The Hungarian Pavilion
The choice of architectural language for the Pavilion of Hungary in Turin 1911 reveals Hungary's desire for political and cultural independence and its attempt to wrestle free from the Austrian Empire. There was no better opportunity to showcase the Nation's intentions than a Pavilion at a World's Fair. Budapest's decision to feature Belgian Art Nouveau or English Arts and Crafts styles in many of its new buildings and projects around the time of the Exposition in Turin (instead of Vienna designs and decorative motives) had an eloquent political meaning.
The Pavilion of Hungary is based on a strictly symmetrical design. Visitors following the CTI itinerary, would see, on their left, "a tall conical tower rising from a blocky base flanked by two wings with conical roofs."
Here was the main entrance to the "tent," with a remarkable historiated half-dome with bas-relief figures guarded by colossal armed knights made by Miklós Ligeti (one of the main Hungarian sculptors at that time) underscoring the connection of the pavilion with the Hungarian military tradition.
Light filtered inside from the top of the central glass dome and the light's effect were amplified by ornamentals mobiles.
On the external walls, the windows were tripartite: each one had four faux columns with flourished capitals and a decorated frieze above. A tall historiated cornice, spaced out by small windows, stood out from the yellow walls and circled around the building. It displayed stories of national heroes.
The view from the Po on the back side was even more fantastical, with two multicolored spires flanking the rear hall and framing the tall central tower (Alofsin 218).
The Pavilion of Hungary should be evaluated in the specific context of the Turin 1911 exhibition as well as in the wider context of other exhibitions and contemporary Hungarian art and architecture. The external structure of the pavilion was an act of homage to the Castle of Buda and, especially, the Halaszbastya (literally "fisherman bastion") – created by F. Shuleck from 1899-1905. The Castle of Buda was marked, like the Hungarian Pavilion, by several towers on different layers in order to make the overall structure more dynamic. Like the Buda Castle, all the towers of the Pavilion of Hungary had pyramidal roofs.
The side portal of the "Jewish Charity Home" created by Bela Lajta in 1909-1911 had the same features of the portal of the Hungarian Pavilion, including bas reliefs and inscriptions in stone, floral motives and geometrical patterns. Both display a rigid geometrical base surmounted by a half dome. In the case of Turin, the dome is jutting out, and reminds one of a tent, while the dome of the Charity Home is a simple half-arc.

With the 18th pick of the 2003 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Hornets selected power forward David West out of Xavier.
The Hornets enjoyed the services of West for eight years until he became an unrestricted free agent last June, when he declined his player option for the 2011-12 campaign. West, a two-time All-Star, posted averages of 16.4 points and 7.3 rebounds over 530 games, including 438 starts with the Hornets.
Now West will face his former team for the first time when he leads the Indiana Pacers into tonight's showdown at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. West had his 2010-11 campaign cut short in late March with a torn medial collateral ligament, but is now back at full strength and posting 12.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game with his new employer.
"I don't have any hard feelings," West told the Indianapolis Star. "I enjoyed my time in New Orleans. It's one of the most unique places to live in the United States. I definitely enjoyed that."
West had 14 points and eight rebounds in Sunday's 108-733 blowout of Charlotte in the second portion of a three-game homestand, while All-Star Roy Hibbert led the charge with 18 points and 14 boards for the Pacers, winners of two straight after a five-game losing streak. Danny Granger and Tyler Hansbrough scored 14 and 13 points, respectively. Indiana shot 50 percent for the game and led by as many as 44 points en route to its widest margin of victory since a 51-point blowout of Chicago on March 28, 2003 (140-89).
"It's good to get a win like this," said Hibbert. "It shows if we're tied together on defense early in the game, we can get out to big wins."
The Pacers improved to 9-4 at home this season and will play five of their next seven games on the road. They had 22 assists against the Bobcats and are 10-1 when recording 20 or more assists this season. Indiana is 12-2 when scoring between 90-99 points and 6-1 when hitting the century mark. Guard George Hill missed his 11th consecutive game with a chip fracture in his left ankle and is still out indefinitely. Hill has been able to practice somewhat on the limb and continues to ice the injury.
New Orleans had dropped eight in row before a season-high three-game winning, but plummeted back into the loss column with Monday's 101-93 loss to the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder in the third installment of a six-game road trip.
Former Pacer Jarrett Jack scored 18 points and Greivis Vasquez netted 15 for the Hornets, who are 4-10 away from the Big Easy this season and last in the Southwest Division. Al-Farouq Aminu posted 14 points and Chris Kaman 12 in a losing effort. New Orleans made just 36.3 percent of its shots, but did sink 7-of-14 from beyond the arc.
"As we always do we hung in there. It's tough when you play against a team like the Thunder who has a lot of rhythm," Hornets head coach Monty Williams said on the team's website. "I felt our guys kind of hung their heads a little in the first half but I never feel like I'm out of it, but it's hard to inject that into other people."
New Orleans continued to play without Eric Gordon (knee), Carl Landry (knee), Emeka Okafor (knee) and Jason Smith (concussion). All four are still out.
The Hornets will also make stops in Cleveland and Chicago on the trek and split a home-and-home series with Indiana a season ago. New Orleans has won six of seven meetings with the Pacers.

Single White Nerd: Stranger Danger and the Psychic Grannie
a blogumn by Michael Kass
Last week I went to a movie. Alone. I kind of felt like wallowing in the aloneness a bit, so I bought a massively large buttered popcorn and a huge drink. Nothing emphasizes alone-i-tude in a dark theater like the feeling of a big tub of warm, lard covered popcorn between your thighs.
I took a seat toward the back of the theater and started munching on my corny grease bombs and slorping from my fizzy mug of high fructose corn syrup. Looking to my left, I saw a pair of kids. Probably no older than 12 or 13. They were engrossed in some iPhone game and hadn't even noticed me come in. They didn't have any snacks. I thought they might want some.
"Hey," I whispered. "Hey, kids."
They looked over.
"Look, I bought too much popcorn. Because I felt like wallowing a bit, you know. But you don't seem to have any popcorn. So I thought I would offer you some. It's good, real buttery. Good for watching movies with."
They looked at each other. One whispered something that sounded a bit like "stranger danger."
"Or a sip of soda. But you'd have to get your own straw. Because this is my straw. And you might have the herp."
Now they looked straight at me. "Perv," one of them spat. Then they switched rows leaving me alone with my warm tub of crunchy snack-joy.
Perv? Me? For wanting to share my popcorn bounty and not get herpes? How DARE they! I almost let them have a piece of my mind–
And then I had a meta-moment of self-realization: I was a 30-something man alone in a theater offering treats to pre-pubescent boys. I guess, from a certain point of view, I mean. . .I guess that maybe someone without a window into my completely innocent motivations could, perhaps, see me as a pervert attempting to corrupt innocent youth. Like Pee Wee Herman without the successful children's show or exposed penis.
This moment of realization dragged a memory up with it. A memory of my grandmother. When I was growing up, my grandmother and I would talk on the phone every week. The conversations would go something like this:
Me: Hi.
Her: Hi, Michael.
Me: How are you?
Her: Oh, you know. My hips don't work so well and I haven't been able to walk so well. But this is what happens.
Me: Sure is.
Her: Are you wearing your orange sweater when you go out at night?
(my grandmother sent me at least one hideous bright orange sweater every year, a talisman against evil of all kinds)
Me: Yes (a bald faced lie)
Her: Because traffic doesn't care about sweet boys like you. You'll get run over. Are you still going to movies alone?
Me: Yes.
Her: Watch out for men at movies. Especially if they offer you popcorn or candy. Or touch you in a way that you don't think is right.
There it was: Watch out for men at movies. What if it hadn't been a warning for child-me at all, but rather a dire prediction of my future. What if there had been words missing in her warning and she'd meant to say, "watch out for BECOMING men at movies WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR 30s?!"
I'd never considered the idea that my grandmother might be psychic. But, then, she'd always had an odd sort of extra-sensory perception. For example—she always felt air conditioning blowing on her, regardless of whether or not the room she happened to be in had air conditioning. This always struck me as a particularly useless psychic talent, but clearly I had underestimated her.
I had written off my grandmother's prophecies and now one of them had come true: I had become the Man in the Movie Theater. As the movie started, I meditatively sucked my straw—what else had I missed? Should I be on the lookout for cars trying to hit me at night? Or had she rather been trying to warn me about hitting people while driving at night? Either way, I resolved to be much more careful when walking and driving in the post-daylight hours. Maybe I should start taking taxis.
Thinking about my grandmother's predictions and warnings took up so much energy that I got rather lost in the halls of memory and prognostication and missed most of the movie. As the credits rolled, I got up to leave. A hand reached out to grab my sleeve. I looked down to see a 50-something man with a mustache wearing a trench coat:
"Hey," he said, "I noticed that you're here alone. You wanna get a drink?"
"No," I replied. Then for good measure I added "Perv" and left the theater muttering a small thank you to my grandmother for her wisdom.

