Explore Gimli
Explore the art and history of Gimli, Manitoba
Updated: Apr 9, 2021
4 COVID-safe art and culture spots you might not know about
Summer is around the corner, and if you're a Manitoban, you might already be dreaming about heading to the beach at Gimli. The stunning sunsets and view of the harbour (not to mention, the enticing smell of fish and chips) make it hard to miss. But if you're looking for something new, and safe, to do in Gimli this summer, you might be surprised to learn about its thriving art community and rich history.
We've rounded up a few unmissable cultural stops to add to your next trip to Gimli so you can really explore what makes this community one-of-a-kind. All of the organizations that are opening up this season are doing their part to keep all of their visitors and staff safe and minimize the spread of COVID-19 so you can feel confident about your next visit.
To start, let's take a look at a popular walking spot that is truly one-of-a-kind.
4. The Gimli Art Club Sea Wall
One of the things that makes Gimli such a unique place to visit is its iconic sea wall and murals. With a harbour full of boats and never-ending horizon, it's hard to imagine that you're really inland in Manitoba. Visitors from around the world visit the sea wall gallery every year.
In 1997, the Gimli Art Club started to paint murals on the sea wall. These images show Gimli's history, important events and what life looks like in the Interlake area. The Art Club's artists and members work to create and maintain the murals, creating an outdoor art gallery that is open all year round.
As long as you're at least two metres away from other sea wall visitors, you can safely enjoy this open-air destination. Pro tip: it's even better if you stop by Ye Olde Ice Cream Parlor and get a "smushed" ice cream treat first.
If the sea wall makes you curious about the history of Gimli, you won't want to miss the next stop on our list.
3. New Iceland Heritage Museum
Did you know that Gimli is home to the largest population of Icelanders, outside of Iceland? In 1875, living in Iceland became impossible for many families. A volcanic eruption destroyed acres of land and property, and a plague killed many of the sheep that provided wool and food for Icelanders.
The Canadian government offered Icelandic settlers a chunk of land right in the heart of Manitoba, which is sometimes referred to as New Iceland. Since then, Icelandic culture has thrived and adapted to life in Gimli, creating traditions that tie together the old and the new.
If that sounds like something you'd like to learn more about, you can't miss the New Iceland Heritage Museum on your next trip to Gimli. The museum tells the history of New Iceland through permanent exhibits from its own collection of artifacts, and regularly installs local, regional, national and international temporary exhibits.
For example, this lamp helped light the night as the first Icelandic baby was born on Canadian soil in 1875. As the first group of travellers arrived at the shore of Gimli on a barge, one of the women went into labour. The others rushed to erect tents that were on loan from the Hudson's Bay Company so that the mother and child would have some shelter from the weather. The descendants of that child still live in Gimli today.
The museum is currently open Monday to Saturday and will start operating 7 days a week in mid-May. Museum staff are limiting the number of visitors to 25%, sanitizing throughout the day and enforcing mask wearing so you can safely explore all of the exhibits they have to offer.
Find them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Plus, there's a virtual tour that you can check out at any time.
The museum is a great way to understand Gimli's past, but the next spot on our list gives you a chance to understand art and culture in present-day Gimli.
2. The Gimli Art Club
If you're not an artist yourself, you may not think "art" when you think about Gimli, but the entire Interlake area is home to hundreds of talented artists. Many of them are members at the Gimli Art Club, a combination gallery and workspace that features paintings, mixed media, sculpture, photography and more.
This beautiful little spot was once named a top 10 art gallery in Manitoba, and it's no wonder why – on average, they see 10,000 visitors a year from all over the world. The artists and members run the gallery, so on any given day, you may get to meet the person who created the piece that you're looking at. Not to mention, all of the art is for sale, so you may stumble upon the next great addition to your art collection.
For now, the gallery is open on weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with plans to extend hours starting on May 8. The artists are currently working on a collaborative piece of art to celebrate Manitoba 150: a massive plywood Manitoba cut-out with themed paintings.
The Gimli Art Club is limiting capacity and following all COVID-19 guidelines to ensure safe visits, so be sure to add them to your itinerary next time you're in town. Find them on Facebook and Instagram.
If you're ready to dive back into some Gimli history, then buckle your seat belt because our next spot involves a wild ride.
1. The Gimli Glider Exhibit
In Manitoba, we may think of Gimli as a hub for Icelandic culture and that beautiful sandy beach. However, you may be surprised to learn that around the world, Gimli is known as the famous site of an emergency plane landing that seemed to defy all odds.
In 1983, a passenger flight going from Montreal to Edmonton unexpectedly ran out of fuel and started to descend from 41,000 feet above Manitoba. Using manual calculations and the ingenuity of the flight crew, the pilots targeted Gimli to land the massive aircraft. They couldn't have known that the runway they were aiming for no longer existed, but miraculously, the plane was able to land with no serious injuries.
This unbelievable story is chronicled at the Gimli Glider Exhibit, which goes into all of the astounding details. The story is the basis for several docudramas, articles and podcasts, continuing to fascinate people to this day. Luckily for Manitobans, it's an easy journey to visit the museum and get the full experience of what that landing was like for the flight crew and passengers.
The Gimli Glider Museum plans to open over the long weekend in May with limited capacity and regular sanitizing throughout the day to ensure safety for all visitors.

