Disraeli or Two Lives: Book Review
Benjamin Disraeli was one of the most extraordinary and indeed one of the most unlikely individuals to have ever become leader of the Conservative Party and British Prime Minister. Disraeli was a school dropout, a bankrupt, manic depressant in his early twenties, regarded as a cad, and throughout his life his Jewish antecedence was assailed by anti-Semites in Victorian society where bigotry against Jews was seen as fair game. So how did he do it? Put simply, it was Disraeli's sheer charisma, wit, big personality, and ability to deliver great speeches which made Parliament popular. Perhaps above all it was, the courage of an outsider who believed himself to be deserving of a remarkable political career that propelled him to the top of the 'greasy pole.'
Former British Foreign Secretary, Douglas Hurd, and British Prime Minister David Cameron's former speech writer Edward Young vividly bring to life Disraeli's persona in their book Disraeli or Two Lives. One of the most interesting chapters in the book deals with Disraeli's relationship with the faith he was born into, namely Judaism. Disraeli's father Isaac had him baptized at the age of 12 due to a falling out he had with the elders of the Bevis Marks synagogue in London.
Nevertheless, Disraeli's Jewish origins were for him a matter of great personal pride throughout his career. They even became an aggressive defense mechanism against the ant-Semitism he endured. In a debate on Jewish emancipation in the House of Commons, Disraeli exclaimed: "Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism."
Hurd and Young point out that Disraeli supported Jewish emancipation in opposition to many in his own Party and it was Lord Derby's minority Conservative Government with Disraeli at its heart as Chancellor of the Exchequer that passed the Jews Relief Act in 1858 which ended the exclusion of Jews becoming Members of Parliament, allowing Lionel De Rothschild to take up his seat in the House of Commons at his 11th attempt in 1858. And, as is so befitting of an individual with the name Disraeli, he was a Zionist even before the term was coined. In his diaries Edward Stanley,15th Earl of Derby recorded a detailed discussion he had in 1851 with Disraeli in which Disraeli expounded on the advantages of creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine by buying up land from Turkey. Money would be forthcoming from the Rothschild family and other leading Hebrew capitalists. According to Stanley, Disraeli concluded that a "man who could carry this out would truly be hailed as the next Messiah," but contrary, to the accusations made by his arch rival Gladstone. Disraeli was no 'crypto Jew' and took Anglican Communion regularly throughout his life.
Disraeli, as leader of the Conservative Party, was just slightly more successful electorally than Shimon Peres; winning only one out of three elections he contested as leader. Nevertheless, as Chancellor of the Exchequer he was a prime mover of the Reform Act of 1867 which saw the British electorate doubled from 1.3 million to 2.5 million. Furthermore, the government he led from 1874 to 1880 introduced such important legislation as giving powers to local authorities to replace slums with adequate housing and to maintain sewers and ensure a fresh supply of water. Street lighting and rubbish collections were also introduced, an Education Act and two Factory Acts which began to improve working conditions and which according to Lord Blake makes the measures passed by the Disraeli government as constituting the biggest installment of social reform passed by any government in the 19th century. Disraeli was able to exclaim that the legislation "will retain for the Conservatives the lasting affection of the working classes."
The book has wonderful anecdotes especially to do with Disraeli's colourful private life. At the age of 36 he owed in today's terms 2 million pounds and he had to become an MP, as this would give him immunity from arrest. Disraeli also courted older women and indeed married Mary Ann Lewis, the widow of a Tory MP, who was, 12 years his senior. He married her for money to help him pay off his debts. "I may commit many follies in life, but I never intend to marry for love which I am sure is a guarantee of infidelity." He later recanted and admitted that he had fallen in love with Mary Ann and had he married her again it would have been for love. There is also the story of Mrs. Williams a widower who left Disraeli a fortune on her death provided she be allowed to be buried next to him. Indeed, she can be found buried next to Disraeli in the churchyard on his country estate, Hughenden Manor.
Disraeli's lasting legacy is the power of his word that even 133 years after his death British politicians like to quote him or misquote him. As one contemporary observed: "I never listened to a speech of yours without thinking, this word, this sentence will be remembered a hundred years hence." He made politics interesting, colourful and engaging and that is why Disraeli is one of those few British politicians whose life story has been chronicled by Hollywood.

What the End of the Stock Market Rally might mean for Precious Metals
Global equity markets have been on a tear in recent years, with the benchmark U.S. SP 500 index having made solid triple digit returns over the span of the last several years. Markets have been climbing since the 2009 lows, and continue to make new all-time highs.
This run higher in the equity markets as well as current valuation levels obviously begs a few questions:
-Will the rally continue?
-Are stocks overpriced at current levels?
-Is this a set up for a nasty correction?
-What has driven such significant upside?
We feel it is important to address some of these questions, as we believe the day will come when equity investors once again run for the exits. In turn, we believe that gold and precious metals could stand to benefit handsomely if and when this does in fact occur.read more
Do Other Markets Affect Gold?
Gold prices are a result of current supply and demand. The gold market is in a constant state of flux as price discovery takes place. That being said, there are a number of outside markets that can affect the price of gold. Here we will discuss some of these key outside markets:read more

MEET the British cheerleader who became so obsessed with being skinny she starved herself by feeding her meals to her dog so that her family wouldn't notice and has since recovered from her body dysmorphia by gaining an impressive three-stone two pounds in three-years.
Winchester university student, Emilia House (20), from Surrey, UK, has always been brought up in an active environment.
Her obsession with being skinny led her to abstain from eating, especially in front of other people, consuming at most 600 calories a day, and working hard on cardio exercising which resulted in her lowest weight of 6st 4Ibs, unable to fit into the smallest size of clothes.
Her obsession mixed with anxiety caused her to receive some comments that upset her mother and after her nan discovered that her biggest problem was being watched, she began to turn her head away from her while she ate, making it more comfortable for her.
Her revelation led her to eat little but often, consuming 2,600 calories a day, while incorporating weight lifting to her exercise routine, helping her reach a healthy and curvy 9st 6Ibs and a UK size eight to 10.
"Some days I didn't eat at all as I would feed my food that my parents cooked me to my dog to get away with it or throw it in the bin when everyone had left the table to leave me eat," Emilia said.
"I was scared of people looking at me while I ate, as it made me seriously uncomfortable and nervous.
"The worst thing was if someone sat with me and tried to force me to eat because they were worried about me.
"If I were to eat, it would be when I was home alone or if it was obvious someone wasn't watching me. I had severe acne during this time too which, I think, was why my anxiety was so bad when people looked at me, let alone when I was eating.
"I didn't like looking at myself in the mirror but when I did, I would obsess over how to look skinnier. I would think I looked the same as everyone, which is why it annoyed me so much when people told me I was skinny.
"I didn't really decide to make this change, I just recognised the problem and was then able to eat little and often until I was up to the calories my body needed in order to function each day.
"My nan realised that the big issue was people watching me eat, so when I used to go to her house, she would cook me lots of food and then turn her back to me and watched the TV while I ate.
"I would then eat as I was in a comfortable environment without anyone watching me. I started eating little and often because then I didn't feel sick or too bloated.
"This is still how I eat to this day and it's better for your digestive system. The huge weight jump came from realising that spending forty-five minutes sprinting on the treadmill was not good for me and was doing damage to my body.
"When I was up to a healthy weight, I used weight lifting to further increase my weight up to a weight I can now maintain.
"Possible social media influences made me want to achieve my current physique. I'm always improving every day.
"I feel more confident with people in general now; I feel independent and strong. I feel positive about everything.
"I still have anxiety, but I now have a good mindset where I can eat what I want and when I want. I keep track and go to the gym as part of my routine.
"I feel closer to my family as I understand all they want for me is the best. I love my life now."
The process of changing her perception was difficult for Emilia, particularly concerning everyone else in her life.
"My stress and anxiety for what everyone thought about me was the hardest part of this process," she said.
"I felt like a burden to everyone, especially my parents for having to worry about me and causing arguments for not eating.
"People say I'm an inspiration to many of them and that I prove that it can be done. I think my parents are surprised that I now love food to be honest, as I always hated it.
"They are more relieved if anything as I think it caused them a lot of stress having to worry about whether I was going to eat or not that day.
"If you feel like you can't control these feelings and are seriously underweight or overweight, please get help and do not be ashamed of doing so. Luckily, I was able to turn it around before it became really serious."

