20 Surprising Facts About Caffeine
Are you a keen coffee or tea drinker? There is probably still a lot you don't know about caffeine. In this article, Beauty and Tips takes a look at 20 surprising facts about caffeine.
Let's face it, you're here because you love your beverages. Coffee, tea or even energy drinks, you can't get enough of them! Perhaps you've been drinking them a little too much recently and wanted to find out more about caffeine, the magical pick-me-up inside your drink that boosts your energy levels and makes you more alert in the mornings? In moderation, caffeine is wonderful. It freshens us up, sharpens our focus, and gives us that all-important boost in energy. But too much caffeine has been associated with a few nasty side effects, including heart failure. How can something so wonderful also be so mean!? Let's find out with these 20 surprising facts about caffeine.
Caffeine Works Pretty Quickly
Caffeine isn't one to mess around. Pretty much as soon as you drink it, it gets to work, raising your energy levels and making sure you're more focused. Hey, this is what you pay it for! After just thirty minutes inside your blood, it may have already reached its peak. If you're a hardcore coffee drinker, your body will usually expel most of the caffeine within three hours. A few bits and pieces will continue to linger for about eight hours, but you won't feel their effects as strongly. Of course, how tolerant your body is to caffeine depends on how often you drink it. A first-time coffee drinker? They probably won't sleep for days afterwards! (we're kidding)
There Are Right And Wrong Times To Consume Caffeine
Cortisol. Heard of it? Cortisol a stress hormone that we need to stay alert and "on the ball." However, too much cortisol in our system can cause all kinds of issues, including diabetes over the long run, weight gain, tiredness, impaired brain function and immune infections. When you first wake up, your body produces such a rush of cortisol that it's important you don't add to it with caffeine. Instead, it's better to wait an hour or two. Around midday, your body produces even more cortisol. As such, it's important not to drink caffeine until around 3pm.
Energy Drinks Contain Less Caffeine Than A Cup Of Coffee
You'd think the opposite was true, and that energy drinks had more caffeine than coffee – after all, the clue is in the name, right?! However, while a few horror stories have surfaced about people suffering heart failure after drinking too many energy drinks in a short period of time, the reality is that a straightforward cup of Joe actually contains way more caffeine than a can of Red Bull. The average energy drink contains around 80mg of caffeine, whereas a cup of black coffee can contain as much as 200mg. Wow! However, this doesn't mean energy drinks are the smarter, healthier choice. They're also loaded with sugar and ingredients that no one can pronounce.
The Average American Drinks The Equivalent Of One Cup Of Coffee Per Day
We all know that Americans love their coffee. But did you know that they consume 200mg of caffeine each day? That's every single one of them, on average. Since a single cup of coffee can contain as much as 200mg of caffeine, it means that Americans get through a whole cup of coffee EACH every day. However, because soda also contains caffeine (and less than a cup of coffee), it also means that the average American gets through the equivalent of FOUR glasses of soda per day. That's a lot, but that isn't all. Some estimates reckon the number is more like 300mg of caffeine per day.
However, The Americans Are Not The Biggest Caffeine Consumers
When we think of the diet of the average American, a few things spring to mind: Hot dogs, donuts, peanut butter, hamburgers, baloney – and coffee. Wheres the Brits are famed for their love of tea, Americans are known for their fondness for coffee. However, despite the average American consuming 200mg of caffeine per day, they don't consume the most caffeine out of all the nationalities. Nope, that particularly dubious honours must go to … Finland! Finland might not be a country most of us associate with caffeine consumption, but the average Finn downs as much as 400mg of caffeine each day. That's a lot, huh?
Moreover, We Drink Less Coffee Now Than Ever
Coffee had its heyday in the 1950s, with coffee consumption peaking right after the end of the second world war. However, although the average American drinks the equivalent of one cup of coffee per day, and although the Finns drink even more than that, we as a collective drink less than we did back in 1950. That seems remarkable when you consider that there is a Starbucks literally everywhere these days. That begs the question: How much coffee were people drinking in 1950?! Answer: Too much!
500mg Each Day Is Considered Too Much
It's the question coffee drinkers have always wanted to know the answer to: How much coffee is considered too much? While 200mg of caffeine per day is the norm in America (which equates to one large cup of coffee and two small ones), 500mg of caffeine per day is considered too much. To consume 500mg of caffeine each day, you'd have to drink as many as five small cups of coffee or eight energy drinks. Anyone who would do that knows that that's excessive. 500mg of caffeine each day isn't what we'd call dangerous, but it can make you irritable, and it can prevent you from sleeping at night. Moreover, it can also cause a fast heartbeat, which can be a cause for concern.
Yes, You Can Die From Too Much Caffeine
It's rare that someone actually drops dead from drinking too much caffeine – but it does happen. One would have to drink a LOT of coffee in one day to put themselves at risk, with 30 cups of Joe enough to cause potentially fatal issues. However, it isn't usually cups of coffee that kill. Pure powered caffeine has caused the death of young people in the past, as have weight-loss aids and supplements. These are concentrated products that can be dangerous if the individual doesn't pay attention to the guidelines. For example, a single teaspoon of pure powdered caffeine contains just as much caffeine as 28 cups of coffee! Why do people buy these products? It's often young people who need to stay alert for their studies, or athletes who want to boost their performance. People looking to lose weight might buy weight loss pills that contain caffeine, too.
Caffeine Is A Drug – But One That's Socially Acceptable
Drugs aren't usually accepted by so many social groups. So what makes caffeine so special? It's probably because it improves our mood, sharpens our concentration and increases our longevity. All things that alcohol doesn't!
Caffeine Has A Darker Side, Too
Of course, caffeine has nasty side effects too. It can cause anxiety, restlessness and – as mentioned – even death, but this, very rarely. Don't worry.
Caffeine Is Easy To Get Hooked To
Not only can you die from too much caffeine (although let's repeat – it's very unlikely), but it's possible to get hooked really easily. Like, really easily. True, a number of us are getting our caffeine fix from the likes of tea and soda, which have less caffeine in them. But wherever we get our fix from, it doesn't take us long at all to get dependent. In fact, you can get hooked on caffeine after just 100mg of the stuff! That's the equivalent of as little as five ounces of coffee – or 3 cans of coke! After you've drank 3 cans of coke, say in one day, it's totally possible to then experience withdrawal if you go a few days afterwards without touching the stuff. Symptoms will include irritability, headache and lethargy.
Best Way To Get A Rush of Caffeine?
Sure, there might be lots of alternatives to coffee on the market today. But coffee is still the number one beverage to turn to when you need a rush of caffeine.
What's The Deal With Ice Tea
Ask any non-American to explain the concept of iced tea and they probably can't. Just like cups of tea are a British institution, iced tea is very much an American one. Indeed, many Europeans see tea the way people have seen tea for centuries: As something that's put together in a mug, with a tea bag, hot water and milk. Sometimes, sugar is stirred in. However, as Americans know, this is a pretty old way of seeing tea. These days, 85% of Americans prefer their tea iced. There are many iced tea brands that are doing super well, including Tazo and Honest.
Caffeine Helps Us Burn Fat
Need to burn more fat? Caffeine can help!
Can Caffeine Cure A Hangover
Let's face it, we all need God to help us when we're in the midst of a hangover. Some suggest that caffeine can help. But is it really a viable cure? Or is it just another false hope? Caffeine can trigger a headache, but most of the time it's actually good at relieving a headache. In fact, you'll find it listed in the ingredients for most migraine medications. Still, we've never known it to be marketed as a hangover cure – until now. Lots of youngsters are starting to turn to energy drinks after a night on the town in the hope that the caffeine will make them feel a bit less like death. Unfortunately, there is still no science to prove that caffeine can cure a hangover. Indeed, there is no science to prove that anything will cure a hangover.
Caffeine Boosts Athletic Ability By 3%
Need to go that extra distance on the track? You know what to do!
What Has More Caffeine? Energy Drinks or a Starbucks Coffee?
Energy drinks do contain a fair amount of caffeine, but it seems kinda weird that they get bad reputation so much, while Starbucks coffee seems to get off scot-free, despite Starbucks coffee containing more caffeine. True, energy drinks contain more caffeine than a cup of tea or a glass of coke. But a mug of Starbucks coffee is the main offender here. In fact, you'll struggle to order a Starbucks that contains less caffeine than an energy drink. A single shot of espresso might do it, but other than that, a can of Red Bull or Monster will always contain less caffeine.
Caffeine Is Bad For The Bones
How on earth can caffeine be bad for our bones?! It's because interferes with your body's absorption of calcium. Not cool, caffeine. Not cool.
This Is How Caffeine Works
Ever wanted to know how caffeine works? It's actually really simple. As the day goes along, adenosine is built up in your brain. Eventually, it reaches a threshold concentration, at which point the adenosine binds itself to specific receptors which send instructions to your body, telling you to go to sleep. Adenosine has the same shape as caffeine, which means that it binds the same receptors! As a result, it stops adenosine from doing its thing. As a result, the brains stimulants are able to work freely, ensuring you stay nice and alert.
Coffee Is Good For Your Health
Caffeine can be good for you when taken in moderation. As well as its caffeine content, coffee has other healthy benefits, such as antioxidants. Antioxidants provide your body with its first line of defence against rogue free radicals, preventing you from ageing too fast and reducing your risk of heart disease and cancer. That said, studies have shown that a number of coffee drinkers also smoke a lot, drink a fair amount – and eat red meat. If you do all three, the positive effects of coffee will be negated.
Stay happy!

