This post is going to be about my own thoughts and opinions on the 2017 season in Moto2. So far there were just two race weekends but I feel an urgent need to write something. I just want to write about my feelings about the start of the new season. I would like to reveal who did surprise me, who made me happy or also who disappointed me.
Zarco, Folger, Rins and Lowes have come to MotoGP. So when I was thinking about the potential title contenders, three names came to my mind immediately. These names were: Franco Morbidelli, Takaaki Nakagami, Thomas Lüthi. When you look at the results so far you can say I was pretty right about it. Of course, it's still just the start of the season and anything can happen in the upcoming months. But somehow I felt these three would play the most importnat role in the season. And to be honest, I would feel pretty happy if I was right about it. It just would be the proof that I follow motorbikes races for a long time already and know it a lot :-D
Before the season I also predicted that Franco Morbidelli would do the Brad Binder Moto3 2016 style in 2017. I predicted that when he gets the victory once then he will keep winning and no one else would stop him. Well, he's already won two races so maybe I was right with that prediction?
And honestly it would be amazing if he were able to keep it. Of course, I don't expect 19 victories, that's for sure that some bad luck also would come. But it just would be amazing if he keeps this great form until the end of the season. I love this man. In Argentina, when Márquez was chasing him, Franco looked so calmly and that everything was in his hands. The way how he controlled his bike was really masterly.
I am really very happy for Franco that he started the season in such an amazing way. And I will keep my fingers crossed for him the whole season. After my favourite Zarco left Moto2 now I have another rider who I want to follow very closely. I haven't met him so far so I hope this year I will be lucky enough to take a picture with him :-D
I know it's too early to say something like this but I really can imagine that Franco would go to MotoGP next year. I can imagine him going to (or better to say stay in) Marc VDS team to replace Rabat maybe. Or to go to race on the second bike for LCR. But these are just my current thoughts, this is what I just wonder about.
Well, as I've said I predicted also Nakagami and Lüthi to be the riders who should fight for the title. And after the Qatar race these together with Morbidelli where exactly the three riders on the podium! So I was proud of myself :-D
But Thomas Lüthi was on podium also in Argentina so maybe he is the dark horse of the Championship. We can't know now. Time will tell. But honestly, I am not his biggest fan so I hope there will be some other riders battling for top.
Takaaki Nakagami unfortunately crashed in Argentina so now he is 6th the the overall standing in Moto2.
Special part of this post is about Miguel Oliveira. Oh dear, how proud I am of him! I've already mentioned it in my Moto3 post that I've been his fan for some years already. Last year it wasn't ideal. It was his debut season in Moto2 and with Leopard team it somehow didn't work very well. And also unfortunately he was injured and skipped part of the second part of the season.
So when I read that he's going to Ajo team I was so happy. He was coming back to my beloved team. Mega news for me. But I was also a little bit worried about it because the Ajo team announced that would go for KTM bike (with Honda engine in it of course) and their name would be same as in Moto3 – Red Bull KTM Ajo. I was really worried how that KTM bike would work. But oh my god! Miguel was fighting for podium already in their first ever race in Qatar! I couldn't believe my own eyes. He ended as P4 but still it was an amazing result and I was so happy for the team. In Argentina it was even better. He took his first ever pole position. With Franco behind him so it was like the seventh heaven for me :-D Miguel was doing great job in the race and finished 2nd. I was so happy and proud of him. Franco won that race so it was double happiness for me!
I really enjoy these times because it doesn't happen very often to me that my favourite riders are on the podium together. I've always been big fan of Moto3 but so far it seems like this year that Moto2 will be the category I will follow the most.
I am also very happy for Lorenzo Baldassarri, my another favourite rider. P8 in Qatar and very good P4 in Argentina, these are really good results. He is 4th in the Championship standing and this is very good too. The season is long and I hope he will get some podium finishes. It would be nice.
I am also very happy for Xavi Vierge. I have been supporting him for the third year already. He is 5th in the Championship standing! Fifth! That's mega. Really. I'm so proud of him. P9 in Qatar and P5 in Argentina, I was so happy to see that and I hope it will continue like that also in the upcoming races.
Luca Marini has been also doing good job. Although he doesn't belong to my favourite riders (but in the same time I have to admit that I don't mind him) I need to mention him in this post. Because so far he was 6th and 12th in the races and these are some good places.
I still somehow tend to underestimate Alex Márquez. And I even don't know why. But somehow I don't believe he would be able to fight maybe for the title. Really I don't know where these feelings are coming from. In Qatar he was 5th which was really great start to the season for him. And in Argentina he was equal rival to Franco. But somehow I still didn't believe Alex would be on the podium. Okay, now I reveal it. Before the race I had a strange feeling that he would crash. But how the race was going, he was doing so well that I started to believe he could finish it and got double for the team. I even forgot my prediction. And then it happened. A crash. I really don't know what is it, if I have some special ability to predict it or what but it's not the first time this happened to me (and then later it happened to me in MotoGP too when I predicted his brother would crash too). So I am sorry for him that I predicted something that cruel to him.
Well, I also should say something about my another hero. Sandro Cortese. Last season was the most difficult one for him in his career. And I really hope that the worst is behind him and good luck is coming back. The season 2017 didn't start very well for him because he was only 22nd in Qatar and I was very disappointed and sad from it. But in Argentina he did fight and it was P8! And that made me happy. I hope from now on it's really getting better and better. I would love to see him up there regularly.
I also realized (already in the second part of last season) that I started to support Marcel Schrötter. But so far I am a little bit confused from his results but somehow I expected something more from him, not P16 and P11. Yes, these are good results but I can't help, I expected top 10 positions.
Well, Leopard team who is Kiefer Racing from this season again also hasn't convinced me. I was happy to read that Dominique Aegerter was coming there and would be Danny Kent's team mate. They both are my favourite riders. But it's not ideal. At least to me it seems so. Dominique was 11th and 14th, Danny was 13th and in Argentina he didn't finish the race. Yes, they both scored some points but I hoped for better results.
Well, I write to (almost) everybody that I expected better results. But yeah I know, the class is very competitive this year, there are so many great riders. And there are lots of them I like and support and would love to see them doing well.
Who is the biggest disappointment for me so far, it's Yonny Hernández. I really believed he could do very well in this class but so far it's bad. And it's a big shame. I would love to see him up there fighting for top positions.
Now I would like to write a few lines about the rookies. This season there are quite a lot of them. And so far Francesco Bagnaia is the best one from them. Which is great to see as I am his fan. He was 12th in Qatar and 7th in Argentina which are good results and I hope and believe in a progress during the season.
Brad Binder, the Moto3 2016 World Champion, had very hard start to the year. He is my big favourite (you know Ajo boy), last year me and my friends made him happy in Brno GP when we gave him a gift to his birthday (but that's for another blog post). He is such a nice person. But before this season in the pre-season test he broke his arm. He had to skip the other tests. In Qatar it wasn't very easy for him, he also had some troubles with his bike and finished only 20th. Not where the Moto3 Champion should be. But in Argentina he did very brave race and was 9th. But the team later revealed that Brad was racing with pain in his arm. After some scans it was announced that the plate in his arm moved and that there were some other problems so he had to undergo another surgery. He will have to skip the next round in USA for sure and it's still not clear if it all will be fine enough for the Spanish round in Jerez in 3 weeks. Poor him. I'm so sorry for him. But never stop believing in him. I wish him speedy recovery and to come back in a strong shape.
Jorge Navarro is another rookie there. Well, to be honest I didn't expect anything from him. And so far I knew why I thought it. He didn't finish the race in Qatar and he was 15th in Argentina.
But if anybody surprises me, then it's Fabio Quartararo. Years ago there were comments that he would be the new Márquez, future Champion etc. But in Moto3 he wasn't as good as lots of people expected. But now in Moto2 it seems like it could be his category. He was 7th in Qatar, yeah he didn't finish the race in Argentina but was showing a good performance there. So maybe he's the one to watch out. Although I have to admit he's not my favourite.
Axel Bassani did a surprising move (for me) from the Supersport category to Moto2. But for me he's a big talent and I am curious about him. He didn't take part in the season opener in Qatar but he was ready for the race in Argentina. It was only P25 but I believe better results will come soon.
Other rookies there are Andrea Locatelli, Khairul Idham Pawi and Stefano Manzi but all these have zero points so far. With Pawi we have to wait for some wet race you know :-D
Iker Lecuona is also considered to be the rookie although he did some races already in the second part of last season. But this season should be his first full. Unfortunately he is seriously injured and I have no idea when and if he comes back. When I saw what happened to him I was a bit scared. I really hope everything goes well. I wish him all the best!
Well, there probably would be much more to talk about but I think it's all for now. Let's leave something for the other posts to the future :-D

