With the help of this reliable and hidden electronic fencing system, your pet will quickly learn to not leave the territory you have selected. The length of the collar is adjustable (from 20cm).
Principle of work
A wire hidden in the ground transmits a harmless radio signal when the dog approaches the border. In this case, the collar makes a warning sound (squeaks). If your dog continues to move closer to the boundary, the system will have an electrical impact that will cause the pet to quickly return.
Main functions
- Proportional impulse affect – the closer your dog approaches the boundary, the stronger the electrical effect will be
- Field width adjustment – allows you to precisely adjust the width of the signal field
- Sound and visual indicators of wire breakage. So, if a wire buried in the ground breaks, a loud alarm sound will sound and the corresponding indicator will light up.
- Determining the speed using the Anti-Run function – the faster your dog moves, the higher the level of impact intensity is given
- Integrated lightning protection that protects the transmitter from power surges caused by lightning strikes
- Multi-operational transmitter, which means that there is no limit on the number of collars that this system can control
Precautions or what to consider with this protection:
We know that there are a lot of Wifi Dog Fence models. But if we are talking about precautionary measures, then it should be borne in mind that the electronic fence, as well as just a collar with electrodes, requires precautions. And the seller of this invention does not bear responsibility for harm to your pet. Therefore, carefully study the precautionary measures before buying such an invention.
- Keep in mind that dogs have an individual temperament and there is no way to 100% know how your dog will react to this device.
- If in your opinion, the dog may be aggressive and/or it has had precedents of aggressive behavior, before using this product, you should consult with a certified animal behavior specialist.
- The electronic collar is intended only for use with dogs.
- Low battery charge may cause unstable operation of the device. Do not use the device if you assume that the battery is low.
- Let your dog get used to the collar before you begin training. It is important that the animal perceives the collar as a normal object, and not as a controlling device.
- Do not leave the collar on a dog for more than 12 hours a day.
- Never perform a set procedure when the dog is wearing a collar.
- The electronic collar should only be used under the close supervision of the dog owner.
Actually, if you do everything right, then you can not be afraid for the health of your dog. As well as not being afraid that he will be in trouble.

Coach Pizzo's Report - October 8
Interconference regattas continued this past weekend with a team of Polar Bears competing at The US Naval Academy in the Truxton Umsted Coed Showcase Round 1. Annapolis proved predictable with light to moderate wind and a lumpy sea state. With the goal of qualifying for Coed Showcase Finals, each division aimed to help the team finish top nine overall. Christian Filter and Julia Adams improved throughout the regatta to secure 7th in A division while Matt Safford and Marie Bergsund held steady to finish 8th in B division. Emily Gonzalez, Per Black and Chris Lukens were ready on the sidelines. Boat speed proved challenging without the wind to combat the chop but conservative sailing qualified the team for The Fiske Harriman Sleigh at Connecticut College.
Meanwhile, back in New England, light winds made for reduced racing at The George Warren Smith Trophy hosted by MIT. Teagan Cunningham, Meghan Gonzalez, Kelsey Slack, and Gigi Diserio competed in A division while Hattie Slayton, Kevin Elk, John Seider, and Elijah Berger split B division. This regatta is reminiscent of college sailing when Tech Dinghies were synonymous with Sailing at MIT and on the Charles River.
This coming weekend, the team will compete at St Mary's College of Maryland for Showcase B Finals and Match Race New England Championship will take place in Newport, RI.

Third seed Caroline Wozniacki earned an incredible one-sided victory over former world number five Eugenie Bouchard in a blockbuster first-round match at the Hong Kong Tennis Open as she triumphed in 58 minutes with an emphatic 6-1, 6-1 scoreline, looking ruthless throughout the match as she solidified her status as a contender for the title here in Hong Kong.
Tight start to the match
Wozniacki made the perfect start to the match as she was surprisingly dominating play against the aggressive Bouchard, sealing the opening game with a big forehand winner. Some early jitters saw the former world number five throw in a couple of unforced errors, and she soon found herself lagging behind 0-40 in her first service game. Nonetheless, Bouchard quickly regained her composure and came up with some impressive aggressive play to rattle off five consecutive points and got herself onto the scoreboard.
Wozniacki strolls to claim the first set
Following a love service hold for the Dane, Bouchard once again faced break points in her service game and this time, she looked to have came back from the brink to level the scores once again. However, Wozniacki was determined to get the break, and she was eventually third-time lucky in that game as she finally converted her first break point from six opportunities in the first 15 minutes of the match.
The former world number one was simply clinical on her groundstrokes, playing well with controlled aggression and she excelled with confidence in her play. Within a blink of an eye, Wozniacki eventually strolled to clinch the first set 6-1 after just a mere 30 minutes of play, controlling play from the start to finish.
Bouchard fails to get going
An on-court coaching session did not seem to help as Bouchard was still unable to regain the momentum in her game, continuously throwing in unforced errors as Wozniacki took the break in the opening game of the second set, jumping out to an early lead after Bouchard hit an unfortunate double fault on break point. Wozniacki continued to be untroubled on her serve, easily consolidating the break for a 2-0 lead.
Wozniacki takes the win in straight sets
Rattling off 20 of the first 25 points of the second set, the Dane powered herself to a formidable 5-0 lead which saw her edge closer than ever to the huge victory. Attempting to serve out the match at 6-1, 5-0, Bouchard stepped up her game and managed to spare some embarrassment for herself as she retrieved one of the breaks back, lessening the deficit.
Her inspired play allowed her fans to have a glimpse of hope, but she was unable to hold onto her serve as Wozniacki was just too good for the Canadian during the night, sealing the emphatic victory after just 58 minutes of play. The Dane put in a clinical serving display today, losing just a total of 12 points on her serve throughout the match and only conceding one break point opportunity. Furthermore, Bouchard only managed to claim 16 points behind her serve in the encounter.

Each autumn, farmer Amandeep Singh has just a few days to prepare his fields for the next crop. He must clear stubble left over from the rice harvest, before planting wheat, which grows over winter.
Amandeep, 42, is from a long line of farmers in India's breadbasket, in the northern state of Punjab. Like his father and grandfather before him, he'd always burned the residue known as rice straw – the dry stalks of the plant after the grain and chaff have been removed. It's the fastest, cheapest way to prepare his fields for the next planting.
But when farmers in Punjab set fire to leftover rice straw, smoke wafts across northern India – poisoning the air 200 miles away in Indian capital, New Delhi, and beyond. It's even visible in NASA photos taken from space. The Indian government estimates that more than 103 million acres of land in Punjab are under cultivation – about 83 percent of the total land area.
Amandeep grew up breathing that smoke. "It smells horrible," he says. "And it hurts our other crops, because there isn't proper sunlight for them, when the sky clouds over with smoke."
On some days, the air quality in New Delhi is 20 times worse than what the World Health Organization deems safe. Of the ten most polluted cities in the world, according to the WHO, nine of them are in northern India.
With a growing outcry over pollution, politicians, environmentalists and farmers themselves are examining ways to cut back on crop-burning. Local governments have banned it. Engineers are developing new machines to mulch rice stubble instead. And inventors are probing ways to make paper pulp and biofuel from what used to be a waste product.
This year, Amandeep, who recently became a father, decided he'd had enough. So he broke with tradition, and bought a machine to mulch his rice straw instead. He says about half of the farmers in his village have done the same.
The state government of Punjab banned all crop-burning five years ago, but the order was rarely enforced. Now, amid outrage over pollution in New Delhi, Punjabi officials are under pressure to enforce the law – though some dispute how much of the problem is from their crop burning rather than from traffic or industry in urban areas.
Starting this year, farmers who want to buy mulching machines can get help from the state government. Under a new subsidy program, Punjab will reimburse individual farmers for half the cost of the new equipment. If eight farmers go in on a machine together, the state government will pay 80-percent of the cost. The cheapest ones go for the equivalent of about $1,750.
