or higher reveals the shape of this object, which can appear as a faint open cluster or even as a galaxy in nights with unsteady air. The three brightest stars form a rectangle with a fourth star. The three bright stars are visible with an 8" telescope. The fourth start marks the endpoint of a chain of faint stars which extends about 1,5 arc minutes. With 8" aperture these stars might appear as a linear haze. With the help of steady air and good transparency of the atmosphere one might identify stars of the chain with 8" and averted vision.
The asterism is located about 30 arc minutes NNE of the center of Messier 11. Two stars of 10.5 mag point the way from Messier 11. They are half way from the center of M11 to Leiter 15. Below you find one finder-chart for the object (click to enlarge).

Title: The effect of pre-enrichment media on the recovery and detection of Salmonella in feedAuthor

Cosby, Douglas | |
Cox Jr, Nelson | |
Berrang, Mark |
Submitted to: Journal of Food Processing and Technology
Publication Type: Proceedings Publication Acceptance Date: 2/22/2018 Publication Date: 3/8/2018 Citation: Richardson, K., Cosby, D.E., Cox Jr, N.A., Berrang, M.E. 2018. The effect of pre-enrichment media on the recovery and detection of Salmonella in feed. Journal of Food Processing and Technology. 9:60. Interpretive Summary: none Technical Abstract: Current methodology for detecting Salmonella in feeds and feed ingredients are adapted from food safety methods. These methods do not take into account the stressed state of Salmonella in feed, presence of competing microorganisms nor the sample matrix. The objective was to evaluate four pre-enrichment media for the ability to maintain buffering capacity and the impact of acidic conditions on recovery. A wide variety of feed and ingredients were incubated in pre-enrichment media and pH determined at 24 hrs. It was observed that acidic conditions (pH 4.0-5.0) developed during pre-enrichment. Acidic conditions have been shown to impact the isolation and detection of salmonellae, however, the responses of the more than 2,600 serotypes of Salmonella have not been evaluated. In a second study, cultures of four feed isolates (S. Montevideo, S. Senftenberg, S. Tennessee and S. Schwarzengrund) and four processing plant isolates (S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, S. Infantis, and S. Heidelberg) were grown on meat and bone meal before desiccation and heat exposure to induce stress similar to the feed production cycle. The survival of stressed isolates in acidic conditions (pH 4.0 to 7.0) was compared to non-stressed isolates. Cell injury was determined on xylose lysine tergitol 4 (XLT4) and death determined on nutrient agar (NA). Curve fitting techniques were utilized to determine the pH which resulted in 50% cell death or cell injury. Measured by cell death, S. Typhimurium was the most acid tolerant and S. Heidelberg was the most acid sensitive in non-stressed Salmonella whereas S. Senftenberg was the most acid tolerant and S. Tennessee was the most acid sensitive in stressed Salmonella,. The pH required to cause cell injury varied among isolates. The findings suggest that the pH of pre-enrichment media influences the recovery and biases the serotype recovered during pre-enrichment. |

He needs a checkup, and we are also going to see if she will write him a letter that states because of his medical history, he should qualify for the adoption subsidy. We found out stuff in court that means SB will need to have an eye kept on him to make sure he doesn't have long term problems, like learning disabilities and such.
In our state, kids adopted out of foster care qualify for a free college education and they keep their Medicaid. Some even qualify for a monthly subsidy check. Unless you are white, and under the age of two. Since everyone wants a white baby (furious eyeroll). There should be a waiver for this for families who don't specify a race, or sex, or age, like us, but whatever. I don't make the laws. Just because we happened to get a white baby who we are planning to adopt should not penalize the child. Especially since going in, we neever planned to end up adopting. Blah. You do get this if you adopt a sibling group, a minority infant, or white child over two.
So, SB won't qualify for these things unless there is a medical need. You would think the fact that his body was assaulted with chemicals the whole time he was in utero, was born just over five pounds, was premature, and spent the first two months of his life in the NICU would qualify him, but we will see. Also, if BioMom proceeds with her appeal, it will increase his age at the time we start the adoption process, at which point, he will get some bennies. Hopefully, he will qualify either way. I'm just leaving it all up to the big wheel in the sky, and seeing which way it falls.
Obviously, we love SB like our own, and aren't trying to make money off this deal. But, if he were to get even the free college, it would just be awesome for him, because it would allow us to funnel that money to other enriching places in his life.
Send some good thoughts that what's supposed to happen, does. And that I have the right words for the doctor to ask for what SB needs.

