Sleep is absolutely essential for good health and overall wellbeing.
We spend up to one-third of our lives asleep, however, when life gets busy, sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed. Unfortunately, when this happens, your health is also put under pressure.
Whether it's stress, diet, lifestyle or illness, there are many things that can affect the length and quality of sleep, and to get this balance just right needs a little knowledge and planning.
Good sleep is just as important for maintaining our overall health, as a balanced diet or regular physical exercise. The quality and length of sleep will affect your energy, emotions, brain and heart performance and general productivity.
Sleep is much more than time for your body to shut down. In fact, your body is hard at work while you sleep.
During sleep, your brain is working to prepare itself for the day ahead by carrying out 'biological maintenance' that keeps your whole body in good working order. Just like when you service your car – it changes the oil, recalibrates the brakes, checks the tyres and tunes the engine!
In the brain, experiences, emotions and information from the day are processed and committed to memory.
Your body also rebuilds the muscles that have been working all day and removes any harmful toxins in the body.
Heard of a 'body clock'? While you're sleeping, the body regulates the circadian rhythm, also known as your internal clock. This clock runs on a 24-hour schedule and can affect your metabolism, immune function and inflammation too.
Sounds like a lot, right? This is why your body needs not only a good length of sleep, but good quality sleep too. While there's no clear definition for good quality sleep, it's usually determined by how long it takes you to fall asleep, how often you wake up and how rested you feel when you wake up the next day.
The Australian Sleep Association reports that at least one-third of the adult population regularly suffers from significant sleep problems, and that thirty-five per cent don't feel refreshed when they wake in the morning.
Unfortunately, lack of sleep can lead to more problems than just feeling tired.
If you're lacking in sleep, you can struggle to concentrate. Memory functions slow down and you can become crankier. The brain takes longer to process information and you're less capable of making clear decisions due a reduction in normal cognitive function.
Creativity can also be hampered. A study found that getting only five hours sleep per night can decrease mental and physical performance as much as having a blood alcohol level of 0.06.
How much sleep you need depends on a number of factors and every individual has a unique need and preference.
The National Sleep Foundation breaks their sleep recommendations down by age group;
However, there are a number of additional factors that may increase or decrease how much sleep you actually need:
Genetics – Certain genetics can affect how much sleep you need every day. Certain illnesses or genetic variations, like Autism Spectrum Disorder, may affect the timing and duration of sleep. Additionally, common sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea or insomnia can affect the quality of sleep. If you think a disorder is impacting your sleep, you should seek professional advice from your doctor.
Injuries – According to Safe Work Australia, work related injuries and illnesses between 2008 – 2009 were estimated to be worth $60.6 billion. Back, wrist and shoulder pain are the most common ailments reported by workers and can lead to disturbed sleep or insomnia if not treated properly. If you're suffering from back pain, we think we've found a solution.
Bed and Mattress Quality – It's important to get a good night's sleep in a bed that is both comfortable and supportive. An ergonomic mattress is tailored to your individual size and shape.
Good quality sleep is vital to good health, so it's important to get the recommended amount per night. Here are some more tips to help you sleep well:
It's important to listen to you body. Pay attention to how you're feeing at night, when you wake up in the morning and throughout the day. Determine if you feel that you're getting enough sleep and if you feel tired and sluggish during the day, you may need to make some changes.
Make the most of your sleep – create good habits, schedule your sleep, balance your diet and choose a good bed and mattress to create the best possible sleeping environment.
At Beds for Backs, we are so obsessed with your sleep that we have designed a one-of-a-kind, world exclusive, ergonomic bed that ensures you get the best support and rest.

Hi, after three whole days I give up.
I read all the possible solutions and setup help pages, watched YouTube, all to no avail.
And before I throw away my Synology I would like the golden tip from somebody
I did install Synology Calendar (new package, so no WebDAV/Caldav) and installed DAVx5 and aCalendar+ on my Android phone.
I do see my Synology calendars in aCalendar+ and the agenda entries I make on my phone show up in my Synology NAS. Great!
When I delete entries on my phone, they are deleted on my Synology. Great!
HOWEVER : when I make a direct entry in my Synology agenda, NOTHING happens in aCalendar+ on my phone!!
And when I delete an entry on my Synology, nothing happens either in aCalendar+ on my phone.
Those changes become visible only after activating MANUAL synchronizing in aCalendar+.
Anybody an idea what can be the reason for that?

Chase Falls
Uploaded in October 2017 Editor's Assignment
On a summer road trip we stopped at the small community of Chase, BC to try and find the waterfall. After a short walk along the river we arrived to a medium size waterfall with incredible reflected light hitting the foreground rocks. It didn't take long to find a composition that highlighted the earthy tones and large rocks sticking out of the pool.

