Robbers kidnap pastor, congregants
22 Apr 2017 at 10:54hrs | Views
Police in Marondera are hunting for four armed robbers, who stormed the Zaoga provincial headquarters and kidnapped a pastor and other church members before making off with more than $4 000 cash and cellphones after blowing off two safes.
The unknown suspects took resident pastor, Allias Jokota (31) of Zaoga City Assembly and his family hostage before ransacking the premises.
Efforts to get a comment from Mashonaland East Province acting police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Tendai Mwanza were fruitless yesterday.
According to information obtained by this paper, on April 18 at around 10pm, Jokota was in his house sleeping, when four unknown people forced open the door and gained entry.
Three of the suspects entered the house, while the other one remained at the door on guard.
It is reported that while inside, the suspects rounded up everyone, and tied their hands using neck ties and clothes.
They took two cellphones from the Jokotas.
It is said that after hearing the noise and cries from the pastor's house, Edmore Makause (36), a church caretaker, went to check.
Upon reaching the verandah, he met the three suspects, who were armed with empty beer bottles and iron bars.
The suspects then manhandled Makause and led him into the house, where everyone was and had his hands tied.
They then force-marched Jokota to the church secretary's office, where a safe with money was located, and forcefully gained entry into the office.
They reportedly used dynamite to blow the safe before taking $3 500 cash.
They also force-marched Jokota to the youth secretary's office, where they blew another safe and took $600.
They proceeded to Makause's house and took $60 and a phone.
They returned Jokota to his house and tied him again before ordering him to lie down on his stomach.
They then took the keys and locked the house from outside and went away with the keys.
Jokota and Makause managed to free themselves and got out through the window and made a report at Marondera Central Police Station.
The total value of cash and goods stolen is $4 350 and nothing was recovered.

I've just finished reading the book of Acts...again. I really wish Peter Jackson or someone would make an epic movie about this amazing book. It's full of suspense, peril, action, adventure, miracles... and the start and spread of the Church of Jesus Christ.
As I was reading the account of Paul encountering Christ on the road to Damascus, I was struck hard by the fact that Paul possessed such mind boggling confidence and courage because he proceeded in and received power from the Risen Christ, and not the Crucified Christ. Of course, Christ Crucified yields incredible power, but we are not to live there. Let me explain.
When we become believers, our old self is "crucified with Christ" (Galatians, 2:20). It dies a painful, humiliating death, and good riddance! But many of us proceed in this death. In other words, we focus on the crucifixion and not the resurrection. Don't do this, don't do that. Oh, I must put this sin to death or I'll be punished. We feel guilt, shame, and condemnation that has no place (or reality, for that matter) in the life of a true Christ follower. "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1)! Living in the crucifixion is a real power buster, and keeps a follower of Christ in bondage.
As I continued to read about Paul's astounding ministry, I realized that in his life he proceeded in Christ's resurrection and not His death. He followed the living Christ with complete freedom and confidence because he knew Him, saw Him, experienced Him as the living Christ. That is where he lived, and that is from where he drew his power. Paul did not get hung up on his sin, although he was keenly aware of it and grieved over it from time to time. His focus was on Christ alone, and he was able to speak with confidence despite fierce opposition, dangerous journeys, stubborn colleagues, powerful government, and ignorant followers, because he had seen Christ first hand and knew what he knew without a doubt.
My good friend Betsy and I have sometimes mused about how we wish we could have confidence and courage like Paul. But then we try to let ourselves off the hook by remembering that he had the advantage of actual physical and audible encounters with Jesus. But recently I realized that we have something just as powerful as a physical encounter with Christ: God's Word, which is literally the same thing! "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Holy cow! Whenever we read the Bible, we are encountering the living God...Christ Himself. Literally! So we are without excuse when we say that Paul and the other first hand witnesses of Jesus had an advantage over us. We have the Word, the eternal Christ, on our bedside tables, in our purses, and on our phones! We don't need the road to Damascus. The living and eternal Christ is accessible to us all the time!

The Department of Justice has been running a lawsuit against some of Silicon Valley's most famous faces since 2009. The suit alleges that a number of high-powered firms agreed not to recruit technical talent from one another, which may reduce the turnover ratio of engineering departments but would also be a highly illegal activity. At the heart of the matter were Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), each of which supposedly set up a network of do-not-call lists with other heavyweights (and one another).
The feds started settling the initial case nearly three years ago, but that wasn't the end of the story. With the DoJ's claims out of the way, a class-action lawsuit took shape. This one's not about anticompetitive strategy, but about unfairly limiting the earnings power of about 100,000 technical staffers. And that lawsuit is still rolling since judge Lucy Koh (yes, the honorable Lucy Koh of last summer's blockbuster, Apple's $1 billion victory over Samsung) denied a call for dismissal in April.
Well, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) has apparently had enough of this affair. In a weekend court filing, Judge Koh said The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)'s Lucasfilm and Pixar units have settled their differences with unhappy employees. It's time for The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)'s legal team to don their swimsuits and take a vacation, because for them, this long-running saga is finally over.
Well, almost — Koh expects a joint settlement status report by Friday, and she gives the lawyers another week after that to file five-page briefs on how this settlement might affect the remaining defendants. Until then (or perhaps not even then), we won't have any detail on what the settlements entailed. But attorney Joseph Saveri, who represented the disgruntled employees, seems to like the outcome, so it probably wasn't cheap for The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS).
The next hearing in the ongoing case is set for Aug. 8, giving the defendants and plaintiffs some time to work out a deal before the next court appearance.
It's hard to say whether or not the settlement affected The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)'s share price. The stock dropped 1.5% on Monday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) was rather flat, but The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) had other news competing for shareholders' attention that day. In particular, digital video site Hulu.com, of which the House of Mouse is a co-owner, was on the auction block last week. But Hulu's triumvirate of owners decided to keep the service in house and pump more capital into it instead.