One of the most exciting parts of being an Artistic Director Assistant at The O'Neill is that I get to work on three different types of theater works. For the past month, I have been in rehearsals for the National Music Theater Conference (NMTC). Three new musicals have been read, re-written, and re-written again during that time: Slaughterhouse Five by Jed Feuer and Adele Ahronheim, We Live in Cairo by Daneil and Patrick Lazour, and ZM (Zombie Musical) by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis.
The pieces, although wildly different from one another, completely changed how I think about the structure of musicals. While I used to view many musical theater conventions as convenient, tired traditions, I have come to realize their importance. For example, something that came up throughout the conference was the use of musical buttons on the end of songs. A button is the musical phrase that marks a definitive ending to the song. This is the moment where the actors freeze and the audience claps. Before coming to The O'Neill, this moment felt self-indulgent to me, but I now realize just how important it is. It tells the audience that the moment is over, that the plot is advancing, and gives them a moment to digest everything they just heard and saw before moving on. If this momentary break doesn't happen, the audience grows restless.
While working with artistic director Paulette Haupt, I have also learned about the administrative side of theater and the process of choosing, funding, and building new works. I had the opportunity to listen in on confidential mentor meetings where professionals gave writers their thoughts and advice on their musical. I began to understand how musicals get on their feet and where they go after The O'Neill. I learned about how artistic staffs work together to create new material. Although I have had many hands-on opportunities to act, write, direct, etc. at Brandeis, the development process was unfamiliar to me. Working with a team of professionals on a new play is a balancing act and a lot of hard work. Working on staged readings is a huge job opportunity for young theater artists, and this experience certainly gives me the preparation I need to work collaboratively in a professional environment.
Over these four weeks I have met and worked with new and established artists alike. I have been able to speak with and observe some of the most accomplished music theater artists in the country. Luckily, I feel incredibly welcomed not only by The O'Neill, but the theater community at large. The environment here is giving me a good sense of how to network and thrive in "The Real World." I've learned new tactics and techniques for making theater that I will carry with me through my final year at Brandeis and beyond. During my last month at The O'Neill, I will be reading stage directions for one of the National Playwrights Conference pieces, Nomad Motel by Carla Ching, and working with Artistic Director John McDaniel on the Cabaret Conference.

Heading Back to School...
How is this back to school thing supposed to work when each state, county and region are all doing different things??? This is insanity! Whether you agree with how your school is planning the fall return to school or not, let's agree that education is in a precarious spot right now. And I KNOW we all agree that parents are NOT teachers and we need to let the professionals do their thing!
The kids that just graduated missed out on their senior year festivities and now many are missing out on their first real college experience. It's just so sad and depressing. Although my boys weren't seniors this past school year, they were hit hard just the same. Everyone was and is and will be for a while.
Perspective is everything though and we need to focus on what is important in the larger scheme of things. Health, safety, education, family, social interaction, these are all important but nuanced based on many factors. Even a dip in the normal routine can be a huge impact on a family. No one is 'immune' (pun intended) to this.
So, what happens now? We try to make the best decisions we can. We pivot. We adjust. We take precautions. We care. We care about each other.
South Africa - The Cost of Education
Even in the best of circumstances (pre-pandemic), South African kids have had a lot more uncertainty to deal with on the daily. School fees are expensive - and yes, you must pay for your kids education K - 12 and beyond. There are too may kids that drop out after grade 9 because families can't afford it. School uniforms are expensive and, as we know, kids grow --- fast! Hand-me-downs from siblings, cousins, friends, anyone and everyone, is key.
Ok, that is a barrier for sure. The inequality gap in education is a wide one in South Africa. Public school education is meh at best and teaching standards are not a thing so it could be that your kid's teacher, isn't actually, a teacher per se. Seriously, that's true. Now I'm not a teacher and homeschooling is definitely NOT for me, but would I want to send my kids to a school where the teachers aren't even educated or prepared to teach? Let me clarify, the black schools tend to be substandard while the white schools are not.
Education in America is guaranteed from Kindergarten through grade 12. Every child has the right to an education which is essentially paid for by local, state and federal funds (which includes our taxes, I know, I get it).
Schools Are Unsafe in South Africa
Can you believe that school bathrooms are unsafe in South Africa? Girls are often abused or raped there and many children fall into the pit toilets to a gruesome end. I couldn't even imagine what their mothers worry about each day when their kids go off to school. There can also be crime occurring on school grounds. It's completely unfair and unjust that getting an education can be a dangerous exercise.
Want to hear more? Or do you need to let this sink in for a minute?
Perspective: Put Yourself in Others' Shoes
Talking about Black Lives Matter, Police brutality, inequality and white privilege in America is at a boiling point at the moment. Perhaps a potential silver lining to this catastrophic pandemic is that these issues are entering our collective dialogue in a real way. The ugly truth is out in the open. Life is about your perspective and no two people have the exact same viewpoint.
We must be thankful for what we have and always strive to get better. We must teach our kids to be grateful for what they have and to always strive to be good citizens. We must allow ourselves to be mindful of what is happening in our country, in our schools in our collective world and be focused on success in the endgame and not fight over who is right and who is wrong.
Living in different states in the US and abroad I have witnessed struggle and experienced struggle and I know that with support, education and collaboration we can make this world a better place for the next generation.
Let's Lift Each Other UP!
Keep learning, supporting, promoting, celebrating each other and accept other's perspectives without scolding or judging.
Back to school, back to work, back to life. Let's hold on to our strengths and fix injustices that we see around us. Let's educate our kids and ourselves. And for crying out loud - pay our teachers what they are worth!
In humble gratitude,
Deana, Founder Bosisi Designs

Two 17-year old students seem to be the youngest Bitcoin entrepreneurs.
Two High School Seniors feel that Bitcoin can be better in some areas and have come up with a solution for the digital currency that they have released to the public. And this is not even their first Bitcoin business attempt.
At the recent Demo Conference in San Jose, California, an annual meet-up/competition held since 1991 for tech start-ups, Brendan Duhamel and Jamie Young have released an innovative plan in regards to Bitcoin payments, escrow, and product acquirement.
The name of their creation is Pavilion.io and it provides a doubtful exchange for online shopping sites like eBay, when they accept Bitcoin for payment one day.
The product allows people to buy goods and services with Bitcoin and have the payment made once the purchased item is delivered.
Since Bitcoin does not have FDIC for financial services or exchanges, and no general oversight for purchases, many companies would prefer an automated way to protect customers.
Bitcoin is designed to be purely a peer-to-peer transaction, not requiring a third-party to legislate each transaction while compromising the security of the users' accounts.
"Pavilion.io has the potential to be a game-changer," said Erick Schonfeld, executive producer of the conference.
Duhamel and Young were the youngest entrepreneurs going onstage at this year's conference, which made them the center of attention for attendees, investors and other founders.
This is their second startup. "Last year we ran a hedge fund," Young said. "The amount we were investing was only in five figures and it was mostly friends and family that were investing in it, so we got bored," said Duhamel.
A trip to New York has changed everything for Duhamel and Young: a visit to the Bitcoin Center convinced the teens to switch their focus to the virtual currency.
"We realized that bitcoin is what all the cool people in finance in New York are interested in today," Duhamel noted.
While participating in the Demo Conference, the young partners were also hoping to get some time with people like super-investor Peter Thiel.
He once famously said it is a waste of time for the most talented young founders and entrepreneurs to look for a college degree instead of pursuing their business ideas. "I would really rather do this than go to college," Young said.
Duhamel and Young have already raised $25,000 in seed funding from Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale and they plan to move to Silicon Valley in January after they finish accelerated studies in their high school.

