October 19 – Barcelona are the latest of Europe's giant clubs to announce a behind-the-scenes TV show with a media partner. The club and US streaming service Verizon go90 have announced the launch of Inside Barça which will air weekly.
Barca's announcement follows hard on the heels of Facebook's eight-part docuseries, Hala Madrid, that started airing at the beginning of September in the US on its new Watch OTT streaming platform. Last week Juventus unveiled a fly-on-the-wall series with Italian champions Juventus that will debut on the streaming service in 2018.
Meanwhile Manchester City are partnering with US OTT broadcaster Amazon Prime for their own football docuseries, though there appear to be some rights issues with the Premier League and UK rights holder Sky Television.
Barca's partnership with Verizon go90 is focussed on delivering the programming for the US market and will chronicle the club's 2017-18 season in a weekly studio-based TV format and will feature a mixture of match reviews, previews, commentary, highlights, training ground footage, player reactions and factual entertainment, as well as other original content created by the club.
go90 is part of Verizon's media portfolio of video content and platforms, which includes AOL, HuffPost, Yahoo View, Yahoo Sports. The platform carries 25,000 hours of live sports.
Francesco Calvo, head of global business at Barcelona, said: "One year ago we opened our Americas office in New York City with the primary goal of bringing the club closer to its millions of fans here. Our partnership with Verizon means we'll be able to reach more Barça fans, and soccer fans, in the States than ever before – and importantly, on connected devices. Now our US fans will have a backstage, insiders pass to what it's like to be at Camp Nou for nearly every match. It's an incredible experience for them, and we're looking forward to kicking it off this season."
Emphasising the US focus of the programming deal, go90 chief content officer Ivana Kirkbride said: "go90 and Barça share a similar objective: support the growth of soccer fandom in the United States, by providing access and opportunity to fans like never before."

I woke Joel up on Friday morning to take my outfit pic for the day and promised it would be the last time I make him get out of bed to take a picture for me at 6:15 in the morning. So here you will find outfits 21- 27 from this week and 28, 29 and 30 for next week.
Last night I dreamt I was out shopping for clothes. I think my subconscious is ready for more clothes to choose from! I don't know if I am excited or not because having such limited options has made it a lot easier to get ready in the morning.
As soon as Joel shows me how to put all of the pictures next to each other I will do a recap of all of the photos together. I hope you are having a great weekend!

By Mary age 9
At midnight Safiyer got to the, "Pit of Doom!" The was lava everywhere, pits of lave, explosive lava and lava bulbs. Then came the King and he had a lava colored amulet. Safiyers amulet had an ice power that shoots out water and ice.
The King and Safiyer used their amulets to fight each other. The King shot out lava, yelling "Lava Blast aaahhhh POW!"
Safiyer used her amulet yelling, "Ice Water Sonic blast atom POW!"
Safiyer said, "I will defeat you!" and the King said, "not yet lava shield.
They fought for a long time.
Safiyer was controlled and gave the King the amulet. She was now his slave forever.
Years later she said to the guard, "I need to see the King."
Safiyer was ready to challenge him again.
They fought and this time she won. Pow, ice blasts, clunk-clunk, the King was defeated.
The King said, "you have won, I will be nice to the slaves from now on and you can keep your amulet."
"That's what I like to hear," said Safiyer
The amulet said, "well-done you have made peace and balance to this galaxy, there is an alien spaceship you must stop it!"
"Oh boy!" said Safiyer

GoldLink // Masego
If someone told you that there was a rapper on the map that made music equating to, "Montell Jordan's 'This Is How We Do It' on crack", you'd crank your levels and press play. This is exactly how D.C. native Goldlink self-describes his future bounce sound to the world. Already making strides as a production heavyweight, Goldlink has had collaborations with some major leading names like Kaytranada and Rick Rubin. Goldlink's newest release At What Cost has already flooded into club speakers and radio waves alike with some super fun features from leading names in dance and hip-hop like Wale, Jazmine Sullivan, and Ciscero. But hey, if you're someone who doesn't want to hear the likes of Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" on crack, then yikes, this review isn't for you—but I hear Pitchfork just tore apart Miley Cyrus's new record, so enjoy checking out that garbage fire instead!
Goldlink's visit to Seattle was not without anticipation; sold out and packed full, the Showbox was buzzing last Thursday night as wrists were stamped and drinks were poured all in celebration of the party to come. In typical Showbox style, the venue's red glowing light poured onto the floor and out the front doors as the masses filed in and faced the decorated stage. Lined on both sides with greenery—trees, shrubs and what seemed like general public-park nature elements, the stage imitated a large-scale loading dock with a backdrop that blended organically behind the plants. The scene felt like a block party—free and unconfined, a hard vibe to pull off in a giant room designed for sweat absorption and general noise confinement. A myriad of characters came to dance: bros, babes, that guy that lived with your brother that had the basement to himself and no one really asked about it, and Sporty Spice circa '97—all ready to bounce with the best of 'em when the show began.
The lights came down and the self-defined "trap house jazz" musician Masego jumped on stage opening the show with "Shut Up and Groove" a track off his new EP Pink Polo. The rapper surprised everyone when he whipped out his beloved saxophone and played along to his varied dance tracks throughout the show, often shouting, "I love jazz!"—a little too on the nose for me, but hey, the guy was entertaining as hell. It was only after his set ended when he reappeared to sing on the hook of his and Goldlink's collab "Late Night" that I realized that the impressive chain hanging around his neck was in fact, a diamond crested saxophone—the man likes what he likes. After a short and wild set, Masego exited the stage and was immediately replaced with the silhouette that everyone in the crowd recognized: the headliner Seattle flocked to see.
Suddenly the room was infectiously flooded with bass and the opening synths of "Fall In Love" crashed into crowd. The floor flexed as 100 patrons bounced to the rhythm and threw arms up in excitement. The rest was a blur. Goldlink threwa show that was both striking and seamless, thrilling and tense, lucid and loose. The headliner made sure to feature all the hits everyone roared for: "Crew", Herside Story", "Summatime", and "Meditation" were all fan favorites from the new record that were a blast to experience live. Blessing the long-time fans with some golden oldies, Goldlink mixed in both "Spectrum" and "Palm Trees" off of is debut album And After That, We Didn't Talk from 2015. The entire performance was pure, unadulterated, fun. Goldlink gave us all a break from reality, a few hours to forget our troubles, distract from our stresses, and simply, get rowdy.