Major savings on the roof. The collector for a solar hot water system can be mounted on just about any roof with good solar exposure.
Think about what happens when a car sits in the sun all day. The dashboard and seats can get too hot to touch, while the air inside the car becomes hotter than the air outside. It's a powerful display of the sun's radiant energy. A solar thermal system harnesses the sun's energy in a very similar way. An insulated, glass-faced solar collector is filled with black-painted tubing and interior surfaces that absorb solar heat and use it to heat water for washing and/or home heating.
You may hear solar thermal systems referred to as "solar hot water systems." Both terms are accurate, and distinguish this type of system from a "solar photovoltaic" or "solar PV" system that converts sunlight into electricity. Other ways to use solar energy include direct solar gain through insulated windows —a very basic way to reduce winter heating costs, with a renewable energy source!
Is a solar PV or a solar thermal system right for your house? To find out, schedule a free solar energy evaluation with Dr. Energy Saver. Call or email today for a free solar system evaluation and estimate.
We service Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Newport News, Chesapeake, Hampton, Williamsburg, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Gloucester, Yorktown, Seaford, Smithfield, Poquoson, Carrollton, Toano, Lanexa, Hayes, Gloucester Point, Barhamsville, Fort Eustis, Surry, Fort Monroe, and more!
It's not difficult to understand why solar thermal systems are so popular. Just consider the following advantages:
In a closed-loop solar thermal system, an antifreeze solution circulates between the solar collector and a heat exchanger in the hot water tank. This approach allows the system to function year-round, with no danger of damage due to freezing weather.
When the antifreeze in the collector reaches a certain temperature, a control module activates a pump to move the hot fluid through the heat exchanger to heat the water in the tank. When solar heat is limited or unavailable, water in the tank can be heated by an electric heating element or a tankless water heater.
Call 1-757-566-8622 or contact us online to schedule a free home inspection and solar thermal system estimate. We also offer a comprehensive home energy audit.

Legends of Tomorrow 'Moonshot' Review and Recap
One thing that the Waverider hasn't really done much of since the show started is go to space, that changed this episode as the Legends of Tomorrow have to stop Eobard Thawne from going to the moon, wait what?? Spoilers for Legends of Tomorrow from this point on.
So this week's episode was all about finding the last piece of the Spear of Destiny and to a lesser extent, Rip finding his place on a team that really doesn't need him anymore. So Commander Steel was sent by Rip to 1970 in order to protect the Spear, Steel is so dedicated to protecting that he joins NASA and is able to plant the piece inside the American flag on the moon. Of course however as we saw in the last episode, Eobard is on to this and actually gets inside the Apollo 13 crew so that he can go to the moon and get it, this of course forces the crew of the Waverider and mostly Ray to get to the moon first.
This was a really fun episode, it never really go too serious and there was a lot of really fun scenes. I'm sure most will agree that the standout scene from this episode was when Victor Garber sang Day-O in order to distract everyone at NASA, and when Mick joined in it was amazing, I think that scene could be one of if not my favorite scene this season so far (well maybe second to the Legends v JSA).
Ray and Eobard had some great scenes together in this episode when they get trapped on the moon together, I really liked the banter between the two characters and hope we get more scenes of them together in the future. One of my only complaints is when Eobard says about how he misses working with Team Flash, as far as I know this version of Eobard wouldn't have been Harrison Wells and joined Team Flash but it was still nice to hear about how Eobard misses it.
Nate also got some great stuff this week as he was reunited with his grandfather. Nate wanted his grandfather to go home so that his dad would have had a father growing up and maybe would have been less cold and distant towards Nate, this was impossible though as doing something like that would have directly affected Nate himself and maybe even stopped him from becoming the time traveling superhero he is today. It was pretty emotional seeing Henry sacrifice himself to save the Legends.
That's one thing that I've loved about this season of Legends, it's how it really feels like this entire season has been mapped out since the start, in the first episode we saw a picture of Ray getting knighted in the past, that happened two episodes ago. In 'Compromised' Obsidian told Vixen that the JSA disbanded back in 1956, that came to fruition as we learned that Rip took the team to different time periods to hide the Spear. Serious props to the Legends writing team this year.
Another nice story this episode was Rip trying to fit back onto the team now that it has a new captain and how he tried to kill them all. I honestly didn't expect Rip to be so cool about Sara being captain, I mean yeah she's been the captain for a few months but the Waverider is still Rip's ship. I do think Sara is the better captain though, under Rip's command the team was almost always squabbling and failed at their missions a lot, yes most of that is still true for Sara's command but the team is much more united and willing to get the job done.
8.7/10 Legends of Tomorrow delivered another incredibly fun and enjoyable episode as we move on to the final episodes.