Mumbai, June 3 (IANS) Former India skipper Krishnamachari Srikkanth is set to show his dancing skills in the sixth season of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa". The cricketer will make his entry soon on the dance reality show.
"Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" and sports are closely connected and the cricketer is taking this relationship forward.
"I am completely zero when it comes to dancing. What is dance? It is just when you are in a good mood, you just start jiving to a rhythm… you start moving and your body starts shaking. That is what it is," he told IANS.
He is expected to make his appearance this weekend.
So far quite a few sportsmen have taken to the "Jhalak…" stage.
In the first season, cricketer Ajay Jadeja grooved on the stage, followed by hockey player and coach Mir Ranjan Negi in the second season.
Senior cricketer Mohinder Amarnath shook a leg in the third season, and footballer Baichung Bhutia won the third season.
Boxer Akhil Kumar was part of the fourth season, while Sri Lankan cricket skipper Sanath Jayasuriya was seen in the last season of the show.

From large organizations like the Oregon Symphony to painters who sell their wares at Saturday Market, the Portland arts community is reeling from the global coronavirus pandemic.
Shows are canceled. Galleries are closed. Classes are called off. And income is lost.
Emergency relief fund for artists
But a new crowdfunding campaign is providing hope for local artists and a way for supporters to take action. Portland's Creative Laureate, Subashini "Suba" Ganesan, and Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford have teamed up to launch an emergency relief fund for independent and freelance artists in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties.
In less than 48 hours, their campaign had already raised more than $65,000 and attracted applications from 250 local artists who are seeking assistance. The first batch of grants will be awarded next week – and the program will continue as long as artists need support.
"There is no safety net," Ganesan said. "Every sector of the arts community, just like every sector of every community in our country and the world, has been affected."
Appointed by the Portland arts commissioner, the city's creative laureate serves as an ambassador to the arts community. Ganesan has attended hundreds of community events and been an outspoken advocate since accepting the position two years ago, while continuing to run her own nonprofit: New Expressive Works, which supports independent multicultural artists.
Ganesan says the idea for the crowdfunding campaign took root last month, when she watched a video rallying the arts community to respond to COVID-19 in Singapore, where she grew up. "That was my first spark of, 'Uh oh.' Then when it started hitting home, I saw, 'This is just going down.' I started calling people and emailing people."
One of those people was Stafford, who serves as Oregon's poet laureate. The two had often talked about collaborating, but they never found the perfect project. Until now.
"The beauty of our positions is, this is a role we can play," Ganesan said. "We have a certain freedom that allows us to act on behalf of civic needs, through the artistic lens."
They decided to focus on independent artists, who are struggling to cover basic bills and meet health care needs due to lost income. Over the past week, dozens of people came together to create the campaign and provide seed donations before the official launch on Wednesday. Supporters span the local arts community, including Dance Wire, the Independent Publishing Resource Center, the Portland Art Museum, Shaking the Tree Theatre and the Regional Arts & Culture Council, the City's primary nonprofit arts partner.
Helping develop the campaign was an easy decision, says Chris Ayzoukian, general manager of the new Patricia Reser Center for the Arts in Beaverton, which is under construction. He helped generate ideas and enthusiasm for the relief fund, as well as securing a donation from his organization's fundraising arm, the Beaverton Arts Foundation.
"I'm hoping we, as an arts community, can weather the storm through coordinated efforts to advocate," Ayzoukian said. "It's our job to relay just how bad It is. To do that, we're going to have to band together across disciplines and across organizations."
Supporting the arts community will be critical as Portland rebounds from COVID-19, says Giyen Kim, who oversees the City Arts Program for the City of Portland. She calls Ganesan "a force of nature" and "a really special human being" for her leadership in supporting independent and freelance artists.
The crowdfunding campaign is one piece of the puzzle, Kim says. She predicts that, without intervention, Portland will lose arts venues, organizations and artists who can no longer afford to live here.
"I moved to this city because I thought it was a gritty, creative, artistic, independent place to be," Kim said. "Without our artists, we would lose part of the fabric of this town."

Session Description: Case Study Methods allow evaluators to approach program assessment from a powerful and flexible design palette. While often heavily steeped in the use of qualitative methods, case studies also may include the use of quantitative data
3 attachments
Case study method has enormous potential to inform evaluations of school- and district-based educational programs specifically, as the institution of public schools in the United States represents a unique and diverse structure that compels careful consideration of contextual limitations and opportunities. This session will draw on implementation studies of two school-based initiatives to illustrate how the choice and execution of case study method can enhance the rigor of education research, particularly in a climate of increasing accountability and pressure to produce improved academic outcomes

A beautiful signed Japanese ferrule and pommel plate.
75 x 72mm x 6 mm
107 grams
Japanese-made, heavily inspired by Chinese design
Iron, gold, copper
Late 18th - early 19th century
Anything similar for sale?
A near round tsuba with beaded rim depicting two dragons in vegetal scrollwork. The dragons would normally be reaching for a (flaming) pearl, but on this guard instead, they reach for something that much resembles a globus crucigeror "cross-bearing orb", signifying the ruling of Christ, represented by the cross, over the world, the orb. There are two other crosses without orb in the scrollwork. There is a little hole inside the orb, and in the orb is a small metal ball, cut loose completely from its surroundings.
The dragons have split tails, identifying them as the water-dwelling chilong or "hornless dragon", a benevolent Chinese mythical creature. Dragons, crosses, orb, and some of the tendrils are damascened with gold leaf over very fine crosshatching.
It is probably made in Japan in the 19th century, and it follows a by then rather formalized form. They are based on purely Chinese "Canton tsuba", a type of Sino-Tibetan sword guard popular in China in the 17th and early 18th centuries. These were probably made in Canton but most likely in Beijing, but because all trade went through Canton since 1757 they were probably purchased there and hence associated with that place instead.
It comes with a hand-made wooden box for storage or display.
Comparable examples
There is a nearly identical, but cruder made tsuba in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number m.194-1931.
An archetypical example of a Japanese-made Nanban tsuba of later formalized form, representing an interesting blend between Chinese and Japanese function, craftsmanship and aesthetics.
Do you have anything for sale?
I might be interested in buying it.Contact me
The only set of its type known to me in both private and museum collections.
Based on the Dutch Beaumont mechanism, but with Indonesian twist forged barrel and golden inlays.
A very rare Chinese saber guard dating from the height of the Qing dynasty.
A by-knife for a Japanese sword, with a hilt shaped like a sword tang.
Its outer surface is decorated with interlocking swastikas and family crests.