Chondrules, igneous objects of ∼1 mm in diameter, formed in the earliest solar system via a transient heating event, are divided into two types: main (type I, FeO-poor) and minor (type II, FeO-rich). Using various chondritic materials for different redox conditions and grain sizes, chondrule reproduction experiments were carried out at IW-2 to IW-3.8, with cooling rates mainly ∼100°C/h, with peak temperatures mainly at 1450 °C, and mainly at 100 Pa in a Knudsen cell providing near chemical equilibrium between the charge and the surrounding gas at the peak temperatures. Vapor pressures in the capsule were controlled using solid buffers. After and during the significant evaporation of the iron component from the metallic iron-poor starting materials in near equilibrium, crystallization occurred. This resulted in the formation of a product similar to the type I chondrules. Dusty olivine grains occurred in charges that had precursor type II chondrules containing coarse ferroan olivine, but such grains are not common in type I chondrules. Therefore fine-grained ferroan matrices rather than type II chondrules are main precursor for type I chondrules. The type I chondrules would have evolved via evaporation and condensation in the similar conditions to the present experimental system. Residual gas, which escaped in experiments, could have condensed to form matrices, leading to complementary compositions. Clusters of matrices and primordial chondrules could have been recycled to form main-generation chondrules originated from the shock heating.

Hon. Rita Orji a member of the Federal House of Representatives on Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform, representing Ajeromi Ifelodun federal constituency, has decried some local politicians in her constituency who allegedly play with lives of individuals.
The lawmaker expressed her worries over development at the flag off of reconstruction work on the dilapidated Otto Wharf link road on Saturday July 1st, as the APC led Lagos State Government commends Julius Berger's choice of the axis as his Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
According to the lawmaker,she took up the case and forwarded a letter to the Julius Berger Construction Company headquarters in Abuja dated June 12,consequent upon which the harrow head of the company flew down to ascertain the state of the road and directed the Lagos end to do the needful to ameliorate the sufferings of the masses commuting in and around the axis.
"At least Otto Wharf will now be motorable,having been a deadly zone in time past,we record rape cases,accident,robbery different forms of crimes are being committed daily on the road,I passed by that road to locate my constituency office at 51 Kirikiri,but cannot drive through that place due to the deplorable state,how then do we access Ajeromi,Ifelodun?
"These are the two major roads that can bring you in when you take Otto Wharf for instance at a junction to your left it leads you to Ojo road from where you can access Tunnel Radiri,Amukoko via Badia- Ijora and eventually Western Avenue, so prolific and nice but under gridlock,the effect of which is on the Federal road, Apapa Oshodi Expressway.
"Otto Wharf is not a federal but state road,the situation became so bad and the people reported to their Representative asking for assistance, so I swung into action,seeing that it was not reflected in the 2017 budget of the state.
"While the Governor is trying on some other areas,I felt I have to use my connection to effect a change and complement the government's efforts in Ajeromi Ifelodun,that is what I have done.
ALSO SEE: Otto Wharf dilapidated road, respite on the way says Hon. Rita Orji
The major work of any government is to protect lives,I paid to get medical care for the girls raped there December last year,motorbikes were forcefully taken from their owners along that same axis,I have also had to pay for the removal of bullets from an okada riders who was shot by robbers.
However, the Lagos State Government has issued a statement commending construction giant Julius Berger Plc, "for choosing to rehabilitate the Otto-Wharf road within Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Council Development Area as a corporate social responsibility project.
"What Julius Berger has elected to do is commendable especially given the fact that they have not been awarded any contract on the road. This CSR effort will at least make this Federal road passable pending the time that a comprehensive reconstruction of the road will be awarded," the statement said.

And a dreary Monday at that. Got my gym on today, biked 9 miles in 32 minutes, not too shabby! Didn't have a lot of time at the gym today, due to work, doc appointments and life in general, so cut it a little short. Planning a long day tomorrow including a run, some bike, and core work. Also got 40 girly push-ups in, so a pretty good day.
Tomorrow is the dreaded weigh in day, but I think I will do well. I was able to fit into a pair of jeans over the weekend that I wasn't able to fit in a month ago, so I know I have at least lost some inches! Hope the scale gives me a little love tomorrow!

Many people get terrified of public speaking. Once you learn some helpful tips that make the process less intimidating, you may find that public speaking is rather empowering. Read this article to learn more.
You cannot speak in public and believe that people will automatically follow what you are saying. It's your job to make your speech appealing so that you can earn and keep their attention. This performance requires working hard for your desired results.
Your audience will not remain attentive unless you work to keep them listening. You need to make an effort to get and keep their attention. Your speech is a performance, you have to make people want to listen.
You should know your speech by heart. After you have committed the speech to memory, now is the time you want to perfect your delivery. Once you have the speech memorized, you can ad lib once you are on the stage.
Preparation is important when you give a speech. Get everything you want to share in your speech down well. Back up your words with thorough research. Put your thoughts down on paper. Keep practicing your words until they are embedded in your memory. Being prepared will boost your confidence while delivering your speech.
Know as much about your material as possible. Even when you commit your speech to memory, knowing jokes, facts and figures with regard to the topic is always helpful. Use them judiciously when you feel your audience is receptive. You can use them to answer questions too.
Make sure to understand what you are saying. While you will probably practice beforehand to memorize it, you sill need to know any data or facts that you could be asked about that are related to your speech. Work them in when you can to see how your audience reacts. Your thorough knowledge about the subject is also great in the Q and A that follows up the speech.
While delivering your speech, look at your audience. Don't allow anything to distract you, no matter what may be going on around the room or auditorium. Your goal is to make believers out of your audience, and to do this, you must give them your full attention.
When making a speech, know the concepts of your topics to start with. Have a broad understanding of the topic, so you can cover it from every angle. Write down bullet points of everything you want to cover, and be clear and concise so that you can refer to it as needed during your speech. This will pay off during the question and answer session.
