This has nothing to do with Detroit rapper Big Sean.
Instead, it's an indictment of the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons announced on Wednesday that Big Sean was named the team's creative director of innovation.
Some reacted as if the Pistons had done something special like having signed a big free agent that would turn their franchise around.
It signaled how far the Pistons have fallen.
It tells you basketball isn't the priority in Motown anymore.
This move reeks of what you do when you're trying to distract the fans and media from the product on the court.
It's a public relations stunt, an attempt to win the press conference.
Supposedly, as the story reads, it's a dream come true for Big Sean, a lifelong Pistons fan.
Normally, that dream would have been to actually play for your hometown team and help them win a championship.
Yeah, for about two seconds, you think it's a neat story. You get national exposure for having your team linked with a hip artist all the kids love. You get some street cred, some juice in the Hip-Hop culture.
But when you really sit back and think about it, it reveals how low the Pistons have sunk.
Detroit isn't some expansion franchise in a Mickey Mouse town looking to attract a fanbase by throwing confetti and t-shirts into the crowd. Or give away as much cotton candy that is humanly possible, anything to make the fans forget their team is lousy.
This is a proud franchise that didn't just participate in an NBA schedule. This organization won championships, and made a city — that most people around the country ridiculed and dogged every chance it got — proud.
All sports fans know the Detroit Bad Boys and the back-to-back championship they won in 1989 and 1990.
The players were great, with stars everyone knew, including Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, and Dennis Rodman. Their coach Chuck Daly was a stud, too.
In 2004, NBA America fell in love with the new Pistons. This wasn't the rough and tough Pistons that pushed the league around and were the villains.
Nope. The team assembled by Dumars, a former Bad Boy, captured the true meaning of team, as a collection of hardworking misfits and castoffs beat the loaded Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
Those Pistons had NO stars. The Lakers had four future Hall of Famers in their starting lineup — Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, and Gary Payton.
Detroit was about going to work on the court and winning. It connected with the city and its fans.
And during that run, with Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince, the Pistons sold out 259 straight games. The Palace of Auburn Hills was the place to be for five straight years.
The Pistons made it to six straight Eastern Conference Finals, starting in 2003. That run included back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals in 2004 and 2005.
Yes, the Pistons were that good.
But not anymore. Since the 2009-10 season, the team has been to the playoffs just twice and were swept in four games each time.
They have a few former big-name players, in Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose.
And just like last season, the forecast this year isn't calling for a trip to the postseason.
Hence, of late, the Pistons — who lost their season opener Wednesday night to Minnesota — have been grabbing headlines off the court by getting their name in the paper. In April, the Pistons extended a tryout invite to Hip-Hop artist J. Cole. Sure, Cole tried out at St. John's University in NYC. But he wasn't an NBA prospect.
The Pistons were just looking for buzz since they were one of eight teams not in the NBA Bubble vying for a playoff spot.
Enter LiAngelo Ball.
Recently, the Pistons invited the middle brother in the Ball family trio to training camp on a non-guaranteed contract. Again, this Ball was never considered a pro prospect. The Pistons trended on Twitter for the move. And then they got blasted by his dad, LaVar Ball, after LiAngelo was cut.
For sure, Big Sean is talented. But that's not the talent the Pistons need.
The Raptors didn't win an NBA title because rapper Drake was made a featured star at their games. They won the title when they swung a trade for superstar Kawhi Leonard.
The Pistons need players, not a playa.