CHAPTER 5: Humour in the Holocaust? (A case study on Roberto Benigni's film Life is Beautiful, Melampo Cinematografica, Italy 1997; a comparative case study on Laughter! [Auschwitz], Barnes, 1996).
In Chapter 4 - The Lord of Misrule we moved the focus of our study away from claims of comedy's subversive potential towards its possible connivance with suffering in events such as the Nazi Holocaust. In this chapter we will develop our earlier line of thought with reference to particular dramatic comic texts. Our main case study will be the recently released comic fantasy film Life is Beautiful (Melampo Cinematografica, Italy 1997) although we shall also make a comparative case study with Laughter! [Auschwitz] (Barnes,1996).
Life is Beautiful (1997) takes, as its subject matter, a Jewish father's attempt to protect his young son from the horrors of reality in a Nazi extermination camp. By turning the rules of their predicament into a game of fantasy, the young innocent is protected from the grotesque reality of genocide and the inversion of all normal rules of morality.
Although based on a lie (in which the hero and the audience share a complicity) there is still a sense that, if the comic rules are followed, the comic characters might be enabled to 'win the game'. They do not need to act in order to change their persecution (in reality, the rules of the Nazi extermination camps were such that their victims were literally and metaphysically stripped of all power to act); instead, they can change their perception of reality, changing the rules into a new language game, their game.
All this is reminiscent of Bahktin and his theories of carnival and heteroglossia (cf. Hirschop, 1989). Although the inversion of the rules is a fantasy it carries within it the possibility of change. Reality can be changed by a sheer act of will. Schopenhauer is (appropriately) invoked by the hero's friend at the beginning of the film as the thinker who held that one can change reality simply by the force of will.
The film balances precariously between comedy and tragedy. The comic hero, Guido, does not violate any rules of our society (although he violates Nazi rules of eugenics by simply being Jewish) and yet his death is tragic. Guido is comic in that he inverts and diminishes the rules of tragedy and yet there is no happy reconciliation for him at the end.
As the critic Colin MacCabe notes:
'Comedy is the genre that celebrates the social. Traditionally, comedies end with a marriage [Life is Beautiful starts with a marriage], confirming the power of society to reproduce itself. Tragedy is the domain of the individual, traditionally ending with the death of the hero [Life is Beautiful ends with the death of its hero] who can't conform to the demands of the community.' (MacCabe, 1999, p.46).
It is not our community that demands the hero's punishment for violating Nazi rules of eugenics and thus it is the rules which are wrong (rather than the hero's existential violation of them). Also, the rule is not reinstated at the end as, after the hero's death, the camp is liberated by the U.S. army and the hero's son sees his promised prize (a life-sized tank).
Life is Beautiful thus defies the conventions of both comedy and tragedy and possibly falls into an indistinct and interstitial category of tragicomedy.
How are we to define tragicomedy? Styan (1968) claims that the term is incoherent as it 'invites us to measure a play by two widely different yardsticks simultaneously, regardless of their possible irrelevance.' (Styan, 1968, p.vi). Bernard Dukore (cited in Dutton, 1986) appears to reconcile these different criteria of the tragic and the comic by shifting their simultaneity in a narrative shift from one to the other (from comedy to tragedy):
'The movement of a funny play to a point where it is no longer funny - where the comic nature of its characteristics ceases to be comic, where the audience stops laughing, where the nonfunny dominates - this movement constitutes the progress, conclusion and effect of... distinctive tragicomedies'. (Dukore cited in Dutton, 1986).
If we accept this British definition of tragicomedy then the narrative structure of Life is Beautiful follows this movement from comedy to tragedy and thus qualifies as a tragicomedy [albeit in a more sentimental manner than the ruthless British tradition with playwrights such as Beckett, Pinter and Stoppard].
Criticism of Life is Beautiful seems to fall into two general camps of thought. Positive criticism views the film as a redemptive comedy (cf. Curtis, 1999, p.24) which also makes the Holocaust the object of renewed attentiveness by defamiliarising it through the comic techniques of inversion and diminution. Tome Shone (1999) observes that:
'... Benigni's conceit joins an equally worthwhile tradition which has sought to turn the Holocaust on its head; when evil is at its blackest pitch, perhaps the only way to see it is in reversed negative.' (Shone, 1997, p.7).
Negative criticism of the film turns on two points: that comic diminution may also diminish the suffering of Holocaust victims (cf. Curtis, 1999, p.24) and that its popularity is symptomatic of a fatigue with more serious and realistic treatments such as Schindler's List. The American film critic David Denby (cited in Goodwin, 1999) observes that the whimsicality and the very popularity of Life is Beautiful suggests that audiences are exhausted by the subject and that the film is 'a form of Holocaust denial.' (Denby cited in Goodwin, 1999, p.26). (Universal, 1993).
The Simon Weisenthal Centre (a Jewish organisation dedicated to ensuring that the Holocaust is never forgotten) has given a cautious approval to the film (cited in Goodwin, 1999) on the grounds that it is an allegory which presents the Holocaust in a different dimension. However, the inevitable diminution of suffering involved in a comic treatment, even an allegorical one, can produce a different response in a victim from that of an audience. Goodwin (1999) cites the hurt response of one concentration camp survivor:
"To my mind, it is very hurtful. When people see comedy made of tragedy, they might think it wasn't so bad. I don't think people realise, you only had to look up or smile too much and they would have just executed you, or beat you to death." (cited in Goodwin, 1999, p.26).
Given our knowledge of the suffering of people who survived the Nazi extermination camps, there is an understandable conscience-stricken reluctance to challenge such personal viewpoints on the grounds of a film's artistic freedom and comic traditions, and yet our treatment obliges us to cite such justifications.
A strong defence of Life is Beautiful as an artistic and human response to suffering is put forward by Quentin Curtis (1999). He acknowledges that Life is Beautiful does not present the Holocaust accurately, 'presenting more of a holiday camp than a concentration camp' (Curtis, 1999, p.24). However, he refuses to accept that any film about the Holocaust is immoral unless it shows the destruction of human values in the death camps. He argues that the logical conclusion of such an argument would be that 'art is impossible after the Holocaust, an assertion that is both untrue and inhuman.' (Goodwin, 1999, p.24).
Goodwin's argument has much to commend it. If comedy is to have any redemptive power then surely it must be able to raise our spirits from such an abyss of despair? However, the real underlying objection to Life is Beautiful is not that it attempts to relieve our suffering but that it does so on the premise of a lie (and, in doing so, diminishes the suffering of others).
Hoberman (1999) observes that 'If Life is Beautiful is a fable, its moral must be that lying makes life bearable.' (Hoberman, 1999, p.22). He also observes that, while the film shows an attempt to protect the innocence of a child, it also tries to protect the innocence of the spectator by gently detouring around the real-life horrors of the camp. The question we now ask is should the spectator's innocence be protected? Other playwrights would argue not and so we now turn to the work of Peter Barnes (1996) for a comparative case study.
In Laughter! (1996) Barnes directly addresses the case of Auschwitz. His play is set in an office where German civil servants converse in bureaucratic banter relieved only by cynical jokes which help them bear, but not change, their lot. In fact, their bureaucratic jargon relates to specifications for the concrete chimneys at Auschwitz. Their terminology also enables the characters to obscure their complicity in genocide. By luring us into laughter, Barnes also implicates the audience in the bureaucrats' self-delusion until (ironically) a humourless and devoted Nazi forces the characters (and the audience) to confront the reality of Auschwitz in unflinching and unfunny terms. The play ends with two stand-up Jewish comedians telling jokes as they are gassed. Comedy has not revealed the truth and the truth is not funny.
In the Prologue to Laughter! A character named Author argues that:
'Comedy itself is the enemy. Laughter... cures nothing, except our consciences and so ends by making the nightmare worse. A sense of humour's no remedy for evil.' (Barnes, 1996, p.343).
Barnes (cited in Dukore, 1981) is dismissive of comedy's revolutionary potential, even that of satire. Although he recognises the analgesic quality of laughter he regards this as inimical to improvement, advocating anger and hatred as more effective emotions for the removal of the causes of suffering (rather than just their effects). As Barnes puts it:
'... laughter alleviates suffering and makes us bear our miserable lot with equanimity and a little more grace than we would if we didn't laugh. There is a strong argument that laughter, far from alleviating only increases the suffering, in the sense that if we laugh, then we don't change the miseries and the injustices.' (Barnes cited in Dukore, 1981, p.33).
From Barnes' (1996) perspective, Life is Beautiful (1997) would be inimical to righteous anger that the Holocaust was allowed to happen. Although some might consider that the gap of time since the Holocaust should broaden our perspective to allow more pacific emotions, it might behove us to again look eastwards to recent allegations of rape camps and ethnic massacres in Bosnia and Kosovo. Would Life is Beautiful work as a redemptive comedy if transposed there, and for what kind of audience with what sense of humour?