Why Choose Resurrection
Our students love Resurrection and love to learn. Here are the reasons why:
Rich Curriculum
Our developmentally appropriate programs helps students develop deep understanding and creative thinking. Throughout their experience here, they learn to think critically, cooperate with one another and communicate.
Small Community
We are a small, intimate community where every child is known. We nurture the whole child and value the gifts and talents that each child brings to our community. We give them both the time and space to thrive in our care.
Focus on the Arts
We value the arts and believe that creating art expands a child's ability to interact with the world around them, provides an important set of skills for self-expression and communication and cultivates important skills that benefit a child's development. Art matters the same way language matters — or the way breathing matters! It is a fundamental component of what makes us uniquely human.
Instilled Values
Kindness, respect, and integrity are expressed in every interaction at Resurrection. We see our students as capable and empower them in believing that they are never too small to make a difference in the world.
Natural Outdoors
We have beautiful outdoor spaces, including a traditional playground, a nature playground and a large garden area. We know that giving our children ample time outdoors is a fundamental need for their health and well being.
Low teacher - student ratio
We have very low ratios to maintain close connections between students and teachers. For example in our Kindergarten class our ration is 1:10 and in first grade 1:14. These allow us the opportunity to delve deeper into studies and personalizing educational needs.
What Our Families Say:
"We were so blessed to quickly find Resurrection Primary School in our search, and we've been nothing but grateful – truly grateful – for the opportunity for my kindergartner to find a home here at Resurrection. She has been encouraged, challenged, cared for, and loved in a way that exceeds any of my expectations.

Nearly everything about today's online presence is about balancing quality content with timing and making sure that whatever comes next is properly promoted and represented. To keep your podcast show consistent, there are many important factors that cannot be compromised. In order to keep the show going, the discipline has to be kept, and the expectations must be met.
How does a successful podcaster manage to cover all bases with nearly every upload? We've noticed quite a few similarities doing our research on the topic, and we're here to unveil their secrets. Here's a hint: Podcast Consistency!
Marketing Strategy
A lot of time and energy can go into creating a worthwhile podcast. This can include everything from getting the perfect guest, asking all the right questions, recording with the best gear, and editing your podcast perfectly. While this might create a fantastic podcast, it does not guarantee podcast consistency or success.
That's because a perfect podcast that never reaches its target audience is just as ineffective as a bad podcast. Remaining consistent with tailoring and packaging content for your ideal market is just as important as quality.
Like with all marketing strategies, you are going to have to learn your audience. Create polls and surveys and conduct research to truly understand your target audience. Being aware of who your listeners are, will put you on the right path to optimize your content for a specific niche.
Once that is done, you should look into your niche and conduct some keyword research. Knowing what keywords, phrases, and topics get the most traffic will help you create more appealing and SEO optimized titles and descriptions. This can be a great tool in reaching more of your target market and help you remain consistent with your podcast topics.
Distribution Platforms
Once the legwork is done and you know how to best optimize content for your market, it is time to spread the word. This is where using a wide variety of distribution platforms becomes vital.
Here are the key listening platforms you want to make sure to distribute your podcast through in order to get the most exposure:
- Apple Podcasts
- Google Podcasts
- Spotify
- Stitcher
- Soundcloud
Also, if you captured the recording on video, self-promote the podcast through your social channels and Youtube. Using social media platforms is a great way to promote your podcast. You can reach a large audience through social media and it's thus a great way to get them interested in your show.
Tailor your content for the different social media platforms. Instagram can have short, interesting snippets that grab listeners' attention, while Facebook can be perfect for longer clips that lead people directly to your podcast. Whatever the platform is, be consistent with your podcast promotion and take the time to see what kind of content performs best on it.
Additionally, you should be aware that Google is making an effort to push podcasts to the forefront. That's why having well-optimized podcasts on numerous platforms can help you reach more people than ever before.
Once you have that down, you just need to amplify your content. This includes actions like using the right hashtags, leveraging influencers, ads, and interacting with people. In essence, anything that will help you generate more engagement and traffic.
Consistent Podcast Topics
Consistent topics are a crucial aspect in podcast making, as it helps fulfill expectations of the audience and keeps the host on the right track. Committing to a certain genre helps you find those that want to listen, which helps you continue to grow your audience.
Regardless of the genre, whether it be true crime, business and marketing, celebrity lifestyle, or comedy, a creator must develop podcast consistency and make an effort to not dilute their content. A channel without a strict 'niche' that covers a wide range of topics usually does not fare well.
As a creator, you shouldn't suppress the desire for more varied content-making. Going outside of the genre and exploring new artistic expressions is best done on a different channel, where a podcaster can allow him/herself any type of outlet they feel that they need. This way, a creator has all the credibility and integrity on their base channel and all the freedom for self-expression and creating new audiences on a seperate channel.
Podcast Topics That Fill Success Gaps for Listeners
Perhaps the topic you've centered yourself around is one that already has quite a bit of buzz. Successful podcasters are able to bridge the success gap and uncover podcast topics that have not been chewed up and spit out a couple hundred times. They identify and investigate the topics that are entertaining but haven't been given as much attention.
This allows successful podcasters to set themselves apart from the competition while still remaining in their lane and providing something that is highly requested in today's digital world, original topics or original angles at existing topics.
It is what guarantees they will be able to retain the audience for the next release, and it even allows the podcast to grow based on the promise of original content. The math here is simple – if your audience is happy with what they are getting, the audience is bound to grow.
Consistent Podcast Schedule
For your audience, knowing what to expect is just as important as knowing when to expect it. There is no shortage of scientific data out there on how long the content should be and how frequently you should upload. Regardless of how often you decide to upload, be it weekly or monthly, your podcast consistency depends on you sticking to those deadlines.
Whether you commit to satisfying someone's thirst for knowledge or make them laugh by retelling old movies, they will start to lose trust and interest if your upload is late or missing. Consistency in content upload and content quality is the key to retaining your original audience and the basis for growing your channel.
Expert or Entertaining Podcast Guests and Perspectives
Depending on the content you've come across so far, you may have noticed that podcasts can be vaguely divided into those that entertain a wide range of guests and those that are a bit more self-centered. Don't worry, we mean that in a good way.
Podcasts with one or two hosts and not many guests usually have expert knowledge of the topics and genre they are representing. This means that they truly practice what they preach, and their skill allows them to attract more people who are interested in the same things. It's incredibly useful to talk about things that interest you – it's proven to be therapeutic, and while you're at it, why not grow a following?
On the other hand, podcasts that involve the presence of guests can be just as entertaining. This is because you're always going to be given a new perspective of whatever you're interested in. Hosts in this role serve as a guide and someone who is always prepared to ask the right questions.
Asking the right questions is one of the most underestimated traits of a good podcast host. It can stir up more conversation, avoid awkward silences, and even lead to unique discoveries.