How to Combine Free PLR With Paid & Design Your Product Funnel
Do you know how to combine your done-for-you bundles to make the most of them? Sometimes you'll purchase several and then you're not sure how to bring them all together effectively.
I'm going to give you a few ideas in this article.
Use This Funnel Design Planner Resource
The first product that I want to recommend is from Cindy Bidar and is for personal use only. It is a Free Funnel Design Planner. So grab this planner so that you can easily figure out what PLR content you'll want for each part of your funnel.
If you don't have any done-for-you content there are a few free PLR bundles below that I've used as an example.
Engage on Social Media With These Free Tip Images
Take these social media tip images from Tools For Motivation and start engaging your audience.
When you're posting these tip images on your social media platforms you'll want to ask questions relevant to the tip or share one of your stories.
You can also use this opportunity to link back to your site in general, an opt-in page or a specific post.
Do that with my next recommendation….
Create an eCourse From Free Done-For-You Content
Then download these 7 articles from Piggy Makes Bank to help your community beat procrastination. This happens to all of us. You can either put the articles on your site or set them up as a 7-day challenge in your email software system.
Lately my favorite content to make are email eCourses
Here's the steps you'd take:
- Figure out what your objectives and goals will be for this eCourse
- Outline the blog posts into the challenge days that flow from one to another
- Create a sequence in your email software
- Copy and paste the content into the right order
- Go through each email and add an intro, as well as a conclusion but not just any email you want to talk about what they've learned or what they'll learn. The format for an email is different than a blog post so make sure that they sound like an email
- Add any resources, tips, stories or recommendations throughout the challenge day
- Link to your content. If there is an example on your site or an opt-in of yours you'd like to focus on make sure to include it throughout the eCourse
- Create an opt-in or landing page for the eCourse
- Use it in your content marketing strategies and start bringing traffic to it
You don't have to use all the content if the blog posts you're using are too long. Use what makes sense to create an informative eCourse for your audience.
Personal Development Example of How To Design The Funnel
If you're in a niche that helps with personal development grab Jennifer's Personal Growth Journaling Prompts.
There are two different ways I'd use the prompts and journal that you'll get in this bundle as part of the upsell. But first, you'll want to make the journal into a PDF, then…
You'll want to pick a topic that works with both the social media tip images and the beat procrastination eCourse (or content) that you've been using.
- Offer it as a bonus to the eCourse that you're offering. This would bring tons of value and more people would sign up.
- Use it as a tripwire or the product you're going to sell when people sign up for your eCourse. This is usually a product that isn't expensive – like $7, $9, $12.95, $17, etc.
Then take a look at the special offer because it has tons of content that you can use to create products and a funnel all about personal growth. You'll find content on journaling, becoming a morning person, positive thinking, creating a vision board, mindful productivity, forming new habits, and the law of attraction.
Pick one or two of these and design your first or next funnel.
Which ones would be good to use?
For this particular example – I'd take a look at these:
- Morning Person – Report, Articles, Product Reviews, Quote Posters
- Creating a Vision Board – Report, Printables, Images
- Positive Thinking Challenge – Email Series, Articles, Affirmations
- Mindfulness for Productivity – – Articles, Images, Social media
Once you've downloaded the content you're going to want to take a look at what is inside and how it can fit together to make a product.
Decide what type of product you're going to make. It could be an eBook, a challenge, or a video series (to name a few) and what the main topic will be about.
Recently I heard that creating mindmaps helps use done-for-you content. Take a look at this blog post on Pro Blogger. He talks about creating a blog post from scratch but I think it gives a great overview of how to use mindmaps.
Basically in the center, you're going to type in your main topic. Then you'll create a new parent node for each of the topics you're going to work with, then a child node for each of the articles in the bundle, then another child node for the subtopics in each article. This will give you a birds-eye view of what topics and subtopics are in each of the bundles and then you can start to see how they all fit together and what content you want to use where.
You can also use AnswerThePublic.com to see what people to figure out what questions your audience wants to be answered.
This method will take time but when you're creating new courses it does take time but the great thing is that it'll take less than then if you had to create everything from scratch.
Business Example of How To Design The Funnel
If you teach others about internet marketing or business I'd grab Alice Seba's special offer which is all about Must Have Marketing Strategies that is happening right now as well as the free offers that I've shared above.
I'd still use the social media tip images and the beat procrastination eCourse that I've been talking about but make sure to slant them towards business, building a business, working online or blogging.
That is the great thing about done-for-you content it can be used in multiple niche types.
I'd take the Product Launch Super Pack that she has in the Mega Pack and create a course. In the example above this would be offer after as the tripwire or during the emails that you're sending. It really depends on what you want to do.
You could use this to create an eBook, eCourse, challenge, videos or a workshop.
The strategy to use this done-for-you content is different than how I suggested for the personal development because combining the content into something that works has already been done for you – it was created specifically for the topic to Launch a Product.
You just need to come up with an objective for your course and figure out what format you want to use. Then start branding and adding your voice to the content.
I'd suggest creating an eBook or eCourse as the main offer and then as the first upgrade opportunity, you could create videos or a workshop from the content and then as the second upgrade opportunity offer a group coaching or group session to help others launch their products.
Make sure to take a look at the upsell that Alice is offering because there is so much content there, but specifically…
You'll get more content on product launching. That means it'll work in your funnel very well. This is actually worth the entire investment of the upgrade if you're going to put together a funnel because this piece alone has a lead magnet, an opt-in page, and an email series to promote the lead magnet. All of this can be set up with the Product Launch Super Pack in the main offer if you want to use this instead of or as another opt-in gateway to your product.
As a bonus to the product you're going to be selling you can add the Guide to Copywriting report that is included in the upgrade offer.
For less than $60 you can gets tons of content and get a funnel up in your business.
==>Grab the Must Have Marketing Strategies Mega Pack For Only $17
Don't forget to share all the free resources and content that you've produced from the PLR you bought. 🙂
The ideas that I've shared above are just a few ways that you can use this or any done-for-you content. You can literally use it in at least a hundred different ways – so don't limit yourself in what you can do with it.
P.S. It all starts with a funnel so don't forget to sign up and download this Free Funnel Design Planner.

Minakari or Meenakari (Persian: میناکاری) is the process of painting and colouring the surfaces of metals and ceramic tiles through enameling originating in Safavid Iran. It is practiced as an art form and commercially produced mainly in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India (the term Kundan is more widely used in India). Minakari art usually involves intricate designs (mainly using geometric shapes and designs) and is applied as a decorative feature to serving dishes, containers, vases, frames, display ornaments and jewelry.

