In a new survey of 700 rental property owners across the country, maintenance, repairs and replacement continues to be the biggest stressor overall for property owners and managers, according to Buildium.com. Overall 61% of respondents reported maintenance and repairs as stressful, compared to 62% last year, according to the survey.
"It is clear property owners are struggling with both maintenance and tenant management," Darcy Jacobsen, content manager at Buildium.com said during the webinar about the property owners perspective survey. "If you are an owner and you are struggling with these issues you are not alone.
"If you are a property manager these are things you might want to bring up when you are trying to win more business, or emphasize in your marketing materials, or when you are talking to owners," Jacobson said.
Top 3 Biggest Stressors for Property Owners and Managers
- Maintenance, repairs and replacements
- Dealing with problem tenants
- Finding and keeping good tenants
Dealing With Problem Tenants Now No. 2
While maintenance scored as the top stressor, three out of owners' four top complaints were solidly in the area of tenant management.
Last year, 'finding and keeping tenants' came in a very close second (58%). This year it dropped to number 3 – (49%). It swapped spots with 'dealing with problem tenants', which is now number 2 – (52%). 'Tenant damage and vandalism' came in fourth place this year (38%).
The take-away here seems clear.
Maintenance woes scored highest on their own, but three out of owners' four top complaints were solidly in the area of tenant management. In fact, you have to go very deep into the list to find additional maintenance-related issues – such as pest management and severe weather, which tied at 6%.
Breaking Down the Top Maintenance Issues
When Buildium.com broke down the top maintenance issues in the survey, to highlight problems that have hit owners and property managers the worst in recent years, roofing, painting, foundations and landscaping came to the top.
Maintenance upkeep costs were clearly at the top with "bad tenants" right behind, so "no wonder then when we asked owners why they might look for a property manager, 60% told us their top reason was maintenance," Buildium.com said in the survey.
Owners said in the survey, "I would like someone else to deal with maintenance and emergencies," was the top answer. And, 52 percent said managing property day-to-day is too time consuming."
Property owners were 54% men and 46% women, according to the survey.
Buildium said in the survey that, "As a rental property owner, whether you are a strategic investor or someone who has fallen more unexpectedly into ownership, you are probably curious about the experience of others.
- How are they keeping property ownership profitable and enjoyable?
- What are their best practices?
Or perhaps you are a property manager looking for insights on what owners care about most.
- How can you connect with them?
- What are their expectations from property management and ownership?

Three soldiers killed in gunfire in southeastern Turkey

Three Turkish soldiers have been shot dead in broad daylight in the Yüksekova district of the southeastern province of Hakkari, Doğan News Agency has reported.
The three soldiers, who were not uniformed, were shot at around 4 p.m. on Oct. 25 on the district's central Cengiz Topel Street before succumbing to their injuries in hospital, the agency said.
The General Staff said in a written statement that the victims were one gendarmerie specialist sergeant and two gendarmerie privates.
Anadolu Agency said the soldiers were in town to buy electrical equipment for the military post where they were serving.
The General Staff also stated that the attack is thought to have been carried out by three "terrorists," while Interior Minister Efkan Ala said it was staged by "two masked individuals."
Five suspects detained
Special teams organized simultaneous raids at several addresses early on Oct. 26, detaining five suspects, Anadolu Agency reported.
The five suspects were brought to the district police directorate, where they were interrogated by anti-terror units.
Battles between the Turkish military and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants eased from May last year, when a number of PKK militants withdrew from Turkish soil as part of ongoing talks to resolve the decades-old Kurdish problem.
The Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which is focused on the Kurdish problem, released a statement expressing its sadness at the soldiers' deaths, also calling on all parties to accelerate efforts on the peace process.
Unrest that peaked on Oct. 6 and 7 led to the death of dozens of people in clashes between rival groups, following protests over the government's perceived inaction toward Syrian Kurds besieged by jihadists in the Syrian border town of Kobane.
A key Cabinet member, Deputy Prime Minister Yalçın Akdoğan, suggested on Oct. 23 that the jailed leader of the PKK himself fueled the fire in the protests.
Entry to Tunceli closed
Tensions were also high Oct. 25 in the eastern province of Tunceli (Dersim) after the Tunceli Governor's Office prohibited all entry to the province due to the planned opening of a cemetery for fallen PKK militants in the northern Pülümür district.
Tunceli Co-Mayor Mehmet Ali Bul described the situation in the province as "a return to the 1990s."
"All roads have been closed by soldiers and police ... This doesn't contribute to the peace process at all. People's freedom of movement has been taken away from them unlawfully. This kind of prohibition wasn't even imposed during martial law [in the 1990s]."
Ergin Doğru, the provincial head of the Democratic Regions Party (DBP), the sister party of the HDP, also slammed the denial of access to the area.
"We are declaring to the soldiers and the police: Tomorrow at 11 a.m., we will head to the cemetery with the people and conduct the opening," he said, according to daily Radikal. "We have the constitutional and legal right to travel and honor the dead. Our rights have been seized and usurped by the Turkish Republic's fascist mindset."
Three members of the PKK were also killed by security forces on Oct. 23 in the eastern Turkish province of Kars. Clashes erupted when four militants reportedly attacked a hydroelectric power station in the Kağızman district.
Three of them were killed in the clash while one managed to escape. An operation was launched to capture the escaped militant.