Project Description
Lantronix is a global provider of smart networking and communications solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.
I was approached by a local Orange County agency, Thumbworks, to create, develop and produce a number of illustrations for Lantronix, Inc. They wanted to do a humorous take on "Fred" a stereotypical IT guy. (Disclaimer: Any similarities to any persons, either living or dead is purely intentional and actually, kinda funny).
I created a few sketches of various character types and mocked up some gag scenes and the client fell in love with Fred #3. I then created a couple of fun ad panels and some stand alone characters for them to populate their website and other branding materials. The campaign was really great and we all had a good time coming up with things Fred might do. Every company has a Fred…

Published today, Clarivate Analytics has revealed its who's who on the annual Global Highly Cited Researchers (HCRs) List for 2018. Featuring among the 4000+ top drawer leading researchers across 21 fields of the sciences and social sciences covered by the Essential Science Indicator (ESI), is VHIO's Director, Josep Tabernero. Enriqueta Felip, Principal Investigator of our Thoracic Tumors & Head and Neck Cancer Group, is also named in an additional list of experts under the newly introduced category 'cross-field' to recognize the outstanding work of researchers who publish highly cited papers in several fields but not enough in any one field to be chosen.
Now in its fifth edition, the citation analysis identifies the most influential researchers as determined by their peers around the globe – those who have consistently won recognition in the form of high citation counts over a decade. The Web of Science serves as the basis for the regular listings of researchers whose citation records rank them in the top 1% for their field and year. Their consistent production of highly cited papers reflects their essential contributions and utility of their work as repeatedly judged by their peers.
VHIO Communications is delighted to announce that Josep Tabernero, also Head of the Medical Oncology Department of the Vall d´Hebron University Hospital, as well President of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), has for another year running been selected for his exceptional advancements in cancer research under the category of Clinical Medicine that lists a total of 497 named leaders this year.
Out of these, a total of ten are from Spain with five of these listees from Catalonia. This year, Josep Tabernero is in the company of an additional four leading clinical investigators in biomedicine who are also leading figures in oncology. They are: Joan Bladé, Jordi Bruix and Elías Campo from the August Pi i Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS), Josep M. Llovet, the University of Barcelona, and Jesús San Miguel at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra. On behalf of all at VHIO, we salute and congratulate Josep for this latest accolade to recognize his phenomenal achievements as well as applaud the outstanding work of these other five global leaders in oncology.
Other statistics surrounding regional concentrations of top talent reveal that Spain ranks 10th in the Top 10 list of countries with the number of Highly Cited Researchers represented, counting a total of 115. While HCRs represent more than 60 nations this year, more than 80% of them are from the 10 nations named in this list.
Devised to 'house' frontier areas of research that are frequently interdisciplinary, the newly launched cross-field category recognizes some additional 2000 researchers who have been identified as having an exceptional performance based on high impact papers in several fields during the last decade. We are proud to report that among these multi-field contributors who have been selected in on or more of the 21 broad fields, is VHIO's Enriqueta Felip. Also on this list is María Buti, Head of Hepatology at Vall d´Hebron University Hospital, the Vall d´Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. We extend our huge congratulations to them both.
Finally, we would like to recognize two other existing Highly Cited Researchers to have come from the Vall d´Hebron University Hospital 'stable' of leading physician-scientists: José Baselga, President of VHIO's Internal Scientific Committee, and Antoni Ribas at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), who was a former Resident at HUVH.