Manchester United have won their 20th league title and 13th Premier League trophy with four games to spare after defeating Aston Villa 3-0 on Monday night.
Courtesy of a first-half hat trick from Robin van Persie, the Red Devils were able to post their 27th win of the domestic season and win back the Premier League trophy from rivals Manchester City, whose loss to Tottenham Hotspur earlier on the weekend had allowed United to clinch the league this weekend at Old Trafford.
The win takes United even closer to breaking Chelsea's record in 2005 and 2006 of 29 league wins in a single season, with the Red Devils currently on 27 wins. They also still have a chance to break the Blues' mark of 95 points in a single season.
United were ahead within minutes against a weak Aston Villa side. Wayne Rooney, deployed in midfield pinged a wonderful ball out to a resurgent Antonio Valencia. He found Rafael who swung it in high for Giggs to lay it across to an unmarked RVP who applied the easiest of finishes.
The second was all but easy. Rooney, who started like a house on fire found another wonderful pass. He played it to the left off the furthest CB cross field. It dropped over RVP who had made a lovely run. The left foot swung with perfect technique and found the bottom right corner. Perhaps the goal of the season. Incredible!
And he finished the scoring with a hat trick in the first half. Ryan Giggs was put through by the impressive Shinji Kagawa. The Welshman was one on one but found Robin Van Persie who had to make space before firing into the roof of the net.
Sir Alex Ferguson attributed United's 20th league title to the steely focus within his squad.
Having missed out on the title in such dramatic circumstances last term, the Reds bounced back in record-breaking fashion and mercilessly marched to glory this time around – demonstrating the character of champions for all to see.
"The players' focus was fantastic this season," Sir Alex said. "They didn't get themselves annoyed by what happened last season. A lot of teams – most teams in the country – would have melted. But not this bunch.
"They went on and did what Manchester United expects of them and raised the bar. You could go on and on and on about losing a title, and we've had to do that in my time. I think our consistency for the last 20 years has been unbelievable. It's been a marvellous performance. We've got 84 points with four games left – fantastic.
"The one thing I said to them at the start of the season was: 'Make sure you do not lose on goal difference again'. Last season was the first time we've ever lost on goal difference. We've always had a superior goal difference to all our opponents. That was the point where I realised that was the challenge: our goal difference must be better than theirs across the road."
Detractors continue to insist that the manager's latest batch of champions does not stand comparison with its illustrious forebears, but Sir Alex gives short shrift to such a notion and insists that his squad has a bright future ahead of them.
"I think it's dead easy to say that," he shrugged. "Nostalgia plays tricks on people's minds, without doubt. You do it yourself. How many times have you said: 'Ah, when I was a boy, things weren't the same'?
"Put it in context: we've now got 84 points with four games left and we've never done that. We've won most of our games, drawn three, lost four and the goal [van Persie's second] tonight… it doesn't matter where you place that in terms of all the great goals we've scored, from David Beckham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Eric Cantona…
"That pedestal is there, the players have joined that pedestal. We've got some young, exciting players – you've seen how De Gea's improved over the season into an outstanding goalkeeper, young Rafa, you saw Jones tonight… arguably the way he's looking, he could be our best ever player."
The headlines, however, belonged to a more established United star. Having scored the goals that propelled the Reds' early charge for the title, as well as the brilliant hat-trick which sealed it, Robin van Persie inevitably drew plaudits from his manager.
"Robin's been unbelievable," said Sir Alex. "He had that dry spell where he hadn't scored for a few weeks but the penalty kick at Stoke brought it back. He was unbelievable tonight, unbelievable. Fantastic.
"He has to take a lot of the credit – his goals tell you that and his performance levels tell you that. I'm sure Robin would be saying what a great bunch of players I've got with me – they're a great bunch of players."
Robin Van Persie's Reaction on winning his first Premier League title:
"I had to wait so long for my first title. It is a great feeling," he said.
"This is a fantastic team and fantastic players. It is a championship for every single one of them. The staff, the managers, the physios.
"This is our 20th title, it is deserved."
Patrice Evra post-match reaction:
"It is unbelievable," said Evra.
"It was really important to get back that trophy because I remember last year when we lost and people said Manchester City would take control.
"I said then that when Manchester United got back their consistency they would finish 10 points clear, I was wrong because now it is 16."
Ryan Giggs:
The 39-year-old has now won his 13th title with the club, and he said: "Everyone is special because you work hard in the season and especially after the disappointment of last year.
"Nights like this one drive us. You want to feel like you do now, you want to see Old Trafford bouncing and that is what spurs me on.
"I am lucky enough to have played under the greatest manager that has ever lived and he drives everyone on. I just want to go on as long as I am enjoying it."
Wayne Rooney:
"We won this game in the first half and it is a fantastic night for us.
"When you lose the title, it is hard to take. It wasn't a nice feeling last time. We have all dug in deep and done fantastic to put ourselves in this position.
"You can never take anything for granted in football and thankfully it is now done. The manager has great desire and a winning mentality. We all buy into that and want to do well for the club.
"It has been a great season for me. We have won the league title, that is what you play for."
Michael Carrick:
"The league wasn't won [on Monday night], it was won all season with all the work we have put in."

Dive Brief:
- An algorithm is only as good as its training, and Google is turning to the public to help train its machine learning systems in image recognition, reports Wired. The technology company's Crowdsource site and application lets internet users verify image contents and upload photos of their own.
- Researchers hope that opening up training data from outside the U.S. and Europe will improve the algorithms, which can be limited to images depicting western culture and affluence, according to Anurag Batra, a Google researcher. A Bangalore-based team encourages use of the app around Asia, and Latin America is likely the next continent in line as the company looks to expand the crowdsourcing effort worldwide.
- Improving algorithm literacy for regions outside the U.S. is critical for Google as it builds out its global footprint in newer markets. It is not the company's first use of crowd-sourced data, however: Google also collects images and data from users through Google Maps and CAPTCHA.
Dive Insight:
Efforts to reduce bias in AI algorithms extend far beyond race and gender to culture, language and geography. An algorithm developed (even with the best of intentions) cannot always be transposed to a new place or context while maintaining effectiveness.
As companies integrate speech and image recognition into more technologies, from consumer handheld devices and voice assistants in offices to autonomous vehicles, a thorough and accurate data set is critical. Google is not the only technology company working on the issue either.
In December, IBM rolled out a collection of one-million video clips for non-commercial and educational use in AI training. The data set used three-second clips to reduce complexity, identifying a basic action like a yawn or hug which algorithms could then build off of when identifying more complex actions, such as changing a car tire.
Big companies with advanced AI units have a natural advantage in AI and ML given the troves of information they have on hand for algorithm training plus a global user base to tap into. Google, already a dominant global player in AI, is well positioned for future development with such programs.

|There should be an underlayment on top of the OSB. Most metal roofing materials will not require stripping on top of that. Check with the manufacturer of the product you're installing. Also, I am a strong proponent of good attic ventilation.

