The Museum of Failure is a collection of failed products and services. The museum showcases failures to provide visitors a learning experience about the important role of failure for innovation and to encourage organizations to become better at learning from failure. The exhibition opened on June 7, 2017 in Helsingborg, Sweden, and re-opened at Dunkers Kulturhus on June 2, 2018. A temporary exhibit opened in Los Angeles in December 2017. The Los Angeles museum is on Hollywood Blvd. in the Hollywood & Highland Center.
The growing collection consists of over seventy failed products and services from around the world. Every item provides insight into the risky business of innovation. Some examples of the items on display: Apple Newton, Bic for Her, Google Glass, N-Gage, lobotomy instruments, Harley-Davidson Cologne, Kodak DC-40, Sony Betamax, Lego Fiber Optics and Paolo Macchiarini's infamous plastic trachea.
The concept of the museum was inspired by Samuel West's 2016 visit to Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia. Museum founder and curator Samuel West reportedly registered a domain name for the museum, and later realized he had misspelled the word "museum".

Garth fans: Is the Mid-State Fair doing enough to discourage scalping?
We applaud Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood for agreeing to put on a second show at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles. Even with the additional show, though, chances are there won't be enough tickets to go around.
Consider: The first show sold out in less than 30 seconds — 30 seconds! — and we suspect there will be a huge demand for the second show on July 27. That will likely mean another round of frustration and disappointment for some local fans.
Of course, if fans are willing to pay enough, they can have their pick of tickets on the resale market through outlets like StubHub.com, or on eBay or Craig's List.
Tickets on such sites are going for a staggering $3,356 for prime seats to the Brooks/Yearwood show, to $108 for bleacher seats.
That's just wrong. It's one thing to buy a pair of tickets with the intention of using them—and then have something change. Plans sometimes fall through, so you sell your tickets.
It's another thing to buy tickets for the express purpose of lining your own pockets, denying a bonafide fan an opportunity to buy a ticket for the relatively reasonable ticket price of $73.98 apiece, plus a $6 service charge. (Even that's a financial stretch for many.)
If any entity is going to benefit from overpriced tickets, we would rather it be the fair, which could put the money to good use on improvements to the grounds and buildings.
Mid-State Fair assures us that it's taken steps to discourage scalping.
Ticketmaster, which is selling the Brooks tickets, has "world-class anti-bot technology," fair spokesman Tom Keffury said. (Bots are computer programs that allow vendors to scoop up tickets for the resale market.) Also, purchasers are limited to six tickets each though most concert-goers are buying fewer — on average, each customer purchased 2.3 tickets for Brooks' first show.
And yet, tickets were showing up on resale sites within minutes of the first sale.
Expect a repeat. In fact, tickets to the second show — which don't go on sale until noon Thursday — began appearing online days ago.
StubHub for example, listed two tickets on the front floor, section 604, for $1,599 each on Wednesday. A StubHub agent told us their tickets come from verified sellers who list their tickets with the outlet.
Most ticket brokers we checked on Wednesday weren't guaranteeing exact seats—only the "zone" where the seats are located. And if they can't deliver the tickets, buyers will be issued a refund.
While there was some uncertainty, ticket vendors seemed to have a fairly good idea of how many tickets they will have available. One site, ticketliquadator, advertised Wednesday morning that it had 192 tickets left for Brooks' 10:30 p.m. concert. Again, those tickets officially don't go on sale until noon Thursday.
Scalping stinks. More could and should be done to give local fans the opportunity to buy tickets.
We commend the Mid-State Fair for attracting top notch artists like Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, but we have a couple suggestions for the Mid-State Fair Board to consider the next time it hosts a high-demand show:
▪ Require concert-goers to gain admission with the credit card used to purchase the tickets, rather than a paper ticket. That's already being done at some concerts and sporting events.
▪ Allow a maximum of four — rather than six — tickets per customer.
That may disappoint some concertgoers, but it's the right thing to do.

Beauty vs Beast: Woods, Men
Jason from MNPP here with this week's "Beauty vs Beast" -- I usually try to choose older movies for this series because it's more likely y'all have seen them and have an opinion. That is unless we're talking about great big cultural juggernauts - those are usually safe. It Comes at Night isn't an old movie, and it wasn't so much a cultural juggernaut either, but here we are anyway. The film had a stellar ad campaign (thanks to A24, the king of stellar ad campaigns these days) so it did get some chatter at the time of its release, but it ultimately only made just under 20 million bucks. This is no Avatar.
And yet here on the eve of its release on blu-ray tomorrow I still want to highlight the movie, and I have faith that a good portion of the TFE audience, who already knew Trey Edward Shults' amazing Krisha, was the audience that sought the movie out. For good (I loved it) or for ill (I know a lot of people felt cheated by the ad campaign which baited and switched a supernatural horror film for a tense chamber piece). And you'll maybe have an opinion on who was in the right - Joel Edgerton's homeowner Paul or Christopher Abbott's encroacher Will.
PREVIOUSLY For no reason in particular we hit up Halle Berry's Catwoman for last week's contest but it was her nemesis, the skin-care supervillain played by Sharon Stone, who slinked away with the 65% win - said Eder Arcas:
"... the WINNER here gotta be SHARON STONE, the woman delivers camp like no one else , she`s elegant and graceful cool, because, well, she's Sharon Stone. You always get the feeling she's just about ready to snap a full on crazy - but that kinda IS what is interesting about Sharon Stone. Sort of a female Jack Nicholson, but hotter in heels and a skirt."

Leading Canadian reseller to create 100 new jobs by manufacturing EV Charging solution that maximizes renewable energy generation and improves utility grid reliability
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Further expanding its reach as the leader in internet of things electric vehicle charging solutions, eMotorWerks, an Enel Group company, has announced a new partnership with Autochargers.ca that will result in approximately 100 new manufacturing jobs in Ontario, Canada. The partnership will deliver co-branded and tailored EV charging solutions throughout Canada. The charging solutions will be available through the Autochargers.ca web store and their reseller partners, which include electrical contractors and car dealerships.
"We're pleased to help accelerate Autochargers.ca's existing success in the market through local manufacturing as well as grid services penetration with Canadian utilities," said Valery Miftakhov, founder, and CEO of eMotorWerks. "Together we will offer the best smart-charging products to power the impressive EV adoption growth across Canada."
By partnering with eMotorWerks Autochargers.ca customers will have access to cloud-connected and intelligent charging stations (EVSE) using the JuiceBox charging hardware and WiFi and cloud-connected JuiceNet software platform. With JuiceNet-enabled smart grid optimizations, EV drivers enjoy optimized renewable energy generation by tapping into periods of maximum solar and wind generation to charge their EVs. In certain geographies, drivers can also receive smart grid incentives which leverage scheduled charging. The collaboration allows utilities to shape electric load and thus avoid peak energy costs and improve grid reliability by better managing energy ramps and other peak demand on the grid.
"Scalable EV infrastructure solutions are top of mind for not only utilities, but also partners and advocates of EV adoption," said Gleb Nikiforov, Autochargers.ca CEO and Founder. "That is why we are thankful to the Ontario Prime Minister Kathleen Wynne and the Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca for facilitating such an important development in the greenest province in Canada. By utilizing eMotorWerks' JuiceNet software platform we can deliver a significantly differentiated solution to ensure that drivers are getting the cleanest and lowest cost energy mix possible. We are happy to partner with eMotorWerks and are excited to offer these exciting co-branded products to drivers."
This agreement with Autochargers marks yet another co-branded charging solution partnership for eMotorWerks. This news comes on the heels of the recent acquisition of eMotorWerks by multinational renpower company Enel. Autochargers joins a growing ecosystem of platform partners delivering innovative energy applications atop JuiceNet. Other notable partnerships for eMotorWerks include global EVSE solutions providers AeroVironment, Volta and Webasto, and the cashless payment solution provider Nayax. eMotorWerks has deployed over 25,000 smart-grid charging stations to date, with top-rated products on Amazon and other direct and reseller channels.