California Uses Unclaimed Money to Fix Budget Deficit
California tops the chart in unclaimed money laying with the state treasurer. The state is trying its best to get the unclaimed cash to the rightful owners. To reach the owners individually, California government is sending more than 9,000 memos this week. Week after week the reminders are being sent to the businesses as well as individuals to inform them about any unclaimed cash or property in their name.
The state's coffers are getting filled with Unclaimed Property Program that receives unclaimed checks from various banks, insurance companies, utility services, employers, etc. Any financial instrument, if unrealized for more than three years, is categorized as unclaimed money.
U.S. law makes it mandatory for them to hand over unclaimed cash and property to state treasurer. This has resulted in about $5.7 billion unclaimed from more than 11.6 million accounts.
The leading U.S. State, California, is reeling under budgetary deficit. The state is faiiing at all attempts to garner more cash and restrict expenditure. The huge cache of unclaimed money is looked at by Californian politicians as a valuable resource to fill its budgetary gap. Last year, California had $6 billion budgetary deficit and the state's Legislative Analyst's Office projects the deficit to reach $20.7 billion this fiscal year.
In his "May Budget Revise", California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger set guidelines for the state legislature to deal with the state's budget deficit prior to the start of the next fiscal year on July 1.
Governor has proposed complete elimination of the state's Welfare to Work program that provides monthly payments of $694 to unemployed individuals. State's In Home Support Services program is also slated for cuts worth $750 million and further, $602 million is to be cut from the state's Food Stamp Program.
Such stringent methods may curtail the state's overall future growth and welfare schemes. The well-wishers are of the view that as the unclaimed cash is laying dormant even after rigorous attempts by the state; this treasure is likely to remain unclaimed for long time to come. Many citizens and the government are of the view to explore theses reserves to fill up the budget deficit.
Almost every American has some kind of cash laying unclaimed in his name. Surprisingly, they are not even aware of the fact. The California state have sent memos regularly and resorted to various means to inform people about any unclaimed cash in their name. Local newspapers have widely published the lists of unclaimed cash owners.
Californians are urged to carryout online search of any unclaimed cash in their name. Finding this cash is made a lot easier now owing to online presence of databases. With the websites like www.cashunclaimed.com , a person can access various databases of different states to search any unclaimed cash in their name.
Till the rightful owners do not come forward, it will make a good economic sense for the state to utilize the unclaimed money for filling up the deficit.
California shouldn't use your rightly earned money to pay off its deficit! Many Americans have unclaimed money in their name they are not aware of! Go to www.cashunclaimed.com today to do a free search of any unclaimed money which might be owed to you!!

"The Edge…there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over."
~ Hunter S. Thompson
Meditation can be a hell of a thing, especially for those in recovery from addiction or who've suffered a trauma of any kind. It has its own sneaky way of bringing shit up from our pasts that we believed long since gone.
As I sat in meditation recently, I had one of those experiences. It's something I've learned to laugh at now, the absolute ridiculousness of it in a very Bukowski sort of way, but there's of course a small part of my stomach that still knots up when memories like these rear their ugly heads.
This particular memory took place one winter evening circa mid 2000. I was drunk, like, really tying one on drunk, when I decided to order a pizza for delivery. Usually, during my heavy drinking times I could pretty much only eat when I was drunk, and for whatever reason, I could usually only stomach shitty processed foods.
At the time, I was living in one of two basement apartments, which were part of a six-apartment house. In my inebriated state, I was feeling a bit cooped up so I decided to wait for the delivery person on the front porch rather than my apartment, which was located in the rear of the building.
I ventured out and made my way to the front of the house and as I did so, slipped on some ice in the driveway. Luckily, however, I regained my balance before falling down (hello, foreshadowing) which was no small feat for someone three-sheets-to-the-wind.
I made my way to the front of the house, noticed that the street was relatively empty, and that was it…my last memory until I was startled awake in my bed by a cop standing over me yelling, "Where's the dead body?"
I sat up, and everything was blurry. The complete shock of that cop yelling at me, followed by seeing roughly half a dozen police in my living room looking around did manage to temporarily sober me up a bit, but I was still shitfaced. I noticed that it was still dark outside and put two and two together that it was still the same night, but had no recognition of what had happened up to that point.
I don't remember how I responded to any of the officer's questions—regarding dead bodies or otherwise—and my only other real memory from the experience was that of being taken out of my apartment on a stretcher by paramedics.
It was a real scene: an ambulance, fire truck, multiple patrol cars, lights flashing everywhere, my neighbors standing in the driveway/parking area taking it all in, including a supervisor and co-worker from work who just happened to be driving by (my job at the time was located less than a minute from where I lived, at the end of my street).
I woke up the next morning in the hospital feeling a special kind of shit-tastic.
I was still drunk but not drunk enough to mask the nausea or pain that engulfed the majority of my body. The hospital psychologist eventually made her way in to see me, and that's when I found out what went down to bring the police to my apartment in the first place.
So it goes like this: the delivery guy arrived with my pizza and called my cell to let me know he was out front. After two unanswered calls (per checking my cell history the next day), he drove around back to my basement apartment door, which I'd apparently left about halfway open.
My apartment was very small, so tight that everything — the kitchen, living room, my bedroom—could basically be seen standing in the entrance of the apartment. Apparently the delivery guy got quite the surprise when he poked his head into my half open door and saw a big puddle of blood on the kitchen floor, followed by what he thought was my dead body (complete with a bloody face and everything) sprawled out on my bed. He immediately proceeded to call 911 and report what he thought may have been a dead body, since I wasn't acknowledging or responding to anything he said to me.
Once my B.A.C. (blood alcohol content) level reached below .08, the legal limit in CT, I was released from the hospital. I didn't call anyone for a ride. It was only a three mile walk so I went for it, though it was a tough three miles because beside the hangover in full effect, my belt had gotten lost somewhere in the mix of all of this, so I had to hold my pants up the entire walk home. (I prefer to wear pants that are one size bigger than my waistline because, I don't know, I just do.)
When I got back to the apartment the first thing I saw was the bloodstain on the tile floor, which was basically dry at this point. I wasn't fazed in the least. I proceeded to open the cabinet next to the blood, which is where I'd often leave my alcohol, hoping there was still some in there and…hallelujah, there was! Enough at least to get me drunk-ish, which would allow for me to shower before heading out to the store to get more liquor to sustain me for the day.
I walked over to the couch, jug of vodka in hand, sat down and looked back over at the puddle of blood. I laughed an insane fuck you death kind of laugh to myself. The kind that told death I'd won again…at least this time.
I then glanced down at the coffee table in front of me and saw my copy of the Bhagavad Gita and Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text both sitting there. My laugh subsided for a brief moment as did the insanity. I became aware of how fucking crazy of an experience it was that I'd just gone through…but that moment of clarity was short lived, as I was nowhere near ready to face the magnitude of said insanity.
So I smiled a crooked and painful smile, raised my jug of vodka in the direction of the Gita and Basic Text in a taunting sort of way, and I drank deeply. So deeply that when I stopped, it was only because I had to take a deep breath.
Returning to present day, as I came out of meditation and the memory of this experience, I stopped and breathed deeply, however this breath was accompanied with serenity rather than vodka.
I then looked over to my bookshelf where I still have those copies of the Gita and Basic Text, and smiled at them. This time however, my smile was one of heartfelt gratitude rather than that of insane mockery.
It was a smile of appreciation to be living a life once was lost, but that today, just for today, is found.