Practice makes perfect. This will allow you time to tweak the speech if needed. Be sure to practice your pace and breathing. Insert spaces into your speech that allow for interruptions, such as applause. When you can, rehearse in the actual space where you will speak.
Tell a story that is true to your audience. Before you speak outline the story. There should be a beginning, middle and an end to communicate your ideas. Your story should be genuine and your words should be natural and authentic.
Know who you're speaking to. If you can, it would be good if you could find out who will be attending. Greet people as they enter and chit chat with the crowd before your speech. Include some of the people in your speech, and this will give it a much more friendly tone.
Become familiar with the hall or room where you will be giving your public speech. See if you can tell how sound travels without a microphone. Use the equipment to see how it works. Visual aids can be very important in your speech. Find out what eye contact range you should have.
Tell a true story if you want to become an effective public speaker. Make sure to outline your speech. It should have a beginning, middle, and ending that is clear so that you get your ideas out better. Your story should be based upon a real event, as this will help ensure that your words are natural and authentic.
Deep Breathing
Become familiar with the venue in which you will make your speech. How far will your voice carry or is there a microphone? Get a better feel by using equipment. Visual aids can be very important in your speech. Get an idea of how much range of eye contact you need to make.
Practice some deep breathing to help you through your speech. Doing some deep breathing and full exhalation prior to speaking helps calm you down. First, inhale and hold it for 5 seconds. Then slowly exhale for about 5 seconds. Repeat this until you feel your breathing and heart rate calm down.
Practice really does make perfect. Try practicing before a mirror or recording your speech to revise and spot areas in need of improvement. The best way to improve your speech is to practice with family members and friends. They are capable of providing you with constructive criticism.
No matter what the occasion for giving a speech, dress to impress. If you look and feel sharply dressed, your speech will reflect it. Men should wear a tie since this accessory draws the focus of the crowd to the face of the person speaking.
Make sure you look good, even if the talk is an informal one. Looking sharp can give off a confident image. Men should wear a tie since this accessory draws the focus of the crowd to the face of the person speaking.
Bring the audience to your side, and then begin speaking. Smile towards them when you enter. Shake a few hands if you can. Presenting yourself in a positive light before your speech prepares the audience to listen to you with interest.
Avoid alcohol before you deliver your speech. While it can seem like a great confidence booster, it's not. There is nothing more frightening than being on stage in front of people and forgetting your words because of alchol intake.
Prepare your speech by practicing it daily. This will give you confidence because you are very familiar with the material. Even if you already have the speech committed to memory, it is important that any notes you have are brought to the podium. This helps you quickly get back on track if you lose your train of thought during the speech.
Make the audience like you before you give your speech. If possible, meet some of them prior to your speech. Your audience is sure to show great interest if you have a good attitude.
Continue to practice your speech so that you are at ease with it. Practice in front of a mirror where you can try using various hand gestures and facial expressions to help make your points. Ask those closest to you to listen to your presentation as well. They can help you make improvements to the content and delivery of your remarks.
Make people remember the speech by having a memorable ending. While some parts are important in a speech, the ending is usually what is most remembered. If you end on a boring note, your speech will be remembered as boring.
Try using note cards if you can. While it it good to memorize your speech, a hard copy can come in handy. You don't have to have the speech in its entirety before you as you stand at the podium, but your key points should at least be jotted down.
Strong, confident voices are key when it comes to addressing large groups. Take a bottle of water with you to the podium. Don't drink soda pop or milk products the day you speak. These drinks tend to thicken saliva and cause more mucous to be produced. Drink tea before giving a speech.
But, don't visualize anything that is too distracting. They should simply enhance your words. They shouldn't overwhelm your message. Use quality aids to help you make key points. Make them colorful and pleasing to the eye while not distracting listeners from paying attention to what you are saying.
Put yourself in the right frame of mind. It is okay if you are feeling nervous. Everyone feels this way before a speech. But, you need to stop yourself from thinking negative thoughts. Negative thinking can ruin your speech. Think positively and you will do well.
Avoid making people wait until you finish your speech before they can pose questions. They might forget what is on their mind. People will appreciate having a chance to get answers to their questions as they arise; so let them do just that.
Start off each speech with a story in order to connect with the audience. You can use something personal to you or a popular news story. Instilling some human elements to your speech helps you connect to audience emotion and empathy. When developing your narrative, steer clear of controversial or offensive scenarios.
Audience Connect
Always know the audience you're speaking to before giving a speech. Every audience wants something different. Colleagues would like to learn from your speech. Family and friends will likely want to be entertained. Regardless of the composition of the audience, be sure to provide them with what they expect.
Begin with a story to help your audience connect with you. This story can be hypothetical, a news story, or a personal experience. Adding a personal story will help your audience connect with you. Avoid saying anything that could be construed as offensive.
If you find yourself nervous prior to a speech, just try to envision that you are someone within the audience. Would you laugh a speaker who makes a mistake? Would you suddenly assume they were a horrible speaker because of a simple mistake? If you make a mistake, it is not a big deal and you are your biggest critic.
Speaking in public is feared by many. But in reality there's a lot of ways to boost your abilities pretty quickly. Use the tips you've just read, and see how easily you improve your public speaking skills.
Try to avoid announcing your nervousness to the audience during your speech. Confessing that you are nervous will make your audience lose confidence in you. Lots of times, the speaker believes the audience knows that they're nervous, but this isn't usually the case. Try to give off a very confident image.