China's largest insurance company is planning to buy back up to Rmb 110 billion ($15.8 billion) of company stock, Caixin reports, as hundreds of mainland-listed firms seek to shore up share prices amid an ongoing rout.
Ping An Insurance said late last week that it has approved the purchase of 10% of the company's outstanding shares, listed either in Shanghai or Hong Kong. If the move goes forward, this would be one of the largest share buy-backs in Chinese stock market history.
The company said in a filing that the decision was made "to actively respond to the decision to amend company law and the policy direction of the regulatory authorities, to stabilise the capital market, and to promote the maximisation of shareholders' value."
Last week the State Council cut restrictions on listed companies' share buy-backs, which are a popular tool during restructurings, mergers or attempts to stabilise share prices.
According to Caixin, more than 756 companies had bought back stock or planned to do so as of October 12. The total value of the purchases completed so far this year exceeds that of the last three years combined.

text: Is money's role relevant to describing the post-WWII U.S. macroeconomic dynamics? Has this relevance changed over time? These questions are answered using both fixed-coefficient and rolling-window Bayesian estimations of a structural model of the business cycle with money. Our empirical evidence favors a speci cation with dri ng parameters for money-consumption nonseparability and the Federal Reserve's reaction to nominal money growth. The role of money is estimated to have been important during the 1970s and declined afterwards. The omission of money produces severely distorted impulse response functions (relative to the model with money). Money is found to be important in replicating the U.S. output volatility during the Great Inflation. These results are shown to depend on the de nition of the monetary aggregate employed in our analysis.

text: Hi, Lucas has asked me if I could gem2debize libdb-ruby, so here are the findings. [Disclaimer: I am not a ruby user, my only interest is helping my db5.1 transition, so my experience is limited by readability of ruby programs and ruby docs + google] bdb package: - doesn't have gemspec - does have 4 extconf.rb ['extconf.rb', 'src/extconf.rb', 'bdbxml1/extconf.rb', 'bdbxml2/extconf.rb'] - does build only by calling <sourcedir>/extconf.rb, it does all the subdirectory work itself The build failed on several places due the fact, that gem2deb/metadata.rb searches for subdirs for extconf.rb (Dir.glob(**/...)) which is not correct for bdb. The dbxml is not in Debian, so it cannot be built. I was able to circumvent this either by removing bdbxml*/extconf.rb or the next solution was to write own gemspec. The second FTBFS after creating gemspec with: spec.extensions << 'extconf.rb' came from extconf.rb. It includes this code: subdirs.each do |subdir| STDERR.puts("#{$0}: Entering directory `#{subdir}'") Dir.chdir(subdir) system("#{CONFIG['RUBY_INSTALL_NAME']} extconf.rb " + ARGV.join(" ")) Dir.chdir("..") STDERR.puts("#{$0}: Leaving directory `#{subdir}'") end Which doesn't pass the target variable from gem2deb/extension_builder.rb, therefore build fails when it tries to install shared library to /usr/local/lib. The workaround which I have used was to create gemspec file with just the extension directory supplied thus it doesn't run the <sourcedir>/extconf.rb at all. spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.extensions << 'src/extconf.rb' end I also had to write some code (mostly copied from <sourcedir/extconf.rb) to run the tests, but somebody should check it if it's correct. I am little bit convinced that it's the upstream at fault who uses little bit non-standard system (they should use gemspec instead of custom extconf.rb), but as I said I don't use ruby, so maybe I am just confused. The git repository was pushed to git.debian.org/git/users/ondrej/ruby-bdb since I am not a member of pkg-ruby-extras (and I don't want to be). Please copy this repository and drop me an email when it's done, so I can delete it. O. -- Ondřej Surý <email@example.com>

One of the most valuable tools you have in your reseller toolbox is the ability to draft a written description. Keywords are so important and seriously under-rated. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is arguably one of the most significant considerations in reselling (paired with photography and pricing, of course).
Remember, most sales do not happen by chance or newsfeed scrolling; instead, they happen as a direct result of a search performed by the buyer. As such, it is crucial to include all of the words in your descriptions so that your listings show up in as many search results as possible.
Here is a reseller's guide to SEO, explaining how it works and how to include keywords in your listing descriptions.
What is SEO?
Search engine optimization is fairly complicated but is simply defined, in the reseller context, as the process of getting listings to rank higher in search engines. Because search is the main way in which people find listings, ranking higher in search engines leads to an increase in traffic to a listing (and likely an increase in sales). This refers to search engines on individual marketplaces such as Poshmark, and also web-based search engines such as Google.
SEO Fact: Studies show that 88% of searches on a desktop are on Google. On mobile devices, that figure is a whopping 96%!
Why is SEO important?
SEO is important because most purchases happen this way:
- The buyer performs a search
- Your listing appears in the search
- They click on your listing
- You receive activity and exposure
- Activity and exposure leads to sales
Let's break down these steps a little more…
- The prospective buyer performs a search on either a specific marketplace such as Poshmark or on a search engine such as Google.
The buyer searches for "Ripped Mom Jeans"
- Your listing appears in the search because your description contains the word(s) that they typed into the search engine.
Your listing titled "Levi's High Rise Ripped Mom Jeans" appears in the search results (close to the top depending on how many other listings there are with the same or similar keywords), and your listings titled "American Eagle Light Wash Mom Jeans" and "J Brand Ripped Jeans" also show up, though they are ranked lower as they are not an identical match to the searched words.
- Your listings inevitably show up in search results, but sometimes they are never clicked on and viewed. Of course, having amazing photographs and competitive prices are influential here.
The search revealed 20,934,572 pairs of jeans. Perhaps, many identical to yours. If your listings are recent or identical, they will be at the top of the results, hopefully yielding clicks. If yours are better-photographed or better-priced, there is a greater chance of yielding clicks.
The buyer clicks on your listing because it was towards the top of the results and your cover photo and price look great!
- Clicks are good! Your listing received exposure once the prospective buyer clicked on it. Here is where clear images and a detailed description of the condition are influential.
The buyer is likely to "like"/ save your item, ask a question, browse your other listings, or make an offer. All of these actions are positive in the algorithmic sequence, and likely will lead to a sale.
- Activity and exposure lead to sales. Inevitably, the more clicks that your listings receive, the more activity you will generate. In every e-commerce context, exposure and activity lead to sales.
Here, the buyer didn't purchase your jeans... she "liked" another pair and received an offer from a different seller. Perhaps, if you made an offer immediately, you would have made that sale. This is where activity comes in.
Regardless, you have your entire inventory and every listing description as ways to use keywording to maximize exposure and activity. Like pennies adding up to dollars, each character in your listing description is a valuable asset that collectively and collaboratively will place your listings in various search results.
Other SEO Considerations
Many other factors can affect how your listing may (or may not) rank in the search results including relevance and identicality, how recently it was edited, refreshed or shared, and any filters that the buyer selected such as size, brand, price, etc.
This is a general guide to SEO, but understand that it works differently on different reselling marketplaces. When a user performs a search on Poshmark or Depop, the recency plays a major role in the search results; that is, the listings that were "shared" or refreshed most recently will rank higher than those which have not. On Mercari and Tradesy, recency is not as influential in ranking.
SEO also works differently in major search engines. On Poshmark, the words in your title and listing descriptions are yielded in search engines on both Poshmark and across search engines like Google and Bing. However, on eBay only your title and item specifics influence SEO in the most significant ways.
Different platforms are also ranked differently on major search engines. For example, if you perform a Google search for various specific keywords, you will immediately see results for Poshmark listings. This is because Poshmark has paid for higher rankings in search results for that keyword. It is far less likely that your search will yield any Depop or Kidizen listings, as they "do not have good SEO," because they have not paid the major search engines for higher rankings on the search results. Understand that search engines do yield almost every occurrence of keywords across the web, however. So, while your Poshmark listings may receive more traction than your Mercari listings, it is nonetheless important to compose detailed descriptions to maximize exposure.