Justice: Equity & Dignity - Kyle Hanawalt
Third in series: Why this matters
Over the last couple weeks we have been in series of talks which we are calling: SLIDE Why this matters We have considered how, despite much of the behavior of many of Jesus' followers throughout history, Jesus taught that pronouncing judgments of who is in and who is out is something humans should avoid — that that job is above our pay grade. At this church we take this teaching from Jesus very seriously — we just think it is energy poorly spent pronouncing people in or out here. But: if the focus of this church SLIDE isn't"in vs. out", SLIDE are the stakes pretty low here? Is everything just the same then? Like: It's perfectly nice to want to follow Jesus, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't actually matter that much?
Actually, we don't think so at all. Our experience following Jesus in this church is that setting aside the "in vs. out" question doesn't make faith matter less… It makes faith matter so much more To us, pursuing faith and pursuing a faith community is very high stakes! Not because it's driven by the anxiety around in and out. But, Because, to us, it's been the difference between finding or not finding the kind of lives everyone seems to want -- lives that are deep and full and resilient.
We're touching on a number of ways we find this to be true in this series Today, I want to look at the what, to me, feels like the epitome of high stakes in life... SLIDE Justice
I think we all long to be on the side of justice, to be on the side of peace and opportunity, and fighting against suffering and inequity.
But, frankly it can be hard to know what to do when it comes to issues of Justice.
Like where do we start, there are so many issues out there?
Like the largeness of the issues feels overwhelming.
So, although we might be for justice, it can feel hard to know where to start or what to do. And I think this has a funny thing in our current culture. It's what I call the SLIDE "thoughts and prayers" trap
Which I think these highlight quite hilariously SLIDE
And although those are funny.
I don't want to stay there, I think that leaves us in a place full of cynicism, which also doesn't help anyone.
And I actually personally believe that prayers do make a difference in issues of Justice. Prayer has been at the heart of many social movements However, the way of Jesus was one that always called for action along with prayers Jesus did not just send our prayer to the sick. He went to where the sick were, and sat with them, feed them, included them in community, then laid hands on them. And there prayed for them. So, what can we do, today, that really makes a difference? This is where communities like ours come in Historically, this is the one of the positive inheritances of the church It was churches who organized Busses to Montgomery during the fight for the civil rights It was churches who secretly formed the underground railroad and while publicly fighting for the abolition of slavery. I has been churches that have historically been at the center at caring for those currently experiencing homelessness You see it's communities like ours that can connects us to something larger than ourselves. It is not just us fighting for Justice on our own, we are joining into a larger work, with an impact that goes beyond ourselves. Communities like ours give us the on ramps we need to not fall into the trap of thoughts and prayers, but activate us into actually doing something. SLIDE So, when I think about this in terms of how BLV can help activate us.
I am drawn to Jesus and specifically to two things that stands out about how Jesus approaches issues of justice.
First, He pursues equity over equality Luke 14:12-14 (Jesus) said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just." Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, Luke 6:20 Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Matthew 25:40 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 11:4-6 And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me." We see clearly that Jesus was about caring for those with the most need, the poor, the sick, the marginalized. But, what do I mean when I say that Jesus is about equity not just equality?
Let me share a case study that I think might help… a Case study of my hometown of Evanston, IL which works I think also works as a microcosm of our country at large.
A city that fashions itself as diverse and progressive.
Great-grandmother's generation - the Late 1800s
Evanston started to boom as predominantly well off, white families who worked in the city or worked at the newly founded Northwestern University began to move in.
At this point an area on west side of town,
What you see there as the 5th ward, was created to house the predominantly black Domestic Servants. An area sectioned off by the river on one side and rail-road tracks on the other.
Then in my Grandparents generation the 1930s
There was an intentional of relocating of all black families into The 5th ward.
So any black family that had settled in anywhere else in evanston was moved through, literal bulldozing at times or by the refusal to offer or renew leases or deeds anywhere else in Evanston.
Then in my Parents generation the 1960-70s
Evanston, which always took pride in it's progressive identity decided that it wanted to be one of the first places in the US to Integrate schools
At this point the 5th ward had an elementary school of entirely black students.
And the other neighborhoods surrounding it had schools of mostly wealthy white students
The district brought in a new Superintendent who got buy in from everybody White community & Black community to make this work
So, they started to Bus Black kids out
But, this is when things started to take a turn
They also started to bus white kids into formerly 5th ward school
A two way busing. White and black kids both ways. Makes sense to me
And then the wealthy white family started to make fus. The main complaint had to do with lunches. Because remember, Evanston is progressive, we would never say the issue was about race. The complaint was that because of the busing, kids could not walk home for lunch anymore, which was common at that time.
All of this was entirely too inconvenient for the white families
So, the predominately white school board fired the Superintendent and brought in someone who ended the two way busing and set up what is the case today.
The black school was closed, and they started one way busing, just the black kids out into the formerly white schools. I don't have time to fully go over the impact of this, but just consider what it would be like to have the black students being bused out of their neighborhood, and into a school in the wealthy white neighborhood where all white kids can walk. Like so many places, Evanston was happy to be progressive as long as it doesn't cost anything or make any one in positions of privilege uncomfortable So, this is where my story comes in. SLIDE I was not a great student. I had learning disabilities, I wasn't motivated. I didn't do homeworks, got in trouble a lot. However, I had people around me, teachers, family, adults who cared who poured belief in to me. When I failed a class, I had adults telling me "you're still smart" And that continued well into my teen years, sustaining me long enough so that when I wanted to turn things around I had the self-belief I could However, this was not the story of many I grew up with. I grew up with the majority of my friends being black, and when we they, like I didn't do the homework, they were not usually told, you are still smart. And when they, like I was sent to the principals for the 3rd time in a week, they were usually not told that they are still a good kid. They usually got called troublemakers. And now when I look back at the kids I grew up with, The kids I went to elementary school with. There is a clear difference between where my white friends have ended up, and where my black friends have ended up. Now this is not an absolute thing, I have black friends who have gone on to great things, and I have white friends who are in jail.
However, as a whole it is hard to look past the role that race seems to have played in the outcomes of students passing through the same system Which brings us to today - SLIDE Evanston still has huge gaps in outcomes of white students and Black and Latino students.
According to a study that was just done a couple months ago out of Stanford - In terms of life outcomes, future success. - the Evanston Educational system is the best education in the country... if you are white. If you are black or Latino, It is distinctively not. According to the district's most recent reports. From Grades 3-8, approximately 10 percent of Black students are on-track for college readiness in math and 20 percent are on-track for college readiness in reading Opposed to over 80% white students who are on-track for college readiness in both reading and math So, Is what we have here an achievement gap? As it is often called I have recently been really liking a new term to talk about this - popularized by Gloria Ladson-Billings SLIDE Educational debt, children have inherited a generational debt which we have not paid down. Hopefully, you have seen in the Evanston Case study, how this debt is incurred and handed down. In fact this is a term that I use a lot in my other Job that actually works in Evanston Schools called Books & Breakfast. Books & Breakfast recognizes that this gap in student outcomes as a result of generations of educational debt. And so, we offer a healthy breakfast, help with homework, and social emotional care to kids who need additional support. Particularly kids coming from this 5th ward neighborhood. We want to prepare kids for the school day physically, emotionally and academically. And so, when I show up at the school each morning, I think about equity. I think about it when one child walks in who has received these generations of educational debt. And another child walks in who is a child of a NW Professor and has the protective factors of being wealthy, of being white, of having parents who have free time and have successful educational experiences themselves Now when these two walk into the room, would justice be served by treating them the same, by giving them the equal amounts of support I don't think so, I think justice is making sure that the child that walks in with generations of educational debt is given some additional support and attention. This is the difference between equity and equality Equality treats everyone like it is an equal playing field, that we start on level ground Equity, recognizes the reality that ground is anything but level, and equal opportunity is giving attention and support where it is most needed.
Which will almost always feel like a threat to those in position of privilege because it requires them to sacrifice something. Sacrifice an opportunity so someone else can have it.
Sacrifice comfort so that others can be included. Sacrifice, because if it stays as it is, the educational, the social debt will stay the same. It will never get paid down, only grow I think this is how Jesus operated.
When he says blessed are the poor, he is talking about equity. When he says, that which you do for the least of these, you do for me, he is talking about equity.
When spent the vast majority of his time giving attention to those without status, those without power, those without wealth, I think he was living out equity. When Jesus said that he is to be good news to the poor And blessed is the one who is not offended by him. I don't he is talking about belief systems, or how the Gospel can offend.
I think he is addressing the reality that equity can feel offensive to those whom have privilege, those in power. And blessed is the one who is privileged and is not offended, but joins him in a fight for justice, for equity Jesus values all of us the same, he loves us the same, he sees each of us as worthy of living a life that is flourishing But, that is done through equity not equality.
To say blessed are the poor, is not saying that we shouldn't care about rich. Or that he doesn't love them. Or the parallel I can't help but seeing here To say black lives matter, is not saying white lives don't. It is saying that if we do nothing, if we keep things the way they are, the world is communicating that the poor don't matter, our experience of reality will communicate black lives just matter less. Without action or change, reality time and time again will show that those with and power and privilege are more blessed and matter more. But, Jesus is about equity, so blessed are the poor and black lives matter!
Secondly, what I learn from how Jesus goes about tackling issues of Justice.
He raises the dignity of those he serves, he doesn't take it away.
Jesus - On top of what he says about caring for those who have the most need, we see in his interactions that he leaves people with a greater sense of dignity and worth.
In Gospel of Luke alone, after people leave interactions with Jesus where they were healed or freed, it describes how people experienced him with phrases like
They went away proclaiming his name
They were amazed at his goodness
They went away rejoicing
Every time Jesus cares for someone in need they leave with a greater sense of self worth, of value, of dignity.
But sadly this is not the experience of many today.
From what I have seen the primary experience of people who have need that are helped by others. Particularly here in Chicago, but I've seen it Washington DC, in Kenya, Australia, Korea, Brazil, Mexico.
Time and time again, I have seen people who in their effort to help, or "serve" actual steal or demean the dignity of those they are helping This is a big deal in my work with Books & Breakfast. For most part, the kids who are coming into my morning program are multigenerational Evanstonians. Their parents, their aunties, their grandparents all grew up going to these same schools. Actually this one neighborhood I have been talking about is the least transient in Evanston. Meaning, in most other areas people move in and out, with no clue of the history, whereas, in this neighborhood, you have generations who have lived in the same house. And the unfortunate truth is that humans like to see themselves as the heroes, see themselves as the saviors. And over the years and generations, as mostly rich white people have tried to help. They have done so in a way that makes them the hero of the story, and leaves those who received help as feeling like lesser for it.
Like they had to give up some dignity to receive help. Just think about how that develops mistrust, how that gets in the way of school communities from working well together. And honestly, it's bullshit Sorry, to swear, but if feels appropriate. What I have learned from doing Books & Breakfast is that I get way more out of my interactions with these kids than what they get from me. I am changed by them. I see the world in fuller way because of them. They help me see more joy and laughter, and beauty, and honesty in life. Everyday when we have adult volunteers come in to help the kids with homework, the kids appreciate it, they really do. But, it is the adults who walk away feeling a deeper and fuller experience of life. They are no hero, there is just as much for them on the table as there is for the kids. Maybe they don't need help putting food on the table, or need help understanding math, but they need help in life.
PAUSE The life Jesus leads us into asks us to acknowledge that we have need, that we are flawed. And when we are familiar with our own brokeness, our own need, we simply can't put ourself as the hero.
Take away - Do something (We a church are active in 3 main ways, with which we can connect you.) Equity in education Before school - B&B After School - Family Matters Refugees moving to a new country World Relief Neighbors currently experiencing homelessness Friday Warming center Neighboring sunday - Nov 5 So, on you connect card today. Help us help you get connected to something that is tackling issues of equity.
If you would stand with me. draw us to the individual-spiritual implications of what you're talking about -- this is about our spiritual health, our ability to feel connection with Jesus