Support Music Education
I support music education since it has performed an important role within my existence. I'd very hard behavior challenges growing up. I had been defiant. I had been eliminated from three schools and it was put in the hospital three occasions due to mental, emotional and behavior challenges. I had been identified with depression, ocd, along with a behavior disorder.
In the finish of tenth grade, my defiance what food was in its peak and led to my third expulsion from soccer practice. Just like a defiant child, I told my parents that I wasn't returning to college unless of course they found a means that i can take part in the drums more throughout the college day.
Days later, my mother discovered the New York Senior High School for that Arts. I had been recognized and existence transformed for me personally completely. My grades increased, my behavior enhanced, and that i discovered my mission in existence. This is the way I gained the advantages of music education. I recall my adolescence as a time period of existence-altering transformation. Today I'm honored to mentor musically-minded teens around the faculty in the New York Senior High School for that Arts.
Now i'm an expert drummer and that i love my job. I'm happy, healthy, and i'm in charge of my very own behavior. Rather than defiance, I have found positive methods to express myself. Like everybody, I are afflicted by periodic stress. After I sit behind my drums and play, I experience relief, emotional expression, along with a wonderful connection with others.
Music education is very advantageous for kids and grown ups. Should you type "advantages of music education" right into a internet search engine you'll uncover a lot of research done around the results music education is wearing people. The very best-known advantages of music education are enhanced Sitting scores, literacy, and social abilities.
One famous study ended by Profiles of Sitting and Achievement Applicants, The School Board, 1998. The scientists who carried out this research came to the conclusion that students who take part in music score greater around the Sitting. One other popular Sitting study demonstrated that students who carried out music obtained 57 points greater around the verbal and 41 points greater around the math, than individuals who weren't musical. Students taking music appreciation classes score 63 points greater around the verbal and 44 points greater around the math, in comparison to students that do not have fun playing the arts.
Although a lot of the study concentrates on children, you will find benefits of music education for grown ups. Based on research made by the American Music Conference in1998, upon the market grown ups who required keyboard classes reported decreased anxiety, decreased depression, and decreased loneliness when in comparison to some control group. I have faith that music education is equally as essential for grown ups because it is for kids.

