Independence Science seeks to promote the full integration of students who are blind or have low vision (BLV) into hands-on science laboratory learning experiences. Traditionally, students with BLV are paired with a sighted counterpart to serve as their eyes in the laboratory. Although this approach can be effective at completing laboratory course requirements, it does not instill in the mind of the student with BLV that they can perform these tasks independently.
Independence Science actively seeks partnerships with science education technology companies, access technology firms, and other educational researchers that are interested in opening doors of opportunity for students who are blind or have other disabilities in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study.
Independence Science is committed to building equity in the STEM classroom through the development of new innovative access technology solutions. We are working to open more doors of opportunity in the science laboratory and other areas of STEM.
There is significant under-representation of the blind and persons with other disabilities in STEM. A more inclusive STEM workforce is to the advantage of everyone.

DAX Xetra (cash index)
The rally has fallen over as the bears seem to be regaining a grasp on the market and concern grows with the fact that the rally failed in the overhead supply suggesting a key ceiling is now forming on the DAX.
A resistance band of the old lows between 11,726/11,865 caught the high from this rebound at 11,848 and with two successive bear candles the pressure is mounting once more to the downside.
This comes as momentum indicators roll over and it reflects a position that rallies continue to be seen as a chance to sell.
The hourly chart shows continued failure under the old downtrend channel, whilst momentum indicators are posting renewed sell signals.
A bear cross on the MACD lines comes as RSI and Stochastics both falling with further downside potential too.

What is happening to the fashion industry?
2018 has been a rough year for many companies in the fashion industry in Scandinavia. Well-established clothing chains have in recent years got it tougher. This applies not least to Gothenburg-related companies such as Kappahl and MQ which have been treated stiffly by the stock market. Many will remember the newspaper headlines that painted grim prospects for fashion companies. One of the most notorious economic declines of the past year was that of H&M who saw its share price decrease dramatically during 2018 due to unmet growth expectations. The company has reported a profit before tax of SEK 1.263 million for the period December-February, the first quarter of the company's gross fiscal year. During the corresponding period in 2017 the company saw a profit of SEK 3.212 million [1]. H&M's share price has improved since then, but the shaking market has shown that the fashion industry is going through some turbulent times. In fact, the fashion market is no longer growing in the West with the same pace it has in the past. This is leading to a fierce competition among companies resulting in reduced profit margins for those who are less able to pick on new trends and swiftly adapt their offering.
How digital is overlapping physical
A development that has certainly not escaped your attention is that the fashion world is increasingly moving online. In Sweden, clothes and shoes are the most popular items to shop online and the online fashion-trade had a good 2018. The year's growth amounted to 13 percent, which was in line with last year's result. This means that the industry grew with SEK 1.3 billion online for a total e-commerce sale of SEK 11.6 billion in 2018 which corresponds to an e-commerce share of 18 percent [2].
In the past year the amount of Swedish digital consumers buying clothes, shoes and bags has increased to 68% and women are the most assiduous shoppers [2]. 71% of women shop online at least once a month. Women aged between 18 and 49 years are in fact the identikit of the busiest web surfers in search of the best opportunities. Therefore, companies in the fashion industry have realized the importance of having a mature digital presence. In Scandinavia, customers acquired the habit of looking for information and shopping online earlier than in many other countries. For most companies the digitization journey has gone relatively well and proves the importance of the digital channel since a growing part of sales is now made online. What a few years ago was an exciting virgin space and at the same time an expensive logistical concern, is seen today as an obvious reality. It is crucial that marketing and sales can take place digitally.
What are the main challenges?
Although the transition to the digital world has worked well so far, it has not been - and still isn't - painless. To maintain profitability, cope with competition and remain updated in the digital arena is the fashion companies' greatest challenge. To maintain the interest of consumers, who can have a fast and fleeting purchasing behavior, companies must stay constantly on the alert and pick-up on whatever are the hottest ongoing trends. Companies must, therefore, make sure to have efficient business processes, which in turn places high demands for outstanding business systems.
A major transformation of an industry is said to have taken place when digital commerce reaches 15 percent. In Sweden, this took place in the fashion industry in 2017 [3]. With big players such as Zalando in the e-market and new even bigger ones such as Amazon imminently entering the game, fashion brands need to be focused on what can give them a sustainable future. When competition gets harder, the classic market forces hit and those that are not able to sustain them will be screened out. The keywords for the challenged management teams are and will remain for the unforeseeable future: brand loyalty and customer retention. Companies should be weary of the fact that they need to do their utmost best to create devotion to their brand, sustain their sales as well as create all the reasons they can to attract new customers to their stores.
Can experiential save the physical?
It's no longer enough to succeed by establishing a store online, many more parameters must fall into place. One of the most important ingredients to success is providing a good customer experience which has of course always been essential. But nowadays, it is even more vital to excel in creating outstanding experiences from the website right up to the moment of the final delivery. Part of the solution to this quest can still be those very physical stores that are now seeing declines in sales. Indeed, digitalization and e-commerce will not completely knock out the physical stores. Consumers are still interested in the physical shopping experience, but companies must at the same time have stable digitalized shopping channels that are attractive. Showrooms in various forms will probably always be needed, but they need not be cast in the same shape as today's traditional store-concept. Hence, companies also need to choose business systems that are designed to handle both trade in physical stores and e-commerce in different markets. The stores that are designed as real experiences and which offer excellent service, according to many in the industry, will have a good future.
Many examples of this are already taking shape in Scandinavia such as H&M's new test-store in Fältöversten's shopping mall in Stockholm. This store is currently being used by the fast-fashion giant to test new concepts [4]. The goal is to achieve a completely new shopping experience for the consumer. Several new digital solutions are being tested that will increase the store's service level. When it comes to the product range, items from H&M's collection have been chosen to fit the specific tastes of customers in the area. This has been supplemented also by smaller external brands that are relevant and that complement their own offering. The locale has its own coffee shop and it's also possible to get a manicure as well as makeup there. This means that even a mass consumer brand like H&M now understands the value of experiential marketing, an old tool in the marketeer's toolbox. In fact, a marketing strategy that directly engages consumers and invites them to participate in a shopping experience may be the best way brands have to ease the development of a customer relationship.
We at Wrapp have looked at the data of H&M's specific test-store. It showed us that the test-store has performed quite well compared to the old traditional store that used to be in its place. The figures do not show any decrease in customer interest but rather sales seem to have been on par with the previous year and in specific months it has even surpassed it.
How to make sense of the overlap between physical and digital
So if physical stores will still be part of the larger strategy of fashion stores even when e-commerce increases its weight. Fashion brands need to start finding ways to have a holistic view of how their business is going both online and offline.
Wrapp's Analytics based on transaction data literally revolutionizes the way brands can keep track of their performance by enabling them to make smarter decisions based on real-time transaction data that includes both online and offline purchases. Market shares, competition's analysis and overall market intelligence is an important component to any business strategy. The more precise is the data, the easier it is to make justified decisions. The best part of Wrapp Analytics is that the validity of the data is resolute and reliable. Due to the ever-growing sample size of Wrapp's users, the collected data keeps increasing making its analysis more and more impeccable.
How to gratify your customers and build long-term growth
As mentioned above, fashion companies are all about understanding trends and customer's appeals. The fashion brands that first present the products that are in line with the latest vogue win the most. But product offering sometimes is not enough and companies need that extra engagement to build loyalty to their brand, understand their customers to the fullest and obtain growth that lasts beyond the latest fad. What fashion brands need is a deeper awareness of who their customer is: demographics, buying behavior, brand preferences. But how can a fashion brand obtain such data? Again, this is how the newest data-driven technology of digital marketing comes into the mix. We have been working hard to create a system that can help brands accurately learn about their customers and reward them with little effort for coming back to their stores increasing retainment. We call it Transaction-Driven-Marketing (#TDM).
TDM means marketing based on the customer's transaction data. Simply put, customers consciously lend their transaction data, which is most often collected through their pay-cards, and in return receive rewards that actually reflect their brand preferences. This is achieved through intelligent algorithms that after being fed enough historical purchasing data can provide statistically validated predictions of brand preferences and upcoming buying behavior. One may confidently say that TDM is the new way companies can build both customer loyalty and brand relevance. TDM is the key to building successful targeting campaigns, as well as empowering data-driven decisions that will improve the performance of marketing departments of both online and offline retailers. A big part of reaping TDM's potential is based on measuring the performance of ongoing sales and campaigns. Moreover, Wrapp allows its clients a full overview of their clientele's characteristics, when and how much they are spending as well as highly detailed market intelligence.
All this knowledge and understanding of the factors that are in play when operating as a fashion retailer, allows for useful insights on the steps to take for maintaining a close relationship with your targeted customer. Ultimately, it is time for marketeers to acknowledge that achieving success does not only mean higher profit growths. But in a more profound way, it also means creating engagement with their brand and producing the desired experiences that can only be conceived by understanding their customers and the market they operate in.Join our community of retailers on our platform for free and start viewing your customers' data.