OpenSSL developers have to re-release the fix for a serious vulnerability in the software's ASN.1 implementation that could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially run arbitrary code on a remote machine.
The updated fix only applies to version 0.9.8v; all of the other previously affected versions already have protection with the existing patch.
Scripting Language Security Fixes
Ruby Fixes RubyGems Security
OpenSSL Closes Security Holes
OpenSSL Not Completely Secure
OpenSSL released the original advisory and fix for the CVE-2012-2110 vulnerability last week, fixing the bug in versions 0.9.8, 1.0.1a and 1.0.0i. But after releasing the fixes, Red Hat discovered the fix for version 0.9.8 didn't completely address the vulnerability, hence the new patch.
"The asn1_d2i_read_bio function in crypto/asn1/a_d2i_fp.c in OpenSSL before 0.9.8v, 1.0.0 before 1.0.0i, and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1a does not properly interpret integer data, which allows remote attackers to conduct buffer overflow attacks, and cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact, via crafted DER data, as demonstrated by an X.509 certificate or an RSA public key," according to the description of the bug in the National Vulnerability Database.
OpenSSL developers are encouraging users to upgrade to the patched versions as soon as they can.

CMSWire recently posted an interesting poll about Digital Asset Management. For those commissioning DAM projects, "What is your biggest Digital Asset Management challenge?"
The answer options to the poll question include:
- Taxonomy/Metadata development
- Selecting a vendor or product
- Building the business case or defining ROI
- The usability of the system
- User adoption of the system
A comment to the poll provides a good summary of the poll results after 2 days of data collection… "Usability of the system, User adoption of the system, and Taxonomy/Metadata development fall out as 1, 2 and 3…"
This poll couldn't be more timely as two key areas for DAM development and enhancement in 2010 at Widen are Usability (UI) and Analytics.
Let's talk "Usability"
Usability for a web based DAM system means that a user who logs in three or four times per year should know exactly what to do to find and retrieve an asset based on experiences working with other common web applications. In Widen's world of DAM, clients generally have a few different groups of users. There are the power users or Admins who usually represent the smallest group in number but use the full features of the DAM system – ingestion through distribution. There's typically another tier of regular users that use the DAM library with some regularity, but for more common purposes of finding and retrieving digital assets. Then, there are the hundreds or thousands of users that only login a handful of times each year. It's that long tail of "once in awhile" users that the system should cater to in terms of ease-of-use. Other bells and whistles for more advanced users should exist, but shouldn't over-complicate the UI, nor be too overbearing for the general purposes of the system—ingest, collaborate, manage, find, retrieve and distribute assets.
To provide a Widen customer example of user adoption, Steelcase—the global office furniture leader—had over 9,000 logins within the first two months of going live with their DAM solution. Interestingly, Widen serves five of the top 15 office furniture manufacturers. This type of user adoption drives the demand for DAM throughout the supply chain. While CMS Watch, an analyst firm who talks to DAM customers, reported that Widen has a "clean, well-designed user interface that appeals to business users," we still recognize the magnitude of usability and opportunities for improvements in UI design.
Diving Deeper into DAM Data with "Analytics"
An Analytics application speaks directly to the business case for DAM endorsers and senior leaders who look at how DAM supports top-line revenue growth or impacts the bottom line. Digital Asset Management ROI is measured in a number of ways with hard dollar and soft dollar savings. Common buckets for measuring DAM ROI include: how DAM improves processes, how DAM reduces costs, how DAM increases revenues, how DAM adds new profit centers, and how DAM protects the brand. The time to realizing a DAM ROI is predominantly driven by two things – user adoption and subsequently asset usage and asset repurposing. Leveraging tracking, reporting and analytics tools offers more intelligence and thus greater ability to measure and prove ROI. For that reason, Widen developed four key ratios that help customers watch and evaluate adoption and success:
- Digital Asset Activity Ratio: A comparison between the quantity of assets that have been ordered and the amount of assets stored in the DAM system. This ratio provides insight into the relationship between download activity and all the assets stored in the digital asset library.
- Repurposing Ratio: A comparison between the active digital assets and the quantity of assets ordered. This provides insight into the amount of content repurposing that is taking place over a period of time. Repurposing continues to be a key component of digital asset management value.
- User Activity Ratio: A comparison between the total number of logins and the quantity of users that have logged in provides information about visitation frequency. This metric also provides insight into how frequently users visit to browse or check back on new branded materials.
- Digital Asset Consumption Ratio: Comparing the quantity of files ordered to the users that logged into the system provides information on the amount of data being consumed by each user over a specific time period.
So we've touched on the metrics for monitoring ROI once DAM is deployed, but how do we build the business case?
Finding It All While Saving A Bundle
If you're unsure of the costs that come with unmanaged data, consider these factors, and then apply them to your own organization.
- Companies spend an average of $8,200 per person per year on file management activities. These include searching, verification, organization, backup, and security.
- Creative professionals spend an average of one out of every 10 hours of their time on file management. Their prime activity: searching.
- The average creative person looks for a media file 83 times a week and fails to find it 35% of the time.
A digital asset management solution could help alleviate some of these costs. According to findings from GISTICS Research, a DAM solution can cut the amount of time spent on file management by more than 85%. And rather than failing to find a file 35% of the time, users will not find something only 5% of the time.
Visit the https://www.widen.com/roi for more assistance in putting together a DAM ROI.
Our thanks to all customers who continue to provide feedback and ideas for making the Widen Media Collective more valuable and enjoyable. Widen customers can expect more specific communications to come in the next few months about the User Interface (UI) enhancements and new Analytics application.

Choosing a Home For The First Time
Deciding to buy a home is never an easy task. If you are already sure about it, good for you because it is the first thing that you need to decide and it is probably the most important in this process. Like a nurse looking for a specific color of scrubs, like let's say green scrubs, you too must define the parameters of the things that you want, especially if you are a first time home buyer. Using the Internet, in this case, will always be an excellent way to start because you can easily find sellers without going into too much work of searching for them. One thing to know if you want to buy a home is by being able to select a home even if only two days of canvassing. Some would tell you to think about it first, and it should take you at least a year to decide, but this only connotes that you are not sure yet if you want to buy one or not.