What age is this Summer Trip for?
Adventures Around the World is geared towards older elementary students (3rd-5th grade), but written for families to enjoy together. Your older elementary students will be able to do more of the activities with little to no help (although, you might want to stick around for the cooking part!) If you have younger children, you'll need to help them through more of the activities, but they'll still be able to enjoy and experience the adventure with everyone.
How much screen time is involved?
Each country in the Summer Trip comes with 2 videos to be watched online. The introductory video and the Family Trivia Game video are 5-10 minutes long each. These are the only videos or screen time that are consistently included with each country.
Some countries may have a recommended YouTube video for you to watch, but not every country will have this. On average, these videos are 3 minutes long.
When does the fun start?
The fun starts now! You can "book" your Summer Trip starting right now and make sure to reserve your spot. Once you do, come and join me in the Facebook group where we'll hang out before the adventure takes off.
On June 7th, things get exciting! This is the day we travel to our first country together! (Since this is a summer adventure, we wanted to make sure it was truly summer before we took off!) You'll receive an email with all the travel details for visiting this country Monday morning, June 7th. For the next 6 weeks, you'll get an email each Monday with all your travel details for the next country.
What if I purchase after June 7?
Don't worry! You can still join in on the adventure! If you "book" your Summer Trip on or after June 7th, you'll get an email that same day with all the travel details for visiting your first country.
But don't delay! Since this is 'Summer Trip 2021,' everyone needs to travel in the summer…and in 2021! So, the cart will close on July 20, 2021.
After you "book" your adventure, for the next 6 weeks, you'll get an email with all your travel details for the next country. The one slight difference? Your email might not show up on Monday. If you sign up on Wednesday, your emails will arrive on Wednesdays. (Same for the other days of the week, but you understand what I'm saying!)
How much time do I need to dedicate each week to this Summer Trip?
On average, this adventure should take you about 2-3 hours for each country each week. Now, if your children really love one of the games and play it for hours, that timing could change! But for my planning friends, 2-3 hours should allow you to get through all the activities without rushing.
Now, remember your included Travel Guide Book will help you see all the different activities you'll be doing for each country. On top of that, you can enjoy your entire adventure in 1 day or space it out over many days. You're in control of what activities happen when.
Is this Summer Trip REALLY comprehensive?
Yes! All the information you need to explore each country is included in the digital download packet. No additional books or information is required to enjoy your summer adventure.
What additional materials will I need?
Using a globe or a world map is highly recommended while taking your Adventure Around the World. If you don't have a physical globe or map handy, you can always look one up online.
Each country packet includes an assortment of crafts, recipes, and games specific to that country. We found it wan't possible to include the markers and yarn, the flour and rice in the digital download! However, you will find a complete list of all the materials and ingredients you'll need, full instructions, and any templates you'll need included in your packet.
What's included in the packet?
Each country packet is a downloadable PDF averaging 20 pages long. Packed full of facts and information that covers everything from capital cities to interesting and little known fun facts, this packet will help you explore each new place. Travel through the country with the included map while you check out fun geographical places as well as museums and monuments. Read a snippet of the history of each country, take a look at the people who live there, and check out some of the unique animals that call this corner of the world their home.
On top of that, each country includes a collection of crafts, games, recipes, and activities chosen with purpose to help you discover and experience your travel adventure in each particular country.

Despite this, the vehicle has enjoyed a reasonable level of sales and in 2010 spawned a second-generation model.
For the third-generation of its GX, Lexus is considering adopting a car-like unibody platform, which would make the GX more a crossover than a true SUV.
The latest information was revealed by Lexus' U.S. sales manager, Mark Templin, who recently spoke to Ward's Auto.
"There is a potential that at some point, when we replace the GX, we can have a car-based SUV," he said.
He also revealed that Lexus was contemplating switching the GX to a crossover platform for years but resisted due to the popularity of the existing body-on-frame design.
Reports of Lexus launching a seven-seat crossover have been circulating for several years now, but with most competitors offering similar vehicles, most recently Infiniti with the 2013 JX, a full-size crossover from Lexus is now back in the spotlight.
If Lexus is planning to turn its GX SUV into a crossover, we won't know for several years still as the third-generation GX isn't due anytime soon.
Another major departure for Lexus, according to Templin, is the possibility of turbocharged engines. He said Lexus engineers were investigating the use of turbochargers, along with other forms of forced induction, though he also explained that Lexus's naturally-aspirated engines were offering better performance and fuel economy than turbocharged engines offered by some rivals.

After a gutty and hard-fought win over Mac Danzig at UFC Fight Night 17: "Lauzon vs. Stephens" earlier this month, 25-year-old mixed martial arts veteran Josh Neer has inked a contract extension that will keep the lightweight dynamo with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) for an additional four fights.
Since posting a 2-3 record in the UFC, "The Dentist" won six of seven fights outside the promotion before returning to the Octagon and defeating Din Thomas by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 13. He followed that up with a split decision loss to Nate Diaz, but not before earning "Fight of the Night" in their three-round war at UFC Fight Night 15 back in September.
Neer, who promises "Win, lose or draw I'm going to bring it," would go on to nab his second straight "Fight of the Night" against Danzig, which no doubt prompted the UFC to hold on to the gritty warrior for his efforts inside the cage and his ability to electrify the crowd with his aggressiveness.
There was some initial concern about Neer's future inside the Octagon after being arrested last month in Des Moines, Iowa, under suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), following a New Year's Eve celebration.
Neer was also charged with eluding police and hit and run — he was accused of attempting to flee the scene of a two-car accident that he caused and leading local authorities on a 20 minute traffic chase.
Despite the charges, Neer promised the incident wouldn't affect his performance at Fight Night 17 ... and boy did he deliver. Now with the prospect of him fighting in a very deep and talented lightweight division, the fantasy match-ups can officially begin.
Special thanks to Chief Executive Officer of K.O. Dynasty Sports Management Mickey Dubberly for passing along the good news.