Robert Fulk, COOThe old school model of passively learning facts is no longer sufficient to prepare students to survive in today's world. Students need a dynamic classroom approach where they can actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. Project-based learning has gained a greater foothold in the classroom as it engages the pupils' heart and mind, providing real-world relevance for learning. After completing a project, students understand and retain the content longer than is often the case with traditional methods. "Project-based learning is an instructional model that involves students in investigations of compelling problems that culminate in authentic results," says Robert Fulk, COO at Centric Learning Systems. Ann Arbor, MI based Centric Learning is reforming curriculum into individual projects that encourage an inquiry or research driven approach to solving problems, understanding issues, or exploring new topics. These projects make students analyze their situation with the help of various school subjects like mathematics, language skills or social studies, to make the subject matter easier and understandable.
According to Fulk, the education system is evolving as new technologies are discovered and put to use every day, but no one is looking at new ways to learn. "There are numerous tools and solutions that are online or cloud-based, but the motive of learning something unique is non-existent," he adds. "The firms providing digitalized learning solutions do not understand the challenges being faced by teachers, principals, educators, or the students." Centric Learning's solution, HERO, was built by a group of teachers and students who were unhappy with the one-size-fits-all approach to education. These teachers now, instead of passively following a curriculum that trailed a standard text over a set time period, created appropriate projects, and recruited a team of highly qualified educators who knew their subject areas.The teachers discovered how to incorporate the learning standards in their respective disciplines to projects that were engaging and appropriate for young people.
We are not an independent software company designing what is best for education, we are educators ourselves helping change the face of education
The Centric HERO Learning solution is a cloud-based tool to bring assessment of Project Based Learn¬ing for schools. "HERO in itself is a complete learning system with curriculum and school and learning content management. It provides a thorough student experience as they go through the learning process, tracking student erudition as well as allowing them to access the learning online, face to face," adds Fulk. One of the unique features of the platform is its own accredited curriculum from grades 6 to 12. As a proven platform, HERO allows teachers to add content and manipulate a project's fit according to the needs and syllabus of the students.
The company has collaborated with renowned educational institutes Pan-America, resulting in fruitful learning experiences. Fulk states, "All the clients we have worked with want to communicate and learn very flexibly with the students. The various renowned education institutes engage our system to help them in working more flexibly within their particular school curriculum." The platform allows students to have the provision of learning not only during school hours, but anytime, anywhere. "We are not an independent software company designing what is best for education; we are helping change the face of education and learning," asserts Fulk.
The company is looking at opportunities to expand across the world with their revolutionary product. "The way that HERO is being used by the students, teachers and parents highlights the education system's need for intelligent reform. We are also foraying into the different ways the education system can be improved for the years to come," concludes Fulk.

What to Look for When Buying an Electric Roaster
There are a number of things to consider when looking for an electric roaster. Some of these are the type of material the roaster is made from, the dimensions of the roaster as well as the size of roast it can accommodate. Countertop roasters should be large enough to accommodate a family roast without taking up too much space. They are perfect for using on patio's, at holiday cabins or even in your RV.
The perfect alternative to traditional ovens and helps free up space when cooking large meals and catering for large gatherings. Let's have a look at some of the pertinent aspects to consider. Check out our review on the top rice cookers.
Dimensions & Capacity
In the electric turkey roasters, we reviewed we looked at roasters that range from 16-quart roasters to 22-quart roasters. They will accommodate from a 16-pound roast to a 24-pound roast such or even a 26-pound turkey such as the Oster roaster oven can. The dimensions of the portable roaster oven are important as you need to consider the space available to you on your countertop, you also need to consider storage space that you have available for your roaster pan.
- Capacity ( 18-Quart )
If you wish to serve out of your roaster you also need to consider the size when laying out your table. Always remember that your roaster will need at least 1 – 2 inches of space on the sides to allow for the best heat circulation (circle of heat for an even heat distrubution). The perfect pan is between 16" long and 13" wide as this size will be able to accommodate turkeys, chickens and any other roasts you wish to do.
The lid is an important aspect when it comes to size. The high dome lids allow you to accommodate larger turkeys or roasts and ensure that heat circulation is optimal and spreading an even heat distribution.
The material that the roaster is made from will affect the way that it distributes the heat throughout the roaster. This, in turn, affects the way that your roast will cook and how much heat it will retain. Enamel cook wells are not only great for heat retention and heat recirculation but also perfect for use in a dishwasher.
You also get stainless steel and porcelain options which also work well for heat distribution. Having a removable pan helps when considering how easy the roaster oven will be able to clean. Nonreactive metals are very important and work the best when cooking stews. Stainless steel, enameled steel, and even anodized aluminum are great materials to use.
Temperature Control
Most of your roaster ovens and all of the portable roaster ovens we have reviewed have temperature controls. These usually have a temperature range from 150 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and this is perfect for when roasting or as a slow cooker as well as a baking kitchen appliance. Looking for a toaster oven?
Energy Savings
Everybody likes to save money and saving on energy will lower your electricity bills. Electric roasters are designed to lower the power use in comparison to traditional ovens and kitchen appliance tools, thus they will not only save you in time but also energy, which relates to lower electrical bills.
Additional Features
There are some kitchen appliance roasters that are more than just oven roasters. You get those that are also smokers, such as the Oster smoker/roaster. You also get those that have a buffet server option which makes it easy to serve your guests. Having removable pans and racks also make your life a lot easier when using your roaster.