Somewhere We Will Meet/
When I entered college, I think I can safely say that it was not just an expectation from my family that I would, but that everyone in my family and extended family viewed higher education as an unequivocal positive asset to individuals and society. My family had the entire range of higher education experiences — from my parents meeting at a community college, to my dad continuing to complete his BA, to my mom returning years later as what we would now call a non-traditional student to complete her degree, to a great uncle with a Ph.D.
Now, though, higher education does not enjoy that kind of ubiquitous esteem. I don't pretend to know all the reasons why, but I do think some of it stems from higher education's lack of engagement with the community and with its representatives. As Jeffrey Selingo notes in a recent article, this lack of engagement has not only resulted in decreased public respect for higher education, but real-world ramifications like the tax bill, which targeted higher education in a number of ways. He points out that this was not always the case: schools used to speak to the societal benefit of higher education, but
Lobbying also became much more fractured across higher education as schools fixated on parochial needs. Lobbying turned into a transaction, with fewer college leaders making the case for the larger societal good that higher education provides.
I am less concerned with Selingo's focus on lobbying efforts than I am with this other concern: that college leaders are not doing enough to demonstrate "the larger societal good that higher education provides."
I think there are a few causes to this. First, colleges and universities have (often rightly) been called on to prove the return on investment from students and their families. Thus, much of their focus has been on demonstrating in quantifiable ways how a college education will result in a good living for graduates. That is certainly a "societal good" — a prepared and educated workforce — but I think Selingo is talking about something more.
Second, I mentioned that higher education have had to prove their worth in quantifiable ways. This emphasis (some might say obsession) with quantification leaves out the qualitative benefits of higher education that I think Selingo is perhaps pointing too. There are things like citizenship, empathy, appreciation of diversity, appreciation of beauty and art that higher education also provides, but they are hard to quantify and also hard to directly connect to getting a job (though every employer talks about the soft skills required of good employees).
I think these qualitative benefits are more apt to provide a "larger societal good" than just making sure that a graduate can get a job. That they are harder to prove or explain just means that leaders in higher education need to do a better job of doing so.

At present, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 12% on payment made for the under-construction property as well as ready-to-move-in flats where completion certificate has not been issued at the time of sale.
According to officials, the GST council is considering to lower the GST to 5 percent from 12 percent on under-construction flats and houses.
However, the properties which are completed and have been issued with completion certificate at the time of sale are GST free. The real estate buyers do not have to pay GST on those properties.
According to reports, the builders are paying inputs for construction in cash and are not passing on benefits to consumers, so that's one of the reasons to take this action.
The construction material used for construction, which include, capital goods and input services attract 18 percent of GST and the cement attracts 28 percent.
The officials said, "The potential homebuyers feel they are not getting benefited under GST. Certain proposals have come before the Council and the law and fitment committee will look into the matter and the matter will come up in the next council meeting. There was a total consensus that something needs to be done."
However, GST has levied 8 percent in case of affordable housing projects like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission, Rajiv Awas Yojana, or any other housing schemes of state governments. Moreover, the GST can be adjusted by builders against its ITC.
The officials said, after offsetting ITC, for such affordable housing projects the builder or developer in most cases will not be required to pay GST in cash as the builder would have enough ITC in his books of account to pay the output GST.

Music brings us together just long enough to remember "Oh yeah, that guy's human too – he knows the words to this song too." There's a great video circulating on Facebook of an entire Green Day crowd waiting for the show to start, singing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody together. 65,000 of them. A stunning video – this is the power of music and why some of us devote our lives to serving its happening. It's a far more precarious trek through the human journey to define each other by our differences rather than have them be a footnote and some color in with our dealings and workings together. Music tilts things back in that proper perspective for a while. If these people matter to each other a little more after the music stops, then all those involved in the making of and bringing to that moment those people and that music – whatever else may factor in – are a part of some seed of solution in a world awash in its troubled gardens.
I remember years ago I stopped to ask about an old converted school bus in a yard with a for sale sign on it. The door was answered by a young guy my age. He had hair like mine. He had a Fender Stratocaster on the couch. It quickly became apparent he was visiting from points far south of Texas or Mexico, so we had no common language to get in the way. But there were two guitars, and we jammed like members of the same band. The bus was cool, but I was a broke-ass musician young & hungry, living the dream, renting a room, writing my future verses by bare bulb on the tricky side of town. So I didn't buy it and I don't know if this guy's sister is still with the hip cat that owned it and traveled in it now 28 years later, and I don't know what became of Jorge Quintana. But it was one more lesson the music taught me along the path between finding that John Lee Hooker record in the basement as a kid and "being here now."
These thoughts were written while the song "Four Cornered Room" off of an old album by a great band called War played in the background. The three somehow tie together through harmony of notes and hearts and the threads of lives taking their paths through each other winding together like some kind of tapestry being woven of us as we go.

David Seaman To National Press Club DC: "You're A Different Species!"
It's true. I believe, with every fiber of my being, Pizzagate is real. Our vetted mini-documentary on the subject was viewed more than 225,000 times before YouTube banned us, thus deleting that video, and the other 504 videos on our channel. The mini-documentary can still be found & watched on Bitchute here. We stand by our research, and the WikiLeaks emails of John Podesta are genuine. He has not denied that. I believe members of the press in Washington tried to cover it up for the past year, and character attacked/gangstalked those of us who KNOW and cannot UN-KNOW.
I also strongly believe some members of that same "free" press are compromised by a wealthy pedophile ring. How does that feel? Is that what you freaks went to journalism school for? To deceive your fellow citizens, weaken your country, and coverup child rape rings for rich people? Absolutely pathetic. FULCRUM is going to eat these losers' lunches. They have verified blue checkmarks on Twitter, and not a thing else. Video not working?

Our partners in the exhibit were Global Heritage Fund and The Shepard's Family Textile Co-op. For the past year ATLAS has been researching Dong Textiles in Dali Village, Guizhou in collaboration with GHF. Setting up in a small hutong courtyard space in Baitaisi - this research was presented during BJDW alongside other innovative programming such as a symposium, workshops, and shop.
The symposium, Thinking by Hand, hosted at The Global School on September 26 featured a range of speakers from media, to not-for-profit organizations, to heritage textile entrepreneurs all reflecting on the challenges and opportunities of working with traditional textile production in today's contemporary design context. A report on the symposium proceedings will be available shortly, please check back for the download in the coming weeks.
Further information about the exhibition is available here.
Please contact us for a copy of the press release or for other press inquiries.
about our exhibition partners:
The Global Heritage Fund is an innovative not-for-profit working to preserve tangible and intangible cultural heritage with project sites across the world. Their work in Dali village seeks to create a holistic approach to preservation tackling both the tangible and intangible heritage alive in the landscape.
The Shepard's Family Textile Co-op is located in the same region of Guizhou and the exhibit featured their innovative dye and textile work. The co-op has spent the last ten years building a range of expertise on Dong textile and natural dye techniques.