Rapper, singer, bourgeoning rockstar, and everything in between, Lil HBK —which stands for HeartBrokenKid—has been working. With clear influences from stars like Lil Uzi Vert and Travis Scott, HBK seamlessly melds parts of their styles into very unique creativity and artistry all his own.
I got the chance to interview Lil HBK a few days after his 20th birthday in January. We talked about everything from how he started making music and his current genre-blending approach to how he would describe his personal fashion sense. Get to know HBK below.
GRUNGECAKE: I see you're into fashion, you make your own beats, and of course, write and perform your own music. So, what do you want, in general, from your career?
Lil HBK: I want to be successful in all three avenues. I want to start my own clothing line. I want to be a successful producer and a successful artist.
What's your song-making process like? Do you write first? Does the beat come first?
I never like to write without the beat, so the beat comes first. Sometimes, I just have melodies in my head, not really words just yet, and sometimes, I get in the studio and just record all the way through and everything comes together. Beat, lyrics, and melody. So, I have three different ways of making a song: Full-on just freestyling, key-in freestyle, which is adding in a line at a time until it's perfect, or just going all the way through.
How did you start rapping and making music?
In the beginning, it was poetry slams. I used to write poetry, and then perform it. Then, I actually started making music, like beats and stuff, freshman year of high school. My first beats and songs were made on a school computer that they gave us, that had GarageBand on it. And I'd just record using earbuds and GarageBand beats. This was in 2014.
What is the inspiration behind your name, 'Lil HBK'?
So, HBK actually stands for "HeartBrokenKid". When I first started, I had a certain perception of the world. My message is a lot different now than when I started and my perception has changed, but I went through a lot of stuff and the world just didn't seem bright. Now, I know life can be as good or as bad as you make it. I've started to focus on, and make more positive and uplifting music, which is on the way.
Who or what are your inspirations for your art?
Like, musically or?
Anybody, anything. Not just music.
Travis Scott. Elon Musk. Kanye West. Baby Keem. Lancey Foux, too. And just like, other creations. What we can all do as humans, in general, really inspires me, like, I'm more inspired by the things I see around me. Just driving in a car down a street can inspire me. And for Lancey Foux, like the melodies. Like, I play the piano. All of that is very inspiring for me.
How was it, working with Ski Mask the Slump God? I heard the couple of songs you guys have together, 'How Ya Feel' and 'Night Time'.
Very, very lit. And it happened super early in my career, thanks to social media (Twitter), which I didn't think would happen. Working with him was cool.
So, how do you choose who you want to feature on your songs and who you want to feature for? And what are your plans for collaborations in 2020?
For features, the first and most important thing is, "Do I like their music?" Then, second, I'm really a face-to-face kind of person. Face-to-face interactions are the second most important, do we vibe well together. "How are the studio vibes?" Then, third is their brand, and what they represent.
As for 2020 features, I'm actually stepping back from having features and featuring on other people's stuff for a while. I want to establish myself fully as a brand and as an artist, like, for the next 6 months.
I have a lot of goals for 2020. I'm going to be dropping a lot of singles and music videos. I want to garner a lot of attention, as much as possible, and once it's at a peak, I'm going to drop a tape. I want the tape to be well thought out and put together. And for now, I'm dropping music frequently—basically, I had a tape already done ,but I'm turning it into just a bunch of singles that I'll take the time to focus on pushing, one by one. Then, off the attention of all of those, I'll drop another full tape.
I have a new collection of music styles that I want to show off, honestly. This tape, I want it to be at least fifteen songs.
How did you choose the arrangement for the last tape? What song went after what song, etc.?
I chose the best of the best. It's a mixtape, and I went with the flow. I wanted a natural feel and really wanted to make what felt right at the time. Whatever made it onto that mixtape was how I was feeling and the best of the best.
What's your favorite song of yours? That you've made?
What's crazy is my favorite songs have to be the ones I haven't even released yet. Like, my growth as an artist is really exciting for me, and I'd have to say my new stuff, so far is my favorite. But as for what's already out, my favorites are probably… 'Keep It Silent' and 'Good Looking'.
And what's your favorite part about you as an artist?
I'd say my stage presence. Definitely. And really, I make so much music—my growth.
How do you feel about being signed to a record label versus continuing to be independent?
I actually don't really have any issues with being signed. I think it gives me leverage if the deal is right. I'm actually currently getting some offers, and I always check all of them out. I'm almost done building my team. I have a booking agent already, but I'm looking to fill it out and hire a lawyer, a videographer, a graphic designer, all of that.
It's very important that whatever deal you do cut in the future is right, so I'm glad you said that. So, after this six-month run of marketing and promotion concluded by a whole tape, do you have any dream collaborations? Or rather, who are your favorite artists too?
My dream collabs and favorite artists are actually Lil Uzi (Vert), Travis (Scott), Baby Keem, and 88grand.
What were your favorite albums of 2019?
'DIE FOR MY BITCH' (by Baby Keem), 'Friend or Foux' (by Lancey Foux), 'JACKBOYS' (by JACKBOYS & Travis Scott).
My last couple questions are just to sum you up for anyone who scrolls to the bottom of this and just wants a quick overview of who you are. In one sentence, how would you describe yourself/your music to someone who's never heard you before?
– thinking silence – My music is very versatile, but for the most part, it's a high energy, ready to perform music.
Perfect; how would you describe your fashion? This doesn't have to be one sentence.
I wear a lot of exclusive brands and pieces. I don't like to wear stuff everybody has. I have a lot of different styles, but I always like to match colors subtly. I like patterns and textures too, but in moderation. I'm polished and wear a lot of colors. I want to be known for being fly too, and I'm creating a clothing brand, so I gotta be.
HBK's artistic and musical growth from seventeen to twenty years old is immense and impressive for someone his age. He reminded me of a slight workaholic, but more leaning towards someone who is intent on perfecting his craft and not afraid to try different things to do so. He is a multidimensional and talented new-generation artist — meaning he doesn't only sing, and doesn't only rap. He has mastered melodies, and in the same vein as his influences and favorite artists, he will sing, rap, ad-lib, switch voices, hum, rage and mosh his way to the forefront of the new school. HBK is an easy choice for something like XXL Magazine's Freshman List. And for anyone quick to write-off the newer style of melding melodies and sing-rapping, don't group HBK with "all of the "Lil"s". HBK will bar you to death on one song and sing an honest and raw ode to an ex-flame on the next — this sort of versatility is invaluable, especially right now, and should be celebrated. So, check out Lil HBK on Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube, and SoundCloud. He's made sure there's plenty to listen to. Don't sleep.
Lil HBK also has a great and active social media presence. Stay updated via his Twitter and Instagram.

Project Chick is a documentary that constructs a poetic portrait of Kim El, an award-winning playwright, actress and poet from the Addison Terrace Projects in Pittsburgh's Hill District.
BADWest presents St. Clair Bourne 4th Monday Free Documentary Screening virtual experience with two documentary shorts, "Mississippi River Road" (Episode 2) directed by Spencer Howard and "Project Chick" directed by Gregory Scott Williams, Jr.
A Mississippi River levy hugging road, connecting communities created by the hundreds of plantations that once flourished along the river. The plantations are long gone but the communities embodying our cultural legacy, the African impact on life along the Mississippi River, remain. Africans on the Mississippi, documenting the historic Mississippi River Road oral histories, music, food, language, and culture that left an indelible imprint on America and the world. Africans on the Mississippi, stories from the river road.
The film is an experimental mixture of observational, poetic and expository documentary that transports viewers through Kim's journey to overcome the stigma of poverty, childhood trauma and the resulting issues of low self-worth and chronic depression.
Project Chick is an unsentimental and empowering portrait of a woman who knows the time for being less than has passed. Kim El is emblematic of a new generation of women dedicated to breaking destructive cycles, loving themselves and changing the world.

Historic Sites of Manitoba: North High Bluff School No. 23 (RM of Portage la Prairie)
The original school was built on Max Wilton's yard site (29-12-5W) in 1872, in what would later become the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie. North High Bluff School (sometimes referred to as Wilton School) was built and established on 33-12-5W in 1903 and stood until 1943 when it was destroyed by fire. School was held at Wilton's house between 1943 and 1946. In the latter year the school was rebuilt and closed in 1961 when it was consolidated with High Bluff Consolidated School No. 2418. The school burned in 1975. A monument was dedicated at the site in August 2001.
Some of the teachers who worked at North High Bluff School through the years were Jean Wilton Law (1907), Lucy Metcalfe Davidson, Eunice Cruikshank, Miss Graham, Lena Barron McKay, Miss Jackson, Myrtle Moffat Millar, Myrtle Barron Metcalfe, Emma McIntosh, Lillian Tyson, Melba Ross Scrase, Jose Griffin, Marguerite Wilton Pruder, Helen Miller Judd, Betty Morgan Kennedy, Martha Hanson Warburton, Geraldine Thompson, Irene Pelk Murdoch, Ella Earls Cook, Louise Cook, Sarah Donnelly Smith, Mrs. Low, Mrs. Alice Laird, Betty Cook Stevens, Mrs. Laura Wilton, Marjorie Greenlay Young, Dorothy Millar, Ann Wiwchar, Irine Mcphee, Verna Allan, Miss Enns, Miss Zacharias, Margaret Allan Woodward, and Mrs. Ethel Tidsbury.