As we enter the new year of 2018, it is natural to look back and review what happened in 2017.
In fact, to a large extent, this has become bread and butter for the media.
On any news outlet you can find
- a 2017-year in review article or a top ten list, or
- multiple top ten lists.
And indeed
- it is incredible to think about how our world has changed over the past year,
- Its incredible to think about the all the tensions that have boiled this year,
- Its incredible to think of the increased danger we face from terrorism as
- Isis has continued to wage war against the West.
- The Syrian refugees.
- The US Israel relationship.
To look back over the year is truly difficult to deal with.
- To think about how the society has changed.
- To think about the gains and the threats..
While its true the course of the world is changing, and that as a nation we are in a very different place then we were
to a large extent the story isn't more about
- the individuals than the collective.
- The people and personalities more than the nations and societies.
For example,
- we can think about Syria as a country or we can think about Bashar al Assad.
- We can think about the Presidential race or
- we can think about Trump, Hillary and Bush. We can think about the US Israel relationship or we can think about Trump and Netanyahu.
The name of this weeks parsha is Shemos. Which means names.
And as a means of introducing the parsha and the book, the Torah riterates the names of the family of Yaakov.
Rueven Shimon, Levi etc.
The difference between the book of Bereishit and the Book of Shemot is
a transition from the Avot, the patriarchs to the Am, the nation.
In other words, the book of Berieshit, which deals primarily with Avrham Yitzchak and Yaakov is the story of the founding fathers of Judaism.
Its who they are what they believed what they stood for and how they made it their duty to form a nation.
The Book of Shmeos is very different.
This book is about the Nation of Israel. Its about the People who entered into a covenant with G-d through Torah as a People. It is about the nation, not the founding fathers.
This transition, which occurs in the opening moments of this weeks parsha, is made by recalling and numerating the Shemot, the names of the individuals who helped fashion this great nation.
And that out of these men with their diverse characteristic, varied strengths and qualities the Jewish people is born. And therefore the torah reminds us that while we are now about to learn about the nation of Israel, it is really at its heart about the people of Israel. That ultimately the story of the Jews is the sum total of the contributions of individual people.
There was a very prominent Rav by the name of RavNosson Tzvi Finkel, the great Builder of Torah in 20th century, a man who suffered with Parkinson's disease,
and nevertheless ran the largest Yeshiva in the world.
- He has almost 10,000 students,
- delivered weekly high-level Talmud lectures and
- traveled the world raising tens of millions of dollars to maintain and grow the institution.
But it was well known that this person, who carried this incredible burden on his shaky shoulders, would always make time for any person that wanted to spend time with him and learn with him.
And he not only took time of his busy schedule to learn with a student but even asked the student what time was good for him.
Hearing this, R'Yosef's 7 yr old son Eliyahu looked up to his father and announced that he wanted to learn with the Rosh Yeshiva too. Eliyahu had seen Rabbi Finkel in person once before and now wanted to learn with him.
R'Yosef felt that it wasn't proper to ask the Rosh Yeshiva to learn with a 7 year old but the little boy was insistent.
Finally R'Yosef told his son that if he would write a letter he would deliver it to Rav Nosson Tzvi.
The next morning ELiyahu, the 7 years old boy awoke early and scrawled a letter to Rav Nosson TZvi before going to school.
" Lichvod HaRosh Yeshuva,
Ani Rotzeh Lilmod Chumash Vayeira im HaRish Yeshuva Todah ELiyahu, ben Kimat 7
Talmud Torah Torat Chayim Yerushalyimm. "
R Yosef brought the letter to the Rosh Yeshiva who write back on the letter and a few weeks later they learned chumash together.
Litte LEiyahu came with his father to the Rosh Yeshiva with his papers form school and the Rosh Yeshiva sat next to him and listened to him review the pesukim and translation that he has leaned.
The following sukkos, Eliyahu once again had the chance to learn with Rab Nosson TZv.
On his way out the Rosh Yeshiva waived goodbye to ELiyahu.
Little ELiyahuu will always remember his special, even short lived relationship with Rabbi Finkel the Rosh Yeshiva of the largest yeshiva in the world who made time to learn with anyone and everyone together with all his kollel students.
What Rabbi Finkel realized was that the Jewish people is made up of individuals.
- That the next link in the chain starts right here and right now.
- That one day G-d willing little Eliyahu can also grow up t be a great person in the Jewish people, and that each person as an individual must be invested in.
The foundation of the Jewish people is the names of the individuals with different strengths. They are what forms the nation of Israel. This is a very empowering concept.
So many of us, when we look around at the State of the Jewish world, the national community. The local community, see things that can be improved or we would want different.
The lesson of our parsha is
- that we are only as strong as the indivduals who are striving to make those differences.
Because remember,
at the end of the day,
at the end of the year, when we llook back upon all what was done, where we have been and where we are going, and when we review the articles,
we must realize that as much as we are talking about society or a country or a nation we are talking about people,
people who are setting the trajectory of the year, individuals who are making history.
Best Regards
Jean-Pierre FETTMANN