How To Use *args and **kwargs in Python 3
*args and **kwargs
I have come to see that most new python programmers have a hard time figuring out the *args and **kwargs magic variables. So what are they ? First of all let me tell you that it is not necessary to write *args or **kwargs. Only the * (asterisk) is necessary. You could have also written *var and **vars. Writing *args and **kwargs is just a convention.
The special syntax, *args and **kwargs in function definitions is used to pass a variable number of arguments to a function. The single asterisk form *args is used to pass a non-keyworded, variable-length argument list, and the double asterisk form is used to pass a keyworded, variable-length argument list. Here is an example of how to use the non-keyworded form. So now lets take a look at *args first.
Usage of *args
*args and **kwargs are mostly used in function definitions. *args and **kwargs allow you to pass a variable number of arguments to a function. What variable means here is that you do not know beforehand how many arguments can be passed to your function by the user so in this case you use these two keywords. *args is used to send a non-keyworded variable length argument list to the function. Here's an example to help you get a clear idea:
Example 1
def test_var_args(f_arg, *argv):
print("first normal arg:", f_arg)
for arg in argv:
print("another arg through *argv:", arg)
test_var_args('yasoob', 'python', 'eggs', 'test')
This produces the following result:
first normal arg: yasoob
another arg through *argv: python
another arg through *argv: eggs
another arg through *argv: test
Example 2
def multiply(*args):
z = 1
for num in args:
z *= num
When we run this code, we'll receive the product for each of these function calls:
>>> multiply(4, 5)
>>> multiply(10, 9)
>>> multiply(2, 3, 4)
>>> multiply(3, 5, 10, 6)
>>> mylist = [2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> multiply(*mylist)
>>> my_var = (2, 3, 4, 5)
>>> multiply(*my_var)
Because we used *args to send a variable-length argument list to our function, we were able to pass in as many arguments as we wished into the function calls.
With *args you can create more flexible code that accepts a varied amount of non-keyworded arguments within your function.
Understanding **kwargs
The double asterisk form of **kwargs is used to pass a keyworded, variable-length argument dictionary to a function. Again, the two asterisks (**) are the important element here, as the word kwargs is conventionally used, though not enforced by the language.
Like *args, **kwargs can take however many arguments you would like to supply to it. However, **kwargs differs from *args in that you will need to assign keywords.
First, let's simply print out the **kwargs arguments that we pass to a function. We'll create a short function to do this:
Example 1
def print_kwargs(**kwargs):
>>> print_kwargs(kwargs_1="Shark", kwargs_2=4.5, kwargs_3=True)
{'kwargs_1': 'Shark', 'kwargs_2': 4.5, 'kwargs_3': True}
>>> my_dictionary = {'one': '1', 'two': '2', 'three': '3'}
>>> print_kwargs(**my_dictionary)
{'one': '1', 'two': '2', 'three': '3'}
Depending on the version of Python 3 you are currently using, the dictionary data type may be unordered. In Python 3.6 and above, you'll receive the key-value pairs in order, but in earlier versions, the pairs will be output in a random order.
What is important to note is that a dictionary called kwargs is created and we can work with it just like we can work with other dictionaries.
Example 2
Let's now pass additional arguments to the function to show that **kwargs will accept however many arguments you would like to include:
def print_values(**kwargs):
for key, value in kwargs.items():
print("The value of {} is {}".format(key, value))
When we run the program at this point, we'll receive the following output, which may be unordered:
# python3
Python 3.5.3 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:11:04)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170118] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print_values(
... name_1="Alex",
... name_2="Gray",
... name_3="Harper",
... name_4="Phoenix",
... name_5="Remy",
... name_6="Val"
... )
The value of name_4 is Phoenix
The value of name_6 is Val
The value of name_5 is Remy
The value of name_1 is Alex
The value of name_2 is Gray
The value of name_3 is Harper
Using **kwargs provides us with flexibility to use keyword arguments in our program. When we use **kwargs as a parameter, we don't need to know how many arguments we would eventually like to pass to a function.
Ordering Arguments
When ordering arguments within a function or function call, arguments need to occur in a particular order:
- Formal positional arguments
- *args
- Keyword arguments
- **kwargs
In practice, when working with explicit positional parameters along with *args and **kwargs, your function would look like this:
def example(arg_1, arg_2, *args, **kwargs):
And, when working with positional parameters along with named keyword parameters in addition to *args and **kwargs, your function would look like this:
def example2(arg_1, arg_2, *args, kw_1="shark", kw_2="blobfish", **kwargs):
It is important to keep the order of arguments in mind when creating functions so that you do not receive a syntax error in your Python code.

If you've been following some of my past blogs, then first of all – thank you!
As you've probably noticed, I've talked a lot about new construction homes. I sold new construction homes for 9 years, and worked with hundreds of families to find new homes all over the Chicago area. I still have many contacts in new construction today, so I know of new projects coming up, and can get you the inside scoop.
New construction homes are can be found in areas like Algonquin, Huntley, Lake in the Hills and Crystal Lake. New construction homes are very popular in the McHenry County and Kane county area. Land is much cheaper when you get further away from Chicago, so builders can offer new homes at affordable prices.
Lets be honest – most buyers (yes, I'm talking to you) are drawn to the bright and shiny objects, because duh, they're bright and shiny! Everyone wants the quartz countertops, hardwood floors, stainless appliances, updated bathrooms… And that's fine… But what if I were to tell you, there are 5 hidden secrets to buying a new construction home that you should not overlook!
Let's Go.
They say location is everything in real estate (this is true), but timing is also important. If you're considering a new construction development, ask the builder (or contact me!) about these questions:
How many sales AND closings has the builder had since opening? This an important question to ask, because you want to know if people are buying. Sales are great, but closings are more important. You don't want to be one of a few homes that have sold in the community, surrounded by empty land and no neighbors. If that's the case, it could mean the builder is priced too high, or the location is just not desirable. Wait it out, let the builder drop prices, wait for some sales and then get in.
On the contrary, if sales and closings are happening at a fast pace, then you'll want to get in before prices get too high!
If you're unsure of the pricing, like most people are, then you should contact me and I can help!
Are there any other phases to be developed, and if so, when? The builder might be doing 30-40 lots right now, but, there may be 2-3 more phases that are planned for undeveloped land. You'll want to know what their plan is, when they project to have it completed, and do they own the land.
What is the pricing history at this community? Again, another important question to ask. You'll want to know what has been going on with past pricing: have prices gone up, down, or stayed the same? I've seen new construction communities (recently) drop prices $30-50k within the first year of opening them! Some of the first buyers bought at the original prices, only to see their neighbors get the same house for $50k less. Don't let that happen to you. My brokerage, 103 Realty, can help gather the pricing history for any new construction community. Let us help you.
Make sure you ask if your new home will be energy efficient. Having an energy efficient home is good for the environment, and it will cut down your utility costs!
With the new building codes and the Obama administration's changes to energy efficiency in homes, most builders have stepped up their game. But you'll still want to find out what kind of insulation builders are using, efficiency of the furnace, window ratings, and much more. You can also contact me and I'll help you ask the right questions.
This is a big one, and it might even be #1 to ask a builder. When you buy a used house, you know what the previous year tax bill is so there should be no surprises. When you buy a new house, there is no previous year tax bill for the house because there wasn't a house last year, only land.
You'll want to ask the builder what they estimate for taxes, they'll usually give you a percentage that can be anywhere from 2.5% of the sale price, up to 4% + sometimes.
Additionally, you'll want to have your realtor (me) verify this with the township & county. The reason this is so important because 1. the township & county will be more accurate and 2. you'll know if the builder is being truthful; it will tell you a lot about who you are (or are not) doing business with!
It's always good to ask what construction materials are being used. Is the builder using 2×4 framing or 2×6? What is the thickness of the foundation's walls? Is the siding a vinyl, hardie board or smart siding? What kind of roof is included? These are just a few construction questions to ask. Ask me for some more, trust me, I have plenty!
On top of our tax bills, sometimes you'll see new construction communities with Special Service Area taxes (SSA). These are additional taxes a buyer will have to pay, usually $20,000-$30,000 over the course of 20-25 years. It comes from the municipality to pay for infrastructure, improvements, or other facilities desired for the community.
Why are their SSA's? These are development costs for common areas or for public areas, and someone has to pay for them. It's either the taxpayers or the builder. These can be tricky so we definitely recommend you get in touch with your realtor, and find out which communities have SSA's.
Do you have any other questions on new construction homes in Algonquin, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Crystal Lake or surrounding areas? Then fire away, let's talk today! – firstname.lastname@example.com or 312.217.4398
After you have selected a builder, there are other questions that you should ask relating to the specific project and contract. Subscribe to our website or contact us for more information on questions to ask Chicago home builders and other related topics.
We look forward to helping you find the right builder, and happy house hunting! -Pat Kalamatas (Realtor/Owner 103 Realty) / firstname.lastname@example.com or 312.217.4398