Sightseeing in Dublin:
Trinity College:
Trinity's greatest treasures are kept in the Old Library's stunning 65m Long Room , which houses about 250,000 of the library's oldest volumes, including the breathtaking Book of Kells . Your entry ticket includes admission to temporary exhibitions on display in the East Pavilion. The ground-floor Colonnades was originally an open arcade, but was enclosed in 1892 to increase the storage area. A previous attempt to increase the room's storage capacity had been made in 1853, when the Long Room ceiling was raised. Other displays include a rare copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, which was read out by Pádraig Pearse at the beginning of the Easter Rising in 1916. Also here is the so-called harp of Brian Ború , which was definitely not in use when the army of this early Irish hero defeated the Danes at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. It does, however, date from around 1400, making it one of the oldest harps in Ireland.
Kilmainham Gaol
If you have any desire to understand Irish history – especially the juicy bits about resistance to English rule – then a visit to this former prison is an absolute must. This threatening grey building, built between 1792 and 1795, has played a role in virtually every act of Ireland's painful path to independence.
The uprisings of 1798, 1803, 1848, 1867 and 1916 ended with the leaders' confinement here. Robert Emmet, Thomas Francis Meagher, Charles Stewart Parnell and the 1916 Easter Rising leaders were all visitors, but it was the executions in 1916 that most deeply etched the jail's name into the Irish consciousness. Of the 15 executions that took place between 3 May and 12 May after the revolt, 14 were conducted here. As a finale, prisoners from the Civil War were held here from 1922. The jail closed in 1924.

Newgrange Neolithic passage tomb and Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre
A thousand years older than Stonehenge, the extensive Neolithic necropolis known as Brú na Boinne (the Boyne Palace) is simply breathtaking, even if at first glance it just looks like a handful of raised mounds in the fecund fields of County Meath.
The largest artificial structures in Ireland until the construction of the Anglo-Norman castles 4000 years later, the necropolis was built to house VIP corpses.
Only two of the passage graves are open to visitors (Newgrange and Knowth) and they can only be visited as part of a carefully controlled organised tour departing from the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre.

In the course of the 2018 common season, the Chiefs led the league with a scoring common of 35.Three factors per recreation, adopted by the Rams (32.9), Saints (31.5) and Patriots (27.Three). The sport options the 2 winningest lively coaches in the Patriots' Invoice Belichick (290 wins) and the Chiefs' Andy Reid (207 wins).
It's up to the leagues prime 4 groups to make this playoff season a bit extra compelling.

- LAST MEETING – Patriots beat Chiefs 43-40, Oct. 14, 2018

- PATRIOTS OFFENSE – OVERALL (5), RUSH (5), PASS (Eight)
- CHIEFS OFFENSE – OVERALL (1), RUSH (16), PASS (Three)
Many soccer followers are hoping for a Kansas City victory on Sunday over New England. The rationale you'll hear many of them give is that they merely are drained of watching the Patriots play for the Vince Lombardi trophy.
However do we actually recognize what we're watching New England accomplish through the Invoice Belichick and Tom Brady period?
This previous season, New England gained its 10th consecutive division title, the longest streak in NFL historical past and to add salt to the injuries of the haters, the Patriots are the one staff to win 15 division titles in a 16-year span.
With their win over the Chargers final Sunday the Patriots can be enjoying in their eighth consecutive AFC Championship Recreation, the primary workforce because the 1970 merger to play in eight consecutive Convention Championship Video games.
In all, that is the franchises 15th Convention Championship look, 13 of them have include Invoice Belichick because the coach and Tom Brady beneath middle.
With a win on Sunday, the Patriots will set a brand new NFL document for many postseason wins in a decade with 15 and can enhance their all-time franchise mark in the playoffs to 36-20 (.643), one of the best playoff profitable proportion in NFL historical past amongst groups which have performed at the least 15 playoff video games.
On the flip aspect, the Chiefs are enjoying in simply their second convention championship recreation since 1970. Their solely look got here in 1993 when Joe Montana was beneath middle for the Chiefs. Kansas was crushed up by the Buffalo Payments who have been on their means to dropping a 3rd straight Super Bowl.
Through the Brady Belechick period, the Patriots are 5-Four vs. groups in the course of the common season that they face in the convention championship recreation and 5-Four in the rematch in the convention championship recreation vs. groups they performed in the course of the common season.
ABOVE VIDEO: Max Kellerman says Invoice Belichick clearly deserves extra credit score than Tom Brady for the New England Patriots' 41-28 win vs. the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC Divisional Spherical. Kellerman credit Belichick's recreation plan and Sony Michel's three dashing touchdowns for outshining the Patriots' passing recreation.
Throughout that very same time, New England has swept the common season and convention championship recreation on 4 events as they defeated the Colts (twice), Chargers and Steelers in 2003, 07, 14 and in 2016.
For the Patriots to sweep for the fifth time, they'll have to battle forecasted extreme chilly circumstances and a Chiefs offense led by Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes had a particular season. He turned simply the third quarterback in NFL historical past to have 50 or extra landing passes in a season, Peyton Manning holds the NFL report as he completed with 55 in 2013.
The opposite quarterback to throw 50 touchdowns through the common season shall be standing on the other sideline on Sunday. Tom Brady had 50 TD passes in 2007.
This previous season KC ranked first in the NFL in scoring (third in NFL historical past) with a franchise-record 565 factors (35.Three ppg). The membership led the league in yards per play (6.84) and ranked first in the NFL in yards per recreation (425.6).
Mahomes had 300 plus passing in 10 video games this season led the league with 52 throws of 25-plus yards. He had a lot of weapons on the receiving finish of the throws.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill completed fourth in the NFL with 1,479 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. Hill had 5 TDs of 50 yards this season. Tight finish Travis Kelce had career-best 1,336 yards receiving and has now caught a move in 79 consecutive regular-season video games.
For all of the speak of how bads the Chiefs protection was this season, they tied for the league as a unit in NFL with 52 sacks.
Defensive deal with Chris Jones has 15.5 sacks and set an NFL report this season with a sack in 11 consecutive video games. Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford has 11 QB pressures that brought about turnovers or fumbles this season, together with a strip-sack towards Indianapolis final week
ABOVE VIDEO: Patriots rookie operating again SonyMichell rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns in his postseason debut, whereas operating again James White caught 15 passes in the divisional spherical, tying an NFL postseason report.
If New England is to win they may have to depend on their dashing assault to hold Mahomes and the Chiefs explosive offense off the sector.
Patriots rookie operating again Sony Michell rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns in his postseason debut, whereas operating again James White caught 15 passes in the divisional spherical, tying an NFL postseason report.
Michell, a first-round draft decide, surpassed 100 dashing yards in 5 of his 13 video games this season. The Chiefs' protection has been one of the worst in the NFL at stopping the run and Michel accounted for 102 of the Patriots' 173 dashing yards in their win over with Chiefs earlier this season.
Tom Brady could have to depend on the brief passing recreation as he has completed with nice success on Sunday if the Pats are to advance to their third straight Super Bowl.
Brady will look to Julian Edelman who merely racks up yards and catches in the playoffs. Brady has focused Edelman 10 or extra occasions in every of the Patriots' final 10 playoff video games and he's excelled averaging eight catches and 101.6 yards per recreation throughout that span.
Final week in the divisional spherical, Edelman tied his profession excessive with 191 yards on 9 catches. Edelman will doubtless be coated by Chiefs slot nook Kendall Fuller, who in accordance to Professional Soccer Focus has allowed 19 catches on 23 targets for 206 yards and has missed 5 tackles during the last three video games.
The venue issues in the NFL, particularly in the playoffs. The primary recreation was performed in New England the place going again to 2001, the Patriots are 19-Three in the playoffs however simply Three-Four on the street.
This previous season, together with Saturday's dominant win over the Chargers, New England went an ideal 9-Zero at Gillette Stadium and posted a league-best level differential of 143, profitable their house video games by a mean of two touchdowns and a two-point conversion.
On the street, they went Three-5 and completed with a negative-19 level differential (17th).
The Chiefs, in the meantime, are Eight-1 at house this yr and their win over the Colts on Saturday snapped a six-game home-playoffs dropping streak. Kansas City may have to hope they exorcized all of the home-field playoff demons.
Residence groups have gained every of the final 10 convention championship video games. The final street groups to advance to the Super Bowl have been the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers in the 2012 postseason.
ABOVE VIDEO: Lamar Hunt is the unique proprietor of the Kansas City Chiefs. The winner of the AFC Championship recreation receives a trophy that bears his identify, which the Chiefs have by no means gained.
The Kansas City Chiefs are three-point favorites. This the primary time New England has not been favored in a postseason recreation because the 2013 AFC Championship a 26-16 street loss to the Denver Broncos. The final time the Patriots have been underdogs in a recreation Tom Brady began was Week 13 in 2014 at Inexperienced Bay.
When the Chiefs final performed in the Super Bowl, Len Dawson was matriculating the ball down the sector for head coach Hank Stram as Kansas City upset the closely favored Minnesota Vikings, 23-7 in Super Bowl IV, following the 1969 season.
The primary quarter might be an indicator as to how this recreation may go. Kansas City outscored their opponents by 91 factors in the primary 15 minutes of a recreation this season. Of their common season matchup with the Chiefs, the Patriots gained the primary quarter 10-6 and the sport 43-40.
However that recreation was in New England and Kansas City is arguably the hardest place to win a street recreation, a lot much less the Chiefs first-ever house AFC Convention title recreation.
The truth is, Arrowhead Stadium set the Guinness world document for the loudest outside stadium throughout September 2014 recreation between guess who, the Chiefs and Patriots.
To take it a step additional, New England has not gained a street playoff recreation since beating Chargers 24-21 in the divisional spherical in 2006 season.
The Chiefs have scored at the very least 26 factors in each recreation this season and whereas I feel the climate will forestall this recreation from duplicating the 83 complete factors the groups mixed to rating earlier this season in their recreation, I do assume the Chiefs rating their 26 and some extra in this contest.
So long as Andy Reid doesn't outthink himself or stops considering altogether, for the primary time in franchise historical past, the trophy that bears the identify of their founding proprietor, Lamar Hunt, will probably be hoisted in Kansas City because the Chiefs advance to their first Super Bowl in 49 years.
PREDICTION: Kansas City Chiefs 30 New England 14