Brother HL-L2375DW Driver Download– The Brother HL-L2375DW is a fast, small-footprint mono laser printer that can connect to a network and perform two-sided printing. The HL-L2375DW supports Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. For the Brother HL-L2375DW Driver, you can download the link below. oh yes, this printer will meet the needs of those who print a lot but don't need color to enhance their documents
In dark gray and black, it is 356mm wide x 283mm deep, although a reasonable distance is needed on the right side so as not to block hot air from the cooling fan. It is 183mm tall, but due to the design with the paper output lying flat on top of the machine, it doesn't need much apparent headroom except when looking at the single-line LCD screen. Therefore, it will not take up much space in your home or office.
The A4 paper tray, which has a capacity of 250 sheets, sits neatly in the machine, and there is also a pull-out cover on the front of the machine to access the single-sheet feeder. Both the tray and single-sheet feeder have adjustable paper guides. The specifications state that paper up to 160gsm can be used in the tray and up to 230gsm through the single-sheet feeder, which is also used for envelopes.
When loading paper or envelopes in the single-sheet feeder, care must be taken to ensure that the paper or envelopes are "square." With the larger flap lowered at the rear of the unfolded machine, a straight paper path minimizes paper roll.
Following the single A3 instruction leaflet instructions, Toner cartridge installation and machine setup are made easy. The included CD provides one connectivity option: USB, WiFi, or Ethernet. The power cord is the only one provided. It seems that the assumption is that the more WiFi the connection means, there is no real need to provide a USB or network cable.
While setting up a WiFi connection is very easy, entering the wireless password is laborious. It is done via a single-line LCD status display along with Up/Down, Back, and OK buttons. When connected via WiFi, the screen can also show signal strength.
Although the printer will generally be used for documents where most of the content is text and thus either 300 or 600 dpi satisfies 1200 dpi is also an option when required for graphics applications.
Although Brother claims speeds of up to 34 pages per minute, in real-life tests, I found that a 20-page document took about 50 seconds to print one-sided and 80 seconds when two-sided. This is equivalent to 24 and 15 ppm, respectively. The reason for the speed difference is that each page must be "reloaded" for duplex" before the second side can be printed. This is much faster than duplex printing with inkjets, where there has to be an additional delay for the ink to dry before each page is drawn back into the printer.
This machine has standard (TN-2410) and high capacity (TN-2420) toner cartridges, with the latter offering better value for money. This is because the claimed page capacity of the higher capacity cartridge is 3,000 pages vs. 1,200 for the others, but they only cost about twice as much.
With a list price of £166.80, Inc. VAT, but available on Amazon for £99.07, the HL-L2375DW is an affordable, versatile printer for smaller offices. It is fast and easy to set up and easy to use, thus allowing users to concentrate on what is important to them. However, given that laser printers tend to be used by those who need to print more pages, I was a little disappointed that this printer only comes with a 700-page "starter" toner cartridge. This means that to be on the safer side, it would make sense to buy a spare cartridge simultaneously as a printer.

Do you agree with me that all headphones break? Of course, they do! These devices come with several delicate and complex internal components that will get manhandled and wear out with time, which then leads to an unavoidable malfunction. You can only delay or postpone it; you cannot avoid it.
Listening devices have become a necessity and a fashion statement with lots of users willing to spend hundreds of dollars to listen to high-quality sound in styles. And since there are so many different types of headphones with different price range and quality available on the market, the next question that probably comes to the mind especially when shopping for a great pair of listening devices is "how long do headphones last?".
In this edition, we will discuss some factors that affect headphone's longevity. We will also explore the types of headphones available on the market today and how long they are expected to last.
How Long Are Headphones Expected To Last?
Types of Headphones
The type of headphone you choose can affect its durability. But before we discuss which type of headphone has the longest lifespan, let us take a deeper look into the different types of headphones available in the market today.
Wired Headphones
This type of headphone connects to a media device or audio source (such as smartphone, MP3 player, portable cd players, iPod, laptop, etc.) using a wire. Wired headphones come with a lot of advantages which include cheaper cost, brilliant sound quality, and do not require the use of batteries. However, their cord is exposed to physical stress which can easily get them damaged.
Wired headphones are available in different styles which include the following:
Open-back Headphones
As the name implies, the ear cup of this type of headphones come with an open back that allows leakage of sound into the environment. The sound produced by this type of headphones is open and airy, just like listening to music from speakers in a room. Their open construction that allows sound to escape into the surrounding makes them the number one pick for audio engineers when it comes to accurate mastering and mixing in studio settings.
Generally, open-back headphones create less pressure on the ear, little wonder why they are more comfortable to wear for a longer period of time. They are also available in both on-ear style and over-the-ear versions.
Closed-back Headphones
This type of headphones blocks out any noise in its user's surrounding to rid the music of any outside interference, irrespective of the user's environment. It also creates an isolated listening experience, so only its user can hear the sounds.
This type of headphone is great for people who want a very private listening experience or those who want to engulf themselves in their music and hear every little detail of it without disturbing others.
Musicians in a recording setting mostly use Closed-back headphones because of their ability to block out all peripheral noises as well as the notes in the vocalist or instrument.
They have little or no noise leakage so, little or no sound escapes into the environment (which can cloud up a track if they leaked into the microphone). In terms of design, this type of headphone is available in both the smaller on-ear and the bigger over-ear style and are usually larger than other available types of headphones.
Related: Open-Back vs. Closed-Back Headphones: Which is Better?
Earbuds can be described as small speakers that stay on the outer ear and do not enter deeply into the ear canal like their in-ear brothers. They are portable and have a slim design but are larger than in-ear headphones and allows for sound leakages-giving its users the benefit of listening to flat sounds.
This type of headphones struggles to produce true sound isolation and can fall out with moderate body movement since they do not grip the ear well as their in-ear counterparts.
So, if you're looking for a pair of headphones to use at the gym or to listen to your favorite music without the interference of external sound, this type of headphones might not be what you need. But if you are looking for a portable version that you can easily carry around, then this would be a great choice.