By Justin Latif, Local Democracy Reporter
Church minister Suiva'aia Te'o says proactive communication, compassion and clear information have led to a fully vaccinated congregation.
Like most churches operating under level three and four rules, the Sāmoan Methodist Māngere Central church livestreams services on Facebook and holds Bible studies and prayer meetings over Zoom.
To keep the young people engaged they run Kahoot! quizzes and online talent shows.

- Other NZ covid lockdown reports
But when lockdown rules lift, the congregation will be able to confidently worship in person — because all 120 of them are already double-vaccinated.
The church's Reverend Suiva'aia Te'o says no edict or mandate was imposed by her or anyone else. Rather, she made sure everyone was given clear and relevant information, and then members of the congregation got the vaccinations of their own volition.
"One Sunday I gave a brief talk about why they should take it. My thinking was if everybody understands why, then they can make a decision for themselves," she says.
Te'o was motivated to promote the vaccine after attending a talk organised by Pacific health provider South Seas for church ministers in South Auckland. She says the crux of her message to the congregation was to do it for the "love of family".
'We breathe the same air'
"We all live in the same world and we breathe the same air," she says. "The delta variant can spread so easily, and so I reminded them it was about the safety of their families, the safety of the community and the safety of the church."
She also recruited the support of her church's youth group leaders, including Māngere College student Gardinea Lemoa.
"We have youth meetings every Friday and so I've just been encouraging them to get vaccinated and to get their friends and family vaccinated as well," says Lemoa.
"We've also been making up memes so they could post things on their social media accounts."
Te'o is well aware that some Christian leaders are calling the covid-19 vaccine the "mark of the beast" and a sign of the end times, but she's got no time for such attempts to stoke fear.
"I know they say that's what they believe, but I don't agree. I think it's just an excuse and they need to get vaccinated.
"We have got this remedy, and I'm convinced it has been developed with God-given wisdom and knowledge by professionals so we can be safe."
86% of eligible Pacific population
Before this weekend 86 percent of the eligible Pacific population have had their first dose, compared to 89 percent of Europeans and close to 100 percent of the Asian population.
Around 50,000 Counties Manukau District Health Board residents still need to get their second dose in order to reach the 90 percent double-vaccinated threshold. It's a marker the Auckland and Waitematā DHB populations need about 15,000 and 40,000 doses respectively to reach.
Given the lower vaccination rates for Pacific peoples, associate professor of public health at the University of Auckland Dr Collin Tukuitonga says it is still a source of frustration that the Ministry of Health decided on a centralised approach at the start of the vaccine rollout and didn't lean more on churches to support the immunisation programme.
"It is encouraging to see so many community-led initiatives happening now. But these should have been resourced from the beginning," he says.
"Instead, the first big mass vaccination event was held at [higher learning institution] Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT). It was great that they got 16,000 people vaccinated then, but it actually made things worse in some ways, because they barely vaccinated any Māori or Pacific people."
He says when local organisations like churches are empowered to take the lead, mistrust and misinformation become less of a hurdle to overcome.
"Now we have Pacific providers taking ownership we are finally seeing a lot more acceptance and uptake of the vaccine."
Quickly got on board
Te'o says though her congregation quickly got on board with the vaccination rollout, many have still found lockdown challenging.
"I thought with this lockdown it would be quiet for us, but it's not – there's more and more Zoom meetings and more work. It's been a hard time, the world is changing a lot for so many of us and there's a lot of uncertainty.
"We've been providing food parcels for some families and some have needed small monetary grants to help with paying the power or other bills."
But one thing she is confident about, given all her congregation is vaccinated, is that when they do get back to in-person services they'll all have that extra layer of protection.

Date Time
The Date Time field allows input of a date or a date and a time, which display and interpretation you can specify as format, e.g., show dates with year/month/day or day-month-year.
Date Time Overview

Date Time edit mode | |
Date &Time Selection | You can click on the date or time in the top area to make your edit. After editing press Apply. |
Date time read-only display | |
Behavior | Attention: you must press the Apply button to save your date and time selection; clicking out of the calendar and time input cancels your choice. |
Limitation | The simple search in the content browser cannot find dates. In such a case, we recommend adding a channel filter. |

Picturepark Setup Example | Layer: Corporate Information (ID: CorporateInformation) |
Fieldpath | corporateInformation.embargoDate |
Advanced search for field | |
Advanced search for the field value | |