The machines include something called a Happy Seeder, which attaches to the back of a tractor and mulches rice straw. There are other models that fit on larger combine harvesters.
But farmers need to have a tractor to begin with, and they must learn how to operate the new attachments and buy diesel to run them. Not everyone can afford it.
"A tractor will consume more fuel [with an added attachment]. Labor is also required, even if the initial cost is mostly covered by a government subsidy," says Manjeet Singh, an agricultural engineer who heads the machinery department at Punjab Agricultural University and is not related to Amandeep Singh. "Farmers are aware this pollution is not good. But when cost is involved, that is on their minds."
Manjeet sends his graduate students door to door to persuade farmers to mulch rather than burn. They explain the government subsidies and demonstrate how the mulching machines work. They also tell farmers about scientific research that shows mulching can actually boost their crop yields by grinding nutrients from the rice straw back into the soil.
It's still early, but Manjeet believes he's seeing some change. He estimates that up to 70 percent of farmers in the area around the city of Ludhiana, where he is based, burned their rice stubble last year. This year, he estimates it's dropped to around 40 percent. He's working to collect figures for all of Punjab by the end of the crop-burning season, in early 2019.
Despite such efforts, India's air pollution is only getting worse.
At an outdoor laboratory at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi – the local equivalent of Stanford University or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – some of India's best and brightest are working on this problem. They've come up with another alternative to crop-burning: Rake up the rice straw and sell it, to make paper pulp, fabrics and biofuel.
"The farmers, they're incentivized by the profit. They don't have to worry about their straw lying there anymore," says inventor Pracheer Dutta, 24, co-founder of a start-up company called Kriya Labs. "Somebody will come and take it from them, and pay them for it. That's all they want."
Dutta is currently experimenting on a more than 1,300-pound batch of rice straw collected from farmers in the Indian state of Haryana, which borders Punjab and the capital New Delhi. First he chops up the straw into roughly half-inch pieces and rinses them in a repurposed clothes washing machine, to get rid of dirt and dust. Then he puts the straw in another machine that heats it.
"It's basically a big pressure cooker," Dutta says. The straw gets mixed with a solvent, heats up and breaks down into fibers, he explains.
Dutta is marketing those fibers to tableware manufacturers. He's signed deals with local factories, and plans to debut paper plates made from rice straw next spring. It's cheaper than making paper pulp from wood, he says.
Back up north in Punjab, not everyone is convinced.
Another local farmer, Kuldeep Singh, has begrudgingly stopped burning his rice straw. But he doesn't think it's the best thing for his crops.
"The local government banned crop-burning here. That's why I stopped. I don't want to pay a fine. Otherwise I would have kept doing it," says 55-year-old Kuldeep, who is not related to Manjeet Singh or Amandeep Singh. "Burning sterilizes the soil. It kills pests."
Kuldeep argues with environmental campaigners who visit his farm and rattle off data on how mulching is better, because it leaves nutrients in the soil. He tells them how last year, rats infested his rice paddy, just after the harvest. The only way to get rid of them was to burn the straw, he says. The campaigners, however, note that "sterilizing" the soil needlessly kills microorganisms that can actually be beneficial to agriculture.
He's also worried about fungus. If he leaves the straw on the same ground where he's planting wheat seeds and watering them, he's worried the straw may grow moldy and hurt his winter wheat yield.
Visiting campaigners try to reassure him, that fungus will not grow on his straw and that more nutrients will remain in his soil. His yields will be better, they say.
But Kuldeep is adamant. He doesn't like academics coming and telling him what's best for his land. He wants to farm the way his ancestors always have.
"There are a few farmers who have a traditional way of thinking, and it becomes very difficult to change their mindset. It takes a long time,," says Subhash Chandra Sharma, an engineer who works for Krishi Vigyan Kendra, a community outreach arm of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. "But this, I can say, this is the beginning of a noble cause."
NPR producer Furkan Latif Khan contributed to this report.
Northern India has some of the worst air quality in the world. This month, pollution in the capital, New Delhi, hit 20 times what the World Health Organization considers safe. Make a list of the world's 10 most polluted cities and nine of them will be in India. It's partly from car exhaust and from industry, and it's partly from the burning of crop residue hundreds of miles away, which NPR's Lauren Frayer went to see.
LAUREN FRAYER, BYLINE: This is really dry straw. It's what's left over from the rice harvest. And the fastest way to get rid of it is for the farmer to literally set it on fire. It's really hot, and it generates these huge clouds of smoke that are just blowing across the fields here. I've got to step back.
AMANDEEP SINGH: (Speaking Punjabi).
FRAYER: Amandeep Singh grew up breathing this smoke. He's from a long line of farmers here in India's breadbasket, Punjab, who've always burned their crops.
A. SINGH: (Through interpreter) It smells horrible, and it hurts our other crops because there isn't proper sunlight for them when the sky clouds over with the smoke.
FRAYER: So Amandeep broke with tradition this year. He bought a machine to mulch the rice rather than burning it. Amandeep says half of his farmer neighbors have done the same because of an outcry over pollution. But farmers dispute how much of it is from them rather than from traffic or industry.
MANJEET SINGH: Now farmers are too much aware that this is not good. This pollution is not good. But when cost is involved...
FRAYER: Manjeet Singh is a professor at Punjab Agricultural University. He sends grad students door to door to convince farmers to mulch rather than burn. It can be a tough sell, he says.
M. SINGH: They have to buy those machines, and then to operate those machines, the diesel is required or labor is required.
FRAYER: Starting this year, the government is reimbursing farmers for part of the cost of mulching machines. At an outdoor laboratory at IIT Delhi - the local equivalent of Stanford or MIT - some of India's best and brightest have come up with another alternative to crop burning.
PRACHEER DUTTA: So this is the rice straw that we've actually sourced. Six hundred KGs of that have been brought to us.
FRAYER: Inventor Pracheer Dutta convinced Punjabi farmers to rake up their rice straw and sell it to him rather than setting it on fire.
DUTTA: We put it through a machine. It's basically a big pressure cooker. And we just put in a solvent.
FRAYER: They end up with fibers that can be used to make paper plates, fabric or bio fuel.
KULDEEP SINGH: (Speaking Punjabi).
FRAYER: Back up north in Punjab, another farmer, Kuldeep Singh, has begrudgingly stopped burning his rice straw.
K. SINGH: (Through interpreter) The local government banned crop burning here. That's why I stopped. I don't want to pay a fine. Otherwise, I would have kept doing it. Burning sterilizes the soil. It kills pests.
FRAYER: He argues with environmental campaigners who tell him mulching is better. It leaves nutrients in the soil. Campaigner Subhash Chandra Sharma says farmers don't like academics coming here and telling them what's best for their land.
SUBHASH CHANDRA SHARMA: There are few farmers. They are having a traditional thinking, and it becomes very difficult to change their mindset. It takes a long time, but this - I can say this is the beginning of a noble cause.
FRAYER: A noble cause, he says, to clear the smog that's choking people in India's capital hundreds of miles away. Lauren Frayer, NPR News, in rural Punjab, India.

Treadmill Black Friday sale will start on the 27th of November and it will end on the 3rd of December.
If you've been waiting for the best time to buy a new treadmill for your home gym, you'll find some of the top deals available on exercise machines on Black Friday. This is the biggest shopping day of the year and is a great time to save some money on the purchase of large electrical equipment which is often on sale at a significantly reduced price. Treadmill Black Friday deals can be found on some of the top brands such as Sole, Nordictrack, Proform and more, so it's worth checking out the prices around this time.