In-ear Headphones (Also Known As Canalphones)
This type of headphones is the most popular, portable, versatile, and convenient. This type of headphones goes a little deeper into the ear canal (close to the eardrums), unlike the earbuds that stay on the outer ridge of the ear. They work as closed-back headphone version with the benefit that includes factors like sound accuracy, sound isolation (very little sound leakage) and comfort (at least for some).
Generally, this type of headphones has silicon ear tip for more protection and comfort. These silicon ear tips fill up space in the ear canal to prevent sounds from the surrounding environment from gaining entrance into the ear while allowing sound from the headphone to enter directly into the ear. In-ear headphones are great for those who love to listen to music on the go, as they travel, run or even at the gym.
On-ear Headphones
This type of headphones goes over its user's head and rest just on top of its user's ears. The ear cups of on-ear headphones are a bit smaller (about the size of the actual ear). They behave slightly like open-back headphones in that they allow some amount of sound from their surroundings to get in and some to leak out from the headphone.
Generally, this type of headphones is comfortable for use as it does not cause its users to sweat as much as they would when the over-ear model is used.
However, the on-ear model rests on the ears, so it is important to find a pair with the right amount of clamping force that does not exert too much pressure on your ears or fall off your ears while you move.
Over-ear Headphones (Also Known As Circumaural)
This type of headphone fit over the ear and around the ear cartilage. The ear padding of the headphone rests over the ear so that the entire ear is covered — this help to limit noise leakage and block out external sounds. Its users will be able to listen to their music in isolation, making this model the superior headphones for noise reduction.
Over-ear headphones are usually available in closed-back style, but you can still get the open-back version of this headphone that breathes and allow sound to enter or leak out.
Over-ear headphones offer a higher level of comfort as they are mostly made of leather and\or velvet and do not crunch its user's ears like some of their on-ear brothers. However, they are the heaviest and bulkiest headphone style and can cause its users to sweat due to the limited air circulation it allows.
They may cause fatigue on the ears and head if they are worn for a long period of time due to their weight. But if you don't mind the size and love to listen to music in an audio-intimate and pristine environment, this type of headphone is for you.
Wireless Headphones
This type of headphones offers wireless connectivity via the transmission of radio waves from the transmitter (media source) to the receiver. The prevalent radio transmitter technology used in contemporary wireless headphones is the Bluetooth technology. These radio waves have their unique frequency instead of utilizing the outdated available radio frequencies that might cause disruptions with actual radios.
Bluetooth headphones come with a small computer chip that allows you to pair with various devices and listen to music just as you would with normal headphone styles but without the hassles of cords. This type is available in all styles of headphones (in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, open-back, and closed-back versions).
They offer a higher level of convenience and durability than the traditional headphone styles (since you won't have to fiddle with the cord which is often the first part of a headphone that gets damaged).
However, wireless headphones are more expensive than their corded brothers. Another downside of these headphones is that they run on the battery which needs to be charged and recharged when the power runs down. If you want the cordless convenience and don't mind dropping some spare cash or charging the headphone now and then, the wireless models would be a great choice.
Build Quality
The build quality of a headphone cable and internal components has a lot to do with its durability. Generally, headphone made of quality materials last longer but they usually come with a high price tag. When it comes to headphones, what you get is what you paid for. You can spend less amount of money and get a pair that will only last a few months or spend more and get a premium quality set that will remain a good partner for over a decade.
We recommend the later as you can get a high-quality set that will provide you with quality sound for years with a small investment instead of wasting money on headphones with a low-quality sound that won't last long. Another advantage of high-quality headphone is that they usually come with a year warranty and can be replaced if they stop working. They can also be repaired for less than it would cost to buy an inferior quality headset as their new replacement.
Care and Handling
If you are still wondering how long do earbuds last or how long do wireless headphones last, you should know that their lifespan is a function of how you handle and care for them. Your headphones will last longer if you handle them well, take good care of them, and store them properly.
Earbuds and in-ear headphones are fragile and can easily get clogged with wax – keeping them clean all the time and storing them in a case when they are not in use will help to increase their lifespan. In the case of wireless headphones, proper storage and avoiding accidental falls, overcharging, and contact with water will help to extend their lifespan.
Spending your hard-earned money on a pair of headphones that soon call it a quit after a few weeks of use can be very frustrating. You need to know how long a pair of headphones is expected to last before you invest in one. When it comes to headphones longevity, there are some things you have to keep in mind, which this article has taken time to explain.
Here is our little recommendation. When shopping for a pair of headphones, ditch the cheap ones and always go for high-quality products since they have higher chances of lasting longer than the inferior quality products. However, the most important thing is to handle your headphone properly and take good care of them. Always remember that even a premium-quality headphone will get damage with improper storage and poor handling.

Have you been feeling sad or stressed lately? Life is hectic for so many of us, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. If you think you might be depressed, it's important to get professional help and reach out to loved ones. But whether you're going through a bad day or a bad month, a little simple self-care can take the edge off and have you feeling more happy and relaxed.
Looking after stressed out skin
Our skin can be the first thing to take a hit when we're stressed or low. It's not uncommon to break out in spots due to stress, or you might have dark circles from sleepless nights. Whatever your skin woes, take a little time for mindfulness meditation. Having healthy, glowing skin on the outside can really boost your self-esteem and help you to feel better on the inside, too. Plus, it gives you an excuse to pamper yourself. Why not put on a face mask and relax with a good book tonight?
Treat yourself to calm
If you are stressed out or feeling blue, you might be finding it hard to switch off. Could you treat yourself to a little oasis of calm? A warm bubble bath with candles, or even a long, hot shower, can shield you from the outside world and leave you feeling relaxed. Water can be incredibly soothing. When you get out of the water, why not try a little mindfulness meditation to soothe your mind? Getting into the habit of meditating, even for a short time, can help you to keep a calmer mood throughout the day and navigate life's stresses with a bit more ease.
Relax tense muscles
Our body can store stress and mental pain in ways we don't even realize. If you're going through a rough patch, you might have noticed your shoulder, neck or back are sore. Why not look into massage therapy and treat yourself to some relaxation? Massage can have incredible benefits for both the mind and body. If you can't afford a massage treatment, you could ask a loved one to rub your shoulders or you could invest in a hand-held massage tool. You could try stretching out sore muscles with a little yoga, too. There are many free videos on YouTube that you can try, so you can stretch in the comfort of your own home.
Take a load off your mind
If your thoughts are racing and feel out of control, getting them down on paper can really help. Try just scribbling down your thoughts, without any fear of judgment. It can be soothing to take a step back and realize that you are actually separate from your thoughts. Once you've got the bad thoughts out on paper, you can throw them away if that helps. Perhaps you'll want to start a gratitude journal. Research shows keeping a gratitude journal can be beneficial for mental health. Focusing your energy on all the tiny things that are going right can help you to face the more challenging things with a more positive mindset.
What self care do you do when you are feeling down? Let me know in the comments below!