We went out to see and found there were two other ballons landing the "field" or what's left of it behind our house. The one I orginally saw landed a few blocks away. It was very cool.

Q: We are having a party for my kid's birthday and she wants it with a bounce house and other outside attractions in our backyard. I am concerned with my liability if someone gets injured at the party. What are my rights? – Amanda
A: You are rightfully concerned about this because you may be sued if someone gets injured on your property. The suit will likely accuse you of being negligent in your duties to keep your property safe.
You, as the homeowner and the party-giver, have the responsibility to act in a reasonably prudent way, considering the circumstances. This means that if a child is hurt as a pure accident not caused by negligence, you should be clear of any liability for the injuries.
Attractions like bounce houses and trampolines have some inherent danger, so you should carefully manage the children and restrict how many play at one time. Also, ensure the attraction is properly set up and secured to the ground. Read and follow the warnings from the manufacturer and rent from a reputable dealer to make sure the equipment is properly cared for.
Even if you are very careful, but a child is still injured, you will likely be sued. While there is a big difference between just being sued and losing a lawsuit, either can be expensive.
Check your homeowner's insurance for this type of coverage and consider purchasing an umbrella policy for additional, inexpensive, coverage. Speak to your agent if you are unsure about what your policy covers.
It is also important that you do not let your concern about being sued stop you from enjoying your life and property. There are millions of incident-free backyard parties every year. While it is great that you are aware of the potential issue, use this concern to take reasonable precautions for the safety of your guests and make it a great, and safe, party for your little one.

Travel advice for those with multiple sclerosis.
I have always had the travel bug, and I've been to a myriad of countries and cities around the world. From far-away foreign cities to exotic beach locales, I find great pleasure in refining my cultural literacy.
That refinement took a back seat after my diagnosis and subsequent progression of MS. Having said that, I write this while in Lake Tahoe. I still strive for and enjoy my getaways; they just look different than they did prior to my diagnosis.
Yielding to our disease is inevitable and somewhat unavoidable, but it will never stop me from doing what I can. For as long as I can remember Machu Picchu was a "bucket list" destination — the hike, the Incan ruins and the exploration of Cusco. While hiking up steep terrain is an impossibility, it does not mean I need to throw away my bucket.
I mourned this unexpected caveat in my life, yet soon discovered a myriad of new possibilities in which to create a different bucket list. Accepting and embracing my limitations was oddly freeing, as only then could I move forward. Only then, could I focus and realize those things that I could do.

I am finally realizing that I'm not allowed to leave my job any earlier than closing time unless I'm working the day shift.
10 thoughts on "Why do I even bother?"
A double tomorrow? That sucks. I'll be sending lots of good thoughts your way while you're on your double.
Just curious:
You hate your job. You seem to be a competent waiter. Are there no other Waiter jobs in your city? Your blood pressure must be through the roof. You shouldn't put yourself through all that. Find another job and "enjoy" going to work.
Just my $.02
I have a similar problem. I am the only woman who doesn't have children so all the others assume that I have no life and that I should close every shift. I have told the boss that I feel that this is discrimination but he's the type that just hears you out, nods his head and does nothing. So now I just plan to close every shift and if I get off earlier, it's a gift. What really bothered me about your post was the fact that on employee free day your co-workers trash the place and don't tip or tip badly. That is so disrespectful to you and your restaurant. Your GM needs to have a meeting about this. Whenever employees get discounts or freebies they should tip fat and leave the place as they found it. That is usually a company policy. I'm sure that the corporate office would be really angry to hear about this abuse of the servers and their store.
My advice is upgrade your work environment. Get away from the ghetto/red neck attractants. Bowling and games my god the only way it could be worse is if you had go carts too!!
Personally I would recommend as nice a steak house as you can get to hire you. The menu is simple and it has a defined pace to the dining experience given steak cook times. People willing to spend $25-40 for a piece of meat KNOW how to tip. The good places arent even open for lunch. Lets here it for no DOUBLES!
This means you will have to quickly determine who you can be your Ribeye self and those that prefer silent unobstrusive service. Plus to get good sales numbers you will need to get down the wine list.
I think in the last steakhouse I worked for 18 months I was stiffed one time due to a complete FUBAR on the kitchen side of things.
Yes you will get loads of self entitlement junkies galore but these guys have money to burn. Consider this four top in your place with a 10% tip not sure what your per person average is. Versus a place where $50 per person(lowish for steak) on a four top for $200. If they only tipped 10% you made $20. Thats more than your ghetto table that refused a gratuity.
Just my 2 cents and hang in there on the ghetto Easter by some miracle I didnt get scheduled a double.
I think you're right. We make our children's baskets and have a family dinner at home to celebrate. I couldn't imagine trying to contain children after an easter egg hunt in a restaurant. =X
The longer you work in a job you hate the lower your self esteem becomes.
You are obviously an accomplished server, but the place you work in sounds awful, do yourself a favour, find somewhere else, and as Ray says, start enjoying your job. x
Haha! Food industry does suck my friend. Oh yea, for all you people who tell someone to change jobs when they work in a restaurant, that is like telling someone to change taxis in the middle of the trip. Takes longer to get where you want, and it was pointless to change. Most restaurants are the exact same, you have your bitches and dicks, bad managers and trashy client
Ribeye, you should come down to Texas. We only get old people and hicks where I work, and although they suck most of the time, they are nowhere near as bad as the customers you deal with. And the hicks are usually farm hands who are at least polite.
I honestly don't know how you put up with these customers and co-workers. You deserve better.
I'm appalled that the staff in your restaurant trashes the place and tips poorly when they come in for employee night. Assuming they get a discount, they should tip you on what the bill would have been! I worked for Red Lobster (where I learned all about the dining "etiquette" of ghetto trash), and the only staff that left poor tips after receiving discounts were usually hosts/hostesses (i.e. teenagers), and non-English speaking BOH guys. Ribeye, I don't know how you do it. I only lasted about 8 months, and RL closes at 10 pm most nights.
Though your unhappiness provides me with endless hours of entertainment (sorry), I will be very happy when you leave that trashy place for the greener pastures and tip income you so clearly deserve. I'm sure you'll find plenty to blog about regardless. Entitle-itis effects people at all socioeconomic levels.
it's not easy big fella…….just not easy….