Investing in your home town
For those fortunate to have been successful in life, there is the great privilege of being able to financially support their local community or a cause close to their heart.
I was reminded of this while visiting Spearville in Kansas recently. Despite only having a population of 900, this small agricultural town located seventeen miles from Dodge City, is benefiting from a $20 million legacy generating around $200,000 in annual revenue for distribution.
Yes, I have to admit that it took me a moment to process when I first heard that staggering amount of $20 million. But then I started focusing on the intent which everyone is capable of.
A lifelong resident of Spearville, Tom Feist founded Feist Publications in 1978 which grew into a highly successful business and a major employer for this small community and across the State of Kansas. Prior to his death in 2011 he set in motion something that he knew would continue to give back to his home town well into the future. A Board of Directors was hand-picked by Tom and his wishes clearly stipulated on what type of projects the Foundation should support.
Operating since 2014, only time will tell how Tom's legacy will play out as proposals from local community groups are processed and implemented. Given his business background, knowledge of the community and careful consideration, I suspect it will be far more effective than any government grant program. Already there are signs that the declining population is reversing (the 2010 census noted the population as only 773 while the 2017 figures are estimated by county officials at around 900).
Tom also gave generously during his lifetime. We see it all the time in Australia as well. Individuals and businesses investing in community projects and assisting start-ups in their home town.
And the potential doesn't end there.
When it comes to financing community initiatives and start-up businesses to strengthen a rural town it is natural to look to those who live locally but don't discount those who may have moved away.
No matter how long ago you lived in a rural town, there is always a strong bond and memories that can never be erased particularly if you were raised or started your business career there. This is why we have seen founder of the Allied Medical Group, Dr Geoffrey Edelsten, chatting with locals at the Birchip races. His first posting as a country general practitioner was in Birchip!
It never ceases to amaze me when I am approached at city events by former country residents keen to chat about their home towns. They have fond memories and are genuinely interested in what is happening. Potentially they could be your biggest investor …. but only if you stay in touch and let them know what your plans are.
This is the beauty of social media which allows ex residents to follow local news from afar. It is also why we should widely consult on community initiatives and let people know what they can support. You never know who is talking to who and what they would like to support.
When we have the capacity to give, there is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to support something bigger than yourself, whether it be giving a helping hand to someone starting out in business or upgrading a community facility.
And, if you don't have the capacity for your own foundation or trust, and a tax-deductible receipt is an enticement, then the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal or your local Community Foundation will always be happy to have a conversation.

By Mike Bills, MS PT
So what are some signs that you may have pulled a muscle? You will generally notice some level of discomfort either right away while you are doing the activity or in the following 24 hours. This is what we typically brush off as "typical soreness" after going for a long walk, standing for a long period of time, running, doing yard work, etc. However, too often, people don't pay attention to this post-activity soreness because they think it is normal. What it is is the body's way of telling you that something isn't quite right, that no matter how little discomfort there is, there was some level of injury.
Additionally, you will most likely notice some stiffness and difficulty moving the body part surrounding the pulled muscle. Again, this is your body's way of trying to protect itself and give you a warning sign that things aren't right. The stiffness is the body protectively shutting down the muscle so that it doesn't get asked to do that much work again until it has a chance to recover. Stiffness is still a "warning bell" going off that there was some level of an injury.
It's important to know that it's not okay to experience even the smallest level of soreness and stiffness for even a short period of time. If this soreness goes away within 24 hours, then the "pull" was very minimal. If you are repeatedly pulling a muscle over the course of time, you are significantly increasing the chance of a more serious injury. The best thing to do here is to make sure that you stretch and strengthen the muscle to the necessary degree. This is where physical therapy is so helpful. As physical therapists, we specialize in injury prevention. Pulling a muscle is an excellent time to see a physical therapist at Loudoun Sports Therapy Center to learn what you should and need to be doing to prevent the problem from ever occurring again while also ensuring the pulled muscle heals properly and completely.
If soreness and stiffness continue past the 24 hour mark, it starts to impact the the mechanics of the surrounding joints and body parts. You are at an increased risk for a ligament injury, tearing the muscle, contributing to arthritis, etc. These all become very strong possibilities. If you have stiffness and/or soreness for more than 24 hours, you should definitely consult a physical therapist. Your physical therapist will ensure that the area gets the proper blood supply, that tissues unlock and begin to heal immediately and that the mechanics of the joint are preserved so as to prevent other injury and more.
In cases where a muscle is pulled significantly, you can actually experience things like:
- Sharp pain
- Bruising
- Inability to move that body part at all
- Weakness
These are all signs that the injury is pretty severe. In these cases, you need to see a medical professional to make sure that the injury begins a healing process right away. The fact that there is sharp pain, bruising, difficulty moving and other symptoms is the first sign that the body will not and cannot start that healing process on its own. In order for the healing process to occur quickly, properly and fully, it will require the hands-on skills of a physical therapist. Physical therapy will ensure that the area gets the proper blood supply, that tissues unlock and begin to heal immediately, that mechanics of the joint are preserved so as to prevent other injury and more.
So in conclusion, if you suspect that you have pulled a muscle and it is lasting for more than 24 hours, or if has happened more than once in the past 6 months, or more than 3 times total, now is the time to get it checked out. Just like you would take your car in when the 'check engine' light comes on, find out what the issue is and why it keeps happening before it turns into a big problem that takes you off the road of enjoying life for a longer period of time.