According to a study conducted by Dermatologists in Copenhagen, Denmark, layering sunscreen boosts the effects of the product. They found that when sunscreen was applied several times a day, it accumulated on the skin and offered protection that stayed, even days later.
Doctors put SPF on volunteers either once or three times daily for five days then photo-tested their skin. Results showed that those who received repeat applications had more sunscreen particles on the skin on day five (even after bathing) versus those who got a single daily application.
Given these findings, consider layering on SPF sunscreen regularly – especially before going out, to provide extra protection from sunburn and skin damage. In fact, this does not differ from the instructions found on most sunscreen products – they typically recommend applying sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside. The trick is to reapply throughout the day to ensure protection and maintain healthy skin.

NEW YORK (May 1, 2017)—Top-level executives and quality professionals see a direct connection between the success of their continuous improvement or performance excellence initiatives and the success of their organizations as a whole, according to new research from Forbes Insights and ASQ. In fact, close to half of all survey respondents say their quality efforts have resulted in increased profitability and have enhanced important key functions across their organizations.
The report—"The Rising Economic Power of Quality: How Quality Ensures Growth and Enhances Profitability"—focuses on the links between quality efforts and corporate performance, as well as the evolving business value of quality.
The research draws on the responses of 1,000 senior executives and 869 quality professionals worldwide from a multitude of industries. The survey was conducted online in March 2017.
The results reveal that quality has a direct impact on profit growth. Organizations embracing continuous improvement or performance excellence in a significant way are more likely to see higher levels of productivity than those who are lagging in quality efforts. The areas of the business that benefit the most from quality initiatives include boosting customer growth and sales, followed by efficiency gains. Areas most likely to be touched by quality initiatives include operations, customer service and production.
"The speed of business just keeps accelerating, and disruptions are multiplying," said Bruce Rogers, Chief Insights Officer at Forbes Media. "Thriving in this environment means infusing quality through every part of the enterprise."
"Organizations that implement effective and innovative quality initiatives often experience increased profitability because of their emphasis on customer needs," said ASQ CEO William Troy.

Ideally, the website usability is one of the most unnoticed areas of web design. Although it should be the area that should be paid more attention often it is overlooked. Indeed, it should be a prior concern of a web designer when designing a website. Once the website is launched a usability test should be run to ensure the website is free from errors before making it go live. In this article, we will look upon handy tips and ways that can improve the usability of your website.
Choose color with care
Color consideration is very important, it's one of the major factors that affect the user experience. Color selection should be done selectively keeping in mind what colors would the audience prefer. Plan a good color contrast for the user interface design of your website. Make sure you create a balanced color contrast between the background color and font color.
Contextual links
The screen readers have the option to navigate the webpage through skipping from link to link until they find the real content they're searching for. As the link is selected, it is read by the browser and if the link contains "click here" or "see more" option, this means that these links will provide no information related to what users are searching for. The benefit of using a contextual link is that it gives a boost to the SEO of the site.
Use of Alt text
Alt text short for alternative text defines an image, graphic, video or any media that doesn't have any words attached to it. Many websites don't have this added to their websites or don't know how to use it. When alt text is attached to the image it's assured that the message is conveyed effectively through the image. All these tactics will make your website more accessible and useful to provide an engaging experience to the visitors.
Provide alternative content
An essential web principle is to make the content available to everyone irrespective of its disability. Content like audio for certain users can be provided in an alternative way to the users. The same information provided in the audio can be presented in the form of content to the screen readers. Similarly, written content can be presented in the form of audio for the users that are blind.
Guide users through tab indexes
People who use the keyboard frequently are familiar with the tab key that helps you move through one field to another easily. Through a logical order, the site is accessed which is very important when navigating through forms. A simple click on the tab button will jump onto the next box that you can fill up with the keyboard without touching the mouse. It will also benefit users who don't have a mouse to navigate the website.
The above-mentioned tips are simple and easy to use that will help make your site more accessible and ensure the visitors get seamless user experience and stay engaged with your site.