I was photographing a place on Angus Drive (between Matthews and King Edward) this afternoon for the Vancouver Heritage Foundation, and in the couple of minutes between when I switched lenses and came back to my bike to hop on and shoot the next house, someone got off their (red, crappy, 1960-1980-era road) bike, hopped on my grey Trek 1000 road bike--with a pannier containing a lens, flash, a couple of miscellaneous cables, tripod, and head--and took off.
If you were this person and are reading this because you took a look at the business cards in my camera bag and are curious as to whose bike and gear you just ripped off, know this: the police are now looking for you. If you're feeling remorse and would like to make yourself whole, let me know and I'm willing to meet on neutral turf somewhere in Vancouver and take everything back, no questions asked. Use that big 'get in touch' button up there at the top of the browser window. (Getting your original bike back is left as an exercise for you and the cops, fellow, ahem, cyclist).
And for the rest of you, here's what to keep an eye out for, should it show up at your local bike shop or camera store:

Distinguishing marks:- grey aluminum with blue decal highlights- yellow 'Bait Bike' sticker, small '1008' number on top of top tube- Shimano Tiagra shifters and rear derailleur, Shimano 600 brakes (front + rear)- black rear rack- carbon fiber seatpost (with ergonomic seat) and carbon front fork- black full-coverage fenders on front and rear, rear fender rubber torn
Canon 24-105 f/4 IS L lens, s/n 4180400 - with hood but without front cap
Canon 580EX flash, s/n 149034, containing 4 Eneloop AA batteries (serial unrecorded)
Canon flash extension cord
Canon remote release switch
Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod (serial A1900290) with Sirui ballhead (no serial)
Blue Tamrac sling-style camera bag
Thankfully, I still have all the images and the camera…and I was on the tail end of the shoot, and I have backup gear for most of this so I'm not out of business. Could have been far worse.
The bike you're looking for:
…only with Shimano combo pedals and slightly different shifters.

The reason I use the rider 'for everyone' in the name of my practice is simple.
I firmly believe that no-one should ever be excluded from receiving help with – please excuse the term – "mental health" – issues because of their situation.
A single parent; a waged person on a low wage; an unemployed person; a retired person, or a student, all of whom will probably be on a restricted income, have the same right to expect help and support for whatever is bothering them, psychologically, as someone with a large, disposable income does.
For this reason I operate a sliding scale of fees: I will ask you to contribute what is manageable to you according to your circumstances …
My hourly rate for someone with the resources to manage my fee is £50 per hour; however, I seldom (almost never) charge this rate; whatever you pay includes travelling time, fuel and mileage, because I work – in the main- peripatetically (I will travel to you, as long as we have a guaranteed, quiet, undisturbed space to work in; no dogs, children or phones going off, please).
I am unable to offer a 'no-fee' scale. Sadly I have unavoidable on-costs of my own – some of which are:-
- Continuing Professional Development
- Professional Membership Fees
- Supervisor Fees
- Third Party Liability Insurance
- Information Technology
- Advertising
- Etcetera
and none of which I can avoid.
Why mention this now – so that you know that you and I can have a conversation about my fees that will not preclude you from getting the help you need.
There are no hidden costs in working with me, only gains, I believe.
For your benefit and for security, it is possible for you pay your fees by Paypal, just click on the link below.
Ring or email me and I will always discuss what I can do, and how I can help; we will sort something out, I promise.
Fees for Institutions
Will vary as they are dependent upon the work being done. Please ring me or email.

Officials were concerned the heavy branches of the trees could pose a threat to the gazeebo under construction near the restroom building, according to Rick Wonsey, vice president of the tree service company. "It's old and dangerous," he said of a willow he worked to remove. "A lot of people were worried it would fall on the dome of the gazebo." (Pioneer photo/Adam Gac)

It's important that you choose an experienced agent who is there for you. Your agent should be actively finding you potential homes, keeping you informed of the entire process, negotiating furiously on your behalf, and answering all of your questions with competence and speed.
First, find an agent who represents you and not the seller. This is beneficial during the negotiation process. If you are working with a buyer's agent, he or she is required not to tell the seller of your top choice. In addition, he or she is also focused on getting you the lowest asking price.
Also, when you use a buyer's agent, you will see more properties. Not only are they plugged into their Multiple Listing Service, but they are also actively finding homes that are listed as FSBO, or homes that sellers are thinking about listing.