Sad but true: Most couples experience a decline in the quality of their relationship after the first child is born. It's hardly surprising. That helpless baby totally changes the balance in the family. Add in new-parent fatigue and the disruption to your sex life (yes, less or even no sex is normal at this stage of life) and it's easy to see why new parenthood throws a curve into marriages.
So pay attention to your couplehood. That may be partly about having date nights or other we-time. But your relationship is not this little island that exists outside of the baby. The baby is part of it now. So share the ups and downs of new parenthood, work as a team and listen to each other. The baby doesn't have to be a wedge between you. He can bring you together.
Here's the bonus: Ex-pat Canadians Phillip and Carolyn Cowan started out, 30 years ago, to develop a course that would help couples weather new parenthood. What they found was revolutionary: When parents got help with their relationship, they also used more effective parenting techniques. In other words, learning to be good partners will help you become good parents.

Lower Churchill Loan Guarantee Gets 'Thumbs Up' from Canadians
A new national survey by Ottawa-based Abacus Data finds that a majority of Canadians support the plan for the federal government to provide a loan guarantee of $4 billion to help support the Lower Churchill River hydro-electric project.
Nationally, 63% of Canadians supported the plan to guarantee the loan, while 20% were opposed. Support was particularly strong in Ontario, Alberta and Atlantic Canada. Opposition to a federal government loan guarantee was highest in Quebec, where 46% said they opposed the plan compared with 21% who supported it.
"There is a strong national consensus that a loan guarantee for the Lower Churchill River project is a good idea", said David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data. "Supporters of the loan guarantee tell us that the project means economic benefits for the entire country, for the Atlantic region, and the encouragement of clean energy production."
Resistance to the plan in Quebec was based mainly on feelings that the loan guarantee was unfair to Quebec among nationalists and supporters of the Bloc Quebecois.
"The only hurdle for any federal government is opposition in Quebec which is mainly concentrated among BQ supporters," said Coletto. "In our past research we have found strong national support for hydro-power generation and the results from this poll confirm those findings."
Between April 11 and 15, 2011, Abacus Data Inc. conducted an online survey among 1,005 randomly selected Canadian adults from an online panel of over 75,000 Canadians. The margin of error—which measures sampling variability—is comparable to +/- 3.2%, 19 times out of 20.
Results of the survey were statistically weighted by gender, age, region, immigrant status, and education using census data from Statistics Canada and by past vote using Elections Canada results from the 2008 General Election. Totals may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
To review a detailed report and the survey's methodology, download the report here.

From computer to car. From state to street. The No. 1 Fan draws near. Meanwhile, Nash learns what the other side of 140 characters feels like as she picks up the pieces to a life post-privacy.
It's eerie how on point No. 1 with a Bullet is with the headlines in today's news. The comic hits a number of very relevant social issues in a way that makes way too much sense. This can happen. It would not be surprising at all to see a similar story pop up in the news tomorrow. It deals with how we handle fame, sex, technology, and fandom and where the lines are crossed with each. Read Full Review
The second issue of No 1 With a Bullet gets a little more personal. Introducing a culture that is a funhouse mirror to our own, we are given an in-depth look at how media and gossip can affect the individual. More importantly, we see the dehumanization of a woman. A subject all too many people are apt to ignore, Semahn pulls the ugly culture into the light and has no qualms about reflecting that mirror back on us. Read Full Review
The opening issue of this series was great, and this issue builds on that solid foundation.

Ultimately then, while No 1 With A Bullet is far from a comfortable read, its still an impressively engaging one.

Read Full Review
No. 1 With A Bullet has gone from moving in the right direction to sprinting toward perfection in its second issue.