Masterful Marquez Completes Perfect American Dozen
Marc Marquez scored an awesome first victory of 2018 in bright Texan sunshine, moving himself into second position in the World Championship.
Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team RC213V) scored an awesome first victory of 2018 in bright Texan sunshine today, moving himself into second position in the World Championship. Honda's second victory of the year also extended the company's advantage in the Constructors World Championship.
Marquez's success was the 25-year-old Spaniard's 12th consecutive win on American asphalt, which comprise six successive MotoGP victories at COTA, three at Indianapolis, one at Laguna Seca and two Moto2 wins at Indy. It was also his 36th premier-class win, which puts him one success behind Mike `The Bike' Hailwood and two behind Repsol Honda's 2011 MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner. Fittingly, today's race was the number 93 rider's 93rd MotoGP start.
This was another perfect display from the reigning World Champion who started from the second row of the grid, took the lead on the first lap and was never troubled by his rivals, none of whom could match his own talent or the performance of his Honda RC213V around this most challenging of circuits. With two of the 20 laps to go he was almost eight seconds clear of nearest-challenger Andrea Iannone, before easing his pace on the final lap to cross the line 3.560 seconds ahead.
Marc Marquez
During his victory lap Marquez carried a number 69 flag to pay tribute to Honda's 2006 MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, who last year lost his life in a cycling accident.
If Marquez's latest success was heroic, so was the performance of team-mate Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team RC213V) who two weeks ago broke his right wrist in an accident that wasn't his fault. The 32-year-old former 125cc and 250cc World Champion underwent surgery in Spain and many people expected him to miss this weekend's race, so he could get fully fit for the subsequent Spanish GP. However, at the last minute Pedrosa decided to travel to the US and at least attempt to ride. Today, he did much, much more than that, spending much of the race in the group battling for fifth place. At the finish he was seventh, a truly remarkable ride and result.
Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda CASTROL RC213V) went into today's race leading the MotoGP World Championship after an excellent victory in Argentina on April 8. The 32-year-old Briton was going well, in the middle of an enthralling contest for fifth place, until he slid off at turn 12. He bravely remounted to finish in 19th position.
MotoGP rookie and former Moto2 winner Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda IDEMITSU RC213V) had another great day. The 26-year-old from Chiba finished 14th and top rookie, after a very well-ridden race.
Honda's other two rookies had a more challenging afternoon at COTA, which is arguably the most complex MotoGP track of them all, with 20 corners per lap, or 400 during a 20-lap race! Thomas Luthi (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS RC213V) finished the race in 18th, three places out of the points, while Franco Morbidelli (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS RC213V) finished 21st, outside the points for the first time in his MotoGP career, following promising rides to 12th and 14th at the first two races.
The Honda-powered Moto2 race delivered a thrilling 18 laps of action this afternoon, with Francesco Bagnaia (Sky Racing Team VR46 Kalex) winning a tense duel with Alex Marquez (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS Kalex) to retake the World Championship lead. The 21-year-old's second career Moto2 win and his second of the season came after a lengthy chase of early leader Marquez, who had started the race from pole position.
Italian Bagnaia briefly took the lead from Marquez several times in the second half of the race before finally asserting control in the final five laps, after which he was able to leave the Spaniard trailing by 2.462 seconds at the flag. The race was a typically hectic contest, with Marquez unable to relax in second place because he had Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Ajo KTM) closing rapidly in the last few laps, after starting from 12th on the grid. At the finish the Portuguese was just over a second behind Marquez to score his second consecutive third-place finish.
If anything, the fight for the last seven positions in the top ten was even more intense, with just six seconds covering from fourth to tenth. A chaotic first lap included several incidents, one of which dropped reigning Moto3 World Champion Joan Mir (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS Kalex) all the way back to 19th position. Step by step the 20-year-old worked his way through the pack, achieving some remarkable overtakes on his more experienced rivals. At the checkered flag he was fourth, less than two seconds off the podium, after getting the better of promising 18-year-old Spaniard Iker Lecuona (Swiss Innovative Investors KTM), who beat Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Ajo KTM) by less than a tenth of a second.
Argentine GP winner Mattia Pasini (Italtrans Racing Team Kalex) ran with the lead group but slipped back as the race went on to finish seventh, which keeps him second in the World Championship, albeit equal on points with Marquez. Jorge Navarro (Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 Kalex) took the flag a second behind Pasini and a fraction ahead of Dominique Aegerter (Kiefer Racing KTM).
Lorenzo Baldassarri (Pons HP40 Kalex) completed the top ten, just 11.497 seconds behind Bagnaia, further proof of the entertainingly close racing that's possible when the entire grid uses identically prepared Honda CBR600 engines.
Jorge Martin (Del Conca Gresini Moto3 Honda NSF250RW) won the first race of the day, scoring a vital Moto3 victory that moved him into the Moto3 World Championship lead, ahead of Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0 Honda NSF250RW) who had a difficult ride to eighth place. Honda's second victory of 2018 extends the company's advantage in the Constructors World Championship.
For much of the race there were up to a dozen riders in the front group, with the lead changing constantly, mostly between Martin's team-mate Fabio Di Giannantonio (Del Conca Gresini Moto3 Honda NSF250RW) and Argentine Grand Prix winner Marco Bezzecchi. However, 20-year-old Spaniard Martin was always lurking in the midst of the lead pack, awaiting his moment. He had chosen a harder-compound rear tire, so he was biding his time until the final five laps when he moved into the lead and then set about building a small gap, preventing his rivals from making any final-lap attacks. He started the last lap with a 0.9 second advantage and had stretched that to 1.4 seconds at the flag. It was the third GP win of Martin's career.
Enea Bastianini (Leopard Racing Honda NSF250RW) rode a superb race to second place, fighting his way through the pack as the race went on. At half-distance of the 17-lap event the 20-year-old Italian was in eighth place, but he cleverly picked off his rivals to get the better of Bezzecchi in the final laps.
Di Giannantonio took the checkered flag in fifth spot, less than a tenth of a second off a podium finish. Canet, who led the title chase with two fine runner-up finishes at the opening two races, was also in the lead group but slowly slipped backwards as the race went on, having gambled on a softer rear tire. He finished in eighth place, less than eight seconds behind the winner, but that was enough to secure second overall, seven points behind Martin.
Japanese pair Tatsuki Suzuki (Sic58 Squadra Corse Honda NSF250RW) and Ayumu Sasaki (Petronas Sprinta Racing Honda NSF250RW) both had great rides, fighting in the lead group and learning plenty. Suzuki, 20-years-old from Chiba, ended the race in ninth spot, less than half a second behind Canet. Sasaki, 17-years-old from Yokosuka, finished 11th, only two seconds down on his compatriot.