Return to Vietnam: Mission Accomplished
Old Glory Honor Flight has completed its mission.
Fifty-two local veterans are on their way home after spending two weeks in Vietnam on the first-ever Honor Flight to that country.
In our Return to Vietnam coverage, Jeff Alexander files one final report before the vets return home.
Without question, it is mission accomplished for Old Glory Honor Fligh t-- and most importantly, for the veterans on their historic return to Vietnam.
Over the past two weeks, they have laughed, they have cried and they have developed a bond that is truly special.
And they've seen Vietnam, that in most areas, looks drastically different from when they were here the first time 50 years ago.
From the hustle and bustle of Saigon and the fertile fields of the Mekong Delta -- to the beautiful coastal city of Da Nang and the scenic Perfume River in Hue -- and finally here in Hanoi, the vets have seen a country that is growing in prosperity.
And, of course, the vets were there for each other during those highly emotional moments when we returned to the areas they served and lost friends during the war
This journey was an experience that will stick with these veterans for the rest of their lives.
"When I left here 48 years ago, I shut the door, and when we came back now we're opening the door, and when the tears started I thought, 'oh boy,' but now the door can stay open," Dennis Helke of Manitowoc said.
"It was a blessing to be here and to meet so many of the local people throughout all of Vietnam. We were received well, welcomed, we were treated like kings," George Dexter of Suamico said.
"And the people that made this trip possible," Elton Scheunemann from Suamico said. "It's just, I can't thank them enough. It's just a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I'm truly grateful."
"The cries, the smiling, the happiness, something that none of us probably ever would've had the opportunity to do, and I pray that we have either some or all have some type of closure to go back home and live the rest of our lives realizing that we did something good, and we can let it go and enjoy the rest of our lives with our family and our friends," Vietnam veteran and Old Glory Honor Flight board member Tony Van Kampen said.
The next time you see these guys there will probably be one last round of tears when they receive the unexpected and long overdue welcome home they so richly deserve.

5 Different Types of Drummers:
- Rudimental/Marching/Drumline
- Metal/Hard Rock
- R+B/Funk/Hip Hop
- Jazz
- Versatile
Now, more than ever, there is more diversity in the stylistic avenue you can choose to pursue your drumming and more importantly, your music. Given the advances in technology, information, and home recording, it is much easier to become a specialized drummer in a vast area of genres. Still, this all leads to the question: Which type of Drummer are YOU?
The only possible answer is, in fact, quite simple. The only drummer you should strive to be is a Good One, better yet a GREAT ONE! OK, I realize this a somewhat vague answer to an equally vague question that doesn't really help define a specific type of genre to place one in, so let me back up a bit.
Webster's Dictionary defines greatness as the quality or state of being great (as in size, skill, achievement, or power). OK, now we are now getting closer to some elements that are relatable to us as drummers most specifically:
- skill
- achievement
Yes, size and power do play a significant part in some styles of drumming, but without the skills needed, it won't matter what drummer you define yourself as…unless, of course, you to choose to identify yourself as a poor one.
In an attempt to help define what type of drummer you consider yourself to be or how to gain the skill set to become the drummer or percussionist you'd like to be, let's look at five different types of styles and areas of study that may be of interest to you. Of course, there are several more styles and sub-genres within these styles, but let's keep to these five for now.
1. Rudimental/Marching/Drumline
This often be can be the best introduction to drumming and music and can provide you with an excellent foundation for a lifetime of great hands and the other major components to being a great musician such as:
- timekeeping
- ensemble playing
- listening
- personal accountability and teamwork
To excel in this idiom, you will need to put a great deal of time and consistent, daily practice into working on:
- Technique
- Mastering the 40 P.A.S (Percussive Arts Society) International Rudiments, A general knowledge of the many "Hybrid Rudiments" that have developed over the past 30 years.
- Mastery of all binary and ternary rhythms as they relate to a quarter note pulse (in this case, your feet). Thom Hannum's "A Percussionist's Guide to Check Patterns" is an invaluable resource.
The results will be extremely beneficial and can be readily applied to many other styles of drumming as well.
Some of the greatest drummers in history, such as Elvin Jones and Steve Gadd, have credited their marching experience as the foundation of developing their unique style.
There are also many physical benefits to today's marching programs as well. Modern Drum Corps International and Winter Guard International programs, as well as competitive college and high school programs, require a great deal of physical marching agility and body movement, which has evolved quite a bit in the past 30 years. Here are some examples of how the activity has evolved:
1993 Star Of Indiana- Endurance Study:
2019 World Champion Santa Clara Vanguard Drumline:
As you can see, the physical demand for today's premier marching groups is quite intense and very competitive. However, you don't need to march a premier DCI or WGI to reap the benefits of rudimental drumming that can be applied to other styles of percussion. Even participating in modest, local marching or parade bands will help you hone the skills you need and give you the guidance to practice and excel.
2. Metal/Hard Rock Drumming
This is another popular style of drumming that has evolved immensely in the past 50 years. It contains many sub-genres that cover a broad range of speed and intensity. Like marching, to be a great drummer in this genre, it will require dedicated, consistent practice. Some examples of the skills needed in this genre:
- Precision in both hands and feet
- Physical endurance and stamina needed to play at a high volume and rapid tempo
- Double Bass or "extended" single bass technique (blast beats etc.)
- Knowledge and command of odd groupings and odd meters.
Some of today's premier drummers throughout the genre, such as Mike Mangini, Matt Garstka, Tomas Haake, and Brann Dailor credit their years of hard work practicing and playing in metal bands as essential to developing their incredible power and stamina.
Like these players, today's premier innovators in jazz drumming such as Mark Guiliana, Dave King and Dan Weiss also credit Hard Rock titans such as John Bonham and Neil Peart as well as the many metal sub-genres as influential to their styles as well.
John Bonham. The "Godfather" of Hard Rock and Metal Drumming
3. R+B/Funk/Hip Hop Drummer
I think a better way to label this category would be anything that is groove-based as opposed to say, dexterity, or chops based. That is not to say that this genre doesn't include absolute monster players who possess incredible amounts of chops, skill, and versatility.
A lot of today's premier players in this category, such as Chris "Daddy" Dave, Aaron Spears, and Chris Coleman, have pushed the envelope as to what is physically possible on the drums, still supporting the music and grooving hard.
Chris "Daddy" Dave:
Aaron Spears:
However, you don't need to possess world-class chops to work hard and enjoy playing within this genre, but you will need the following skills:
- Great timekeeping and the ability to play with a click track
- Dynamics and (most importantly) feel
- The ability to serve the song
This is by far the most visible and popular genre today. One needs to not look further than Late Night TV or the Super Bowl to see great players like such as Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, Sean Pelton, and Brian Frasier- Moore laying down great grooves to millions.
Many drummers can find a great deal of work in Wedding/GB, Top-40, or Cover Bands to which you will no doubt be playing and emulating a lot of today's top players and grooves.
In addition to the amount of hard work you will need to put in on your groove, feel, and timekeeping, you will need to research the rich history included in this genre. Check out and know the following drummers (to name only but a few):
- Clyde Stubblefield
- Bernard Purdie
- James Gadson
- Al Jackson Jr.
- Harvey Mason
- Mike Clark
- Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste
- Dennis Chambers
- Steve Jordan
Even though your focus will be serving the music with solid grooves and a great feel, you can still be imaginative and innovative with your playing as well. One need not look further than long time Tower of Power drummer David Garibaldi, one of the most innovative and influential drummers in the history of this genre.