If the crises did not destroy you, it makes you a stronger person, aware of the meaning of life and seeking more success, and that's what I am living now. In 2015, four years after outbreak of the Syrian revolution, and due to the escalating brutality of Al-Assad regime I was -as a civilian activist- in a personal danger and was forced to leave my work and MBA study and to flee with my family like millions of Syrians.
In October 2015 we arrived to Germany as refugees, then we were granted the residency in February 2016. Immediately I started to think about my future prospects in this land, and I recognized, that building my future career in Germany isn't as simple as I expected! In fact, in addition to the work experience and the perfect language skills, the excellent education is my pass ticket to the tough German job market! Therefore, and beside to learning the German language, I decided to start again a new MBA journey. First of all I was worried about overcoming the financial obstacles! But with a full scholarship from Frankfurt School the dream became true and I took my first big step in Germany, this scholarship was the most prominent event in my educational and professional career.
Programme value and Frankfurt School's value
As soon as the classes began, I started to recognize the wide differences between the teaching styles at Frankfurt School and the institutes where I studied in Syria. For instance, in Frankfurt School we need to be well prepared before the classes with a lot of pre-reading material and case studies. In-class discussions and the group projects expanded my skills and added a lot to my knowledge. Additionally, the part-time MBA at Frankfurt School offers many valuable add-ons. For instance, the boardrooms, executive talks, career-services workshops, job fairs, and many other events which organized by the Frankfurt school, add a great value to the programme and open many doors for us.
Frankfurt School Support
If you are a FS student you don't only get support as part of the group, but also individually. Programme Director Prof. Löchel, programme coordinators, and the career-service team are always keen to solve every problem and to offer the extreme support on both class and personal levels. Personally, I had the privilege to be one of Frankfurt school students when I was one of the success stories at Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the most famous newspapers in Germany. More than that, with the support and nomination from the school I had the great honour to receive the 'Outstanding Migrant of the Year in Frankfurt City' prize in 2017, but the great honour was also to represent the Frankfurt School and to feel the impact of belonging to such a prestigious institute!
Professional and Cultural Diversity and the Social Life of the Part Time Programme's Students
The candidates of the part-time MBA programme at Frankfurt School are experienced and self-motivated professionals, working in different industries like financial services, banking, business consultancy, engineering, automotive, and many others. They bring great experiences and help each other to master their existing skills and to win many new ones. For instance, working with a team of young talented consultants from Deloitte, or developing engineers from Airbus, Continental, and Opel simply changed my way of thinking.
On the social side, despite we meet each other once every month or two during the weekends' classes, we built strong friendships and we are always keen to enjoy every moment we share in or out of the class. We are 32 students coming from 11 different countries and diverse cultures, many students are living away from Frankfurt and some of them out of Germany. However, this diversity and far distances increased the vitality of our relationships and enriched our social experiences.
Now, when I look back to the harsh days which I experienced in Syria and the moments when I arrived Germany, everything seems to be a dream! I saw our country being destroyed and I survived in many times of the inevitable death. I thought that I will never have a normal live again! However, I didn't give up; I gathered myself, set my goals and struggled to make them real. Now I am proud to be one of Frankfurt School's candidates, satisfied with my job in Munich, and happy in my personal life with my sweet small family. Things that wouldn't be achievable without the support of Frankfurt School and the geniality of the German people! I believe that one day I will employ all of this success in rebuilding the free Syria.

09 Nov Brand storytelling
By Andrew MacKenzie
Consumers are actively seeking out brands who have a story to tell; they need to believe in and immerse themselves in something more significant than a rational brand proposition. Why? When we look at traditional advertising channels, there are some alarming concerns for brands. Only 23% of consumers trust television advertising, and just one in five consumers trust adverts in magazines and on the radio, and, 79% of consumers believe that brands should be more genuinecolumn, i.e. tell their story.
What difference will it make to brands that embrace storytelling then? More than 50% of consumers feel it is essential to be told why they should care about a brand, and most consumers want to know the history and unique details a brand may have.
Organisations that provide customer-centric content also make consumers feel like they are interested in building a relationship with them, with 90% of consumers finding custom content useful. When a brand successfully translates its identity and promise into meaningful, engaging content, it impacts the relationship the consumer has with the brand. This engaging content can transform transactions into experiences, and connect brands and consumers on common ground or interest. These stories are often born out of how a company was established, what it believes in, an iconic founder, or perhaps even a unique way of doing things.
There are many stories of a company whose legacy started in a garage, with a little hard work and determination turning them into billion-dollar enterprises with global recognition, Harley Davidson, Apple and IBM to name a few. There is something about these back stories that draws an emotional connection. I work for an advertising agency, and I have always been captivated by our story. Our chairman sold two cows to buy the first computer that started our agency in the early nineties. A story of hope, of possibility, realised, of vision and bravery, and in a way, these characteristics still form the bedrock of who we are and how we do things today.
What story does your brand have to tell?


text: Today, it is popular to believe that living together before marriage increases the likelihood of success in a future marriage. In the USA, "the majority of young adults in their 20's will live with a romantic partner at least once, and more than half of all marriages will be preceded by cohabitation." However scientific research points to just the opposite! Studies show, "Couples who cohabit before marriage (and especially before an engagement or an otherwise clear commitment) tend to be less satisfied with their marriage—and more likely to divorce—than couples who do not. These negative outcomes are called the cohabitation effect." One reason for the failure of cohabitation is that the "standards" that individuals place on their cohabiting partner are usually far lower than for a future mate (New York Times, April 14, 2012). In the light of modern research, the biblical commandment forbidding adultery (sex outside of marriage—Exodus 20:14) and the New Testament condemnation of fornication (sex before marriage—1 Corinthians 6:18) become much more significant. While popular opinion tends to view these biblical instructions as antiquated and confining, the God of the Bible said that following these instructions would bring blessings (see Deuteronomy 28:1-14). God knew that cohabitation before marriage would bring heartaches and problems, and that is why He inspired instructions against it. For more information on this vital topic see our free booklet, God's Plan for a Happy Marriage.—Scott Winnail