This is a video by the European Southern Observatory that you'll not want want to miss. The ESO team discusses the result of the quest to find a planet around the closest star to the Solar System.
The Pale Red Dot campaign aimed to find a planet orbiting our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri. Incredibly, the quest succeeded and the team did indeed find a planet. Even more excitingly, the planet, Proxima b, falls within the habitable zone of its host star. The newly discovered Proxima b is by far the closest potential abode for alien life.
The ESO artist's concept of a view of the surface of the planet Proxima b, is shown above. The double star Alpha Centauri AB also appears in the image to the upper-right of Proxima itself. Proxima b is a little more massive than Earth.
The image below combines a view of the southern skies over the ESO 3.6-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile with images of the stars Proxima Centauri (lower-right) and the double star Alpha Centauri AB (lower-left) from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. (Credit: Y. Beletsky (LCO)/ESO/ESA/NASA/M. Zamani)
Amazingly, the planet's signal was hidden in the data for decades. Pale Red Dot noticed a weak signal reoccurring every 11.2 days. They used this potential find to secure support from the European Southern Observatory, and then they set out on an unprecedented confirmation campaign.
For months earlier this year, the astronomers kept a near-constant vigil on Proxima Centauri using ESO's 3.6-meter telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. Their radial velocity technique, which detects tiny wobbles as the planet pulls on its star, provided the stunning confirmation.
In this ESOcast, the results of this groundbreaking research are explained in detail, providing insights into the following points:
The extensive verification process the team went through to ensure this result was accurate.
The factors for and against the possibility of life on Proxima b.
The nature of a "habitable zone" around a star.
The discovery of Proxima b is a major science result, making this ESOcast a must for those of you curious about one of the most intriguing questions in astronomy — "are we alone?"

Teen loses finger at rave, keeps dancing 'because the bass was hard'/
There are just too may good quotes here:
"I was in so much pain and shock that the first thing that hit my head was the beat and the bass. The bass was hard, so I just ripped off my top, wrapped it around my finger and tied it up as tight as I could and skanked it out for half an hour."
"My mentality was, 'I've only been here for an hour, I've paid £10 for this night, I've lost my little finger - am I seriously going to go? Nah, I'm going to skank until I can't skank any more."


text: February 06, 2017 Ralph's Reviews: Super Bowl Advertisers Getting More Bang For Their Buck February 06, 2017/ Chad Carter The Super bowl has become one of the biggest spectacles in The United States and around the world. Advertisers know this, that is why they spend months and even years coming up with the most impactful ads they can to market their product to the best of their ability. Many question the madness, but I am going to try and make sense of it all.This past Super Bowl 51 cost advertisers for a 30 second commercial roughly $5 Million dollars, estimates could be even higher than that. If a company can make a lasting impression with the public, than the cost is well worth it. You have people that only watch the super bowl just for the commercials. There are those that couldn't care less about the game, the sport in general and we call these people the casual fan. For the die-hard football fans they will watch regardless. It's those casual fans that advertisers go for. The NFL and it's advertisers like to have as many people as they can viewing the super bowl.It used to be you would see a 30 second super bowl commercial just one time only. Nowadays, with the internet a super bowl ad can live practically forever online. Advertisers have caught on and more super bowl commercials are released online before they actually hit the small screen on super bowl Sunday. Some choose to release a small clip of their super bowl ads, and others even choose to release the full length commercial. While this may take away spontaneous reactions viewers get on super bowl Sunday, there is greater benefit to the advertisers that's why they are capitalizing online as well as on the small screen. For me personally, I choose to avoid viewing super bowl commercials early online, as I still enjoy getting that initial feeling of reacting to a funny, great, or even bad commercial during the big game.As much as the advertisers pay for air time during the big game, if they want to capitalize through the internet as get as much advertising time as they can who is to blame them. While I may think it is better to wait for the super bowl ads to come on during the game, for those that like to view them before the game more power to them. In the end it is a win-win in most cases for the marketers and advertisers.

With budget-friendly properties in New York, Portland, Seattle and Palm Springs, the Ace Hotels Group was called the most creative hotel operation in the country by the New York Times. The vibe in their hotels is residential and artsy, but they've never really targeted the corporate group market.
That changed last year when the Ace Group owners opened The NoMad Hotel in Manhattan's Garment District, offering 4,000 sf of gorgeous group space. The 168-room property earned slavish praise from travel/architecture mags globally for its design evoking the romance of classic grand hotels in Europe. For private events, the 2-level Library features a spiral staircase from the South of France; the Fireplace room has an original fireplace imported from the Loire Valley; the 24-foot Bar is a masterpiece in mahogany; and the Rooftop is a bar/restaurant operated by Chef Daniel Humm, who runs the 3 Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park nearby.
How much we love this hotel is probably unhealthy. While standing inside one of the rooms, we fawned heavily over the French mahogany writing desks, velvet and damask patterned paravents, and clawfoot tubs by the windows. Floors 2 & 3 have 15-foot ceilings; the higher floors have the best views.
We also popped over to the new 72-room Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, regarded as Brooklyn's first boutique hotel, located 15 minutes from Manhattan. Like the NoMad, Wythe was a 2012 darling of design mags, housed inside a former barrel "cooperage" constructed in 1901 near the waterfront. Guest rooms feature hard plank floors, beds constructed out of reclaimed ceiling timbers, and floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible views of Manhattan's skyline.
For F&B events, the fun Ides roof bar is inside a new glass extension crowning the post-industrial neighborhood. The main event space on the ground floor seats 200 with a private entrance, and there's a 60-seat screening room with full bar.
Local celeb restaurateur Andrew Tarlow—of Marlow & Sons, Diner and Roman's—operates Reynard in the Wythe. His menu highlights market-driven American fare prepared over a wood-fired grill, served inside a comfy dining room with original brick walls, cast iron columns, pine beams and tall arched windows. Try the grass-fed sirloin with grilled potato, bacon and bordelaise ($29). After that, walk across the street for drinks and bowling at Brooklyn Bowl.

