Genetics are a field we're continuing to learn more and more about, and as a culture our knowledge of the subject spans from elementary school Punnet squares to the human genome project to inconsistent science in X-Men and other blockbusters. And while these sources may differ in credibility, they show our culture's fascination with the understanding of what makes us... well, us.
Perhaps the most intriguing component of genetics is the side that made the X-Men so enthralling, that of genetic mutation. While this facet has been studied deeply, there are still discoveries that seem incomprehensible at first. In this list we've compiled fifteen animals that defy genetic expectations. Two faces, extra legs, inexplicable skin, strange markings or coloring, you'll find it all here. While maybe they don't have the abilities of the X-Men, they are nearly as remarkable, and visually pack quite the punch.
15 We, The Two-Headed Snake
Named like some sort of horror film monster, We has a countenance to match. This two-headed rat snake not only has two distinct heads, but also has both male and female reproductive organs. We don't want to think too much about the possibilities involved here, but we will say that it isn't unheard of for this mutation to occur in snakes. It's also not uncommon for one head to try to eat the other. Scared yet? Imagine running into this guy on the trail on a hike.
We was purchased for $15,000 by World Aquarium in St. Louis, which, eight years later, tried to auction off We for ten times that price. While the auction was ultimately unsuccessful, the snake was scooped up by a biotech company.
Perhaps the most notable thing about the duo is that they survived for much longer than most snakes (or other animals, for that matter) with a mutation like this. Adulthood is rarely seen by animals with such severe physical disfigurements.
14 Vitiligo Rottweiler
This pup has vitiligo, a genetic disease which results in the loss of color in skin. While not incredibly uncommon in dogs (or other animals), the markings of the rottweiler (a particularly susceptible breed) look all the more striking when depigmented. There is still a lot to be learned about vitiligo, but the disease is a genetic one, although not altogether a mutation, per se. Basically, the dog's immune system attacks the melanin which would have controlled skin color. Stress and other factors may also play into how a vitiligo shows itself.
Thankfully, vitiligo is one of the less threatening conditions you'll find on this list. While no known surefire treatments exist, besides skin depigmentation only occasional lesions or higher dander output might occur. All in all, it just gives dogs a striking appearance.
13 Scaleless Rattlesnake
The only thing that could make snakes creepier, it seems, is de-scaling them and crossing them with a naked mole rat. At least, that's what this naked rattlesnake looks like. The first scaleless snake popped up in the early 1900s. While becoming more commonly found recently, this mutation occurs when snakes are inbred too closely for too long of a time. That's why it happens in captivity way more than out in the wild - scientists are trying to selectively breed for certain traits, but it can go too far.
Despite looking like a hideous sea monster wrapped in Grandma's panty hose, being born scale-less doesn't affect a snake's survivability too much. They've become sought after pets, which simply blows our minds. Have these people seen them?
12 Little Mister Piggy
A number of discoveries of giant pigs have been labelled 'Pigzilla'. Some have had more ironic dubbings, such as the farmer who named his half-ton pig Tinkerbelle. The Pigzilla pictured above was allegedly a wild pig shot and shown off by a family back in 2007. Afterward, they received some skepticism about the validity of their claim that the hog was wild, and not merely an overfed domestic pig. Either way, this pig is an insane display of girth and weight, and it seems impossible that its growth didn't involve some kind of genetic disease or at least predisposition to growth at a genetic level.
Pigzilla is probably one of the most dangerous animals on this list, just because of the sheer weight it could throw around. Imagine running into Little Mister Piggy on a dark hike through the woods.
11 The Faux Chimera Cat
With a massive current following on her Instagram account and Facebook page, Venus the cat has benefited from her strange condition, achieving a celebrity status rivalled by no other animals on this list. Called a chimera by many, she appears to be split exactly down the middle, with totally different color patterns (including eye color!) on either side of the split. She appears to be a perfectly photoshopped image of two cats spliced together. But she's all natural! While scientists have replicated this strange occurrence with embryos in their labs, to find an example so perfect that occurred naturally is quite rare.
Some experts have said that Venus is not a true chimera, and just an example of truly remarkable calico mosaicism. A true chimera comes from two distinct embryos that almost fused together, and Venus seems to simply express patterns determined in a unique way. Either way, Venus is a truly remarkable feline.
10 The Montauk Monster
Washed up on the shore of New York Beach in 2008, this terrifying beast struck fear in the hearts of many. A bloated, now hairless body, long teeth, blue and gray blotched skin, shortened ears, and powerful legs give this animal the appearance it just braved the depths of hell and now seeks to terrorize folks on earth. The ocean just got in his way this time. Maybe this is where author Suzanne Collins got her inspiration for the vicious mutts in her Hunger Games series.
While the photo of the Montauk Monster, as it was dubbed, went viral, spreading terror to any that frequented NY Beach, scientists have since guessed that it was a more common animal such as a raccoon, bloated and distorted by the water. We certainly hope another Montauk demon won't pop up again.
9 Kenny
While mutations occur naturally, breeding practices can influence the likelihood of the manifestation of certain mutations in some species. Such is the case for white tigers, which are only born to related mates after generations of incestuous breeding. Actually, some experts have guessed that only 1 in 10,000 wild tigers is born with this genetic anomaly. Unsurprisingly, the gorgeous white coats come along with a multitude of health complications. Kenny, the white tiger pictured, is evidence of some of these problems. Unable to close his mouth and with abnormal brain development, Kenny died of cancer in 2008, almost a decade after he was rescued by a wildlife reserve.
While Kenny's complications were serious, other white tigers can have it even worse. Clubbed feet, cleft palate, additional deformities, and immune system issues often accompany a tiger's snowy coat. And logically, the white coat is a detriment to the tiger's survival. Stalking prey is way more difficult with a regal, shining coat, after all.
8 El Chupacabra, The Goat Sucker
El Chupacabra occupies a strange corner of this list, in that it has achieved a mythological status in Mexico, combined with actual discoveries of bodies of animals that Mexicans have claimed are members of the species. This makes it a bit different from legends like Bigfoot, in that there are many Chupacabras around to study and examine. Chupacabra means 'goat-sucker', and is a description of one of the mystical qualities of the Chupacabra: the desire to suck blood. Most findings of the creatures have been debunked by scientists. Sightings of El Chupacabra are probably just mange-ridden coyotes, so hungry and pathetic that they turn to livestock for food.
That said, there are odd pictures circulating of dead Chupacabra bodies that defy easy explanation, such as the one above. Spines on the back, a longish rat-like tail, and odd proportions don't fit with the coyote theory. There are other theories about escaped monkeys in Mexico which could have bred with other animals to produce these terrifying creatures. Whatever the actual explanation is, we're glad we're not goats in Mexico, while these guys are running around.
7 Color Split
Peacocks are some of the most-represented birds in art, mainly due to the incredible coloring and shape of their tail feathers. Shimmering golds, blues, and greens are on full display when the feathers are fanned out. The peacock pictured above takes it to the next level though, with a mix of normal peacock coloring and also a stunning pure white. While it would be easy to call this peacock half-albino, that doesn't quite seem to be the case. It's just a mystifying combination of colors. Pure white peacocks or peafowl aren't unheard of, and basically show the bird is missing pigment in feathers. It looks like our friend above is displaying multiple pigment and structural reflection in its feathers.
It almost seems unfair that a fowl that already draws such massive attention to itself is also the one with stunning markings. Why not give the white feathers to a more homely friend, like a robin or chicken?
6 Frank And Louie
In a decade defined by cat memes and hilarious videos of clumsily adorable feline friends, Frank and Louie are two cats (er... one cat?) who have gotten lost beneath all the cloying cuteness. Frank and Louie have three eyes, two mouths, two noses and two ears. Whiskers seem to sprout all over their befuddling face. Called Janus cats (after a Roman god who was depicted with two faces), these guys have a mutation named craneoplastia, which occurs whenever an animal has two faces on a single skull. While it may not be super common, it happens often enough to have a fancy name.
While it seems there would be benefits to the added facial features (despite the obvious struggles), even hopes of these positives are nullified by the fact that of the cats' two mouths, only one works (the other lacks a bottom jaw), and of the three eyes, only two work (the big one in the middle doesn't do a thing). So what could have been an X-Cat mouse-killer extraordinaire turns out to just be a sad story.
5 Rudy
In a story remarkably similar to that of Frank and Louie, let us introduce to you Rudy, a two-faced pig (in the literal sense). While Rudy has had only one name at a time, when purchased by a shelter, his new owners gave him the name Ditto, which seems quite on-the-nose. Rudy had two snouts, three eyes and two ears, although he did have two more clearly defined skull shapes coming from the same neck, unlike his feline counterparts. Like Frank and Louie, only one of Rudy's snouts worked, and his central eye didn't operate correctly. With two skulls, this gave him a massive blind spot straight in front of him. His disfigurement also caused major balance issues, which is why his owners gave him a helmet to wear.
The shelter that purchased Rudy made the deal for a whopping $5000, in an attempt to keep him from being a spectacle for the public to leer and jeer at. Sadly, the pig's health declined quickly, and he passed away after a few too many falls.
4 One-Legged Snake
Wait a minute. We thought there was something especially definitive about snakes not having legs. Aren't there lizards that fit those other definitions? That said, this picture is definitely a snake with one leg, found by a Chinese woman during the night time. This guy makes an impression even in a photograph - we can't imagine finding him outside our door in the middle of the night. She immediately killed it and preserved it, which is a very controlled response, and not the jumping and screaming we may have been guilty of in the same situation.
Alright, we'll have to back up a bit: this isn't a mutation. It's not even the snake's leg, according to some scientists, but just a past lizard meal's leg that kicked through the side of the snake. While that, too, sounds like some sort of nightmare, at least we probably won't run into any snake legs anytime soon.
3 3 In 1 Frog Family
Alright, maybe you're over the two-faced bit by now. Just in time to be wowed by this frog, which is essentially three of the amphibians piled into one swollen body. At first glance, they seem to be just cuddling, until you see the seamless blend of skin to skin, and only six legs poking out from beneath the misshaped body. All in all, this mutant frog had three full heads (with faces) and six appendages.
Unfortunately enough, scientists had very little time to study the frog. When discovered in 2004 by a student, the frog was brought into a lab, but later escaped its tank and wasn't seen again. This alone seems impossible, as the cumbersome shape of the frog had to have impeded its escape at some level. And wouldn't a find of this nature merit a little higher care taken? Maybe released as some prank by an intern, we'll never know the big questions about this 3-in-1 bargain.
2 Octo-Goat
If you've ever felt like the black sheep of your family, just imagine what this cutie had to go through. While his two siblings, born at the same time, turned out completely as expected (and by that we mean four-legged), this little tyke came out with eight legs, much to the disbelief of Croatian farmer Zoran Paparic. Other than the doubled amount of legs, Octo-goat turned out totally normal, and, unlike some other animals on this list, survived its birth, which occurred back in 2014. While veterinarians doubted that it would survive past a week, they thought that if it got past that marker, the poor kid might make it several years longer. At a young age, the baby goat couldn't support itself with its weak legs, despite how many of them it had, and didn't show signs of surprising the professionals.
It's easy to brush this type of thing off as a rare occurrence, which of course it is. But it also challenges the assumptions we make about what a goat (or, by extension, any animal or human) is. What does it mean if some goats can have more than four legs and still be goats?
1 Buffalo-Alligator
Discovered in a remote village assumed to be in Thailand (based on the original reports), this creature seems to be a scaly, tarry calf. Is it bad that it reminds us of a fun-sized version of Killer Croc, played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje in 2016's Suicide Squad? It seems to be about as large as a child, covered in blackened scales that appear to be almost matted with oil, based on the pictures. The baffling combination of reptilian and mammalian characteristics has stumped those who have come across the photo or news story, which first popped up in late 2015.
With hooves, longish legs, a crocodilian snout, and a dark gray coloring, this guy looks like something out of a nightmare. Strangely enough, despite dying soon after its birth, the animal (a buffigator?) was described by villagers as a sign of good luck to come. We're not sure we agree, but we're glad they saw the bright side of this befuddling creature.