Returned field value | returns date as: 2019-12-19T01:02:02.000Z84 |
Date Time Field Settings
Name | The setting "name" is available for various things in Picturepark e.g. fields, schemas, business rules. This value defines what appears in the Picturepark interface. You can change the name at any time, and translate it into any configured metadata language. If you would like to add a translation for the name, just press Add.
ID | The field id is the ID of your field, which is used to link to this field. The field id is always lowercase. The id of the field is set on the creation of a new field, using camel casing. You need the field id for the configuration of filters or display pattern. The ID is automatically created from the name you insert:
You can open the Display Pattern Editor to see the JSON of a Content Item. |
Checkbox "Date and time." | Enabled: user can input date and time |
Set current date/time when creating Items | This will set the current date or date-time when Content Items or List Items which such a field are created. This will also add the current date or date-time to Content Items when a Layer with such a field is added. |
Format | The default format is DD-MMM-YYYY HH:mm:ss. D stands for the day, M for the month, Y for the year. H stands for the hour, m for the minute, and s for the second. The number of those characters decides if, e.g., the day shows as 1, Mon, Monday. Sometimes two characters are possible, sometimes not. You can check the underlying JSON Schema definition, or you can play around with the preview directly displayed in the Content Platform: The format setting supports the JSON Schema Date Pattern, e.g., MM/DD/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss. |
Sortable | The field setting "sortable" for a field defines if Picturepark uses the values of those fields for sorting of List Items (in Lists). Sorting of contents based on fields in a Layer is possible via the channel configuration, which only considers fields marked as sortable. All fields except for Geo Point and Relationship fields are sortable. This can be changed after field creation. Sort items based on the date entered to find the newest or oldest. |
Include in filters | The field setting "Include in filters" allows the field to be added as a filter for content (see Channels Configuration) and the field values to be edited in the Batch Editor (indexed fields). Picturepark checks this setting against the allowed number of Search-indexed fields in your subscription plan. While it may be tempting to include all fields in filters and simple search also boosting them, you may revisit this idea based on your subscription plan limit, and by testing your common search scenarios - too much values will not automatically result in better search results. Adding Dates or DateTime as a filter would show each single data entry. Therefore dates should be aggregated into periods (ranges), e.g., this week, this month, this year. |
Include in search | The field setting "Include in Search" determines whether the field's values should be considered in content browser simple search operations. If this option is not enabled, the search does not consider the values of the field in search operations. This can be useful, for example, if the field is used for internal discussions or work directives that you don't want to affect the search results. Picturepark checks those settings against the allowed number of Search-indexed fields in your subscription plan. While it may be tempting to include all fields in filters and simple search also boosting them, you may revisit this idea based on your subscription plan limit. The simple search in the content browser cannot find dates. In such a case, we recommend adding a channel filter. |

Jewish food is full of history, depth, and diversity. But it's much more than just food, it represents a nation scattered and reunited, and it is full of all manner of stories and backgrounds.
How might we tell the deep and complex story of Jewish food from a human perspective?
I aimed to create a platform where people could learn about Jewish food from the perspective of the memories and stories surrounding those foods, since a big part of the uniqueness and depth of Jewish food is precisely that—its stories and the people making it for generations.
I noticed that there is no available database to preserve valuable stories and memories pertaining to Jewish food from a more personal perspective.

The Set Table
The Set Table is an interactive index that presents meaningful Jewish dishes from various countries and ethnicities, with an emphasis on the stories and memories of each dish in an informative, yet personal and intimate context. Through the index, one can explore and deep dive into each dish and into its history and memories, in an engaging manner.

We, as people, have become accustomed to a life full of practicalities, consumption and shortcuts. But we know (or care) little about the irreversible implications our behaviors have on our planet and our health.
How might we help people develop awareness on the damage of using everyday products unsustainably?
We aimed to provide awareness on the global effects the products we consume everyday by engaging the user through an interactive and visually appealing platform, raising curiosity through concise and evocative visual language and by providing clear and relevant data about each item's effects throughout its life cycle.
We identified a real lack of awareness and education on the impact our behaviors have on the planet and on our lives. Part of the impact is caused by the daily use of disposable household products.
Next project
EVENTUALLY // Digital, web design
I researched all the available platforms that focus on Jewish food and Jewish history, and mapped the aspects I could incorporate into my concept, and any missing elements that I could include. I looked into various books on Jewish food history to gain a deeper understanding of the subject, and interviewed people around me for a better sense of how people relate to Jewish food.
From my findings, I mapped the main aspects I wanted to include in the platform. Then, I arranged the data into different categories and forms of navigation in which to sort the dishes. Next, I focused on ideating a way to present the dishes in both an informative manner, but also through the stories of real people.
My aim was to keep the visual identity of the index neutral enough to keep the primary focus on the dishes, the memories and the information. I wanted to create a clean space that was easy to navigate and explore, that still created a surprising and deep experience for the user.
This project is very close to my heart. Jewish food has always been a passion for me, and so it was an exploration of how to incorporate tangible aspects, such as foods, colors, and sensations, with more personal aspects like memories and emotions, into an interactive index. My mission was to tell the story of Jewish food in a more personal and human way, and I am very satisfied with the results. In the future, I would further explore the visual identity of the index, and would focus on better defining the experience.

Fiona Bland, early years adviser at NDNA, explains how to get the most out of staff supervision meetings…
Q: Are staff supervision meetings compulsory?
A: The EYFS requires each member of staff to have appropriate supervision meetings with a member of the management team. These supervision meetings are part of the ongoing supervision and monitoring process that happens in nurseries on a daily basis in a variety of forms. This requirement for individual supervision meetings has been informed by serious case reviews, such as the Plymouth Serious Case Review, and research into the impact of staff qualifications and knowledge on children's development and progress. You must also remember to make arrangements for supervision meetings for the nursery manager; this could be with the nursery owner, the chair of the management committee or, if appropriate, with a member of the local authority early years team.
Q: What are the aims of supervision meetings?
A: Supervision in a nursery is ongoing and takes many forms. This new requirement for supervision meetings is to provide further opportunities for practitioners to discuss the children's progress and development, their own progress, any support or training they may need and any sensitive issues they may need support with. The EYFS sets out the aims of individual supervisions.
● Provide support to members of staff.
● Give opportunity for practitioners to discuss concerns/sensitive issues.
● Identify strengths and areas for development.
● Identify coaching and mentoring needs.
● Highlight training needs.
The new requirement for supervision gives managers an opportunity to…
● Support staff members with their development needs.
● Provide mentoring and coaching options.
● Share successes.
● Identify any children who need support.
● Discuss any safeguarding concerns.
● Support staff members with their own self-reflection.
● Ensure issues/problems are solved.
● Build trusting relationships that provide a culture of information sharing.
Q: Who should conduct supervision meetings?
A: The manager doesn't always have to be the person who carries out the supervision meetings. It may be that room leaders can do their own room, or the deputy manager could do some. It is important that your supervisions are structured to provide discussion around staff development and support and any sensitive issues and concerns affecting team members. You should try to ensure that whoever is carrying out the supervision has had appropriate training and has a good relationship with the supervisee.
Q: How can I get the most out of supervision meetings?
A: To ensure that your staff are involved in the supervision process you should enable them to have a shared responsibility for supervision meetings. Both parties should be filling out any supervision forms/paperwork prior to the meeting in order to get their thoughts and ideas on paper. This will save time during the meeting and will ensure a more productive and focused meeting. Supervision offers the opportunities to discuss issues such as…
● What has the staff member enjoyed most/least since the last supervision meeting?
● The staff member's relationship with key children and their parents.
● Are there any areas of work they need support with?
● Date of next meeting and actions to be completed before the next meeting.
Supervision meetings are likely to identify development needs. External training may not always be the best option for supporting your team. There may be a lack of finance to support training, or not enough time, or you may be unable to provide staff cover. Assigning a mentor or coach may be a more beneficial and cost effective way to provide support to practitioners.
Mentoring is linked with professional and career development and is somewhat characterised by an 'expert-novice' relationship (for example, you might invite an experienced member of your staff team to mentor a new member of your team in developing activities for your forest school planning). Coaching is defined with a narrower remit than mentoring and relates to specific areas of performance and job outcomes.