Shockingly terrifying in a great way Read Full Review
No. 1 With a Bullet #2 is a dramatic and heavy issue showing how much one video Nash didnt know about viciously tears apart her life. Nash herself is a compelling protagonist capable of holding up the story, and the art is solid, too. This one earns a recommendation, and you should check it out. Read Full Review
Whatever reservations I may have had about No. 1 With a Bullet in the first issue have been largely dispelled by its second. This creative team is really coming together and presenting a blunt, unapologetic treatise on how we relate to each other in the 21st century, and all the horrors that entails. As perverse (and ironic) as it may sound, I can't wait to see more. Read Full Review
'No. 1 With A Bullet' is a tale ripped from today's headlines told with worts and all. It's a sobering look at the impact it does to someone's life as embodied by Semahn's heroine. As painful and as uncomfortable as the topic of online abuse and public shaming is, Semahn and Corona don't pull any punches while creating an engrossing and mesmerizing story. And it's just getting started. Read Full Review
Boundary breaking (literally and figuratively) lettering and layout, along with color style, takes a tale that has played out for many people before and gives it new life, helping readers see revenge porn through the eyes of the victim and understand the pain it causes. Read Full Review
I love the art style used in this series. It feels rougher, almost like I'm seeing the artwork before it has had a chance to get smoothed out. It makes everything feel more alive and organic. The color palettes compliment it nicely " sometimes they border on the monochromatic side, such as lots of shades in the same family used for one scene. This really helped to identify which scene was which sometimes. Most of the colors were also muted or pastels (nothing like what is on the cover) which really helped to support the heavier and more somber plot. Read Full Review

Ballycastle SDLP Councillor Dónal Cunningham has warmly welcomed the decision by Moyle District Council to grant aid Rathlin Development and Community Association's funding for their Renewable Energy Project through the Community Infrastructure Fund.
The Project which proposes to install a 3 bladed 250kw wind turbine, will be the first community managed renewable energy project of its kind in the North. It will move the island further away from its reliance on fossil fuels and help develop Rathlin as a carbon neutral island generating electricity from renewable sources
The award of £4,225 will be used to fund technical costs and surveys required to bring the project to planning application stage.
" This is an excellent project, it presents fantastic opportunities in terms of community empowerment and as an environmental project. As well as the obvious environmental advantages of renewable energy, it also offers the island community the opportunity to generate income and employment. I congratulate the dynamism of the Rathlin Development and Community Association in particular the dedication to this project displayed by their newly elected Chairman Michael Cecil and wish them every success in this and other projects"

In April 2019, new hand-baggage-only fares were rolled out on select medium-haul routes operated by Rossiya Airlines and Aeroflot to destinations in Germany and Italy. Based on the results of this initiative, there has proved to be steady demand for this offering as a more budget-friendly economy option compared to baggage-inclusive fares.
"We're committed to offering the best option for those who want to travel light and on a budget, and for those who want a premium flight experience", said Andrei Chikhanchin, Aeroflot Deputy CEO for Commerce and Finance.
Economy class passengers can choose between a far inclusive of a checked bag (up to 23 kg and the sum of 3 dimensions not exceeding 158 cm) or a carry on-only fare, so that they do not pay for a service they do not need. With the roll-out of this offering, Aeroflot, as a premium carrier traditionally providing superior comfort, makes flying even more affordable for its passengers. Hand-baggage-only fares are the best way to travel light and on a budget throughout Aeroflot Group's extensive route network.
A discounted price for checked baggage applies if passengers pay in advance when booking or after purchasing the ticket on the company's website, via the mobile app, in sales offices or through authorized agents. A discount for checked baggage also applies on the departure day, if the service is purchased through the website or the Aeroflot mobile app.
Further information is available at the airline's 24-hour call centre: +7 495 223 5555, 8-800-444-5555 (free call in Russia), via the contact centre's global free-call numbers (available on the website: https://www.aeroflot.ru/ru-en/offices/free_numbers), or at the airline's sales offices. Information on baggage and carry-on allowance rules is available on the Baggage page.

Artistry in 20 acts
Behind the three chefs dressed in white is a row of coat hooks left over from the time when the whole house was a theatre. But the show that goes on here today may be filled with even more artistry and craftsmanship. Imouto is an experience for all the senses where you and seven other guests sit in front row seats and experience a spectacle in almost 20 acts. You are served from the wooden shelf that surrounds the bar and constitutes all of Imouto. You are waited on from behind by an efficient and professional service staff. The beverages are expertly recommended – riesling, sake and Japanese beer are all quite right. From the first serving of Japanese snacks, pickled eggs and cream made from fermented garlic, you are ushered into Sayan Isaksson's world of flavour. It continues with a sublime mini bowl of dried cod skins stuffed with monkfish liver and topped with seaweed meringue. With the next serving, a mini-bundle of dried soy milk skin with black roe and smoked crabmeat, the taste sensation is complete. And it mostly continues in this vein. Not least, the spectacular serving of langoustine in different contexts that is tonight's showstopper. First, it is killed with a direct stab of the knife, and then the ultra-fresh meat is threaded onto sticks. In the final serving it lies seared on rice with red wine vinegar, browned beef tallow and smoked salt on top. Even if Sayan Isaksson disagrees, this is a signature dish. The display of nigiri pieces offers only the best seafood from Scandinavian waters: perch, zander, char, rainbow trout, octopus, eel, redfish, turbot, mackerel... The zander is the most impressive, only brushed with smoked soy; the farmed eel, flash-grilled; and the charcoal-grilled turbot served with white seaweed and ramson oil. The leftover fish heads from the zander and redfish are roasted while the next course is served. From cheeks and chin the meat is plucked, then mixed with innards from the langoustines into a refined blend served in a temaki cone with ramson oil and salmon roe. When a few delicious profiteroles stuffed with ice cream made from bean paste and caramel sauce are served, three hours have passed. All in a seamless performance where everyone leaves the premises smiling happily...

Uuuugh it happened again. The first time I've had a massive breakdown in several months. Um maybe in over a year? But I'm ok with it. I needed it. And it probably won't happen again for quite awhile.
In the last month my friend has given birth to her first child and my SIL has given birth to her 2nd. I started back on Clomid and it was a failed cycle. Oh and I spent the weekend with my family while Hubster stayed home – which meant lots of questions about our family-building journey (on CD2) that I just wasn't in a good place to answer. Plus arriving home yesterday afternoon after a 7-hr drive not to the welcoming arms and hot shower I desperately needed, but to a frantic husband trying to finish tidying the house and wet dog hair all over my bathroom (including my shower).
So I completely lost it.
I am talking lost.my.shit. completely. yesterday evening.
But Hubster and I got through it and I pulled myself together enough to go to the hospital and snuggle my not-yet-24hours-old nephew. It was heaven until I got that question:
It hurt so bad, are you sure you want to go through that?
I know childbirth can be traumatic, but why do people insist on asking that question?!? If I didn't love this woman so much, I probably would have used a snippy tone while replying, "like you would give back your amazing children to never have gone through that?!?"
Instead, I simply stated that yes, I really do.
So we went home earlier than planned, I introduced my husband to Footloose and we went to sleep.
I got the tears out that have been building for months so while I'm not good, I'm better. Today I'm not going to ask "why?!?" Instead, I'm going to feel my sadness, while giving thanks for all of the blessings I do have and for God's perfect timing, do what I need to do to feel better and then snuggle both of their boys.
Tomorrow is my yoga class. I just have to make it to tomorrow evening…