|Era of the Hero of Time
|North Clock Town
Milk Road
Mountain Village
Keaton are a recurring race of fox-like creatures in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Keatons are three-tailed, fox-like creatures whose characteristics are derived from the mythological Japanese fox creatures, kitsune, which are nine-tailed foxes. They have yellow fur and their three tails bear black fur on the tips. Keatons are said to recognize one another by the sheen of their tails,[2] indicating subtle differences between each member.
Ocarina of Time
- Main article: Keaton Mask
No Keatons appear in Ocarina of Time, though a Keaton Mask can be obtained as part of a trading quest. It is the first Mask obtained from the shop in Hyrule Castle Town, and can be sold to the guard at the far end of Kakariko Village as a gift for his son. Keaton is said to be a popular character.[3]
Majora's Mask
- Main article: Keaton's Quiz
A single Keaton appears in several locations in Majora's Mask, hiding within Moving Grass and playing tricks on people.[4] In order to draw out the Keaton, Link must cut at least one clump of Moving Grass wear the Keaton Mask a before all of the clumps have been destroyed. The Keaton will then appear and offer the Keaton's Quiz minigame, asking the young hero five questions about people and locations in Majora's Mask.[5] The Keaton appears in all locations in Termina that contain Moving Grass, such as North Clock Town, Mountain Village or along Milk Road, excluding those in the beginning Portal.
Keaton seems to be based on the Japanese word, 狐 (Kitsune). It is possible that the Japanese name, キータン (Kītan), is a combination of the first letter in Kistune, "Ki" (き), and "-tan" (たん) a childish suffix often used for mascot characters, as would fit with the Keaton Mask.

