Speaker: Jill Kaufman, PhD
Date: Tuesday, November 12 at 2:00 PM
Location: Genesis UMC, Room 212
Everyone's journey in widowhood is unique. However, many widows and widowers would like to eliminate dates from the calendar from around mid-November to February 15. Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas are packed with traditions to navigate. Couple holidays such as New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Valentine's Day have their own challenges. How do you get through those first holidays without your spouse? What are some ideas for handling the holidays in widowhood? How does one prepare for anniversaries and other significant life events related to widowhood?
This presentation will share ideas from other widows and widowers including their strategies on how they navigated the holidays.
Jill Kaufman, PhD taught technology classes during her career at IBM. She became a widow in 2015 and as part of her journey studied widowhood books and exchanged ideas with many in widowhood. Jill has presented on widowhood at a Hospice Grief center and has been involved with a widowhood ministry for 3 years.

In fact, the first block of bitcoin's blockchain was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009, so yesterday marked 12 years since then.
According to CoinMarketCap's data, the maximum price recorded yesterday was $34,608, the only time in history when it exceeded $34,000.
Moreover, the previous record dates back to the day before, January 2, when for the first time it exceeded $30,000 even touching $33,100.
It should be noted that this is not only a price record against the dollar, but also against gold.
The price of gold is not currently at an all-time high, although it is close. The all-time high occurred on August 6, 2020, when it exceeded $2,000. Now, however, it is just above $1,900.
According to Market Watch data, yesterday the price of BTC reached an all-time high of 18.1 XAU, or ounces of gold. For example, during the speculative bubble in late 2017 it had barely exceeded 10 XAU, while by mid-2019 it was back around 8 XAU.
During 2020 the price of bitcoin had more or less always fluctuated between 5 and 6 XAU, but starting in November it began a fast and mighty ascent that brought it up to yesterday's record high.
On the other hand, it is well known that the volatility of bitcoin is considerably higher than that of gold, the latter also known for an average reduced volatility.
Bitcoin, the historical high drags the altcoins
It should also be noted that in recent days, and in particular yesterday, some altcoins have recorded significant price increases.
In particular ETH has gained more than 30% in just one day, moving above $1,000. This is not an all-time high, as this was recorded on January 13, 2018 at $1,432, but it is still a historic result, as it was right from January of that year that it had not been able to return to these levels.
Litecoin (LTC) is also growing strongly, as well as Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK).
However, Polkadot (DOT) had the biggest growth, which, after growing by almost 80% in the last week, stopped yesterday at +6%.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is launching a web-based discussion forum to gather public input on how the agency can improve protection of drinking water.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is launching a web-based discussion forum to gather public input on how the agency can improve protection of drinking water. The information will be used in implementing EPA's new drinking water strategy announced by Administrator Lisa P. Jackson in March.
"We look forward to reviewing the ideas and feedback from the public," said Peter S. Silva, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Water. "This online discussion is for anyone who wants to share their input on protecting drinking water and improving public health."
EPA seeks input from water professionals, advocates, and anyone interested in drinking water quality issues about best solutions for issues facing our nation's drinking water—planning, developing scientific tools, controlling water pollution and use of resources.
The discussion forum will feature a series of topics based on the four segments of the drinking water strategy: addressing contaminants as groups rather than one at a time, fostering development of new technologies, using the existing authority of several statues to protect drinking water, and partnering with states to share more complete data.
The forum will be open for discussion for about a month, with each topic area being discussed separately. Addressing contaminants as groups will also be discussed separately at a web-based meeting at the end of July.
To join the discussion: http://blog.epa.gov/dwstrat

Congratulations to Dr Tania King
Dr Tania King has received an Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) from the Australian Research Council.
Tania King's research into adolescents' health and well-being will continue with a new project Hidden in the margins: the lives and trajectories of young carers.
This project aims to examine the social, educational, economic and health-related experiences of young informal carers. Young informal carers are one of the most hidden groups in Australian society and are likely to experience enduring effects of their caring role across many domains.
This project is particularly critical in light of the roll-out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and expects to improve understanding of young informal carers by applying and developing innovative analytic models. This will lead to quantification of the determinants and consequences of being a young informal carer in Australia. In doing so, this project will provide critical information to policy makers and deliver significant benefits to young carers by identifying ways to support them.
The DECRA scheme provides focused research support for early career researchers in both teaching and research, and research-only positions.

So I'm watching Top Gun and towards the end I can't help but constantly yell at my TV, "Shut the fuck up and die like a Naval Aviator" as they become all whiney and panicky during the dog fight at the end. I guess Hollywood didn't feel the sound of a real dog fight dramatic enough.
Here's a made for TV version with censored audio:
Also noticed a couple technical glitches at what is the best part of the movie, the first 5 minutes. If you pay attention the approach for cougar. You can spot the ball with the wave off lights flashing red. Cut to the plane again, when it comes back as it lands on the deck and the wave off lights are gone and the ball is centered on a good approach.
I still think my favorite line though is, "The defense department regrets to inform you your sons are dead because they were stupid."

I've been reading up on the latest social media news - and apparently Google, or facebook is rumored to be in talks to buy Twitter.
According to sources quoted in a The Wall Street Journal story published late Wednesday night, Twitter has been having what the paper called "low-level" discussions about a possible acquisition by either Google or Facebook, at a valuation of $8 billion to $10 billion. Obviously the company's financial backers—which include VC firms such as Kleiner Perkins Caulfield Byers—are looking forward to a potential exit and a hefty return on their investment. And both Google and Facebook could probably make use of Twitter in some form or other. But would an acquisition by either Web giant be good for the messaging service, or its users?
What do you guys think about this? Do you think Twitter would be better off with Google, standing alone, or selling to Facebook?