This Sunday we're beginning part 2 of the MIND | SOUL | BODY 21 Day Challenge.
This will be the Daniel Fast.
While there are many types of fasting we feel the Daniel Fast is one of the best for corporate fasting simply because the most amount of people can participate. There's almost nothing better than joining with a large group of people and fasting together. It's an amazingly unifying. Maybe it's because we are experiencing God together or maybe it's that misery loves company… I'm not sure which it is. Either way, fasting together is a wonderful experience.
Here are some more practical ideas to make it successful.
1. PLAN AHEAD – You will spend more time in the kitchen as you prepare each meal, so it is best to plan your meals ahead.
2. DOUBLE IT – When you find a recipe you like, make double the recipe. This way you will have leftovers for those days when you are just not home as much or you can take it to work with you for lunch.
3. GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME TO SHOP! – You will spend more time than usual at the grocery store in the produce section, as well as searching for ingredients you may not usually purchase.
4. BUDGET MORE FOR GROCERIES THIS WEEK – Fresh foods and organic foods tend to cost a little more, but remember that you are not eating out so the money you usually spend in restaurants you are now spending in the grocery store.
5. WATER, WATER, WATER – Water is a great filler when you get a little hungry, but also, our body needs lots of water anyway that we don't usually provide it. Because you are not drinking as many other liquids, make sure to drink plenty of water. The first few days of the fast it is especially important to drink lots of water because you will most likely experience headaches. The more water you drink, the less intense and frequent your headaches should be. The first day of the fast, try to drink a gallon of water. This will help ward off headaches and aids the detoxing process.
6. MORE BATHROOM BREAKS – It's the truth! Because you are drinking lots of water, you will naturally have to use the bathroom more often. But, this is good. It means your body is riding itself of toxins!
7. TURN OFF THE TV – I'm not saying that you can't watch any TV while you are on the fast, but I would suggest limiting your TV watching. For one, at night can be your 'weakest' time, and you can only watch so many pizza commercials before you are more concerned about pepperoni and cheese than you are what God might be speaking to you. 🙂 Also, we have to leave extra time in our day while we are fasting for God to speak to us.
These are just a few tips for fasting that I hope will benefit you. For those of you who have fasted before, do you have any other great tips for fasting? If so, please leave a comment and let us know!

Green's Lick Trail
At A Glance
2.5 mi one-way
Difficulty Rating: 2.5
Steepness: Climbs Moderately
Tread Condition: Some Obstacles
Although we've been riding this for years, it was never an official trail by Forest Service standards. The old trail followed an old road bed from just below North Boundary Road to the top of Laurel Branch Road. The connector between North Boundary and the old road bed, however, was extremely steep, eroded, and unsustainable. In 2006, the Forest Service awarded a contract to build a proper re-route from North Boundary down to the gravel road, re-work the portion on the gravel road, and added the trail to the trail system. Best ridden from the top down, Green's Lick is now a fast, mostly smooth descent of almost 800 feet in 2.5 miles. Most of it is not very steep, but some parts do require your attention. The big news here though is the dozens of large, undulating dirt mounds that were added to the trail. Officially built as water turnouts, these were designed with mountain bikers specifically in mind and make either fantastic jumps or roller coaster like whoop-te-doos. Big banked turns add a little curvature to the mix and a few rocks and roots left here and there spice it up a bit. The trail is just pure fun. It may not be the technical, sit-on-your-tire bomber that it used to be, but most folks won't be disappointed.

Ten minutes into "Victor Frankenstein," there's a scene so gross, ghoulish and goofy that it demands you make a big decision: Get on board this wild ride or bail.
Daniel Radcliffe's hunchbacked Igor is at the center of this devilish and deliciously twisted action-comedy that plays as prequel/counterpoint to Mary Shelley's classic novel "Frankenstein." After being freed from his circus prison by the impulsive Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy), the next matter of business is Igor's horrid hump. With a crazed look, the not-so-good doctor tackles his trembling patient against a pillar in his decadent London flat. Then after a quick promise of pain, Victor plunges an oversize needle into that malformed mound, extracting the misidentified abscess' repulsive yellow pus as one might siphon gasoline, with the use of rubber tube, and the scientist's grinning mouth. It's a prolonged process, punctuated by sweat, grappling and shouts from the straddled Igor, and completed by Victor proclaiming, "I'm pulling out now," before spewing pus all over the place.
It's not subtle. It is, however, hilarious. And if this doesn't sound funny, then "Victor Frankenstein" isn't for you.
Written by "Chronicle's" Max Landis and directed by "Sherlock's" Paul McGuigan, "Victor Frankenstein" reimagines the origins of the terrible twosome who have long loomed large in horror fiction. Radcliffe brings his effervescent earnestness to Igor, a friendless freak who didn't even have a name before he met Victor. Pulling double-duty as a kicked clown and disrespected doctor at a seedy London circus, he meets his fated match when the girl from the flying trapeze ("Winter's Tale's" Jessica Brown Findlay) takes a terrible fall. Together the pair repairs her, sparking an intense and often toxic relationship, founded on a shared interest in anatomy.
Victor brings the poor hunchback home, cleans him, cures him, names him after his mysteriously MIA roommate, and faster than a lightning strike invites Igor to collaborate on a project to reanimate dead organs. That leads to the requisite grand finale familiar to all "Frankenstein" fans, but the journey there is the true treat, chock-full of outlandish action sequences, bromance, monstrous moments (some involving a resurrected ape called Gordon), grandiose dialogue ("You toy with wrathful forces!") and delightfully over-the-top performances from McAvoy and his onscreen nemesis, a religious detective played by Andrew Scott ("Sherlock").
Every scene between McAvoy and Radcliffe is like a shot of adrenaline. Their chemistry is blinding, and McAvoy -- who alternately offers restrained dramatic turns or totally unhinged ones -- cranks his "mad scientist" dial up to 11, then snaps the damn thing off. He delivers the kind of camp that makes cult movies so distinctively deranged yet entertaining. Radcliffe is remarkable, bringing an impressive craft to the physicality of the role that demands he be a gnarled creature one moment, and a jaunty young gentleman in the next (albeit one sometimes chased by rampaging beasts). Scott, who brought scads of dark fun to "Sherlock" as its Moriarty, brings a welcomed sense of menace to his obsessed copper. But he hits prime preposterous appeal when he employs a freshly fashioned prosthetic hand to stroke his jaw while lost in thought. Would that every performance worked on this ludicrous level!
Sadly, Findlay is given little to do but keep Igor and Victor's relationship from looking too blatantly homoerotic. She's as lovely as ever, but the only color she brings to the film comes in the form of her blood-red and emerald-green gowns. Her sexual chemistry with Radcliffe is comically overshadowed by his sexual tension with McAvoy, which makes for the films richest and most compelling moments.
For better or worse, "Victor Frankenstein" follows in the footsteps of movies like "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." In retelling a story so known to modern audiences, it amps up the camp, the craziness and the color to create something so strange it's a miracle a studio produced it at all. It's destined to be niche, appreciated only in excitable pockets. But I'm pleased any time a big-budget movie this brazenly weird gets made. It feels like a victory no matter the execution. But to that end …
The frantic pacing that makes the first hour such fun falls apart as the story becomes bloated with villains and storylines. Plot holes gape as "Victor Frankenstein" forges into its climactic monster reveal. The final wonky moments might make you wonder if the short running time (109 minutes) and jarring tonal shift could be blamed on skittish studio notes. But its lunacy-laced story of a beastly bromance is wildly entertaining enough not to be bothered by this flawed finale.
"Victor Frankenstein" opens Wednesday nationwide.