Now, onto some morning links: — UW commits Colin Porter and Michael Hartvigson of Bothell are playing for Team USA in a game Saturday against a World Select Team. Here is info from the team's web site. The game will be televised live Saturday at 9 a.m. on the NFL Network. Here's a Miami Herald story with more details on the game. — Buster Sports has an interview with ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill, who says he thinks UW has a top 25 class but not a top 10 class, noting that some of the players may not enroll in August (the two who seem most at risk are Chris Young and Melvin Davis, but it has sounded like the others should all make it in). He also says he would rate UW's class fourth in the Pac-10 behind USC, Stanford and UCLA. — ScoutNFLNetwork.com has a note in this item that Donald Butler was seen talking with representatives of the Raiders yesterday at the Senior Bowl. — Defensive end Scott Crichton of Foss High in Tacoma has committed to Oregon State, according to this story — The Oregonian says recent developments are good for the Ducks, and also has lots of other links from around the conference. — UWTV will re-air its Husky Classic games on Sunday afternoons from 2-5. So this Sunday you can catch the 1991 UW-Cal game that it originally showed last Monday night. Next Monday's Husky Classic game is the 1992 visit by Nebraska. And the following Monday the game will be the 1993 home contest against Stanford. Monday night games are shown at 7 p.m. All for now. Comments

Congratulations to James Kampas, recipient of this year's Paul Ractliffe Scholarship Award.
James received his award at the close of Xtract Drama Academy's impressive production of A Christmas Carol where he excelled as Scrooge's nephew, Fred. Academy Director and drama teacher, Danielle Brame Whiting, tells me that when James joined XtrAct at the beginning of 2016, he brought with him an amazing energy and a big heart. "With a playful nature James naturally leaned towards the comic side of performance, and indeed has excellent timing. However, in 2017 he auditioned for the XtrAct Performance Group with a view to taking his acting more seriously and pursuing more serious roles. In addition to XtrAct, 2017 saw James take on the lead in the St Peter's Catholic College production of Little Shop of Horrors and near the end of that year he was cast as the young male lead in WMTCs Rock of Ages.
"2018 was a big year of growth for James both personal and in developing his craft. In addition to performing in Rock of Ages, James performed with the XPG class in Jopuka Productions' 'Short Cuts' short play festival, a pantomime at the XtrAct Juniors major concert, and featuring as Scrooge's nephew, Fred, whilst taking up multiple small roles, in the XPG major production, A Christmas Carol."
In addition to his performances, Danielle notes that James has volunteered to assist at the XtrAct juniors shows, gone out of his way to help and support his cast mates, and worked hard to develop his process as an actor. "All of this whilst completing his H.S.C!"
Here he is pictured receiving his award from Danielle after the performance at The Art House, Wyong, last Thursday:
Well done, James!

"Weighing in at 22 lbs, treats and food are clearly the way to my heart. I really like going outside and I would be a great indoor-outdoor kitty. I love to play and being outside gives me a lot to do.

Crime & Courts
Posted wedding plans cost Charlotte teacher his job
Charlotte Catholic High has cut ties with a longtime teacher after he used Facebook to announce plans to marry his male partner.
Lonnie Billard, 68, taught theater and English at the south Charlotte school from 2000 to 2012. After he retired, the lifelong Catholic remained on campus as a popular and frequently used substitute teacher.
Last fall, however, Billard announced his plans on Facebook to marry Rich Donham, his partner of 12 years.
On Dec. 30, Billard said he received a call from Charlotte Catholic Assistant Principal Steve Carpenter saying that he would no longer be called in to teach. The reason: His posted wedding plans publicly violated Catholic Church teachings on marriage.
Billard said Tuesday he remains stunned.
"This is sort of a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy," said Billard, who contends that his sexuality was well known by school officials, fellow teachers and many of his students and their families.
"My response is that if I am in defiance of Catholic teachings – and I probably am – then how do you account for employing teachers who use birth control? How do you account for teachers who divorce and remarry without the blessing of the church?
"It was fine when I was living with my partner. But I was wrong when I said we were getting married? The hypocrisy is ridiculous."
David Hains, a spokesman with the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte, said the Facebook posting violated the agreement Billard and all diocesan employees sign in which they promise not to publicly oppose church doctrine.
"You basically don't want the guy working for Coca-Cola to walk around with a Pepsi in his hand," Hains said.
The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a holy sacrament reserved for a man and a woman. The diocese has been outspoken on this front – contributing money and volunteers to help pass the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage in 2012.
Last year, the federal courts threw out the amendment as discriminatory. Gay marriages in North Carolina became legal in October. While the legal fight continues, Billard said he and Donham, like dozens of same-sex couples before them, plan to exchange vows in Charlotte on May 3.
In 2012, St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Charlotte fired Steav Bates-Congdon after the parish's longtime music director posted photos on Facebook of his New York wedding to his male partner.
Both decisions have drawn emotional debates from Catholics on both sides of the marriage issue. Billard says he has been overwhelmed by the support of his former colleagues and students.
The Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C., has also weighed in, condemning the decision "as evidence of the church's continued efforts to keep workers in the closet."
Said Billard: "I'm 68. Nobody is going to shove me back in that damn closet.
"I understand totally that the diocese is within its rights to do this, I know that," he added. ".. But this is not right. The pope just recently said that if you're gay and you're seeking Christ, 'Who am I to judge?' I guess this diocese has not gotten that message."
Since Pope Francis became head of the worldwide church, he has challenged its leaders and 1 billion members to set a more welcoming tone for gays.
Hains, a frequent spokesman for Bishop Peter Jugis, said the decision to stop using Billard as a substitute teacher – which he said was made by the school, not the diocese – in no way contradicts church teaching.
"Marriage is between one man and one woman, this goes back to Genesis," he said. "While the Holy Father has had some wonderfully pastoral things to say, he certainly has not changed church thinking on this subject." Researcher Maria David contributed.
(Editor's note: The online version of this story was updated on Jan. 14 to remove part of a quote after diocesan spokesman David Hains said his misspoke in describing policies requiring employees to follow church doctrine.)

We just HAD to make things harder
While strolling through a sporting goods store, Kelly spotted some Nike weighted wrist wraps, that we could use during our boxing workouts. We decided to not jump in the deep end with the 2.5lbs ones, and went with the 1lbs wraps.
Last nights workout was brutally hard and I can barely lift my arms today, and I know that everyone out there is laughing at me, but a 1lbs increase in your arm weight is actually a dramatic increase.
The human arm weighs roughly 5% of your body weight, meaning for me 1lbs on my arms constitutes an approximately 10% increase in total arm weight.
That is a huge number when you are doing a lot of work with your arms and doing a lot of boxing drills

To be a mother is to be a teacher. Now, that is not to say that just because someone is a mother she is automatically qualified to teach in a classroom, but often mothers are among the first people to teach children their earliest lessons like their first words and right and wrong. So in honor of mothers everywhere, we at OutlooK-12 are dedicated this month's School Library to children's books about mothers. We also want to wish you, our readers, a Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in your lives.
"Are You My Mother?"
by P.D. Eastman Publisher: Random House Books
In this classic story a mother bird is sitting on her nest, waiting for her egg to hatch. When it begins to move, she realizes that her new baby will need something to eat and flies away to find food. Unfortunately, while the mother bird is gone, the little baby bird hatches from his egg and decides to leave the nest to find his mother. Being a newborn, however, means everything about the world is brand new and so fifi guring out who his mother is is no simple task. Tiny but determined, the baby bird keeps asking anyone or anything he meets "Are you my mother?" in the hopes of finally finding her.