Dear Linda, Ramadan had showered upon you
Like morning dew, sprinkling and sparkling
Its blessings all around you, fomenting
The spiritual bounds in endless trounce, refreshing
Your soul, body and environment in a paramount bond.
"Taqwah", is the essence of this cosmos,
The moving spirit behind all that He created
Out of His infinite mercy, being "Al-Rahman"
Perpetuates His sustenance for all that you see;
He is "Al-Raheem" and His "Rahmah" knows no bound.
He prescribed "Sawm" for believers since time immemorial
For all ages and for Ummah that had passed,
Revealed the Qur'an, glorifying the month of Ramadan
Making Fasting obligatory to control our urges and keep them
Under moderation - the genesis of Taqwah elsewhere unfound -
The process to prefect man on earth when he obeys
His Creator and Sustainer with the freewill at his command
Enabling him to be in communion with this universe
That abides with Taqwah, the discipline of the cosmos,
Making man the "master of what he surveys" all around
At this juncture, the believer reaches the zenith of his glory
Of perfection, the sublime status of "servitude" to his Master,
Acquiring the position of "Abudiyah" to Allah
Coinciding the will of the slave with the will of the Creator,
Sawm in Ramadan, the surest way to attain that glorious end.

The Underground Railroad to Mexico
Slavery of Africans is a uniquely American story in many ways and without exception; there are intriguing tales of escape to accompany this tragic stretch of history. Mexico, now a place known for sunny vacations, was a desired safe harbor for many slaves escaping from far reaches of the United States. Texas was still a part of Mexico when the Mexican government abolished slavery in 1829. Once the Republic of Texas was formed in 1836, separate from Mexico, slavery was made legal again, which stayed consistent beyond the time Texas joined the Union in 1945.
Canada was the destination for many slaves who struck out for chilly northern parts, often thwarted, sent back in miserable conditions, or to save time and money, executed by lynching or other means. Those were destinies facing slaves who attempted escape to the south, as well, but there was very safe refuge in Mexico. There is strong evidence of tejanos (Mexicans in Texas) being the conductors of this southern route of the Underground Railroad. Many historical accounts have been recorded of brave people who were of great assistance to escapees.
Matilda Hicks, herself a former slave, married Nathaniel Jackson, the son of the owner of the plantation of which Matilda was kept. As a family, Matilda and Nathaniel were known to have moved from Alabama and settled near the Rio Grande in Texas, where they helped people cross the border. There's also evidence of a black woman and two white men who worked diligently to find homes for these southern bound refugees. A famous slave of Sam Houston, who was at the time president of the Republic of Texas, escaped to Mexico and joined the Mexican military to fight against Houston. Tom, as this slave was known, was one of the few escaped slaves where records exist of his journey, whereas few accounts were ever written down. Due to the high risk of being caught, sent back, or killed, secrecy was the order of the times. Studies verify support of slaves coming to Mexico not only from Texas, but also North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama.
It's clear that anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 people were freed from bondage by taking the route to Mexico; due to the lack of written statistics, the true figure is likely much higher. It is certainly an indication how censuses can result in incorrect statistics.
When the Fugitive Slave Act of 1950 was enacted to return slaves from northern states to their owners, the U.S. wanted Mexico to sign a similar treaty. Mexico, with their insistence that enslaved people were free once they crossed the border, refused to agree or sign any such document.

Insulin is expensive. Really expensive. Like hundreds-of-dollars per vial expensive. Expensive enough that some diabetes patients can't afford their monthly dose. And now Walmart, of all companies, is stepping in to make the drug a bit more affordable.
The retailer announced on Tuesday that it would be rolling out a budget version of analog insulin under its ReliOn label to adults and children with a prescription for the drug. Per Walmart's announcement, these private-label insulin vials will be available for about $73 each—and pre-filled FlexPen needles for about $86 each—at any Walmart pharmacy starting this week, with a wider rollout to Sam's Club pharmacies planned for mid-July. Considering how vials can cost anywhere between $150 to nearly $400 a pop, this could provide some relief for Americans.
Up until now, Walmart actually offered an even more budget-friendly insulin under the ReliOn label for about $25 a vial. But this cheaper version was based on an older, less-effective insulin formula that's garnered a fair share of criticism from doctors and diabetes advocates. More recent formulas—the so-called insulin analogs, like Walmart's new product—are more effective at preventing dangerous blood sugar swings among those with Type 1 diabetes, in particular.
Meanwhile, the number of people across the US with both forms of the disease will only continue to skyrocket. While there are slightly more than 34 million adults living with the disease across the country today, some researchers theorize that number could jump to more than 41 million by the time 2030 rolls around. And as those numbers keep climbing, so does the price of the insulin these people need to take to manage their disease. Recent numbers from the Health Care Cost Institute point out that the annual cost of insulin for people managing Type 1 diabetes in the US nearly doubled from $2,900 in 2012 to $5,700 in 2016. Meanwhile, lawmakers on both sides have grilled insulin manufacturers over these sky-high prices but have done virtually nothing to help.

How can I share my screen via Skype 5.3? The "+" menu contains only two item: adding another communication participant and changing the audio and video settings. Nothing about screen sharing. Is this feature still not implemented? This would be very bad, as screen sharing is crucial for me, and Skype 4.3 will stop working in 3 days.
Since this was posted, the Microsoft Skype has been caught up to match Skype for Windows in features and appearance. Has anyone tested this recently, to add new answers? Aug 27, 2019 at 19:26

Can you guys confirm Skype still doesn't support desktop sharing? Does Google Hangouts support desktop sharing? Oct 24, 2017 at 9:55
5Currently, terrible situation for Skype users with Linux... 16th Nov 2017, and today's skypeforlinux 126.96.36.199 does not support screen sharing, after skype 4.3 cutout. Nov 16, 2017 at 18:46
@rpmcruz, yes Google Hangouts does support desktop sharing– patbFeb 9, 2018 at 9:25
Today (August 2018) the linux client does not seem to be able to share the screen. At least I could not find a way to share my screen. I am unsure if it is possible to view the screen of an other skype user (who uses Windows).– guettliAug 30, 2018 at 13:41
https://appear.in/ now being replaced by https://whereby.com/ works for me on linux (fedora) in firefox, opera and google-chrome. It includes screen sharing, and in my experience is simpler and more effective than skypeforlinux. It uses peer to peer connections. I can't comment on security. It's free for basic use, but more facilities are available to subscribers who pay. I've used only the free service, including giving remote lectures with questions from the audience.