Can vampires reproduce and do they need a human to do it? In recent times, we've seen many authors and show directors take many liberties with what powers these supernatural creatures truly possess. But what about according to folklore?
Is it possible for a vampire to be born? Yes, according to folklore, there are countless references throughout Bulgarian folklore that indicates vampires have the power to have babies without having to turn them.
The interesting thing about these updated supernatural creatures is that born vampires possess different powers and acute senses than a normal vampire making them an entirely different type of undead.
Let's dive deep into what we know about when vampires reproduce.
This post contains affiliate links. Affiliate links that support Haunted Ghost Site at no additional cost to you. I will receive a small commission if you choose to make a purchase on this post.
Is there any folklore record of vampires mating with humans?
According to folklore specifically related to vampires mating with humans, we find the term Dhampir show up over and over again. A Dhampir is a creature born through the union of a vampire and a human. Typically a male vampire and female human. It is very uncommon to see the relationship in reverse.
You might also see terms such as:
- vampirovic
- vampirdzhiya
- svetocher
- Dhampirica (girl)
- glog
- Dhampiraj
- Vampir (boy)
- Vampirica (girl)
Each of these represent descendants of human and vampire parents and are all different ways of saying Dhampir.
Related: Are There Vampires In The Bible? The Official Take From Christianity
Can Dhampirs create vampires?
While Dhampirs do possess many great powers and are still considered half-vampire, they cannot create vampires on their own. Dhampirs can produce children. There is a 50% chance that those babies will become dhampirs and a 50% chance they will be regular humans.
Do human-vampire offspring have special powers or weaknesses?
Since these special vampires were made, it makes sense that they possess special powers and weaknesses. Human-vampire offspring – according to folklore – while very similar to their fathers, aren't quite the same.
|Ability to detect powers
|Can detect shape-shifters
|Can day-walk
|Has no problem walking out in the sun
|Can eat food
|Still can enjoy human luxuries
|Acute sense of sight
|Can retain perfect clarity – even in darkness
|Acute sense of smell
|Similar to a wolf – great for hunting
|Acute sense of hearing
|Great for battle
|Quickly heals
|Can control animals
|Have a direct connection with certain animals
|Can sense danger
|Feelings warnings
|Superhuman strength and speed
|Naturally stronger and faster than humans
|Memory Recall
|Unable to forget / minds are vaults
|Lasting Stamina
|Built to fight and to last
What Do Vampire Babies Look Like?
Children of vampires are always more attractive than humans. Their features are more pronounced and their essence is always very appealing to other people. They have the ability to draw people in – similar to their fathers.
However, in most stories, Dhampirs are fighters – naturally born this way. So, expect an enhanced physics with muscular undertones. This race is always ready for battle.
If you research Bulgarian folklore, you will find an entirely different recount. This group of people was documented as "dirty" and without any nails and bones. There is even a record of "a deep mark on the back, like a tail." Doesn't sound very appealing?
Related: What Color Eyes Do Vampires Have? A Comprehensive List
Vampires Tend To Dislike These Babies
In the end, normal vampires do not like vampires who are born because they are closer to humans than the undead. The fact that they can walk in the sun and still need to eat real food in order to survive makes them unequal. Something unnatural to the … unnatural.
You will find in most movies that there is such a wide divide between these two communities that Dhamphir's usually become vampire hunters. After spending years of being exiled and threatened by the rest of their race, there comes a point where this new race starts to fight back. Take the movie series Blade – for example.
A half-mortal, half-immortal is out to avenge his mother's death and rid the world of vampires. The modern-day technologically advanced vampires he is going after are in search of his special blood type needed to summon an evil god who plays a key role in their plan to execute the human race.IMDB
However, in recent times, books like Vampire Academy positioned the Dhampir as guardians to the vampire race from the unruly strigori. So, there are many uses for this powerful group of people. (PS – do not watch Vampire Academy, please just read the books. So much better)
Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir.
Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of a forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever.Synopsis for Vampire Academy

Do Vampire Borns Drink Blood?
Does a dhampir need blood to live? A vampire and human born baby needs regular food to thrive. They only need to drink blood if they want to maintain their superstrength and supernatural powers.
It has been suggested that some born vampires have found an alternative to blood supplies. Again, take Blade and his movie series. We find him constantly using a blood serum inhaler which contains an alternative to the real things.
Popular Movies And TV Shows Handling Vampires Being Born
In the TV show "Angel", we saw two vampires getting pregnant, but magic was involved. They were unable to do it on their own. In the end, the mother couldn't feed the child while in the womb and eventually had to stake herself in order to give birth.
Vampire Diaries
We all saw Caroline Forbes carry twins in the Vampire Diaries, but it wasn't for Stefan Salvatore. It was for Alaric and it – again – happened through magic. She wasn't the natural mother.
Sonja's Unborn Child was the child conceived by the affair between the Vampire Sonja and the Lycan Lucian. Naturally, we didn't see that birth because she was burned to death. But how was this pregnancy possible?
In the Underworld, the "rules" were very different – vampires aged. Their bodies still transformed and turned throughout time. A lot of liberties were taken in this film.
Van Helsing
This was a very different spin as well. In Van Helsing, the vampires created a nest of eggs where the new vampires would eventually hatch. They were created by two vampires mating together. This was the first time we saw anything like this before. There are no references to this type of vampire birth in folklore.
Stephanie Meyer's Contraction To Her Own Writing In Breaking Dawn
One of the most popular recent vampire born babies happened in Twilight and it caused quite the controversy. Technically, Edward Cullen shouldn't have been able to have an erection or even have sex under the rules that Stephanie Meyer set forth for her vampire universe.
During an interview while on tour promoting her billion-dollar empire, she had this to say about the Cullens:
"Most human fluids are absent in my vampires. No sweat, no tears, no blood besides that which they ingest–they don't have their own blood. They do sort of have saliva–the venom makes their mouths wet, at least. When they drink blood, it runs through their body and makes them strong. It floods through their old blood ways, though they don't have circulation anymore. It lightens their eyes* and flushes their skin slightly."Stephanie Meyers — on Vampires in her universe
If it is true that they don't have sweat, tears, or blood circulating throughout their bodies… how on EARTH did Edward have an erection and eventually lead to the entire birth of Breaking Dawn? Let's not even cross over to the thought that sperm somehow lived within his barren body but his sweat ducts are void and empty.
Related Questions:
Can Dhampirs die?
Dhampirs are semi-immortal which makes them interesting. Vampires live forever, but this race can die from battle. However, they won't die from natural causes or aging.
Who are some famous Dhampirs?
Two famous Dhampirs are Blade – who aims to rid the world of evil vampires and was portrayed by actor Wesley Snipes – and Alucard – the antagonist of the Castlevania series. If you haven't watched Castlevania, I highly suggest you do.
As referenced above, Rose Hathaway and Dimitri Belikov are two vampire born characters from Vampire Academy. While not as popular as the first two examples, if you are interested in this topic, I highly encourage you to read this series. Their love affair is like none other and it's a great action series. The movie representation of this book series was an absolute MURDER.
But the most popular dhampir to date is most certainly Renesmee Carlie Cullen. She is the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Nessie was born on September 10 – just three days before Bella's nineteenth birthday in the book Breaking Dawn.