This year it falls on 29th November (right after Thanksgiving day), and we'll be updating this page regularly on the run up to this date, during Cyber Week and beyond! So bookmark us now and come back in November to see our list of the best Black Friday 2019 treadmill deals available.
Buyer Guide – tips on where to start
Some things to take into consideration when buying a treadmill:
- Who is it for? Are you buying the machine for yourself? Or maybe you're buying for someone else (a treadmill would make a fantastic Christmas gift!) Is it for an individual, or will the whole family be using it?
- Users needs: Will it specifically be for weight loss, or just to get fit and lead a more active, healthy life? Is it just for walking (some treadmills are designed specifically for walkers), a beginner running program, or is it for a seasoned runner who will want higher speeds and an incline?
- Required features: Does it need to be a folding treadmill for easy storage? What kind of console and tech do you want included? Bluetooth connection? Speakers? What size running area do you want? If your home gym space is limited you may need to take the overall dimensions into consideration. Will you want an automatic incline with a good range (cheaper models usually only have a limited manual incline). Speeds and weight capacity may also be a factor in your purchase.
- Quality and durability: Although there are plenty cheaper models on the market, you'll probably want one that's built to last. A treadmill is a good investment but it's worth paying a bit more to get one that won't cause you problems after just 6 months of use! We like to browse Amazon.com to read customer reviews and experiences before buying an expensive item like this. The good thing about buying a black Friday treadmill is that you should be able to get a higher quality model at a reduced price at this time of year!

– Oh my god I'm on Misako's channel! (screams) – We've both been on our health and fitness grinds for a while now – For a while, it's been enough time to say that I could actually… I'm like kind of fit. – But sometimes you get so caught up in wanting progress and you
see yourself in the mirror and you're like oh, I did that. – I did that!
– Yes! – Okay yeah, we've been on this journey. – Oh yeah, we've been on a journey
– it's been a journey – Alright we've been eating
our bean based pastas, yes we have, our broccoli yes we have! – So much gas, but it's
really good in the long run – Yes! – We hit the gym early, we've
been doing that recently. – I know.
– Yeah – It's really good to have a buddy so find yourself a little fitness buddy. – To hold you accountable, to get you up early, you got me up. – Yeah I mean you get me up! I'm not going to boxing tomorrow though. – Side note, shameless plug,
if you're looking for a good thick girl workout, head
to this ladies channel. – We okay, me and Misako
and our friends Sto, we did this workout, it's on my channel, I like wrote the workout
and then as I was doing it, I was like why the hell we doin' this?! But it worked! And people did the workout
and it did really well, like it was a great workout,
it's free on the channel, so get a little sweat on, curtesy of a slim thick workout plan on my channel. – Let's be real okay,
there's no magic pill, there's no secret diet,
there's no magic meal, it's all about what? (laughs) – What is it about? Everything were about to talk about now. I think it's about consistency, the number one word is consistency. – It's about making life style changes, I mean when I say diet I'm
referring to the way that I eat. – There's no diet like in quotations. – Yeah it's about just
making healthy choices everyday, big or small that will set you on the right track. – Yeah. – So we gon' start from the
beginning here, alright, I wanna know when and why
did you start, you know this little fitness health
journey that you're on. – So I've always been a work-a-holic, and for me working is like… I always liked building something from scratch,
– yeah. – So to me that was like oh
I'm gonna be a boss bitch! Like I'm gonna run the
world and then I basically did that in my social
life, in my career life, but I had never done
it in my fitness life, because a lot of times I
was living in New York, I think where you live is a huge piece of like your, I guess your
relationship with fitness and one day I woke up and I was just like, it was two and a half years ago, I woke up and I was like
I am tired of saying that I could have a better body, – Yes girl. – The same amount of
motivation that I've used in my personal life to
keep up good friendships and in my work life to make
my work crazy successful, I'm gonna apply that to my fitness, like shut up and go to the gym, and like so then I did! – She shut up and went! – Yeah but then I think
there were some tricks I did to myself, one I made it
not just about working out, but I made it about
health, so I was like okay if I'm investing five
to six days in the gym why am I eating garbage and
drinking gallons of alcohol? – Yes. – It's gonna be a full circle, like makeover in my lifestyle. – I grew up in a household where diets and like the latest fads
my mom was always on, you know, like the Lindora's
the weight watchers, Jenny Craig, like anything
she could get her hands on, so I was always really
hyper aware of like, weight loss and what I
was putting into my body, but I wasn't knowledgeable
about it, and then– – But that's interesting 'cause like if you're growing up around that you already kind of
know that it's a thing. – Yeah. – Because I didn't, like in my fridge, it was like Kraft Singles,
salami in wrappers, like it was not healthy. – Well I wouldn't say
those things are healthy, they're definitely, they're
just like shortcuts. – They are shortcuts. – It was just like, so
I was always just like, for better or worse my
mind always on weight loss, because it was always just
like a topic in the house, and then I went away to
college, my semester at USF and oh! (slow motion Oh!) Unlimited meal swipes to get into the– – Oh no… – Danger zone, why am I
going to the cafeteria six, seven times a day? – No I was like I really
did the freshman like 35. – No for real like at least freshamn 20. – It's tough because
the house you grow up in affects your knowledge about food and your relationship with food and a lot of times it
takes either having friends who are health conscious, or
leaving the home altogether, moving to a new city
and being around people who have a different culture in terms of like nutrition and fitness. – Exactly, it was moving
back to LA that like got me started on this journey and I was still learning a lot but it was like the roommate
that I lived with at the time was a pescatarian, the
other one was vegetarian, so I was just like slowly learning, just like by being in
a different household, like okay maybe I shouldn't
be eating all of this processed stuff, maybe
I should do a day or two without meat, like slowly but surely and then you become
genuinely interested in it – Yeah.
– and you want to do those things. – So how long ago did it start for you? Your health journey? – So I moved back to LA January 1st 2013 and I would say like and also, during that winter break I was like I don't feel like myself and disclaimer we're not saying that
being a certain weight or being a certain way– – Is ideal,
– Is bad, yeah. – Or not, like you are comfortable in your skin
– Truly. that's your thing, but I
think it's more so about like you feeling good in your own skin. – Yeah and I just didn't feel good, I didn't feel like myself, I didn't feel like I had a lot of energy like I was starting at a new school and I wanted to be like sharp. – Sharp is a great word. – And I didn't like have
like that many friends, so I had the time like,
if I wasn't at school, I have family and stuff here,
but if I wasn't at school I could focus, that was the
thing that I put my energy into. – Okay. – So I would say that was 2019 oh? Six years ago. – That's a long time! When'd you become vegan? When did you become vegetarian and then when'd you become vegan? – So I've become vegetarian
while I was still in that house and I lived
there for like a year, but I went back and forth,
like vegetarian for little, then pescatarian, so before… I became vegan two years ago. – The bus, like anybody
wanna hop on a bus? – Gonna take a ride! But it was always just
like what's gonna help me lose the most weight,
it wasn't coming from a place of truly being knowledgeable about how– – To feed your body
– yeah, and like how eating a certain way affects the environment
and it wasn't until I went vegan, that was over two years ago that I was like truly
learnings about foods and where your food comes from and how certain foods effect you, so, I feel like now I can truly say, like I am on a true– – Lifestyle
– yeah, exactly. – You pick that one
date, that one vacation, that one person in your life who told you you needed to lose weight
and then all of a sudden they're not in your life anymore, so then what happens… You know what I'm saying?
– Yeah. – It can't be for external factors. – Yes honey! – It's gotta come from within. – So I wanna talk about,
like fads or diets or tricks that you've tried. – So I'm actually pretty
stubborn with this, I'm like I don't like the main character in any movie, like I
don't like the main idea, like I have literally never ever done anything that was like a fad. – Really? – The only thing I've done and I'm still kind of doing this, is
intermittent fasting, I think that's more like
a lifestyle adjustment. – Totally, I've done intermittent fasting and I've found that like when I do that, my digestive system is
working way more efficiently. – And you know what we mean. – You know what we talkin' 'bout! – You know what other thing I have done, but this was like, I didn't
even decide to do this, I was just like in it for the gag. – Here we go. – It was the master cleanse, – Oh girl!