Jay Inslee held his weekly news conference with reporters Thursday and answered questions about union contracts, his proposal to curb carbon pollution, and, of course, the Seahawks. Here are some highlights: 1. Inslee said he had a "five corners" breakfast meeting with leaders of all four legislative caucuses Thursday morning and came away optimistic that Republicans and Democrats can cooperate. "I'm seeing a seriousness of intent and a bipartisan effort to listen to one another that I think is heartening to start this session," he said. The governor pushed back against a reporter's suggestion that the top Democratic and Republican budget writers were starting on "different planets" when it came to budget talks. "They're both earthlings and they're doing quite well," he said. 2. The governor rejected calls by Republicans and others to make negotiations with state employee unions open to the public. Groups such as the Washington Policy Center have pushed to open up the negotiations, pointing to other states where collective bargaining sessions are conducted in public sessions. Inslee opposed that idea. "I don't think that would be fruitful," he said, noting legislators get the final say on the contracts. "We have the final result. It's available for an up or down vote. That's what really important," he said. 3. Despite questions and criticism from some lawmakers and businesses about his cap-and-trade proposal, Inslee said he's been pleased with the reaction so far. He described lawmakers as showing "very intense interest" in reducing carbon emissions, even if they disagree with him on the details. 4. Inslee said he's "open" to proposals to change the state initiative process, such as one bill that seeks to amend the state constitution to block initiatives that don't include a way to pay for them. Inslee said the Legislature is a better place to deal with "huge fiscal decisions" than initiatives because lawmakers have to consider budget trade-offs. "In the initiative process, voters are not allowed to make priority decisions," he said. 5. Inslee announced a proclamation for three "moments of loudness" to be held statewide at noon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, in honor of the Seahawks Super Bowl matchup against the New England Patriots. Inslee predicted a 27-20 win for the Seahawks. Comments | More in Governor, Politics Northwest, State government | Topics: gov. jay inslee, seahawks, state

Here's an article culled from the PCIJ blog, which is by the way, winner of the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards for BEST NEWS and MEDIA BLOG...
Candidates challenged to support Reproductive Health Rights
BARELY a month left in the campaign, reproductive health issues have yet to figure prominently in the platforms of candidates running for public office in the coming May elections.
Population watchdogs attribute this apparent reluctance among candidates to include population and family planning in their platforms to their fear of losing in the elections if they antagonize certain influential sectors like the Catholic Church, which has time and again opposed alternative family planning methods other than the natural one.
But the Philippine Legislators' Committee on Population and Development Foundation (PLCPD) said such indecision is baseless, citing the recent Pulse Asia Ulat ng Bayan Survey showing nearly eight out of 10 or 76 percent of Filipinos placing considerable importance on family planning as an election issue.
The March 2007 survey also revealed that one in every two Filipinos (52 percent) actually think that candidates who will support family planning will help them win in the elections. Forty-four percent of respondents likewise think that the Church must not involve itself in the issue compared to 33 percent who say otherwise.
Pulse Asia further reported that most Filipinos (92 percent) believe that planning is important in one's family and nine out of 10 Filipinos think that the government must finance modern methods of family planning, including the use of pills, condoms, and uterine devices, ligation and vasectomy.
PLCPD and other reproductive-health advocacy NGOs, which gathered together in a forum the other day in Manila, a city known for its controversial policies against artificial birth control methods (see the PCIJ story, In Manila, Pills and Condoms Go Underground), are therefore challenging candidates to support family planning and reproductive health issues by including these in their platforms.
The country's current population is pegged at 83.7 million, with an annual growth rate of 2.36, the highest in Asia. (Read PLCPD's "Population and Reproductive Health, What Every Candidate Must Know")
In 2004, the Philippines was ranked as the 12th most populated country in the world by the Washington-based Population Reference Bureau. The group said Philippines is expected to remain in the 12th until 2050. Metro Manila alone was reported to be among the world's most populous urban agglomerations.Continue reading here.

While were on the subject of Youtube ads which are the fastest or longest, it seems AlmapBBDO got a little excited and created two. One that automatically skips the ad (for the new Beetles automatics transmission) and one that gives you a prediction (for VWs Side assist?) They also produced this one earlier in the year for VWs original parts. Way to use every part of the Buffalo guys ;)
After looking at the 1 second Youtube ad heres a 10 minute ad that also plays with the 5 second tru-view timer. I think the talent for this does a good job and you can imagine the team on this having fun with what would have been a very dry brief.
Nice extension of the campaign. The live commenting on the news articals and the band playing in the space seems like a combination of Sol Comments and Banner concerts seen back in 2009 when we ran a "Media Placements Creatives Will LIke" feature. Back when banners and creative media were still interesting in the eyes of creatives looking for awards.
Nice little iPad magazine ad. I know several people who didnt believe in this tech when first shown.

Miami Beach's Hank & Harry's Deli, a New York-style delicatessen founded by local restaurateurs Buzzy Sklar and Richard Booth, is now open in South Miami at 5958 S. Dixie Hwy. The outpost marks the largest location yet for the mini-chain, which recently opened a stall in Aventura Mall's Treats Food Hall.
"We are so excited for this location to open because it's our first full-service version with our expanded menu," Sklar says.
The 3,000-square-foot, indoor-outdoor space offers guests a full sit-down experience as opposed to the sandwich-counter service at the brand's two other locations. However, decor is similar, with white-tiled walls, gold accents, and black-and-white checked tile flooring.
The larger menu includes pastrami pizza topped with pickles, mustard, Swiss, and mozzarella ($8.95); deep-fried Reuben egg rolls filled with hot pastrami, Swiss, and coleslaw ($8.95); a warm Reuben dip, made by fusing cream cheese and chunks of corned beef, and served with a side of crunchy bagel chips ($6.95); and a section dedicated to gourmet French fries, including loaded baked potato fries, Jersey-style disco fries topped with cheese and gravy, jalapeño cheese fries, and shaved pastrami and cheese fries ($6.95).
As with all Hank & Harry's, the location serves all-day breakfast complete with eggs any style, speciality omelets, cheesy egg sandwiches, and stuffed bagels ($1.95 and up). New to the lineup are jumbo pancakes filled with chocolate chips or blueberries, and French toast, which can be packed with Nutella or cream cheese ($9 to $11.95).
South Miami also offers a sizable selection of wine, local beer from Funky Buddha and Wynwood Brewing, and made-to-order chocolate or vanilla milkshakes mixed with ingredients such as red velvet cookies and brownie chunks ($6.95 and up).
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Of course the menu also offers Hank & Harry's corned beef and pastrami sandwiches ($13.95), knishes, and black-and-white sugar cookies ($1.50), along with Italian favorites such as hot Italian sandwiches and meatball subs ($10).
"After opening three locations in the past year, we are going to catch our breaths for a second," Sklar says. "But we'll be announcing huge news by the end of the year."
Hank & Harry's South Miami. 5958 S. Dixie Hwy., South Miami; handhdeli.com. 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

