Family-owned THOR•LO Inc. is marking National Foot Health Awareness Month in April by offering a free pair of its American-made Thorlos® padded socks to everyone in the United States.
"The magic is on the inside of Thorlos," said owner Jim Throneburg, inventor of Thorlos. "When you turn a pair inside out, you notice how dense and resilient the padding is. But seeing is one thing; wearing is believing."
Hence, the free offer, which represents a retail value of $14.99 per pair. To take advantage of this offer, visit https://www.thorlo.com/free-sock-offer.
The padding in activity-specific Thorlos has been clinically shown to reduce blisters, pain, pressures and moisture while providing protection and comfort under the ball of the foot, the heel and the toes. The company's proprietary THORLON® acrylic yarn wicks away moisture, ensuring a healthy environment for the foot.
Throneburg noted that by age 50, many people have lost half of the fat pads that protect the bones and soft tissues in their feet.
"We make padded socks, but what we really provide is foot protection," he said. "There are millions of people around the world who won't wear anything but Thorlos."
With the trial offer, Thorlos is hoping to add to its list of devotees.

RIVERSIDE – It's rare, but occasionally Pep Fernandez can't be part of the Inland Sports Show.
When that happens, as it did on Saturday, the keys to the show are left with me.
I'm left to try and rise to the level of Pep while subbing in on the Inland Sports Show. I do my best to make the Inland Empire's most ubiquitous sports journalist look like a Hall of Famer by struggling my way through the hour of local sports talk.
With Pep in Arizona at spring training with the morning show from KCAL 96.7 in Redlands (he's their morning show sports guy), I called upon friend and Norte Vista basketball coach Geoff Gorham to help me shoulder the load.
Gorham is an interesting guy, a great storyteller and a solid individual. He's got a story for everything and knows everyone.
So, why wouldn't I call upon his depth of Inland knowledge and great stories about everything from players and coaches to watch to his take on Star Wars?
Also in studio to give in-depth analysis on NASCAR was Green Bay Packer fan and Jimmie Johnson lover intern Ja Rule (Javier Cabrera).
Despite not being on the show this week, Pep's name still made it into the conversation when I received an audio file from a friend of Pep and his buddy, Jimbo of KCAL 96.7, doing their best rendition of play-by-play at the Dodgers' spring training game against the Angels.
Not only did Pep predict that former Riverside Poly standout Austin Barnes, a catcher with the Dodgers, would hit a home run in the at-bat, he then threw down some knowledge about Barnes and his new No. 28 jersey (was No. 65 last season) and gave a very Jack Buck version of the long ball, Barnes' second homer of the spring.
It was textbook Pep. I often wonder why he's not better utilized as a broadcaster. He's like KNBC4 Sports anchor Fred Roggin, only better
We opened the show with Auto Club Speedway Communications Director David Talley, who came on to talk up next weekend's NASCAR races. Talley, who said he's more of an open-wheel fan, told us about the events of next weekend, everything from the hauler parade from Rancho Cucamonga to Fontana, to Friday qualifying and Saturday and Sunday's races.
When asked what the most important thing fans need to know, Talley said, "get there early." Not because of crowds but because there is so much to do each day, from musical acts to Q&A's with drivers like Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the fans zone and, of course … the racing.
We also talked up the great basketball both the UC Riverside women and Cal Baptist's men's and women's teams have been playing.
Although the lady Highlanders were defeated by UC Davis in the Big West Conference tournament at the Honda Center on Friday night, I pointed out that John Margaritis' mostly local roster had compiled a 17-game win streak down the stretch with only seven available players on the roster due to injuries.
The Highlander women have an outside shot at making the NCAA Tournament, but no matter what happens going forward, the grit and determination those young women have shown this season make them winners in my book.
As for the CBU women and men, both won Friday and looked poised to dive into the NCAA Division II Championship pool before Saturday's games.
We closed the show with me playing word association with Gorham, who has deep roots in the area. His dad, John, was the longtime Norte Vista and La Sierra basketball coach.
I asked and he answered questions about Cheryl and Reggie Miller, Kawhi Leonard, best big men ever, Matt Logan and his Mt. Rushmore of NFL quarterbacks.
In case you were wondering, Gorham called Cheryl Miller the best women's player ever (duh!) and Reggie Miller a Hall of Famer (well, he was inducted several years ago). He downplayed Leonard's huge upside and said Kawhi still had a long way to go to get to Reggie's level.
The best big men he's ever seen? Gorham had two, former North and UCLA big man Kelvin Butler and former Moreno Valley Viking Bernard Wolf, whom he called the "most physically imposing, intimidating player, who owned every square inch of the paint."
When asked about Matt Logan, Gorham was brief. "He's the best football coach I've seen and a great individual," Gorham said.
Before I go and give you back to Pep and the Inland Sports Show, here's the last bit of sage advice Gorham shared with the audience. Gorham's NFL quarterback Mt. Rushmore consists of Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas (he never even saw the guy play).
When times are tough, you go to the people who have your back. Saturday, Ja Rule and Coach Gorham had mine.
It was a pleasure to mix it up with you guys.
Now, back to Pep and the previously scheduled programming.