text: T detectable in the CSF (40).HOw NSAbs Reach THe CeNTRAL NeRveS Program (CNS)Mainly because neuronal surface proteins will be the target with the Adam mmp Inhibitors targets Autoantibodies discussed within this overview, it really is critical to first realize how those autoantibodies get access for the CNS. Now it can be broadly accepted that the CNS is targeted by the immune program, yet the mechanism how autoantibodies go through the blood rain barrier (BBB) is still unclear. Under typical situations, immunoglobulins go through the BBB at an extremely low price; a good example is immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG concentration within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is about 1 on the levels within the peripheral circulation (291). This indicates that after the autoantibodies reach the CNS they are able to bring about disease since it has been observed in autoimmune encephalitis. In particular scenarios, like inflammation, for example, throughout the group A Streptococcus infection, precise Th17 cells could migrate in to the brain through the cribriform plate along olfactory sensory axons. The Th17 cells expressed IL-17A which induced endothelial tight junction breakdown, increasing BBB permeability and facilitating the penetration of IgG within the brain (32). On top of that, the BBB could turn out to be leaky because of stroke, brain trauma, hemorrhages, microangiopathy, or brain tumors, and antibody penetration rate could raise. In this regard, a study has reported that autoantibodies to NMDAR (anti-NMDAR) seropositive schizophrenia patients with a history of neurotrauma or birth complications had additional extreme neurological symptoms than seronegative patients. And intravenous injections of extracted Ig fractions (IgG, IgA,igG eFFeCTOR FUNCTiONSAntibodies (or Igs) are created by plasma B cells. They may be defined as IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE isotypes based on heavy chain C domains. Distinct varieties of NSAbs (IgM, IgA, and IgG) happen to be located so far; IgG autoantibodies are considered the most pathogenic (1, 10, 33). IgG, composed of two paired heavy chain and light chain, will be the key antibody in physique fluid in addition to a vital player inside the humoral immune response. In humans, 4 IgG isotypes (IgG1) exist, which have different ability to activate the complement system (41). IgG1 mediate proinflammatory activities, while IgG4 also has anti-inflammatory activities (42). The functions of IgG effector in myasthenia gravis (MG) along with other well-studied autoimmune issues are schematically illustrated in Figure 1.Antigenic ModulationAntibodies on the IgG1 subtypes are able to cross-link the antigens for the reason that of their bivalent nature, whereas the IgG4 subtype loses this ability right after the fab-arm exchange with other unrelated IgG4 molecules (43). Cross-linking autoantibodies are believed to bring the antigens close collectively on the cell membrane and promote the degradation from the ligand eceptor complicated (44). In the case of MG, antiacetylcholine receptor autoantibodies (anti-AChR), mostly IgG1 and IgG3, are in a position to cross-link adjacent AChR molecules, leading to fast internalization by endocytosis and AChR degradation (45, 46). Earlier studies indicated that anti-NMDAR, IgG1, led to a reduction within the synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors and further decreased theFrontiers in Immunology | www.frontiersin.orgJuly 2017 | Volume eight | ArticleZong et al.Neuronal Surface Autoantibodies in Depressionsynaptic 11��-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Inhibitors medchemexpress plasticity and transmission (470). Anti-GABAAR, IgG1 and IgG3, had a related effect using a reduction of GABAAR clusters in both synaptic and extrasynaptic.

Peyronie's Surgery Comparison
I have put this Peyronie's surgery comparison together in order to help you to compare the different surgical treatments available and to find out if they are suitable option for you.
Undergoing penis surgery is always the last Peyronie's treatment option. You should have exhausted the non-surgical treatment options prior to opting for surgical treatment.
Surgery can however be necessary for men with compromised ability / inability to have sexual intercourse caused by severe penis deformity or erectile dysfunction.
At the end of this article, you can download a copy of my comparison table.
Choosing The Right Peyronie's Surgery For You
If you need penile surgery because of the severity of your Peyronie's disease, then the condition of your penis determines which surgical option is right for you.
The first question is if you can achieve and maintain rigid erection. If not, then penile implant is the only surgical option available to you.
If you can achieve erection then the choice is between plication and grafting surgery. The key factors influencing the decision-making are: the stretched penile length, the degree of the penile curvature, and the presence of significant narrowing (hour glass shape).
The following table summarizes Peyronie's condition for each surgical option.
|Peyronie's Conditions
|Erection Achievable
|< 60 degrees
|> 60 degrees
|Stretched Length
|> 10 cm
|< 10 cm
Some Peyronie's conditions exclude some surgical options. For example, if associated penis deformity is present (like hourglass effects, hinge or waisting) then grafting surgery is likely to be your only option, i.e. no matter the severity of your penis curvature and your stretched penile length.
If you also suffered from the inability to have sexual intercourse (Erectile Dysfunction) then your option is like to be penile implant with combined with grafting.
My Peyronie's surgery comparison flowchart shows the surgical decision-making process in a simplified format.
Peyronie's Surgery Comparison Made Easy
In this PD surgery section I have standardized the article format for each treatment in order to make the Peyronie's surgery comparison consistent and clear.
For each surgical treatment, I list up the following; how it works, the benefits, the downside, side effects and health risk involved. I summarize the reported results and link to the relevant Peyronie's surgical studies I have found.
I share my personal opinion about each surgical. I also encourage you and other visitors of MyPeyronie's.com to share your experience and opinions by submitting comments at the end of each article.
I also give some cost indications, though comparing the cost of different Peyronie's treatments can be tricky. The cost can vary greatly, e.g. between countries and individual surgeons. For this purpose, I have created five cost categories ($ = USD).
These cost categories are for guidance only. You may find cheaper or more expensive Peyronie's treatments available in your area.
|Treatment Cost
|Less than $ 100
|$ 100 - 299
|$ 300 - 499
|$ 500 - 1,000
|More than $ 1,000
Penile surgeries are the most expensive of the Peyronie's treatment options, the cost can easily run into thousand of US dollars.
However, the public healthcare system, or health insurance companies, may cover the cost (partly or fully). If not, then you have to be ready fork out some serious amounts for your Peyronie's surgery.
If you have already had, or are planning to have a penis surgery, then you should consider using Traction Device to prevent post-surgical penile shortening.