Former President Donald Trump has been in talks with obscure app vendors about potential partnerships to create his "own" social network, Axios reports.
Trump and adviser Dan Scavino are focusing on the obscure app platform FreeSpace, according to the report, though they have had discussions with several "no-name" companies.
FreeSpace, which has only been downloaded about 20,000 times, is a social network that says it focuses on the "power of positivity."
"FreeSpace's Culture is rooted in VRS (Value Reward Systems). Incentivizing, highlighting and rewarding good habits and healthy online interactions," the company's website says, billing the platform as "backed by science to positively reinforce good habits & make the world a better place."
The site also talks about "FINDING COMMON VALUES and highlighting them, so people become 'addicted' to doing good. FreeSpace encourages the public to share the daily actions & content they believe will add value to their lives and model healthy habits for others to duplicate."
The app features an "Activity Wall" similar to user feeds on other social platforms and group messaging.
Why FreeSpace?
It's unclear what drew Trump to the app. The app is owned by Jon Willis, who also owns Skylab Apps, a platform that pairs users with coaches and trainers.
FreeSpace often runs ads by Willis' other companies -- marketing agency Matchstick Media and Arizona sports facility Legacy Sports USA -- on its platform along with ads for other products like "frozen yogurt, IV therapies and diesel exhaust fluid."
FreeSpace was launched on the Apple and Google Apps stores in February.
Deal not done:
The deal is not finalized and the Trump team is still in discussions with other companies.
"It could be any of several companies, with more meetings this week," a source told Axios.
"It's unclear how this business relationship would work. Trump is famously averse to putting his own money into companies, preferring to license his name and use other people's money to fund his ventures," Axios noted.
Trump adviser Jason Miller teased Trump's own social network in an interview with Fox News earlier this week.
"I do think that we're going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here, with his own platform," he said on Sunday.

I'm writing this blog post because people still come to me asking what foods they should eat to lose weight. Let me tell you… This is the wrong approach to weight loss. Shocking, right?
The truth is you can in fact eat whatever you want and still lose weight. This includes all the naughtiest foods and drinks you can imagine.
The problem with 'naughty foods' is that they tend to be rammed with calories… and they don't make you satisfied
Scientific experiments have shown that a 50-50 ratio in fat and sugar is the worst, as it switches off your brain's ability to say you've had enough. AND when given the option, people tend to go for these options. A great example of a 50-50 fat-sugar ratio would be a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut… Yummy, right?
Again, there's no problem with you having one every now and again, even regularly. Because as long as you take it into account to your caloric intake you'll be fine. You will not gain weight unless you overeat.
My tip would be to never have 'naughties' unless you're already hungry, and so then you treat it as a meal. It's not a healthy meal, no, but make sure to get your veg in and you'll be fine. We're after the happiest possible way to live whilst controlling your weight, and if a Krispy Kreme makes you happy then go for it. Just keep the balance and have veg on your next meal.
So track your calories on MyFitnessPal (calculate your needs on here) and make sure to stay under your daily needs if you're wanting to lose weight. Simple.

COBRA stands for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. 1985; which is a Federal Law that requires employers to offer a health insurance for employees after leaving employment.
This cover could involve others based on the following reasons such as divorce, separation, dependent status and death. This act is only available for organizations with more than 20 employees and private sector businesses and not. It does not apply to plans which are offered by the federal government.
How long can an employee stay on COBRA Coverage?
In most cases, an individual can stay under the COBRA coverage for up to 18 months, as long as they pay their premiums. Individuals could qualify 11 months more if they are disabled when they become eligible or if they become disabled within the first 60 days of becoming eligible for COBRA. Individuals may be eligible for up to 36 months if they become eligible for Medicare within 18 months of their event.
Advantages of COBRA
One of the main advantages is that spouses, former spouses, and dependent children can still opt-in to the former employer's health plan. Employees still receive a notice telling them to sign up even if they don't.