Every owner of a website wants success. With any luck, your SEO can boost your results on your site so that it can show up on the front pages of the major search engines. However, you must understand SEO in order to implement it well. Check out this article for some great tips on SEO.
If you want your site to achieve high rankings, you must make your content more spider-friendly. There are always spiders going through your content, searching for various keywords, and they need to know how to get to all the pages on your site. A well-organized site map is a tool the spider can use to understand your website.
Look at source codes found on the websites of your competition. That way, you will be able to determine the way they use SEO for their site and the keywords they find valuable. While you might not wish to imitate their methods, this bit of sleuthing can make you think of other keywords and things to try.
A domain name should be memorable and linked directly to the products or services you are marketing. Having a domain name that's simple to say and easy to remember will cause people to better be able to trace your content from networking sites like Youtube directly to your specific website.
Use product feeds to broaden your customer base, increase traffic, and enhance your online presence. The feeds will actually list different details about services and products, like images, as well as prices and descriptions. Submit these to comparisons sites for shoppers as well as to search engines. It is also possible for customers to use a feed reader to establish a subscription to your feed.
You should sell yourself to others as a specialist in your field. This is an excellent strategy for maximizing profits. Make a website for your particular niche, and make sure to search engine optimize it to target customers interested in that niche. Get feedback from your customers regarding their preferences. This will help you determine the most successful products and services to offer.
One effective technique for SEO is to start a blog related to your website. Blogs are a good way to get a high ranking. Search engine robots love blogs because they are constantly updated with new content. Search engines will respond to backlinks by bringing more visitors.
Site Map
Site maps can be the lynch pin in driving your rankings with the search engines. A site map makes it easier for the spiders to understand your website. If you have a large website, you might want to break your site map into multiple sections. In general, try not to have more than 100 links on each map.
Include quality keywords on your page's URL. If your URL has symbols or numbers in it that people won't seek out, you won't get that great of search engine ranking results. When you use relevant keywords, your site traffic will improve.
To garner higher search rankings for your site, understand the benefits and uses of social media and use these free sites to get noticed. You may have heard of Twitter and Facebook, but there are other players in the game as well. There are a large number of social networking sites out there, and some of them are geared toward certain topics. Try to find ones that apply to your own business.
Research possible keywords first. You should determine what the most effective keywords to incorporate into your content and titles will be. Your keywords research will help you ascertain what search words and phrases are being entered by your prospective customers as they look online for products or services like yours. Highlight these items throughout your site to rise in the rankings of the major engines.
Search Engines
Some owners of websites fail to proofread their content. You should carefully read all the text on your site to make sure that it is logical and error free, so your visitors and search engines can easily understand it. If you don't take the time to run spell-check and grammar check on your site, search engines will penalize you.
Think about adding a podcast to your website. Podcasts are either a video or an audio program, that are sometimes streamed live, containing timely and relevant information consumers would want to listen to or view. Taking advantage of the growing popularity of podcasts is as easy as grabbing a webcam or other video or audio recorder. Your podcast descriptions will begin to list in search engines.
Using image links isn't a good practice when optimizing a website for search engines. Image links don't have any anchor text, which means all a search engine has to work with is the link's URL.
Put yourself in your customer's shoes. If you were looking for your website, what key words would you use? Once you've come up with a list, use them around your website. These keywords should be in the titles and all over the content, but you need to avoid overusing these keywords because this can cause your site to be labeled as spam by the search engines. This is why you have to find a balance.
Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization describes quite a few things. A multitude of options exist that can boost the rankings of any site. Start out by using the tips covered in this article to get started off on the right foot with your search engine optimization.