What's that hiding among all the green tomatoes?
A tomato grows in Tempe! (And a red one at that.) This weekend I listened to a great podcast discussing the Easter season and gardening — how spiritually clearing the earth and watching it bloom again coincides with the high holiday in the northern hemisphere. Regardless of your spiritual leanings, pretty sure leaving for work on a Monday morning only to find your first ripe tomato ready for the picking is a sign of many good things to come. Now, if only the birds won't notice the harvest is ready…

Moms Who Listen
by Jessica Tanenbaum | May 9th, 2008 | Published in All, Brain & Psychology, Health
[If you cannot see the Revver video below, you can click here for a hi-res mp4 video or here for a quicktime video.]
Interviewee: Bethany Rittle-Johnson, Vanderbilt University
Explain Yourself, Kiddo
When adults talk to kids, do we really sound like the droning, inscrutable voice of Charlie Brown's teacher? If so, Vanderbilt University psychologist Bethany Rittle-Johnson and colleagues have just worked out another reason why we adult pedants need a new tactic.
According to their study, published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, preschoolers learn better by explaining their ideas to their moms, rather than explaining their ideas into a tape recorder, or simply not explaining at all. To Rittle-Johnson, the study suggests that by asking even young kids to explain what they've learned, you can help them understand better.
"Kids do a lot of listening, but not a lot of explaining. But even little kids can learn a lot from explaining. And it turns out that if we have them explain to their moms, they learn even more," she says.
And dads, you're not off the hook. Rittle-Johnson says any familiar listener probably can offer kids the same service as mom. "We started with moms because if you're four, your mom is the person that you have the closest relationship with usually," says Rittle-Johnson, herself a mother of two. But she says that most likely, "this would be exactly the same thing with dad or grandma."
Playtime with Psychologists
Red fly, red fly, yellow spider, red fly, red fly, yellow spider. What comes next? Such simple pattern completion tasks stretch the minds of four and five year olds. (The answer is red fly.) So Rittle-Johnson and colleagues chose such patterns to test whether kids learn better when given the opportunity to explain.
The researchers randomly assigned the preschoolers in the study to one of three groups. Some kids learned new patterns with the bugs, and then had to explain the pattern into a tape recorder. Another group explained the patterns to their moms, who were instructed to listen but not say anything. And the third group didn't explain at all.
Then, the researchers tested the kids with more patterns, some just like the ones kids had already seen, and some a tad more challenging. The results show that when preschoolers explain to mom, they learn better.
Rittle-Johnson's experiment is one you can try at home. But parents, don't expect sophisticated philosophy from your preschooler. Rittle-Johnson says when moms and kids come in for the experiment, "We always tell moms, the kids might not say things that are not particularly good. But that doesn't mean they're not thinking about it." Kiddie-style explanations include lots of pointing and some story telling.
Still, Rittle-Johnson says the kids who explained to mom stayed focused on the task better, so these kids were able to learn the patterns better. "And so partially it's just the act of explaining to mom gets you maybe be a little less off-task," she says.
For kids who didn't explain to mom, explanations got more off track. "Their explanations are like, 'Well, the purple caterpillar flies through the air and it goes right, and it lands right here,'" says Rittle-Johnson, "so they're really talking about nothing related to the pattern. Or they'll say, 'I really like spiders,' and that's why the spider goes there."
According to the study, kids who explained either to the tape recorder or to mom performed equally well on less complex patterns. On the test, kids who explained to mom got 75 percent correct, kids who explained to the tape recorder got 72 percent, and kids who didn't explain at all performed the worst, at 42 percent.
But with the more challenging problems, kids who explained to mom outperformed the kids who explained to the tape recorder. Rittle-Johnson says, "The kids who explained to their moms, they had gotten it more. They were better able to solve these harder problems." These kids scored 64 percent on the complex patterns, while tape recorder kids scored only 39 percent, and the kids who didn't explain scored a dismal 19 percent.
The next step, says Rittle-Johnson, may be to see if kids learn better by explaining to younger siblings or people who don't know the answers. She says it's "harder to pull that one off" because for the experiment, she'd have to convince toddlers to sit and listen to their older siblings.
But for now, based on her study, Rittle-Johnson has some advice. "Parents and teachers and aunts and uncles–anyone who wants their kid to actually learn stuff: this explanation process is a really good thing to do and so, don't just make your kid listen. Have them explain, too," she says.
And what if you're having a hard time with an idea of your own? Maybe it's time to give mom a call.
This research by Rittle-Johnson, Megan Saylor, and Kathryn Swygert was published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, available online November 19, 2007 and was funded by Vanderbilt University.

Guest phones located in hallways and lobbies should not allow direct room dialing, so anyone using
the phone should have to call the operator and request a room by guest name,
not room number. A great number of restaurant fires each
year will originate from the kitchen area. If you must
evacuate and can't find your dog in the house, leave an outside
door open and then call your dog's name once you get out.