New Law in Florida
On March 26, 2016, Governor Scott signed into effect the Collaborative Law Process Act which applies to divorce, custody, and all other Florida family law matters. The components of the Act can be found in Florida Statutes §§ 61.55 through 61.58 and took effect on July 1, 2017 after the Florida Supreme Court enacted certain necessary procedural rules. But exactly what is Collaborative Law? The Act defines the Collaborative Law Process as "a process intended to resolve a collaborative matter without intervention by a tribunal and in which persons sign a collaborative law participation agreement and are represented by collaborative attorneys."
In addition, it provides that "the collaborative law process begins, regardless of whether a legal proceeding is pending, when the parties enter into a collaborative law participation agreement. Further, the Act codifies that communications made by the parties and their attorneys during the Collaborative Law process are confidential (with some minor exceptions) and more importantly it creates a privilege in that "A party may refuse to disclose, and may prevent another person from disclosing, a collaborative law communication."
Benefits of Collaborative Law
Essentially, the Act creates uniformity throughout Florida for those attorneys who practice Collaborative Law. Collaborative Law by design is a non-adversarial form of dispute resolution where the Husband and Wife in a divorce or the parents in a paternity matter spend all of their energy and other resources on working towards reaching an amicable agreement instead of fighting it out before a Florida Family Law Judge. Collaborative Law is excellent for a husband and wife who really desire to avoid the financial and emotional damage that routinely occurs during a contentious divorce. The minor children of the parties also benefit because they are not involved in a tug of war or put in a position where they feel that they have to choose one parent over another.
This process requires cooperation by both of the parties as well as their attorneys who have been trained in the Collaborative Law. The Family Law Court cannot order either party to agree to participate in the Collaborative Law process. At New Horizons Law, P.A., Michael J. Costantino, Esq. has had the appropriate training and is experienced in guiding clients through the process. At the onset of the Collaborative Law process both parties and their attorney have to agree to refrain from seeking intervention by a Florida Family Law Court.
Eliminate the Court
The core of the Collaborative Law process is that since the threat of going to court is removed, the parties can openly interact with each other in order to efficiently allow each of them to resolve matters with less animosity towards the other.
This is the first in a series of blogs that will discuss Collaborative Law and provide more details about how the process works as well as what is required by the parties and their respective attorneys. If you have questions about the Collaborative Law Process Act or you want to learn more about collaborative divorce, schedule a consultation with New Horizons Law, P.A., Michael J. Costantino, Esq.

KUALA LUMPUR, 2 Sept 2008: The Malaysia International Shipping Corporation (MISC) has stopped all its vessels from entering the pirate-infested Gulf of Aden until additional security measures have been provided to enhance the safety of its vessels and crew.
MISC said in a statement today this was in addition to the precautionary and preventive measures already in place for all its vessels.
The statement comes in the wake of the seizure of two MISC vessels, MT Bunga Melati 2 and MT Bunga Melati 5, with a crew of 65 Malaysians and 15 Filipinos by pirates in the gulf on 19 Aug and 30 Aug, respectively.
The MISC statement said: "In the case of Bunga Melati 5, such precautionary and preventive measures were carried out and, despite this, Bunga Melati 5 was nevertheless overcome by pirates.
"The vessel was sailing in international waters bordering the coast of Yemen and, on the advice of the coalition forces, Bunga Melati 5 kept within the vicinity of the designated security corridor."
Negotiations are going on for the safe release of the crew of MT Bunga Melati 2 while communication has yet to be established with MT Bunga Melati 5.
The statement said MISC President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas reaffirmed that the safety of the crew remained the company's first and immediate priority and said family members had been briefed and were constantly updated on the situation. – Bernama

Ukrainian, Romanian, Slovak, and Moldavian national costumes all include flower wreaths, which are traditionally worn on special events and religious holidays. Romanians celebrate in June the 'Sânziene' day, when young women are expected to wear white and spend the day searching for and picking flowers; one of these flowers must be Galium verum (Lady's bedstraw or Yellow bedstraw), also known as "Sânziànă" in Romanian. Girls in the community plait flowery crowns from the flowers they picked during the day and wear them when they return home at sunset. There they can celebrate with their significant other whilst dancing around a fire.

This includes grandparent's memories from grandparents videoed by their grandchildren where a specific package is sold online to enable the process. His company also secured third place in the national Intermediate competition.
Continued below…
The Senior Category Business – "Circulation Foot Stool" from St. Joseph's Secondary School, Ballybunion secured a special merit award.
This team consists of Philip Byrne, Jamie Hannon and Fionnán Toomey. The product is a footstool which eases blood circulation particularly for patients/clients with physical disability. The team has secured a place on a business development bootcamp in UCC commencing in late May.