Greater availability of leaf dark respiration (R dark) data could facilitate breeding efforts to raise crop yield and improve global carbon cycle modelling. However, the availability of R dark data is limited because it is cumbersome, time consuming, or destructive to measure. We report a non‐destructive and high‐throughput method of estimating R dark from leaf hyperspectral reflectance data that was derived from leaf R dark measured by a destructive high‐throughput oxygen consumption technique. We generated a large dataset of leaf R dark for wheat (1380 samples) from 90 genotypes, multiple growth stages, and growth conditions to generate models for R dark. Leaf R dark (per unit leaf area, fresh mass, dry mass or nitrogen, N) varied 7‐ to 15‐fold among individual plants, whereas traits known to scale with R dark, leaf N, and leaf mass per area (LMA) only varied twofold to fivefold. Our models predicted leaf R dark, N, and LMA with r 2 values of 0.50–0.63, 0.91, and 0.75, respectively, and relative bias of 17–18% for R dark and 7–12% for N and LMA. Our results suggest that hyperspectral model prediction of wheat leaf R dark is largely independent of leaf N and LMA. Potential drivers of hyperspectral signatures of R dark are discussed.

Fashion marketing campaigns tend to be creative, sometimes controversial, but always on the cutting edge of what's hot.
Whether or not the clothes can be worn… well, that's beside the point. These are some of my favorites from the last few years.
1. Puzzles Love Immigration
There has been a wave of socially conscious campaigns in recent years, as consumers expect brands to do more than just sell. Getting the balance right is hard, as Pepsi showed with the flop of its Kendall Jenner ad.
The fashion world can be skeptical when it comes to big causes, especially when it comes to related topics like the environment and sustainability. However, in 2017, Jigsaw decided to break the mountain and base their print, social and digital marketing campaign on the importance of immigration in fashion.
Entitled Love Immigration, it was a bold and powerful celebration of the diversity in British fashion and the values of openness, love and collaboration that the brand seeks to uphold.
Not only has it been praised by consumers and other fashion brands, but it was also named Campaign of the Year by Marketing Week.
2. Keep Up With The Bakers At Ted Baker
Ted Baker has a history of innovative and inspiring campaigns, including experiments with Instagram stories and a shopping video directed by Guy Ritchie.
For its Spring/Summer 2022 campaign, Ted Baker pushed the boundaries even further with Keeping up with the Bakers, an eight-episode sitcom played episodic on Instagram. Users have been encouraged to return daily to participate in the daily challenges that will be released with each episode.
At the same time, a 360-degree shopping movie was introduced, allowing users to explore the bakery and purchase the items they discover there.
With Ted Baker traditionally taking on a different narrative for each season, Keeping Up with the Bakers has certainly become a standout event, creating a fully immersive world for consumers to explore.
3. Nike Is Better For It
We're always blogging about Nike, and with a back catalog that reflects their strong brand identity, there's a good reason why.
Representing the inner thoughts of active women, it shows the link between exercise and self-esteem, and cleverly points out that our clothes can also play a role.
With a cheerful but powerful tone, it managed to attract female consumers.
4. The Scarves Of The House Of Hermès
The Hermès microsite, La Maison des Carrés, was created to showcase the popular range of scarves.
Instead of simply encouraging visitors to shop online, the goal is to bring the brand's story and art to life.
With its beautiful design and great attention to detail, it invites the visitor to get lost in its world of illustration.
While we noted earlier that the Hermès website can seem snooty (and therefore off-putting to consumers), there's no denying that this part stands out for its creative and original approach.
5. Inside Chanel
Along with Chanel News, Inside Chanel is a microsite dedicated to the brand's history, a key element of its global marketing strategy.
Divided into 12 chapters, each detailing an important part of the brand's story, it offers consumers something of real value.
Combining photography, digital sketches and video, he uses rich content to bring the story to life.
With its 100-year history, the deep and thoughtful character of the campaign also reflects the quality of the brand.
6. Close The H&M Circuit
We recently wrote about why women are talking about H&M's latest campaign, but the Close the Loop ad is another example of the brand's innovative marketing.
To further his mission to make fashion more sustainable, he created one of the most diverse ads of all time.
The ad, starring plus-size model Tess Holliday and Muslim model Mariah Idrissi, received a very positive response because it celebrates different cultures when it comes to fashion.
By creating excitement around the campaign, he made sure his sustainability message was heard.
7. Girlboss By Nastygal
Nasty Gal has a spirit of self-empowerment and discovery that is woven so well into all of her marketing campaigns.
The hashtag #girlboss is not only the title of founder Sophia Amoruso's self-authored book, but also the title of Nasty Gal's independent content hub.
As well as in-depth articles on fashion and lifestyle in general, it is also home to Girl Boss Radio, a podcast where Sophia interviews various women who have influenced her.
A great example of a multi-channel campaign that reflects core brand values and subtly promotes them.
8. Monsoon Weakness
Several fashion brands have launched shopping magazines, and while The Edit is often cited by Net A Porter as one of the best, Swoon for Monsoon proves that this isn't just an approach reserved for high-end brands.
The campaign, hosted on the main website, consisted of digital magazines accessible via web, tablet and mobile.
In addition to visuals such as GIFs and videos, there were also posts from influencers to increase consumer engagement and interest.
A snazzy piece of shoppable content: It was also a great example of how to integrate editorial elements into e-commerce.
9. Castmemarc
Marc Jacobs used social media as the driving force behind his fall/winter campaign and used Instagram to find models.
To be featured in his Autumn/Winter campaign, he asked his followers to tag a photo of himself with the hashtag #castmemarc.
In addition to building brand awareness, he managed to provide consumers and fans of the brand with an unforgettable and potentially valuable experience.
10. Timeless By Lacoste
Lacoste is a brand with a long history, founded in 1933 by tennis players René Lacoste and André Gilliver.
His legacy is the basis for his 2017 short film Timeless, which uses a time warp feature to take viewers on a visual journey through his past.
It also uses a narrative arc that tells the story of two unhappy lovers crossing several decades in a single train journey. Combining nostalgia, urgency and intrigue, it packs a lot into under two minutes.