Photos from the last roll of Kodachrome
Published on 04/03/2011
On 22 June 2009, Kodak announced the end of Kodachrome production, citing declining demand. Photographer Steve McCurry persuaded Kodak to bequeath him the very last roll that came off the assembly line in Rochester, New York.
This historic final roll accompanied McCurry from Manhattan to India, Istanbul, London and back to New York. The photos are amazing. See all frames here and the story here.

3D Seismic Image of the Pulytyinskaya Ring Structure, West Siberia
- Publisher: European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers
- Source: Conference Proceedings, 3rd EAGE St.Petersburg International Conference and Exhibition on Geosciences - Geosciences: From New Ideas to New Discoveries, Apr 2008, cp-34-00059
A seismic 3D survey conducted in 2005-2007 in West Siberia has revealed a ring feature, which complicates the reflections from the very top to the bottom of the sedimentary cover. To identify the nature of the feature, horizontal and vertical slices across the feature, as well as maps of the major reflectors have been studied. Comparison of the data with existing images and results of case studies shows that the feature, with its 4.5 km diameter and a distinct central uplift, bears a strong resemblance to a classic complex impact crater. The structure is marked by a conic fault. The crater can be recognized on the remote sensing image and on the elevation map. The data represents the first-ever example of a full 3D seismic image of a terrestrial impact crater. Along with 3D seismic image of the Silverpit impact crater in the North Sea, the data on Pulytyinslaka ring structure marks a new era of quantitative studies of terrestrial impact craters.

4th July
15.4 miles
Warden Gulch (1098.3) to I70 (1113.7)
What is the Highest Point on the CDT?
Grays Peak is the Highest point on the CDT at 14278ft / 4352m. Grays Peak has an easy hiking trail to the summit. The biggest difficulties of the hike being the weather and altitude.
I'm not sure when the rain stopped last night. Everything was wet in the morning. I was packed and hiking well before Lucky. It was several miles of early morning road walking before I made it to the trailhead. Several thousand feet of elevation gain separated me from the highest point on the CDT, Grays Peak.
After the first long climb that took me to 13000ft I stopped to dry out my wet tent and gear. Lucky caught up. For the next 3 hours we traversed the ridges to Grays Peak. For the most part we were route finding on a trackless spine. It amazed me that the CDT is not even a trail up here. Some mountain goats appeared from nowhere. We followed them. They led us to the main trail that all the day hikers use to climb the mountain. We were climbing the mountain from the difficult, almost inaccessible route called the CDT.
Lucky and I dropped our packs on the main trail and almost ran to the top. Our bodies being so used to carrying backpacks. It felt superhuman to be nearly running up this 14000ft mountain. The thin air not bothering us. We chatted as we hiked to the summit, passing several winded day hikers.
On the 4th July we reached the summit of the highest point in the CDT. 14278 Feet. It's all downhill from here to Canada.
We descended to the carpark very quickly. My old hiking buddy Crunchmaster was there waiting for me with his brother. He was getting back on trail. We were reunited to hike the trail together again. Thomas, Crunchmasters brother took us to the nearby town of Idaho Springs where we all demolished a pizza and beer. Then back to the trailhead to continue our hike. It was great to be back hiking with Crunchmaster.

Five Goals Every Employer Should Make for 2021
The start of the new year signifies a time of reflection, changes, and improvement. Many people think about setting personal goals in January like eating healthier, having more appreciation, or reading more. But what about setting goals at your company or organization? If you're an employer, below we have provided you with five goals you should consider making in 2021. 1. Learn to be more adaptable. This goal is an obvious one with the looming corona virus pandemic. With many people still working from home and many businesses and organizations taking huge hits, it's important for your company to be able to adapt during a health/economic crisis. If your company has been struggling with remote working or closures, analyze your current business model in the new year and determine if:
Your model allows you to adapt to a more remote environment?
Are you able to provide your product/service through an e-commerce platform?
Do you have revenue set aside in case of an emergency?
What steps are you going to take when equipment goes down?
Are your employees familiar with the technology?
2. Being more open to remote work. There's mixed opinion about this goal. Some people loved the switch from working in the office to home and others not so much. If you have some employees that would love to continue working from home after the pandemic think about:
What would it look like if they continued working full-time from home? If you're still feeling hesitant, would you be okay with part-time?
Creating a more in-depth, concrete communication plan with remote workers going forward.
How will you maintain your company culture with those who are working from home verses those in the office?
Also keep in mind that those who apply to future openings at your company may be asking more and more about remote working options. If you don't have these options set-up or available, you could steer amazing candidates away.
3. Improving employee mental health and wellness.
The pandemic brought on huge stress to many employers and employees. From adjusting to working from home, remote learning with kids, the number of rising COVID-19 cases, etc., companies need to get better at providing mental health and wellness support for their employees when they need it. This means providing more tools and resources for staff on how to improve their well-being, encouraging employees take mental health days, helping members of your company communicate more about their concerns, etc.
4. Creating better employee engagement.
How are you going to maintain engagement among your staff, especially for those who live alone? We don't know how long this pandemic will last, so if engagement is low among your staff, those who are alone will feel even more isolated. Schedule casual ZOOM meetings with your employees or encourage staff to reach out to one another, as a starting point.
5. Updating your company perks.
Your employees' needs will change if they are working from home. For example, you can review your company's benefit package to ensure it has more mental health and wellness options for when your staff is feeling burnt out. Including something like this will also go beyond our current pandemic situation and will boost positivity and morale in the company.

New Talkspace study reveals effectiveness of delivering therapy via text messaging
Participants experienced improved psychological well-being in three months, with higher satisfaction given convenience, affordability and real-time accessibility of care
25 Jun, 2015, 10:01 ET
NEW YORK, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Talkspace (http://www.talkspace.com), the global web and mobile platform connecting people with licensed therapists, reveals today the results from the first study of its kind, A Preliminary Study of Talkspace's Text-based Psychotherapy, in assessing the effectiveness of delivering therapy via text messaging. The study, which investigated the outcome measures of both improvement in psychological well-being and the strength of the client-therapist working alliance, found preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of using Talkspace's method of text-based therapy.
Talkspace's study, which assessed the impact of texting as a medium for delivering therapy, adds to the growing body of research around the efficacy and efficiency of online therapy. In 2013, clinical researchers from the University of Zurich used text-based therapy to determine whether or not psychotherapy via internet was as good as face-to-face consultations. The results of the groundbreaking study actually demonstrated that online therapy can be better than face-to- face, and provided further scientific evidence of the equal value of Internet-based psychotherapy, affirming other results, including a study revealing that CBT seems to be effective when delivered online in real time by a therapist, with benefits if maintained over 8 months.
Talkspace's study concerned a sample size of 58 participants who assessed services during the range of 12-16 weeks into therapy. The study measured the impact that texting therapy had on symptom reduction, the quality of the relationship that individuals built with their therapists, the cost-effectiveness of Talkspace services in comparison to traditional therapy, the ease of accessibility to get therapy, and the satisfaction with Talkspace's services as a whole.
Results from this study include findings such as:
- Participants reported experiencing significantly greater well-being after 3.86 months of text therapy, than before they started.
- Talkspace text therapy was estimated to be ⅓ the cost of traditional therapy to achieve effective treatment results
- Scores measuring the therapeutic alliance (patient-provider relationship) were comparable to those found in traditional treatment settings.
- Users reported higher satisfaction with Talkspace compared to traditional therapy in areas concerning convenience, affordability, and getting help when needed.
"Talkspace is democratizing mental health care and offers the opportunity to deliver treatment directly to millions of people," said Oren Frank, CEO of Talkspace. "There have been significant barriers to getting access to therapy and that's resulted in the global mental health crisis we're aiming to address. The results from our first study reaffirms our method of delivering therapy, and we are committed to working alongside world-renowned universities and partners to develop further research around this model."