SEO Tips:
- Emojis destroy SEO (at least, in the reselling context, they do). Search engines do not register most emojis, they are unknown characters that appear as a box with a question mark inside. As such, using them (especially in your titles) can really harm your rankings.
- Think like a buyer. Because SEO is based upon search results, consider how people search for things. While it is true that the more detail, the better… make sure the detail is not too advanced or prohibitively specific. A buyer is not likely to search for a phrase containing "Glen Check Plaid Periwinkle Duster," but the words "plaid," "blue," and "blazer" are commonly searched and SEO-friendly words.
SEO Fact: There are many tools such as Semrush, UberSuggest, Moz, among others, that report the statistics about which words are most commonly searched. Cyber statistics and SEO research is very interesting stuff!
- Size Matters. The length of your title and description is essential. While you want to maximize the value of every character and keywording opportunity, you do not want Google to break off your search results. "Unbroken page titles", titles and descriptions that are of appropriate length to register properly in Google, perform best and rank highest in the search results. Currently, Google can only show page titles that are a maximum of 70 characters, and the optimal length is 30-70 characters. Most reselling platforms have title character limitations for this reason.
- Points for Spelling and Grammar. Spelling and Grammar matter. While some search engines include a form of spell-checking, listings with accurate spelling rank highest. Typos and misplaced words are damaging for SEO.
Similarly, being too accurate can be damaging. While the famous designer Maison Hermès includes an accent, this is not how it will be typed into search boxes. Similarly, while "button-down" is grammatically correct, "button down" is more commonly searched.
SEO Tip: Include both slang terms and nicknames as well as the entire brand in your listings. When you're selling Birkenstock's, also include "Birks'' in your description for more searchability.
- Be a Wordsmith. SEO yields listings with the words most similar to those typed into the search box, and the arrangement of those words is important as well. For example, if you are selling a 1993 Disney Denim Jacket with Mickey Mouse and Friends, consider the following titles:
- "Vintage Disney Mickey Mouse 1990s Denim Jacket"
- "Vintage 1993 Jean Jacket Characters"
Description A will rank higher, because:
- The words "vintage" and Disney" appear next to each other, and will be yielded when people search for vintage Disney anything.
- Disney must be included in the title. Disney is a classic, famous, and loved brand.
- Using the general decade, the 1990s, rather than the specific year, 1993, will generate more exposure.
- Mentioning "Mickey Mouse," specifically will yield higher results in more searches for the most notable Disney character.
- While I would recommend including both in your description, "Denim Jacket" yields more results than "jean jacket" based upon a quick Google search.
SEO Fact: "Description A" above demonstrates long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords are specific keyword terms and phrases that drive more relevant and qualitative traffic to your listings. With long-tail keywords, the words and phrases are specific to your exact item, as opposed to the classic considerations. You should consider long-tail keywords and phrases in your title, but maximize your description with classic SEO keywords.
For example, the listing description for the Disney Jacket should likely include the words: Vintage, 1990's Style, Disney, Denim, Jean, Retro, Classic, American Vintage, Walt Disney World, Disney Land, Embroidered, Disney Characters (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck among others. These terms are not long-tail keywords, but nonetheless valuable characters to enhance SEO ranking and exposure.
- Title Matters. Especially when selling higher-end or desirable items, always include the full and actual title of the item by the designer or manufacturer.
While a great title is "Lululemon Wunder Under Crops Jacquard Size 4", your description should include Lululemon Athletica Wunder Under Crop III Maze Jacquard White Black" because Lululemon is a coveted and widely-collected brand with buyer loyalty.
- A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words. SEO is not just about words, but also images. The major search engines allow reverse-image searching, in which photographs are yielded. This is why so many resellers use the plain white background, as it is easier for search engines to yield similar results when a plain and lightly-colored background is used.
Reseller SEO: How to Use Keywords to Maximize Exposure and Make Sales
It is all about the title and description. Each character in your title and description is a valuable asset that you can skillfully use to generate exposure and profit.
Consider the following descriptions:
Description A: Poor
Frame mid-rise dark wash flared jeans. Flattering and cute jeans in excellent condition. Size 2
Description B: Better
Frame Designer Jeans. Dark wash denim jeans, high rise with 5 pockets and button fly. Flattering and slimming jeans in excellent condition. Cotton and polyester blend, with some stretch. Size 2
Approximate Measurements: Waist 24 Inseam 30.5
Description C: Best
Frame Le High Flared Jeans in color Sutherland. Dark wash mid-rise to high rise flared leg jeans. Slimming jeans with contouring and tummy control.
- Size 2
- Cotton, Polyester, Spandex Blend (Stretchy Jeans)
- Made in the U.S.A.
- Retail Value: $209
Approximate Measurements Not Exact:
- Waist Approx. 24"
- Hips Approx. 29"
- Inseam Approx. 30.5"
- Rise Approx. 9.5"
Tags: Flared Jeans Bell Bottoms Vintage Inspired Designer Jeans Y2k Aesthetic Dark Wash Jeans Slimming Waist High Waisted High Rise Dark Wash Casual Frame Denim Frame Jeans Authentic Designer
Bundle Discounts Available
Fast Shipping
5 Star Seller
Why is description C the best? It is not just because it is longer, but because it has so many more details and keywords. Description C includes the designer's actual title and colorway. Description C features tons of additional words that a buyer may type into the search bar including those that relate to the measurements and material (yes, people search for these) as well as all of the words included under "tags."
Here, I "word-dumped" at the end of my description. Word-dumping is perfectly fine, so long as you dump relevant words. Rather than incorporating all of the adjectives into a jumbled mess, I included the most important and relevant information at the top and included keywording at the bottom for higher visibility.
Reseller Tip: Did you notice the listing verbiage about discounts, shipping, and ratings? Include some marketing in your listings (or in a listing image) to generate sales.
How to Find Keywords to Use in Your Listing Descriptions
Sometimes, thinking of keywords is easy. As a general rule, describe your item as if your listing does not include images, and your description will inevitably be full of keywords. But with some items, it can be more difficult to think of keywords and descriptors.
To brainstorm keywords for your product listings, consider the following:
1. Item
You would be surprised how many listings for dresses on Poshmark do not even include the word "dress."
2. Type
Consider necklines, hemlines, lengths, or style names. For example, be sure to include if the dress is strapless, mini, bodycon, etc. These are all style descriptors.
3. Style
Consider if this item is preppy, classic, edgy, goth, bohemian, cottage core, streetwear, cosplay, y2k, retro, or may fit into any of the "cores" or "aesthetics" that are trending online. I use Depop to assist with these outrageous terms.
Did you know that Vendoo published a reseller's guide to gores & style aesthetics? Learn about the trending styles and hashtags such as Barbiecore, Balletcore, Gorpcore and more here.
4. Age
This is particularly beneficial when something is super old or super new, but especially with vintage. When possible, reference the decade on your vintage listings.
5. Brand
This is particularly important when the brand is popular. If the brand is unknown or undesirable, it is not as important to highlight it.
6. Size and Fit
If your sizing is unique, be sure to include that. If the item is maternity, petite, plus size, big and tall size, one size, oversized, "baby fit", or anything outside of a typical sizing scale, include it. These words are commonly searched by people seeking unique sizing.
7. Color
This is a big one because people search by color. In a listing for one dress, you might include that the color be defined as "burgundy, maroon, wine red, or a plum purple dark red blend." Similarly, rather than describing something as just multi-color, you may choose to list every color that appears for maximized searchability.
8. Pattern
Similarly, people love styles. Include all of the relevant adjectives that you can such as striped, plaid, polka dot, chevron, etc. This is particularly true of knits, such as cable knit, classic knit, open knit, exploded knit, waffle knit, and ribbed.
9. Material Content
Do not just photograph the material tag on your item, include the actual words in the listing, especially when talking about a trending or desirable material such as linen, velvet, or merino wool.
10. Occasion
The occasion is one of the most common ways that buyers search, as they are always looking for an appropriate ensemble for a particular event or environment. Be sure to include the formality (formal, casual, business casual, professional) or even the event at which one would wear something (such as club dress, girl's night out, bachelorette, party dress, cocktail dress, New Year's Eve, etc.)
Other Ways to Find Keywords
If you aren't well-versed in the many style names, patterns, or all of the "aesthetics" coined by Gen Z, here are some ways to find more keywords:
- Look at what is trending. Look online, at magazines, or go window shopping. Right now, you will see high-rise jeans, vintage-inspired styles, plaid, mustard yellow, oversized items, and early 2000's y2k inspired pieces. All of these words are trending and being searched frequently!
- Look at the Designer or Brand's Descriptions. Search your item on Google and find a retail listing, which will inevitably be packed full of style descriptors and keywords that you can use!
- Look at Other Active Listings and Sellers. It is always helpful to browse similar listings and see the descriptions that other sellers are using for inspiration.
- Use Google Lens. If you're not sure of the name of a pattern or style, use Google Image to do a reverse image search. While you may not find your exact item, you will find similar items which will provide you with keywording ideas.
- Think Like a Buyer. Before you publish your description, think of which words you would type into the search bar if you wanted to find your item. Include all of those words and similar combinations of them.