The Story:
The campaign for the Democratic nomination for President has changed considerably in recent days, due first to the South Carolina primary on February 28th and then the "Super Tuesday" primary in 14 states on March 3. The remaining active candidates are: Vice President Biden; Senator Bernie Sanders; and Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Super Tuesday Results:
On Tuesday, Biden won most of the states at issue. His biggest prize was Texas. (The result in California is still unclear as these words are written.) He has now taken the lead in the delegate count, a situation that was unthinkable until the counting got underway. Massachusetts, Minnesota, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Oklahoma all went clearly to Biden.
Sanders won Colorado, Utah, and Vermont (his home state). That is a much shorter roll call of victories than his campaign had expected.
Neither Elizabeth Warren nor Mike Bloomberg won any states. Bloomberg withdrew from the campaign on Wednesday.
The Thing to Know:
This is a dramatic turnaround for Biden, whose campaign was flailing through the end of last year and the early weeks of this one. Credit for the turnaround goes to Biden's long-standing ties to influential people in the African-American communities of the states involved, especially Congressman Jim Clyburn (SC), the senior ranking African-American on Capitol Hill.

Artists' Colonies in the World / The World in Artists' Colonies.
Models for writing art history range between globalised world views, national, regional or local histories, and the enduring individual monograph. None of these, however, can comfortably accommodate the artists' colony. Colonies usually attract artists from elsewhere, of differing nationalities, brought together in a single geo-spatial frame. They may cohere owing to the appeal of a particular 'master', such as Gleizes at Moly-Sabata, or location renowned for natural beauty, such as Pont-Aven or Taos. Alternatively, they may arise from the invitation of a wealthy patron, as at Darmstadt, or the simple expedient of affordable studio accommodation as at Merioola in Sydney or Lina Bryan's Darebin House in Melbourne. Perhaps even the ubiquitous artist residency can be considered within the frame of the artists' colony. Regardless, artists' colonies bring disparate artists into close proximity with one another, generating a wealth of anecdotal records that can obscure or illuminate depending on the adopted model of writing. They also physically occupy a space that is not, by rights, the residents' own, creating a relationship that often has its own dynamic.
Stemming from a current Australian Research Council Discovery project examining the post- WW2 Abbey Art Centre, in New Barnet, England, we invite researchers working on artists' colonies from anywhere and of any period to consider the impact of such collectives on an individual artist or the wider artistic community. Possible topics to explore include: the study of a particular artists' colony or artist or group of artists who have spent time in an artists' colony; the possibility of an artists' colony producing an identifiable style shared by its artists; the commonality of or differences between artists' colonies across a country or continent; the difference between artists' colonies featuring artists from overseas and Indigenous-run art centres; and the relationship between artists' colonies and national art history. In particular, we welcome papers that attempt to theorise the artists' colony as an alternate model for writing art history altogether.
This is a dual-delivery conference, comprising a series of 20-minute presentations followed by questions, with the option of presenting either in person at the University of Melbourne or online.
Possible topics to explore include:
--the study of a particular artists' colony or artist or group of artists who have spent time in an artists' colony;
--the possibility of an artists' colony producing an identifiable style shared by its artists;
--the commonality of or differences between artists' colonies across a country or continent;
--the difference between artists' colonies featuring artists from overseas and Indigenous-run art centres;
--and the relationship between artists' colonies and national art histories.
In particular, we welcome papers that attempt to theorise the artists' colony as an alternate model for writing art history altogether.
Please send an abstract (max. 200 words), to jleckettunimelb.edu.au and sheridan.palmerunimelb.edu.au by 30 August 2022. Please also provide the following details:
--Your name and institutional affiliation.
--Your email address and phone number
--The title of your paper
--Professional biography (max. 100 words)