Following 2018's season-opening three flyaway races in Qatar, Argentina and the USA, the MotoGP paddock packs up and heads to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez on May 6.
Dani Pedrosa
Marc Marquez, Repsol Honda Team: 1st
"This weekend I really gave it my all. Today I was totally focused, as I wanted to remain perfect here at Austin. I don't think that ever in my career have I had such a race, pushing so hard from the first lap. Today I felt that this was the right way and was able to do it, in part because my bike's setup helped me a lot, so thanks to everyone in my garage as they've worked really well and hard. Yesterday I was a bit ill, and even today I didn't feel I had perfect energy, but it turned out to be a good race anyway - a lonely one, but sometimes it goes like that. Last night when I was going to sleep, I thought about the strategy, and today I followed it. Even in the warm-up, I tried to simulate the first laps of the race, going out on new tires and with a full tank. That was in the plan. I told the team that I wanted to try to lead the race from the beginning and pull a gap. So in the first three or four laps, I pushed a bit more than usual, and then I managed the advantage. Today I had special motivation. There was a lot of pressure, but I like the pressure, as it helps to keep focused. I felt a special feeling on the last lap, when I passed in front of Nicky's flag. So, I'm happy with the result and for recovering ground in the Championship, but now we go back to Europe, where we must be consistent, because look who's leading the standings: Dovi, the most consistent rider! The feeling with my bike is very good, and the same has been true in Qatar and Argentina, so we'll try and continue this way."
Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda Team: 7th
"I'm more than satisfied with having been able to finish this race and get some good points, and I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me in these days, as well as all the fans for the support they gave me. Honestly, before coming here I wasn't even sure I would be able to do the practices. It was a tough weekend, especially at this track; in some other circuits you might handle the situation a little better with a bit less effort, but this one is super-physical. I wasn't able to enjoy the race like I usually do, even though I took some painkillers that eased the pain a little. That allowed me to focus a bit more, though I don't have much strength. I had a decent start and tried to stick with the guys in front as much as possible. In the end I struggled to control my bike, but I managed and I'm happy with the outcome. Now we have some more days to try and recover as much as possible before Jerez. It's a track I like, so we'll see how much better I'll feel."
Cal Crutchlow, LCR Honda CASTROL: 19th
"Of course today we're very unsatisfied with the result. Going into the race we were leading the championship and coming out we're now fourth after I crashed on lap seven. It was a disappointing end to what was a good weekend and the great pace we set, so I'm sorry for the team. I made a mistake in the last corner, I didn't have a great feeling with the brake lever this weekend and I wanted to try and make a good run on Johann [Zarco] that lap and get past him to the podium fight. I definitely had the pace, but I made a mistake and went down. We now have to look forward as a team to the next race in Jerez, but I want to thank my crew for their hard work as we were on the pace throughout the weekend and during the race. We just look ahead and take the positives now."
Takaaki Nakagami, LCR Honda IDEMITSU: 14th
"It was another points-scoring finish which I think is positive. But after our qualifying result we were thinking about the possibility of finishing in the top ten, but the race proved to be quite difficult. Honestly, I was hoping for a better result, but finishing as the best rookie is a nice feeling. Thanks again to my team and to Honda for the great job they have done this weekend for me. I'm looking forward to the next race!"
Thomas Luthi, Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS: 18th
"It is so difficult at this track in turn one when you start back on the grid, it was a big mess there. I lost some positions and was stuck back there for many laps. By mid-race I had problems with the front and it was difficult to turn the bike. At this track we never found a really comfortable set-up although the work from the team is brilliant in helping me to learn as a rookie. We are motivated to improve."
Franco Morbidelli, Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS: 21st
"I struggled a lot during this race to ride the way I like to and now we need to understand the reasons why and work to improve. I feel I need to find my own way to set-up and ride this bike for my style. At the moment I am not there."
Francesco Bagnaia, Sky Racing Team VR46: 1st
"The weekend had not started in the best way. The crash on Friday was very bad and, in the impact with the bike, I took a big hit on the left side of my body. I was not 100 percent, but we did not give up and we continued to work for qualifying where we made a great step forward. It's the second win in three races for me and the team, which means we are working in the right direction. This result, here in Austin, has a different value than Qatar. I have always struggled on this track, I had to adapt my riding style to this layout and today I managed the race in the best way. I had a good started, but I tried to keep the margin for the last laps. When I approached Alex [Marquez] I realized that he had more difficulty in pushing, I waited a few minutes and I tried to overtake him."
Alex Marquez, Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS: 2nd
"This was a very important podium as we prepare for the European races with the tracks that more suited to my riding style. I was able to run up front for many laps, but the windy conditions changed a lot today and I had to save some crashes with the bike moving around. I did my 100 percent, so I am happy for this result."
Miguel Oliveira, Red Bull KTM Ajo: 3rd
"I am very tired after today's race, because it was a very interesting, demanding round, and also very tough when starting from a position so far back on the grid. The start was not easy, but in the end I was able to avoid contact with other riders at the first corner. Later, as the laps went on, it was difficult because we were sliding around a lot. It was not the perfect weekend for us, but we are back on the podium for the second consecutive race and this makes me happy. Now it's time to go back to Europe and face a circuit where we have ridden a lot: Jerez."
Jorge Martin, Del Conca Gresini Moto3: 1st
"The race was very hard at the beginning because I opted for the hard tire. I did well in staying calm and avoiding any danger at the beginning, but then with five laps to go I gave 100 percent to try to pull away while setting my pace. It wasn't easy because Bastianini was coming on strong, but today I felt untouchable. I would like to thank the team for giving me a perfect bike!"
Enea Bastianini, Leopard Racing: 2nd
"I'm happy with this podium, I could have also got a podium at the first race in Qatar, if I hadn't made that little mistake. Here in America, finally in the dry, we managed to run a good race, it was hard especially against Oettl and in that phase I lost some time. But when I saw Martin get in front, I pushed hard to stay with him, but he had already taken an important gap. In the last lap I managed the situation: I thought I could reach it, but I was on my limit and I didn't want to compromise a good podium result. In the past years this track was a struggle for me, but today I felt right on the bike. Now let's look forward, I am ready to fight for the victory!"
Fabio Di Giannantonio, Del Conca Gresini Moto3: 5th
"Today was so and so. We chose the medium tire and towards the end of the race I had no more grip. It's a shame, because we showed great speed throughout the weekend and we wanted to battle for the win. I hope this will come at Jerez."