It is my spoke wheel flower scarf. I have only twelve more circles to produce to make it long enough. Although every time I think it is long enough I wrap it around my my neck and think I should go a few more. I was at swimming training the other night sewing in all the loose ends on the scarf and decided to wind it up upon completion (instead of the normal toss it into the bag) and I suddenly had a lovely looking cabbage in my hand - I had to take a picture of course.
And this is the baby quilt so far

Howling Mob Society
series of ten historical markers, website w/interactive map
"The sixth and seventh days of the revolution, July 21 and 22, were the darkest and bloodiest of all. The city of Pittsburgh was completely controlled by a howling mob, whose deeds of violence were written in fire and blood."
- Harper's Weekly, August 11, 1877
I spent the majority of 2008 working with a collaborative team from variant backgrounds, which eventually identified itself as the Howling Mob Society, on a series of ten historical markers detailing the story of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 as it unfolded in Pittsburgh, PA. We applied our research towards a public, pedestrian-level documentation which details the economic and social experiences that led to the national uprising. Our goal was to teach both the specific events of the summer of 1877 and the larger implications of a popular, working class rebellion combined with a general, cross-industrial strike. After a year of research and collaborative writing, I fabricated the ten historical markers and we installed them on the streets of Pittsburgh.
We created a website to document the project, where visitors can read the text on each sign, use an interactive map of our marker locations with additional pins to event locations, and review our research bibliography.
In 2008 the Howling Mob received an Acknowledgment Award from the Pittsburgh Creativity Project (Studio for Creative Inquiry, Carnegie Mellon University). I've presented this project to audiences at the Allied Media Conference (2008), the Visible Memories Conference (2008) the Working Class Studies Association Conference (2009), and the National Preservation Conference (2013), among other engagements. In 2012, documentation of this project was part of the U.S. Pavilion at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia, Italy.
As of November, 2018, five of the ten historical markers remain in place.

Ok so.....I'm struggling. I've fallen off the wagon again. I'm having a hard time doing this by myself, especially when the stress of school is piled on. However, I'm moving to Florida and the last thing I want is to look like a fat American tourist. I want to take my dog on runs in our neighborhood, and I want shopping to be a fun thing again. Crying in the dressing room is not as glamorous as you might imagine.
So I am seriously contemplating trying the p90X system. There are things I like about it...they aren't saying it's easy. They aren't selling special equipment or shakes and bars. There are things that I don't like....it looks wicked hard! Wait I think that's the point.
Anyone familiar with it? Advice?
I've seen some amazing youtube videos about people's weight loss and it makes me hopeful.