It sounds like at least one Cowboys player would like to protest Jerry Jones' protest against the NFL's widespread national anthem protests.
After the Dallas owner put his foot down with an ultimatum stating any player on his team who protests during the national anthem will be benched, the whispers have begun leaking out of the Cowboys locker room about the man who signs their checks.
"I've never heard this tone from Jerry, ever. Goes against everything he told us in Arizona," one player, granted anonymity, told ESPN's Josina Anderson on Wednesday.
In Arizona, Jones had knelt in prayer with the team, arms interlocked, just before the start of "The Star-Spangled Banner." During the song itself, though, the entire team stood — which earned President Trump's blessing, deeming pre-anthem statements OK but mid-anthem statements an apparent jab at the flag.
"Jerry told us to trust in him on this sit'n," the player told Anderson. "Now I don't know what 2 believe.That whole kneel b4 t/ anthem was trash."
Jones thought he had threaded the needle of allowing his players to make a statement while not enraging a president and fanbase that wants everyone to stand during the anthem. But on Sunday, Jones demanded his players not protest racial discrimination in the US or Trump — as to what a protest entails, Jones said, "You'll know it when you see it" — and threatened to bench any player who disobeyed.
Defensive ends Damontre Moore and David Irving had raised their fists at the song's conclusion Sunday, but Jones insisted their statement came after the anthem was finished.
Trump and Jones have been in contact since the owner spun the anthem protest that Colin Kaepernick began by sitting and then kneeling for the song. After their chats, Jones decided he could not alienate any of his customers.
The league union released a statement condemning the mandate, saying: "We should not stifle these discussions and cannot allow our rights to become subservient to the very opinions our Constitution protects. This is what makes us the land of the free and home of the brave."
Meanwhile, the NFL is contemplating whether to make standing for the song mandatory.
"It is what it is," another player told Anderson about Jones. "Making more out of political BS on both sides."

When, How and Where do I plant it?
You can plant Sweet Tea nearly any time of year but we recommend planting them in spring when soil moisture is good. If planted in spring the plants will be better established by summer but it is perfectly acceptable to plant throughout the growing season. Sweet Tea is perennial and once established will come back from the roots every spring. The plants linger through the winter with very few small leaves at the base of the plant. It begins to slowly put on new growth in early spring. As night time temperatures begin to stay generally above 6 degrees it picks up the pace and grows vigorously in the heat of summer. Summer plantings do very well and often catch up with those planted in spring.
Sweet Tea is adapted to a wide range of soils. While Sweet Tea has a deep root system making it quite drought tolerant, it will not make as much browse in deep sand during dry times. It can tolerate some inundation for short periods but is not found growing in very wet soils. Generally, the soil should be fairly well-drained. It naturally occurs along shady edges and slopes where there is high organic matter.
Plant the plugs about a foot apart, to the depth of the rootball, in moist soil and pack them firmly to make sure there are no air pockets. We recommend planting in rows so the plants are easier to manage. This also keeps them out of the way of annual tillage. The plants eventually make a fairly dense hedge. We like to use a repellent like milorganite when first plant the plugs to give them a chance to root in. Otherwise they get pulled up very easily.
Fertilize with 10-10-10, applying 1-2 lb. per 100 feet of row at planting. As plants mature fertilizer can be increased during rainy periods of summer. One or two applications per year is sufficient to maintain good growth. However, as deer browse the plants potassium needs to be replaced so consider deer pressure when considering fertility. Protein levels and digestibility increase dramatically with fertilization and forage analyses with over 35% crude protein are not uncommon. Incidentally, it is also higher in calcium and phosphorus (critical for antler development) than iron clay peas, soybeans or alfalfa. Established Sweet Tea is most heavily browsed from June through September.
Try different spots!
Sweet Tea is a native plant, therefore it prefers certain areas over others and often it is hard to figure out exactly why. While I have grown this plant since 2010 I still haven't completely figured it out. I will just say that some areas that seem to be perfect for Sweet Tea it seems to struggle while in other nearby areas it grows like crazy. I highly recommend trying small spots in several different areas to see where it grows best. When you find the right place you will be amazed at how much browse these plants produce. We are learning more about this plant every year but fertility definitely is one key to growing big, healthy plants. Organic fertilizers like manure and compost have produced 6' tall plants in one growing season.
How do I manage it?
Sweet Tea will enter a sluggish state in late Summer as it goes to seed. Mowing to 12″ will return it to a vegetative state, producing more browse well into the fall and will tolerate a number of light freezes before eventually going dormant. Sweet Tea is a very fibrous, tough, almost woody plant which is one reason why it tolerates browsing so well. This can also make mowing difficult so if you decide to mow, make sure to have a sharp blade, get your RPM's up and take it slow.