"Hunger is not an issue of charity. It is an issue of justice."– Jacques Diouf, Food and Agricultural Organization Director-general
The lessons of the nation's past tell us that liberty and justice cannot be secured for ourselves and kept from others without turning sour. Because we have cherished liberty for others, this country has sacrificed enormously (if not always wisely) in lives and material resources. We have not cherished justice as much. But justice and equality are no less a part of the nation's ideals, and we build on them by exercising them in our relationship with others. When we are rich and others are hungry or impoverished beyond description, justice calls for ending this imbalance.

The victim of starvation burns up his own body fats, muscles and tissues for fuel. His body quite literally consumes itself and deteriorates rapidly. The kidneys, liver, and endocrine system often cease to function properly. A shortage of carbohydrates, which play a vital role in brain chemistry, affects the mind. Lassitude and confusion set in, so that starvation victims often seem unaware of their plight. The body's defenses drop; disease kills most famine victims before they have time to starve to death, An individual begins to starve when he has lost about a third of his normal body weight. Once this loss exceeds 40 percent, death is almost inevitable.– TIME MAGAZINE

Hunger is actually the worst weapon of mass destruction. It claims millions of victims each year." Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil

everyone concerned for the hungry, the naked, the poor,

for prisoners,
for all flesh that suffers,
has God close at hand.
We have the ability, we have the means, and we have the capacity to eliminate hunger from the face of the earth. We need only the will."– President John F. Kennedy
This is the first generation in all of recorded history that can do something about the scourge of poverty. We have the means to do it. We can banish hunger from the face of the earth.– Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey Hunger is a political condition.
The earth has enough knowledge and resources to eradicate this ancient scourge. Hunger has plagued the world for thousands of years. But ending it is a greater moral imperative now than ever before, because for the first time humanity has the instruments at hand to defeat this cruel enemy at a very reasonable cost. We have the ability to provide food for all within the next three decades.– Senator George McGovern preface of THE THIRD FREEDOM ENDING HUNGER IN OUR TIME

Remembering Kristin Lodge-Miller
I knew what that was about because I was reading the Chapel Hill Newspaper. On July 15, 1993, a jogger was gunned down at that spot. Her name was Kristin Ann Lodge-Miller. She was 26 years old, and she worked as a speech therapist.
Her killer was an 18 year old student at Chapel Hill High School. Anthony Georg "Tony" Simpson was known as a very troubled young man. He was riding his bicycle and carrying a concealed .32 caliber handgun. At around 6:00 AM on a busy street, Simpson assaulted Lodge-Miller on the jogging trail, and got pepper-sprayed for it. Enraged, he pulled out his handgun and shot her 5 times. This he did in daylight in front of many witnesses. The 5th time he shot her was in the back of the head as she lay dying. He was arrested almost immediately afterward.
Since then, artificial flowers, sometimes in baskets, sometimes casually tossed by people walking by, and at least one styrofoam cross, appeared on or near that spot. It was interesting to watch it grow every day. As shocking as it was to know that such a crime of senseless violence could occur in such a peaceful town, it did my heart good to see that people cared enough to make a shrine for her.
Every day for the rest of that year, the pile of flowers kept on getting bigger. Then one day, when it was decided that the jury for Simpson's trial should be taken to see the scene of the crime, the whole display was removed. It was supposed that the jurors shouldn't see that, though I didn't really understand why. It was said that it might somehow "bias" the jury. I thought it made a pretty good statement.
I was hoping the flowers, baskets, crosses, and other memorabilia would be saved and put back after the jury completed their tour, but I was told it all got trashed. This made me sad, but I noticed another display had begun soon afterward. In time, it too became pretty large.
It was early the following year that the trial was concluded. Not a single person I knew was happy about it. The killer pleaded guilty. The charges were reduced to second degree murder. Why? Because the killer was provoked by his victim's attempt to defend herself. As you can best believe, it seemed the whole town was outraged.
I was pretty upset myself, and was compelled to add a basket of flowers to the new display. It seemed to me that it was the Orange County Rape Crisis Center who took issue with this more than anyone else. There is now a permanant marker on the spot, and on a nearby tree, courtesy of the OCRCC. They have an office across the street from there, next door to Amity Methodist Church.
It is now 14 years later, and there was a renewed interest in this case when it was announced that Tony Simpson would be eligible for parole. It looks like he didn't get it. A recent Google search on the name "Kristin Lodge-Miller" didn't show much in results. I was disappointed I couldn't even find the old newspaper stories I've read before. But I did find two articles by Dennis Rogers with the News and Observer, that I thought were quite relevant. One is dated Dec. 11, 2002, and the other May 10, 2003. I have sent an e-mail to Dennis Rogers asking for permission to post them here, and I am still awaiting his reply.
My friend Joy works as a volunteer at the Rape Crisis Center, and I support her efforts whole heartedly. Violence against women is not just a women's issue to me, but a citizen's issue. I get the feeling there is a lesson to be learned here that we haven't learned yet.
Does anyone else feel that way?