Ever since alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulous sent actress Leslie Jones a string of deeply offensive tweets, insulting the comedian's race and intelligence, Twitter has made banning abusive accounts a priority.
At the time, the company offered a statement, which read in part:
"… our rules prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others . . . we've seen an uptick in the number of accounts violating these policies and have taken enforcement actions against these accounts, ranging from warnings that also require the deletion of Tweets violating our policies to permanent suspension.
"We know many people believe we have not done enough to curb this type of behavior on Twitter. We agree. We are continuing to invest heavily in improving our tools and enforcement systems to better allow us to identify and take faster action on abuse as it's happening and prevent repeat offenders."
Recently Twitter suspended many more accounts associated with the alt-right, which is the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as "a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that 'white identity' is under attack by multicultural forces using 'political correctness' and 'social justice' to undermine white people and 'their' civilization."
Included among them was the verified account of Richard Spencer, which The Washington Post described as a leader of the alt-right and "one of the most media-savvy thinkers in the movement."
Twitter also suspended the account of the Virginia-based National Policy Institute, an alt-right, white nationalist think tank of which Spencer is the president, and that of Radix Journal, a magazine run by Spencer.
Paul Town, Pax Dickinson, Ricky Vaughn and John Rivers also had their accounts suspended.
In response, Spencer posted a video to YouTube, in which he said, "I am alive physically, but digitally speaking, there has been execution squads across the alt-right."
"It's corporate Stalinism, in the sense that there is a great purge going on, and they're purging people on the basis of their views," Spencer said.
He said these suspensions are unlike Yiannopoulous's.
"I supported people like Milo when they were banned from Twitter, but Milo was engaging in something that could be called 'harassment,'" Spencer said of the man who used the platform to call Jones "barely literate," "fat and ugly, ugly, ugly, fat" and "a hot black dude."
Added Spencer, "Again, I totally think he should have stayed."
Spencer, though, drew a sharp distinction between the way Yiannopoulous used the platform and the way he did.
"I and a number of other people who just got banned were not even trolling," he said. "I was using Twitter just like I always used Twitter: to give people some updates and maybe comment on a news story here and there."
Instead, Spencer said he thinks this was a "coordinated effort to just wipe out alt-right Twitter" in response to arguments that social media helped elected Donald Trump.
"Twitter and probably Facebook too … I think they are deeply triggered by Trump's election," Spencer said. "I think they're triggered by this narrative that social media helped elect Trump and they think that they have to do something about it. Well, the fact is social media did help elect Trump."
Heidi Beirich, spokeswoman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, told the USA Today that the organization had previously asked Twitter to remove more than 100 accounts of white supremacists but said on Monday (before the suspensions), "They have done nothing."
Spencer compared the account suspensions to the Night of Long Knives, also known as Operation Hummingbird in which Hitler, ordered "a bloody purge of his own political party, assassinating hundreds of Nazis whom he believed had the potential to become political enemies in the future," according to History.com.
The video's title is "The Knight of Long Knives," obviously a play on the operation's name.
Many on Twitter expressed confusion and outrage concerning Spencer's suspension.
"Richard Spencer advocates for my people, doesn't hate anyone, is a gentleman, and a friend, and Twitter suspended him," one user tweeted. "Pax Dickinson and Richard Spencer have been banned from Twitter. The left knows social media helped Trump and is cracking down," tweeted another.
Spencer said that this is could be seen as a victory for the alt-right movement.
"This is a clear sign that we have power," he said. "Even if it's in our own little small way … we have power, and we're changing the world."
Twitter did not respond to a request for comment from USA Today, stating, "We don't comment on individual accounts, for privacy and security reasons."
Finally, Spencer mentioned that he might transition to GAB, a social media platform used by many who identify with the alt-right. It prides itself on free speech. On its landing page, the platform included a quote from writer and poet Charles Bukowski, "Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others."

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Lafazanis and his Russian counterpart Alexander Novak signed the memorandum earlier Friday.
"Greece wants to become a hub for energy diversification in the region. To implement Greece's wish, it wants diversified energy policy… Greece is a small country, but it can play a very important role for stability. Therefore at this difficult time for Greece we do not want pressure, but we need cooperation," Lafazanis said.
According to the minister, Athens is also ready to discuss the options for renewal of discussion on the Russia-led Trans-Balkan Burgas–Alexandroupoli oil pipeline project.
The Turkish Stream pipeline, proposed in December 2014, will run across the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey. The hub on the Greek-Turkish border will receive an annual 47 billion cubic meters of gas, while the entire pipeline project will have a full capacity of 63 billion cubic meters, according to Russian energy giant Gazprom.
Turkish Stream gas is expected to start flowing in December 2016.