– Have you ever done that? – Cayenne pepper and a lil lemon juice. – Cayenne pepper! I was in in college and
it was three friends and it was like me
included and we were like I bet you can't stay on the
master cleanse as long as I can! And like I was with two boys, it was Damon and another friend of ours and on day three, it's basically where you don't eat any food. – And you drink like a spicy lemonade. – It's disgusting,
– it's like agave, cayenne, lemon… its terrible.
– I've done it yeah. – And then you drink like
a liter of salt water, like what is that? – Basically–
– Basically like time to commit to going to the bathroom – You just look like, have
you seen that office episode, where kellys doing it
and she's just like pale and her lips are like so white and she's like my tenth
day on the master cleanse. – Like not good, so anyway I found out on day four that homies
were sneaking chips, so that was the only thing
that I actually tried. – I think that we've all
done that, 'cause it's cheap. – It's cheap but it's nasty,
– yeah, it was before the whole juice cleanse, let me tell you girl, in
college I went on a 10 day juice cleanse, – Savage!
– I think it was 11. 10 days, my roommate told me after, she was like I was really afraid that I was gonna come home
and you would just be– – Dead. – On the floor, – Oh no!
– and it's like girl, – Really? – Yes I watched, I still
think this is an incredible documentary it's called
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, it's on Netflix and basically he has like this skin, I forget what it's called, but this skin condition where
he has all these flare ups, so he basically does a juice cleanse for I think 60 days, the documentary goes into like eating a plant based diet, which is why I really like it, but I watched it and I was just like I know what I need to do. – So wait did you feel like you had zero anything inside of you after that? – You're so filled with
juice like I can honestly say I wasn't super hungry
I just missed chewing, like I enjoy eating– – Chewing, I know we both
are not smoothie people, – Yeah I don't, I'm sorry,
– I need salads I'm gonna be the worst old person like new dentures every month. – Like get me my tortilla chips! – I need the crunch!
– Yeah. – We're crunchy girls. – I've done like very
strict calorie counting. – We both did that, MyFitnessPal, MyFitnessPal actually helped me learn
– yes. – about what was in my food. – I think that's a great tool. – It's a great tool that like jump started like when I was really making
that gain, like action, was when I was scanning everything that I was eating into the app called MyFitnessPal, which is free – Yeah – And then I was like oh, you learn how to substitute things basically, you're like oh rice is more than whatever, quinoa, so let me not eat rice
and eat quinoa instead. – And it makes it like a fun way to learn about like what's in
your food, I don't know, like it breaks down the macros. – It's like a math game. – I think it's a very slippery slope, it definitely put me on
the more obsessive side which is when I knew this
is not becoming enjoyable for me anymore, like
I'm just living my life based off these numbers
and like if you're hungry – [Together] Eat! – Yeah same with intermittent fasting – Like if I'm hungry you
better believe I'm a eat! – Have that Lenny and Larry's cookie. – Oh my god yes! Then we're gonna get to the
cheat things that we do, because this is like we're
strict but not like that strict. – Yeah, yeah, we definitely still indulge and like enjoy our lives, but
you never feel like awful. So I would say like two years ago is when I got like more
serious about eating what was right for my body versus what was right for the scale. – Yeah that's so empowering! Empowering, important! – Put it on a T-Shirt or a canvas. – That's so good. – Yeah! I didn't even know that
was coming, it was this. – That was coming to speak the truth, that oat milk takin' the spot.
– Yeah. – No so I was tired of like feeling crappy two and a half years ago,
and then I went to the gym, I was like if I'm going to the gym I'm going to spend a lot of
money on my gym membership, I wasn't loaded with money at the time and I'm still not but I was like why am I spending money on a crappy gym that I don't feel good being in, when if I spend more money at the gym, I'm going to go there
because I'm going to get my moneys worth, that was
like a huge trick in my mind, like I'm a cheap girl,
I'll never not be cheap. So if I'm paying more money to the gym you better believe I will
get full use of that gym. – Oh yes. – And then I took it to the next level, and I was like I'm gonna go broke by hiring a personal trainer! And from twelve sessions I completely transformed, that changed my life! Because he taught me like
how to change my body, and it wasn't with running for 30 minutes, it was 10 minute cardio
and everything else was like push ups, pull
ups, lunges, squats, like strength training where
you could do it anywhere essentially.
– Yeah. – So that changed my perspective
and then what's crazy is that I like dropped
a crap ton of body fat, my muscles were polished
and then I had this freak accident happen where
I was shot in the back in Brazil, and what's crazy
is the bullet went through the back of the car, through the back seat and into my back and
it stopped this close, like probably less than a
centimeter away from my spine. – Like flash the x-ray. – Flash the x-ray. And five doctors looked at me the next day and they were like we did
the results of your tests and the bullet stopped right
before it hit your spine, you could've been paralyzed
but your back muscles were strong enough to withhold the shock. – Girl! – If that aint gon' get
your ass to the gym! Your muscles will help you
if you've been helping them, by getting yourself to the gym. – Yes! And there's Nike training
apps, there's Pinterst, and websites like if you
can't get to the gym, you can still work on
strengthening these muscles. – And so after that happened I was like one you know your body is so
important for these reasons, two I was like I wanna pay almost like, pay it forward to my body,
like my body is carrying me through this life why am
I not dedicating at least 30 minutes a day thanking
it for what it does for me and that's why I'm always
like whether it's stretching, going to the gym, going for a walk, your body does so much for you,
why are you not thanking it? – I love that. – Also feeding it– – Yes. – the right things. – Feeding it period! – Feeding it and feeding
it the right things. – Yes, like starving
yourself, depriving yourself of these nutritious things is not the way. – No. – You have to put food into your body, like I can't stress that enough, I think so many people are like cut this, cut this, it's like that's
not what it's about, it's just putting what your body needs, what your body is calling
for into your body. – So now for some practical tips, because I feel like people are like but I don't know what my body needs. – Yes. – So for starters I think
it's important to like get, these are like very
basic things that I do, substitutions, know your body, do the process of
elimination, how do you feel with dairy, how do you feel without it? How do you feel with meat,
how do you feel without it? How do you feel with red
meat versus chicken and fish? I'm not a vegan, but
I eat vegan most days, I still like my occasional carne asada but like I keep that for limited times. – You can still have the chips y'all! – But what is this? – This is tortilla chips
seasoned with brussel sprouts and like I would say
that the biggest thing is read the ingredient list, know what things you're putting into your body. – I think the shorter the ingredient list or the more natural the better. – Yeah like if you can't
pronounce something on an ingredient list you shouldn't be putting it into your body. – Ooh that's a good one! That's a great one! – I stole that from some
documentary, but it's real– – But it's true, like
what the hell is that? – No. – I don't know, so why am I eating that? Like you wouldn't like smear some like shit you don't know on your skin. I think that's the thing
people don't realize, when you're eating food it's
like going inside of you, so you don't actually see
what's happening on the inside, so it's even more detective
work to figure out what works and what doesn't. Another thing that just
happened to me recently is I took an allergy test, for food, because I was breaking out in hives, so not only are we talking about like, your weight and your muscles
and all of this stuff, but your skin is also a direct reflection of what you're putting in your body, and what I didn't know
for all these damn years is that I was allergic to almonds and I was drinking almond
milk, eating almonds, eating semmelwraps. – I didn't believe you – She was like Jo, it's stress, I was like well that's more stress,
it can't be stress. And I took this allergy test and I'm like randomly allergic to
strawberries, celery, beef, remember you wanted
everybody to take the test? – Who not allergic to beef? – Pork! Like all these things, like
oh sure I'll have bacon! Like no bitch put the bacon down, so I think taking an allergy
test is really important, if you have insurance that covers it. – It's expensive. – It is expensive.