During the talk, he may have to turn around to face the screen (away from the audience) to read the bullet points. Another annoyance is when the speaker only reads the bullet points; the information tends to come out clipped and awkward. (See Peter Norvig's hypothetical If Lincoln had PowerPoint for an example)
My take on that is that if all the speaker is going to do is read the bullet points, I might as well have downloaded the powerpoint from his website and saved the conference fee.
More than annoyances, some things just cause an awkward pause in the discussion. Drinking a glass of water can be natural, but powerpoint forces some things, like slide transitions, to be awkward. The speaker finishes his thought and has to walk over to the laptop, click the down button, and check to see if it worked; or worse yet, spend the entire talk in front of the podium to avoid that problem.
Or, for fifty bucks, you could get a
Wireless Presenter and advanced slides where-ever you like.
That particular model comes with a laster pointer; mine doesn't have the laser pointer, but they can be helpful and you only save ten bucks by skipping that.
Or course, when I use these, I turn my head to verify that the slide worked, but that's about it. Occasionally, I have accidentally advanced a slide when I didn't want to, and not noticed it until later.
Still, it's a tool that helps make the presentation seamless, and it's cheap and small, and it's not a trick or manipulation.
That's enough presentation tools for now. Tomorrow: Testing tools …

Sergio Garcia is a professional golfer who has 31 international tournaments under his belt. The Spaniard is the most popular name in golf in the country and is currently one of the most popular names in the world for golf lovers and followers. Here you will find everything you need to know about the 2008 Players Championship Champion.
Sergio Garcia Biography
The man was born on 9 January 1980 in Castellon, Spain, as Sergio García Fernández. He grew up in the Spanish town of Borriol in a family with three children as his second child. Interestingly, since the age of two, he began a romance with golf, inspired by his father, who was a lover of the sport.
Victor Garcia, his father, also raised Sergio's 2 other siblings, an older brother, Victor Garcia (Jr.), and his sister Mary, to love the game. While his brother worked at a golf club and attended college on a golf scholarship, the other two continued to play the game, but Sergio had the greater talent.
Apart from his love of golf, Victor Garcia, who lived near Valencia, made sure his family was raised as correctly and traditionally as possible. He emphasized values like modesty and hard work. This should also be reflected in the lives of his children.
Sergio Garcia, for his part, has spent most of his life playing the game he loves so much. At a very young age he took on members of his father's golf club and his reward was either cola or ice cream. When he was 12 years old, El Nino, as he was called, became popular as a long hitter.
In 1994, the youngster won the Topolino Junior World Championship, and in 1995 he took home the Orange Bowl International Junior Golf Championship in Miami. This was his first appearance in the USA. Another victory was soon to follow, but this time it was the European Tour at the Turespana Open. He was the youngest player to make a cut there. He then became the youngest champion of European amateur players and won the European Young Masters Championship again.

Before 2000 Sergio Garcia had participated in many other tournaments, put on a good show, and paved the way for a professional golf career. This is exactly how he once hoped as a child to grow up and play football for Real Madrid. His love of football is still strong as he is the president of the Spanish football team CF Borriol.
As a professional golfer, Sergio Garcia has played in 14 championships on the European Tour, 10 on the PGA Tour, 6 on the Asian Tour, and a Japan Golf Tour, among others. On his way to becoming the youngest player ever to take part in the Ryder Cup, he first became well known when he played Tiger Woods in the 1999 PGA Championship. Although he did not win, he put on a very good show after losing by just one stroke.
Throughout his career, the man has won many awards, including the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year in 1999. In 2008, Garcia received the Vardon Trophy and the Byron Nelson Award, and in 2017 he was named European Tour golfer of the year.
Sergio Family – Wife, Fiance, or Girlfriend, Is He Married?
The golf star has so far enjoyed his own fair share of relationships. The first woman he has been associated with is Martina Hingis. Sergio and the former Swiss professional tennis player were together between 2001 and 2002 before they finally broke up.
He also dated the Australian actress Katharina Boehm before they broke up sometime in 2015. That was 2 years after their date, as their date is said to have started in 2013. Their relationship became a little serious as many expected them to marry after it turned out that the golfer had engaged the woman. But this was not to be.

A step back in time, Garcia's girlfriend in 2006 was Morgan-Leigh Norman, the daughter of another great golfer, Greg Norman. Garcia and the beautiful woman, who will marry Chris Dillavou in 2012, did not survive together beyond 2009 when they parted ways. When he spoke about the relationship, he revealed that it was very painful to lose it.
The next person he has visited date is Angela Akins. She became his fiancée in January 2017 after he engaged her. Angela is a golf channel reporter who is also the daughter of former college All-American football player Marty Akins. Their engagement began in 2016 and they decided to become man and wife in July 2017 when they were married at a private event in Texas attended by their families and close friends.
The family gained a new member when she gave birth to her first child, Azalea Adele Garcia, who was born on March 14, 2018.

Have you recently been charged with a DUI? If so, you aren't alone. In fact, over 1.5 million Americans face these charges each year.
But, not all of them were driving while under the influence!
If you've been wrongfully accused of this crime, you still have a chance to fight. Keep reading to learn how!
Were You Illegally Stopped?
An officer must have a solid reason for stopping you in the first place. Some examples of this could be erratic driving, swerving, or failure to use lights or signals. Otherwise, they might have been acting outside of the legal procedure for a traffic stop.
Depending on what was going on when you were pulled over, your attorney may argue that there was no probable cause.
Is the Evidence Credible?
DUI evidence can work both for or against you, depending on what the officer is presenting. For example, a dashcam video that shows you driving well and being stopped for no reason could help to have your DUI dismissed. And, some people live with medical conditions that make them seem intoxicated – even if they haven't been drinking.
In other cases, the reliability of chemical and sobriety tests is called into question. These cases typically rely on witnesses who can legally testify that the individual was not intoxicated.
Were You Legally Intoxicated?
Sometimes, chemical tests can take place hours after the time of arrest – allowing for major changes in blood alcohol level. In some cases, a test that was badly delayed could be deemed invalid, helping to build a solid DUI defense.
If less scientific evidence, field sobriety tests, for example, are being used – they may also be considered inadmissible in court. A wide variety of both physical and psychological conditions can impact this.
Your DUI Offense
Whether this is your first DUI, second DUI, or even your third DUI – it's important to understand that you're being charged with a serious crime.
While penalties for first-time offenders are generally light, they are still costly and time-consuming. Rack up 2 or 3 DUI's, and you risk losing your license and paying hundreds more each month for insurance.
If, based on the points above, you feel that you are not guilty of driving under the influence, now is the time to hire capable legal defense. Be sure to compile as much information about your case as possible before seeking legal assistance. And, if your legal proceedings are already underway, don't forget to be polite and compliant with police and court officials.
Fighting Your DUI
Now that you know a bit about fighting a DUI and winning, you're probably eager to get the process started. Keep this article as your guide, and good luck setting the record straight!