by Boitumelo Makobosheane
Today I will be talking about debt, investing and savings. I am 24-year-old and this is my second year working as a financial manager I have learnt that one of the financial crippling things is debt. What is debt? It is money that you borrow and have to pay back with a certain percentage attached to it and this is called interest. There is bad debt and good debt. Bad debt is a vehicle (depreciate) credit cards (high-interest rates). Good debt is home loans (low-interest rates).
Back in university, I was doing my final year, I worked part-time as a waitress at Rockafella's to finance my life, the salary wasn't exactly Rosey we received R 15.49 per hour worked 4 hours a day 3days a week if you were lucky 5 days. What's the first thought you get when you have a payslip? Well for me it was hey let me get clothing accounts I then opened one at Mr Price paid R175 and The fix paid R 250 a month.
I ended spending my whole salary on expenses I was 21year with a whole lot of debt. In 2018 I got a job and "I could afford everything even buying a car" but because I understood the principle of money which is if you can't buy it cash then you can't afford, then I couldn't afford it. I used the snowball method by David Ramsey to get rid of my clothing accounts. What is the debt snowball method is where you pay the smallest working your way to the largest regardless of the interest rate. This method is designed to help you change how you behave with money and gives you power over your debt. My Mr Price account I had a total outstanding amount R2289 and the fix it was R3100.
Step 1 list all your debts from smallest to largest.
Step 2 make minimum payments on all except the smallest, paying as much as you can with the smallest.
Step 3: Repeat this method as you plough your way through debt
|Mr Price
|The Fix
I started using this method in February in July I was done with my Mr price account, broke the card and then took the R600 that I paid on accounts and started paying off the fixed account which had a closing balance of R1600 in July, then in October, I was debt-free. You can use this method on:
- Payday loans,
- Student loans,
- Medical bills,
- Car notes,
- Credit cards balances,
- Home equity loans,
- Personal loans,
The other form of debt that we as woman battle with is consumptive debt examples of consumptive debt is clothes. Consumptive debt is a great example of unnecessary debt because of society and its standards its okay to take a taxi don't go into debt buying a car that you don't need.
- Start an emergency fund, what is an emergency fund? This is money that is kept in an easily accessible account for unexpected emergencies e.g losing your job, a burst tire etc. a fully-funded emergency fund covers 3-6 months of the main expenses. This will then prevent you from resorting to credit cards and getting into debt again. Beware not to rationalize the use of the emergency fund for something that you should save for and purchase. Live within your means and remember if you can't buy it cash then you can't afford it.
Saving is never about the money; rather it is about forgoing the ordinary for what you find extraordinary also it is to preserve the current value of money. There are 3 laws to savings
- What exactly am I saving for? Because when saving you need to save with a goal
- Separate your savings from your spending money
- Every rand counts
Saving requires consistency, discipline and a changed mindset. When saving the intention is to how much money are you growing? And it is a bridge to investing. The parkisan law states that expenses increase to meet income, this means the more you earn the more you spend. My saving method includes paying myself first income –savings = Expenses which I then divide into percentages 25/25/50 savings, investing and expenses. You should at least look at saving 7-10% of your income.
Investing is the act of committing resources or capital to an endeavour (a business, project, real estate, etc.), with the expectation of generating an income or profit. In colloquial terms, investing can also mean putting in time or effort – not just money – into something with a long-term benefit, such as education.
You can invest into a bond, mutual funds and the buying of shares. You often invest to protect the purchasing power of your money and to grow your wealth. You must be asking yourself what exactly protecting my money from good inflation which is known as the general increase in prices of goods and services over time.
We grow our money to maintain our purchasing power.
Compound growth – is having earnings on your earnings (reinvesting) but you should know that the potential of higher returns necessarily comes at the expense of more risk eg investing R1000 on compounded interest year 1 you interest is R100 and on year two, you are now not only receiving interest on your invested amount but also on your interest which makes it R110 year 3 R121 and so forth. Also, it is important to not put your eggs in one basket. Invest in different markets.
Financial education has by far to be the most important, know how to invest, understand tax. Here is a list of the things you should do to manage your money:
- Track your spending,
- Pay off all your debts,
- Automate all transfers including your debt,
- Negotiate your bills ( e.g car insurance )
- Buy using cash only
- Stop paying for convenience ( e.g takeaways )
- Make a grocery list,
- Quit bad habits,
- Practice the 30-day purchase rule,
- Turn trash into cash,
- Don't just save invest,

Manchester City coach has spoken out against racism in football and society and commented it is a deep-rooted problem in society on Tuesday.
Guardiola was speaking to the press after Manchester City's winger, Raheem Sterling was abused by a group of Chelsea fans during Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge with the images shown around the world on TV.
Police are currently investigating whether Sterling was racially abused by the fans, but his coach believes racism is still an issue and took a swipe at the media which has often made the Jamaican born player a target for criticism.
"There was concern about what happened but he (Sterling) has been quite good. He made a statement, he was quite clear about his thoughts," Guardiola said.
The Manchester City coach said he wasn't sure if all of the abuse Sterling suffers was because of his colour and said he hoped the only criticism he received was when "he plays badly."
"Just for the colour of his skin – believe me, that's ridiculous and that's why everyone… we have to protect from that situation."
Guardiola said the media had "a responsibility" to help fight against racism. "You can write something and offend, create a conflict. Today the real power is the media, not politicians, not the governments, it's the media," he commented.
The coach insisted that racism was not just an issue in some football grounds, but society as a whole.
"Racism is everywhere," he said. "People focus on football but it is not just in football, unfortunately."
"What happens with immigrants, refugees around the world, how we treat them. We have to fight for a better society," concluded Guardiola.

Can't you possibly fit the Magic Mirror to a 7 inch resolution?

Is there any other way?
I'm displaying MM on an iPad tablet via Safari as a client. Things fit pretty well. I needed to use MMM-Carousel to save on screen space.

Besides using a module like MMM-Carousel or MMM-Pages, you'd probably have to override the /css/custom.css with some smaller font sizes and such.