– I've never taken one. – It's expensive but like
for me I literally had hives every single day for like months and then I went to the allergist and huh! She clear! – She lookin' like a fresh new boy! – So that's a good tip. – Yeah I definitely think like knowing what you're putting into your body, how it affects you, like I said read these ingredient lists! Also I mean this is like
pretty common sense, but I cook a lot because I know what I'm putting into my food, when I'm standing at the stove. – That's so true, when
you have this personality, or when you live this healthy lifestyle you're gonna attract people
with healthy lifestyles. – Oh 100%. – All of our friends are
pretty health conscious, like whether I'm not vegan or you are, we're still healthy we
can still like cook meals together we can still
share tips or whatever, like oh you wanna go to the gym with me? Heres a cool yoga class. – Find a physical activity
that works for you, I like boxing, I like
running, I like dancing. That's not for everyone,
you don't have to do what everyone else is doing, maybe like just going for a walk. – Going for walks are
good, digestion walks, really good, you do those. – I do those.
– Post dinner walk, game changer. – If it's safe in your neighborhood. – True, true, true! – We eat when it's light out. – It shouldn't be something
that you dread everyday, like we genuinely look – [Together] Forward – To going to the gym together
– yeah. – and getting our little work out in, – It's true. but the gym isn't for everyone like it could just be a walk or like a– – A sport, whatever.
– A youtube video. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's so many different activities you could do. – You need to make the time. – Make the time. – Because if you're like
oh I don't have the time, no you have the time and
also I think you gotta make these non negotiables with yourself and everyone around you like if you are healthy and living this lifestyle, make it clear to everybody
including yourself that you are going to do that,
everything else can wait. Work is always gonna be
there, friends, the good ones, will be there, they can wait an hour for you to go get your workout on. – Don't be afraid to educate yourself, I think a lot of people
subscribe to the idea that what I don't know can't hurt me and that's not true! – That is literally, the
furthest thing from the truth. – The furthest thing from the truth, like you should want to
know what you're putting into your body, you should want to know where your food is coming
from, so don't be afraid and if you find some information that you maybe aren't happy to find,
like at least then you know. You can still have the chocolate, you can still have the
cookies like we're not saying to cut out all of these unhealthy things, just like be aware of what's in them, and like ways that you
can make it healthier or find healthier options,
it's just all about being conscious and not just mindlessly going through life, eating
whatever and avoiding exercise. It doesn't have to be this huge chore, it's sort of just like waking up. – It is, when you wake up
it's baked into your everyday and I need to bake some more scones later. – I think I should get into that, I mean, I think that's gonna be a good video. – I think it's gonna be a great video! The next video we're
gonna do on my channel, is going to be advice. – Oh! – It's gonna be some advice
from two brown girls. – Yes were gonna give
all of the melinated… – Advice. – Yes. Alright thank you for joining me. – Thanks I love you! – I love you too! Let's get these scones baking please, and don't forget to get
this what is the date Jo? – Merch 1st. – Merch 1st! Ooh. – She the model, baby
girl you know she comes with the chips and salsa. – Oh we stay, I'm just gonna pull it up. – You know what? very fitting for today's theme. – It is.

Finals Week in 2019! (Updated)
The KHL's 2019 Gagarin Cup Final is set! The trophy will get a first-time name on it this season one way or the other, as CSKA Moscow get set to take on Avangard Omsk Oblast. And there will be a full preview of that series here in a couple of days. But for now, it is time to check in on the playoff doings in a number of other Russian men's leagues, junior and senior — Read on, for a look at the approaching championships in the VHL, PVHL, MHL, and NMHL!
We will start in the VHL, Russia's second-tier men's professional league, with the quest for the Petrov Cup (formerly the Bratina Cup; it was re-named for the 2017-18 season). In the early going in the VHL post-season, it was Sokol Krasnoyarsk who grabbed the headlines. Coming in as the 12th seed, Sokol stunned number five team Lada Togliatti three games to one in the opening round, and there was more; due to Krasnoyarsk hosting the Winter Universiade at that time, all four games of the series were played in Togliatti. Getting past Lada under those circumstances was an impressive accomplishment, especially given that Sokol had previously won just one playoff series in seven seasons in the VHL.
But with all due respect to the Krasnoyarsk side, it is Kazakhstan-based Saryarka Karaganda who have been the big story of the quest for the 2018-19 Petrov Cup. Saryarka came into the playoffs ranked tenth, and though their three-game sweep of seventh-seeded Ugra Khanty-Mansiysk in the first round provoked only mild eyebrow-raising (the two teams were only three points apart in the regular-season standings), their seven-game victory over second-ranked Neftyanik Almetyevsk in the quarterfinal definitely got the attention. And Saryarka followed that up with a stunning performance in the semifinal against regular-season champions SKA-Neva St. Petersburg. Not only did the Kazakh club sweep SKA-Neva, but they did not give up a goal to the St. Petersburg powerhouse until the third period of Game 3 (SKA-Neva would end up scoring only three times in the series).
How have Saryarka done it? Well, they have had a little bit of everything going on. Of the five players who have broken ten points in these VHL playoffs, four play for Saryarka, with Airat Ziyazov (14 gp, 7-6-13) and Alexander Remov (12 gp, 2-11-13) leading the way. Saryarka also have the post-season's top-scoring defenceman, in Leonid Metalnikov (14 gp, 3-6-9). And in net is Eduard Reizvikh, who has posted a 94.5 sv% in 13 games in the playoffs after leading all netminders in the regular season with 95.2 in 24 games. The 28-year-old, a longtime depth goalie in Avangard Omsk's system, has had a few cups of coffee in the KHL but has done his best work at the VHL level (he has spent time with Saryarka, Neftyanik Almetyevsk, Yermak Angarsk, and now-defunct Kuban Krasnodar).
The truth is that Saryarka's modest tenth-place regular-season finish may well be masking a very good team. They struggled badly through the first part of the season, and a first-ever playoff non-appearance looked very possible. But a coaching change early on turned things around; Kari Heikkilä departed in October, and Leonīds Tambijevs was hired a month later (perhaps not coincidentally, Saryarka signed Reizvikh out of free agency at the same time they hired Tambijevs). Tambijevs was an inspired if obvious choice as bench boss; he coached Dynamo St. Petersburg to the Petrov Cup last season, and his departure from the defending champions early in this campaign came as something as a surprise. In any case, Saryarka hauled themselves up to tenth before embarking on this tremendous playoff run, and are now staring a second championship in the eye (they won what was then the Bratina Cup in 2013-14). We must also wonder how long it will be until KHL teams start calling Tambijevs' number (Reizvikh's too, for that matter).
Saryarka's opponent for the Petrov Cup Final will be Siberia's Rubin Tyumen. Coming in as the fourth seed, Rubin dispatched HK Ryazan in three straight to open the post-season, then beat Zvezda Moscow 4-2 in the quarterfinal. The semifinal brought Rubin up against third-seeded Toros Neftekamsk, and it was Toros who won the first two games. But the team from Tyumen rallied at home, winning Games 3 and 4 in overtime before closing outing the series with two more victories. Rubin have received strong netminding from 23-year-old former Traktor Chelyabinsk youth goalie Yegor Nazarov (15gp, 94.6 sv%), and have deployed a deep and balanced attack that has seen 17 different players record at least one goal in these playoffs. Their top scorer so far is forward Ilya Karlin (15 gp, 3-6-9), but keep an eye on defencemen Stanislav Tunkhuzin and Maxim Veryovkin, who have combined for 11 points and seven goals in the post-season, with five of those goals being game-winners.