Syrian Company for Handicrafts Opens "Ubbaha" Center In Lattakia to Revive Famous Syrian Traditional Industries
"Undoubtedly, Syria is home to the oldest and most famous handicrafts that refelct Syria's civilization, cultural heritage and identity. This industry has been a vital part of the aesthetic culture that characterized Syria throughout history," Mr. Kenan Shammat, Head of Operations at the Syrian Company for Handicrafts said in a statement to the Syriatimes e-newspaper on the occasion of the recent opening of the company's "Ubbaha" ( luxurious) center for exhibiting and supporting Syrian handicrafts in Lattakia.
Shammat pointed out that the Syrian company for handicrafts was established in 2016 in Damascus as one of the institutions of the Syrian Trust for Development aiming to revive and preserve the deep-rooted Syrian handicrafts industry. The company also seeks finding new local and foreign markets for the handicrafts, transferring the industry to the coming generations, shedding light on the industry's importance and developing its tools and cooperating with Syrian craftsmen to enhance and promote their skills, he said.
"Despite the big challenges as well as the severe unjust blockade and coercive economic measures imposed on Syria, the Syrian handicrafts have managed to prove their presence as there is still a high demand for Syrian handicraft products inside Syria and abroad," Shammat added.
He highlighted the company's efforts to restore the glory of the Syrian traditional handicrafts through opening a number of handicraft workshops in different Syrian provinces and carrying out training courses for the craftsmen mainly in the field of glass, crochet, wood, Aghabani, copper and mosaic.
Talking about "Ubbaha" center, Shammat said" the Syrian company for handicrafts presents its products under the registered trademark "Ubbaha", noting the establishment of two centers in Damascus and Sweida provinces for this purpose.
He made it clear that "Ubbaha" centers exhibit Syrian handicrafts using up-to-date marketing methods. They ensure selling markets and centers locally and aborad in cooperation with concerned partners.
Opening "Ubbaha" center in Lattakia is a step to revive the Syrian handicrafts industry here, encourage craftsmen in the province, disseminate youths' awareness about the importance of Syrian handicrafts and traditional industries and attract visitors and tourists to enjoy knowing about the Syrian heritage, Shammat said.
He made it clear that "Ubbaha" center in Lattakia includes key traditional industries including Aghabani textile, copper carving , Qishani ceramics, soap, silk , handmade glass, brocade, embroidery, loom, crochet, wood carving and shells.
"Syrian craftsmen are creative, skilled and talented. The skill of the Syrian craftsmen, inherited over thousands of years, helped them innovate crafts," Shammat said, calling on all the Syrian craftsmen, who left the country because of the crisis to return and reopen their workshops as Syria is recovering.
He concluded by stressing that the unjust war on Syria has strengthened the Syrians' steadfastness and will to rebuild their lovely country.

Can new love mend her broken heart or will her past come back to take her back? That's not all. "Royal conspiracies and secrets?! Did I transmigrated into a novel?" ——————————————————————— "You can look up now." Said a very seductive voice. I jumped at the sound and looked up. Then that's what struck me. I was faced with a face carved by God himself, it was the kind of face that even the most handsome actor would die to have. Symmetrical, sharp jawlines, alluring eyes and even with his dark suit on I could see his toned body. He was a model straight out of a magazine. The way he was sitting behind his large desk made him look 100 times more irresistible and sexy. He was definitely way more good-looking in real life. His photo in magazines did not do him justice. His elegance was radiating all the way towards me, his quiff styled hairstyle made him look even more gorgeous and his perfect lips made me wonder what it would feel like to be kissed by it. I imagined this is what guys from romance novel would look like. Suddenly I was imagining what his body would look like under all those clothes and how his toned body will feel. I smacked myself inwardly before my thoughts got even dirtier. I really should read fewer romance novels, they were definitely corrupting my mind. "Ahmn.." I cleared my voice before greeting him "Good Afternoon your Highness. Prince Elijah. I'm Hayley" "Come sit," he said with his deep husky voice. "ah, yes.." I replied as I hurriedly walked towards the chair across him, almost tripping on thin air. I cursed and lectured myself to act more professional in my head but it was close to impossible as I could feel his hot gaze on me. "You seem a bit sick, miss Hayley Sertori," he said with a wide smile. I immediately touched my face, it was....... ———————————————————————— Hello everyone I'm Bandana & this is my first story.

Thanksgiving break was refreshing and much needed. I was so pumped the moment I walked out of work and into the elevator....AHHHHHHHHH!
Went to pick up my sis and we spent the night at my oldest sister's place. We got to meet her pup!
This is Hunter, my oldest sister's baby. He's so hyper and loving. Hyper mainly but still loving. (I was exhausted and he still wanted to play.)
These earrings were sported by my sister for Thanksgiving..so pretty!!
The sunset was really pretty during break. The sky is always prettier back home than where I go to school. It's probably because I never have the time to see the sunset during school.
My sis sporting green on green with stripes.
Got to see a little bit of tv and the show Arthur looks so different now... :(
Movie with the sibs :)
Stylin the parking lot with my lil brother.
Breaks over now :( Time to prepare for tomorrow... whew.
Posting up some pictures from my little photoshoot tomorrow! Hope you guys like them when they're up.

Share price based coins on Bitshares
A new user, nasdaq-wallet has issued assets on the Bitshares blockchain that maintain their price based on the price of stocks of big and famous companies, such as Amazon, Facebook, Ali Baba, Apple, Microsoft and Tesla. Tokens like AMAZONCOM, FACEBOOKCOM etc have been created.
Anyone can create tokens and bind them to a price feed, on the Bitshares blockchain. The user nasdaq-wallet announced their intention to do this on the BitsharesTalk.org website.
Trade in the smart asset AMAZONCOM
1 AMAZONCOM – AMAZON.COM, INC by NASDAQ (AMZN) AMAZONCOM is a derivative for the AMAZON.COM, INC share. Feeds are assigned from the Nasdaq exchange.
Feeds on the BTS are published from the Poloniex.com exchange.
BTS quotes from the Bitshares exchange will soon be added, to obtain an average market quotation for all exchanges
This is a wonderful usecase of the Bitshares blockchain, and is a great opportunity for those investors who want to invest some amount in the relatively more stable price of traditional companies especially if they reside outside of the US. It is also a great trading opportunity without having to pay huge commission fees per transaction when trading the stock. The user has set market fee to 0.2% at the moment. Not just that, you have the ability to buy a fraction of a stock which you cannot do when buying stocks in the market.
However, a word of caution. At the moment the price feeds are only being provided by that one user. Once more witnesses start providing the price feeds, these assets might become safer to buy.
Before you invest any amount on money in this, make sure there are at least a few price feeds listed on the asset's page. You can use CryptoFresh to check this. For example you can check the feeds for AMAZONCOM