Can someone help me find the original piece that a local paper did right after the verdict came out in the 1994 timeframe?
They did interviews with a couple of jurors, including one IBM employee who explained why they held out for 2nd degree murder.

Hi Keith
Glad you could come visit.
I believe that was in the Chapel Hill News, but it could be the Durham Morning Herald.
I've been looking for that myself, so if you find it, please come back and share it with us.

I wrote this post in September 2007. It is now March 2008. Here we have a new story by staff writer Ruth Sheehan with the News and Observer that is certainly worth checking out.
This story is unique in that it compares the cases of Kristin Lodge-Miller with Eve Carson. It is also the ONLY news story I've ever seen that includes a photo of her.

But there is one object that most observers have seen, yet few are aware of its existence. The name of the object is Collinder 70, a large open cluster, located around the belt of Orion. Collinder 70 includes all three belt stars: Mintaka (the Girdle), Alnilam (The string of Pearls) and Alnitak (the Belt). The cluster has a diameter of almost 3 degrees and consists of 100 stars or more. Most of them are of the 10th magnitude or brighter.

Pacific Fury beta
RR: unfinished
Now this is really cool - and also really rushed, but there is so much gameplay in it that rushed texturing is, for a beta, to make sure the thing works, understandable. You can get it from SLAM's
idrive account, along with the other maps he is working on.
Well, the textures are uninspired, the use of some clouds makes the whole map play as "laggy" - and on my first visit, hosting a server for SLAM, Fee, Alopex, and other notables, after a while my picture began the tilt from side to side terribly, at high speed - the scores etc stayed put, but the game picture was acting very strangely! Was this some ploy to bring sea-sickness into the game?
You spawn on the ship, which rushed across the ocean much the same way that our favourite
HoverCraft does - but this vessel has a minisub (or diving bell...) inside which you can get into, and be lowered into the ocean! It also has a teleporter taking you into the zeppelin that is skulking in the clouds. Climb the steps there, get into the plane's cockpit, and after a short delay you are launched, to go on a strafing run over the ship! Now, is that cool, or what?
The second version has done a lot of work on the submarine which the mini-sub takes you to (not all the way, but quickly and close enough to avoid drowning), which now has an actual working periscope, using mirrors! The view, even using a hypershot on alt fire, is tiny, but it is still cool... see our smaller screenshot below. And the plane's flightpath now ends with a crash into the ocean! If you haven't tried it yet, dive right into SLAM's idrive and treat yourself...
Well, inside a submarine is meant to be dark and red - but that bit just by the cursor is the view through the periscope!

Human Resources Management of E-Commerce
The increase in use of Internet among people all over the world has caused a major shift in lifestyle and buying pattern of consumers. In order to succeed, businesses' should be able to plan and adapt to rapid changes in the marketplace. An example of a company that failed to understand the digital revolution is Borders Bookstore. Borders filed bankruptcy because they did not plan for change and they struggled to create and maintain its online business. It lagged behind from establishing a viable online book business, and over expanded its brick and mortar stores while other book business such as amazon continued to read current trends in e-books and began scaling back. Borders also made a mistake by not investing enough in research and development to compete with other popular counterparts such as Amazon's kindle and other electronic books and devices (Boshman, Merced).
We can learn from Borders of the importance of forecasting future demand, based on current trends in the market. The bookstore industry is changing drastically and trends show increasing Internet sales. Bookstores such as the Bojangles' Book and Music Company struggle for market share in the e-business while trying to sustain traditional brick and mortar stores. Some industry trends according to a 2005 study done by the Book Industry Study Group say that trade book business will decline because people are spending less time reading and more time using other media such as the Internet (Rodriguez).
It is a good strategic move on the part of the CEO of Bojangles Book and Music Company (BBMC) to take the business onto the World Wide Web. This paper will provide an HR Strategy for the BBMC to shift their existing storefront business into an e-commerce operation.
The following is a SWOT Analysis of the current situation of BBMC. Strengths
The company currently has a large range of books and services. BBMC has been able to expand to different states successfully by sticking to their motto and providing a high level of customer service. BBMC has capacity to handle large operations, including the thirty stores and they have a high efficient distribution system. It has a great company culture, and has been able to provide local citizens with jobs (Fisher, Schoenfeldt, Shaw 89).
The company has come to a dead-end in terms of expanding, and has not thought of a strategic plan for dealing with competition. Profits have been dropping (Fisher, Schoenfeldt, Shaw 89).
The company has a unique combination of selling books as well as music that is unique than most booksellers who focus on solely selling books. Using the Internet will allow BBMC to target a larger audience and market. There is a possibility of selling more than books and music, selling a new line of accessories and gift items can be an option (Fisher, Schoenfeldt, Shaw 89).
There are already well-established companies like Amazon, which take a large portion of the market share. The new strategic plan to expand to the web might cause concern among employees in the brick and mortar stores, about having to lose their jobs. The company may face some resistance, and have to put forth new capital and investment in a time of declining profits to expand the company (Fisher, Schoenfeldt, Shaw 89).
Strategic Human Resources Plan
The strategic Human Resources Plan should involve using the "Strategic Best Fit" approach. This involves matching specific HR practices to the firm's overall business strategy (Fisher, Schoenfeldt, Shaw 49). Being in the bookstore business with a motto such as "You want it, we got – or we can get it fast" and its pride in customer service, it is clear that BBMC puts customers first. Management should have a clear vision of where they see the company going in the short and long term plan after expanding to the World Wide Web. By choosing to expand business to the World Wide Web, The BBMC Company should be ready to face...