David pops off a laugh, one that I recognize as pleased-with-himself rather than a spontaneous expression of pleasure. He is enjoying my surprise. That, I also understand, is the plan.
He smiles. I want to see his eyes but they are masked behind sunglasses that, just yesterday, I bought at a swim shop on the Boardwalk. The lenses are tinted bright yellow and offer the highest possible UV protection. According to the sticker, they are also unbreakable. This I doubt, but I didn't buy them for safety. I thought they'd make him look young and hip, and they do, offsetting the gray creeping along his temples. I find the new color attractive but when he thinks I am not looking, David stares at his hairline in the mirror and scowls.
I do not think of his hair—or his ego—now. The rims glint in the morning sun. Seeing my jaundiced reflection, I am tempted to rip the sunglasses from his face and fling them into the ocean.
"What's the big deal?" he says. "All I want is to bury you in the sand."
"I got that," I say. "But, why? And please, can you lose the shades?"
He lets go of my hand and obeys. His smile remains, although it morphs into the I'm-indulging-your-silly-request one. I hate that one.
I know all of his smiles. Seventeen years of marriage, twenty-one years together; father of my child, love of my life. I know his wants, his desires, his flaws and moods and solid good points. I know that creasing his forehead shows aggravation and raising his eyebrows mean fake surprise. When his shock is genuine, he puckers his lips. He doesn't realize this, and I'm not telling.
I wonder if my lips are puckered, because I am definitely surprised.
"Are you saying no?"
"I'm asking why. It is a bit of an odd request, even from you."
He twirls the sunglasses and stares at them, instead of me.
"To see if you trust me." Now he glances up and I wish I'd never wished to see his eyes. They are plain and brown and small, unremarkable, and yet, holding mine, they send out a challenge that hits like a cold fist to my stomach.
He leans forward, moving like someone about to kiss someone else, but that isn't what he does.
"She said we should do a trust exercise," he says, very softly, as if it is a secret, or as if I have somehow forgotten. "You're the one who wanted to do this."
As if, somehow, I have forgotten that, too. All is clear now. She is the marriage counselor I wanted us to see. This is payback, or punishment. It doesn't really matter which. It's not like either is a very desirable choice.
"I know, but…bury me in the sand? I don't think that's what Lynette had in mind."
"It's what I want." Still softly, but now stubborn. "Will you do it?"
I turn towards the ocean. Of course I will do it. He knows it and I know it and, after a mere three sessions, Lynette would know it, too. She's the one who first said the word "doormat." David didn't frown in surprise hearing it. Nor did I. But knowing you have a flaw does not necessarily mean you know how to repair it.
I inhale deeply. A very light film of spray covers me. It is mid-May, but yesterday was blazing hot, and swimmers braved the still-chilly waters. David was among them. I sat under an umbrella and stared at him while he stared at other women.
Yes. Doormat.
Today will be just as warm, but it is Monday, so there will not be a crowd, probably just couples like us, or college kids, or locals skipping school to hang out, beachside.
And my husband wants to bury me among them, to prove that I trust him.
Another couple walks by, our age, also holding hands. The man nods, the woman tosses off a smile. Lucky us, it seems to say, on the beach on a Monday instead of at our jobs. Enjoying a walk in the sand with an attentive man alongside.
David runs a thumb across the inside of my wrist. It feels intimate, too much so out here in public, with other people. My face heats. I yank away.
"If that's what you want," I say. "Where? When?"
He turns in a slow circle, his arms extending out. "Out here."
I glance around. We are past the lifeguard zone, but I won't need a rescue.
"Fine," I say.
His mouth drops, but I don't pause to enjoy the shock. He wants to play games, I'll play along. I spin away from the water and stalk up the beach. I stop midway between the fence marking the beach's edge and where the tide stops.
I twirl in a slow circle. David waits, ten, fifteen, twenty feet away, and watches.
My move.
"Here?" I say, and to emphasize how much I mean it, I flop down. "Come on, big boy." I kick off my sandals and lift my bottom to wiggle out of my cover-ups. "Start digging."
I'm bluffing, I think, but he comes to my side and drops to his knees. He scoops up a handful of sand and tosses it over my foot. It breaks apart, but it is warm, unlike the chill creeping up my backside. He slides his palm and mounds more over my ankle.
"We should have a shovel," he says. I think the exact same thing, at the exact same time. He shoves enough sand to cover my feet. He crawls back and pushes more to get my calves under. He starts to pant a little at the exertion. I laugh.
"What's so funny?" he asks, clearly annoyed.
"Lynette," I say. "I'm thinking of what Lynette would say right now. Do you honestly think this is what she meant by a trust exercise?"
His jaw clamps.
"I'm trying, all right?" he says. "Are you going to try, or are you going to hang on to that one thing the rest of our lives?"
That one thing?
I don't respond. He grunts as he cups his palms into an open V and digs into the sand. I don't help.
"I can't lie flat," I say. "I'll need a mound under my head."
He nods. He is working hard now. His face is red. Sweat gathers at his gray temples.
Good. Good. Let him sweat. Let him have a heart attack.
I lay back slowly, one vertebra at a time, like in Pilates. I press down the small of my back so there is no arch. He packs sand along my sides and under my shoulders. He climbs across my chest and does the same on the other side.
"Is that all right?"
"It's fine," I say, and it is. I rest on my elbows.
He covers my thighs, smacking sand down below my knees and above. He doesn't touch my skin. My legs disappear. I lean back. Next his hands are over my breasts, patting, but there is nothing erotic in the touch.
"That looks like fun!"
I raise my head. The other couple is back. The man calls to us, but the woman shakes her head before putting her hands over her eyes. The sun is at her back. Is she blocking out the glare, or blocking out the sight?
"I'm fine," I say, to her, but her hand falls to her side and she does not answer.
"Almost done," David grunts.
He stands, grunting again and walks past my head. I am confused. My shoulders are bare, my arms free. Has he quit? Is this it?
I hear a sound, and I understand. He needs more sand.
"Raise your head," he says. After a half minute, he tells me to lower it. I rest back onto the mound he's built up behind me. It is very comfortable.
I lay my arms along my sides. He hesitates, I don't know why, before pouring sand over them. He gently covers my shoulders. He crawls around my body, patting my knees, packing down my toes. Finally, he stands.
"Do you feel all right?"
His concern is genuine. I don't have to see his eyes to know that. He is not cruel. That was never the problem. I would never stay twenty-one years with a mean person
I realize I haven't asked a very important question. "How long do I stay here?"
And then comes that smile, the one that is rare, and should be so, because it is the one I hate the most.
"As long as you want," he says. "It's up to you."
He spins around and goes off, walking briskly along the waves' edge, growing smaller with every step, but not so small that I cannot see him turn sharply and walk up to the Boardwalk. When he does disappear, it's not because he's so far away but because I cannot twist my head anymore to watch him.
He, however, does not glance at me. Not once.
I sigh. The sand covering me feels damp and itchy, and I feel like a complete idiot, or a stubborn child, or a manipulated wife. Or all three.
"Great," I say aloud. "What do I do now?"
My face grows hot in chagrin. Underneath, my back is cold against the tight packing, but it is not unbearable. I've suffered worse.
He'll come back. He always does. I just have to wait it out.
So I do. I lie and wait. I close my eyes and listen to the waves, listen to the seagulls, listen to my heart beating, listening to my brain ponder where I am. My husband buried me up to my neck and abandoned me. I can dig myself out whenever I want to, but instead I lie here, by my own choice.
I almost laugh. I wonder if David knows his trust exercise is a metaphor for my life.
Lynette would just love that. I wonder what she'd want me to do with this time. Review my marriage, my life with David, explore the deep recesses of why, after all these years, we need to be indulging in a trust exercise.
The answer to that isn't deep at all.
Something—a sand fly?—buzzes past my head, and I jerk. I feel sand fall off of my shoulder. I will myself to lie still. A stubborn voice I hardly recognize tells me I can do this, and after I do, it'll be his turn, and I'll…I'll…
I'll what? I bite my lip and consider what I might ask David to do in return. Skydive? Renew our vows? Tell her husband and let David take the consequences?
I close my eyes. After a while, I stop considering, because I am asleep.
"Annabelle? Annabelle, honey, wake up."
Amazingly, my first thought is not to disturb the sand. David is kneeling at my side. The sunglasses are gone, but something else is there.
I blink once, twice. His eyes are very somber.
I know this one, too.
He's sorry.
"It's been an hour." He starts shoveling off the sand. "Come on, get—"
"Stop," I say, harshly. "Leave it alone."
His hands stop. The sorry look is gone. David is back, but I don't want him anymore.