The 2018-19 final will be a re-match of the 2013-14 edition, won in six games by Saryarka; 2013-14 is also the most recent appearance at the ultimate stage of the playoffs for either team, and is the only previous post-season meeting between the two. It will be Saryarka's third trip to the final (they have a series record of 1-1 there so far), and Rubin's fourth; the team from Tyumen has a 1-2 record in their finals, having won the championship in 2010-11.
In Russia's third-tier PVHL meanwhile, the final pairing for the Federations Cup is set: 2016-17 champions HK Rostov will meet Mordoviya Saransk, title-winners at this level in 2012-13. Rostov have the playoffs' best goalie tandem in Alexander Zubarev (4 gp, 96.0 sv%) and Maxim Kukurudza (4 gp, 92.6 sv%), while Mordoviya will counter with the top three scorers in the post-season: Yevgeny Filin (10 gp, 5-6-11), Yevgeny Kolychev (10 gp, 3-7-10), and Dmitry Sarazov (9 gp, 2-8-10). Defending champions HK Tambov, incidentally, were not involved this season, having moved on up to try their luck in the VHL (they missed the playoffs there, but were decently competitive for a first-year team).
The finalists for the Kharlamov Cup, championship trophy of Russia's major junior MHL, have also been determined: Avto Yekaterinburg will take on defending champions Loko Yaroslavl. Avto, junior squad of the KHL's Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg, placed second in the MHL's East Conference, before overcoming Snezhnye Barsy Astana (3-1) and Tolpar Ufa (3-1) in the first two rounds of the playoffs. In the semi-final, they faced last year's runners-up SKA-1946 St. Petersburg (the MHL "crosses over" its conferences at the semifinal stage), and defeated them 3-2 in a series where four of the games were decided by a single goal, two of those in overtime. As for Loko, whose KHL parent club is Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, they came third in the West Conference, and claimed Russkie Vityazi Chekhov (3-1) and Dynamo St. Petersburg (3-0) as their first two playoff victims. The semifinal put them up against the East's regular-season champions, Mamonty Yugry Khanty-Mansiysk, but Loko prevailed by three games to one. There is quite a contrast between the two finalists in terms of the histories; Loko are bidding for a third Kharlamov Cup in four seasons, while Avto had not been beyond the second round of the playoffs prior to this season.
If we had to pick just one player to watch in this series, it would be Avto's #71, forward Maxim Rasseikin. An MHL over-ager (he will turn 21 at the end of this month), Rasseikin played 44 games in the KHL regular season with Avtomobilist this season, scoring 3-5-8 in 8:27 per game. After five playoff matches as a bit-part player for Avtomobilist, he was sent back to the MHL, where he has been tearing things up; Rasseikin's line of 8-5-13 in nine games in the junior playoffs leads everybody in points and goals (he has three more goals in the post-season than anybody else, despite missing games to play in the KHL). In the semi-final against SKA-1946, he scored the winning goal in all three of Avto's victories, with two of those coming overtime. No reason to think that he will not be a significant player in the KHL, and soon.
It is no surprise, given the nature of their parent team, that Loko's strength starts from the back. They have two spectacular goalies in Vladislav Ogoryak (6 gp, 96.7 sv% in these playoffs) and former U18 national-teamer Daniil Isayev (4 gp, 94.7 sv%); I expect Isayev, who made his KHL debut this season and excelled (5 gp, 95.3 sv%) to get most of the work, but Ogoryak is one to watch for sure. Lokomotiv also have an intriguing talent up fron, in 17-year-old Ilya Nikolayev. He scored 25 points in 41 games in his rookie MHL campaign this season, and has a very impressive line of 5-3-8 in six games in the playoffs.
I would think, based on their recent experience, that Loko will have the advantage, but Avto's Rasseikin may be in the category of "too good for this league" and could serve as the great equalizer.
Below the MHL we have the NMHL, which is Russia's second-tier men's junior league. That circuit's Regions Cup was won last season by Dizelist Penza, junior club of the VHL's Dizel Penza; Dizelist will be back to defend their title in 2018-19. Their final opponent will be HK Rossosh, champions in 2014-15.
And one final bit of finals-related news, although this one is of a season already finished. PSK Sakhalin from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, are the 2018-19 champions of the Asia League, the Far-Eastern circuit that has also includes teams in Japan and South Korea. PSK, the league's lone Russian representative, had come close before, losing at the last stage in 2016 and 2017. In 2019, it finally all came together; the team from the island of Sakhalin defeated South Korea's Anyang Halla in the semifinal, before downing Japanese team Nippon Paper Cranes three games to zero in the final. Congratulations to PSK Sakhalin!
Here then are the start dates for those four upcoming finals series, if known, plus some YouTube links for livestreams (I will update those links if new info becomes available):
- VHL (Rubin Tyumen vs. Saryarka Karaganda): April 16th, YouTube.
- PVHL (HK Rostov vs. Mordoviya Saransk): April 13th.
- MHL (Avto Yekaterinburg vs. Loko Yaroslavl): April 12th, YouTube.
- NMHL (HK Rossosh vs. Dizelist Penza): April 13th.
Next up here, we will take look at the just-concluded group stage of the Women's World Championship in Finland, and on Thursday will arrive our 2018-19 Gagarin Cup Final preview. As soon as the Women's Worlds are done, we'll re-cap that tournament and preview the Women's Hockey League's playoff final. Thank you for reading!

The amount of households with dogs is forever growing, as well as for a number of these households locating the time to accept dog out for that daily walks it requires may also be understandably an excessive amount of to handle. This caused great rise in recognition of professional dog walking services. An expert dog master ought to be a caring person with a lot of experience, dealing with, owning and searching after their very own dogs along with other, not to mention an authentic affection for that creatures.
Several things need to be considered when beginning professional dog walking. It is usually smart to have insurance to safeguard your wellness, should your dog you're walking occur to damage a house or perhaps attack and injure another dog. If you're a dog master, it may be beneficial so that you can give a full and current Criminal record check are accountable to any prospects because the job frequently includes collecting dogs from client homes and for that reason holding/transporting property keys.
Regarding charges for professional dog walking services for any single dog, some locations can warrant rather pricey rates than the others. Nevertheless the rate of charge per dog decreases with the rise in the amount of dogs being walked. Length or distance of walks also plays a sizable element in cost per walk. You might like to consider offering shorter distance or briefer time walks for ageing or smaller sized dogs they do not require long periods of exercise that many other bigger and fitter dogs do.
It's highly suggested that a maximum of four dogs ought to be walked past an individual at anyone time. Should you walk five or even more dogs at anyone time there's the probability of developing a pack mentality inside the group and a significant disturbance could be produced from a number, otherwise, all the dogs. Possibly much more importantly, if you're walking a bigger number of dogs, the likelihood of the walker's instructions being heard and obeyed diminishes the bigger the audience is. Each one of these factors have result in a quantity of city councils lounging lower legal limitations regarding the number of dogs could be walked at any time by an individual. The utmost restriction generally is four dogs.
Before walking your dog you need to ensure that they're putting on the right collar and that it's not broken and may break throughout the walk or make the dog any discomfort once the master pulls around the lead. It's also vital that you make sure you are while using correct period of lead for that particular size and height from the dog to assist the master maintain full control whatsoever occasions. Leads have course essential when walking your dog lower a street, alongside a road or town center, what about in large open spaces for example fields? It's highly suggested that the dog simply be removed charge and aloud to operate free when the master is certain that your dog will respond and obey when she or he calls your dog back.