Grieving Your Pet? Here's Why You Shouldn't Feel Pressured to Rush the Process
"I shouldn't have let him out this morning," I said tearfully — my face buried in my hands. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I'd just learned that my pet cat, Polo, had been hit by a car and killed.
I spent the next week weeping more often than not, and showering my other two cats with even more affection than usual. I alternated between deep sadness, guilt, anger, and disbelief — more than once I thought I heard Polo playing on my porch. I knew he was dead; his body was whole enough for me to pet him one last time before we buried him with his favorite toy, but it had already started to stiffen from rigor mortus. I watched my dad bury him, and I decorated his grave with stones, pinecones, and bits of pine needles from the forest floor when the burial was finished. Yet in the early days following his death, I still half-expected to see Polo running through the woods behind my cabin, meowing the whole time to let me know he was ready to come back inside.
That was over five months ago, and I'm still not "over" Polo's death. I don't think I ever will be. In fact, simply remembering the morning he died makes me cry. Choosing photos of him for this essay made me cry. Watching videos of him makes me cry. Visiting his grave makes me cry. He was part of my life for less than two years, and I feel like I'll miss him forever.
Guilt can play a role in prolonging grief after the loss of a pet — perhaps especially if you euthanized your companion animal after a long illness, or if you feel like you should have done more to protect them or keep them healthy — but society's treatment of pet bereavement plays a big role as well. Society generally doesn't allow people the time and space to openly grieve the loss of their pets in the same way it allows people to grieve the loss of other loved ones, and research suggests the undue emotional pain that arises from this lack of validation may be why it takes so long to "get over" the loss of a pet. Unless you work for an animal protection agency, your employer isn't likely to offer time off for pet bereavement. And in my experience, many of the same people who would attempt to comfort and support you after the loss of a loved one, the ending of an intimate relationship, or even a job loss, won't extend that same consideration to you after the loss of a pet.
But as Scientific American reported in a 2018 article titled, "Why We Need to Take Pet Loss More Seriously," people tend to grieve the loss of a pet for an entire year. In one severe case of pet bereavement, which was originally reported by the New England Journal of Medicine in 2017, a woman actually experienced takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or "broken heart syndrome" — a condition in which the body's response to grief is so strong that sufferers experience heart attack-like symptoms — after the death of her dog. Further, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital recently discovered that children may exhibit signs of depression for three years or more after the loss of a beloved pet. Pet grief is grief, and it should be treated as such.
Whether you just lost a pet or you've been grieving the loss of your companion animal for months, (or even years) the grief you're experiencing is valid. It's completely normal and acceptable to be heartbroken when you lose someone, human or not. Personally, I'm not interested in "getting over" my Polo's death, because that's not how grief works. It is my goal, however, to celebrate him and his short life whenever I can — whether that looks like remembering all the sweet and silly moments we shared, reminiscing about him with friends and family, or eventually displaying his photo in my home.
I know I'll always miss Polo, but I'm so grateful I got to know him. He brought me so much joy during the global hellscape that was 2020, and while I wish he could have lived much longer, I'm grateful for every night we spent curled up together and every day we went hiking together. Maybe someday I'll be able to look at pictures of him without crying, or maybe I won't. Regardless, I won't put a deadline on my grief, and I hope you won't either.

Protein-Fat Bypass Supplement for Lactating Dairy Cows
Holstein cows (n = 46) were fed free choice a silage mixture balanced weekly throughout lactation using 13 and 36% CP grains to individualize CP for each cow; grains contained 15 and 20% of distillers grains with solubles, respectively. Cows were blocked by parity (1 vs. >1) and assigned at calving to receive a commercial bypass protein-fat supplement at 0 (control) or 6% of weekly projected 4% FCM yield throughout lactation. In peak lactation, supplementation raised dietary fat from 4.3 to 6.0% of DM, NEL from 1.64 to 1.70 Mcal/kg of DM, and undegradable protein from 42 to 47% of CP and contributed about 25 and 20% of total CP in early and late lactation. Supplement reduced forage and total DMI significantly, which negated the potential nutritional value of the supplement. Reduction in protein content of milk from supplemented cows was small but significant; BW and yields of milk, SCM, and 4% FCM were not significantly affected by treatment. Supplementation increased fat test in parity 1 cows and lowered it in older cows. In wk 5 to 8, 21 to 24, and 37 to 40 postpartum, cows consumed 100 to 116% of the NRC recommendations of undegradable protein but only 65 to 94% of degradable CP needs; NEL intake generally was adequate except for primiparous cows in early lactation. Supplementation lowered Lys intake in early lactation. Addition of rumen-protected fat and undegradable, high quality protein mixture to the diet of lactating cows cannot be effective if its use reduces DMI or if degradable protein intake is inadequate.