The Second Revolution
Ken Onstot
Scriptures: John 12:20-33, Mark 8:34-35
There have been two great revolutions in the history of the
world. I'm not talking here about the American Revolution or the French Revolution or the Industrial Revolution. I am talking about something bigger. The first great revolution in the history of the world took place about 12,000 years ago. Up to that time human beings lived by hunting and gathering. They ate nuts, berries, wild seeds, roots, and whatever meat they could catch or kill. But sometime around 12,000 year ago someone came up with a novel idea. I picture it coming from a couple of prehistoric teenagers-early Neolithic geeks. One day they come home from gathering seeds and their father says to him, "Well, how did it go today?"
They say, "Fine." (I don't imagine prehistoric teenagers
communicating any better than modern ones.)
The father says, "Well, how much did you collect?"
One of them says, "I don't know. Maybe a basket full."
"Great," the father says, "Where is it?"
They hesitate, and then one of them says, "Well, we took out all the
seeds and we buried them."
The father says, "You did what?"
The other teenager says, "We took the seeds and we carefully stuck
them in the ground in rows near our house. You see, Dad, we figured that if we bury the seeds in the ground near our house, then by next summer each of them will grow into a new plant that produces even more seeds. And then we won't have to go all over the place looking for seeds, they will be growing right in our backyard."
At that point the father stares at them. He says, "Are you telling me
that you took our dinner-some perfectly good wild seeds-seeds that could have been ground into flour, baked into bread and used to feed this family for an entire week-you took those seeds that you spent all day gathering and you buried them in the ground? Are you crazy?"
Until 12,000 years ago, no one dreamed of wasting perfectly
good seeds of grain or kernels of corn by burying them in the ground. It never occurred to anyone that you might get more grain or more corn or at least more easily accessible grain and corn by giving it up. That was the first great revolution in the history of the world, what paleontologists call the Neolithic or agricultural revolution.
The second great revolution happened about 10,000 years
later. It started with a man whose political career seemed headed for the top. Crowds of people came from everywhere to hear him speak. The day he rode into the capital cheering throngs hailed him as king. Even his enemies said, "The world has gone after him," and sure enough, as if on cue, some Greeks come to one of his followers asking for an appointment. But in less than a week he was dead, not because of an assassination plot or terrorist conspiracy, but because he consciously and voluntarily surrendered himself to be executed by his enemies.
General George Patton once said, "No one wins a war by dying
for his country. You win a war by making the other poor dumb guy die for his country." That is not an exact quote, but you get the idea. Civilization had operated on that principle for 10,000 years. Then along comes this preacher, a carpenter from Nazareth, and he tells people, "Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
Jesus is talking here, of course, about his approaching
death. We are told back in John chapter 11 that there is a plot to kill him. At the beginning of chapter 12, a woman anoints him with expensive nard, and Jesus praises her for preparing his body for burial. Then in verse 23 Jesus says, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified," and we know from reading John's gospel that this "hour" Jesus keeps talking about is the hour of his death. So when Jesus talks about a grain of wheat falling into the earth and dying, we know he is talking about himself.
But in the process his death will bear much fruit. And that
is what Jesus means when he says, "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." Jesus' death will be the pathway to life for people of all races and languages and nations, even those Greeks who are asking to see him.
This is the second great revolution in the history of the
world. It is not an agricultural revolution; it is a spiritual revolution. It is the startling and quite revolutionary idea that Jesus gives life by dying.
But here is the thing: Jesus is not talking only about himself. He is
also talking about us. In the next verse he says, "Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life."
Jesus is not saying here that you should literally hate your life.
Your life is a precious gift given to you by God. But he is saying that if you live only for yourself, if you live only for what you can get out of life, only for what will give you satisfaction and pleasure, then when your life is over, that's it. There is nothing left. You are a seed that is consumed and disappears.
But if you give your life away, Jesus says, if you plant yourself in
the ground of God's grace, if you put your life, your skills, your time, your resources, even your hopes and dreams into the hands of the God who created, then you will produce an abundant harvest. You will touch many lives, and the impact of your life, the meaning of your life, the existence and joy of your life will go on forever. That is the second revolution.
This week I did a search on Amazon for books with the words
"self-fulfillment" in the title. I got 58,753 hits! There are nearly 60,000 books on Amazon about self-fulfillment. They include title like The Great Heart Way: How to Heal Your Life and Find Self-Fulfillment, or Freedom from Self-Sabotage: The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Success and Self-Fulfillment. There is even the Cliff Notes version: Self-Fulfillment in Ten Pages or Less, which interestingly shows an uncorked champagne bottle on the cover, perhaps explaining why it only needs ten pages.
From reading the synopsis of these books I don't think any of them
talk about a seed falling to the earth and dying. But Jesus does. In our first scripture reading from Mark 8, Jesus says, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it."
Jesus is not telling us to be careless with our lives. But he is
offering the revolutionary idea that we find our lives by giving them away, that we find our purpose and fulfillment in life by losing ourselves in the purposes and love of Someone greater than ourselves.
At the Seattle Presbytery meeting on Tuesday the Presbytery received a
candidate for ministry named Rob Mathis. Rob has an interesting story. For 28 years he was a law enforcement officer in King County. But when he retired, he and his wife decided to move to a rural area of South Africa to work with poor migrants and their families. Their served their almost a year. In his candidacy essay he writes,
During that time we forged incredible relationships with some of the poorest of the poor, started a small preschool in the slum where we worked, developed a small Bible School, provided oversight for a spiritually intimate, multi-cultural home church, built the infrastructure for a neighborhood soup kitchen, helped refurbish an old folks home under our care and generally had the time of our lives spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. That year we felt like we had "died and gone to heaven."
I was struck by that last statement. "We felt like we had
died and gone to heaven." That is not a bad paraphrase of Jesus' words in Mark chapter 8: "Those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it." The irony of self-fulfillment is that we do not find fulfillment in what we do for ourselves. We find fulfillment in losing ourselves in the mission and purpose and love of the One who created us.
Which does not mean you must become a missionary. Rob and
his wife had been planning to stay in South Africa 3-5 years. But one day they got an emergency phone call from Seattle. Their 20 year-old daughter was gravely ill with what turned out to be Guillain Barre Syndrome, a disease that had virtually paralyzed her nervous system. They flew home and spent the next 21 months taking care of their daughter in shifts almost around the clock as she clung to life with a tracheotomy, feeding tubes, and numerous medications. Suddenly their mission in life became different than they had imagined it to be. But no less life-giving. Rob told the Presbytery that in the darkest times of their daughter's illness, when they spent the night more than once wondering if she would survive until morning, on those occasions they discovered they could let go and fall into the hands of God. That's how Rob described it. They learned almost literally what it meant to fall to the ground and die, only to be lifted up and to see their lives as part of God's larger work, more mysterious and complicated and blessed than they ever would have imagined.
That is the second revolution: when you experience your life caught up
in God, and you discover that God can do more with you than you ever would have imagined.