John Powers, Negosentro | The world of business has changed in ways few would have imagined, just decades ago. Not since the Industrial Revolution has technology made such an impact with no signs of slowing down. What makes this era different is that these advances haven't limited themselves to the manufacturing sector. Virtually every aspect of business has changed so fast that both companies and consumers have often struggled to keep up. Here are some examples of the impact digital technology has had on the business world.
Increased Connectivity
The most obvious change in the way business is done comes down to connectivity. Due to the development of the Internet, people around the world are just a click or two away from one another. Customers have multiple ways to connect with businesses now, as opposed to relying on letters and phone calls. Coworkers and employees can be reached via email, text, chat or social media, making them more available than ever before. Businesses can provide real-time information to interested consumers that can even be tailored to their individual needs.
Increased Mobility
Not long after the Internet came advances in mobile communication. While cell phone technology initially took some time to catch on, it has now reached a point where everyone has a phone in their pocket. Employees can make deliveries and run errands without being out of touch. Tablets with the proper software can handle business transactions from virtually anywhere, instead of relying on a distant computer. Consumers can use their own mobile devices to locate businesses, shop, compare prices, and share their shopping experiences with others on social media. These capabilities have changed marketing forever.
The Cloud
Cloud computing has taken digital storage to an entirely new level. Where data was once stored in-house, the cloud has made it possible to store large amounts of it on third-party servers that can be accessed online. This helps lessen the impact of crashes that can lead to permanent losses of valuable data. Cloud storage is also more cost-effective than purchasing expensive computer equipment that requires specialized maintenance.
Cost and Functionality
Modern software solutions have increasingly helped tilt business transactions in the favor of consumers. The increased availability of technology to the masses has helped make this possible, by putting the right software into everyone's hands. In addition, an increasing number of tech savvy entrepreneurs have figured out how to exploit existing technology to come up with even better ways of doing things. An endpoint protection platform is an example of a software solution that combines malware protection and a personal firewall with protection from intrusion and data loss. Where large companies once required hefty budgets to come up with their own software solutions, they're now available at more affordable rates and with expanded capabilities.
Less Downtime
Another noticeable effect of technology on business is the decreasing amount of available downtime for both employees and employers. In the past, people were able to take days off and go on vacations without being bothered by work-related matters. In today's world, people are so easy to reach that they're rarely able to completely get away. Even an individual that's not being sought out can scarcely resist the urge to "check in" on occasion.
An Evolving Consumer Base
Because of the early exposure young people get to these technologies, they're quickly becoming the biggest driving force in the world's economy. Kids everywhere have smartphones and are just as likely to use them to purchase items they're interested in, such as video games, movie tickets, and apps for their phones. Millennials grew up at a time when these technologies were in their infancy, so they have quickly become accustomed to instant gratification. In many ways, it has been their demands that have fueled the latest advances in digital technology.
Social Media
The combination of all these advances has helped create another phenomenon that few would have predicted. The Internet gave birth to social networking, which has not only connected the entire world, but also allowed people everywhere to take a more personal look at one another. In years past, businesses routinely got away with substandard customer service. Today, they can easily find themselves at the wrong end of a bad review or a hateful social media rant. This can have disastrous effects on a company's reputation, since it can spread around the world in a matter of seconds. Businesses are now left to scour the web in search of anything that might hurt their bottom line, in an effort to counter it.
While most of these technologies have had a positive effect on business, there are always downsides. Regardless of where you might stand on their impact, they're part of a new revolution in the way business is conducted and there's plenty more to come. The best approach for new businesses is to learn as much as possible about how technology affects them and how it can be applied for a competitive advantage.

COME WHAT MAYHEM! written and performed by Roger Bainbridge, Kyle Dooley, Brandon Hackett, Becky Johnson, Lindsay Mullan and Ann Pornel, directed by Carly Heffernan. Presented by Second City (51 Mercer). In previews, opens Tuesday (August 30) for a limited run, Tuesday-Thursday 8 pm, Friday-Saturday 7:30 and 10 pm, Sunday 7:30 pm. $25-$52. 416-343-0011. See listing.
For a change, the punny title of Second City's new sketch revue actually has a point.
Come What Mayhem! was developed during one of the most tumultuous periods in recent history, with terrorism and mass murders abroad and rampant police shootings south of the border, Black Lives Matters protests and women's abuse allegations being dismissed in courts.
"When we were writing, we'd show up, and there was this weeks-long stretch when there was something horrendous happening almost every day," says Roger Bainbridge.
"We'd look at each other open-mouthed and ask, 'Is this actually happening?' This isn't funny. How in god's name do we make this funny?'"
But Bainbridge, one of four new mainstage cast members, thinks they've found a way. There will be laughs, he says, but there will also be uncomfortable moments when the audience questions whether it's okay to laugh.
"Comedy should be unsettling, but that's okay, because there are unsettling things happening in the world," says the writer and actor best known for his work with Tony Ho, a troupe definitely familiar with comedy's dark side.
New member Ann Pornel, who's an Asian-Canadian woman of size, is especially proud of one of those is-it-okay-to-laugh sketches.
"It's a scene I've always wanted to do, one I've never seen done at Second City," she says. "It's about saying the word 'fat' and how that's not allowed, even though if I am fat why can't I say it? You can feel the audience's discomfort, and in the end there's some release for them. The whole joke is flipped on its head."
Pornel, who logged five years with comedy troupe the Sketchersons before joining Second City's TourCo and then making mainstage, feels lucky to be able to bring this kind of comedy to a broad audience.
"We're getting a chance to talk about xenophobia, Islamophobia and Black Lives Matter," she says. "Where else in live theatre in Toronto does an actor get to do that?"
The fact that Tony Ho, the Sketchersons and Pornel's other sketch troupe, the Flirty Boys (which consists of women who mimic macho guys), normally play alternative clubs like Comedy Bar and Bad Dog means they're often aiming their jokes at people with pretty liberal politics.
"But with the Second City audience," says Pornel, "you might have people who don't necessarily think like you. They might think, 'Oh yeah, racism doesn't exist.' And we're here to say, 'Oh yes, it is very much in existence.'"
Besides sporting one of the more diverse mainstage casts in recent memory – new company member Brandon Hackett is Black – the Second City is currently making history. The show's director is a woman (Heffernan), and so is the touring company's (Leslie Seiler) and the house company's (Karen Parker). Second City's education company is being directed by alum Nigel Downer, who's African Canadian.
All of that, especially having a woman at the helm, feeds into the product onstage.
"There's a difficult scene in the show that deals with sexual assault," says Pornel. "I don't know how it would have been handled by a different director. But with Carly we are able to really hit hard because, as a woman, she's coming from a place of knowing what it feels like to walk down a street and not feel safe."
Pornel wants to land her jokes, of course, but as a fanatical Jays fan she also wants Second City's neighbours from the Rogers Centre to see the show. A few weeks ago Kevin Pillar was in the audience and she cried in the green room for five minutes.
"If José Bautista or Josh Donaldson or Devon Travis came, I'd be hysterical," she says. "I want all the Jays to come. I want to collect them like Pokémon."

TheξHexPro Termite Baiting System is the next generation in termite baiting. It is one of the most widely installed bait systems by professional pest control companies today. Unlike older bait systems, the HexPro bait stations have larger vertical slots that allow for maximum wood-to-soil contact, creating the perfect opportunity for termite attack. HexPro Termite Baiting stations also provides an environmentally sensible solution with minimal amount of termite bait. It has low toxicity to birds, fish and plants, low impact on human health and has low potential for groundwater contamination when used as instructed. This system requires no trenching or drilling in floors. Each station contains a wood base monitor that is very appetizing to termites. When termites are found in the stations, the cartridge is replaced with a termite bait (Shatter) that wipes out the entire termite colony.