Despite the fact that one in five American adults experiences some form of mental illness in any given year, access to mental health care is still limited. Therapy, in particular, can run a person anywhere from $100 to $300+ per session, making it an unrealistic option for many. Armed with that knowledge, Self reached out to a variety of mental health professionals to get their "most impactful, least intimidating" strategies that they actually offer to patients. "Most of the work of therapy happens outside the consultation room," said licensed clinical psychologist Alicia H. Clark to the magazine.
"The best progress happens when you apply what you've learned outside that setting, in your real life."
Read up on what Clark and others had to offer below.
Actually Write Down Your Thoughts
This one comes from David Klow, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the upcoming book You Are Not Crazy. "Venting is awesome for a reason—it helps you get out your frustrations," he told the publication. "That's one of the reasons why it can be helpful to keep a mental health journal."
Take Daily Low-Key Walks
One way to quiet a busy mind is to channel that energy into something physical. "Getting out into the world and connecting with life is usually healing, as is the rhythmic nature of walking," said Klow. "It can help get you out of your head and into the world." He recommends taking a walk first thing in the morning, after dinner, or even scheduling a 20-minute walk during the workday.
When Anxious, Ask Yourself "And Then What?"
When ruminating on something, asking yourself this simple question can help "elucidate thoughts that are reasonable, probable, or sometimes even rational," explains Clark. She gives the example of worrying about losing your job. "Ask yourself what would happen if that were the case," she explains. "That might seem terrifying at first … [but] eventually, your thoughts should come around to reasonable solutions to your biggest worries. You might even realize that these scenarios—while certainly anxiety-inducing—are highly unlikely to come to pass."
Make a List of "Your People"
"By building a list of people that you trust, with whom you can talk to in times of need, you allow yourself a strong sense of not being alone," explains Klow. "The next time you're struggling, check out your list and reach out to someone on it. Then, work your way down if someone you love isn't free to talk."
Counter Negative Thoughts With Positive Ones
It is possible to take life's negative moments and find a silver lining in them. "The sensation of pressure doesn't have to be negative—it can be a positive challenge and motivating," says Clark. "For example, if you're stressed because you're up against an intense work deadline, think about how that stress is actually helping to push you to get it done." If stress reaches a chronic point, "consider viewing that as a welcome warning sign that you need to find ways to scale back before you burn out."
Head over to Self for more, and read up on how to stay positive when surrounded by negative people next.