Nobody just walks into a store or restaurant anymore. Before wasting time checking out a new place, today's savvy customers Google it, look for reviews and ask friends for recommendations. It's the new way to shop.
Guess what?
That consumer mindset is trickling into the healthcare industry as well. Patients today are more connected and informed than ever, and they're making decisions about healthcare providers based on the experiences of others. One of the most common ways they research your healthcare facility is by trolling review sites and social media. When patients leave reviews and comments about their experience with a doctor or healthcare facility, you can bet those reviews will factor into the opinions others form about your practice.
But does it really matter what a disgruntled patient said about you? Shouldn't your reputation be built on your skill and experience? Maybe. But the truth is that your patients will see those reviews, and they will make a difference. If you want a say in how people perceive you, then you have to take proactive steps to manage your online reputation.
There's even a name for it. It's called reputation marketing.
3 Keys to Reputation Marketing for Healthcare Providers
The internet may not always be the most reliable source of health information, but it is one of the most common. Almost three-quarters of internet users search for health information online. Here are three keys to making sure they really know what to expect from your practice.
1. Know What Your Patients Say About You
When your prospective patients need to choose a new healthcare provider, they probably won't call you up and talk to you in person right away. Instead, they'll go online and read reviews. Here are some of the places they are likely to look:
- ZocDoc
- HealthGrove
- HeathGrades.com
- RateMDs
- Vitals
- Angie's List
- Yelp
Notice that some of these resources are specific to the healthcare industry, while others cater to a broad range of users. Patients may leave a brief review about how friendly the staff and doctors were, or they may delve into wait times, parking availability, cleanliness and setup of the facility, bedside manner or the specifics of how they were treated by a particular doctor.
Reading these reviews will give you a clear picture of what patients like about your practice and what may drive them away. And sometimes, the negative reviews can be more helpful than the positive ones, so don't discount them.
2. Take Control Of Your Presence On Review Sites
Since reviews have the potential to clinch patient decisions about your healthcare practice, you need to steer the conversation in the right direction wherever possible. Here's how to get started:
- Claim your provider profile. Sites like Yelp allow you to claim your profile so you can make sure contact information, location and hours are up to date. Once you have claimed your page, encourage patients to leave reviews by posting a sign in your waiting area or promoting on social media.
- Audit your online review presence. Check each of the review sites we listed above and make sure your contact information and address are correct.
- Stay informed. Take time to read through the reviews and see what people have to say about your practice. What do they love? What do they hate? Why would someone not return?
3. Manage Your Online Presence Intentionally
Take control of your online reputation by responding to feedback—even negative feedback. If someone has a bad experience, take time to address their concerns and answer their questions. It may be a misunderstanding or there may be a genuine issue with how the patient's circumstances were handled. Whatever the case, showing that you care may give you the opportunity to earn that person's trust again.
You should also consider designating a staff member as the reputation manager for your practice. This individual is responsible for finding and responding to feedback, answering questions and dealing with customer service concerns.
Why Reputation Marketing Matters for Healthcare
It's easy to dismiss reviews as a tiny percentage of what's being said about you online. But the truth is that people tend to trust what others say about you more than they trust what you say about yourself on your blog, social profiles, or website. Negative reviews can hurt your practice. When you invest the effort to address problems and respond to reviews, your patients see that you truly care about delivering a top notch patient experience.
And that's worth the effort.
Your patient experience matters—both on your website and around the web. If you need help designing a patient-friendly website or social media strategy, our healthcare marketing consultants are standing by. Call us today for your free consultation!

110 Nature Hot Spots in Ontario
This updated edition is a lively, informative introduction to some of the province's best-kept secrets. For birders, botanists, wildlife lovers, rock hounds and naturalists, it's also a fresh look at destinations that have made Ontario famous.
More than 85 per cent of Ontarians live in urban and suburban communities, most of them clustered along the shores of the Great Lakes. City living has lots to recommend it, but for many of us, the call of the great outdoors is hard to resist. As it turns out, nature is much closer than we think. In 110 Nature Hot Spots in Ontario, readers discover that a short drive is often all it takes to be in the midst of forests, streams and birdsong. Many of the destinations in this remarkable guide are on the outskirts of major cities and towns and are easy day trips. Some are perfect weekend getaways, while others are appealing enough to plan entire holidays around.
Hike in old-growth forests, visit the shorelines of ancient seas, and see first-hand the uncommon flora and fauna that flourish in Ontario's richly diverse habitats. From it soaring cliff tops, subterrranean caves and thundering cataracts to the province's tallest white pine, the oldest rocks on Earth and the warbler capital of North America. Ontario is a treasure trove of natural bounty.