Nudefy Me is a lifetime in the making.
After about 15 years of learning, polishing, elevating my craft and steering towards a vision, I have found it. Aside from the fascination with the subject, I love the challenges, and the stories that come along with each session. I love to hear clients who still can't believe they did it and still can't believe that it's them in the photos. I've seen tears, I've seen salvaged relationships, and I've seen a renewed appreciation for oneself.
I have had people who describe themselves as "shy" dancing naked on the pavement of Yosemite, and running along rooftops. I laughed with clients that didn't want the session to end. I have had repeat clients who want a new set of photos every 5 years to remind them of where they were in life. I have had clients who decided that 30 was the time to do it, those with 3 kids who wanted to do something just for themselves, and I have had 40-somethings who told me they never felt so free than when in their Nudefy Me shoot. I photographed a grandmother of 2 that decided that was time for that special gift for her husband. Some people wait years building up "courage" for it only to find the experience completely natural and comfortable, free of trepidation.
And every single one of them, after seeing their photos, love what they see. I have had clients say they haven't felt so feminine in years. I have had clients that had never been completely naked in the sun. I had those who cursed the cold wind or water but powered through regardless. I even once photographed a client inside the San Francisco Bay. Through the evolution of time and experience came different techniques and new ways to deliver the work. Going beyond the main stream album, to gorgeous and framed pictures evolving to different finishes, resin, encaustic, hand-painted applications to today, turning the page with our new app, coming soon, that uses augmented reality for a whole new experience.
We use drones to photograph from the air; and waterproof equipment to capture underwater photography. In case you can't tell from my story, I am a curious being. I research, I read, and I modify; bookstores are my second home. I invest in my work to make it truly timeless and never cookie cutter. I have developed ways to allow my work to live on your walls. The work is elegant, beautiful and tasteful, no matter the audience. How, do you ask? Poetry, woodshop, laser and engraving classes, glass blowing lessons, CNC wood classes. I am an artist and photography is my main tool, but I wander to other mediums, seeing new tools, translating them to my work, deconstructing to reassemble them in order to bring new ideas to you, the client. I cater to the shy ones who are curious inside. I cater to the "OMG I am so scared ones" who stuck it out and lived that day to its fullest. I cater to the ones that appreciate art, that understand the value of uniqueness, that wander around other peoples' walls looking for art that moves them, art that is utterly personal. Most of all, I cater to the ones that stumbled upon Nudefy Me, who woke up one day and imagined how would it feel to be part of something that makes you excited, a little scared, brave and nervous…but ultimately resolved and confident. I cater to every shape and size.
Nudefy Me is an experience; it's a testament to you, not a contest. It's my job to capture who you are. It's my job to wow you, to make you wonder how we work with little to no use of image manipulation other than color adjustments and tone changes. I will not make you look different, I will translate the very best of you. I love patterns and textures. I take close ups. I love goose bumps and water drops. I ask for crazy things, see side projects, Trapped in Suspension and Photo Affair.
On a personal note, I am very happily married, father of 2. My life's passion is to be your photographer and deliver professional and impeccable results that thrill you. You are an individual entitled to respect and a commitment.
My clients are wives, husbands, friends, sisters, moms and dads and they deserve great memories and a final product that leaves them fulfilled. So, embrace the experience and have fun.
I want to get the best out of our time and I want it to live on your walls.


text: Stock indexes rallied today again. This time the Nasdaq/QQQQ had the larger percentage gain. Price is coming up to a resistance level. The trend is still down with momentum still up, as can be seen in the chart. The reversal back down yesterday (Tuesday) was a concern, but momentum increased even with a lower close, and the three day pivot (yellow dots) did a good job of containing the pullback. The trend lines are starting to come together, but these lines can squeeze together during a counter-trend rally, and then widen back out when the trend resumes. It is always possible a counter-trend rally can turn into a trend reversal, but for now I'll assume the downtrend is still intact until price action negates that assumption. If this rally is to continue with an attempt of overcoming resistance, volume should pick up. Volume has actually declined on this little rally, which does not vote for much continuation. I'll watch to see if volume can pick up if price gets up to resistance.

Turning heads at the Tony Awards
This year's Tony Awards brought A-listers to the Red Carpet in gorgeous garments of myriad hues. Glamorous celebs were spotted in everything from rich and vibrant purples and blues to elegant and chic pinks and nudes. And all accessorised with the most stunning of jewellery.
Musical theatre actress Laura Bell Bundy and singer Sheryl Crow opted for gowns in beautiful blues for the 66th annual Tony Awards. Laura went for a strapless to-the-floor gown with shimmering bustier and Sheryl showed that a change can do you more than good in a stunning gown with satin skirt and lace bodice detail. The singer teamed her stylish blue sensation with a dainty black bracelet, not dissimilar to those found in our gorgeous Suka Black Onyx and Sterling Silver Charm Bracelet set.
Meanwhile, actress Amanda Seyfried, who took to the stage as a presenter for the evening, rocked a shorter Givenchy creation - purple and black lace with spaghetti straps and gold intricacies. The Mamma Mia star went bright and bold with her fashion accessories, including an orange belt and matching clutch. We reckon our Ice Tassel Necklace, handcrafted from the finest sterling silver with a gorgeous orange tassel, would have looked amazing with this ensemble.
However, The Help actress Jessica Chastain gets our award for most glitzy of the evening, despite her lack of sparkling sterling silver jewellery. She donned a Marios Schwab sheer, nude coloured dress adorned with Swarovski crystals. This would have looked divine worn with a crystal Sterling Silver and Gemstone Sparkle Ring, as seen in Grazia.
What a lot of gorgeousness! On seeing the calibre of style at this year's Tony Awards our sterling silver jewellery designer, Annie Haak, couldn't wait to have her say:
"I love to see what the A-listers are wearing at these star-studded events. We girls love to get glammed up every now and again and when you've got a Red Carpet event to attend, what better reason is there? But remember there are necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings in our collection to suit every occasion."
Have a browse, we defy you not to be tempted.

I went to the Oktoberfest, the Real Thing, in Munich!! Well, there I was doing, um, pretty much nothing properly structured, and then there was the marvellous Indian summer across Europe, and I found a Dirndl skirt and blouse in Oxfam. Well, given those circumstances and a friend in Munich, wouldn't YOU have gone along? To be honest, Oktoberfest hadn't really crossed my consciousness until I got to Germany, not being particularly into beer, but I reckoned that it was an opportunity not to be missed, hopped on a train (I spent the entire four hours finishing sewing together the apron which I was assured was a must, and replacing the buttons on the knitted tank-top thingy).
I was rewarded with the most perfect day imaginable, and an amazing feeling of... togetherness?... from the sheer percentage of the attendees who were dressed up appropriately. I can't think of anything I've ever attended that had so MANY people joining in properly. Costume parties in England tend to encompass a lot of fabulously-dressed women and a gaggle of sulking men, hideously embarrassed at the whole situation and snagged between being annoyed that they didn't dare to dress up and irritated that they were asked to in the first place. Here, just about EVERYONE joined in - the effect was most visible from the Big Wheel, where the crowd (apparently two million on that day!) looked amazingly colourful. So much less black and dark brown than normal - many men wearing Lederhosen and pastel checked shirts, and the women in all colours of the rainbow. In fact, the Dirndls reminded me strongly of the arguments for classical music. The basic costume is simple, and you'd maybe think that after having seen a few you'd be bored. However, in an entire day, seeing literally thousands of women in every possible iteration of the theme, I didn't see a single repetition of the same outfit. Classic theme; infinite interpretations. Loved it!