Prestigious partnership for Vaccibody
Oslo Cancer Cluster member Vaccibody is entering into a clinical collaboration with the American biopharmaceutical company Nektar Therapeutics.
The aim of the collaboration is to explore positive effects from the combination of Vaccibody's personalized cancer vaccine VB10.NEO and Nektar Therapeutics cancer drug NKTR-214. Pre-clinical results of the combination are very positive and the collaboration will mark the start of a clinical trial stage.
The clinical trials will include patients with head and neck cancer and initially involve 10 patients.
What is Nektar?
Nektar Therapeutics is not just any company when it comes to immunotherapy. At Nasdaq their market value is set as high as 10 billion dollars.
– For a year now, Nektar might be the most talked about company within immunotherapy and this winter they landed the largest deal of its kind with Bristol Meyers-Squibb (BMS), says Agnete Fredriksen, President and Chief Scientific Officer, in an interview with Norwegian newspaper Finansavisen.
Help more patients
BMS and Nektar started collaborating on the development of the immunotherapy drug NKTR-214, the same drug that is part of the collaboration with Vaccibody, with a potential worth of 3.6 billion dollars.
– That they want to work with us is a nice validation of Vaccibody and makes us able to help even more cancer patients. We hope the combination of our products will lead to even better treatments, Agnete Fredriksen says to Finansavisen.
More about Vaccibody's cancer vaccine
Nektar and Vaccibody each will maintain ownership of their own compounds in the clinical collaboration, and the two companies will jointly own clinical data that relate to the combination of their respective technologies. Under the terms of the agreement and following the completion of the pilot study, the two companies will evaluate if they will take the partnership to the next stage.

Five starts into his final collegiate season, USF left-hander Shane McClanahan remains as close to flawless as one can reasonably expect.
Before a sparse USF Baseball Stadium audience featuring roughly a dozen scouts, McClanahan struck out a career-best 15 in six innings, and combined with 6-foot-7 right-hander Carson Ragsdale for a no-hitter in Friday's 12-0 rout of Army (7-10).
"He was pretty special tonight," said Bulls coach Billy Mohl, whose club (13-6) has won six in a row.
It was the first combined no-hitter in program history, and only the fourth overall. McClanahan, a redshirt sophomore shaping up as a potential No. 1 overall pick in this summer's big-league draft, now has worked 30 2/3 innings this year without surrendering an earned run.
He tossed 91 pitches, fanning the last eight batters he faced, and finished two strikeouts shy of USF's single-game record. He struck out the side three times as his fastball periodically hit the upper-90s.
Mohl said there was no thought to sending him back out in the seventh with American Athletic Conference play set to begin next weekend against Connecticut.
"He just had his stuff," Mohl said. "His fastball was exploding, they were having a hard time seeing it, it was moving, and he threw a ton of strikes. He had (three) walks he's not happy about and neither am I, but he was pretty efficient."
Related: McClanahan's draft projection keeps climbing
Ragsdale, a Bishop McClaughlin alumnus, struck out seven and walked two over the final three innings. The Bulls collected 13 hits and got home runs from juniors Garrett Zech and Joe Genord. Zech, who hit a two-run triple in the Bulls' six-run first, finished a double shy of hitting for the cycle.

Every so often, we have a wedding at a venue we haven't shot at before. Let's be real here, there are hundreds of wedding venues in southeastern Pennsylvania, so there will always be ones we haven't shot at before. There are some though, that we salivate over at the prospect of working at. Drumore Estate is one of those venues. They only host a few handfuls of weddings each year and they always fill up fast. Their grounds are beautiful and staff is excellent. If Christelle and I were planning our wedding all over again, Drumore Estate would be on our short list of venues. What also made this wedding awesome was that we got to work with Patrick and Heather again. I shot their engagement session at Longwood Gardens back in the Fall and couldn't wait until their big day. They are laid back and were willing to do whatever we suggested for their pictures. We met up with the ladies at the salon in the morning and then it was off to Drumore for the rest of prep. They had a beautiful ceremony, fun cocktail hour, and rocking reception. DJ Edge made sure everyone had a good time all night long. If you follow our work, even just on occasion, you'll know we love silhouettes, reflections, and colorful skies. When we get to shoot all three in one shot, we get a little excited.
Patrick and Heather, thanks for being awesome and having us be a part of your big day. It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you the best.
If you are planning a wedding at Drumore Estate, or would like more information on Nathan Desch Photography, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us HERE