Barcelona, Spain City Guide
We took you to London and we took you to Paris but as promised, the tour-de-Europe continues. Honestly, Spain wasn't really high on my list because I didn't know much about it. To catch you up, Kat and I spent a week with Joanna in London and Paris but we still had tons of Europe left to see! We were meeting up with my mom and her good friend (our Fairy Godmother) in Barcelona so that we could board a Mediterranean-bound cruise. If the cruise hadn't been leaving from Barcelona, I don't know if I would have stopped in Spain but I'm so glad we did! The food might have been my favorite over any other stop in Europe. If you're headed to the city of tapas, bullfighting, and siestas, then this post is just what you need!
Kat and I took an overnight train from Paris to Barcelona. We took the Elipsos "hotel train" and even though the room was small, it was actually quite convenient to go to bed in France and wake up in Spain!
Las Ramblas | Yes, SO touristy but how often are you in Barcelona? This beautiful outdoor promenade is lined with cafes, local artists, trendy boutiques, souvenir shops, and fruit stands. I'll be honest with you, avoid eating at the restaurants on this street. They are tourist traps and nothing special at all but strolling down this tree-lined street is a must-see.
TIP: Pickpocketing in this area is out of control. I literally didn't take my hands off my crossbody and I'd recommend you do the same.
La Sagrada Familia | This is a large Roman Catholic church which is designed by famous architect Anton Gaudi. I'll never be able to fully describe the magnitude of this structure and my pictures won't do it justice. To help give you an idea of the complexity and size, building commenced in 1882 and the anticipated completion date is 2026. Y'all that's almost 150 years. Do check out the gift shop at the end. We bought the most unique mugs and vases that were designed to look like Gaudi's work.
TIP: The line to get tickets was approximately 4 HOURS long and wrapped around the block twice. I did some quick thinking and pulled up their website on my phone and bought tickets. We were able to get out of line and walk straight to the front. If this is a stop on your trip, buy your tickets in advance!
Barcelona City Tour | This was a double-decker tour bus so again, I know it is so touristy, but we basically used this as our method of transportation for 2 days. We could hop off at the stops we were interested in, stay as long as we like, then hop on board the next bus that came around. We were able to pop in our headphones and hear about the landmarks we drove past.
Gaudi Architecture | You HAVE to check out the unique and fascinating work of Anton Gaudi. You know those drip castles you make at the beach using really wet sand? Some of his work reminds me of that. I've never seen anything like it. You can find almost everything on the Barcelona City Tour mentioned above including La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and La Pedrera.
Picasso Museum | Pablo Picasso spent many of his key years in Barcelona so you can't miss the Museu Picasso that houses much of his work.
Bar Lobo | Hands-down the best meal we ate not only in Spain, but maybe all of Europe! We liked it so much we went back after we got off the boat at the end of our trip. Located a block off of Las Ramblas, this tapas restaurant will not disappoint. ORDER: Patatas Bravas, Guacamole, Chicken Fajitas, and Lemon Pie. After eating, be sure to roam around the small boutiques in this area. I'll never be able to remember the names but we found the motherload of souvenirs in this area!
7 Portes | THE BEST paella and sangria. Need I say more? Just make sure you have a reservation. ORDER: Rich Man's Paella (chicken, pork, sausage, lobster, and prawns) and red wine sangria.
Hotel 1898 | I still daydream about this hotel. It's my most favorite hotel stay of all time! It's centrally located right on Las Ramblas AND right around the corner from Bar Lobo. There are a million reasons why this hotel is rated #12 out of 500 hotels in Barcelona on TripAdvisor. The rooms were incredible, the decor was exquisite, and the lobby smelled like heaven. We splurged on a deluxe room with a private terrace and loved every second of it. Nothing makes you feel more luxurious than having breakfast or napping on your private terrace in Spain! The rooftop is one of the highlights of this hotel. With panoramic views, a rooftop pool, and bar, you really can't go wrong with 1898.
Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to check out my favorite travel apps before jumping the pond. If we all lived in Barcelona we could take an afternoon siesta on this rainy Monday. Hasta la vista…

It has long been argued, particularly by conservatives, that there is a liberal bias in the mass media. On the other hand, progressives and liberals counter that conservative media has its own bias and that conservative media spends most of its time trying to invoke fear and division in the general public. With these two points of view in mind, please respond to the following question.
(1) How is the media, biased, more towards progressive-liberal values, conservative values or in both directions depending on the specific media outlets you may access? Explain your response.
(2) Find two or more examples of media bias (video clip, article, images) and attach to your Dropbox submission. Explain in detail how these example/s represent media bias and the impact that it has on public opinion. As part of your research and examination of media bias include recent polling data results showing the public's confidence in the objectivity or fairness of the media. Provide an Internet citation for each polling source discussed.

text: I started this project at the beginning of the new year in an attempt to spark some creative juices. Based off of Sherri Lynn Woods idea of sewing a small improv piece each day as a challenge to keep coming back to the sewing machine and to do something creative that required little thinking and used up some scraps laying around. It worked! I really enjoyed this process and each evening after a days work I would at least sew for a few minutes, what ended up being at times an evening at the machine. Here's what came of this project. Like the title of this says...I didn't make it to 100 days, but I'm okay with that. It produced some fun pieces that I have since made into one quilt top and am in the process of working through another that I hope to enter into the Quiltcon show this coming year. If you're feeling a little stuck in your process, or need a boost in your creative life, I totally recommend trying this for awhile and see if it doesn't spark something inside. I truly believe creativity comes from doing not from worrying or thinking about it not being a good enough idea. Just do and the creative part will awaken, it sometimes just needs to be reminded it's there down deep inside you.

Investigators said a former Statesville officer has been on the run for weeks after lying to police.
They said he filed a false police report by claiming someone stole his unmarked police car.
Search warrants in the case said Christopher Rivera, a former Statesville police officer, claimed someone hit him in the face outside his apartment and stole his police car. Seven hours later, it was found wrecked about 5 miles away.
On New Year's Eve, shortly after midnight, police said they got the call about a possible assault and robbery at the Glenwood Place Apartments in Hickory.
According to court documents, officers said Rivera appeared intoxicated and there was mud on his boots. The officer's wife also had mud on her clothing.
Rivera claimed someone struck him and stole his unmarked police car. That car was found later wrecked and abandoned. Police said the ground was muddy, where they also found bootprints.
"As soon as Statesville Police Department found about the charges in Hickory, we put him on administrative leave and began our investigation," Statesville Police Chief David Addison said.
Addison said his department has an ongoing internal investigation into the case.
A search warrant said police found Rivera's police-issued equipment in the trunk of his wife's car. The gear was muddy, consistent with what they found at the crash scene.
Neighbors told Channel 9 police in Hickory have shown up at Rivera's apartment for weeks after taking out warrants for filing a false police report. So far, they have not made an arrest.