Emma's Quest by T. R. Willard
Let's discover the path on Emma's quest, to protect and respect the earthlings among us.
Information about the Book
Title: Emma's Quest
Author: T. R. Willard
Release Date: 24th June 2021
Genre: Picture Book
Page Count: 48
Publisher: Clink Street Publishing
Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emmas-Quest-T-R-Willard/dp/1913340805
My Review
Emma's Quest is a cute book aimed at younger children, but it may be a little better for slightly older children. It follows a little girl named Emma, who gets lonely and decides to go on a quest to find some friends. Her mom lets her go off alone, and along the way, she finds a snake, a cow a bear, and a dog.
Each creature is asked if they would like to be friends with Emma, and each time, the creatures worry they may become something else at the hands of Emma (i.e. a steak, a bearskin rug, a handbag, or a "bait" dog). This is a bit dark and maybe not entirely appropriate for younger readers, as I don't think they'd understand the full implications of what happens to these animals in real life.
I suppose if a young reader is a bit more mature and can have a conversation about things like where steak/beef comes from, or that bears are skinned for rugs, then that's fine. I would definitely suggest having that conversation and explaining that these things happen, and that it's okay to eat meat (in terms of the cow worrying about becoming steak).
While the story is a bit on the darker side for younger readers, it is illustrated nicely, and the rhyming scheme is easy to read.
I'd give Emma's Quest 4 stars.

Companies are thinking about how and when to have employees come back to work. Due to social distancing requirements, many are realizing that they will only be able to have up to 50% of employees return to offices at most.
At the same time, many companies are realizing that remote work has worked better than they expected. They are now asking themselves whether they should keep some portion of their work force remote indefinitely.
For most companies, it will be a mix of remote and in-office. Here's why:
Some employees are unable to stay remote indefinitely, because they are in difficult situations at home (studio apartment, no dedicated working space, distractions etc). Even when schools reopen and caregivers return to work, this will only partially alleviate the problem.
Some employees don't want to return to the office, because they are happier and more productive at home. Once given, items are more difficult to take away, and top talent will come to expect remote work as an option.
A common piece of advice one hears is that a hybrid state of remote and in-office is the worst of both worlds. But given the requirements above, most companies will end up here. So what is the solution?
Options B and C likely require a remote-first culture to be successful.
The solution is to embrace the hybrid state and give it the best chance of success by turning your company into a remote-first culture.
Remote first means there is no disadvantage to working at home versus in-office. All employees have the same experience. If you don't make the culture remote-first, you create a prisoner's dilemma that encourages people to keep coming into offices.
Here is what remote-first means in practice:
Even if some employees are in one office, they each dial in separately to meetings.
Employees dialing in to meetings from the office can do so from their desk, but they may want privacy in phone booth style small meeting rooms.
Companies will start to maintain lightweight offices in more cities (probably managed by third parties like WeWork), for employees who still want to come into an office, or direct employees to join co-working spaces. The rest will work from home. There will be less emphasis on a centralized headquarters with an expensive buildout that is customized to one company.
In the lightweight offices, companies will allocate some portion of desks that are first come first serve. Consulting companies have been doing this for years.
Teams will rely more on wikis and written documentation. Gitlab has over 5,000 pages of public documentation about how they operate, and tools like Notion have made this easier than ever.
Opening up most roles to remote work increases the top of funnel, but for everyone to have an equal experience it is beneficial to have employees clustered in certain time zones so that they can work together during the day.
Location and commute are one of the biggest challenges companies face when hiring and retaining team members. I frequently hear "soul crushing commute" cited as a factor in departures here in San Francisco, and several friends have commented to me how much more productive/happy they are with an additional 1–2 hours every day where they are not commuting. Opening roles up to remote also dramatically increases the top of the funnel (probably by 1–2 orders of magnitude). A major part of recruiting effort is spent in convincing candidates and their families, often unsuccessfully, to relocate.
There is a fiercely competitive market for talent out there, especially in major hub cities. I believe that as more companies come to offer remote work options, companies who don't will be at a disadvantage.
As a company headquartered in San Francisco, employees have struggled with the rising cost of housing, long commutes, and to some extent quality of life. Part of the vision for Coinbase is to create a world with more economic freedom, and not being tied to one location is a key part of this. I expect that more companies over time will try to avoid vendor lock in, not just in the traditional sense, but in terms of where they are located.
For those who have a suitable work environment set up at home (which is definitely not everyone), there is an aspect of remote work that just seems more fun. Employees can spend time in different cities without taking vacation days, see their children grow up, and avoid noisy or interruption prone offices.
Of course, it's true that remote work is not better in all aspects.
The early stages of remote work can feel more productive, as you finally get to race through your backlogged todo list. But what happens when alignment (that was largely generated in person), starts to fade? Moreover, how do we replace the unplanned moments of serendipity, walking by someone's desk or lunch table, that lead to new ideas and innovation. More practically, how do you replace the whiteboard?
Potential mitigant: host regular in person meetups for each team, say twice a year.
Working remotely can get lonely. It will be interesting to learn more about remote work's impact on morale, belonging, loyalty, and retention.
Potential mitigant: recreate team bonding moments virtually, with a variety of tools coming on the market [12], in addition to bi-annual in person meetups.
While it's relatively straightforward to get employees the equipment they need, the real question is whether they have the space to use it. Home offices are a bit of a luxury, and a far cry from what many SF residents experience. High rent means less space and more roommates — not ideal for a home office.
Potential mitigant: Give employees the option to work from co-working spaces, or more lightweight offices that the company maintains in certain locations. Give employees budgets and guidance on great work from home setups. [1] Remote work also opens up hiring to lower cost of living locations where employees may have more space.
It could be tempting for employees to relax their standards without a manager nearby. Remote work comes with a lot of freedom, so it's important to have high trust that employees will deliver high quality work. An interesting choice to explore is whether remote work should be the default or an earned privilege.
Potential mitigant: practice measuring outputs, not inputs. Note: this is probably best practice in general, since it's easy to appear busy in an office as well, without getting much done.
It can be more difficult for more new and less experienced employees to get up to speed when there is no neighbor to turn to and ask for help.
Potential mitigant: emphasize in onboarding that it is not just ok, but expected, to ask for help if you are stuck on something for more than 15 minutes. Invest in better documentation using wiki software like Notion and Confluence.
Remote work suffers when teammates don't have overlapping times of day where they can collaborate.
Potential mitigant: Publish a set of tier 1 (preferred), tier 2 (tolerated), and tier 3 (only approved by exception) time zones to focus your recruiting efforts.
I was initially skeptical of remote work as a way to build a top tier company, but I must say that this forced experiment, brought about by COVID19, has really made me reconsider. Companies have an incredible amount of overhead maintaining various offices and getting employees to show up in the right places physically. It reminds me of companies managing their own data centers before AWS. A remote company can be more nimble and dynamic.
I also can't wait to see how remote work tools advance with this new wave of investment. VR, whiteboards, and getting all the little details right around lighting, sharing, knowing when to speak, etc will improve greatly in the coming years. Today, an in person meeting is still better than remote (all else being equal), but that gap is closing.
We are trying to figure this out, along with everyone else, and I would say my thinking on it is still evolving. I wanted to collect my thoughts in one place here to help us learn, share with others, and get additional feedback. I'm sure our thinking will continue to evolve over time.
If you are interested in figuring out the future of remote work with us, please check out our open roles and apply for a position. You may be seeing more remote roles open here soon!