Anyone who knows me personally and reads this is sure to call me out as a hypocrite (and I certainly seem like I'm contradicting myself if you read my last post), but I am bringing this up because I genuinely desire the best for those of you reading this right now!
In short, writing down goals, ideas, or even facts about oneself or a situation helps your brain form new connections between those ideas from a neurological standpoint (physical connections between neurons, etc.), but it also helps organize the information from a psychological perspective as well. Logically, this idea of separation between ideas in order to clarify makes sense, because our brains are only capable of processing so much information at one time via conscious attention to stimuli.
This means that even if you're thinking about one goal, but there is more than a few factors contributing to your decision making, your brain isn't capable of taking them all into account at once and you are likely to miss details, and missed details means missing out on successful grades, successful planning at work, or (if you're a parent) possibly forgetting to bring your kids with you on the way to THEIR school event.
Speaking of details, allow me to elaborate on a few:
Some researchers say that your brain can only process two conversations simultaneously at once. Other researchers say this might not even be true, and that we can only consciously process one 'thing' at a time. The group that proposes singular-processing feels that the colloquially accepted phrase of "multi-tasking" is more accurately described as "rapid task-switching."
Think back to the times you were having a conversation with two people at once; it was definitely manageable, and you at least understood the important parts of what each person was saying, but if you throw just one more conversation into the mix you get overloaded and don't know what anyone is talking about. The same is true for performing multiple tasks, managing your time for different activities, and organizing ideas in your head.
So what's the secret to multi-tasking? Or as the researchers put it, rapid task-switching?
Despite popular belief, the answer is not being a woman. However, one thing many women do that allows them to facilitate rapid task-switching so efficiently is- you guessed it- writing it down! This does not mean every task has to be explicitly written via pen and paper, but illustrating a web of ideas or a schedule for a day so you can process it both visually and cognitively allows your brain to process overlapping details it otherwise wouldn't.
And don't hate me for citing the overly-referenced statistic… but YOU'RE 42% MORE LIKELY TO ACHIVE A GOAL IF YOU WRITE IT DOWN (according to a study done by a professor from Dominican University in California)!
One statistic many of you might not know, however, is one procured from a study of graduate students in an MBA program at Harvard. Of the students involved in the study, 3% wrote down their goals and aspirations regularly, 13% had goals but had never written them down anywhere, and 84% didn't have any established goals at all.
The results were shocking: the 13% who had goals but didn't write them down made 2x as much money as the 84% without goals, but the 3% of students who regularly wrote down goals and worked towards them made, on average, 10x as much money as the other 97% altogether. There was no confirmation or criteria regarding what percentage of students ended up achieving their goals, but obviously it worked out monetarily for the few who regularly wrote these goals down.
I know that I discouraged planning everything down to the minute in a planner, and I stand by the notion that this causes more stress than it dissolves, but when it comes to goal setting, pursuing dreams, organizing ideas, or just simplifying concepts, writing them down and keeping your mind from wandering at all times is as good a way as any to make sure those dreams come true.