'Singha Estate' unveils its business plan in the second half of 2020 to cope with the COVID-19 crisis and maintains the steady financial positioning, which will drive the company forward with the five-year investment plan and 68-billion- baht budget. The company will concentrate on developing a new business model under the "New Living & Working Cluster" concept in potential locations to serve changing consumer demand and investment in the New Normal era, and developing Smart M&A to build portfolio for sustainable growth in harmony with local communities well-being and environmental conservation.
Mr. Naris Cheyklin, Chief Executive Officer of Singha Estate Public Company Limited or "S" reveals about the company's business direction in the second half of 2020 that although the overall property market faces challenges from the COVID-19 crisis, Singha Estate will continue to invest 68 billion baht under its five-year business plan (2020-2024) and follow sustainable growth strategy. To adapt with the current situation, the company has revised down its 2020 revenue target by 50% and expects its business will recover in the fourth quarter of this year.
"The company hopes the COVID-19 crisis will eventually end soon. We see many business opportunities and potential investments arising along with the economic improvement. We will consider investment suitability under the strict M&A criteria to have quality asset that will create added value in the future," he said.
"Therefore, we will keep building our three core business units as long term planned. For the residential and commercial businesses, we will penetrate new locations and develop quality projects under the "New Living & Working Cluster" Business model concept to respond to the New Normal trend, while the hospitality business will generate additional incomes and grows business sustainably with Smart M&A and Asset Light Model. With these business practices, we aim to recover and will also support our business partners to overcome the crisis together. Our business philosophy is to enrich life value for all stakeholders and build sustainable growth along with quality society and environmental conservation,".
During the COVID-19 crisis, the company has undergone its efficient financial management, maintaining a low net interest bearing debt to equity ratio at 0.86 times. This came from the listing of S Hotels & Resorts Plc on the Stock Exchange of Thailand late last year, and the sale of Suntowers' 30-year lease rights into S Prime Growth Leasehold Real Estate Investment Trust (SPRIME REIT), making the company ready to invest and expand business as expected. Furthermore, the company has plans to strengthen its financial positioning in the future by transferring rights of Metropolis Building and Sun Plaza into REIT and issuing bonds when the market is favorable.
Grow sustainably and follow five-year business plan
Singha Estate will build its sustainable growth, carrying on its five-year business plan with the 68-billion-baht budget. For the residential business, the company currently has an inventory of units valued about 1-2 billion baht, hence it can implement a sale policy that can maintain a good profit margin for its projects. In the second half of this year, the 6.5-billion-baht ESSE Sukhumvit 36 whose sales is 60%, will be completed and start the ownership transfer to customers in the third quarter. About 3-4 new residential projects will be launched with expansion more on low rise residential segment. For the next four years, the company will keep the target to launch 5-7 new projects per year as planned.
For the commercial business, Singha Estate still set its target to grow its total office space to 300,000 square meters over the next five years. During the COVID-19 outbreak, this business unit has slight impact as most tenants are leading companies. To adapt to new normal trends, the company will upgrade hygiene standards and facilities by installing Touchless Solution and UV in the air-conditioning system to serve its tenants. It will reach out new potential tenants such as those in the high growth sectors of E-commerce, technology, and consumer products.
For the hospitality business, the company through SHR will promote its hotels in domestic and inter-region tourist markets during the second half of this year to next year. SHR has plans to acquire hotels in Asia Pacific and expand the hotel portfolio to 80 hotels over the next five years from 39 hotels currently.
Mr. Naris noted that apart from the planned investment, Singha Estate will expand the development of residential projects and office buildings into new potential locations with the "New Living and Working Clusters" business model to accommodate the change of customer behavior in the future.
The company sees opportunities to develop residential projects in new potential areas along the expansion of mass transit systems and road networks. The low-rise projects with mix-used concept including single house, townhouse, retail, and low-rise office as well as wellness residential project will be new opportunities that can come up soon.
Meanwhile, the company believes there is future office demand in various format and it is ready to serve tenants with "Work Space Solution" – flexible space solutions in different locations including large building, medium-sized building, or low-rise building as well as co-working space in new locations. The workspace solutions will be equipped with IT system. The company plans to launch this new concept of workspace at Sun Towers late this year to facilitate tenants who want to have office space that can provide the highest efficiency.
SHR to build quality hotel portfolio with Smart M&A and Asset Light Model strategy
SHR plans to grow its hospitality business in a long term and foresees that the tourism industry will recover progressively from quarter this year in Thailand and countries with good healthcare system and controllable infection rate. Even though the hospitality industry has been hardly affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, its business opportunities still arise. The company will move on with Smart M&A strategies by acquiring hotels that are in popular tourist destinations, enhance asset potential and recycle capital through the sale of hotel properties to REITs or buyers who offer good value. In addition, it will also pursue the Asset Light Model by generating additional income through home grown brands, including a new brand expected to be launch soon. The program will commence late this year or in 2021. Currently, SHR has already launched SAii, its first home-grown hotel brand, with a flagship opening in CROSSROADS Maldives.
"SHR targets to double our hotel portfolio from 39 properties around the world to 80 within the next five years. We focus on providing unique experiential offerings to our guests and creating sustainable growth. Our new home-grown hotel brand will be launched soon to generate additional incomes under the Asset Light Model and increase the portfolio without heavy investment," Mr. Dirk De Cuyper, Chief Executive Officer of S Hotels & Resorts Plc, addressed.
Reaffirm Global Holding Company, diversify to new business, and enrich life value
In addition, Singha Estate reaffirms its strategy as Global Holding Company as planned in 2020. It also sees investment opportunities in new business that is a renewable energy with the 5-megawatt project in Maldives. This is considered the starting point of the company in environmental conservation.
For the branding strategy, the company aims "Singha Estate" to be most trusted brand, aside from the development of highest quality project, it has adopted expertise in sustainability, which began building since the company's establishment and is now widely accepted especially in the environmental conversation and promotion of quality of life. This will create business competitive advantages for Singha Estate and upgrade services of the entire business to meet global hygiene and safety standards.
"Singha Estate business philosophy is to take care all stakeholders, support business partners, and create quality society. During crisis, we cooperate with the government and join hands with other companies to fight the COVI-19 pandemic. Importantly, we also support local communities where we operate our business and to help them survive through the COVID-19 crisis with strength and stability," Mr. Naris concluded.

Pink Floyd are removing some of their catalog from digital music platforms in Russia and Belarus, the band announced today. "To stand with the world in strongly condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the works of Pink Floyd, from 1987 onwards, and all of David Gilmour's solo recordings are being removed from all digital music providers in Russia and Belarus from today," they wrote.
The musical output that will disappear from Russian and Belarusian platforms includes the Pink Floyd studio albums A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987), The Division Bell (1994), and The Endless River (2014). Gilmour has also released four solo studio albums in his career, the most recent one being 2015's Rattle That Lock.
Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Gilmour and the band for more information.
Earlier this month, Gilmour showed his support for Ukraine with a message on Twitter: "Russian soldiers, stop killing your brothers. There will be no winners in this war. My daughter-in-law is Ukrainian and my grand-daughters want to visit and know their beautiful country. Stop this before it is all destroyed. Putin must go."
Roger Waters, who left Pink Floyd in 1985, has also condemned Russia and President Vladimir V. Putin's invasion of Ukraine. "I am disgusted by Putin's invasion of Ukraine, it is a criminal mistake in my opinion, the act of a gangster, there must be an immediate ceasefire," he wrote in an open letter to a Ukrainian fan this week. "I will do anything I can to help effect the end of this awful war in your country, anything that is except wave a flag to encourage the slaughter."

Demos are a rarity these days. If there's a game that you're looking forward to trying before buying, then you're out of luck 90% of the time as developers aren't exactly interested in doing anything beyond a open beta before launch. Not so with Final Fantasy XV, as Square Enix is looking to keep the momentum rolling before the September 30 launch of the latest in the Roman numeral series with a small taste of what's to come.
That's where the Platinum demo comes into play. Free and open for all, it's a 4.5 gigabyte download that is more of a technical showcase than an actual gameplay experience. But it's still something to gawk at. I mean, just look at it in action:
It's a tech demo, a display of pride in the XV's visuals–which are, admittedly, impressive. Light and shadow play across Noctis' face as he moves through the dreamscape. Animal fur ruffles in a light breeze. Crystals glimmer radioactively and every freckle, every dimple can be seen when we zoom in on our hero. It looks gorgeous.
Don't have time to watch? Well here's the rundown. You're playing as the child version of Final Fantasy XV protagonist Noctis, who happens to be in the deepest of sleeps right now because reasons. Something is keeping you from waking up, but luckily, you've got a dream guide in the form of series staple Carbuncle to help you out of this pinch.
The Platinum demo is a standalone experience, something that you won't see in the final game. And it shows. Combat is light until a boss encounter at the very end where you can dip into a proper arsenal that isn't dependent on toy swords on squeaky hammers. It's a bit of a deep dive for anyone who never picked up the Duscae demo but it shows potential as an iron steroid rage giant with a sword the size of a supermarket pummels you, and is one hell of a teaser until September.
But technically? Final Fantasy XV is quite a marvel. I played it on the Xbox One, but the effects were gorgeous. Watching the weather change when plates were stepped on, impressively flawless character models, clothing that doesn't feel like it has bonded to your skin and some cool magical effects. The environments themselves are gorgeous, an interactive piece of art even.
It's a quick demo however, so brace yourselves. It's easily clockable in under half an hour, although a few secrets will lengthen your interest. Possibly. That, and you can name Carbuncle as an exclusive summon when Final Fantasy XV ships. Just like I did:
It's a small taste of what's to come, but it does taste delicious so far.