The Toledo Museum of Art will help viewers learn to decode such messages with a new series of free visual language classes that begin Saturday, Nov. 7. The Museum offered similar classes in June, July and August and has brought the series back after rave reviews from participants.
The "learning to look" classes help participants interpret visual clues or the language of the visual world. The workshops use objects from the Museum collection to engage with theories and methods for understanding imagery within art and in the world at large.
"We've had a great response to these classes from many area companies, TMA staff and volunteers," said Mike Deetsch, Emma Leah Bippus director of education at the Museum. "This is a really thought-provoking, educational experience that's part of our broader initiative to teach visual literacy."
Visual literacy is the ability to read, comprehend and write visual language – or the ability to identify, read and understand images and their sometimes covert or culturally influenced meanings.
Form is the focus on Saturday, Nov. 7, as the series kicks off. The workshop will explore connections between form, function and a viewer's emotional response to images. The second class in the series, on Saturday, Nov. 14, explores Symbols. Participants will learn how images become symbols that convey meaning and how memory and personal experience affect interpretation of images, their significance and meaning. On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Ideas workshop will investigate context and how history and culture affect the way viewers respond to images.
The Museum will present two opportunities to wrap up the series with a class on Meaning: Saturday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 12. This workshop will investigate the relationships among the visual languages of form, symbols and ideas. To get the most from this workshop, participants should attend the previous workshops.
Each class is from noon to 2 p.m. Space is limited; advanced registration is required. Register for the free classes at http://www.toledomuseum.org/learn/classes/

HTC made a killing in the Android market with its HTC One line of phones. Now, after many years, HTC is finally making a phone for Windows. After buying Nokia's devices and services, what kind of phone will Microsoft bring to the market? According to the ever reliable @evleaks, a new Windows Phone 8.1 will be released under HTC, and it is planned to made for Verizon.
A recent tweet has dubbed the phone HTC ONE REMIX.
No leaks have arrived about the specs of the phone just yet but we do know that its a Windows Phone. It will probably have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor as well. The Name Remix indicates that it might be associated with music. The rest of the user interface is predictable because its a Windows Phone. Since its Microsoft and HTC, we can assume that the form factor of the phone will be premium.
HTC tries to keep high standards for its phones and the M8's aluminum unibody design may be incorporated into the HTC One Remix as well. We might also see duel cameras similar to ones on the HTC (M8). We may see the 4MP UltraPixel camera or maybe a better camera sensor. Or maybe they will try to keep the bar low on this one, who knows.
They used to make cutting-edge phones for Microsoft with Windows Phone OS in them but its been a while since then. HTC has not shown us a good Windows Phone in years. The last phone they released for Windows was the HTC 8XT and it was not bad but not really all that good either. We will post new information on the new HTC Windows Phone as more information arrives. Until than, keep your eyes on the @evleaks twitter feed for more leaks than you can handle. We will keep our eyes peeled as well.

A guided-missile destroyer patrolling the Arabian Gulf took time to render humanitarian aid after coming across three Iranian fishermen in distress, officials with the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group said this week.
The USS Nitze was alerted Nov. 18 by the carrier Eisenhower, also operating in the Middle East, of the presence of a small fishing vessel in distress. The crew of the Nitze located and identified the vessel, officials said, and the crew immediately stepped in to render aid.
The very small fishing boat, shown in Navy photographs to be little more than a rowboat with a motor, was stranded due to a dead battery, the crew found. The Nitze gave the crew a new battery and a case of water to prevent dehydration.
"Our Sailors are trained to respond quickly to those in distress at sea," Cmdr. Paul Kaylor, commanding officer of the Nitze, said in a statement. "We are proud to have assisted in this situation."
The ship has had a very eventful deployment since it left port in June for its seven-month pump. In August, the Nitze was harassed by four small Iranian boats while in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting it to fire off warning flares. The incident highlighted ongoing tension between U.S. and Iranian naval forces, though it did not result in any military escalation.
And in October, the Nitze was called on to respond to two separate missile attacks originating from the coast of Yemen that targeted the destroyer Mason, another ship in the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group. On Oct. 12, the ship fired five Tomahawk missiles, destroying three radar sites in Yemen controlled by Houthi rebels and believed to have been used to target the American ships.
Strike group officials noted that the Navy has a long tradition of helping distressed mariners from many countries, providing medical and engineering assistance as well as search-and-rescue assets when needed.
To date, ships deployed to waters around the Middle East, within U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, have helped mariners in need on more than 30 occasions. On 12 of those occasions, the mariners were Iranian, officials noted in the release.
The deployment of the Nitze and the rest of the strike group is expected to continue until early next year.