4. Jazz Drummer
I've purposely waited to talk about Jazz Drumming until this point, as quite frankly, it could be a whole article unto itself with many subtopics that deserve equal attention. The history of the modern drum set itself is intrinsically intertwined with the history of jazz spanning well over 100 years.
Like all the other genres mentioned so far, to be a great jazz drummer will require tremendous dedication and practice. Although there are exceptions, you will need to obtain a strong foundation of the following to serve the music properly.
- rudiments
- reading
- timekeeping
- a steady ride cymbal beat and phrasing
- brushes
- improvisation and soloing
- the ability to listen and play with others
- general knowledge of "Latin' rhythms (bossa, samba, cascara, mambo, rhumba, bembe, etc.)
These are all essential to being a great Jazz Drummer.
One person's taste in jazz could be that of "Big Band Swing" famous in 1940's America while someone else's could be "Bossa Nova" derived from Brazil and popular in the early 1960s and yet another likes Jazz Fusion from the 1980s. The stylistic umbrella covering what is called "Jazz Music" is quite vast and diverse.
Of course, you can focus on any one specific style of Jazz Drumming, but in doing so, you should have at least a general knowledge of the music's history starting with a few of the early innovators:
- Baby Dodds
- Gene Krupa
- Chick Webb
- Buddy Rich
- "Papa" Jo Jones
- Dave Tough
- Kenny Clarke
- Sonny Payne
Other pioneers who also shaped Jazz Drumming (and influenced several different genres of drumming as well):
- Max Roach
- Art Blakey
- Roy Haynes
- "Philly" Joe Jones
- Jimmy Cobb
- Elvin Jones
- Tony Williams
- Jack DeJohnette
- Billy Cobham
- Steve Gadd
- Dave Weckl
Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich:
Private Teachers and Mentors for Jazz
With a style like jazz, it might be important to mention the importance of a role that a Private teacher or mentor might have in helping to shape into the drummer stylistically you'd like to become. Even if you are already a skilled drummer in one or various styles, it's vital to search out and learn from players that have a vast amount of skill and experience in the style you'd like to pursue OR better yet….
Learn from an expert in a style that is different from the one you spend the most time working in and performing. This will only add depth to your skills and overall musicianship.
It's not uncommon to find that a killer Metal Drummer spent years studying jazz and that a great funk drummer has also studied Latin music and Reggae extensively.
Also, many accomplished players in all styles of drumming have also spent considerable honing skills outside of percussion such as
- music theory and ear training
- composition and arranging
- study of piano, guitar, and voice
To make an analogy, this would be much similar to "cross-training" for runners and elite athletes. The benefits of doing different exercises and strength training have proven to be extremely beneficial to athletes boosting their performance and overall wellness.
"Musical Cross Training" may, in fact, be the most significant thing you could do to not only help your playing but help to discover the music and style you'd like to pursue.
5. The "Versatile" Drummer
Have we gotten this far and still not sure which type of drummer we are? Do we like some aspects of marching or metal drumming, but also love the musicality and creativity of jazz? No problem! In fact, GREAT.
Chances are, the majority of us will need to be versed in MORE than one aspect of drumming to play professionally, and to do so you will need to have mastery over various skill sets. Yes, this will require discipline and work, but you can keep from getting overwhelmed by following a couple of simple rules.
- Serve the music and each idiom to its fullest. Do your research, listen, and play with those who have experience and expertise in those various styles.
- Understanding the appropriate rhythms and grooves as they relate to each style. Is it triplet based like swing or shuffle? Straight 8th based? Or does the music follow a specific clave (rhythmic key found in many Latin and African based music)
- Divide your practice time evenly by 4-5 types of exercise in various styles to maintain an overall skill set that will enhance your versatility. This will require discipline and daily upkeep to see overall results.
Yes, there are no shortcuts to becoming a versatile musician. "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" is not anything you should aspire to be or anyone you should aspire to play with.
Think of some of the most versatile drummers in history, such as Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, and Steve Jordan. They have complete mastery in all the various genres they play, yet they maintain their originality- it always sounds like them.
Steve Jordan, in particular, is an excellent example. He can play Jazz with Sonny Rollins, Rock and Roll with Keith Richards' and Big Arena Pop with John Mayer all within the same week.
Here is a great example of Steve demonstrating the origins of Rock and Roll Drumming. His respect for the history and importance of serving the music is evident. Not to mention his feel:
In Conclusion
Hopefully, by looking at these five isolated examples, you have a better idea of where you might fit as a drummer. Again, there are many other styles not mentioned that you may interest you as well.
If you are still not sure, that is completely OK! Immerse yourself in the fun of gaining the skills to play various types of styles on the drums. Listen and check out as much different music as you can, play with others, and through hard work and practice, the music we are meant to serve will present itself to YOU.
That is the beauty of what we do and what will make you GREAT!

The New York Times was forced to admit what has been obvious for a while: Minority communities don't support progressives' radical views on criminal justice.
Democrats' most left-wing supporters claim their calls to "defund the police" will help minority communities, but those communities know the truth.
From the Times:
In a contest that centered on crime and public safety, Eric Adams, who emerged as the leading Democrat, focused much of his message on denouncing progressive slogans and policies that he said threatened the lives of "Black and brown babies" and were being pushed by "a lot of young, white, affluent people." A retired police captain and Brooklyn's borough president, he rejected calls to defund the Police Department and pledged to expand its reach in the city.
Black and brown voters in Brooklyn and the Bronx flocked to his candidacy, awarding Mr. Adams with sizable leading margins in neighborhoods from Eastchester to East New York. Though the official winner may not be known for weeks because of the city's new ranked-choice voting system, Mr. Adams holds a commanding edge in the race that will be difficult for his rivals to overcome.
As the Times admitted, the evidence provided by Adams' support in New York shows "a disconnect between progressive activists and the rank-and-file Black and Latino voters who they say have the most to gain from their agenda."
Liberal elites may claim their policies – focused on so-called racial justice and combatting alleged white supremacy – will benefit minority voters, but those voters don't see it that way.
"Black people talk about politics in more practical and everyday terms," Hakeem Jefferson, an assistant professor of political science at Stanford University, told the Times. "What makes more sense for people who are often distrustful of broad political claims is something that's more in the middle."
"The median Black voter is not A.O.C. and is actually closer to Eric Adams," he added, referencing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
This has been an emerging problem for Democrats in recent years who tend to believe that since they receive the majority of nonwhite votes in elections, their policies are all popular with minority voters. The trend shows otherwise.
Despite a massive Democrat and media campaign to claim former President Donald Trump was a racist, he actually increased the Republican share of black and Latino voters in 2016 and 2020, making larger gains with those voters than non-college-educated white voters.
"On issues beyond criminal justice, data indicates that Black and Latino voters are less likely to identify as liberal than white voters. An analysis by Gallup found that the share of white Democrats who identify as liberal had risen by 20 percentage points since the early 2000s. Over the same period, the polling firm found a nine-point rise in liberal identification among Latino Democrats and an eight-point increase among Black Democrats," the Times reported.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, this has been a problem for Democrats, who seem to assume Latinos will vote for them and that talking about illegal immigration with a legal immigrant population is a winning strategy.