Here's What You May or May Not Have Missed This Week:
• A breakthrough study was published this week by two scientists from Johns Hopkins University that found that most cancer is beyond our control. The study results suggest that only a third of the variation in cancer risk is attributable to environmental factors or inherited predispositions. That leaves the remaining two-thirds as "bad luck," or random mutations during DNA replication in normal stem cells. Source
• The flu season has hit epidemic status, says the CDC, and the current flu rate is higher than the rates from any December in the past five years. Contributing factors include a particularly bad strain, a relatively low vaccination rate, and a mismatch between this year's flu vaccine and the virus. Source
• The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) published findings from a four year study of six state's HIE programs (Iowa, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming). All states reported IT-related challenges, from EHR and HIE developer limitations to lack of interoperability between systems and data capture and quality issues. Source

Well through necessity, I am back to revisiting the fast playing in practice and rehearsals. I know I have reached my limit in playing fast 16ths, so I thought I'd try something different to see if I could move on. I placed a paper towel roll using elastic bands onto an inexpensive beginner violin I have held onto, grabbed an old inexpensive carbon fiber bow, and by removing the sound of the intonation errors which stop me in my tracks, I worked on left hand/right hand coordination.
Very interesting results when things are sped up! First, I found that I had a mirroring problem. Whenever I would cross over the to the E string, the bow arm would 'reach and crash into the side of the roll. This would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact that this has obviously been going on and taking time away in the string crossing and affecting the coordination with the left hand. And there are other fascinating things going on as well!
The silence is just a way to further break down the pieces to get this hand coordination going. Remember, I have started slowly and worked for months, following every conceivable tip, and have reached my limit as a player at this time. But I need to play these areas the best I can starting in 3 weeks, so I thought I'd try this for fun. Who knows!

Now the light comes on. Beth had made something similar a while back, only instead of the paper tube attached unto the violin it was another tube at 90 degrees. Thanks Dianne.
Posted: November 4, 2018
You can also just attach it beneath the strings, but I opted to do it this way.
Posted: November 4, 2018
I used 3 elastic bandsHope this helps

Hi Dianne,
Are you able to post a photograph of how the paper towel roll is 'attached' to the violin?
Posted: November 4, 2018
Right after I posted, I said to a family member, I know what someone is going to say. "If I can't hear what I'm doing, then how do I know that I am playing in sync with both hands?" Ha! I am able to feel the out of sync quite clearly. I feel the pulse, or the beat, in both hands, whether seperate notes or slurs, and it is quite amazing how out of sync my hands feel without sound. I thought it felt better with sound even.
With the removal of the "sound", so many things become more obvious to me. Today, I am back to just left hand only, because during this exercise, I discovered something I had not noticed before- I have a doubled jointed 4th finger when it is asked to play at tempo on 16ths. I had this exact same problem years ago when I was learning how to play fast 8th notes. Back then, I taped the finger for playing for a period of time, and the finger strengthened and the problem went away. So I did the same today. Taping up the finger has already made a difference in a feeling of control. I also had to keep moving the left hand higher, as it wanted to lower constantly out of habit. I have the metronome low and working from 40 up to 60bpm/quarter for the 16ths and stopped. With the higher hand and taped 4th finger, my goal is to spend the time slices during the week for this to get it to the required 88bpm tempo (or higher for some pieces). Then to put it back with the two hands with no sound and see how it feels. Once it feels in sync, then play it normally. One nice thing about left hand only is I can hear the "ping" of the notes pretty well for intonation atleast.
So the removal of sound is just thinking outside of the box- a way for me to discover just what is going on in both hands without having to put it all together yet with sound, and it is really helping me. For someone else, this might not work, as you might be wanting to hear the sound. But for me, I am discovering progress where I thought there was none. Wish me luck!

Hmm, Dianne, now I am a bit confused. How do you work on improving the coordination between the two hands if you silence one hand? If the bow is silenced then you won't hear those slight extra sounds that come with uncoordinated left and right hands. My fingers can go very fast. I can type very fast. Then I should also be able to move them as fast on the fingerboard. And I sure can - but it sounds absolutely horrible because the right hand has a different rhythm and speed, even though I feel them as being in sync. If I would silence the bow, I would believe this perception, whereas my ears give a very different reality check.
For me, most often it definitely is the slight hesitations that throw the two hands off. Working with the bow line helps a lot in this. And Barbara's suggestion of memorizing does make sense to me. Well, sure enough you have to play something many times to memorize it. But it would also mean that the extra mental step of translating a visual cue into motor action would no longer be there. I have to try that out. Although memorizing faster passages are even harder for me than nice slow, melodic sections...

Silent Bowing
Hi and thank you both.
I am not near the violin right now, but this video shows what I am doing. It's basically the silent bowing technique, but in this case I used an empty paper towel roll placed onto the top of the strings, and fastened around the bout of the violin instead of the small cylinder around the string that this woman is using. I think you've seen these devices as used for straight bowing (there is one in video 21 here on VLab). I am using it instead for silent bowing while working on left hand/right hand coordination.
If this works for me, I will let you know. I am waiting for a breakthrough of some kind on the coordination, because both the left hand and the right hand seem fast enough in isolation (the right much faster than the left though), but when put together, I can't get them in sync, even using all the practice tips. I think my ear is always listening to intonation and cringing. Plus I have a problem with crooked bows when crossing over to the E string when fingering notes at the same time. And the list goes on!
Barbara Habel

Dear Dianne
Dito to what Elke said.
And I have recently started to learn pieces by heart. The Pachelbel Canon has 16th and 32nd notes. When I was then playing again with the sheetmusic - I could play those fast areas much faster - than what I can when playing by heart. But it is obious that the learning by heart has improved my speed.
Are you playing by heart or with sheetmusic?
And are you counting the notes in your head? My teacher has suggested to me instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 for the sautille in the Elves Dance by Jenkinson - she has me say in my head:
Tscha - ka - ta - ka Ti - ka - ta - ka
You can say this much faster than you would be with counting.
God bless and happy practicing.
Elke Meier
Posted: November 4, 2018
Can you show us what you are taking about, Dianne? I would be very interested in seeing it (as you know I also struggle with left/right hand coordination and getting faster), but can't follow your explanations... :(

Inside the Park Museum
The private museum within the Deer Park contains a collection of antlers and mounted heads from Warnham Red deer since 1890. Most interesting are the historic British antler records for length (47½ inches / 121 cm in 1914) and numbers of points (47 in 1892). A recent addition comprises the lifetime mounted antlers of a 42 point stag which died in 1921. There are also photographs of a 1941 stag with 46 points, shortly before he was found shot (presumably for target practice by troops temporarily billeted at Warnham Court) and his head was subsequently stolen.
The most recent head is the skull and antlers of Poseidon shot in the park in 2011 with 50 points, being the first stag in the UK to break the 1892 record.
A range of other exhibits include a Victorian collection of taxidermy (mainly British birds), photographs and the 1897 Shand Mason steam pump Fire Engine.
There is also the Antler House at Bailing Hill Farm displaying the antlers of past and current farm sires, together with all cast antlers of current park stags.
Viewing is strictly limited at the owner's discretion to clients considering a purchase of livestock, when convenient and by prior appointment.