Creativity is an elusive and confounding idea for many people; even people traditionally deemed as "creative" will struggle, often painfully, in pursuit of this alluring idea. I think in most people's minds the first thing they tend to think of when they think of creativity is some form of art, whether it be painting, composing, dancing, writing, etc. I think we all understand creativity as the ability or skill to rise above or go beyond ideas, patterns or relationships that have already been developed or conceived and create something new, unique and refreshing. When I say that we can all benefit from thinking creatively in our jobs and our lives, even if we are not artists, it is obvious. But, I don't think most of us factor in creativity to our daily lives or even think that we are creative people just because we aren't performing artistic feats normally associated with such a noun. But, the truth is, every idea to do something different, or approach a problem uniquely is fostered through creativity, even if the idea or approach is just a rehash of an existing idea. Rehashing is the very definition of creativity and is where many great items and ideas we use today come from. For example, the microwave oven we use today was accidentally discovered when microwave radar transmitters were used to communicate during World War II. But, through creative thinking an alternate use of the transmitter was conceived and now I can heat and eat my Easy Mac in mere seconds 😉
So, what can you do to be more creative in your life? Well, I found this article helpful:
The article has a lot of good suggestions for "improving your personal capacity for creativity and innovation," but here are a few that I would add:
- Change your routine – The article mentions moving or finding a new job, but I don't think it has to be that extreme, just going to a different cafe or performing your morning routine in a different order can be refreshing.
- Try something new – Maybe you've never tried dragon fruit because you're pretty sure you won't like it or you've never done indoor skydiving because you have no interest in it, but the more experiences you have to draw on the easier it will be for you to be creative. If you only do things that you think will apply to your career or your life specifically, you may never know what sort of catalyst for creativity you may be missing out on.
- Do the same thing, but differently – Find an activity or task that you do on a regular basis and perform it in a different way than you usually do. Even if it is just mowing your lawn in a different pattern you may awaken your brain during a time that it's usually on autopilot.
When all else fails, have a good cup of coffee, turn on some good music and find things that inspire you. You can always get a creative jolt from the creative work of others.

A free-spirited necklace paired with turquoise and a sacred heart charm. Turquoise is one of the oldest known gemstones to ever be used in jewelry. Although partial to the deserts of the southwest, there are hundreds of turquoise mines worldwide.
Energetically, turquoise has been known to aid in communication, support tranquility, and foster improved intuition. Although with such a long history across cultures, I would suggest researching the healing properties of turquoise so that you may find properties that best resonate with you.

To find those who will truly create a difference in your company, you may have to take a somewhat different approach. You want to find that one person who will be a game-changer for your business, and you have to be willing to do anything it takes to make that happen.
Don't know where to start? Here are a few suggestions. Following are eight qualities that divide good job candidates from great ones.

Goodbye to July 2020, the month of horrible weather & weird things!
- In a single word, miserable. Hot & humid with heat indices in excess of 115* for days on end.
- No rain to speak of.
- In spite of the weather, few reported issues with AC.
- Many reported issues with appliances (ice makers, ovens, microwaves, etc.). Most of this wear & tear but in a few cases Silly Human Tricks.
- Some electrical issues, but most solved or ready to be addressed.
Weird Stuff
- Screws, bolts & nails coming loose at an odd rate. Interior floor nails, inside chair bolts, door knobs, you name it & it came loose in July.
- No explanation for this at all, but am blaming the weather!
Pools & Spas
- Stressed. Heavy use due to the heat & chems being sucked out like mad.
- Lots of evaporation, taking water levels down.
- Pool guys have been on top of this pretty well.
Guest Behavior
- Still a rough week the first week of July, but has improved much since then.
- Keep those rates high in Sept & Oct!
- While an August event, guests were in general very cooperative about Storm Prep.
Rats, Bugs & Such
- No sign of rats dead or alive in June. There are still here, so don't let your guard down!
- No bugs. Nothing. I expect more with recent rain but overall no issues in July.
- Roly-Poly bugs did create issues in July due to dry conditions, but should retreat to normal outside living space with recent rain.
Turn Day Traffic
- Horrible.
Good News!
- July 2020 was the first July in 3 years I've not been rear-ended while on the road!

This urban stormwater project reduces nutrient loading for the Indian River Lagoon, a designated Estuary of National Significance. The improved causeway treats stormwater from an 8.34-acre watershed by using Low-Impact Design best management practices. They include native landscape bioswales/tree filters, underground exfiltration and pervious pavement. The design further reduced the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus entering the groundwater through use of absorptive media located at the base of each tree well.
During and after the bidding process, our team recommended value engineered changes to enhance the project and reduce cost. After construction began, the City of Cocoa asked for replacement of its water mains in the project's five-block area. We prepared the design and permitted the main replacement to accommodate the request.
The corridor runs east to west along the Atlantic coastal barrier island. We reconstructed the causeway one block at a time, allowing continued access to businesses. Streetscape improvements add aesthetic value and traffic calming measures increase safety. Visitor traffic and new business openings increased after completion of the upgraded roadway in the popular tourism district.
The Minutemen Causeway stormwater project reduces nutrient loading for the Indian River Lagoon. The improvements also added aesthetic value to the corridor, resulting in increased economic development.