Thompson Immigration Law Associates is a global business immigration law firm located in Bellevue, Washington. Thompson Immigration handles all immigration needs experienced by corporations and professionals for both the United States and other countries around the world.
Thompson Immigration is owned and led by P. Robert Thompson. Mr. Thompson is a seasoned attorney with 20 years' experience as both a trial lawyer and a global business immigration attorney with experience with over 30 countries.
Thompson Immigration was established in 2002, when most employment-based immigration law firms worked for IT consulting companies. in the middle of the 2002 IT "market adjustment" when many immigration law firms were downsizing or going out of business, Thompson Immigration was able to maintain and expand its practice. This is because of Mr. Thompson's entrepreneurial spirit and his ability to think "outside the box". This ability is best demonstrated by the fact that Thompson Immigration utilizes visa categories that are not commonly used by many other immigration lawyers. This same spirit has kept Thompson Immigration successful during the current "economic readjustment".
Firm Objectives
Immigration law is 50% law and 50% human nature.
Immigration matters must be presented in a
manner that is persuasive, yet easily understood by the
immigration or border officer who is reviewing the application.
If an immigration officer cannot understand an application,
he or she will be inclined to deny the application.
Services Provided
Client Summary
Thompson Immigration has specialized its practice in one field of immigration law; namely, employment-based immigration law. This fact is a critical distinction for clients who are seeking immigration counsel. The reason is that very few immigration law firms specialize in employment-based immigration.
U.S. immigration law is a complex and ever-changing field of law. Indeed, many of the regulatory policies enacted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and other immigration agencies are not promulgated through a formal rule making process, but rather through policy memos that are not published. By limiting its range of practice, Thompson Immigration can assure its clients that it is knowledgeable about every new issue arising in this complex field of law.
Use of Cutting Edge Technology
Thompson Immigration has always used cutting edge technology in its practice, and continues to "push the envelope" in this area. Thompson Immigration was one of the first law firms in the United States to effectively use the Internet as a marketing platform. Other examples of how Thompson Immigration is using cutting edge technology include the following:

Mr. Thompson received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland in 1982. After working in the chemical industry for three years, Mr. Thompson attended law school at the George Washington National Law Center, in Washington, D.C.

A 12 meter manually folding boom comes as standard and can be upgraded to a hydraulic folding system if required. <<<VIEW BROCHURE>>>
Mounting Options - TMA4 is a versatile piece of equipment. It can be mounted on the front or rear of a tractor, fitted to a drill or set of rolls, or pulled by an ATV on a purpose built trailer with its own engine to power the fan. This versatility gives growers a variety of different ways to apply product, ensuring application is in a timely and efficient manner.
Individual Metering - Like all Horstine applicators, the TMA4 uses individual rotors to feed each distribution outlet, guaranteeing application accuracy. Each outlet applies product over a 1.5 meter width, with the spread pattern kept consistent thanks to rigid bends before each outlet. The outer sections of the boom can be rotated whilst folded to prevent damage to the rigid bends during transport.
Electric Metering & Pneumatic Fan - A high capacity hydraulically driven pneumatic fan is fitted to the 3 point linkage mounted TMA4, requiring a 30 l/min hydraulic supply. The two four outlet metering systems are driven by a single high torque electric motor, which is controlled by an automatic rate controller, removing the requirement for a land wheel drive. The trailed TMA4 utilises a 6.5hp petrol engine to drive the pneumatic fan, in place of the hydraulic motor.
Rate Controller - The Horstine Wizard application controller is used to precisely adjust metering rotation speed to compensate for changes in forward speed, ensuring the applicator is always putting on the correct amount. There are three options of speed sensor, ISO cable, GPS and radar, with growers also having the option of fitting a hopper low level sensor.
For fitment to
- Three point linkage
- Optional trailer for ATVs
- Rolls/Drills

Connecting the Solar Industry in Ireland.
As the solar industry in Ireland begins to establish itself, 2017 will be a watershed year with the announcement of the new support mechanism for renewable energy. As the last EU Member State to provide a support for solar PV, the Irish market is widely expected to be a robust and sustainable market. As the cheapest form of renewable generation after on-shore wind in Ireland, solar will play an important role in Ireland's low carbon energy future. ISEA is committed to promoting the deployment of solar in a sustainable manner that delivers real value to the consumer and creates economic, environmental and social benefits to Ireland.
Solar Ireland 2017 will play host to key stakeholders in the Irish and international solar industry. The agenda will include sessions on; project development, utility scale solar, roof-top solar, policy support and implementation, best practice in planning, solar and community, solar and farming, grid connection, and financing solar amongst others. With an expected 250 delegates, 32 speakers, 7 panel sessions, and 15 exhibitors, Solar Ireland 2017 will be a master class in succeeding in solar on the island. This is the annual 'go-to' event for the solar industry in Ireland.