Wednesday was our third BetterOff Show and Tell day this time hosted in London. Seven local authorities and housing associations from across the country joined us at The Club House in West London to hear about the latest progress with BetterOff Kirklees.
BetterOff is a new online platform that tackles the benefit and welfare process end-to-end; from assessing entitlement to benefits, guiding claimants through benefits applications and helping claimants into work.
Quick headlines of the day:
- This financial year, Kirklees Council have made a cashable saving of over £390,000 from its advice budget.
- Since the 15th October 2015, BetterOff Kirklees has had over 3000 unique visitors, recorded monetary gains of over £1.6million and over 10,000 users of the job search feature.
- Interested LAs/HAs facing similar welfare reform issues, heard and then saw about BetterOff; the why, how and the now;
- The intended inclusion of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction as a single claim form within BetterOff;
- The proposed addition of UC forms - with embedded guidance - within BetterOff and planned integration with DWP for online submission of all benefits claims;
- The plans around developing an 'advocate' approach to BetterOff, which would cement already positive cross organisational working and bring significant benefits to claimant and partners;
- BetterOff has helped to free up specialist advisor time in the customer contact centres, meaning they are able to see twice as many people a day and their time is spent more efficiently in helping those with more complex and vulnerable cases;
- BetterOff works with local partners, for example, Citizens Advice to allocate the support and advice to where it is needed most as well as seeing self-service and claimant empowerment increase.
If you are interested in attending any of our future events are would like to book a demonstration of BetterOff please email firstname.lastname@example.com
For a more detailed view, read on…
The 'Show 'n' Tell' day was a chance for LAs and HAs to talk to the people at Kirklees Council that led in the implementation of the platform, understand the background and the multi-partnership approach, as well as to have a demonstration of the technology. The day has an informal tone and as described by a member of the Kirklees team is really a day controlled by whatever the delegates; it's an opportunity for them to ask questions that are relevant to them. The talks for the day were led by Steve Bird, Head of Welfare and Exchequer Services at Kirklees Council, Steve Langrick, Head of Online, Channel Strategy and Development at Kirklees Council and Nick Whittingham, Chief Executive at Kirklees Citizens Advice & Law Centre. For this event we were also joined by Alison Blount, Head of Revenue and Benefits at Stockport Council, who will be the next local authority to go live with BetterOff at the end of April.
The Business Case
The presentation started with an explanation of the business case that supported BetterOff, and the reasons Kirklees Council believed it was the opportune time to implement a digital platform for the welfare and benefits process.
This began with a review of the last two-years and how the advice cuts have shaped the service Kirklees have today. When faced with the possibility of quite a dramatic reduction to the welfare budget Kirklees Council knew that it was time to change it's whole process. When beginning to plan how they would resolve the challenge there were four main goals that were kept centric to the overall solution which were:
The joining up of housing and benefits Protecting the most vulnerable Digitally transforming the service Continued high levels of monetary gain
In terms of savings, Kirklees Council has reported that within this financial year it will have made a cashable saving of over £390,000 from its advice budget. There was also a review of the most recent statistics since the launch date on the 15th October 2015 which included: Kirklees BetterOff has seen over 3000 unique visitors, monetary gains of over £1.6million and specialist advice requests drop by 50%. Although the product is still in soft launch phase these are already impressive results.
The Digital Approach
After the "why", conversation then moved onto the "what" and "how" of BetterOff, explaining the different elements of the platform, the innovation and how each area was crucial to keeping the benefit and welfare service delivering at the highest possible standard.
Before BetterOff was developed, a significant piece of analysis was done to identify the requirements needed for the platform. Kirklees identified three different claimant levels; 40% of which are able to self-serve, 30% which need some support and the remaining 30% that are considered complex or vulnerable cases that will still need face-to-face support from an advisor.
The key elements of BetterOff were then highlighted- which you can read more about here, - and the need for critical developments with the DWP around the electronic submission of forms.
Working in sight of DWP
As well as digital submission, there are plans to work with the DWP to integrate Universal Credit (UC) forms within BetterOff. As with the other forms already available in BetterOff, these would offer guidance and support including web chat and the ability for advisors to co-browse with claimants.
Future Plans - Local Benefits
One of the real beneficial uses of BetterOff is the ability to store a claimant's information during the process of completing a form. In working terms, this means that a qualified benefits advisor can work with the claimants on the parts of the form where their advice would be necessary, save the progress and then the claimant can either fill the rest of the form themselves or be assisted by a less specialised advisor. This key feature will ensure that qualified advisors time is being spent most efficiently.
The ability to save progress also means that even in vulnerable cases, an advisor can assist a claimant with a benefits form on BetterOff and store the information, saving time when it comes to reapplying for benefits. This is fundamental in assisting appeals. This feature teamed with the co-browse facility within BetterOff, underpins the Kirklees approach to digital service transformation.
After a run through of the technology led by the LookingLocal team, the talks began to round up the Kirklees BetterOff story with a view of the "now" in terms of the implementation and training of advisors.
Modern Service Delivery
BetterOff has an important role to play in the service Citizens Advice offer; all clients are different and, therefore, levels of supports needed vary. The advantage that BetterOff brings is that it allows the Citizen Advice service to provide the support and advice where it is needed most. Having 70% of claimants being able to self-serve and seek guidance from the built-in features of BetterOff, frees up advisor time and resources for the more complex and vulnerable cases.
BetterOff Kirklees is now live in two Citizens Advice contact centres, one in Dewsbury and one in Huddersfield. Claimants are able to self-serve on PC's and can still access an advisor if needed. Telephone and face-to-face advice is also still available for those complex and vulnerable cases and will remain in place. This self-serve process has already freed up resources resulting in customers being helped more quickly and advice and guidance being channelled more effectively. Shockingly positive results have been reported so far most crucially is the fact that advisors are being able to see twice as many people in a day; increased client satisfaction levels have been reported as a result.
Citizen Advice is finding that in cases where clients self-serve they are empowered and are therefore less likely to seek support in the future.
BetterOff beyond Kirklees
This was the first 'Show 'n' Tell' day that included a talk from another local authority that's currently implementing BetterOff; Alison Blount from Stockport Council rounded up the day by telling us how BetterOff will work in the wider transformation of the council.
Stockport is going through multiple changes throughout every department of the council, as many local authorities are. Due to the amount of cuts across multiple departments it's no longer about small tweaks that can save little amounts but time to change the whole local authority service in order to ensure that money is reinvested where it's needed most.
Stockport knew that it was going to transform its advice and benefits service and was going to invest in building its own digital platform. However, Stockport realised that Kirklees Council was already offering a comprehensive system liked the idea of collaborating with other councils, sharing knowledge and partners such as the DWP; it seemed the much more logical approach rather than starting from scratch.
So far BetterOff has been demonstrated to advisors at Stockport Council and has received positive feedback. Advisors like the fact that they can be involved in the development of the content and offer the same level of guidance they would normally give face-to-face but instead via the digital platform.
Stockport Council has its own plans on how it would like to evolve BetterOff, including the possibility of adding elements to the jobs journal that takes a wider picture of someone's circumstances than just job searching to give job centres a clearer idea of why someone maybe out of work. This is the beauty of BetterOff, it can be constantly developed upon and as each local authority decides to add elements, these then are available to all other council's using the product; a great co-operative approach.
Public Sector Sharing
Overall the day provided a great opportunity for LA's and HA's to come together over a challenge that we are all too familiar with. There are plans to further improve the features and functionality within the BetterOff product working with our partners throughout the UK. Development has begun surrounding the implementation of Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction form as well as a number of passported benefits into the BetterOff platform. We would love to hear your views and ideas on how this platform could work for your organisation.