New Frenchie Fortunia hasn't been so fortunate up until now, but that's about to change. This six(ish)-year-old girl was purchased off the internet less than a year ago, and surrendered recently to FBRN when the family who purchased her realized that her skin issues and intermittently absent house manners were more than they could manage with one young human in the house and another on the way. Fortunia arrived on FBRN's doorstep with persistent yeast infections on her skin that have caused sores and discomfort. Poor girlie!
Fortunia has settled nicely into her Iowa foster home, and seems to love the resident canines, her new raw diet, and every human she meets. Foster mom reports that she is sweet as can be and likes to "hug" you with her paws, lay her head on your shoulder and take a nap. Be still our hearts! She is still working on her potty training, and foster mom says she seems to suffer from separation anxiety as well, so there is work to be done. But she is already off to a great start and we know it will just be a matter of time before she is polished into a French gem and all ready to send off to her forever home. We will keep you posted! In the meantime, if you'd like to donate to her care, click on the link above and make a donation. Let's send some good fortune in Fortunia's direction!
For Fortunia, may your transition be a smooth one. We honor our girl, Bear -gone too soon- by helping you. Shannon and Alan and Bear (RIP)

As I am flying over the Grand Canyon, it looks completely different than standing on its rim. Granted, from both perspectives, it is a really big hole.
But flying over it gives a fuller sense of the enormity of this natural wonder and the events that created it.
Sometimes a different perspective helps us understand things better. Looking at comparative financial statements gives us one perspective, but looking at a common-size statement can help us learn something new.

For better or for worse, Beats might be the most well-known audio brand out right now. They haven't released anything new in a while, and now that the iPhone 7 is out we know why. The new Beats products come with Apple's new W1 chip. This chip is supposed to enhance the Bluetooth experience if you have an iOS device. So does it? And how about that classic Beats sound signature, is it still there? There's a lot of questions to be answered. So let's dig in to them with the new Solo3 Wireless.
What's inside
Opening the box you'll get the classic "change the way you hear sound" message. Pulling that out you'll get a small softshell carrying case and in there you'll find the headphones. You'll also get the 3.5mm audio cable with inline mic and remote, a micro USB charging cable, a small carabiner clip, and of course a small sleeve with the instructions, a Beats sticker, and warranty information.
Build & Design
The Solo 3 Wireless look almost identical to the Solo 2 headphones. If you've seen those before you won't be surprised by anything. We're looking at the glossy black color here. Just a fair warning, they do seem to have a thing for fingerprints. But they also come in a bunch of other color options. That's one thing Beats has always been good at. These on-ears are still made of a hard plastic all around and have really nice leather earcups. I found the padding to be particularly great because the headband fits a little too snug for my taste, but the plush earcups definitely make up for it.
Now that said, these still aren't the most comfortable headphones I've worn by a longshot. One thing I'm still not a fan of is the plastic padding on the top of the headband. I found that it has such a strong grip that it sometimes pulled my hair when I was taking off the headphones. That said, it's that same grippy plastic that keeps them from flying off every time you shake your head. So it's both good and bad. While these headphones do hold up to your average twists and turns, they still feel too brittle in my opinion. The included soft shell case is great for portability, but not for protection. If you're thinking of picking these up I would definitely consider getting a hardshell case for these.
The headphones do fold down to a very compact size which is good news if you're a commuter. On the side of the left earcup you'll find a single multifunction button with the Beats "b" logo. The bottom of that earcup has a 3.5mm input so you can hardwire in the included audio cable. One thing that takes some getting used to is that the right earcup also has an identical "b" on it. But it isn't a button and I found myself accidentally pressing it on several occasions with no results obviously. What you will find on the right earcup is the power and Bluetooth pairing button along with a micro USB input for charging.
This is where things take a turn and the Beats Solo 3 begin to show off their new features. This section might be a bit longer than usual just because there's so much to talk about here thanks to that new W1 chip we mentioned. If this is the future of Bluetooth, I'm excited. Pairing to my iPhone 6s was flawless. When I turned on the headphones the pairing card immediately popped up on my phone. All I had to do was hit "connect" and the headphones were immediately paired to every device on my iCloud account which include my iPad and Macbook pro.
I also found that pairing to the headphones requires the phone to be within a few inches. With two iPhones in pairing mode, the "Connect" card popped up on the phone that was closest to the Beats Solo 3. Think of it like pairing via NFC but with a longer range and the added benefit of only having to pair once for your idevices to all work perfectly.
Technically my iPhone 6s doesn't even have the new W1 chip, so how does it work with the Solo 3s that do? Well the W1 chip is only half of the equation. The other half is on the software side, which Apple pushed through on the iOS10 update. This means that hopefully we'll see that software come to other devices in the future to make for a universally amazingly easy way to connect to a headphones. Most likely not but, I can dream. Which brings me to the downside of this process, if you're on anything other than an iOS device you're out of luck.
Connecting to my Nexus 6 was the same old process, which isn't really a big deal but you're missing out on the coolest features of the W1 chip. As far as playback controls go you'll get the same experience on both Android or iOS if you're using them wirelessly. You can tap the multifunction button once to play/pause music or answer/end phone calls. Tapping it twice will skip to the next song, tapping it three times will return to a previous song, and holding it down will access Siri or Google Now.
Thanks to the W1 chip range was also given a huge boost. If the phone is in your pocket or backpack, you won't have an issue at all. We were able to get to around 100 feet easily without skipping at all. When using them wired you'll only get full functionality on iOS devices. On Android you won't be able to adjust the volume or return to previous tracks using the built-in mic and remote.
Battery Life
So Beats claims that the battery on the new Solo 3 Wireless will last you an insane 40 hours. For reference, the previous Solo 2 model lasted 12 hours. The difference is, again thanks to the new W1 chip. These get pretty loud and testing them on max volume got us about 31.5 hours. So it's easy to see how you can 40 hours if you listen to music at normal human levels. If you do manage to deplete your battery, throwing them back on a charger for 5 minutes is enough to get you another 3 hours of battery life.
Sound Quality
We did almost all our testing wirelessly over Bluetooth on both Android and iOS devices, but we did do some testing hardwired into an audio interface as well just to see what these could really do when pushed.
This is Beats we're talking about. So naturally the Solo 3s have a pretty strong low end. That said, I found it to be more overpowering than I can usually tolerate. Hip-hop and electronic music, which can usually benefit from a stronger bass, felt way too boomy to me and it made for a pretty unpleasant experience overall.
Because of the emphasis on bass, the mids also suffered. Listening to "Generator ^ Second Floor" by Freelance Whales really showcase this issue when the consistent drum kicks come in about 40 seconds into the song. Everything is pushed out of the way when the bass kicks start and the banjo all but disappears. Even the vocals don't have decent detail until the bass kicks drop out.
Considering how loud these get Beats did a pretty good job at pulling back the highs. Songs that normally have loud piercing sounds aren't really painful, but the highs are also really lacking in detail. The finger pick scratches in "Naked As We Came" by Iron & Wine which usually lend a nice live feel to the song is barely noticeable here.
One thing that's worth mentioning is that sound leakage is pretty real with these. If you're listening to them above 60%, the people next to you will probably be able to sing along.
The Beats Solo3 Wireless got me very excited for the future of wireless headphones, just not for the Solo3. Connecting to iOS is a breeze and the benefits of the W1 chip range from a simple pairing process, to an insane battery life. In my opinion the build and sound quality are both issues, but let's be honest. These are going to fly off the shelves anyway. So at least these come with some real tangible benefits like a crazy long range and amazing battery life. Still, $300 isn't worth it to me and I will be returning mine.