Hybrid events blend the best qualities of virtual event platforms with traditional venue-based events — literally offering the best of both worlds. They're increasingly popular, and work well when you're programming topics and activities that can be communicated to both physical and online audiences.
One of the greatest benefits of hybrid events is how much easier it is for organisers to ensure their event is inclusive and accessible. Here's why you can no longer afford to ignore event inclusivity, and how you can lower barriers to access with your next hybrid event.
What Inclusivity Means At Your Event
Inclusivity can't be reduced to a checkbox exercise — it is based on a universal principle, but implementation is contextual. If you intend to be inclusive, you're making a commitment to host an event that doesn't exclude anyone based on disability, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender and so on. Inclusive events also commit to actively lowering traditional barriers to access. Practically, this may look like:
- Accommodating people with hearing, physical and vision impairments
- Designing a mix of activities and interfaces that cater to both neurotypical and neurodivergent people
- Securing diverse speakers and panels that represent a range of perspectives
- Programming inclusive event content that speaks to a diverse audience
- Ensuring your team use inclusive language, both on the floor and in all promotional materials
We're diverse in more ways than just race or ethnicity — while these are important to consider, humans also embrace and embody a range of genders, languages, classes, sexual orientations, and abilities. Consider the full breadth of diversity, and then make sure everyone feels safe, included, heard and welcome.
Why Inclusive Events Are No Longer Optional
According to McKinsey, businesses that invest in Diversity and Inclusion initiatives continuously financially outperform competitors who maintain the status quo. While this data speaks to internal structural changes within an organisation, it reflects the opportunities available to brands who embrace Diversity and Inclusion actively, and through public commitments like hosting events that are inclusive by design. Bold action on inclusion by brands makes good business sense and builds goodwill among audiences and employees — cornerstones to your organisation's sustainability.
Ensuring everyone feels welcome at your event, regardless of their identity and status, gives all attendees access to the wealth of valuable insights, perspectives, and experiences that a diverse audience can offer. Diversity of thought and perspective generates higher-quality event content that makes it more worthwhile for people to attend.
Finally, by programming diverse content and ensuring accessibility, you can expect increased event attendance — as more people are able to access your event, and engage with content they find relevant, in a safe and welcoming space. This maximises exposure to your brand.
Simple Ways To Make Your Next Hybrid Event More Inclusive
Thankfully, there are actionable steps you can take to make your next event more inclusive.
- Planning a hybrid event lays a strong foundation towards inclusion. Because it's accessible both on-location and online, a hybrid event immediately makes your content easier to engage with by anyone who may find venue-based events more stressful or prohibitive.
- Embrace inclusivity by design. Make inclusivity a core principle that's applied from inception and planning, through to the event and beyond. If it's tacked on as an afterthought, attendees will notice and it may prove counterproductive.
- Scrutinise your programming. Ensure your speaker list and associated content, including promotional materials, is suitable and engaging for a diverse audience. To do this, gather input from a variety of stakeholders and consider as many different perspectives as you can expose yourself to.
- Use technology to your advantage. Ensure you have the right tools and technology in place to help you keep remote viewers engaged throughout. Scrutinise potential vendors, and favour those with a demonstrated history of reliability, innovation and quality of service.
- Leverage interpreting tools. Including remote simultaneous interpretation can make your event significantly more accessible. Not only will attendees from around the world be able to understand your content, sign language interpreters can also open up the opportunity for people with hearing impairments to follow along.
Partner With A Leader In Multilingual And Hybrid Events
To host a successful hybrid event, you'll be relying on a number of vendors and service providers. These partners will directly affect your attendees' experience. Having an experienced technology partner by your side from planning through to implementation, will add immense value to your event and secure your peace of mind.
Inteprefy has delivered remote simultaneous interpretation to global brands — including Google, J.P. Morgan, and Facebook — wanting to deliver truly immersive, inclusive events to their audience. And we can do the same for you.
Whether you need an interpreting platform or an entire event platform with interpreting capabilities — we've got the team and technology. From assistance with project management, to support, sourcing interpreters, training speakers, event recording, and more — we'd love to help.
Reach out to the Interprefy team and let's discuss how we can create your next inclusive, hybrid event together.