Helly Powell is a Welsh textile artist Born and Raised in Abergavenny She now works from an old Dairy Farm in The Black Mountains. A member of "The Makers Guild of Wales", she has combined her love for the landscape and it's wildlife with a lifelong interest in textiles to develop her art Fauxidermy, (a play on words faux, French for false and taxidermy).
Best known for her "Parc Lodge" collection she creates sculptural pieces which have caught the imagination of many.
I am enjoying volunteering with AberArtsFest and feel passionate about the Arts being accessible to everyone. The work we are doing for Abergavenny Arts Festival will hopefully give a platform to Local Kids & Teens that don't have the opportunity to participate in the Arts.

According to the Construction Labor Research Council (CLRC), wage and fringe settlements reported so far this year have resulted in an average first-year increase of 2.2 percent ($1.10) up from 2.2 percent ($1.00) in 2013.
The average second-year increase is 2.5 percent ($1.23) compared to 2.6 percent ($1.30) a year ago. The average third-year increase is 2.5 percent ($1.28), which is .1 percent lower than the 2.6 percent ($1.34) reported last year. Three-year collective bargaining agreements continue to be the norm. To date, 42 percent of settlements have been for one year.
To date, the average first-year 2014 sheet metal increase has been 1.9 percent ($1.13). The average second-year sheet metal increase has been 2.1 percent ($1.29) and the average third-year sheet metal increase 2.23 percent ($1.50). The most common sheet metal contract term this year is three years, however; there have been one rollover, three 1-year agreements, five 2-year agreements, two 4-year agreements, and one 5-year agreement.

Thoughts on Germany-Costa Rica
Paulo Wanchope scored twice and was just offsides a few other times where he easily got behind the German defense. I had made the mistake in the Group A preview of a few weeks back of saying that Wanchope had lost some speed and his best days were behind him. Clearly based on today's performance I was wrong and Costa Rica despite dropping the opener has a decent shot of advancing through the group stage. Douglas Sequeira who plays in MLS for Real Salt Lake had a good game for Costa Rica as he took Lukas Podolski, the Germany wonderkid out of the match almost entirely. Jose Porras made two goalkeeping errors for Costa Rica one of which resulted in a devastating second half goal by Klose, which ultimately changed the game. The World Cup as we all know can turn on a dime or one minor goalkeeping error.
Both teams played well, and Costa Rica certainly has enough offensive firepower to feel good about their chances in the final two games. Germany is obviously one of the world's elite teams and they showed it again today.

Yes, tough results for the Ticos. Germany controlled possesion and dominated the game flow, but the counter attacks by the Ticos were excellent and all right on the mark. Good Football on both sides, and I liked Klinsmann's move to bring Neuville on latye to add some veteran leadership at the front.

If Germany plays defense like they did today if England plays them, then Rooney and Crouch will both have hat tricks. Germany clearly doesn't have the cohesion or disipline at the back to be a real factor down the roads.

Ecuador looks really good. They'll scorte a bundle against Germany also.

Germany looked solid. Wanchope may have been offsides on C.R. 2nd goal.

Good performance from Ecuador. Poland once again in this world cup looks like road kill. Didn't our esteemed author pick them to advance to the 2nd round?

Right on anonymous, I did not realize Poland would come out totally flat for the second straight finals. I did think about Ecuador more than most sicne I actually said in my preview I thought they had a shot to surprise. Most "experts" had dismissed them as one of the weakest sides in the cup because of a lack of european experience. Ecuador's victory is a good sign for the USA and Mexico that they can be very successful on the European continent without European based players. I'm not sure if ECU has any european based players, but they really took it to the Poles, dominating until the last 8 minutes or so.

The attacking style of Ecuador is a bit a typical for a South American side. They push the ball down the flanks and seem to be at least decent in the air inspite of a height disadvantage.
Can they beat Germany? Doubtful, but they certainly will get some chances to finish with Germany's back line difficulties.

Just wait until this afternoon when we really launch this world cup. I am so confident with Rooney now back that I have placed 1,000 big ones on us winning the cup. Only Brazil can come close to us, but they are aging and weak at the back, and Rooney, Crouch, Owen and Garrard will have a field day on them.

I was impressed with Ecuador. They can give Germany a strong game. Don't be shocked if they beat them!

Actually, I have a different view on the Germany v. Costa Rica match. Most people on here are saying that both sides played well.
While it was a good game (I won't take that away from the teams), I think the goals that both teams needed to accomplish at the end of this match were not met.
Yes, Germany beat Costa Rica. Yes, it was 4-2. But two things I have to point out. One, Germany should have had more than 4 goals against the Ticos. Second, Germany shouldn't have let the Ticos score two goals. I think that Germany really needed a clean sheet or a one goal game, while they would have to score five or more themselves. They fell short of this goal. They didn't make a statement, like they did in 2002 with their 8-0 win over the Saudis.
I think that Costa Rica almost accomplished what they needed to, but they allowed one goal too many. If the game would have been 3-2 or 2-1, then they might have been in a better position.
I don't see Costa Rica winning another game. As far as Germany, they will advance, but can't play like they did today against a top tier team, or they will be killed.

I agree that Costa Rica is a lower tier team in this World Cup and the mere fact that they were able to get several breakaway opportunities and score twice is a very bad sign for Germany going forward. Poland played poorly today but will be fired up with their backs against the wall against the arch rivals. While Germany is at home, they have less of a home field advantage over Poland than they do over Costa Rica.
Ecuador moved the ball well and held possession today. That a recipie for a draw or maybe even a victory against a German team that is so weak at the back.
I like Paraguay's chances to draw or even upset England tomorrow. Unlike past years, Paraguay has a number of attacking options and England's outside backs seem to be shaky at best.
Cannot wait for Mexico and the USA to begin their cups in the next few days!

Germany has issues they need to resolve. It's strange because in the past Germany has been so tough at the back and strong and physical too. This go round they play more like a Latin or Italian team with attacking flair but little defense. This having been said, they have a real aresnal of top players at their disposal.

I have a great group of friends who I love and respect but recently a couple of them have said some pretty transphobic things and I don't know what I should do.
I consider myself an ally to all minority groups, especially being gay and black myself, but I find it really awkward challenging my friends on their language about trans people, especially as I don't think they really mean any harm. Should I just let it go or should I say something?
WAYNE: It's never easy to confront our friends about things that annoy, bother or offend us, especially when they might not be aware of the harm they're doing. However, it's important to challenge offensive language and behaviour when we hear or witness it, even more so when it's within our social circles.