Pushing WebKit's Buttons with a Mobile Pwn2Own ExploitFebruary 12, 2018 | Jasiel Spelman
With Pwn2Own 2018 a little over a month away, and Mobile Pwn2Own 2017 now in the rear-view mirror, it's a great time to talk about one of the bugs used during the contest.
During the last Mobile Pwn2Own (MP2O), one of the many bugs we saw was a use-after-free in Safari. To exploit this bug, an attacker just needs to convince someone to browse to a malicious website from an affected iPhone. The team from 360 Security demonstrated this bug during the last MP2O and earned themselves $20,000 in the process.
Let's dive right in by starting off with the proof-of-concept code:
Looking at this, we have a couple of things going on. In pure HTML, we have a
form element, as well as a
button element that is part of the form. There's also an
onload event handler on the
body element that stores a copy of the form's
elements attribute before calling the button's
remove method. Lastly, it triggers a delayed call to the
trigger function, which performs reclamation of a freed buffer prior to triggering the re-use.
remove call seems fairly clear -- it will remove the button, but there is more about buttons, or specifically HTMLButtonElements, that we need to know. It is important to understand the HTMLButtonElement class inherits from HTMLFormControlElement, which in turn inherits from FormAssociatedElement. All FormAssociatedElement instances have a potentially-NULL reference to an HTMLFormElement. When an instance is being destroyed,
setForm is called with a NULL
newForm argument. Within
setForm, if the instance currently has an associated form,
removeFormElement is called on the form with the instance as the sole argument. Doing this ensures that a form has no reference to an element that has been destroyed.
Clearly, there's more going on underneath the surface, so let's investigate the
elements attribute on the form. If we look at the Interactive Data Language (IDL) file for HTMLFormElements in WebKit, we see this line describing the
elements attribute:
Based on this information, we now know that the
collection variable will end up storing an HTMLFormControlsCollection instance. If we look at how this is actually handled by the class, we see the following:
By accessing the
elements attribute, a cached collection with
HTMLFormControlsCollection as the container type will be created. This cached collection stores a reference to every element that was part of the form when the
elements attribute is first accessed. However, references from the cached collection are not later removed if the elements are removed from the form. As a result, you can access freed objects.
This particular vulnerability was patched on November 3rd with git commit 8b2f1874e0727bb207e8e4625870763b3d75dc5e, which made a two-line change to the
removeFormElement function. Now when an element is being disassociated from a form, the NodeList will have its cache invalidated, removing the leftover reference to the removed element.
Another interesting thing to note with this bug is that it was initially presented as part of a larger exploit chain targeting Wi-Fi on a fully patched iPhone 7. At the MP2O contest, the full exploit chain succeeded, but in the disclosure room, we discovered one of the bugs used was the same as a bug submitted in a previous attempt by a different competitor the day before. Since a successful Pwn2Own entry requires true 0day, the team was only awarded a partial success for the attempt.
As we approach this year's Pwn2Own event, it will be interesting to see what research shows up, and how many people bring it. It's always intriguing, and not just for the bugs. We hope to see you in Vancouver.

This fall, Terra's Tom Zimmermann was named President of the Board of Directors of The Illinois State Wireless Association (ILSWA).
While Tom officially took office on January 1, he was introduced, along with the rest of the newly elected board, at the ILSWA annual Holiday Fundraiser and Casino Night in December. Outgoing President Marc Steinbach was the Master of Ceremonies for the event but handed the reins over to Tom at the end of the evening. Tom made a short speech about what he hopes to help ILSWA accomplish in his time as President.
During his three-year term as President of the Board, Tom's duties will include setting the agenda and running board meetings, calling for a vote on any items in front of the board for consideration, and ensuring that all committees and their chairpersons are functioning effectively within their roles.
There are four separate committees within ILSWA: Education, Membership, Regulatory and Event Planning. Tom will coordinate with these committees outside of the board meetings to make sure that everything is running smoothly and that goals are being met.
For example, the Education Committee currently offers scholarships only to high school students but wants to expand the program to offer that opportunity to college students as well as adults seeking continuing education in the industry.
The more visible side of the President of the Board's responsibilities includes overseeing the organization of ILSWA's fundraising drives at the three main social events annually: the ILSWA Spring Fling, the ILSWA Golf Outing and the Holiday Fundraiser and Casino Night.
The President also emcee's events throughout the year and serves as the Face of the Illinois State Wireless association. The President communicates with the organizations that benefit from the fundraising activities: Misericordia Heart of Mercy and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Congratulations Tom! We look forward to seeing what you and the board do in the coming years.

An interweaving of emotion and memory, of time and journeys that map a deep, personal connection to place.
There are places, for all of us, where our spirit seems to rest, our hearts to slow and our senses to sharpen. This is a personal, yet universal experience. For me, it is a piece of bush, along a creek, some miles from nowhere. The journey, over time, between our family and this place has been variously happy, sad, frustrating, peaceful, dry, wet and even alarming. Yet it has become part of the fabric of our lives. It has generated a rich array of memories, rituals, and visual familiarity, even its own vocabulary – known only to us in only this place- a kind of secret and implicit code.
There is thought and memory in every stitch and I invite you to get 'up close and personal' with these works.

Dress shopping can be a big pain, especially when a woman is trying to find the perfect dress for a special occasion. Whether it is a first date, a wedding guest dress, or a dress for a party, knowing what to look for is half the battle. Many women are now taking advantage of online clothing boutiques to help them find the perfect dress. With this information, women will better understand why they should consider starting their search online.
Why Search for a Dress Online?
Because dress shopping is sometimes overly stressful, many women find themselves pushed to find the perfect dress in a short amount of time. Instead of being able to shop at their leisure, they are forced into visiting brick and mortar locations with pushy salespeople and aggressive shoppers. When a woman begins her search online, she will gain many benefits from the shopping process, including the following.
- Women who shop for clothing online are able to do so at their leisure and are typically able to make a better choice for their needs.
- Many women prefer shopping online because the crowds cause too much stress which leads them to make hasty and unfavorable decisions.
- Women are often able to save quite a lot of money by shopping online because online boutiques are able to lower prices due to not having the expense of a brick and mortar building.
- When a woman shops online, she can put a dress in her cart and think about it for a few days until she is sure she is ready to say yes to the dress, no matter the occasion she is shopping for.
- Searching for a dress online saves time and often gives a woman a lot more options than she would see in a department store. Often, the online boutiques offer models who are wearing the dress, so a woman is better able to decide.