"An Iconic Big Sur landmark!"
The bridge is "one of the most photographed features on the West Coast" because of its location along the scenic Central Coast of California, and has frequently been used in automobile commercials. The bridge has become a regional landmark and was used in the opening sequences of the television series Then Came Bronson, the films Play Misty for Me and The Sandpiper. The bridge was also in a first season episode of NBC's show Heroes ("Company Man"), even though the scene was placed in Texas. Bixby Creek Bridge, also known as Bixby Bridge, is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge in Big Sur, California. The bridge is located 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County along California Highway One. Prior to the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to the often impassable Old Coast Road that led 11 miles (18 km) inland. At its completion, the bridge was built under budget for $199,861 and was the longest concrete arch span at 320 feet (98 m) on the California State Highway System. Beginning in about 1855, travelers followed a very rough and dangerous track from Carmel south towards Big Sur. At Bixby Creek, the road turned 11 miles (18 km) inland and then led to the Post Ranch on the Rancho El Sur. The 30 miles (48 km) trip could take three days by wagon or stagecoach. The single-lane road was closed in winter when it became impassable. Coast residents would occasionally receive supplies via a hazardous landing by boat from Monterey or San Francisco. After it was built, the bridge was at times referred to as the Rainbow Bridge. This stems from a nearby resort, Rainbow Lodge, which was operated for a period of time by an Army Captain, Howard Sharpe and his wife, Frida. After lumbering came to an end, the Sharpes bought the ranch in the Bixby Creek Canyon in 1919. Sharpe built a dirt road from the lodge up the canyon to Bixby Landing and another road down to the beach at the mouth of Bixby Creek. He sold part of his land to the state to form part of the bridge right of way in 1930.
I had told my traveling companion that we were looking for a very movie star status bridge, the type of bridges that people drove their Lexus over for a car commercial with Morgan Freeman narrating the sunset scene. This bridge is that bridge. For a free photo opp. I enjoyed it a lot and so did the 10 other cars parked on the wee little space of earth off the windy high way road to take a shot. The sun was setting, Morgan Freeman, scratch that, Jeremy Irons was telling me the history of it being built in 1932 in my head and the scene was set. My not so Lexus car felt very luxury like driving cross that bad boy.
Bixby bridge is like something out of a dream! After about an hour or so of driving through gorgeous big sur coastline you get to this bridge! The picture doesn't do it justice as you can hike just below it and when you look over the edge realize just how high up it is! Its definitely something worth making a trip for!
Check travel from Monterey to Big Sur. I did see that they are working on a winding road that is built on TOP of the GIANT LANDSLIDE that occurred in the Spring of 2017. See my review saying you need to go through Paso Robles, then west to Hwy 1 to reach Big Sur. It is worth the drive.
Fill up with GAS before you head towards Hwy 1 along the coast where the price are very HIGH.
Be aware that Hwy 1 is CLOSED INDEFINATELY north of Big Sur since May 2017. There was a HUGE landslide that will take years to repair. You need to go to Paso Robles from Hwy 101, then take Hwy 46 West to access Hwy 1 North to Big Sur.
Gamers may recognize Bixby Canyon from Grand Theft Auto V.
Very scenic, however it does get extremely busy on the weekends. Parking is a challenge.
Bixby Creek Bridge is an historic bridge opened in 1932 and has been a Big Sur fixture ever since. It's also one of the world's most photographed bridges.
It was a wonderful scenery. Not too crowded
And it was refreshing to see. I highly recommend going to see the sunset as well.
So beautiful! There's a small parking area to pull over if there are too many cars on the side of the road. Just be careful walking across the road. I can't believe this kind of scenery exists in the US. The PCH is gorgeous!
This spot is hard to beat. Jack Kerouac fans listen up: this is where Jack wrote "Big Sur"! Next time I'd like to get down onto the beach for the full Kerouac experience. A beautiful place to be alive.