A lot of criminal cases are resolved by placing the defendant on probation. It sounds like a good idea, because it keeps you out of jail. But if you are not careful the benefits you thought you were going to receive can be taken away from you. A violation of probation will result in revocation of probation and new charges being filed against you. Not only will you now have to defend a violation of probation charge, but you will also have to defend the original charge that landed you on probation. This is not a desirable outcome, and if you are considering probation it is good to know what you can do to make sure you are successful…after all the only reason to enter this agreement is to see it through to the end so you get the benefit of your bargain. It would be a shame to engage in negotiations with the prosecution for favorable probation terms, only to have it unravel due to making a mistake.
Three easy ways to complete probation without any problems are:
- Be sure to check in with your probation officer, if you are required to do so. Put any appointments on any calendar you have; whether that is your smartphone, a paper calendar, or a reminder that pops up at work. Do this as soon as you know when and where you are supposed to be, so other things don't get scheduled during these appointments.
- If you have been given community service, or ordered to go to driving or drug/alcohol school, get it done right away! You will be glad you did, when it is getting to the end of your probationary term and you have already completed many of the requirements, you will be less stressed and happy that you planned ahead.
- Pay your fines and costs on time, or make arrangements for a payment plan if you are not able to pay the entire amount up front.
When you understand the terms of your probation and make plans to complete all of the requirements you can also schedule things in your personal life. By doing this you are helping yourself to stay on track and to have a successful probation that will end as you hoped. If you have questions about what to expect during probation, or have been charged with a violation of probation, call us for answers. We know how to help.
For help with probation violations, or for answers about what it means to go on probation, call a competent criminal defense attorney in Stuart and the Treasure Coast for help. We offer representation for a wide range of offenses, call us to schedule an appointment.

Softball Car Magnets
Play Ball!
Wow, it's February already! That means we're only about a month away from Major League Baseball Spring Training.
Also getting ready for spring baseball are about a million youngsters playing youth baseball and softball. If you are a parent with a kid playing baseball or softball you know that it's not all fun and games. Another unfortunate byproduct of youth sports is money (and lots of it!). After you pay your league fees, team fees then buy all of the equipment that your young athlete will need, you find out that even more money is needed. Instead of asking parents to keep writing checks, most teams and leagues hold several fund raising events before and during the season. Most of these fundraisers are very ineffective and poorly received (I'm talking about fundraisers such as "Cookie Dough Sales" and those "Over-Sized Chocolate Bar Sales"… really?!!).
Here's a fat-free fundraiser to consider… custom car magnets from ARC Marketing. Customized specifically for your team, these high quality, weather-proof car magnets will stand the test of time (they last for years and do not fade) and they will bring well deserved attention to your team. Imagine hundreds of cars in your town with your car magnet on them!
Now is the time to start designing the fundraising car magnets for your Little League Baseball teams and your Softball Teams. You don't need to be an expert magnet designer to do this… because we are expert magnet designers and we'll do this for you for FREE.
So, if you're looking for a high-profit fundraiser, then baseball magnets are the easy choice. First of all, everyone will want one (unlike those stale, over-sized chocolate bar fundraisers). And it's easy to double, or even triple your money (you can't do that with any other fundraiser).
Here's another bonus; after your car magnet fundraiser is over, you have hundreds of cars driving around your town with your team's logo. After your over-sized chocolate bar fundraiser is over, all you have is a weight-loss problem.
Here's the fun part… getting your free car magnet design. One of our artists will design your magnet (working with input from you) and we'll email you the preliminary design ASAP. Just click here to get started: http://www.arcmktg.com/virtual-magnet/

Kumara, Honnavalli N and Sasi, R and Chandran, Subash and Radhakrishna, Sindhu (2016) Distribution of the Grey Slender Loris (Loris lyddekerianus Cabrera, 1908) in Tamil Nadu, Southern India. In: FOLIA PRIMATOLOGICA, 87 (5). pp. 291-302.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
The grey slender loris Loris lydekkerianus, one of only two nocturnal primates of India, is found in the southern part of the country. Our understanding of its geographical distribution is largely based on historical records and short surveys, and little is known of its occurrence in southern India today. We sought to establish the relative abundance of this species in 26 districts in the state of Tamil Nadu and the union territory of Pondicherry in southern India. We sighted lorises in 19 districts, and their relative abundance ranged from 0.01 to 2.21/km. The south-central districts of Tamil Nadu showed the highest densities of lorises, while the western districts showed the lowest. Based on these results, we recommend increased protection measures for the forest patches of the Eastern Ghats mountains in order to ensure the long-term survival of the grey slender loris.

(Flash90/Matanya Tausig)(Flash90/Matanya Tausig)BDS Boomerang: Anti-Israel activist triggers Dutch run on Israeli wine Tweet WhatsApp Email https://worldisraelnews.com/bds-boomerang-anti-israel-activist-triggers-dutch-run-on-israeli-wine/ Email Print Anti-Israeli activist's tweet calling out a supermarket for stocking Israeli wine leads to massive sales. By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News Israel supporters claimed a resounding victory over the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement Wednesday as a Dutch anti-Israel activist's plan to pressure a supermarket to take an Israeli wine off its shelves led to the bottles flying off – straight to consumers' homes. BDS activist Mieke Zagt took to Twitter Monday to ask Hema, one of the largest supermarket chains in the country, why it was selling Efrat wine from "the Judean Hills." "Is this possible? Efrat and Judean Hills are in occupied Palestinian land. Efrat is an illegal Israeli colony. Can you verify the origin? #hema #notAgainAye!??," Zagt wrote, attaching a picture of the bottles. Zagt was factually inaccurate on a number of counts. Despite the wine's name, it's produced well within the original 1949 boundaries of the State of Israel, which the vast majority of countries, including the E.U., does not consider disputed territory. Several pro-Israel activists took up the BDS supporter's challenge and tweeted out a call to buy the wine, along with the hashtag #TipFromMieke and #BDSFail. Read Helen Mirren: Israel must last foreverHidde J. van Koningsveld, of the Center for Information and Documentation Israel, a Holland-based group that defends the Jewish State and tracks anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands, posted the web address of the supermarket chain so consumers could check which stores still had the wine in stock. Within hours on Tuesday, both the red and white varieties of the wine were sold out from Hema's online store, as it became the top story on Dutch Twitter. The campaign received a boost when the story made the front page of the largest Dutch daily De Telegraaf. Under the title "Run on Hema Wine Thanks to #tipvanMieke," it included pictures of various Dutch personalities with the wine they'd bought, such as Damien Zeller, a municipal councilor in the Hague. It received an additional boost when Christians for Israel, an international group based outside Amsterdam, asked on their website and Facebook page for their thousands of supporters to specifically go and buy the Efrat wines. Yanki Jacobs, a Chabad rabbi in the Dutch capital who leads the Jewish outreach organization's activities on college campuses, said he was "delighted" with the results of the Twitter campaign. "It is a pleasure to see, just a few days after Purim, that something bad turns into something good," he told JTA. Read UK Parliament weighs anti-BDS bill as Jewish groups voice supportZagt, however, was more than a little displeased at the unintended outcome of her tweet, and whined that those mocking her were engaged in "intimidation and defamation."