Getting low grade oud has always been easy. If anything, it is even easier now, due to the widespread use of the internet by customers and suppliers alike, with low quality being the norm. The rapid disappearing of old trees containing high-grade oud doesn't make things any better.
Then you have Kemenyan, at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Kemenyan was distilled from wood fairly similar to that which was used for creating our now sold-out Borneo Noir. But this time the raw material's quality was even better and the distillation was further tweaked. Shavings from the finest grade of agarwood were used, but there was overall superior oleoresin in the raw material this time.
Unlike most gaharu hunters who go into jungles for days or weeks to harvest agarwood, the hunter who collected the wood for Kemenyan stays there formonths. Unusual (and dangerous) it may be - but he is able to collect wood from areas never tapped before. Areas which have some of the oldest standing agarwood trees in the world. Trees with exceptional all-natural oud resin.
For producing Kemenyan, the lowest possible distillation temperature was used. The lower the temperature, the gentler the distillation, and the more delicate and richer the oil.
So what does Kemenyan smell like?
Imagine cupping your hands over your burner to smell a gently heated Borneo agarwood chip, bubbling lazily and exuding an out-of-this-world aroma. Its hypnotic smell and sheer complexity are hardly ever seen in agarwood harvested nowadays.
The first notes you encounter are bright and ethereal, incredibly 'green', and identical to the vapor that rises from heated chips just before they start to bubble and smoke. This is followed by a clean woody and incensey aroma, intoxicating enough to send the most fastidious ouddict to Happyland.
Since the distillation had been so gentle, all the fundamental notes that are found in Borneo chips were preserved intact in this oil. None of the notes were warped, and certainly no unwanted notes were added that usually creep in when harsh distillation techniques are employed.
Caramelized palm sugar, faint soft florals, a dash of cinnamon, and a touch of nutmeg, riding atop a syrupy Malaccensis oudy base. Simply put: Borneo oud smoke in a bottle.
Kemenyan has a very medicinal quality. And by 'medicinal', I am not referring to the rubbery band-aid smell found in low grade ouds. Rather, sniffing Kemenyan is very similar to inhaling the smoke of gently heated old-school Borneo agarwood chips harvested from ancient, highly-resinated trees. Its soothing, tranquilizing, almost sedating. Its medicine for the soul.
Taha, your Oud
Malinau was excellent, your East Kalimantan Ltd and
Borneo Noir even better... however, your new Kemenyan is
simply out of this world! I have tried many a Borneo and
to be honest it's hard for me to imagine how an oud of
this genre can get better than this!
As I unscrewed the cap and took in the first whiffs, I knew instinctively that I was onto something really special here. This oil is incredibly complex and by no means linear. The gentle steam distillation is evident and I just couldn't detect any off putting notes throughout the evolution of the scent.
I am not going to describe the notes here as I think you have done a pretty good job of this already however, to my nose, the one word missing is... Kyara! and, at this I will leave your customers to see if they agree with me.
This oil shares certain similarities with the Borneo Noir which comes as no surprise as a similar type of wood was used for both distillations (similar to your Aatma and Bhavana) however, on both occasions the subsequent oils have turned out to be far more elegant, complex and satisfying.
The Kemenyan comes highly recommended and I am pretty sure it will hold pride of place in any Borneo oud collection.
The new release of Borneo Kemenyan by Agar Aura has just arrived and it is fantastic! This will be a classic and treasured oud oil once it is all gone (probably by later this summer).
I can't get enough of the scent. Put high quality chips on your burner. Let it warm up a bit. Put your nose over your burner and breathe it in. If you put that fragrance into a 3g bottle of oil, then you have Kemenyan...
Of all the oils I've smelled, this Oud oil most closely resembles the smell of burning Oud chips. It reminds me of the Minorien Fu-In Aloeswood sticks that I love to burn. It has that same light-sweetness. A while back, I noticed what a great pair those Minorien sticks were to a Borneo oil. Here we have a realization of that pair. Incense lovers, you can't miss out on Kemenyan!
Up until now, I've considered myself lucky that I haven't really quite clicked with pure oud oils given that the costs are so prohibitive. And I'd considered myself lucky that the mukhallats - much lower priced - were much more appealing to me. However, Kemenyan has undone all of that. When I put this on this morning I was so captivated by it's smell. At first I thought it was a Cambodian oud because there was a slight fruitiness to it but a little later it "cleaned up" and is an obvious Borneo style oud. But for a while I thought I had picked the wrong sample, I thought it was perhaps the Jinkoh to Byakudan, because I was picking up clear incense-like notes in it. I wish I had a better handle on oud and could describe my experiences like I do with perfumes. Perhaps that will come with time. I had to go to the website to read up on how Taha has described this one and apparently the slow, low temp. distillation process gives it a "green" opening. I may not be able to describe them well, but I can say that of all the oud oils I've tried this one is by far my favorite.
I really like this oud. It has all the elevation and spiriutal quality of a great Borneo Oud along with a soft very grounded smell of the wood. I think this is the best one yet that I have tried from AgarAura.
Customer (USA)
It smells just like burning Oud chips! I'm serious. When I first encountered that unforgettable smell in this oil, I had to question myself and keep smelling. But it was undeniable. This oil has that much sought-after sweet indescribable woodiness that have addicts buying high quality Oud wood and electric burners. It is not even that it has a sweet woodiness–it bears an uncanny similarity that verges on being a perfect duplication of the scent of burning Oud chips.