Though the definition and complete list may vary, there is an entire category of foods that should be on your must have list. They are the super foods and they offer you some truly amazing nutritional value. They contain key ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and even fiber. They are not only good for weight loss but also good for your health overall as well.
What you should know is that they all offer various benefits. Some may help in the prevention of certain diseases such as cancer. Others may be helpful in naturally boosting your immune system in the here and now. Still others may have fiber which helps to keep your digestive system running properly. No matter what, these super foods get their name for a good reason and they are well worth the investment in your health overall. At NYC Adventure Boot Camp, we promote healthy eating versus fad diets.
The Good Fats Really Do Matter
You are hearing a lot about super foods because they really do matter. They have a key substance in them known as Omega 3 fatty acids and this is instrumental to your health. This can help with weight loss, with naturally lowering your cholesterol, and with helping you to prevent certain diseases in your future. The list of the very best foods that contain Omega 3 fatty acids and which are considered to be truly "good fats" includes:
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Mackerel
- Swordfish
- Avocado
- Walnuts
- Almonds
- Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oil
- Olive Oil
True and Very Powerful Whole Grains
Who ever thought that carbohydrates could be truly good for you? The most important part of this aspect of the food pyramid is to ensure that they are the types of carbs that are actually good for you. They need to be true whole grains rather than derivatives. Eating white bread will do nothing but introduce too much sugar which is bad for your health and can make you feel hungry sooner. Whereas if you focus instead on true whole grains you get a heaping dose of fiber and some important minerals that can help your overall health and that's good for everything from weight loss to lowering your risk of heart disease. You will find that quinoa is quickly growing in popularity and so too are steel cut oats. Beans and legumes are not only lean proteins but fit nicely in with whole grains and offer the same tremendous benefits.
The Brightest and Best Fruits and Vegetables
When your mom told you to eat your fruits and vegetables she knew what she was talking about. You want to be sure to eat plenty of these gems, but some stand out more than others. The brighter and more vibrantly colored the hue of the fruit or vegetable the more antioxidants are contained within. So you get plenty of vitamins and minerals and then boost your nutritional quota with antioxidants that help your immune system and you to work towards prevention. The very best of the best include items such as:
- Broccoli
- Sweet Potatoes
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Carrots
- Kale
- Spinach
- Tomatoes

THE Wingmakers went down to a solitary goal against The New Saints on a night when they came close to taking a point away from Park Hall.
Andy Preece's men enjoyed an excellent opening 30 minutes in which the hosts were unable to get into their stride.
With a quarter of an hour on the clock, Airbus should have taken the lead when Chris Budrys sent over a teasing cross only for Mark Cadwallader to somehow failed to connect firmly with a free header in front of a gaping goal.
But keeper Ben Chapman was called into action at the other end, making a superb save from Greg Draper, before the Kiwi international striker back heeled just wide of a post from a Ryan Fraughan cross.
Chapman saved with his feet from Fraughan just before the break as TNS started to dominate, but Budrys fired over soon after the restart after latching on to a long ball.
Sam Finley rattled the Wingmakers' crossbar with Chapman beaten but Ryan Wade created an excellent opening in an Airbus attack only to send a weak shot at keeper Paul Harrison.
Finley went close with a 18 yarder for the Saints before what proved to be the winning goal on 73 minutes, Simon Spender netting from close range after a good pass by Aeron Edwards.
That sparked the Wingmakers into life again and Mike Hayes should have netted an equaliser from sub Wayne Riley's cross.
But overall it was an encouraging performance with several players missing through injury and suspension.

The South Bronx may be known as the birthplace of hip-hop, but it was a springboard for musical talent long before that occurred.
Salsa music was played by some Bronx residents, like Willie Colón and others members of the Fania All-Stars, among other groups. In the 1950s, jazz giants like Donald Byrd and Herbie Hancock called an apartment in the Morrisania neighborhood home. The Chantels, one of the first girl groups in doo-wop, met one another as first graders at St. Anthony of Padua School nearby.
Planners are hoping to tap into this rich history with a new music venue, the Bronx Music Hall, to be built in the Melrose neighborhood. Ground was broken on Friday on a 300-seat space that will be part of an affordable housing complex.
It is the latest move to honor the Bronx's heritage, part of a continuing effort to burnish the image of an area that was once synonymous with urban decay and neglect.
Bobby Sanabria, a drummer and percussionist from the area, will serve as the music hall's co-artistic director. He cited the diversity of the borough, and quoted a remark made by Mark Naison, a Fordham professor who has been involved with the project, that no other place in America had nurtured more forms of music than the South Bronx. "The problem is nobody knows that, not even Bronxites," Mr. Sanabria said. "A lot of that history was wiped away."
The project's housing component will consist of 305 below-market-rate apartments to be offered to residents making from 30 to 110 percent of the area's median income. About 5 percent of the housing will be set aside for people moving out of homeless shelters, said Nancy Biberman, founder and president of the Women's Housing and Economic Development Corporation, or Whedco, the nonprofit behind the project.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement, "As we build more and more needed affordable housing, there is no finer tribute to New York's deep artistic history than including a music hall in this Bronx development."
The housing development and the concert hall, which were proposed by Whedco in 2008, will be the final development on vacant city land set aside more than 20 years ago for a renewal project.
Mr. Sanabria recalled that when he was growing up in the Bronx in the 1960s, there was a vibrant cultural scene and a landscape dotted with music clubs. "We had about 75 nightclubs in the South Bronx and in the surrounding areas, numerous catering halls and dance halls," he said. "It was an incredible scene that nurtured all these forms of music."
But when President Jimmy Carter's toured the area in 1977, his motorcade passed "block after block of burned-out and abandoned buildings, rubble-strewn lots and open fire hydrants, and people shouting 'Give us money!' and 'We want jobs!'" according to an article in The New York Times about the visit.
Mr. Sanabria, who has been nominated for seven Grammys and toured overseas, says some people still recoil when he tells them he is from the South Bronx.
Progress has been made over the years, he said, but "we're not there yet." He is now the artistic director at the Bronx Heritage Center, which is run out of another Whedco housing development.
Though hip-hop has grown into a worldwide phenomenon respected by music scholars, Mr. Sanabria also wants the music hall to honor less heralded aspects of the borough's music scene. He aims to feature sounds from diverse immigrant communities as well as those of better-known artists.
The housing component will be designed by Danois Architects, while the firm WXY Architecture & Urban Design will serve as the architect for the Bronx Music Hall. The firm Local Projects, which worked on the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in Manhattan, will be the hall's designer.
The music hall will have a digital archive serving as a repository of the cultural riches produced by the area, Mr. Sanabria said. In an adjacent plaza that will be constructed as part of the project, he hopes to bring back the drum circles he remembers in parks and on street corners when he was younger.
The development will serve as a testament to the determination of the longtime residents of the area, he added.
"The soul of the people of the Bronx is one of resiliency, resistance and pride," Mr. Sanabria said. "It really is a majestic history."