Marketing high‐tech products in emerging markets: the differential impacts of country image and country‐of‐origin's image
Journal of Product & Brand Management
Article publication date: 23 August 2011
The pupose of this paper is to investigate consumers' behavior in emerging countries. In particular, it simultaneously assesses the effects of country image and country‐of‐origin's image on consumers' uncertainty, aspiration and purchasing intention of high‐tech products.
Based on a sample of 479 Chinese consumers, structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships.
Results show that compared to country‐of‐origin, country's image is a more effective tool in reducing consumers' uncertainty and increasing their aspiration to purchase high technology products. Contrary to country's image, however, country‐of‐origin's image plays a considerable role in influencing the product image.
Research limitations/implications
The major role of a country‐of‐origin is to influence product image while that of country's image is to increase consumers' aspiration to acquire its product and diminish their uncertainty and hesitation about buying the product. In other words, the image of a product is much more prone to the effect of country‐of‐origin's image than country's image.
Practical implications
Marketers should understand that consumers in emerging countries are ambivalent when they consider the purchase of complex products. On the one hand, highlighting the country image can contribute in alleviating consumers' uncertainty and increasing their aspiration to purchase sophisticated and complex products. On the other hand, promoting the country‐of‐origin's image can prove an effective means to improve product image in emerging markets.
Most of the previous studies have focused on one of the two concepts (i.e. country's image or country‐of‐origin), interchangeably used both of them, and relatively ignored their simultaneous impact on consumer behavior. The present study has tried to address this shortfall through simultaneously studying their influences on product image and consumer purchase intention; and highlighting their differential impacts.

After sleeping well in the 8-bed room (they apparently have nicer more expensive rooms too, but this was good for me), I had some breakfast at the very good B&B Les Ninouninettes. The weather was splendid this day too, but would get more hot later on. A nice little wheeling down to Montferrier (691m) and then the climb directly starts to Col de Montségur/Col du Tremblement (1059m) (which is also a BIG climb). The climb is not very hard or long, but it is famous for the castle/fortification (ruins) built on the mountain here (it had previously a fortress by the Cathars later destroyed by Catholics/the royal French army).
In the days before airplanes, a mountain like this would seem a good place for making it easy to defend a group of people and maybe a hidden treasure. The other side down from pass was along road all filled with a thick layer of gravel on the asphalt (popular in the eastern French Pyrenees I later realised). I was lucky to get down to Bélesta (504m) without a flat or accident. I went into the village for an early stop. Got a coca-cola and simple ice cream and then went back a bit to climb the next pass, which was Col de la Croix des Morts (899m).
Col de la Croix des Morts is very much a one-sided pass and only a step on the way to higher passes to the south.
In Belcaire I found an open grocery and you basically have to stop at every such place as they are far between out here in the countryside. There are many villages (nearly all it seems like) without anything at all. Hillbilly country as I said to myself, but it is the way of modern society – still the situation is quite different in Italy and Spain for example. Some say it is because in those countries they do not pay taxes, but I wonder and even if so, then maybe they should not have to pay taxes (or only to the local community). The man in the shop and was apparently cycling a lot himself (which I also would have done if living in this area).
From Belcaire it is a short distance up to Col des Sept Frères (1253m), which is located at a crossroad. I went down the other side (very short descent before the main road continues up to Col de Marmare (1364m)).
My main interest in the area apart from Col de Montségur, was the paved, but one-sided Col du Teil (1628m) pass, which is one of the highest passes in the Pyrenees I have not previously visited. Here I am up (a bit above the actual pass at 1644m as that is where the asphalt road at the pass ends, with a gravel stretch along the way) and walked a few metres in the grass to get a better view. There is a gravel road below crossing the pass and going down the other side, but thinks it might be a bit to rough for a road bike.
I went back down the same way as it was quicker even if going in the same direction. The road to Col du Teil is a bit steep especially at first, but it is not so long. Here I am looking back over the Comus area where a gravel road goes down to Bélesta and would have been a great road up here if all asphalted (think it is popular with mountain bike riders). This Col du Teil road is also mostly frequented by mountain bikers.
Back at Col des Sept Frères I took the third road here to Niort-de-Sault in the nice valley leading up to Col du Pradel (1673m) where I have been before. Instead I continued down and took the next road up east down the valley. The road climbs a bit steep at first but is then up on another big plain there crossing Col de la Serre (947m) before arriving at Col Notre Dame (951m) marking the high point over to the next valley. Had 37°C up here and it was going to get even hotter in the days to come.
From there I descended a nice road via Col du Castel/Château (658m) to the deep valley of the Gorges de l'Aude. Now the weather did not look too good, but anyway I was going down here. The road was not very good and some other cyclists had stopped as one of them had got a flat tyre. There was light rain now and I still did not find any place to stop at since Belcaire. Down at the crossroad for the next pass to climb, the Coll/Col de Jau (1506m) the weather looked really ominous up the mountains there and I had no hope of finding any restaurant or grocery along that road to stop at either. As the weather clearly looked good down I decided to continue down to Axat (402m) to get a coffee and cake at a pastry shop there and see if the weather might get better up in the mountains.
Here below the turn-off for Coll/Col de Jau at Gorges de St-Georges where the weather looked fine.
I went back up and it seemed like the weather was better, but as I started out on the climb to Coll/Col de Jau I did not even manage to get up to the first little village Ste Colombe sur Guette before I had terrible rain that I might have avoided if I had not went down to Axat, but who knows, maybe I just had gotten more if I had gone up earlier. So when I reached the village it was too late to search for cover and I just continued and the rain also stopped again as I came up above the village.
Usually the second day on tours like mine is the worst day and on the way up the long road to Coll/Col de Jau I got really tired and also bitten by horse flies several times and it was a real problem here (had much problems with those stinging insects during the first week or so). On the long last climb up to the pass I decided I had to stop for a rest and felt embarrassed as that almost never happen, even if the thought is often there. I think it was at the first hairpin at 1205m, but there were lots of stinging flies here too, so had soon to get going again after like 5 minutes of rest.
On the last little way up it started to feel better again as I knew it was going to be the last climb for the day. The original plan had included one more pass though, but there was no chance for that now. In the photo above I just reached the pass and this was the most obvious pass missing in my list of climbed passes in the Pyrenees before this year. This is one of the true classic major pass climbs in the Pyrenees, but now that was done (at least from the classic west side).
No more stinging insects and only a nice descent in good weather! I had hoped to stay somewhere up the mountainside and asked at two places on the way down to Prades. The first place was no longer an auberge as the sign said, but only a restaurant and they referred me to a place up on the side of the mountain, but it did not look so good up there and was not sure the detour would be worthwhile as I guessed I could find more places further down the road. Asked at the next little hotel, but it was fully booked and they referred me to a hotel down in Prades, but must have looked the wrong way as I missed it upon entering Prades.
In Prades I thought it should be easy to find a place to stay at, but first I did not find anything and after asking was directed to some strange religious place that did not seem open. Asked some other people and they again mentioned the same hotel as mentioned before, but again I did not find the ay and only saw the hotel they said I should avoid at all costs (and so I did). Reluctantly I left Prades after more than half an hour circling around there and continued on my way toward Perpignan.
Again I thought I had seen some places on Google maps to stay at along the main road, but now I did not find anything. It was starting to get late so decided I have to find some place and went into Vinça where a couple directed me to a nearby B&B which I again did not find. I went to a take-away pizzeria and asked there and they actually googled up one place just outside (guess I could have done so myself, but slightly unsure of how to search there and also it was good getting help on directions). It was a place outside near the village Joch 2 km away and got a pizza with me and arrived just as it started to get dark and a lady waving at me as I was about to miss the house there too (but knew I was close). Very good B&B and got some fruits and beer in the evening. Much better than staying at a hotel. Cannot see it on Google maps, but it is on the road from Vinça centre to Joch near Joch.