Is Bitcoin really a currency? Is it the future of international transactions? Is it a good investment? We get these questions often. If you strip away the sensational side stories around Bitcoin, you get a far less compelling story.
Bitcoin's best attraction is as an electronic means of payment, and in this vein could foreshadow how transactions are processed in the future.
Outside of its promise as a future payment system however, Bitcoin is a tough sell. Ironically, the advantages that supporters of Bitcoin tout also result in serious shortcomings. Bitcoin's lack of regulation has been on spectacular display with the recent loss of funds at the Mt. Gox exchange in Japan. There are certainly debates to be had regarding government oversight, but the complete absence of any authority, is a wide open invitation for fraud, tax evasion, and theft.
Bitcoin's other claim is that the system is designed so that after all coins are "mined" there will not be any more, thus keeping the currency safe from central bankers who may devalue the currency with a flood of supply. However, the limited supply of Bitcoins -- 21 million after all are mined, with 11 million already in circulation -- turns the currency into the digital equivalent of a metal-based currency system. Say all you want about central bankers' ability to conduct monetary policy, but all major economies decided long ago to abandon metals-based currencies due to the volatility of their economies under a fixed stock.
In that respect, Bitcoin has been shocking. For the last three years, Bitcoin's volatility has averaged 120%, while the typical G10 currency volatility has ranged from 7% to 16%. The last time currency markets experienced 120% volatility, was with the Argentine peso during that country's 2002 default.
So while Bitcoin holds promise as yet another innovation in payment systems, it cannot escape the basic laws of behavior and economics in two ways; the tendency to cheat in the absence of a watchdog, and the volatility that arises with a limited commodity.
My view: Bitcoin may be here to stay, but in its current form will be relegated to the world of illiquid, speculative investments, rather than a functional replacement for established currencies.