Our Public Law solicitors helped a Peterborough family win a High Court legal battle after their seven-year-old daughter was placed under a child protection plan with no evidence of neglect.
In 2015, the family was in the middle of an on-going dispute with Peterborough City Hospital about how best to treat their young daughter, who has autism. She had stopped eating and drinking a few years previous and had a naso-gastric tube fitted in order to feed her.
The doctors wanted the girl to go to a residential assessment centre called The Croft for several weeks, but her parents disagreed and asked for second medical opinion. Rather than address the family's concerns or seeking a second opinion, the clinicians reported the family to social services. In March 2015, the Local Authority placed the child under child protection with a category of 'neglect'.
This was an enormous shock for the family. The Local Authority had already assessed the child's situation less than a year earlier, concluding that the girl's home education was excellent and that her mother provided "a great deal of emotional warmth".
Even worse, however, was the fact that the child protection plan did nothing to help their daughter get the medical treatment she needed. The child had no treating team in place and had to be taken to the hospital on a monthly basis for distressing changes to her naso-gastric tube.
Her parents contacted our Protecting Your Rights team to see if we could help. We brought a Judicial Review at the High Court in June 2016 on behalf of the family against Peterborough City Council. The Judge quashed the child protection decision, ruling that it was unlawful and there was no evidence of neglect.
We also helped the family come to an agreement with the hospital and the Local Authority over their daughter's medical treatment. Through mediation, it was agreed that the girl did not have to go to The Croft residential care centre and that she could receive her parents' preferred option of treatment provided by Addenbrookes Hospital.
The child's mother said: "We are relieved that the High Court has found there was no evidence of neglect and has quashed the child protection decision, and made a declaration that the decision was null and void. We are also thrilled that through mediation we were able to obtain for our daughter the treatment we had always thought was in her best interests. We can now concentrate on ensuring that our daughter continues to get the treatment she needs."
The young girl's case was handled by Caroline Barrett, a specialist solicitor in our Public Law & Human Rights team. She said: "There are legal mechanisms which hospitals and councils can use to try and resolve disputes over a child's best interests, and what medical treatment they should receive. It was not appropriate in this case for our client to have been placed on a child protection plan and for her family to have been accused of 'neglect'."
"Although this latest judgment is obviously specific to the facts of this particular case, this judgment should hopefully provide a warning to other local authorities to ensure they work with families, consider the purpose of the child protection measures, and lawfully apply the relevant guidance, when making these decisions in future."
If you or a family member has been treated unfairly by social services, our Health & Social Care Law solicitors may be able to help you get the support you need. Call us on 0370 1500 100 or contact us online for a free initial consultation.

Cord Blood Banking?
I'm starting to research Cord Blood Banking. I've registered to receive tons of info about the benefits of it. It seems like a no brainer -- of course I want to have the option if my child ever gets ill! But the cost seems kind of steep ($2,000 - $3,000) with all the other expenses adding up. My husband thinks we should absolutely do it, that we will find the money. I am leaning towards that as well, but I wonder how many people have actually had to use the cord blood they banked? What circumstances is it good for? How long does it last? So many questions... I just want to make the best decision.

When you only have one, any price might be pretty decent. Better than NONE for free!

Telecoms provider edpnet has signed up to use Proximus' emerging FTTH network in Belgium.
Edpnet provides VDSL-based broadband services, along with fixed and mobile telephony, to consumers and businesses.
The wholesale deal with Proximus, financial details of which were not disclosed, means edpnet can tap into a pure fibre network that is set to cover 85 percent of businesses and over 50 percent of households in Belgium.
Proximus announced plans last December to invest €3 billion on upgrading its broadband network over the next 10 years.
In its Q2 financial report, released in July, the operator said the construction of an FTTH network had begun in Brussels, Antwerp and Gent. It declined to specify the number of premises that the network covers.
Proximus already offers FTTH to some businesses and said edpnet will be able to access the network from today.
[Read more: Enterprises drive Proximus to invest in "transformational" FTTH]
Proximus CEO Dominique Leroy said: "This commercial agreement with edpnet is reflecting that we actively engage with our wholesale customers to meet their evolving needs.
"We are confident that this partnership will help us further to bring fibre to as many businesses and citizens in Belgium.
"The opening of our networks to enable other companies to develop their own innovative services is an integral part of our long term strategy and this agreement will be crucial for the further development of our wholesale business."
Philip Deutz, CEO of edpnet, added: "For an independent telecom provider like edpnet, a commercial bitstream offer for fibre, as proposed by Proximus, is the fastest and most efficient way to bring new products and services to our professional and residential customers, who all see their data traffic & digital services grow exponentially, mainly driven by cloud, video applications and IoT."

I got out a handbag I hadn't used since last year and found a pair of 'just in case' knickers from when my granddaughter was being toilet trained.
That set me thinking about how much life changes when we have children (and grandchildren).
Suddenly there is a new life, totally dependent on us, and particularly so if we are breast feeding. Our time is not completely our own. Our lives are not completely our own, and nor are our handbags.
Fortunately, fathers these days are often more involved in the lives of their children, and many grandmothers smile to see babies strapped to the chests of the men they see shopping.
Still, however, surveys show that many women still take the major role in the care of children as well as doing the housework and often working outside the home.
A poll by Galaxy Research quoted in this morning's Age said mothers in their early 30's reported the least amount of "me time", a mere 33 minutes per day. As I said, a mother's time is no longer her own!
Wendy Tuohy, in this morning's Herald Sun, writes of Posh Spice/Victoria Beckham admitting that she finds the combination of work and parenting exhausting. And no doubt she has plenty of household staff to assist her. Tuohy goes on to say that contemporary mothers are under more pressure than previously to have it all, and be it all, by the superstars who give the impression that it is easy to be a working mother.
There has certainly been a growth in the number of parents who are finding that their expectations are very different from the reality they experience, no doubting contributing to the increase in post natal depression.
I can't help feeling we had it easy as parents. While we all wanted our children to be seen as well behaved and special, we had nothing like the bombardment of information on how to raise the perfect child. We chose between breastfeeding and formula, with militants arrayed on each side, but generally we just got on and did our best. We had support from grandparents and extended family but now they are still working, or off travelling.
The spread of our cities has also made life difficult. Friends and family can be an hour away. Mothers work until almost the day they give birth and know few people in their local areas. New housing developments are often under resourced in public transport, access to Maternal and Child Health Centres and play groups require families to have a second car or miss out. It can be lonely being at home all day with a baby or young children. Childcare is not necessarily readily available, or affordable when mothers need to return to work.
I have every sympathy for young parents today. And I'm always delighted to hear parents say: "I just love being with the children" even if they have their occasional whinges about the drudgery.