Another essential issue nowadays is obviously obtaining following the dog you're walking. Like a dog master its is the duty to get any poo left out through the dog(s) you might be walking meaning getting a powerful way to obtain waste bags a hands whatsoever occasions. Not to mention after obtaining the mess you need to get rid of the waste within the correct manner. Many parks are actually full of appropriate dumping bins that are designed specifically for dog mess.
Overall dog walking is definitely an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for the master and also the dog, as well as the relief provided to pet proprietors who use a professional dog walking service. Walks really are a necessity inside a dog's existence, nearly as much as water and dietary food. A proper and active lifestyle can result in your pet becoming an over-all calmer, more enjoyable, respectful and happy pet for that owner to savor.

Digitalisation: 6 key trends disrupting the insurance sector
As exponential, digital-driven technologies transform the 4th Industrial Revolution from a buzzword into reality, the financial services sector - and insurance in particular - face massive disruption, it starts with a radical reimagining of the very model insurance has been built on since its origins in the 14th Century, and Africa is no exception.
Several trends are emerging on the continent that pose a significant threat to the business models of established insurance companies, but also offer enormous opportunities to those astute and nimble enough to seize them - incumbents and newcomers alike. These trends exist in the realms of digitisation, but more importantly, in digitalisation.
Digitisation is about optimisation, taking existing business and operating models and applying digital technologies to make them work more smoothly and efficiently. In the admin-heavy insurance sector this typically involves automating many aspects of the assessment and claims processes as well as risk profiles and actuarial models.
Digitalisation, by contrast, as Gartner defines it; is an entirely new way of doing business. It's about opening up new markets, acquiring new customers, offering new products and moving into new industries. Essentially, very little of your current business model remains in world in which you embark on a digitalisation journey.
Trend 1: From insuring things to enabling and protecting a better life
Traditionally, the insurance business has been about covering objects against risks, whether these be jewellery, vehicles, homes, lives or health. Yes, insurance companies in their marketing may have paid lip service to the customer, but in reality, their business model has centred on the items being insured.
Digitialisation is upending this paradigm, putting the customer at the centre of an industry that's increasingly less about things and more about risk and improvement services to enable and protect a better life.
Interestingly, it's technology in the hands of customers that's been helping to fuel this trend and South Africa is no laggard in this respect. The recent evolution in health insurance from bolt-on loyalty programmes to complex, behaviour driven ecosystems – are paving the way for a model where insurers allow customers to lower their risk profiles, and reward them for desired behaviour in real-time.
Trend 2: Tech-savvy customers may be your biggest disruptor
Tech-enabled consumers are increasingly taking control of their own health monitoring and risk management. Services previously guarded by insurance companies because they provided competitive advantage are now easily accessible to the public at large, albeit those at the higher end of the income scale.
For instance, wearables such as Fitbit and Apple Watch provide immediate feedback and put consumers' health data into their own hands. People can track their calories, exercise minutes, heart rate, ovulation and period cycles all on their own, without help from their medical insurance companies.
In the household insurance and security space, consumers have a large and ever-growing selection of internet-linked cameras, sensors and apps to choose from that allow them to monitor their homes, offices and possessions, many of which don't require costly contracts.
They will increasingly demand to pay less for such services because digital innovation has provided the tools for them to do their own risk management and monitoring. With this in mind, the question insurance companies need to ask themselves is: How do we find ways to continue to innovate and deliver meaningful solutions?
A handful of forward-looking companies are already doing this, with one leader in the field giving its customers free Apple Watches and other wearables provided they meet specified monthly exercise and nutrition targets.
Trend 3: Fintechs and fragmentation
Technology driven financial services start-ups (FinTechs) and specifically those who focus on insurance (InsureTechs) are already starting to disrupt the industry.
They're doing this by taking one segment of the traditional insurance value chain - search, compare, monitor or claim - and excelling at it. By providing the best service in respect of this component, they're able compete on only this price as opposed to the entire value chain. Essentially, they can hone their organisational competencies and deliver a high-quality service that the incumbent may not be able to match.
The fragmentation of the value chain that results from this can lead to a race to the bottom as incumbents and newcomers compete for an ever-diminishing slice of the insurance pie.
Trend 4: Product of One
A second way InsureTechs are disrupting the insurance market is with what's known as the "Product of One", an approach that's gaining popularity in the insurance industry because it is customer-centric.
Through these offerings, consumers are now able to choose how, when and what they want to insure without being forced to fit into a specific insurance box or "one size fits all" comprehensive package. For example, instead of a customer taking a comprehensive insurance plan for a car, which involves a monthly premium, they may choose to pause their insurance during times when they are not using the car.
Such an approach can be customised almost infinitely. A 4x4 owner, for example, may drive his or her vehicle on tarred roads most of the year but opt for added insurance on their tyres for just the four days of an upcoming off-road trip. Two innovative South African InsureTech companies are already making waves by offering componentised short-term insurance; where clients can control aspects of their policy and adjust their cover as needed (e.g. by pausing accident cover), without having to contact the insurer.
Granularity of this sort wouldn't be possible without digitalisation. The Product of One is business model disruption is enabled by digital because you can't respond to this trend as an insurance company unless you're digital at the core. Traditional systems simply don't support this level of flexibility.
Trend 5: Strategic data partnerships with adjacent industries
There's a saying that data is the new gold or oil and nowhere is this truer than in insurance. Data is the very lifeblood of the industry, with everything from the actuarial models to the risk profiles based on data.
So, it's hardly surprising that insurance companies have until now jealously guarded this information. But there's a growing awareness of the value of thinking outside of the traditional data box.
For example, whereas traditionally a company offering insurance on a car would ask a prospective customer about their use of the vehicle, a lot more information could be gleaned if the company had access to (suitably anonymised) service data from the automotive dealership.
Another example that's already happening in South Africa is that of a leading health insurance company partnering with major retail chain to understand how its customers shop. Yes, it rewards you when you buy healthy food, but in return, it and its retail partner now have access to a treasure trove of data, giving them a significant competitive advantage over other insurance companies and retailers.
African and South African insurance companies can do a lot more to leverage similar data sharing partnerships which would open doors to new opportunities and help foster the growth of both partners in new markets.
Trend 6: AI, the gig economy and the future of work
There's no escaping the fact that implementing the business model changes required by a digitalisation strategy will a require significant financial investment. Finding the capital for this in a low-margin sector like short-term insurance is no easy feat, which makes reducing costs more important than ever.
Many insurance companies rely on large call centres, especially when it comes to customer support. They can automate a portion of these tasks through artificial intelligence (AI) and bots, but for complicated queries humans still want to talk to humans. It seems then, that there is no way out of the traditional call centre… or is there?
You don't have to have all those humans sitting in the same building. The growing gig economy puts a distributed workforce at the disposal of insurers. Instead of paying someone a fixed salary to sit in a cubicle for X hours a day, an insurer can pay them for each successfully resolved issue. Thanks to technology, these gig employees can work from wherever they choose anywhere in the world, and queries can be resolved from any device.
Such elasticity in terms of staffing means insurance companies can have a full complement of call centre agents over busy claims periods like Easter and Christmas while scaling back during slacker times.
While automation will inevitably mean fewer jobs in areas like actuarial, claims processing and other internal functions, the vast quantities of new data flowing in will require a new breed of employee able to make sense of it and create better products.
Yes, there will be fewer people doing the robotic tasks best suited to machines, but there will be more people building amazing things and concentrating on customer experience. In this respect insurance companies should start to look a lot like technology companies.
If these trends show us anything it's that those insurers committed to innovation will continue to access new markets, drive behaviour change and prosper. If they aren't currently doing so, now is the time for organisations to look at how to shape business culture to fully leverage digital technologies in order to unlock the myriad new opportunities presented by digitalisation.