Descriptive words in a property listing can have you rolling your eyes
Every industry has its own vocabulary. The stock market talks in terms of "share," "position," "bid" and "ask." Real estate is no different. So knowing what Realtors mean with their multiple listing lingo is a timely endeavor when looking for a home.
U.S. News & World Report real estate staff writer Luke Mullins fills you in so you can read between the lines using an informal survey from the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents members around the country. Members were asked to provide any unique or misleading descriptions they had found in listing data and to describe what they actually saw at the property when they arrived, and this is some of what they came up with.
"As-is" pretty much means that the seller has taken a powder on doing any repairs. But don't assume you can't still negotiate for corrections and compensation. It all depends on what is in the purchase contract — not what is in the listing description.
"Bank-owned" means that the home has already gone through a foreclosure process, and the bank now holds the mortgage. While these homes usually need a lot of repair work, they are often priced to reflect that. Nevertheless, negotiating with a bank can be tedious, bureaucratic, and frustrating.
The difference between a den, an office, and a bedroom in a listing can boil down to the existence of a window, a door, or a closet. It does NOT mean a bed and dresser cannot be placed there. Always ask about the nature of the room they list in these terms.
Look for euphemisms like "cozy," "cute," "like grandma's house," "efficient," and "enclave." Connotations often mean pint-sized, never-been-updated, or an island of nice homes in an otherwise undesirable neighborhood. And if you see the words "desirable neighborhood," or "easy access," make sure it doesn't mean the freeway is on top of you.
A "galley kitchen" often means an afterthought pass-through of countertops on the way from the garage where the fridge resides. Get the dimensions and THEN decide if the kitchen is a size you can live with.
A "low maintenance" front or back yard can mean they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Get the listing agent to describe what the yard actually contains.
"Finishing touches needed" means bring your own lighting and plumbing fixtures, carpet, and wood trim. In other words, strap on that handy hip-hugging tool belt and go to town making that home your own.
Find out if "minutes from (somewhere)" means by car, by train, or by foot. Thirty minutes to the nearest elementary school by car may not be the ideal location for you and your family.
And one of the funniest ones they found was, "seller motivated, bring all offers," can mean that the seller is motivated enough to add an extra sentence to the listing, but not motivated enough to price the property where it needs to be in the first place.

This Orion compatible pod offers a firm, leak-free design with a mesh that really helps to bring the best out of your vaping juice flavors. It also comes with adjustable airflow and a removable drip-tip for an even smoother vaping experience. The Pod Mesh Coil, by IQS, has a 0.3ohm resistance and gives you two pods for the price of one. The pod capacity is a good 3ml, and this amount will last you a pretty long time once you fill it up. Giving yourself a little refill will not even be a hassle thanks to the top-fill design that has a diameter of 7mm. The vape juice will be secured, and there will be no major messes created when working with this magnificent product. They're only available in clear at the moment but the plastic tank has been updated so that you can actually see the liquid inside the coil. These pods are available in packs of two so that you do not constantly have to order new ones. This does not suggest that the quality of the pod diminishes quickly. It just means that it is better to stay ready so that you do not have to get ready. This is a great vape for beginners thanks to its ergonomic design and beautiful panels. It's really easy to use and it makes for a pleasant vaping experience.

In a recent survey about what is most important to our members, mental health impacts and support ranked in the top-five priorities, along with rebuilding in-store sales and growing online sales.
Rolling lockdowns and the broader impacts of Covid-19 have heightened these concerns but, as with other trends, the past 18 months has merely accelerated the momentum towards more open and honest conversations about mental health in our community.
In collaboration with Beyond Blue, the ARA has developed this online resource to connect our members with the information they need to:
identify and manage immediate mental health concerns,
address the underlying drivers of stress, anxiety and depression, and
improve wellbeing of their teams and rebuild the resilience of their businesses.
For immediate support in life threatening or crisis situations, call