Ceramic Braces are clear braces used in place of traditional metal braces as they are less visible than the metal ones. They are tooth coloured which will help them to blend in with the tooth and provide a perfect look. They are attractive with a translucent appearance which helps you smile with self-confidence. You will not face any sort of hesitation to put up a clear smile with the ceramic braces fitted perfectly on your teeth.
The patients suffering from the following dental problems are recommended with ceramic braces:
On the first day of your appointment, you will be diagnosed for any dental problems following which your tooth will be cleaned and the ceramic braces will be fitted to the top and bottom of your teeth without any pain or irritation. The best-suited wire will be used as per your teeth colour so that it doesn't affect the beauty of your face. The wire is pre-refrigerated and when it is put on, it gets stiffened by the heat of the mouth. Metal brackets are fitted on the top and bottom molars which are barely visible when you talk or smile.
The above process takes an hour or two at the maximum. You will be then scheduled with the next appointment which is generally after a month's time. On the next appointment, the translucent wire will be replaced by a new one. You will be advised to have regular checkups before the removal of the ceramic braces.
Even though ceramic braces are strong and durable, you need to take proper care of these attractive wires to preserve them for a longer period. You are advised to follow the below mentioned caring tips:
On your first consultation session, your dentist will discuss the exact cost of the kind of ceramic braces chosen for you. Ceramic Braces are a bit expensive but the expense is worth investing for a beautiful and perfect smile.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — There was good news and bad news for China in its quest to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
China kept its hopes alive Thursday night with a 4-0 victory over Maldives in the second Asian qualification round for the Cup to finally move above Hong Kong into second place in Group C with a crucial game coming in Xi'an, China, Tuesday against Qatar, the group leader.
But the bad news is that even a win over Qatar may not be enough to prevent China from crashing out of qualification at the penultimate stage for the fourth successive time. The country will have to get help from others to have a chance.
Chinese soccer fans are accustomed to their team's letting them down when the pressure is on. But the result Thursday in Wuhan was never in doubt from the second minute after Jiang Ning headed in Wu Lei's cross for his first international goal in seven years. The striker completed a hat-trick with two late goals. Yang Xu scored in the 12th minute.
This was the first game back in charge for interim coach Gao Hongbo, who was appointed for a second stint in February to replace the Frenchman Alain Perrin, who was fired in January after indifferent results.
"We did the minimum of what we had to do and merely passed the test tonight," Gao told reporters after the game. "We had 40 shots, but only scored four goals. Of course, I am satisfied, but it's not like we were playing against a strong team, and we still have more work to do."
The desperation to score more goals was clear. Defeating Maldives, No.158 on FIFA's world rankings, 62 places below China, is only a first step.
"I am proud to score a hat-trick for my country," said Jiang after the game. "We should have scored more, as goal difference could prove to be crucial and our goal difference is not high. We now need to focus on the next game with Qatar."
Asia has four automatic slots at the World Cup. Of the 40 Asian nations that started the second round of qualification, 12 will progress to the final round, the eight group winners and the four best runner-up teams.
Two goalless ties against Hong Kong, played in a politically charged atmosphere in which China hit the woodwork a total of eight times, mean China has no chance to overtake Qatar, which has won all seven of its games so far.
Anything less than a win in Xi'an will eliminate China, and the 2002 World Cup, with three defeats and no goals scored, would remain its only appearance on the world's biggest sporting stage.
If China can beat Qatar, which may lack motivation, it will look to results elsewhere to claim one of the four spots for runners-up. With one game remaining, China is sixth in the list of the eight second-placed teams.
In order for China to climb into the last four, two of the five teams above it have to slip up. Syria is already out of reach. North Korea, Iraq and United Arab Emirates are expected to get the results they need. Jordan offers the best bet and faces a tough trip to Sydney to face the Asian champion, Australia.
China is hoping that, as it did against Hong Kong, something unexpected happens. "We are not thinking about that," said Gao. "We now move forward to the Qatar game, and we will focus on that. We know what we have to do."
Elimination from the 2018 World Cup at a time when some continents have not even started qualifying rounds may be a familiar feeling for Chinese fans but would be especially painful this time.
The Chinese Super League has become the most talked about domestic tournament outside Europe thanks to some $300 million clubs recently spent on foreign stars like the Brazilians Alex Teixeira and Ramires and the Colombian Jackson Martínez.
Guangzhou Evergrande, under World Cup-winning managers Marcello Lippi in 2013 and Luiz Felipe Scolari in 2015, have lifted two out of the last three Asian Champions League trophies. At club level, China now competes with the best of Asia, but the national team may have to wait a little longer.
There is some pressure for China to produce results on the world stage. President Xi Jinping, himself a soccer fan, personally presided over a meeting last year aimed at restructuring the country's soccer infrastructure, and returning to the World Cup is clearly a goal he and the State Council, China's cabinet, want to see reached.
Coach Gao believes the time will come whatever happens on Tuesday. "The general picture of Chinese football is not bad, especially at club and grassroots levels," he told FIFA in March. "There is increasing investment by our clubs and as a result, more and more star-players have traveled across the globe to come to play in the Chinese League. Our clubs have won Asian championships and a growing number of talents have been produced. We should be optimistic."

Telenor reports successful results of Oslo NFC pilot
A survey of the 250 Oslo residents who participated in Telenor and DNB's NFC payments pilot last summer yielded overwhelming positive results, according to Telonor.
Launched in May 2011, the four month "Tap2Pay" pilot involved a select number of Oslo consumers using NFC-enabled Samsung phones to make MasterCard PayPass contactless payments at several retail stores throughout the city.
The results of the pilot are as follows:
84% said Tapy2Pay was easy to use, and enjoyed not having to enter a PIN code.
97% said that they want to use this type of service when it's launched.
Approximately half of all users experienced some technical issues during the trial, typically regarding software installation or lack of contact between the phone and the terminal. 86 percent of the people who sought technical support reported that they received adequate assistance.
The average test group user made a total of six purchases during the four month trial, resulting in a total average spending of 400 Norwegian kroner ($65) per person. Most of the transactions occurred at the convenience store Deli de Luca for beverages and other small items.
According to Telenor, merchants were largely positive about Tap2Pay as well. Most felt that the speed and simplicity of the service was convenient, as it gave them more time to pay attention to the customer instead of the transaction.
Security was once again the main point of concern for trial participants. According to Telenor, testers were concerned that if their phone was stolen, there would be no barriers to fraudulent use of the phone for payment, as there is no PIN code. However, most believed the addition of a pin code to be the answer to this concern.
Telenor is now aiming for a full rollout of NFC services in Oslo and surrounding areas in 2013, and foresees NFC as a viable option in many of its markets in the years to come. However, Erngard urged that Telenor and DNB, Norway's largest bank, can't do it alone.