International migration.
Population Index. 1948 Apr; 14(2):97-104.Research in migration has been peculiarly susceptible to the changing problems of the areas and the periods in which demographers work. American studies of international movements diminished after the passage of Exclusion Acts, and virtually ceased as immigration dwindled during the depression years. On the other hand, surveys of internal migration proliferated as the facts of mass unemployment and the social approaches of the New Deal focused governmental attention on the relation of people to resources and to economic opportunity. Geographers and historians took over the field the demographers had vacated. The studies of pioneer settlement directed by Isaiah Bowman and those of Marcus Hansen dealing with the Atlantic crossing are outstanding illustrations of this non-demographic research on essentially demographic problems. Even when demographers investigated international movements they served principally as quantitative analysts of historical exchanges. This is not to disparage such studies as that of Truesdell on the Canadian in the United States, or of Coates on the United States immigrant in Canada, but merely to emphasize the point that Americans regarded international migration as an issue of the past.

I've told you before about a box I opened months after I had moved to discover that it contained unfinished mending that no longer fit anyone I knew. That's one of the joys of procrastination and I am experiencing it again now. Yesterday I tackled what was supposed to be a current pile of neglected papers intending to sort, file and toss,and found that some of the material dated back to 2013. What a pleasure! I kept very little. Oddly, it made me feel very efficient.
I also discovered some lovely bits and pieces destined to be blogs, and you will be receiving some of those in the future before they begin again to molder in a fresh heap. That's okay; I think they are timeless as the best blogs are.
This is random because again my power is ebbing, but just to tell you, I found one of my favourite words one that I already knew, in one of the glossaries in my Landmarks book. It's hirple, to walk with a limp. I had thought it was Scottish but Macfarlane says it's Irish. Both, probably. As I get older, that word becomes less and less obsolete and more and more appropriate. You may use it.
I'm going to have a power nap while my laptop does the same. I read this morning (NYT) that a 20-minute nap (I take half an hour) is as good as an extra hour's sleep in the night. I could have told you that and now I have.

We're going to try and pretend we know what Wayne Coyne's banging on about...
FLAMING LIPS vocalist WAYNE COYNE has said his debut film about the first Christmas on Mars will "hint at some sort of childlike magic" while remaining "tragic and realistic".
As previously reported on NME.COM, the singer is developing his first film, while taking time out from recording of the band's new album.
Now, speaking to Rolling Stone in the US, Coyne has revealed the plot. He said that the film is set in the future, and Mars, which has recently been colonised, has gone into decline leaving its residents trapped on the planet.
He said: "They're in the process of converting the spaceships that took them there into a place to live in and that process doesn't go too smoothly. The whole thing ends up very dilapidated, very un-futuristic. There's an element of confidence among the scientists, but the overall view is that things seem kind of doomed.
"None of this stops the colonists from celebrating their first Christmas up there. The hype they've added to this Mars mission is that this beautiful woman is giving birth to this sort of artificial impregnation from this bubble that she wears on her stomach, which is the way infants are gonna be born in the future. It's all scientifically timed so she gives birth to this baby the second it hits midnight on Christmas. So it's symbolically the beginning of a new civilisation. But instead of being born from religious ideas it's born from a science idea."
In the film, Coyne wants to play a Martian, who people think is "just this crazy guy who's green".
Coyne concluded by saying that the film is intended to be "real drama" and not "something silly".
He added: "I want even people who have no idea who the Flaming Lips are to watch it and feel some empathy for the characters. It's like all the Christmas-type movies that hint at some sort of childlike magic and at the same time try to be tragic and realistic."
In addition, the official Flaming Lips website [url=]www.flaminglips.com is appealing to people who may have an appropriate prop to contact them via e-mail.

Sensor Basics: What's a Pressure Sensor and Why It Matters
Engineer's Garage says a pressure sensor is a device that senses pressure. So if you're wondering what low pressure sensors mean, it simply refers to a set of devices that senses when pressure levels are low or are currently going down. It also converts that pressure into an electric signal. The magnitude of the signal depends solely on the level of pressure applied. Since it has the ability to convert energy to a signal, a pressure sensor is also more commonly known as a pressure transducer.
What are types of pressure measurements?
Measuring pressure is often viewed relative to a reference value or in relation to an absolute scale. There are three types:
* Absolute. This pressure measurement happens when the pressure is measured about the perfect vacuum. Perfect vacuum simply refers to a situation where zero matter exists in the atmosphere. That means zero air pressure in the area as well. Sensors that are designed to record absolute pressure measurements can often be found in measurements connected to barometric or altitude.
* Differential. This pressure measurement refers to a situation when two positions are compared. The difference between the two pressures is often calculated. You'll likely encounter this pressure measurement if you ever need to engage in feed pressure monitoring activities.
* Gauge. Similar to the differential pressure management, where you compare pressure against the atmospheric pressure. A gauge pressure measurement is often associated with applications related to measuring tire and blood pressure. However, because altitude changes the atmospheric pressure constantly, applications are often non-critical measurements.
Why is it important?
Pressure sensors, especially low pressure sensors, have plenty of uses in different industries, from automobiles and manufacturing to air conditioning, hydraulic measurements, and more. Some prominent examples are:
* Automotives. Pressure sensors are an important part of your car's engine and safety features. Sensors track the oil and coolant pressure, ensuring that power is regulated.
* Touchscreen gadgets. You might not notice it but every time you use your touch-operated tablet or smartphone, that's pressure sensors at work, with the slight pressure on the monitor allowing for a multitude of moves.
* Industrial Pressure sensors are used to track gasses and whatever forms of pressure they come within industrial environments. This way, if chemical reactions happen, pressure sensor readings provide an existing data that can help shed light on the matter.

capacitance [2006/10/15 09:35] (current)
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
|Capacitance, in electricity, is the capability of a body, system, circuit, component or device for storing electric charge. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of a stored charge in coulombs to the impressed potential difference in volts. The resulting unit of capacitance is designated as the farad. In an electric circuit the component device designed to store such an charge is called a capacitor. An ideal capacitor is one having no resistance and no inductance. The resulting characteristic is capacitance.