Dai Young has revealed he can seek special dispensation from England to give Elliot Daly his mandatory rest after Wasps' next three Premiership games.
Daly started all four of England's November matches, with players who appear in 80 per cent of every game entitled to a mandatory rest in one of their side's next three Premiership outings.
The utility back is one of just five players who meet this criteria, although director of rugby Young believes he can strike a deal with England head coach Eddie Jones that would see Wasps be given special dispensation to feature Daly in their top-flight fixtures.
"They have to play 80 per cent of every game in the Autumn Internationals to need a rest," he said, "if they miss one game you don't have to rest them.
"You can either agree with Eddie as to when you do it or you can rest them in one of the three Premiership games.
WATCH: Below Dai Young speaks to BBC CWR's Clive Eakin about positives in defeat
"Some of the teams in the Challenge Cup will probably want to rest them in that period, we'll discuss with Eddie when the best time to rest them is.
"So, we can either rest Elliot in this block of three or in the European games we have coming up.
"We try to give players a rest anyway, it makes sense. But even if we didn't want to give Elliot a rest we would have to because he's reached the criteria."
Young also praised the flexibilty of England coaches past and present in allowing clubs to alter the scheduled rest weeks of internationals.
And this is something that has continued during the reign of former Saracens boss Jones.
What is Elliot Daly's best position?
"In fairness to all the England camps I've been involved with, they're pretty flexible on it," he added.
"They know that some teams have injury problems and different teams have different agendas.
"As long as you can demonstrate that you're going to give him a week off at some point they are pretty flexible. It's a rugby decision between myself and Eddie.
"If we can't agree then we have to do it in one of the next three games, it's in black and white. But I've never come across a situation where there hasn't been flexibility on both sides.
"You don't know who will be fit when, so you have to do it at the right time. As long as that's communicated to Eddie, but he's been where we are, he understands there has to be a bit of flexibility."
While Daly is due a mandatory rest before the Six Nations, there is no such agreement with South Africa over full-back Willie le Roux.
But Young believes there will be ample opportunity over the Six Nations for all his first-team players to have a break from action.
"No there isn't an agreement, but if you look at Willie he wouldn't qualify because he didn't play in the South Africa game outside the international window," he said.
"He also had two bye weeks in the Rugby Championship which he didn't come back to us for. But if you think he's going to play from now until May that's unrealistic, it's not going to happen.
Minutes played in the Premiership for Wasps by Elliot Daly and Willie le Roux
Elliot Daly: 512 minutes played
Willie le Roux: 160 minutes played
"The thing with Willie, when the Six Nations happens, we have no game, so he could have his rest in that period, because it's just Premiership Cup and we won't get into the semi-finals.
"We just have the last Premiership Cup group game, the semi-final and a free week, so in effect we have three weeks there where we can rest those with high minutes.
"So it's less of a concern with the non-English players, while Elliot will be away with the Six Nations so unless he is rested he won't get a rest."

Bob's Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour
Bob's Red Mill Superfine Almond Flour 453g
Made from almonds that have been blanched to remove the skins, then ground to a fine texture that is great for baking.
Almonds are notoriously healthy nuts providing a good amount of manganese and vitamin E , as well as a healthy serving of monounsaturated fats in each 1/4 cup serving. Not only do almonds have a healthy boost of protein, they are also very low in carbohydrates and inherently gluten free.
Eating whole almonds is terrific, but did you know that adding almond flour to your baking and cooking can bring the health benefits of almonds to your diet, as well as cutting back on carbohydrate consumption? Replacing 25% of regular all-purpose flour in your baking with almond meal flour will add wonderful texture and flavor while reducing the total carbohydrates. This makes it perfect for those following a low carbohydrate or paleo diet. There are so many health reasons to buy almond flour!
Almond flour meal is produced in our gluten free facility, making it an ideal addition to a gluten free diet. In addition to low carbohydrate baking, almond flour is wonderful for use in French macarons and financiers, pie crusts, cakes, cookies, pancakes and quick breads. Almond flour can be used in savory applications, as well. Use almond flour in place of bread crumbs in meatballs, or as a coating for chicken and fish. Find recipes for using almond flour under the recipe tab below. Almond flour is best kept refrigerated or frozen.
- Gluten Free
- Vegan
- Vegetarian
- Paleo Friendly
- Kosher Pareve
- Manufactured in a dedicated gluten free facility; R5-ELISA tested gluten free
- Excellent source of Vitamin E and magnesium
- Good source of dietary fiber
- Super-fine grind

I have been having my eyebrows and Shellac nails done by Crystal for some time now. She is absolutely brilliant, so happy with tbe outcome every single time. Highly recommended.

Toronto has had enough with Bell internet and wireless after latest outage
Toronto has had enough with Bell services after a huge outage over the weekend affected Bell customers across Ontario.
The outage on Saturday morning affected cellular service, including Bell Mobility and other providers like Telus, Koodoo, and Virgin which all use the Bell infrastructure. Bell Internet and Bell Fibe TV were also affected.
Some @Bell wireless, Internet and TV customers in the GTA may be experiencing service disruptions. We are working as quickly as possible to restore full services.— Media Relations (@Bell_News) November 9, 2019
While it is not clear how many Bell customers were affected by the outage, many people took to social media to share their outrage with the service provider.
A lot of the complaints stemmed from a lack of communication on the Bell's part about the outage.
Hey assholes. How about you let people know that when they log in to your website or call customer service. Instead you make me jump through all these hoops to reconnect and then wait on hold for an hour and a half. All it would take is a simple automated message.— Sampson (@sampson028) November 9, 2019
Two hours after Bell confirmed the outage on Twitter, the service provider posted that the issue had been fixed and the cause of the outage was being investigated.
Most @Bell wireless, TV and Internet services have been restored in the GTA. Our team continues to investigate the cause of service disruptions earlier this morning. We apologize for the inconvenience.— Media Relations (@Bell_News) November 9, 2019
But users of the service were not convinced.
Bell's technical support team confirmed that this tweet is completely inaccurate. They have said most areas will not be restored for several hours @Bell_News— кαвιтн м (@_kabithM) November 9, 2019
Even after the service provider said that the issue was resolved on Twitter, many people were still without service throughout the GTA.
Most customers must not include us in Whitby. Still out here. Good thing @Bell owns the news networks as well or this might hurt their reputation. 😂— Rob Bennett (@RobBenn12883234) November 10, 2019
Customer reports from Mississauga, Whitby, Oshawa, Scarborough and some neighbourhoods in Toronto proper contested that service was restored at all.
This is incorrect! Mississauga is still out! It's now over 24 hours.— Melle Femme (@MelFernando2) November 10, 2019
It looks like this outage may have been the final straw for some Bell customers. Many people responded to the service provider seeking compensation in order to keep their business.
This is about 3 hours too late, no one can get through to support. No reall answers or acceptance until 3 hours after disruption. I hope there will be some compensation to ensure we stay with you. No apps tv or internet for half a day with 0 communication not good— scott a (@sadelfando) November 9, 2019
Bell has yet to release anymore information about what caused the outage.