I'm in the Petties...
I am so excited. I can hardly believe my good fortune. I'm a finalist for the Funniest Blog or Blogger in the Petties. Can you believe it? MOUSES!
As you can imagine, I was pretty excited when I found out about this. I was practically over the moon. I was lyin' on the couch in the family room when Peep #1 came in to tell me.
Picture it... Nova Scotia, Canada... My house. "Nissy," the peep said. "Guess what. You're a finalist for Funniest Blog or Blogger in the Petties."
Well I sat right up right there and then and exclaimed, "I am? MOUSES!"
Seville was lyin' on the floor and started laughing. He was laughing so hard, he rolled over on his back and his belly started shakin' like a bowl full of jelly. Of course, Seville has no jelly in his belly. He's a cat. Cats don't eat jelly.
"They think you're funny!" my brother sputtered between fits of giggles. "That's hilarious!"
"Uh... yeah. That's the whole point, Sivvers." I looked up questioningly at the peep. "That is the whole point, isn't it?" I looked back at my brother and narrowed my eyes. "Just what are you talkin' about there, marmie?"
Then it hit me. What if I'm a finalist for bein' funny? What if it's not for bein' funny as in ha-ha but rather, funny as in... off? MOUSES!
That very morning, when the power came back on after bein' off for three and a half days 'cause of nasty ol' Hurricane Arthur, the peep had checked on the milk in the fridge and she had said, "Ewww... This milk smells funny." Funny... FUNNY. MOUSES!
My jaw dropped and my whiskers drooped. My tail gave a little tremble. I, Nerissa the Cat, did NOT want to be a carton of sour milk.
That's when the peep scooped me up in her arms and gave me a little congratulatory snuggle. "You're a finalist because your blog makes people laugh," she explained. I glared down at Seville but he didn't notice on account of his fits of the giggles. Apparently I had made him laugh, all right. Once more I say, MOUSES!
But what does it all mean?
Well for starters, it means that I owe each and every one of you out there who nominated me, a big ol' THANK YOU! I am honoured. I'm at a loss for words. I'm speechless. Well... maybe not quite speechless. I do - as you know - have a tendency to ramble on just a tad. Just a teeny-tiny tad.
Anywho... I LOVE YOU ALL! How's that for bein' short and sweet, huh? Short, sweet and oh-so-very true.
But now comes the hard part, I'm afraid. Now the VOTING begins.
If you would like to see Nerissa's Life WIN the Pettie for Funniest Blog or Blogger, you can vote for me once a day, every day, from now until August 7th. It's a Thursday. I checked. Not sure it matters but I checked anyway.
To vote, all you need do is go to the Petties website by clicking here... THE PETTIES; or over on the badge I've put up in my sidebar. Once there, click on "finalist voting" in the upper bar, on the right-hand side. You'll be directed to sign in with e-mail or Facebook and then a ballot will pop up. You'll find Nerissa's Life in the Funniest Blog or Blogger category. Just click on the little circle to the left of Nerissa's Life to vote and then click on "submit ballot" at the bottom and viola! Your vote will be cast.
You can also vote in all the other categories, if you so desire. If voting in more than one category, be sure to do all categories before hitting "submit ballot" 'cause you only get the one ballot each day.
Winning this award would mean so much to me. Winnin' an award like this would mean that cats and peeps out there enjoy readin' my blog. It would mean that twice a week, every week, my blog posts bring a little joy into the lives of my readers... my pals... all of you. And it's you for whom I blog in the first place. Without all of you, what would be the point? I might as well just be keepin' a diary or somethin'. You know? Of course you know.
But do you know what else? IT GETS BETTER.
The winners in each category get to choose the shelter or rescue of their choice to receive a donation of one thousand dollars. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Can you believe it?
That means, IF NERISSA'S LIFE WINS, the peeps at the Petties will donate one thousand dollars to the Homeless Animal Lifeline in Manalapan, New Jersey 'cause that's the rescue group I've chosen.
The Homeless Animal Lifeline, also known as HAL, is an all-volunteer NJ 501c3 nonprofit charity. They work closely with shelters and rescues, helpin' to save as many lives as possible through foster programs and the like. And they go that extra mile to help save the lives of kitties that are hard to place. Special needs kitties. Kitties that might need some extra medical attention which is expensive.
HAL is super small but they do so much good, often workin' with very little. Receiving this money would mean the world to them. I just know it would. PLEASE HELP ME WIN THIS FOR HAL.
Remember... you can VOTE once a day, EVERY DAY, from now until the competition closes and let me tell you, I need every vote I can get. MOUSES!
Come sing with me! I'm in the Petties... I'm in the Petties... I'm in the Petties, this year.

Will you really accelerate progress with your gender agenda by changing the name of your women's network?
31 March, 2017
Fleur Bothwick
It seems extraordinary to me that it's quite recently that I am hearing D&I conversations about the need to engage men as gender champions in our push for gender equality. Almost as though to date we have only worked with women on this agenda and that now this could be the silver bullet for success. That said, I admit that far too often I have attended events on this topic that feel like we are just preaching to the converted. I remember some years back when the founder of the 30% Club, Helena Morrissey raised this as an issue at the launch of the first Womens Business Council report at the Stock Exchange. The great success of the 30% club is largely due to the fact that Helena's key objective was to engage with CEOs and CFOs – many who are male.
One trend that seems to be developing, certainly in the UK, is that women's networks have started to change their brand/name to attract more male members. I was told recently that over 50% of networks have followed this route with more discussing their options. I'm not though convinced that this is the way forward or that there will be sufficient return on investment (ROI) for such an approach. Of course, it depends on the objectives of your network, but in designing a programme to appeal to both men and women you could be losing the benefits which the network was originally set up for – e.g. giving your female talent a forum to network across the business with other women, providing female role models and supporting women with their personal development.
I totally agree that men are an important part of the conversation, in fact, our Global Chairman of EY, Mark Weinberger, shared five lessons of our gender gap journey at the end of last year and lesson four was all about the focus on men – 'a recognition that closing the gender gap doesn't mean focusing exclusively on women and that when we broaden the conversation to include both women and men, it improves opportunities for everyone'. There is also good McKinsey research that shows that men are not against gender equality. It's just that many really don't understand what the challenges to equity are.
My top three ways to make sure that men are fully engaged would be to:
- Get them sponsoring (and I mean sponsoring, not mentoring) high potential females;
- Encourage men to take their full paternity and parental leave
- Facilitate dialogue between men and women.
For example, one of my Regional Managing Partners has announced that he would like to meet any of our high potential women who are leaving us to better understand their experience at EY and their motivation for going.
In 2014, to mark International Womens Day, EY published our male leaders ten top tips for progressing the gender agenda, they were:
- Engage at all levels of your talent pipeline — support informal mentoring, reverse mentoring and formal sponsorship.
- Set targets — know what you are trying to achieve.
- Establish accountability for progress.
- When recruiting, insist that all short lists are gender diverse and, if they are not, ask why?
- Promote flexible working on a non-gender basis and set the tone from the top.
- Be bold — provide stretch assignments, question the "rules," challenge mind-set and counter assumptions.
- Be innovative with flexible non-traditional career paths.
- Make sure that there are opportunities for our people to re-enter the workforce at all levels.
- Make sure that D&I doesn't slip off the agenda when you are pushing for growth and high performance.
- Engage with your clients on this topic to share what you are doing
What would your top ten tips be?