Housed in Skidmore's Special Collections, the Fox Collection features approximately 400 books by authors and illustrators including Aubrey Beardsley, William Blake, Robert Browning, Lewis Carroll, George Cruikshank, Robert Cruikshank, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, the Grimm Brothers, Washington Irving, Sir Walter Scott, William Thackeray, and Oscar Wilde.
Nineteenth-century illustrations form a significant portion of the Norman Fox Collection, which spans the 15th to 20th centuries and includes a significant number of rare books. In 2005, the Norman M. Fox family of Saratoga Springs officially donated the valuable collection to Skidmore, where it had been housed since 1967.
Norman Fox proposed the lecture series in 1990 when he inherited the collection from his longtime friend Hannah M. Adler. The Fox family (Norman; son Harvey; daughter-in-law Cassie, a 1980 Skidmore graduate; and daughter Cindy Fox Aisen) has actively supported several events in connection with the Fox-Adler lecture series. These have included the annual lecture itself, which emphasizes 18th-and 19tht-century literature or popular culture, along with the publication of several catalogs highlighting the collection, and special exhibits of works from the collection.
Originally acquired by the late Hannah and F. Charles Adler, longtime residents of Saratoga Springs, the collection includes Saint Augustine's Opuscula (1489), and a signed, limited edition of Virginia Woolf's Beau Brummel. Works by 17th-century authors Sir Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson, and John Dryden, and by 18th-century authors, Henry Fielding, Thomas Gray, and Adam Smith also highlight the collection.
A smaller "collection within the collection" consists of numerous works by the artist George Cruikshank, whose drawing and caricatures vividly illustrate political and cultural developments of the Victorian era appreciated by a growing reading public.
Skidmore English Professor Catherine Golden, an expert on the Victorian illustrated book, has been instrumental in organizing the Fox Collection and is one of several faculty members who use it regularly for research as well as a teaching tool. Says Golden, "The collection contains both high literature and popular culture of the time, including the serial Bentley's Miscellany, which published installments of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. It's wonderful to be able to show students how people of the time read this story in its original format." Golden's students have also used the Fox Collection as the foundation for exhibitions in Skidmore's Scribner Library and Tang Teaching Museum.
According to Golden, "The Fox Collection has given students a chance to work with primary sources. Involvement in that kind of resource in our Internet age is fading." Students using the collection also gain knowledge about differences in class and gender. "Leather-bound versus cloth-bound covers and the illustrations in these books speak to issues of class and gender in a powerful way. The image becomes the centerpiece of conversations that go beyond literature. It brings the century to life and gets the students excited."
Added Golden, "This collection has instilled in many an appreciation for rare books – the kind of appreciation that Hannah Adler had" (The Hannah M. Adler Collection, 5) …"Those who study the Adler Collection have a unique opportunity to see rare examples of Victorian art and literature in their original form as people in the Victorian era viewed them" (120).
A very thorough catalog of the collection, by Professor Catherine Golden, is also available in the circulating collection (call number Z881 .S375 1993) and in Special Collections.

Thanks a bunch 030
bigfeh wrote:This mod was requested in bigfeh's 24h Modding Queue.
Modding Easy diffs is hard for me since I never played them, but here we go
(also, love the song choice. Cheers! and are you accepting guest Hard diffs? )
I'll pm you about this in-game if you don't mind uwu
Easy• 00:15:388(1) - Following the vocals with the beginning of the slider, but not the end, feels very weird. Maybe consider revisiting? Following the vocals with this one slider and then suddenly switching to mapping the background music would feel inconsistent ><
• 01:39:482(1) - The return of the slider doesn't coincide with the vocals. Consider cutting the slider in two as in pic related mapping blue ticks in easy Diffs is out of the question I think...even mapping on red ticks would require a larger break to help the player adjust• 01:39:482(2) - Ending doesn't coincide with the vocals either. Maybe make the slider a 1/2th note shorter, as in pic related? Same as above. suddenly having something end on a red tick would be a rather big inconsistency I think• 02:16:332(2) - Return is great because it coincides with the cymbals. The ending, however, does not - Consider making another note and removing the return altogether, as in pic related This honestly is the best I can do while sticking to white ticks only c:• 03:01:687(2) - Exact same as above ^
This is something that I should've put into the 'consideration' field during my request, the fact that I think the easy Diff should be white ticks only ;w;
Normal• Overall, this diff is pretty solid. You should, however, consider making it a bit harder since the gap between this and the Easy difficulty is too small imo The problem with this is that while the Easy Diff is only white ticks, the Normal Diff uses loooots and looooots of 1/2 with a kind of high DS, so making it even harder would eventually mean turning it into an easy Hard Diff ><
• 00:26:726(1) - Recommend cutting 1/2 note from slider end to sync with vocals How in the sh*t did I miss this. nice
• 01:27:199(5,6) - Consider adding note inbetween, as in pic related I'd like to keep this little break and have the slider follow the vocals• 02:54:128(1) - Making this a return slider should probably be a good idea, since there's a percussion hit right in the middle of it (as seen in pic related™) not neccessarily a bad suggestion, though I would like this to be consistent with the other kiai stars as well to avoid confusion. I'll keep this in mind though and watch for similar suggestions in other mods™
Sorry for making so few observations on your maps, but they're pretty decent and don't need many changes. I love this song as well (why do the best songs keep popping up on my queue?) and I'd be delighted to map a Hard diff for this.

My sister and I catered a party this past weekend, and we were looking for a good vegetarian option to serve as an appetizer. We wanted something that would be good at room temp, and I found these bites on Pinterest and had to try them. They were a hit!
1 brick Cream Cheese (8oz), softened
¼ cup Ranch Dressing
2 Cucumbers (long)
Pint Grape Tomatoes, halved length wise
Pinch of Salt
2 tbsp Dill (fresh)
2 tbsp Chives (optional, for garnish)
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the cucumbers. Cut cucumber in ½ inch thick rounds. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, scoop a small divot into the top of the cucumber (this is where the cheese mixture will rest).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, salt, and fresh dill. Beat with a hand mixer (what I used, it makes for a fluffier mixture), or mix together with a spoon. Now, you can certainly spoon the mixture into the cucumber cups, but I prefer to use a large zip lock bag, with a piping tip (it is seriously easy, and looks so pretty!)
Pipe the mixture into each cucumber cup, then top with a grape tomato half. Arrange on a platter, and sprinkle with chives for garnish. Enjoy!

With the 2016 Olympics officially over and everyone's sense of nationalism has receded to (relatively) normal terms, I think it is time to address the elephant in the room: Ryan Lochte scandal and the double standard it represents to not only millions of Americans, but people across the world.
Lochte was a swimmer at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. He was a fan favorite and very accomplished athletes.
To make a very long and complicated story as short as possible: Lochte and another swimmer Jimmy Feigen claimed that they and two others were robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro- a story soon proved to be inherently inaccurate.
What actually happened is the swimmers were heavily intoxicated and vandalized the bathroom of gas station, and as a result were held by security guards of the establishment.
Many of Lochte's endorsers did quickly remove all tags with him, such as Speedo and Ralph Lauren, which is obviously a very just repercussion for both his vandalism and false testimony.
Lochte's situation is an old story both literally and figuratively. He's thirty-two but deemed "just a kid" and therefore should not receive the full brute of the recommended punishment.
I do wonder why Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin were considered adults and their punishment of death was not too much.
I really am not trying to make a false equivalency: I know these situations have very little in common and I do not want to compare apples and oranges, but I do wonder, if a black man pulled the same stunt, would the public be as understanding?
The idea of American Exceptionalism is at work here as well. Would everyone, especially Americans, feel the same way if an athlete from another country behaved the same way.
I do not want to ruin anyone's life: I am not sure if jail time would be an adequate punishment for Lochte's actions, but I do think a black man would not receive the same treatment, which is inherently and undeniably both wrong and true.