We are often told that young evangelicals are rejecting biblical teaching on marriage, premarital sex, and homosexuality. However a study to be released by Mark Regnerus, a sociologist from the University of Texas, indicates that Evangelicals ages 18 to 39 are resisting liberal trends we see in the culture.
Regnerus introduced his findings at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission's leadership summit in presentation called "Sex in America: Sociological Trends in American Sexuality"
Listen to the entire presentation:
Russell Moore and Andrew Walker wrote about this study in National Review last week:
According to Regnerus, when compared with the general population and with their non-observant peers, churchgoing Evangelical Christians are retaining orthodox views on Biblical sexuality, despite the shifts in broader American culture.
Regnerus surveyed 15,378 persons between the ages of 18 and 60, but he focuses in particular on respondents under 40. Significantly, Regnerus did the important work of differentiating between those who identify merely verbally with a particular religious tradition and those who actually attend church weekly. A political poll that didn't differentiate between likely and unlikely voters wouldn't be an accurate representation of the electorate, and for the same reasons, a survey should distinguish between someone who says "Catholic" or "Baptist" when asked for a religious identity and someone who actually shows up in the pews.
While support for same-sex marriage characterized a solid majority of those identifying as atheists, agnostics, liberal Catholics, and liberal Protestants, only 11 percent of young Evangelicals actively expressed support for same-sex marriage.
Approximately 6 percent of religiously active Evangelicals expressed support for abortion rights, while over 70 percent of their non-believing peer group said they believed in abortion rights.
While a large cross-section of all Americans believe in marriage's importance, Regnerus found that, for example, Evangelicals are less likely than most to perceive marriage as "outdated."
Evangelical Christians were also drastically less likely to believe that cohabitation is a good idea. While upward of 70 percent of those who claim no religious affiliation or those who are "spiritual but not religious" agree that cohabitation is acceptable, approximately 5 percent of Evangelicals agreed that cohabitation is acceptable. "While left-leaning Evangelicals have received considerable media attention lately, it pays to survey the masses and see just what's going on," says Regnerus. "These data suggest that while a modest minority of Evangelicals under 40 profess what we might call more sexually liberal attitudes, it's not a significant minority. Minorities can be vocal. Survey data help us understand just how large or small they really are."
It is great to see that young evangelicals are not embracing what is becoming a cultural norm. This is a significant study. What the study probably doesn't address is the "graduation evacuation" that many churches experience when their students graduate high school and go onto college.
Those who do stay are faithful to biblical teaching on sexuality. Moore and Walker also point out:
Beliefs aren't assumed but are articulated over and against a culture that finds them implausible. Evangelical views on sexuality seem strange, but young Evangelicals in post-Christianizing America have already embraced strangeness by spending Sunday morning at church rather than at brunch.
They can't be assumed, they must be articulated to our young people before the leave the nest and after at home and in the church. With the pressures that our young people face when leaving for college it is vital that they are well prepared to stand firm.

You see, at first I wanted that all things belonged to me", said Dimitrijus. At the age of 14, Dimitrijus started working in the children's home. He used to lay and clean the tables, wash the dishes and perform other household chores. "I would not spend the money earned. I used to take some for myself, and give the rest to the mentor, so that I would not be tempted to spend it", said the young man.
Missed the family
The young man does not hide he really missed a true family. "Of course, I wanted to have someone who loved me and always care of me," said Dimitrijus, who was living in the children's home with his sister. Dimitrijus mentions he does not keep in touch with his mother and brothers, as they have caused too much pain. "I am OK being alone," finished Dimitrijus about his family. Dimitrijus started living independently at a mentor's place. The woman allowed Dimitrijus and his friend to stay temporarily in her come. "Having graduated from the secondary school, I started studying in a vocational school. According to the law, the orphans studying full-time receive the benefit of 520 litas per month. It is not a lot, but it comes in useful", told Dimitrijus about the beginning of independent life. Volunteering in Czech Republic Dimitrijus got interested in volunteering after the volunteers from different countries started visiting the children's home. During the summers of several years, he participated in youth exchange projects in Lithuania, Czech Republic, and Poland. After the first visit to the camp in Czech Republic, Dimitrijus took interest in volunteering possibilities in the country. "While volunteering, not only I learn of the culture and language of the country, but also share the experience with the young people of a similar fate. It is interesting to me how they start their independent life, what state support they receive", said Dimitrijus. The young man helps the project managers in organising leisure for small children, handles administrative tasks and communicates with young people in families at risk.

"Should be regarded as necessary reading for researchers and graduate students who plan to work with or alongside indigenous people. The book is easy to read, ethically sound, and leaves the reader with a greater sense of the extraordinary knowledge and wisdom held by indigenous people in this part of the world."
—Alaska Journal of Anthropology
Shem Pete (1896–1989), the colorful and brilliant raconteur from Susitna Station, Alaska, left a rich legacy of knowledge about the Upper Cook Inlet Dena'ina world. Shem was one of the most versatile storytellers and historians in twentieth century Alaska. His lifetime travel map of approximately 13,500 square miles is one of the largest ever documented in this degree of detail anywhere in the world.
The 1987 and 2003 editions of Shem Pete's Alaska contributed much to Dena'ina cultural identity and to public appreciation of the Dena'ina place names network in Upper Cook Inlet. Expanding upon the already extensive source materials from Shem Pete and more than fifty other contributors, this 2016 edition has nearly four hundred new annotations or revisions, including twenty-eight new place name entries and twenty-one new pictures and maps. The authors provide synopses of Dena'ina language, culture, history, and prehistory; summaries of the rule-driven Dena'ina/Athabascan geography; and discussions of place name research methodology. This edition's indexing and cross-referencing features enhance its utility both for research and as a field guide.
With editorial refinements spanning more than three decades, this 2016 edition of Shem Pete's Alaska will remain the essential reference work on the Dena'ina people of Upper Cook Inlet. Already influential in the ethnogeographic genre, the book's use of Native language materials and sources, and its blend of linguistic and anthropological scholarship, is unlikely to be surpassed.

The emergence of concomitant trials for multiple investigational drug products for the treatment of rare diseases can pose significant challenges to effective drug development due to the limited number of patients worldwide with any given rare condition. The purpose of this guidance is to facilitate drug development in pediatric rare diseases. In particular, it discusses a new possible approach to enhance the efficiency of drug development in pediatric rare diseases using Gaucher disease as an example. This new approach consists of a controlled, multi-arm, multi-company clinical trial, which aims to facilitate the development of multiple drug products in a time efficient manner while minimizing the number of patients necessary to be treated with placebo.
The general principles presented should be viewed as a proposal only, and the principles underlying the proposal may be extended to other areas of drug development in rare diseases. Of note, the specific recommendations regarding drug development for Gaucher Disease apply only to systemic (i.e., non-neurological) manifestations of Gaucher disease in treatment-naïve patients with Type I and Type III phenotypes, across all the pediatric ages (i.e., up to 18 years of age).