The Hall of Fame Selection Committee has announced the 17 finalists for the 2014 class to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis is not one of them. Neither are Steve Atwater or Karl Mecklenburg. John Lynch (2004-2007) is the lone Denver Bronco among them.
The 15 modern finalists and 2 Senior recommendations are:
K Morten Andersen - Saints, Falcons, Giants, Chiefs, Vikings
RB Jerome Bettis - Rams, Steelers
LB Derrick Brooks - Buccaneers
WR Tim Brown - Raiders, Buccaneers
Owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr - 49ers
Coach Tony Dungy - Vikings, Buccaneers, Colts
LB/DE Kevin Greene - Rams, Steelers, Panthers, 49ers
P Ray Guy - Raiders
DE/LB Charles Haley - 49ers, Cowboys
WR Marvin Harrison - Colts
DE Claude Humphrey - Falcons, Eagles
T Walter Jones - Seahawks
S John Lynch - Buccaneers, Broncos
WR Andre Reed - Bills, Redskins
G Will Shields - Chiefs
DE Michael Strahan - Giants
CB/S Aeneas Williams - Cardinals, Rams
I don't want to take anything away from John Lynch. He was a good Bronco while he was with us. However, he was an even better Buccaneer and that's why he'll go in as one. Kudos and limitless credit unto and all over Lynch.
I am absolutely furious over Terrell Davis. You're telling me that Bettis gets a second look before Terrell Davis?! Are you joking? Bettis has one less Super Bowl victory, one less Super Bowl MVP, one less 2,000-yard rushing season, one less League MVP.... But did he had twice the career to NOT do it in. It makes me so angry I could literally throw up.
Atwater? COME ON FELLAS! 8-time Pro-Bowler, 2-time First Team All-Pro, 2-time Super Bowl Champion? Nothing?! John Lynch only went to one Pro-Bowl more than Atwater, but won one fewer Super Bowl. Atwater had more tackles and nearly as many interceptions. Travesty!
...and then there's poor Karl Mecklenburg. As much as it kills me to say it, Karl has to wait in line. There's another great Denver Broncos linebacker whose omission is an even more egregious failure on the part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Randy Gradishar's lack of recognition is a crime. It just wouldn't be fair to let Karl in before Randy. Randy needs his due. So does Karl, but damn... for a joke this crap ain't funny.
Remember folks, the Broncos are the winningest NFL franchise over the last 30 years (Pat Bowlen's stewardship). Obviously, that kind of thing just sort of happens without decent players, right? Clearly the Pro Football Hall of Fame thinks so.
Go Broncos!