Quiz, Test, Homework, Class
What Are The Benefits Of Using Our Services?
How to be Productive in Between Classes
You could still be productive even during the short breaks in between your classes. We've asked several university students on what they usually do, and we've listed the best ones that can help you.
Review Your Notes
You can always review your lessons and take a quick glimpse of your notes. You see, when you do this regularly, the concepts will stick better and you do not have to spend hours studying the night before your exam. This is more effective than cramming.
Grab a Snack
Use this time to fuel up once again. But make wise choices. Instead of getting chips and soda, go for a healthier snack. Remember, college can be exhausting and you need to eat nutritious food so you will stay in shape.
Work on Your Resume
One of the common mistakes most college students commit is that they only work on their resume once they finish their degree. But experts recommend building yours as early as possible. See if you have listed all the conferences and events you attended, together with your achievements.
You do not have to furnish it right away. But constantly updating your resume has its benefits. At least you have it all ready whenever you find a potential job role.
Call Up Your Families and Friends
When you live hours away from your families and friends, it's natural to feel homesick. But that doesn't mean you should go home, right?
You can use the spare time to call them up. Have a quick video call and ask your mom to give you a tour of your home. These simple things can keep you sane amidst all the reports and term papers you have to complete for the semester.
Start Working on Your Homework
If you have a paper due two weeks from now, we suggest doing your research as early as you can. You can use the time in between your classes to do it. Visit the library and search online. At least you can prepare an outline and draft your initial paper. You would realize that completing your homework is so much easier when you do a few subtasks in advance.
Have a Quick Workout
Instead of just killing time browsing through your social media, make it even more productive by working out. You can even run around the school grounds and you are all set. A quick brisk walk should do you good as well.
Take a Power Nap
It's also the best time to take a power nap. But make sure that you set your alarm to a maximum of 20 minutes. If you sleep longer than that, you might experience sleep inertia. That would be harder to gain momentum and you would feel extra sluggish.
If you had a stressful class, then use the short break to meditate. There are breathing techniques that you can follow. Or perhaps, do a bit of yoga at a nearby park. Your mental health is important, and you must give importance to it.
Meet Your Professors
You can also take advantage of your professor's office hours. If you have questions, make sure to approach during that period. At least you get to clarify your concerns, and it is always a good idea to introduce yourself personally to them. Who knows if they could be your mentor?
Finish Your Online Course
You should also take the initiative to learn more. Thus, if you have time and means to get online courses, that would be good too. More often than not, you can take these classes whenever you are convenient. The short breaks could be the perfect fit.
Search for Potential Jobs
Who says you are too early to scout for a job? During your free time or short breaks, you can take a look at job openings. Online job hunting could also give you an idea of what most employers look for an applicant. That way, you can strengthen the required skills and have leverage when you apply.
As a college student, it is a good practice that you know how to make good life choices. You can start by identifying productive activities even during your small breaks. Sooner or later, you will realize that you have formed a better habit. And eventually, you can use that once you started working for real.

The history of music being made by The Artists Formerly Known As Anything At All, Frankly is checkered to say the least. Even aside from the most obvious example, it's probably no accident that we've yet to see a significant critical appraisal of Rain Tree Crow, while it took Soft Parade until album number three to rediscover their pre-Electric crackle, and, of course, the less said about The Verve the better. What hope, then, for the band who've had to fight off the pointing litigous fingers of America's hardly-a-household-name Pivot, especially given that they themselves would have to admit that there were always several significantly twinklier stars in the Warp firmament?
Obviously, a great leap forward would help no end, and it's fairly clear from very early on in the proceedings here that there's been something of a rethink. While previous Pivot performances had a tendency towards seriousness bordering on the stentorian, this is a far more inviting proposition all round. Of course, Richard Pike's vocals are always going to ensure that the atmosphere's never wholly free from ominousness – he does, after all, often continue to appear wrapped in a cartoon cloud of mid-to-late-80s doomy devilment – but this is an unusually, appealingly roundedly, characterful affair, tripping lightly over an unexpected range of touchstones. There are a number of occasions, for instance, where he's channelling Violator-age Gahan (an oddly ill-mined but amenably well-judged seam), and his deployment of sudden distracted falsetto takes him into territory currently occupied to stellar effect by Active Child. Even the point at which he brings to mind nothing so much as Nik Kershaw's so-much-stuff-to-say protestations has a certain charm.
It probably helps that such dabbling in the absurd is in fact far from a singular judgmental lurch. From this album's very title down, there's a sense that while they've thankfully avoided the temptation to plunge into a quagmire of inadvisable irony, PVT have come to agree with that wise chestnut about ridicule being nothing to be scared of and leapt recklessly for the drama buttons as a result. 'Light Up Bright Fires' is a terrific example of this, with Laurence sounding as if his drums have been placed into a shopping trolley while the keyboards get steadily more embarrassed about their electro hiccups. 'Timeless', too, thrives on a squelchy chassis of skating-round-the-floor-on-cushions belches over which Richard draws ever closer in some sort of heroic cave escape. And then there's 'Window', which betrays a surprise pop instinct of sorts via its ZTT masked ball synthetic strings and then goes and betrays that with an unwarned breakdown akin to the point at which the beats in Moby's 'Thousand' finally blur into inaudibilty that leads directly to a Cowell-terrifying key change.
And even when they're not playing peculiar games with what ought to have been straightforward songs, PVT still refuse to let their newfound sense of mischief and wonder desert them. That's the promise evident in opener 'Community'. Although it is to all intents and purposes instrumental, it manages to bid a cheery welcome via billowing and burbling techno, passing Gregorian insistence and a general notion that it's actually but the unveiling of the fireworks, It's compellingly built upon in 'Waves & Radiation', which is as close as they get to homaging any of their labelmates, drawing as it does on the wonkily accessed hauntological juvenilia of Boards Of Canada at their finest and the unphased, askew beauty of some of Aphex's ambient excursions.
Alright, so perhaps PVT could have leaned even more heavily on the clanging-over-cleverness motif of their finest moments here, and, a little frustratingly, there's still the feeling that they're edging their way towards an identity rather than being an entirely cohesive presence just yet. Nonetheless, Church With No Magic has opened up the perception of enigma and the possibility of endurance for them, and that, in itself, is quite the turn of events.