Weaving, or Learning How to Thread the Big Loom.
So guys, I married into a really amazing family. They are full of people that inspire and support me in every way they can think of. Teaching, loving, feeding, hugging, chatting, and spoiling me all the time. The backbone of this family is my husband's grandma. Grandma Lee, Great Mama, Lenora, Lee, the list of names seems never-ending depending on who you ask.
She is one of those people that knows everyone simply because everybody wants to know her. At 94 years young she is vibrant and involved in many groups, guilds and activities - including her Weaving Guild. She was telling me today that she learned to weave at a young age by a woman who wasn't very good, but taught her just enough to pique her interest in weaving on a loom. Then she did some on her own, but really didn't learn a lot about weaving until joining the guild. Throughout her lifetime she has created unbelievably beautiful and unique weavings.
I was helping Lee with threading her monster loom today for a wonderful project she is just starting - a project just for her. Learning how to thread it and watching her set it up today have really got me interested in learning how to do it, obviously in a much, much simpler way (she's a pro!).
Is there really anything better than learning a new trick or trade? My friend Kelly says that people like her and I are "Dabblers" and I couldn't agree more. Whenever I need to get my creative juices flowing, I just take out a library book or watch a YouTube video and all of a sudden I feel invigorated. The feeling of making something out of nothing is my favorite thing in the world.
Hopefully taking a quick peek inside the "Loom Room" has you feeling as inspired as I do!

I can recall in 1991 on the occasion of my first visit to Russia, from which my father had fled on horseback in 1930 leaving his parents and his brother and sister for ever, an episode occurred which has echoed in my mind ever since. My wife and I were in a park in Leningrad, as St Petersburg was called then. It was a glorious summer's day in July and two Russian friends had taken us to a park for a picnic. We walked past massive old oak trees and under their dark shade along a gravel path, which wound through the vast grassy parkland. Everything was a bright green of the kind you never see in Queensland. In a mimicry of those clichéd love scenes in movies, in which the lovers skip hand in hand over green grass in slow motion, I took my wife's hand and we plunged over the grass while I bellowed out a tune, I forget what now, but perhaps the theme from Love Story or some such. I was brought round roughly from this foolishness by my Russian friends who dragged us off the grass and back onto the path. "You can't go on the grass," they said. I looked around. There was no 'Keep off the grass' sign. Why can't I go on the grass? "Because you can't". I observed that there was no sign saying I couldn't do so. "No, no," they insisted. "If it is permissible to tread on the grass there would be a sign giving such permission."
There, in a brief and otherwise inconsequential human interaction evoking the entirely spontaneous and otherwise mundane reactions of the people involved, is a demonstration of the visceral state of belief of two sets of people brought up within two distinct sets of culture, tradition and history. A lesson in constitutional law as a part of the make-up of a human being.
It had amused me a great deal when I had read, long ago, the catalogue of civil rights which had been conferred upon citizens of the Soviet Union by their written constitution. Those rights were every part the equal of those guaranteed to citizens of the United States of America and of which there is, as you know, no written equivalent in our own country. Of course, those rights were never exercised by anyone in the Soviet Union and, perhaps, there were indeed no legal or practical means to have enforced them anyway.
Why is it then, that in a country which had a written constitutional guarantee of full civil rights, two of its citizens behaved with such an instinctive appreciation that they lacked any such rights; while the two citizens of another
country, who had never enjoyed the benefit of any written guarantees of civil liberties at all, acted in accordance with a fundamental assumption that they possessed such liberties in full and that liberty under the law means, at least, that any act is permitted if it is not expressly forbidden by a valid law? Research required by a proposed constitutional challenge has required me to read again the history of the development of our constitutional system from Magna Carta to the enactment of our own Australian Constitution and to the present day.
Freedom, I learned, is the product of civilization, not an inherent attribute of nature. A society will evolve not by deciding upon a set of common laws to obey but by a spontaneous willingness on the part of a group of people to conform to the same standards of conduct. From this habit of principled conformity will evolve an articulation of rules of self-discipline - not to steal, not to murder, not to commit incest and so on.
Such a society will, over the course of time, also determine that there must be some things that nobody has power to do. From this it will follow that minorities will submit to laws conceived by the majority because the majority is prepared to submit itself to those same sets of laws. In due course habituated patterns of law making, voluntary and cheerful obedience to laws justified by the visible application of laws equally to everyone, will result in the evolution of legal institutions of an enduring kind – a legislature, courts, an executive acting in accordance with the rule of law. It is an unshakeable willingness on the part of all of us to conform to these fundamentals which has resulted in our stable constitutional democracy; everything else is just ink on paper.
When it is seen, then, that institutions such as courts, are really nothing more and nothing less than a combination of people who share a common appreciation of expected behaviour and a common knowledge and recollection of how to behave, some of that knowledge being cultural and ingrained and some of it taught as a body of formal scholarship, it may be accepted that an institution has, for just those reasons, an enduring vitality. It is hard to destroy a group. A single person will find it hard to destroy an institution comprised of numerous people engaged in patterns of repeated behaviour guided by devotion to a principle. A single rotten apple will not, in fact, taint anyone else because the others are repelled by the stench.
Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that any such institution is invulnerable to harm. Our personal concern as lawyers – whether we are lawyers in actual practice or like you, lawyers in the making – is principally with the courts. Any Australian lawyer who in due time gains a sense of his or her place in the long British, and shorter Australian, tradition of the administration of justice
will come to take for granted that the system generally works, that it is not corrupt nor corruptible and that those who work within it, by and large, are trying to do their best in accordance with proper principle as they see it. Indeed, I believe that to the extent that we take these things for granted and are right for doing so at the particular time, it is proof that these institutions are functioning properly and proof of their enduring strength. They would hardly be stable and abiding institutions if we had to be constantly worried about them.
However, life is not perfect and threats exist. Fortunately in this country, threats to the integrity of the courts do not arise from criminal behaviour on the part of outsiders or those who work within the system itself. Corruption induced by money or threats of harm to judges or lawyers is unknown. Threats to integrity are more likely to arise from the consequences of a defective personality which is driven not by principle but by selfish ambition or an unhealthy desire for power or prestige. In the case of people on the outside of the system, like politicians with power or influence in such matters, we can add as a potential source of harm a lack of proper education or relevant experience, an absent sense of history and an inability to understand what underlies the need for integrity in public office and why appointing friends just because they are friends to important posts won't work.
People like these draw strength when they misbehave from the timidity and apathy of lawyers who seek a quiet life but who ought instead be reacting with zealous rage. A willingness to harm our precious institutions makes fools of each one of us and we should be strident in our objection to being made fools. The end of liberty in the sense in which we enjoy it in Australia is not now on the horizon and I do not believe that it ever will be. An end to our liberties of a sudden kind could only be brought about by a cataclysmic event and we, as a people, are not prone to initiate or to take part in cataclysms.
The danger does not lie there. It lies, rather, in a gradual erosion of liberty by the glacially slow elimination of rights and privileges, whether by political or by legal acts, or by the failure or refusal of those who are under a duty to act in accordance with expected standards to do so for reasons of a personal kind. Habitual rejection of principled conduct by any of us who serve the ends of justice will, in time, affect people's expectations and faith in the system which we serve. I believe that we live in a country in which we expect and require that people be appointed to positions of power because they will do what is right and not in order that whatever they do is, for that reason, to be taken to be right. However, that could change and we can find ourselves working in a legal system staffed by political flunkies or friends of political flunkies.
Appointments made for irrelevant purposes, out of mere friendship or to serve some perceived political goal, degrade our system of justice at its foundation because, by definition, an absence of merit in an appointment means an absence of necessary technical skill or personal integrity.
If politicians persist in degrading the quality of our institutions without objection from the rest of us, our ingrained customary belief in our freedom to walk on Australian grass, the product of centuries of thought, work and sacrifice, will be replaced by a cynical, depressing and correct expectation that the grass is reserved only for the feet of those with the right connections.
The only possible way to prevent something like this happening is for those of us whose lives are lived around or within the institutions of the law, particularly lawyers, to react with loud outrage whenever we sense any intrusion upon our precious ways of life. We have examples of such principled reactions easily to hand. The journalists who, in 1986, wrote the articles and TV documentaries which compelled even a corrupt government to establish a commission of inquiry were such people. The lawyers who worked within the resulting commission, the Fitzgerald Inquiry as it came to be known, were also such people. The report of that commission, which I have been re-reading for the reason I have explained, is worth studying even today and a great deal of it has once again become highly relevant, unfortunately so. The lawyers and law students who work for free on difficult cases to defend the rights of asylum seekers (or refugees as they were called when my own parents came here from a refugee camp in the Philippines in 1949) are also of that kind. In fact, any person who feels compelled merely to write a letter to a media outlet, by a sense that an important public principle has been violated, is also in that category.
Malice, ignorance and selfishness hate the embarrassment of publicity. What all of the protectors of liberty have had in common, from Tom Paine to the lawyers who at the present time act without hope of personal gain for indigent clients oppressed by executive action, is that the remedy they seek always involves a public vindication of rights. They welcome bringing the issues into the public eye upon the grounds of reasoned principle; their opponents hate it.
And what of you, the law student?
I believe that the moment when you begin to regard yourself as a full participant in the administration of justice and a defender of its institutions comes when you decide it has come. It can be now or it may be never. But one thing is true: you do not need a degree or a practicing certificate to consider yourself qualified to be one of those at the barricades.
And you do not need to be a highly experienced lawyer to have a significant effect. In 1977 it was a law student (not me, although I wish it had been) who initiated a private prosecution against the Premier of Queensland alleging a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. He lost the case, he could hardly have won it, but he won the point: a demonstration that the law applies to everyone equally and that anyone is free to approach the courts for a remedy. And, moreover, he demonstrated that if you have a point to make in defence of liberty and the law you will often find that you are not alone but that others, perhaps powerful others, will come to stand with you if you are prepared, at first, to do it alone.