Nutrition in my life-
Food and nutrition has always been a big part of my life in trying to not only achieve the highest and most elite level of athletic performance but also in leading an all-around healthy lifestyle. In dealing with an eating disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and a lactose intolerance, I have spent the last few years navigating the ins and outs of the world of nutrition and how it relates to all aspects of my life (emotional, physical, physiological, etc.). With so much personal experience behind me I felt compelled to share this knowledge with the hope that others may pursue a holistic and well-rounded life like me.
Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching-
In order to share this knowledge in the most informed way possible I obtained my Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching Certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (view certificate: NASM Certificate).
So what is a nutrition and lifestyle coach?
A nutrition and lifestyle coach is there to offer nutritional, behavioral, and wellness guidance to help you accomplish your performance, athletic, or other lifestyle goals. A nutrition coach is also there to hold you accountable, motivate you, and keep you informed on the latest nutritional guidelines and practices.
**Disclaimer: A nutrition coach is NOT a certified medical professional or a nutritionist/Registered Dietician (RD) and as such I will not be able to help or offer advice to those with chronic health problems related to nutrition (i.e. health problems, Diabetes, and Eating Disorders). If you feel that you may or may not meet this criteria please take my Potential Client Survey and I will get in touch with you (LINK BELOW).
I believe in the power of eating a well-balanced diet that fits the specific needs and goals of the individual. Several of my nutrition and wellness philosophies include ideas like "eat the rainbow", everything is good in moderation, and physical exercise and meditation is key to balancing out your diet and maintaining a healthy holistic lifestyle. Balance is key! What I DO NOT believe in is strict calorie counting, cutting out certain food groups, or other extreme diet fads.
Work with me and lets find your balance!

Epidaurus Festival: Young Talents
As expected, the 9th annual Epidaurus Festival opened with an interesting, delightful performance by the Sicilian nu-folk trio Oi Dipnoi.
Today (Sept 11): an exhibit (To Marusja) & a piano recital
The second day of Epidaurus Festival continues to invite. Today, the visitors may expect to be delighted by a combined audio-visual programme, that is, they are first to enjoy the exposition of paintings by Luce Đuraš, with featured flower triptych of Cavtat's own beloved late painter Marusja Brautović, followed by the piano recital by the French pianist Sophia Vaillant.
11.9. Friday @ 8pm, Cultural Centre, Cavtat
To MARUSJA, Art exposition - Luce Đuraš, with featured flower triptych of Marusja Brautović
Pianiste subtile – piano recital
Sophia Vaillant, pianist (Francuska / France)
Mediterando with Oi Dipnoi
Summer stage in Cavtat, September 9th 2015 @ 8:30pm
The already 9th annual Epidaurus Festival will this year run for 10 days - September 9th through 19th, and will open with delightful sounds by the Sicilian nu-folk trio Oi Dipnio which you can enjoy free of charge on the Summer stage from 8:30.
About the Epidaurus Festival
In their own words: "The Epidaurus Festival is a festival of music which will also include other artistic events (drama, theatre, literature, poetry, various presentations, folklore, educative programmes, matinees for young talents, getting to know the area, its beauty, nature, tradition, etc.)."
Ivana Marija Vidović, Artistic director of the Epidaurus festival: (...)"My wish is that every sound produced at Epidaurus Festival would merge with Cavtat's magical hug, and that every word, every verse, whether sung or spoken, would, for centuries to come, continue to echo throughout its old streets, the very same ones that -- within and of themselves -- had been a stage for centuries already."
This year's edition of the Epidaurus Festival finished its beautiful run with theatrical performance of one of the world's best know literature works, Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. The story was first published in book form on September 1, 1952 (the first edition print run was 50,000 copies).
Here told by Ivan Horvat, the story unfolds from the perspective of Manolin, underlying throughout the importance of our ilfe long learning process with all its challenges.
A truly wonderful performance delivered by Ivan Horvat, directed by Ana Merlin, quickly won over the audience. The backdrop scene of the port of Cavtat with its little wooden boats and a few guest sails only heightened the effects of Horvat's excellent performance.
Thumbs up for Epidaurus Festival team headed by the pianist and EF Art Director Ivana Marija Vidović!

Epidaurus Festival: An excellent hommage to Bukovac and entertaining Spyri's Heidi followed by tonight's Hemingway curtain drop
Epidaurus Festival flamencoed into its 7th edition; next up: 'Bukovac' lecture and exclusive film projection
The 7th edition of the Epidaurus Festival opened with Flamenco dancers.
Needless to say, the Villa Banac terrace was filled with spectators, locals and tourists alike.
We expect the festival to continue this year's run with as much enthusiasm and fun performances as it did in its previous editions, and will follow up on their up-coming events.

Kapuziner Winter Weissbier
Today's beer come from the Kulmbacher brauerei's Kapuziner line. The Kapuziner line is solely dedicated to brewing different types of wheat beers and this is the Winter Weissbier variety.
This beer pours a dark cloudy amber with a caramel colored fluffy head that lingered for quite awhile. The aroma is fresh cut grass with hints of citrus and spice. The taste is crisp, with hints of citrus and spice. A very good wheat beer. Not my favorite but very tasty just the same.