The Thai-Cambodian border is the epicenter for new malaria strains. It's the result of poorly regulated pharmaceutical sales, an early switch to artemisinin-based drugs, and a landscape that breeds plenty of mosquitoes. The region is consistently first to be hit by new forms of drug resistant malaria, and serves as advance warning for the rest of the world. New forms may start out in Cambodia, but they spread fast.
So, the new malaria strain that has been discovered in a Cambodian village is bad news. First identified in January this year, the new strain was showing resistance to artemisinin combination therapy. It was still killing malaria parasites, but it was taking longer for the combo drugs to kill it.
Now, almost a year later, the situation has gotten worse. Artemisinin combination therapy has continued to lose effectiveness. A malaria expert in Bangkok, Dr. Nick White, is quoted in a new AP article as saying that "This is not business as usual. It's something really special and it needs a real concerted effort," and that virtually every case of malaria he sees in Western Cambodia is resistant to drugs.
Resistant malaria isn't going to stop in Western Cambodia. Malaria parasites still respond to new drug regimens. We need new malaria combination treatments, and we need their use to be strictly enforced. This is not an easy thing to do, but the alternative is a planet with malaria rates like we saw in the 1700s. More deaths, and more geographic prevalence in our warmer planet.

Chiropractic Services Are Plentiful
Chiropractic services are provided by Doctors of Chiropractic Care. Pain is nearly always the reason someone considers or contacts a Chiropractor. Dr. Larry Parent understands pain and the necessary treatment to relieve pain. One of the first things you can expect is a physical exam which usually includes a series of X-rays. The X-rays will be of great help in determining if your skeletal system is properly aligned. They do not however, show any damage or interference with any soft tissue such as ligaments, tendons, nerves, cartilage, or muscles. Soft tissue is best observed and studied by using an MRI.
Chiropractors offer their chiropractic services most often to relieve pain. Therapeutic massage may be included in their recommended pain relief regimen. Therapeutic tables are standard practice and procedure within the chiropractic community. These therapy tables provide relaxation and the stretching of your bodies soft tissue and may supplement therapeutic massage.
Chiropractic Care Can Reduce Pain
Specific exercise and physical therapy are tools used by many chiropractors to assist them in providing you with a pain free or pain reduced life. Learning or relearning proper body movement can be helpful in understanding how to do certain things. Some of these newly learned skills may involve bending over, stretching, posture, and even proper walking techniques.
Common chiropractic services may also include spinal adjustments or spinal manipulation. Pinched Nerves are often the source of pain and relieving the nerves contact with a bone can provide enormous amounts of relief. Adjusting the alignment of your spinal column and keeping it properly aligned may be the exact pain relief you need. A pinched nerve can take you to your knees almost immediately and it is nothing to fool with.
Doctors of Chiropractic have been highly trained. They understand the entire skeletal system of the human body. Chiropractors are totally versed with the nervous system and the muscular system as well! These highly trained Doctors understand pain, the causes of pain, and how to treat and reduce pain.
If you suffer from pain regularly contact a chiropractor at your earliest convenience. Contact Us Today!

A start-up for malaria testing
A start-up for malaria testing
Gabriela Figueroa Miranda (right) and Viviana Rincón Montes want to launch an innovative malaria testing device.
Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. An innovative rapid diagnostic test from Jülich can detect it quickly and reliably. This increases the chances of recovery.
Asmall prick of the needle in the finger is all it takes: the new test device analyzes the drop of blood welling up and immediately determines whether the tested person has malaria with the same easy and quick technique as blood sugar tests. Around 220 million people worldwide contract malaria every year, mostly in Africa. According to the Robert Koch Institute, over half a million people die, mostly children under five.
Picture above: Gabriela Figueroa Miranda (right) and Viviana Rincón Montes want to launch an innovative malaria testing device.
One of the most effective strategies to change this would be nationwide rapid testing. If an infection with a malaria parasite is detected early enough, it can be treated and cured. Biomedical engineer Dr. Gabriela Figueroa Miranda from the Institute of Biological Information Processing (IBI-3) is developing a new biosensor that general practitioners or even patients themselves can use to do a test without complicated pre-treatment. "The device is intended to be easy to use by anyone at home, in schools and hospitals. It consists of a single-use chip sensor that is dipped into the patient's drop of blood and a small and reusable portable reader that a doctor can carry in his or her coat pocket at all times," says Figueroa Miranda.
The most reliable detection method to date has been PCR tests, but these are not very suitable for rapid detection. They require cleaning steps, analytical equipment, reagents and are also time-consuming. Other rapid diagnostic tests that detect malaria through antibodies only provide reliable results from 200 parasites per microlitre. The malaria biosensor developed by the Jülich researchers has already succeeded in detecting 50 parasites per microlitre, thus exceeding the standards required by the World Health Organization.
Little helpers
For her new rapid diagnostic test, Figueroa Miranda relies on so-called aptamers, which she has been researching for six years. Behind this somewhat unwieldy name is an artificially created DNA molecule that, like antibodies, attaches itself to proteins and generates a measurable signal. The researcher uses a special aptamer that detects malaria. It attaches itself to proteins of the plasmodium parasites responsible for triggering the febrile illness. In contrast to antibodies in previously common rapid diagnostic tests, aptamers are very stable over a long period of time and insensitive to environmental influences.
In order to turn basic research into a marketable product, the scientist plans to found a start-up together with her colleague Dr. Viviana Rincon Montes. "I didn't just want to develop a biosensor in the lab, I wanted to bring a wearable device to series production," says Figueroa Miranda. The two are already working on turning the current laboratory device into a handy prototype about the size of a blood glucose meter.
From the lab into practice
Their rapid diagnostic test is to be used in countries that greatly suffer from malaria, especially in Africa, Asia and South America. She thus asked NGOs, research institutes and clinics what is important for it to be accepted. "Our test meets all the criteria mentioned. It's robust, easy to use, displays accurate values and is also affordable," says Figueroa Miranda. There is another advantage, however. While, with the previous tests, the persons tested could only find out whether or not they were infected, the new test also reveals the amount of the pathogen present and which of the two most common types of pathogens live in the blood – doing so even in the early stages of the disease. The Jülich researcher makes it clear: "With this knowledge, the doctor can treat the patient faster and with more appropriate medication." This can save lives.
Katja Engel
The project presentation by the researchers at this year's Jülich end-of-year lecture evening can be found here.
Gold detects pathogens
Tiny gold beads lie on a glass slide, covered with a drop of blood. Every now and then a small flash of light comes on. "This is the sign that the beads have just tracked down a protein of the malaria parasite," says Dr. Dirk Mayer (pictured), group leader at the Institute of Biological Information Processing (IBI-3). He, too, is working on methods to detect malaria. However, he is taking a different approach than his colleague Gabriela Figueroa Miranda. His goal is not a test kit for quick, on-site diagnoses, but a concept for a fundamentally new method to detect even the smallest amounts of pathogens. He measures optical instead of electrical signals. To this end, he uses small metal spheres on which he attaches antibodies and aptamers as a kind of sniffer dog. If they detect a malaria pathogen, a tiny flash of light is produced. "The spheres are arranged in a honeycomb-shaped grid. This honeycomb field amplifies the small flashes of light so that even the slightest traces of infection are visually indicated," he explains. His method detects the disease if there are 50 malaria parasites in one microlitre of blood. It measures whole-blood samples without complicated pre-treatment and is therefore simpler and faster than a PCR test.
Another advantage: "In principle, the method also works for highthroughput measurements, where tens of thousands of samples are tested simultaneously and automatically," explains the Jülich researcher. It could also be used to quickly and simultaneously test many blood samples for other diseases caused by viruses and bacteria, such as influenza or COVID-19.