Cycloidal Massage
The Full-body wellbeing system
Cycloidal Vibration Technology (CVT) was serendipitously discovered in a Canadian coal mine in the 1930's. Curiously the workers using Wettlaufer's coal-sorting machine were reporting therapeutic side effects from leaning up against the machine during their breaks. Inspired by the claims of muscular and joint pain relief, the positive effects on the body were researched and the Cyclo-Ssage Massage Therapy System was developed.
Cycloidal Vibration relaxes muscles and is able to penetrate deep tissues and act on muscles that are normally hard to access by conventional forms of massage. Research into the effects of Cycloidal Vibration Technology have shown the therapy to release tension in striated muscle and maintain relaxation in the associated spasms for several hours after treatment, providing therapeutic relief and an improved quality of life.
How does Cycloidal Therapy Work?
Cycloidal Vibration produces a multi-directional, non-percussive action, which increases blood and lymphatic circulation by stimulating deep muscle activity. It is a non-invasive action allowing muscles to relax and circulation to be improved without aggravating any skeletal or joint problems.
Some Important implications from research are that Cycloidal Vibration Technology has a place in not only promoting muscle relaxation, but it is also able to achieve the same benefits of massage where massage would be too painful or inaccessible and it also supports the maintenance of flexibility during injury.
The Benefits of Infrared Therapy
Infrared Heat Therapy effectively helps to increase blood circulation without putting strain on the heart and it increases the levels of oxygen and white cells in the blood. It also stimulates the production of collagen (a building block for human tissue) in the body and helps to rid the body of toxins. This will result in a stronger immune system, better cardiovascular health, and a faster ability to heal from soft tissue injuries such as tears, pulls and sprains.
Physical and Mental Well-being
One in five people suffer from workplace stress, with half a million people reporting they have become ill as a result. Massage can play a vital role in a health and wellbeing routine and is an excellent way to relieve stress both mentally and physically. The Cyclo-ssage System is a cost effective and easy way to provide massage.
The Cyclo-ssage System is an excellent tool to encourage and engage people in their personal well-being, promoting health in a positive and rewarding way. A major benefit of massage is the relief from pain due to musculoskeletal injuries and other causes. Massage also stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's 'feel good' chemicals. These chemicals increase relaxation and help reduce 'stress chemicals' such as cortisol and noradrenaline.
Our physical and mental well-being are very closely linked; massage can even help reduce high blood pressure and heart rate, relieve anxiety and improve sleep.
This is a very safe treatment, it is non-invasive and deeply relaxing. You don't need to remove your clothes and it has many benefits as well as easing muscle spasm, it alleviates pain associated with the secondary symptoms of many arthritis and joint mobility problems, as well as helping to promote healing after injury and speed up recovery after strenuous exercise.
The Cycloidal Massage Therapy System has been tested with thermal imagery to show the physical improvement of blood flow to all tissues after just one fifteen minute treatment.
Conditions that are alleviated with Cycloidal Massage
General aches and pains, Raised blood pressure, Stress and anxiety, Neck or shoulder ache, Arthritis or joint stiffness, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Poor lymphatic circulation or oedema, Degenerative joint disease, Sleep deprivation, Upper or lower back pain, Headaches or migraine, Circulation or respiratory problems, Sciatica or muscle spasms, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia or ME, Digestive or abdominal problems, Muscular dis trophy, Lack of energy or chronic fatigue and Sport injuries.
I offer my pain relief therapies in Hamble-le-Rice, Swanwick, Bursledon, Locks Heath, Titchfield, Whiteley, Fareham, Portsmouth, Southampton and other surrounding Hampshire villages.

BTC Possible Short Term Bull/Bear Targets?
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD Bitcoin / Dolar
Dilihat 638 kali
I am neutral at the moment but still consider this to be a Bull Market with short term weakness....not as some would have you believe going to $100. It is still Buil market long term because the Orange Ichimoku Line is still above the cloud and out of price until it is broke? The momentum is bearish because of the recent events and the possible formation of a Large Cup, however this is is subjective and is likely to be a Falling Wedge caused by recent lows of $540 & $465 which will have to be resolved by breaking the recent downtrend line.
Komen: This bear target looks unlikely so probably more sideways on the cards?
Idea Berkaitan
Possible Long Term Outlook?
That is a very aggresive price drop you have here. We have already dropped alot since the peak in june. I would surprised if it keeps going for much longer.
zippy1day veryevilone
You are probably right, I would wonder what sort of bottom was being sought to go below $465 but I have seen EW projections in that area which I don't fully understand? With such an aggressive fall at $540 & $465 the turnaround away from the falling wedge would have to be significant!
If it breaks the $566.71 level. Then we have a confirmed downtrend :(
zippy1day sangli
It broke but like to see your reason why this level?
sangli zippy1day
I use SMA (K) lines as final supports in my analysis. It broke the FMA (T) which I consider as initial supports. So, if it breaks both supports, I'm quite wary. I'm still new to this. Still learning.

I'm such a sucker for a face mask. They feel luxurious, but they also pack a powerful punch of skincare benefits in one concentrated treatment. Recently, I tried the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Rescue Mask. This product retails at Sephora for $62 (with a mini version available for $25).
I loved this mask! According to its product description, it's supposed to help with: dullness, rough texture, uneven tone, dryness, and congestion. I can honestly say that it does what it claims. Using this mask a few times a week has definitely improved the overall state of my skin. My acne was reduced and my skin looked smoother for sure! It's definitely worth the price. It's also packed with some great skincare ingredients like seaweed, red algae, and lotus flower. I can't believe that a mask so gentle on the skin can give such great results too. I highly recommend this one!
Have you tried this one or do you have a face mask that's great for acne? Be sure to let me know in the comment section!
Thanks for reading!