Wednesday Winning - Julie Solomon/
Ladies and Gents – Today's Wednesday Winning is featuring Julie Solomon – and wow do I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with a powerhouse like Julie. As a publicist, brand manager, marketing strategist, blogger, and founder of The Influencer Podcast, Julie's blog, juliesolomon.net, teaches influencers and entrepreneurs how to up-level their business through PR, social media, and marketing strategies. Her course, Pitch it Perfect, is an online course that teaches people how to garner free publicity for themselves through a pitch formula I created, that garnered over $500K in brand deals in 2016. Read below to learn more about how Julie started her business, her greatest challenges in building a business, how she overcame them and how she balances clients such as Lenny Kravitz, Janes Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots, blogger Lauren Scruggs Kennedy and publishing houses Simon & Schuster and Harper Collins Publishing.
What happened or inspired you to start your business?
I saw the need that bloggers and influencers needed when it pertained to knowledge, valuing their work and knowing their worth. So many influencers were negotiating bad deals and agreeing to terms that didn't serve them or their work for the long term. It's my goal to change that for them.
How does spirituality impact your business?
Spirituality impacts my business through service. It's the essence of my brand. I work with a lot of faith-based leaders and prominent Christian leaders. As well, my course Conscious Connection is all about connecting to your unique spiritual brilliance to reveal your true service to the world. I worked with an energy healer and spiritual coach, Nicola Salter, last year and she really helped me align how my "spirit" can flow with my mind and body to achieve a greater brilliance. It was life changing and really catapulted my endeavors to where they are today. In such a short time, so much was achieved and it was truly inspiring.
How do you stay motivated through the ups and downs of owning your own business?
My family is a driving force, as well my own outlook. I tend to be extremely optimistic, which helps. If something fails or doesn't happen then way I envisioned I might feel disappointed but I use it as fuel for growth to get me to that next level. I know that every struggle I am given, essentially, is what I have asked for. It's all part of the process.
What would you tell the younger you just starting her business?
Focus down! I believe it is so important to test a lot of things out, as that how you find your niche. But I wish I had been more focused. I used to work sporadically and would constantly be switching to different tasks at the same time, which really wasted so much time.
How do you balance your clients, professional projects, and personal commitments?
It's a daily practice. Praying and meditation help and honestly I say NO often. If it is not going to clearly better my family, my work or I then I don't do it.
What has been your biggest challenge and how did you overcome?
My biggest challenges were always leaving the "safe" jobs and going out on my own. I have done it twice now and as scary as it is, I always know when I follow my fears, I am on the right track.
What project are you most excited about right now?
I am most excited about my new podcast, The Influencer Podcast. We just launched last month and are already in the top 40 business podcasts on iTunes. It is really amazing. I love the conversations and connecting with my audience in this way. We are also working on some new things with Pitch it Perfect. Although it is geared toward bloggers, anyone that has a "brand" or business they are trying to promote can benefit from it. If you need to collaborate or if you need to garner media for your business - this will help you get there!