It's said getting out in nature is good for your health. As is laughter. Laughing in the woods with a comic who's also an award-winning naturalist? It's like a wonder drug with no side effects—unless you die laughing.
I charge $200 a day and can lead up to eight people on hikes.
My life as a naturalist began when I was five years old, and what a dubious beginning it was. My grandfather and I were strolling in the woods when I tripped over a slug that was roughly the size of a Buick. "A snail with a housing problem," Grandpa said as we bent down to check it out. Then for some reason he added: "Don't lick it."
You can probably guess what I did. Like any budding naturalist, I licked it . . . or maybe I was just acting like any five-year old who's been told not to do something. Whatever. As I grimaced, Grandpa raised his eyebrows and said: "Bet it numbed your tongue." It numbed my whole mouth.
Learn from my mistakes! If you and your group are hiking anywhere between Lincoln City and Florence, Oregon, let me accompany you into the woods. Let me tell you why licking a slug numbs your tongue. If you still choose to lick one, that's your problem.
After I've revealed the secret lives of slugs to you, I can show you why old growth forests are more than big old trees. I'll identify plants Native Americans and pioneers used for everything from preventing baldness to improving dismal love lives . . . not that you suffer from these problems, but perhaps you have "a friend" who does. I'll point out local landmarks while telling you stuff that was left out of most history classes: tales about the Native Americans, the homesteaders, the loggers, the lumber barons, the scoundrels and even the madams.
And then there are the mysteries of ocean that need exploring. Ever wonder who in his right mind would live in a tide pool? If you're a normal person, probably not. That's OK. They probably haven't thought much about you either. Truth is, most things that live in tide pools have no brains and are little more than stomachs and sex organs. They have their priorities. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see a whale spout. Even if we don't, I can still tell you all about whales--including why it takes a minimum of three to mate.
Since 1997 I have taught natural history for Road Scholar (formerly Elderhostel) and on the boat The Discovery. Before that, from 1987 to 1997, I worked for Siuslaw National Forest as a forest fire fighter and a naturalist running interpretive programs at Cape Perpetua's Interpretive Center and Heceta Head Lighthouse. In 1994 I was named Northwest Forest Interpreter of the Year by the U.S. Forest Service. I'm still not sure why. Maybe it's something else we can blame on El Nino. Or maybe I'm pretty good at my job.

Photos from some hikes in the Redwoods.
To give you an idea of the sorts of hikes I lead, here's the schedule I sent a group who hired me for a series of fall hikes.
Now available as an eBook for $2.99 and as an autographed paperback for $7.50.

Now available as an eBook with lots of extras for a measly $3.99!
Amazon.com *** iTunes It's my first book of literary nonfiction published by Caxton Press. It's a story that has everything a good read should have: sex, religious fervor, mass insanity, the downfall of prominent families, murder & sensational court trials. AND it's all true. To learn more about cults and the book, go to Holy Rollers
is a website I'm developing that has lots of "Then and Now" photos, stories about Native Americans, homesteaders, entrepreneurs, and colorful characters who have lived, worked and played in the quirky town I work in, Yachats, Oregon.
The New Yorker, of course ... although they've yet to have the good sense to buy any of my work. Hundreds of others have, from the Saturday Evening Post to The Oregonian to large publishing houses to small trade journals. Let me draw a few cartoons for you. No matter what, I hope you get a few laughs as you go through my site.
Events can't be called true events unless they have official T-shirts, and t-shirts with personalized cartoons on them are the T-shirts preferred by 9 out of 10 people stranded on a desert island.

"Well, 17 and 16 na sila when they moved to Canada so hopefully, Ariel and I have already raised them well with the right Pinoy values," she says. "Thanks to technology, we always see them and communicate with them sa phone at lagi kong sinasabi, Filipino kayo. And also, they're with my in laws, may titos and titas sila roon who help them in everything they need. I'm not even worried na maaga silang magka-girlfriend kasi mababait talaga sila. Idol nila ang tatay nila kasi mabait talaga si Ariel, and idol rin ni Ariel ang father niya na isang ulirang ama. On December 22, 21st anniversary na ng marriage namin and I can't complain kasi we both work to make our marriage work and last."
Before they leave for Canada, she is advancing some episodes for her current afternoon soap, the hit "Ika-5 Utos". "Halos araw-araw ang taping namin ngayon. Kasi I will be back on January 4 pa. May time na kauuwi lang namin, ang next call time namin is 1 AM so we start grinding at 2 AM. Ganun kalupit ang schedules namin ngayon."
Is she happy that "Ika-5 Utos" served as her comeback soap for GMA-7? "Oh yes. I'm very grateful kasi masaya kami ng mga kasama ko, lalo na sina Jean Garcia at Valerie Concepcion. On screen, lagi kaming nag-aaway, but on the set, ang ganda ng bonding. I also like my role as Kelly. Actually, ako yung comic relief dito. When they made my role more dramatic, ayaw ng tao, kaya binalik nila ko yung comedy scenes at sina Jean at Valerie ang laging nagbabangayan dito. So abangan nyo ang susunod na episodes dahil mas marami pang nakakaintrigang mga mangyayari sa 'Ika-5 Utos'."

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables to cook in the air fryer! When you cook asparagus in the air fryer, the asparagus turns out al dente on the inside and crispy on the outside. Plus, no or very minimal oil is needed to achieve this mouthwatering side dish. Everything but the Bagel seasoning is a favorite in our house and is a delicious low carb coating agent. This easy side dish comes together in less tha 10 minutes and will please the entire family!
Surprise! I have an air fryer! Although I share pressure cooker recipes on my site almost once a week, I have had an air fyer for almost two years. I haven't been to adventurous with it yet ( unless you count 5 minute tatertots), but this Everything but the Bagel Asparagus was too good not to share! Asparagus in the air fryer turns out perfect! Plus the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning makes a good coating agent and the result is perfectly seasoned asparagus that is also super crispy!
How to Make Everything Bagel Asparagus in your Air Fryer
- Rinse Asparagus under cool water
- Cut off the tough woody bottom part of the asparagus
- Coat the Asparagus with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning while the asparagus is still damp. You can also spray the asparagus with olive oil cooking spray so the seasoning stays on.
- Set your Air Fryer to 400 degrees
- Cook for 7 minutes.
- Eat!
This side dish turned out perfectly seasoned. If you don't like Everything but the Bagel seasoning, you can also try coating your asparagus with
- Parmesan Cheese
- Panko Breadcrumbs
- Bacon Bits
- 1 bunch asparagus
- olive oil cooking spray optional
- 3 tablespoons Everything but the bagel seasoning or more
Wash and Trim Asparagus.
Coat with olive oil cooking spray and coat with Everything but the Bagel Seasoning.
Set your Air Fryer to 400 degrees
Cook for 7 minutes
Remove from air fryer and serve.
This asparagus was the bomb! This is going to probably end up in our regular rotation of side dishes.