Alpha & Matrix Sell Pair In Suburban Chicago
When Digity acquired NextMedia, a pair of suburban Chicago stations were transferred from a divestiture trust to Matrix Broadcasting in 2014 for $5,527,500 to stay under the ownership caps. Following Alpha Media's acquisition of Digity in 2015, Alpha took over the Shared Services Agreement between for those stations.
Matrix Broadcasting would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in March 2018 with owner Peter Handy claiming both assets and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. To resolve the bankruptcy Matrix and Alpha Media have agreed to a series of deals to settle their claims.
Alpha Media will acquire both Classic Rock "103.9 The Fox" WFXF Dundee and AC "Star 105.5" WZSR Woodstock for $4,669,011.
To remain under the ownership caps, WFXF will be spun-off to Educational Media Foundation for $900,000. WFXF will join a growing EMF operation that includes "K-Love" on 97.9 WCKL Chicago, 89.1 WOKL Round Lake Beach and 92.5 WCLR Dekalb plus "Air 1" on WJKL Glendale Heights and 88.1 WAIW Wheaton as well as a number of smaller signals in the region.
Alpha Media will retain WZSR and instead divest Classic Rock "Q-Rock 100.7" WRXQ Coal City/Joliet to Steven Seline's Walnut Radio Illinois for $300,000. Walnut Radio does not own any other properties in Illinois but owns six stations in and around Omaha NE. Walnut Radio will enter into a Shared Services Agreement with Alpha.
WFXF and WZSR serve the northwestern suburbs of Chicago while WRXQ covers the southwestern edge of the market around Joliet. WFXF is currently home to longtime Chicago morning host Eddie Volkman (previously of WBBM-FM and WJMK).

Vision Spring
VisionSpring's early work involved training local people, or vision entrepreneurs, to conduct outreach and sell quality, low cost eyeglasses in their communities. Despite the clear need for basic eye care in these communities, the vision entrepreneur model soon proved unsustainable in isolation, with limited potential for scale. VisionSpring recognized that in order to maximize access to this underappreciated tool for socio-economic development, we needed to create businesses that would
eventually scale with a blend of commercial, impact, and philanthropic investment. Accordingly, VisionSpring refined our interventions to incorporate the successful elements of the vision entrepreneur based model into a hub and spoke approach where VisionSpring optical shops operate as hubs and vision entrepreneurs act like spokes conducting outreach in the communities surrounding the optical shops.

SPORTS / Those Strong-arm Tactics / City association attracts wrist wrestlers
with tourneys
PUBLICATION: Newsday
BY: Francis Walker. Francis Walker is a freelance writer.
SECTION: QueensLife
THE NEW YORK Arm Wrestling Association has been in existence since 1977, and conducted its first event in the now defunct Sunnyside Gardens Arena on Queens Boulevard.
Since then, the organization has hosted 12 to 20 events each year and continues to open its doors to anyone who wants to take part.
"Arm wrestling is for everyone," said Gene Camp, the organization's founder and president. For the first six months of its existence, the group was called the Eastern States Wrist Wrestling Federation, but changed its name to have a closer association with the city and state.
Each year the association hosts tournaments throughout the five boroughs, Long Island and upstate New York. Local sites include the Rockaways and Elmhurst.
The most recent event was held May 26 at the Intrepid Sea-Air- Space Museum in Manhattan, where hundreds of members of the Navy, Army and Marines competed. The competition, which is strictly for members of the military, drew 500 spectators and 87 entrants from 14 ships.
Marines from the USS JFK won the event. The USS JFK's Navy entrants were second.
For each tournament, the association attracts more than 100 competitors in various weight classes. Bantam is 132 pounds or less; featherweight is 133-150; lightweight is 151-175; middleweight is 176- 205; and super heavyweight is 205-plus.
"There are also two left-handed divisions. The first is open to individuals under [175] pounds, while the other is open to lefties on a weigh-in basis," Camp said.
As for women, the New York Arm Wrestling Association offers 120- and-less, 135-and less and 136-plus open weight classes.
In addition to a 50-and-older class for men, there is a seniors class for men older than 60.
"Anyone can compete, regardless of age, race or sex. That is the beauty of the sport," Camp said.
The rules for competing include:
Participants must keep their active elbow on the playing pad at all times.
Combatants are allowed to have one leg wrapped around a table leg for leverage, but at least one foot must be planted firmly on the ground.
"No part of a participant's head or shoulder can be used for leverage," Camp said. "Your wrist must be firm and straight. Your free hand, depending whether you are left-handed or right-handed, must grip the peg -a bar attached to the table."
Should someone's elbow slip off the pad while in a winning position, the referee can call a foul. "Two fouls can result in a loss of match," Camp said.
If a participant's elbow slips off the mat while in a losing position, he loses.
One reason someone can easily lose control of an arm during a match is because the tendon of a participant's arm can be either cold or weak.
"It's dangerous to compete with a cold arm," said Camp, who stressed the need for warming up before competition. "The key to arm wrestling is tendon strength. [However], before you arm-wrestle, you must exercise and do warm-ups. Before track stars run in a race, they warm up. They have to get the blood flowing."
"Pulling on [an elastic band] is one of the best exercises for arm wrestlers," Camp added. As you pull on the band, the muscles in the tendon break down and rebuild.
The next event for the organization is the Queensboro Golden Arm Championship at the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk in Queens at 116th Street on July 15. All events start with an 11 a.m. weigh-in, followed by a 2 p.m. start.
Other events scheduled include:
Aug. 4: Brooklyn Borough Championship in Coney Island on the Boardwalk at 12th Street.
Aug. 19: Long Island Pro and Amateur Arm Wrestling Championship in Shirley at the airport.
Sept. 16: Manhattan Golden Arm Championship at the Columbus Avenue Festival, 86th Street and Columbus Avenue, Manhattan.
Oct. 11: Manhattan's Empire State Golden Arm Tournament of Champions final at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Eighth Avenue and 42nd Street.
Annual membership in the New York Arm Wrestling Association is $25. For more information, including details and directions for the events scheduled, call 718-544-4592 or visit the Web site at www.nycarms