Bedding "L" - Boho Coco
Bedding for the little one is made of the best quality cotton and has all the necessary certificates. The set includes a soft duvet and a pillow with a lightweight filling of anti-allergic polyester fibre, ensuring the right temperature, access to oxygen and moisture removal resulting in excellent sleeping conditions. To make your dreams even more colourful, you can additionally choose a bed sheet and decorative pillows or cuddly toys. Such a colourful set will beautifully decorate every child's room and will work well as a set for the nursery!
We promote the fashion for "ready to use" bedding, i.e. with a sewn-in filling. Nowadays, buying pillows and duvets and pillow and duvet covers separately is the most popular way of purchasing bedding. We want to change this and encourage you to wash the whole set, not just the pillow or duvet cover each time, thus giving you 100% cleanliness, which is extremely important in the case of allergy sufferers. La Millou bedding can be washed in the washing machine without any loss of quality.
The product should be used under parental supervision.
duvet: 100 x 135
pillow: 40 x 60

This all depends on the time of the month!
Just as a disclaimer, I am not a health professional, nutritionist, or biologist. This is only from reading many, many books on the subject and human experience. I personally have noticed this and carefully observed it in my life for years only to relay the information to you. If experts want to chime in, I'm more than happy to have your input in the comments below!
I don't know what you consider to be a handbag essential or what you keep in your purse. It's frankly none of my business.
But if you are in the stages of getting intimate with someone, and you guys are spontaneous – I know you adventurous types, I was you! – keep lube in your purse.
This isn't just to keep things sexy and smooth, but your partner will thank you for it. It's so hard to be slick about it sometimes. No pun intended.

Also, if they ask you why you have lube (implying you must sleep around a lot if you're newly dating), simply answer the short version with something along the lines of, "I wanted to thrill you today." As if you were planning for sex to happen. It's just light, fun, sexy, and colorful. Like you!
However, if you're close with the person, and understand each other on a deeper level (as in you can read each other's thoughts because you've been together for a while), you can tell them this:
You're currently in one of your phases of the month where your body doesn't produce much natural lube. This means mucus or discharge. And these are called "dry days". This could be 3-4 days into your follicular phase, luteal phase, or even menstrual phase. Surprisingly enough.
Follicular Phase – The phase right after your period that last about 5-6 days. It's when you're feeling the lightest, refreshed from a new start after your period.
Luteal Phase – 2 weeks before your period, has 2 parts. The first week is lighter and needs more foreplay to get turned on. It's a romantic phase. The second week is when you want to focus on hardcore work and get really down to business and super big projects with intense tasks to focus on.
Menstrual – When you're bleeding and uterus is doing its job, releasing an egg, and cleaning itself, and getting organized for fertility.
If I mentioned anything incorrectly – these are just very basic, broad details – please leave your expertise in the comments below! I'd love for your input! This is a safe space.
So if there are days when you see just straight up like you blew your nose into your underwear, that's totally normal. You're healthy. If it's too much on the regular, you might have a yeast infection or something. So just go easy on the sugar, carbs, alcohol, and wash yourself daily.
Oh, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in your herbal tea or with a glass of water. It needs to be diluted or you'll get a headache and feel nauseous, because it's so strong. Yeast HATES apple cider vinegar.
But don't douche. Use a very gentle cleanser when washing on the outside-ish area (aka your vulva). Your vagina will clean itself. And usually if you have a period it flushes it out. And take some probiotics to support that if you can. I have some really good ones linked below you can choose from that work for me personally when I'm dealing with such things. You're normal, you're healthy, and I love you.
This should be more mainstream info, because feminine energy and female cycles aren't even on regular calendars. And if more women knew this, they'd tell their daughters and sons about it, and the world would be more accepting and run more smoothly. Hopefully, it would be a more understanding world. But a lot of women just don't know, so they're not teaching it, and the daughters have to figure it out the hard way. Sometimes by destroying relationships, having a hard time at school or work.
Women weren't allowed to be fully tested on, because those tests took too long for results and it's too expensive to wait a whole month to figure out if some medications or whatever it may be would work for them. So a lot of things are tested on males and menopausal women who have male cycles and schedules, basically.
They only started properly testing on women of fertile ages IN THE 80'S. It blows my mind. People still remember the 80s when people have been existing for multiple millennia. That's science for you. Very inclusive to the half of the population who has been living on this earth, feeding and raising your fucking children.
Any experts, leave a comment below if you have any input or questions. You're more than welcome to.
I know everybody's cycle looks different. It's absolutely individual and case by case, because mine looks different from yours. I remember I dated a guy a thousand years ago who wanted to keep tabs of my period, because he was my long time partner and only wanted to be intimate when I was free of the red river. Which is totally fine. 🙂
He would say, "Every 28 days I have to remember your bitch Aunt Flow is in town." Lol. At the time I didn't know. And my cycle varies from 30-35 days if I'm consistent with maintaining a healthy system through each phase of the cycle. 35 days is the line where it could be unhealthy. My cycle is just within the line.
This is dictated by my sleep, eating enough nutrients and enough at all (because I used to be severely anorexic), hydration, and exercise.
I hope this helps you understand your body and where your mind is during certain times of the month. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. As I love hearing from you!

Vijay M. Thadani, MD, PhD
Dr. Thadani is Professor of Neurology, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. He reports no conflict of interest.
As Neurology Reviews celebrates its 25th anniversary, we take this opportunity to look back and to look ahead in the area of epilepsy care and research. Epilepsy is a disease whose earliest descriptions date back to Egypt and Mesopotamia 3,000 years ago. A modern understanding of epilepsy as an electrical disorder of the brain dates back perhaps 150 years. The last 25 years have seen considerable progress in diagnosis and treatment, but in the Western world, the prevalence of epilepsy has held steady at around 1%, and a quarter of those patients have seizures that are not controlled, in spite of appropriate therapy.
While generalized and focal seizures remain the cornerstones of classification, the most recent theoretical advance is the network concept of epilepsy. By definition, a network must have nodes and connections. In generalized forms of epilepsy, these are recognized to be diffuse groupings of neurons and the fiber tracts that connect them. They are widely distributed and conducive to the rapid and bilateral spread of electrical abnormalities throughout the brain. In focal epilepsies, the abnormal electrical activity in the network is more constrained by traditional anatomic landmarks, but this does not preclude the possibility of secondary generalization. The elucidation of such networks by intracranial EEG and fMRI studies is a major triumph of the last 25 years.