Ms. Behavior®: Neurotic Mess
Dear Ms. Behavior:
I have no clue how I got myself in this situation. All I can do is slap my forehead, and sigh.
You see, my friend since age 5 and I spooned on a cold night out camping. This led to some vague dry humping—a near-Brokeback Mountain moment. By the gravity of that sentence alone, I'm sure you now understand how I feel. And, if not, sooo awkward is the answer.
The culprits of this scandalous incident were freezing cold, hormones, and stupidity (I guess those last two are practically synonymous). The night was colder than we previously had thought, and our extra sleeping bag wasn't offering much help. So, I asked if he was "awake and cold." Once he said yes, we agreed to huddle next to each other for warmth. At one point in the night, I turned on my side. Shortly after, my straight friend slides in, and we're spooning! I was shocked, turned on, and confused.
It doesn't seem right, although I have found him physically attractive since junior high school, which I easily can get over. However, we've been spending more time together recently. I've found the urge to kiss him, but have chalked this up to misplaced affection. Now, part of me wants something to happen, as idiotic as that is.
To make things even more complex, he's dating a very close friend since seventh grade. I don't want to lose either of them as friends.
So, please stop me from doing anything stupid.
If I find the courage, I plan to bring up the matter of the camping trip sometime when we're alone.
All he said about it the next morning indirectly was that he had some crazy dreams, and didn't want to stay another night, even though it was warming up a lot. I took this to mean: Let's pretend I was having this sexy dream while rubbing against you, but to be safe, fuck staying another night.
Really, I'd rather laugh about it than not say anything, because now, when we see each other, it's just—well, at least, I get nervous as all hell. He seems fine.
Thanks in advance.
—Neurotic Mess
PS: I've realized how I'd feel much safer from any kind of grab-ass in a locker room full of gay guys than straight guys. Here's another question: Are all straight guys repressed fags?
Dear Neurotic Mess:
Who hasn't fantasized about a Brokeback Mountain encounter?
Practically everyone found that particular cinematic bump in the night to be raw and hot. Any sex that's "forbidden" without being exploitative of children or innocent furry animals has the potential to be inspirational to the masses—regardless of gender or sexual orientation—and perhaps even to your best friend.
Your situation is confusing, because of your long history as pals. You sound like you're embarrassed by what happened. You describe your wish to kiss him as "misplaced affection," and your desire for more as "idiotic."
Granted, he's straight, so you feel vulnerable for even hoping that he shares your feelings. And the truth is that he may not. For your friend, the hip-thrusting may have been a momentary impulse, triggered by the heady combination of proximity, comfort, and affection for you. It could have been a one-time deal inspired by an errant boner.
Men under 25 (a category it sounds like you might fit) have been known to fuck watermelons, cows, and meat patties, so it's probably best not to be overly flattered by your friend's attention.
The truth is that you're gay, and so far as you know, he's not. It is, of course, possible that your straight friend harbors feelings for you, but has been too fearful to act on them.
If you want to find out more, you may need to broach the subject with him. But bringing up your humpy encounter means that you risk facing rejection. Your friend could laugh it off, pretend he was dreaming, or run screaming into the safe arms of his girlfriend.
Are you willing to take that risk?
That you're spending more time together lately may suggest he's waiting to see what happens next. But, he also may be trying to reassure himself that spending time with you is fine, and that he doesn't have to worry he'll end up inadvertently boning you.
You actually sound like a couple of lesbians, who are more prone than anyone to the Accidental Sex scenario.
As for your final inquiry: Are all straight guys repressed fags? The answer is yes. Or, rather, maybe not, but it doesn't mean they won't, under the right circumstances, dry hump another man in the dark.

Three Sarasota County school teachers received a big surprise Nov. 13 when they found out they were nominees for the 2019 Teacher of the Year award. Each year, the school district names elementary, middle and high school teachers of the year. One of those three teachers is then announced as the overall Teacher of the Year for the county.
This year's nominees come from Sarasota High School, Wilkinson Elementary School and Oak Park School. The Education Foundation of Sarasota County's Teacher Tribute team traveled to each school to announce the nominees, who were chosen out of 44 winners at individual schools.
During each stop, the school was gathered for an assembly, but the unsuspecting teachers, students and staff were actually there to learn that one of their teachers was an honoree.
The first stop was Sarasota High School where Superintendent Todd Bowden announced Ashlee Middleton as the High School Teacher of the Year. The English, journalism and intensive language arts teacher credited her hard-working students for receiving the honor.
"It's important to develop a positive classroom environment and encourage students to work as a team," Middleton said. She has been teaching for seven years and has been at SHS since 2013.
At Wilkinson Elementary School, Tessa Healy was named Elementary School Teacher of the Year. Healy teaches science, technology, engineering, arts and math. She graduated from a Sarasota County dropout prevention program when she was pregnant at 17 and began her career as an educator six years ago at Venice's Student Leadership Academy. Healy also serves as vice president of the Sarasota Reading Council.
"When I came to Wilkinson, I told my family that I felt like a little fish in a big pond, so I'm excited to represent all of these amazing teachers," Healy said.
Oak Park School, a special needs school serving preschoolers to high schoolers, was the final stop on the tour where music teacher Shane Swezey was named Middle School Teacher of the Year. Swezey originally studied aerospace engineering at Florida State before deciding to pursue a career in music therapy. He has served as a music teacher and therapist at Oak Park School since 2013.
"My background has given me a unique lens to look at music as a tool to help support student learning more holistically," Swezey said.
The Sarasota County Teacher of the Year will be announced at the Education Foundation's Ignite Education Awards Celebration on Dec. 12. The winner receives $5,000 from the foundation while the two finalists will receive an award of $2,500.