- There is little point making money resolutions without a budget. If you go to www.moneysmart.gov.au they have some great tips on setting up your budget. They also have a great free app called "Track my Spend" which will help you keep a track of your spending.
- Paying off credit cards and any high interest debt should be your first priority. Maybe consider consolidating debts into one or look at transferring credit cards to a no interest or low interest balance transfer card.
- Build a buffer for the unexpected – a lot of financial experts say we should aim to have 3 months' worth of savings in case of emergencies so start a savings account for emergencies.
- Now is a good time to open an account to save for Christmas so you don't end up with a big credit card bill next January. Even if you put away $25 for the next 50 weeks you will have saved $1250.
When you set yourself a goal it's important to have a plan so you can make your dream a reality. After all a goal without a plan is just a wish.

Making money?
The old saying, "it takes money to make money" is probably one of the greatest truths to building a fortune. You will also hear quotes like "My first million was the hardest." But these quotes are useless when it comes to actually building your net worth. The reality is, most of us have to fend for ourselves and figure out the whole money thing.
What I can tell you from a long time in the financial industry is that there are some key concepts to hold tightly to.
The first: get in the habit of regularly saving money. There are a huge number of benefits that come from this. The obvious one is that you start accumulating savings. The habit of saving does something very powerful beyond the obvious of saving money. It proves to you that you can do with less. So no longer do you need the same level of income to meet your needs. Psychologically this is huge, every dollar less you need to live takes you closer to your absolute freedom.
As you learn you can do with less, it can motivate you to keep looking at all aspects of your life for ways to do more with less, or at least ensure you are always getting the best bang for your buck. The reality is these actions will enrich you immediately and into the future. This is predicated, of course, on the notion that you want some form of financial success.
It takes money to make money? If you have savings, it gives you a unique opportunity. Opportunity for one person could be misfortune for another. This may sound ugly and evil, but the reality is that many people get themselves into financial trouble because they haven't figured out how to do more with less and protect themselves. They are forced to sell what they may not have been able to afford in the first place. We see this going on all the time in the stock markets.
The Savvy Investor
The savvy investor will wait patiently through times of uncertainty when panic grips the markets. Investors sell aggressively driving prices down, taking losses at time like these, just to ease the pain they are feeling. The savvy investor is then given the opportunity to step into the very market many are fleeing. Buying at bargain prices gives much larger gain potential when the recovery comes. The only way an investor could have this opportunity is if they were savers and had money to invest. If you recognize the opportunity and don't have savings, you just get to watch the profits rather than participate in them. It definitely takes money to make money.
Giving yourself the gift of doing more with less is something only you can do for yourself. It is in my opinion one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. No one can take that away from you. Used appropriately, it will help you create opportunities few can experience.

Gigya's integration with Livefyre makes it easy to implement Gigya's Customer Identity Management platform with your existing Livefyre implementation.
Solution Overview
The integration is based on the Livefyre Developer Documentation and closely follows the process outlined in the Identity Integration Section. We recommend that you reference both this guide as well as the Livefyre Developer Documentation when integrating Gigya and Livefyre on your website.
The integration includes both client-side and server-side components:
- On the client side, Livefyre's Comments app is loaded on the page.
- When users authenticate with Gigya, triggered from either the Comments app or an outside source on the page, the integration makes a server-side call (in server/ajax/token-endpoint.php) to the Livefyre network to authorize the Gigya user with Livefyre, and provide that user with an access token, which is used to interface with the Livefyre commenting plugin.
- Once the user is authenticated with both Gigya and Livefyre, he or she may comment on the page using their Gigya user profile.
- The logged-in state of the user on the page is kept in sync between both Gigya and Livefyre, such that when a user logs in or out via Gigya or Livefyre, both services recognize the updated state of the user.
The most salient point of the solution (in server/ajax/token-endpoint.php:16-40) is the presence of functions to conform the Gigya UID into Livefyre-compliant URL-safe Base 64 user IDs and vice versa. This solution is language-agnostic as it deals with string translations to use only a subset of the Base 64 Gigya UIDs. The solution replaces the Livefyre-unsafe characters '+' and '/' with '-' and '_', respectively, and removes the Base 64 '=' padding characters. The function urlsafe_base64_to_base64 reverses these translations.
Running A Demo
In the downloadable demo we use a Registration-as-a-Service screenset for the authentication, but traditional social login would work the same way. Users can login from either the Login link at the top of the page or via the Livefyre plugin. The links within the Livefyre plugin are also integrated with the Gigya authentication platform. The "Edit Profile" link in the Livefyre plugin will trigger Gigya's Registration-as-a-Service Profile screen, and the "Sign Out" link will sign the user out of both Livefyre and Gigya.
The Demo code is available for download (see below).
Implementation Instructions
The source code for the demo is available at https://github.com/Livefyre/livefyre-gigya-example.
To try out the demo on your own site, download the code and edit the file config/config.php to insert your site domain and your Gigya and Livefyre API configurations:
define('SITE_DOMAIN', '<INSERT-YOUR-WEBSITE-DOMAIN-HERE>'); define('SESSION_EXPIRATION', 2592000); // 30 days define('GIGYA_API_KEY', '<INSERT-YOUR-GIGYA-API-KEY-HERE>'); define('GIGYA_SECRET', '<INSERT-YOUR-GIGYA-SECRET-KEY-HERE>'); define('LIVEFYRE_NETWORK', '<INSERT-YOUR-LIVEFYRE-NETWORK-HERE>'); define('LIVEFYRE_NETWORK_KEY', '<INSERT-YOUR-LIVEFYRE-NETWORK-KEY-HERE>'); define('LIVEFYRE_SITE_ID', '<INSERT-YOUR-LIVEFYRE-SITE-ID-HERE>'); define('LIVEFYRE_SITE_KEY', '<INSERT-YOUR-LIVEFYRE-SITE-KEY-HERE>');
Now you can upload the demo to your site.
- The demo source code includes Livefyre's PHP library in the livefyre/server/lib/livefyre-php-utils folder and the PHP-JWT library in the livefyre/server/lib/php-jwt folder.
- The demo source code is configured with Gigya's Customer Identity product. If RaaS is not enabled on the API key you have set in config.php, you will need to modify the example to use your own social user registration and profile screens.
Demo Files
The integration demo includes the following files:
- index.php - Used to display Livefyre Comments app and Gigya authentication
- config/config.php - Configuration file to store your Gigya and Livefyre API credentials
- server/lib/gigya/GSSDK.php - Gigya's PHP SDK
- server/lib/livefyre-php-utils/ - Livefyre's PHP library files. The library is available in various other languages from Livefyre.
- server/ajax/token-endpoint.php - Used to validate the Gigya login and trigger the Livefyre login
- client/js/init.js - Main JavaScript file used to handle Gigya and Livefyre client-side authentication
- client/js/jquery.*.js - jQuery libraries used for simplicity