It's getting close to the time where I start thinking about changing over to a fall palate. Truthfully I love fall colors. In the spring I crave pinks and aquamarine but by the end of summer give me deep purples and forest greens. I need to update some of makeup so I'm going to be making a trip to Ulta/Sephora soon.
That deep purple nail polish would be for toes. Man, I need a pedicure badly! I'm digging the smoky eye and that Too Faced Palatte says that it makes the smoky eye simple. I think that I need that!

Two blood transfusions were given in one week by a Blantyre labourer in an effort to save the life of a 13-year-old boy, the son of fellow-worker, but were sadly unsuccessful.
The boy, Douglas Semple was thirteen years old, the son of Mr and Mr Semple of Gate Cottage, Low Blantyre. He died at Glasgow Royal Infirmary on Sunday 6th September 1936, after a week's illness. Douglas had been removed to the infirmary suffering from blood poisoning caused bv scratching one of his fingers with wire. On 31st August 1936, it became evident that the only hope of saving the boys life was amputating his arm, but his condition was too feeble that the operation could not performed without blood transfusion.
His father, who was employed as a turbine attendant at Priory Colliery suggested the name of a young labourer Michael Finnon, also employed the colliery. On arrival, Finnon's blood was tested and found to be suitable, and transfusion operation was carried out. The boys arm was afterwards amputated. Last it was found that the boy needed more blood, and again gave a transfusion.
The Semple's lived at Gate Cottage, one of the Blantyre Works Toll houses, that was erected created the gated entry to "The Village". Each cottage sat on the corner of Rosebank Avenue and Knightswood Terrace. The Semples were known to be still living there during the 1950s.

Charlotte Office Rents Reach Record Highs As New Jobs Flood The Market
As newcomers continue to flock to Charlotte, employers and investors are taking notice: More than 30,000 jobs were added in 2017, fueling an office boom as new construction and adaptive reuse projects thrived.
Office rents continued their climb in Q4, with central business district Class-A rents crossing $32.03/SF for the first time in Charlotte, according to a new office report by JLL.
"Simply put, employment drives real estate," JLL Director of Research Paul Hendershot said.
Over the past five years, Charlotte has experienced faster employment growth then Dallas and Denver and over double that of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City, he said. Unemployment dropped to 4.3% in Q4 from 5.3% a year ago.
The JLL report highlighted key leases in Q4, including RSM's 36,357 SF at 300 South Tryon and WeWork's expansion into 90K SF at 615 South College. The Midtown/South End areas saw almost 500K SF of new construction, including The Refinery, 300 West Summit and The RailYard. The Tompkins Hall adaptive reuse project is undergoing renovations in a former textile mill and will open with anchor tenant Duke Energy. The Hub at Waverly delivered 154K SF of office and the proposed Lincoln Harris Rea Farms development could bring close to 500K SF of Class-A office.
"Unprecedented levels of investment and employment growth has fostered a thriving commercial real estate market, outpacing the United States and our southeastern peers in terms of rental grown and new construction," Hendershot said.
The report counted among Charlotte's strengths in the office sector a low cost of doing business, accessibility to major cities via Charlotte Douglas International Airport, strong infrastructure and expanding transit options. Hendershot predicted that by the end of 2018, office rents could cross $41/SF in the urban core.
"Employment growth is also nurturing a diverse economy, while finance and energy still serve as the region's calling cards. Fintech, healthcare and creative industries are realizing strong employment growth, reimagining the economic landscape," he said.