Description: I am still using 3.2 and was would like to upgrade to 4.1. The install instructions for 4.0 recommend that you first upgrade to from 3.2 to 4.0, then 4.1. I am running PHP, Perl and MyODBC and pre bug report #348 this issue has yet to be resolved. Issue: "Upgrading to 4.0 MySQL may not be possible if you run PHP, Perl or MyODBC.... At this time, most rpm's and packages have a dependency on libmysqlclient.so.10, instead of libmysqlclient.so or libmysqlclient.so.12. This does not occur in every case since the linkage process differs with different build strategies. If you have this difficulty may wish to file a bug "http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Bug_reports.html report" as well as the particular 3rd party vendor/packager and request that the 3rd party upgrade thier package linkage for libmysqlclient.so. Any strategies for short term work arounds would be helpful." - Has this lib issue been resolved? - Is there new installation documentation avalible somewhere that allows a version jump? If this issue is not resolved, it will be interesting to see how users are to jump from 3.2 to 5.0 here in the near furture. How to repeat:

For MySQL 4.0.13, we now also provide a new RPM "MySQL-shared-compat" (see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Linux-RPM.html) - does this resolve the problem for you?
[26 May 2003 2:56]
Lenz Grimmer
Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ Providing the MySQL-shared-compat package seems to have resolved this issue for the time being.

More than 70 species of wood are used to make plywood. The varied adhesives used in the process weigh more than the wood itself. The combined inconsistency of materials makes plywood weight calculations differ to some degree. But there are generic formulas, and when used as guidelines only, can be used to calculate plywood weight.
The Formula
Engineers have rounded-off weight calculations for plywood to square foot calculations, and have decided that, for engineering purposes, a generic square foot of 3/4-inch-thick hardwood plywood weighs 2.3 pounds. A 4-by-8 sheet of plywood equals 32 square feet, so 32 times 2.3, is just over 70 pounds per sheet.
Video of the Day
Hard and Soft
Hardwood is more dense than softwood, so a sheet of fir plywood will typically weigh less than a sheet of maple. If you're not sure what you're dealing with, it's always better to estimate on the heavy side, especially when loading multiple pieces on a pickup truck, for example, or estimating the weight for a floor.
The Lightest Plywood
The species of plywood can make a difference in weight. The lightest hardwood plywood is typically made with poplar, alder or mahogany. Softwood varieties will typically weigh less than the hardwood varieties, but the lightest plywood of them all is typically pine. If you absolutely have to have the lightest plywood available, special ultralight plywood is also available.
Actual Versus Nominal
Plywood thicknesses are another issue. Even though you might purchase plywood stated as 3/4-inch-thick, it's likely thinner. Plywood is sized nominally, which is a generic reference to it's thickness. For example, a 3/4-inch piece of plywood may only measure 13/16 inch actual thickness, and therefore weigh slightly less than it's nominal measurement of 3/4 inch.
Different Thicknesses
The square foot weight calculation is different for specific, nominal thicknesses of plywood. For example, 1/4-inch thick Baltic birch plywood is estimated at about .8 pounds per square foot, weighing just over 25 pounds a sheet, while 1/2-inch-thick birch plywood is estimated at 1.5 pounds per square foot, and using the engineering formula, tips the scales at about 48 pounds.
Practical Purposes
It's one thing to do the math and come up with your own calculations, but most cabinetmakers and builders use more simple calculations, determined by a generic weight per sheet. The numbers typically err on the heavy side.
Hardwood Per Sheet
- 3/4 inch: 75 pounds.
- 1/2 inch: 50 pounds.
- 1/4 inch: 25 pounds.
Softwood Per Sheet
- 3/4 inch: 65 pounds
- 1/2 inch: 40 pounds
- 1/4 inch: 22 pounds
Other Sheet Materials
Plywood might not actually be plywood, but actually an engineered product. Lots of cabinets and furniture makers rely on a particle board or MDF -- medium-density-fiberboard -- and it's heavier than plywood. With a hardwood veneer, MDF has a dense particle board core, and looks just like ordinary plywood. It's much heavier, tipping the scales at between 90 and 100 pounds for a single sheet. If you're not sure if it's MDF or not, examine the side. If you see layers it's plywood. If it's solid it's MDF.
The Average Load
The average half-ton pickup truck can safely haul about 1,000 pounds. A dozen sheets of 3/4-inch softwood plywood weighs about 850 pounds, which, when added to your own body weight is about as many sheets as you can haul safely on a half-ton pickup.

Our family has been wanting this feature for years, and it's finally available on Piano Marvel! It's Piano Marvel Prepare Mode, and it can be used when you're learning how to play a new song. It waits for you as you play.
Now there are two modes: Prepare Mode and Assess Mode.
Prepare Mode
In Prepare Mode, you have to play the correct notes before the app will let you continue the song. It will show you the wrong notes in red and the correct notes in green. The blue line that keeps your place in the music will stay at that spot until you play the right notes. You will not get a score at the end of the song.
This is helpful in two different parts of learning a song:
- First stage: You can focus on learning the correct notes before worrying about playing the correct rhythm. It will be easier to learn a new song because you have fewer things to worry about. You can make sure you're playing the notes with the correct fingers and the proper technique, instead of just trying to hit the right notes.
- Final stage: It's great in the final stage of learning a song – polishing it and playing with musicality. Now you're not restricted to staying on the beat for the whole song. You can speed up or slow down in different parts of the song, and it will be much more enjoyable to play. Of course, you could easily do this with the printed sheet music. But for a long song, you might prefer to play it on Piano Marvel, where it will keep you from losing your spot and also turn your pages for you.
One more thing to note about Prepare Mode: there is no accompaniment music to go along with what you're playing, like there is in Assess Mode. Hopefully in the future they will add that option, which will make it more fun to play in the final stage of learning a song.
Assess Mode
Assess Mode is the way Piano Marvel has always worked. Once you hit space bar or press the play button, Piano Marvel will start counting a measure and then have you come in. It will stay strictly on the beat and won't stop if you make a mistake. After you finish the song you will receive a score, based on your notes and rhythm. It will also show you the incorrect notes in red and the correct notes played in green.
Give it a Try for Free
To try out the new Prepare Mode, sign up for a free account. If you choose to get a monthly premium account, you only pay $12/month with my Piano Marvel promo code KATE. I receive a small commission if you sign up using my promo code.
My kids were so excited to hear about the new Prepare Mode! It will make challenging songs easier for them to learn. I hope you will try it out and let me know how you like it.
You can also check out the YouTube video about the new Piano Marvel Prepare Mode feature, and look at my Piano Marvel page and Piano Marvel review for information about the entire app.