Self-care for small-business retailers
From a recent member survey, it is evident that there is still a lingering stigma around mental illness in some quarters, creating a barrier for some people seeking professional help or even opening up to a trusted friend or colleague. For others, finding the time to talk or finding someone to talk to are challenges that delay an open discussion about mental health issues.
This doesn't mean that these people should go undiagnosed or untreated. In the ARA's RUOK? Day webinar for 2021, Mel Novak from Beyond Blue talked about one dimension of self-care.
Firstly, take the time to reflect on what triggers your stress or anxiety – what are the specific events that occurred leading into a significant change in your mood? Secondly, develop a plan outlining what you can do (within your control) to minimise those triggers occurring. And thirdly, take positive action when those circumstances arise again – how can you respond positively rather than react negatively.
For more inspiration about self-care, go to the Beyond Blue website or click on this link.
Mental health coaching for small-business retailers
Approximately 95% of the ARA's membership is small and medium sized retailers. In fact, most are family-run businesses with a single shopfront.
For many of these members, running a small business was stressful enough before the pandemic. Unfortunately, many of these stressors have intensified over the past 18 months, especially for those businesses directly impacted by sudden or extended lockdowns.
With data from Beyond Blue, we know that around a third of small business owners were feeling high levels of mental distress before the pandemic, with two/thirds of business owners now saying that Covid-19 has negatively impacted their emotional wellbeing.
To help provide more mental health support to small business, Beyond Blue has launched NewAccess for Small Business Owners – a free, confidential mental health coaching program that combines Low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with business coaching, to improve mental wellbeing and rebuild resilience.
Over six sessions, New Access coaches work with small business owners to provide practical tools that can help manage immediate challenges and break the cycle of negative and unhelpful thoughts that have the potential to escalate stress and anxiety into depression.
The program is open to anyone who owns a small business (with fewer than 20 employees) including sole traders. A referral from a GP is not required and all New Access coaches have a small business background.
For more information about the New Access program, contact Beyond Blue on 1300 945 301, go to the Beyond Blue New Access webpage, or click on this link.
Caring for those employed by small-business retailers
The advice from our RUOK? Day webinar was to let your team know that your door is always open if they want to talk, then listen when they open up.
Steve Plarre, CEO of Plarre Foods Group, said do not try to "fix" the problem – your job is to listen, validate and encourage your team member to seek support. This could be through your own Employee Assistance Program, or resources available on-line, or encouraging a conversation with their GP. Steve also encourages his team to celebrate the small wins and remind them that their "best is good enough" in challenging times.
And if its difficult for you to broach the topic with someone in your team that you're worried about, the folks at RUOK? have provided a useful framework to start the conversation: ask RUOK? and ask again if you need to, listen without judgment, encourage action and (most importantly) follow-up. It's a conversation that could change lives.

Support and advice for small-business retailers
The advice from the Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman, Bruce Billson, was to raise the alarm early. If your business is under significant financial pressure (and many are) don't wait until it's too late to save your business. He said "talk to you bank, talk to the ATO, talk to your landlord" and accept whatever help is on offer.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday asked the Federal Government to immediately put a halt to plans to conduct national census in view of the rising cases of insecurity.
The House said the exercise should be suspended until the security situation improves while asking chairman of the National Population Commission (NPC) to brief the House on the planned exercise.
Sponsor of the motion of urgent public importance, Rep Shehu Beji Barwa, told his colleagues if the exercise is allowed to go ahead, a lot of Nigerians will be denied the opportunity of being counted having been displaced by insurgency and insecurity across the land.
Details shortly…

Parents are often unsure of what they can do when their child has been charged with some sort of violation of the student code of conduct, or maybe even a crime, and is now facing some serious consequences at the school. Could be long-term suspension; it may be even expulsion, which by the way, in most states, including ours, means that they'll send the kid to an alternative school, not that they won't have any schooling. Nevertheless, they don't know what the process is.
The process is relatively straightforward. You have a right to appeal the decision for discipline to the Superintendent who will give you some sort of informal hearing. If you're not satisfied with the results of the Superintendent's decision, you have a right to appeal that to the School Board. The School Board opportunity is a chance to actually confront witnesses. You'll be able to have access to all the relevant documents, and you'll be able to make your argument to convince the Board to overturn the decision of the Superintendent.
If you're not satisfied with the results from that, you actually have the right to go further and take them to court. However, the standard in court is very difficult. You will at that point have to prove that the Board's action was arbitrary and capricious. Meaning that no reasonable Board could have decided the way they did.
Because that step is so difficult, it's important to have knowledgeable counsel guide you through the process, so that you have your best opportunity to prevail in front of the Superintendent and your second best opportunity to prevail in front of the Board.

I like to do Food For Thought posts on the weekends here at Productive Flourishing. The particular idea I've been thinking about is particularly well-suited for a podcast, so here we go!
The Paradox of Fortunate Misfortune deals with the basic human phenomena in which misfortunate things happen that benefit us later on. No one wants to go through misfortune, yet misfortune and adversity build human character. Learning to ask the "what" question rather than the "why" question empowers us to turn that misfortune into fortune.
The background of the idea came from listening to the song below. It's not required listening, but it may be helpful, and plus it helps me spread the word about an under-discovered artist. Take a listen if you'd like to hear the emotion that got me thinking:

Employers Finally Get a Break—Court Reverses $90 Million Verdict and Holds That Employers Are Not Required to Relieve Employees of All Duty During Rest Periods
On December 31, 2014, the Court of Appeal for the Second District of California held in an unpublished opinion that employers are not required to relieve employees of all duty during rest periods mandated by California state law. In so holding, the court in Augustus v. ABM Sec. Servs., Inc., No. B243788, 2014 WL 7463154 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 31, 2014), reversed the trial court's award of approximately $90 million dollars in statutory damages, interest, penalties, and attorneys' fees to the employees.