There is no need to travel to discuss the phenomenon of the Flagship Stores, however since I had the opportunity, I will tell you some interesting things about the concept and some of its best shops.
Flagship Stores are a revolution for marketing that despite their potential they still are quite unknown.
Why are they a revolution? Because Flagship Stores are more than a store, they are pure Marketing and let's see the reasons.
|Converse Flagship Store in San Francisco.
In all terms of product and price, distribution and communication, Flagship Stores are important for the brand. Not only for their location as insignia store for the brand, but for product differentiation and for the great communication that reflects the store itself.
As I already said, a Flagship Store is more than a store, it reflects the brand image and culture in addition of being an experience for the consumer. More and more brands seek to add value to their products with these peculiar stores.
It is not just an establishment, these Flagship Store are pure. By some marketing tools they get not only reflect the brand image and culture also many Flagship Store respond to so-called fun shopping, that is, the store itself is a space where the amusement composes the experience of purchasing.
It has happened to all of us: entering a store of any brand that we like and getting so surprised that we could be in the store for hours… How do we know if we are in a real Flagship Store?
|Zara Flagship Store in Rome
Usually, these types of stores are huge, with a surface that reaches 2,000 square meters, located in downtown and with interiors and architecture so surprising, innovative and striking that invite us to come in to see the inside of the store.
As I mentioned in some previous posts, we are in the era of experiences. And as we all know the product is not going to sell by itself however the packaging or advertising it has, but consumers need an added value that surprise and convince them, and this is none other than a unique experience. For this reason, many Flagship Stores have been used to perform in them: fashion shows, concerts, new collections openings, among other actions.
A Flagship Store that we have very close and it is a clear example and space where big events like the recently described take place is none other than the Telefonica Flagship Store in Gran Via, Madrid.
|Telefónica Flagship Store in Gran Vía, Madrid.
Therefore, we may conclude that a Flagship Store is THE quintessential where the brand not only surprises its customers, but it allows them to interact with the brand in a creative, innovative and uniquely way while enjoying a unique experience.
Such differentiation achieves its results, since through a sensorial, experiential and lateral marketing they could influence consumer perceptions so that ends up affecting their behavior.
We can not deny that the Merchandising influences consumer behavior, much less if it's as impressive as those that can be found on the Flagship Stores.
Below you will find some examples of FlagShip Stores, and at the bottom, the Flaghsip Store that inspired me to write of them here today!
|CocaCola Flagship Store in Las Vegas
|Nike Flagship Store , in Singapur.
|Diesel Flagship Store, in Manhattan.
|Dior Flagship Store in Canton Road, Hong Kong.
|Desigual Flagship Store in Callao, Madrid.
|Apple Flagship Store, in Nueva York.
|BMW Flagship Store, in Paris.
|Ralph Lauren Flagship Store, in Nueva York.
In this one, the Ralph Lauren Flagship Store in New York, I want to highlight the presentation of the store they performed in 4D, where they manage to make the store dissapear in front of the consumers that were right there: The Official Ralph Lauren 4D Experience
A great example of lateral Marketing and unique experience for everyone who attended the event!
As I started this post, it was a trip that aroused my interest to investigate a little more about the Flagship Stores and its importance not only to the brand but also as a key element in what refers to Marketing. For this reason, now you will find some of the photos we took at M&M's World, The Flagship Store of M&M's in London.
I must add that if I had to highlight a type of marketing that I appreciated there, I'd say sensorial marketing in a olfactory level: it is amazing that until a week later, a T-shirt from the M & M's World continue to keep smelling like the store itself. INCREDIBLE!
|Other clear example of the Fun Shopping that I've mentioned.
|As you can see, experiential Marketing is always present.
|M&M's Wolrd, Flagship Store of M&M's, in London.

The cackles of chickens are sounds the locals hear often.
"There's a few chickens," said Nathan Walker, Fitzgerald Resident.
And they celebrate them every year.
"It showcases our community, certainly our historic downtown area, all of our community groups," said Barry Peavey Wild Chicken Festival Director.
The wild chicken festival is a tradition in downtown Fitzgerald. It started 30 years ago as the rattlesnake roundup right here on Main Street and Pine Ave. Over time, the festival changed its theme to something more fitting.
"It wasn't hard to look around and see what we should focus on and that was the hundreds of wild chickens running around in the streets," said Peavey.
Though the number of chickens is a bit smaller, and you may not see them…
"They are downtown but they get a little shy when 12,000 people show up…"
The festival keeps growing.
"Started very small, probably had 20 or 30 vendors, a little entertainment. And over the last 17 years we've become an overnight success. Nearly 100 vendors, all day entertainment, and 10 to 12,000 visitors that come to Fitzgerald," said Peavey.
"I think it's good. We only do it once a year. You get to see a lot of people you don't see regularly," Walker said.
Organizers say they see people from all over. And that wouldn't be possible, without the community.
"You see everybody enjoying what you and several other community folks have pulled together and it's just a lot of fun seeing everybody have a good time," said Peavey.

Hi Jason, first, where are the dimension options in the shipping module? We only see an area for weight.
Second, our client has wine barrel furniture and accessories and per UPS, the dimensions must be entered when shipping to get an accurate rate.
If this is going to be a problem we want to talk to someone. Our client has been waiting a long time to start using this cart.

Bass fishing in the spring can be exciting. According to Jeff Lampe of the 'Peoria Journal Star', spring is a time when the big bass are vulnerable. He advises using a jig and pork trailer, however in late April swim baits like lizards or big tubes work well in early morning or late afternoon.
Here at Mission Oak Inn, the biggest bass that has been caught is six and a half pounds and that was almost three years ago for the first one and several more have been caught. Since then many a line has been broken and our guests report having a monster on their line only to have it broke and the fish get away. We are anxiously awaiting an 8, 9, or maybe even a 10 pounder since they have grown about a pound or more a year since they were stocked in 2001. We offer fishing on our private lake for our guests with no fishing license required.

Milwaukee, June 10, 2008
The Alexandria Affordable Housing Corporation has signed on a development partner in its quest to build a new housing complex for the area. That new partner is Gorman and Company Inc., a Wisconsin based group that specializes in urban renewal projects. Gorman will oversee the construction of Legacy Heights, an affordable housing development that will consist of nearly 120 units with either 3 or 4 bedrooms.
Alexandria Housing Authority Executive Director, Wanda H. Davis said the finalization of the agreement with Gorman, "brings the reality of better housing conditions for Alexandria residents one step closer." She said the signing of Gorman marks the end of a nearly 4 month process to select a development partner.
The next step in the process will involve the securing of financing and investing for the development. Gorman General Counsel Edward Matkom said the financial phase should be completed by September. When asked about the beginning of construction on Legacy Heights, he said "shovels should be in the dirt by late October or early November."
Construction of the initial phase of Legacy Heights is expected to take 12 to 14 months. The complex will replace Wooddale Park which was demolished more than two years ago to make way for more up-to-date facilities.
For additional information regarding the Legacy Heights affordable housing development, contact Gregg Smith at (318) 327-3222.

The Faculty of Engineering at Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU) was established in 1996 by Lebanese Government decree no. 9278 as the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. In 1997 the Architecture program was moved to the newly established Ramez G. Chagoury, Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design (FAAD). The Faculty currently enrolls more than 1400 students in its three Departments and has more than 3000 Alumni around the world.
The Faculty of Engineering endeavors to offer an excellent engineering education fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the top provider of engineering accreditation worldwide. Despite its relatively young age, the Faculty of Engineering at NDU has positioned itself as one of the top engineering schools in Lebanon and the region thanks to the contribution of all: faculty, staff, students, administration and support units/committees. It is the first faculty of engineering in Lebanon to offer ABET-accredited programs at different geographical locations in parallel, namely at the main campus in Zouk-Mosbeh, the North Lebanon campus in Barsa, Koura, and the Shouf campus in Deir-El-Kamar.
All engineering curricula share a strong applied component supported by state of the art laboratory facilities. Beyond the technical expertise, emphasis is also placed on soft skills and the Faculty strives to graduate life-long learners with the right skills in terms of communication and the ability to engage in effective teamwork. All engineering students are subjected to problems and case studies involving issues related to ethics, economics, environment, and social dimensions in general. Furthermore, the Faculty strongly believes in the positive outcomes of extra-curricular activities and pushes its students and faculty members to get involved in services to the community and the profession. To that end, several on-campus chapters of international professional organizations are active in the Faculty.
I invite you to browse through this website and to visit our facilities and meet with engineering faculty members to learn more about engineering at NDU.