The answer is a whale. I can't access my yahoo mail so I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the blue whale.It can get up to 188 decibles.
What animal has the largest eye out of all the animal kingdom?
This will be simple or stupid trivia questions for anyone who might enjoy.
The answer is a whale. I can't access my yahoo mail so I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the blue whale.It can get up to 188 decibles.
I'm thinking it's the ostrich. I know the ostrich's brain is smaller than it's eye! Or could it be the giant squid?
I'm going to go with Kat1, and say the Ostrich
hmmmm...you would think that the largest animal in the world would have the largest eye....so things would be proportioned, but that is not always true, but I am going to say the blue whale
Ta da...I was wrong...again! LOL
um...an owl?
Thank goodness for cable TV -- the giant squid (or something like that) was on a show about animal records this past weekend. The eye on one they mentioned was measured at about 20".

Books Gift Guides Holiday Lifestyle
Holiday Gift Guide for Book Lovers6.12.15
Or: What to Buy the Bookish Nerd In Your Life We all have that friend; nose stuck in a book at all times, constantl...
We all have that friend; nose stuck in a book at all times, constantly quoting classic literature without provocation...nearly insufferable. Well, the truth is that even they need gifts too (No judgement, this is essentially just my personal holiday wish-list so if you're looking to buy me a gift...take note).
1. Library Candle (Paddywax):
These are perfect for all the candle-loving readers out there or really any candle-loving friend who is trying to appear intellectual. With a selection of quotes from some of the world's most beloved authors, this one is sure to be a win for any book lover. My personal favourite is the Tolstoy variant, boasting the following: "All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love". I'll also note that the lone review on the site for this candle simply states "my favourite candle." so I mean…if I wasn't sold already, I certainly am after such rave reviews.
2. Literary Drinking Aids (Flask or Shot Glasses):
Everyone knows that book lovers love to have fun. I believe people are saying "turn up" these days (?!). Anyway, this is for the book lovers who like to have a good time. And by good time, I mean drink alcohol. Who knew that poisoning your body could be so academic?! With quotes like "I drink to make other people more interesting" (Hemingway) printed onto a flask, how could anyone resist?
3. "I'd Rather Be Reading" Tote Bag (Society 6):
I'll point out that they also have an "I'd Rather be Reading" shower curtain, which is cute but also rather fitting as I've lost more than one book by dropping them in my bubble bath (not on purpose…obviously I was reading in the tub).
4. Literary Tea (Etsy):
Fact: all book lovers are tea-lovers. Ask anyone. And who doesn't love having their two favourite things combined? Even if these aren't your 'cup of tea' (oh yeah...I went there), your book-obsessed friend will love them!
5. Bookholder (Barnes and Noble):
I am absolutely over the moon about this one. We've all struggled with eating while reading a book that you just cannot put down. Back me up here fellow book lovers, we've all been there. It is not easy to eat and read! It turns out that I've spent years struggling to read-eat efficiently, and all for naught! There are a variety of options, but the one I've linked from Barnes and Noble looks particularly sturdy. It doesn't have to be pretty, people, it just needs to get the job done.
6. Periodic Table of World Literature (Amazon):
This one is a real gem. It's for all the chemistry-loving book-nerds out there (all 5 of us). Apparently, much like the periodic table of elements, the writers are even grouped by technique and style so that's great, accuracy-wise.
7. Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss (Amazon):
This book is just amazing. Yes, it is a book about grammar, but Truss' (or Truss's, as you might learn if you happen to be the lucky recipient of this book) writing style really brings commas and semi-colons to life. I'm not joking; it's a must-have for everyone.
8. Literacy Charity:
Book lovers get notoriously huffy when they learn that reading is not everyone's favourite pastime. More reasonably, they are equally devastated to learn about children who aren't given the opportunity to turn into the tea-loving bookworms of the future. I promise you, your resident book-nerd will be delighted to learn about a donation to a charity that works to promote literacy. (Maybe also get them the bookholder though…)
There are a variety, but I'm including a handy list HERE.
Honourable Mentions:
Book Scented Candles: Wow...just...wow. Childhood happiness in wax form. Yes, of course this is different from the candle in option #1, it is not a candle inspired by the CONTENTS of a book, it is a candle THAT SMELLS LIKE BOOKS, and apparently "evokes the atmosphere of your fantasy library". There's a difference. I mean, what more could anyone ever want, really?
'I'm With The Banned' T-shirt: This one is for the socially responsible, activist book lover in your life. This t-shirt not only advocates for the reading of banned books, but it's also a fantastic pun and I actually laughed out loud when I saw it.

Save-the-World Summer Camp
Posted on 08/07/2017
By: Benjamin Rickert, Communications Department
The stereotypical "lazy summer" just wasn't going to cut it for Rebekah Vigil-Escobedo.
The rising sixth grader from
Oakley Elementary
jumped in with both feet when she learned about a unique summer camp for gifted students, hosted by Duke University and themed around saving the world from a deadly virus. At Duke's Talent Identification program (TIP) "crisis" camp held at Agnes Scott College in Georgia, students were accepted by application, and then worked in research teams to prevent a fictional H7N9 influenza outbreak from reaching pandemic proportions. According to Duke's website, the camp "lets gifted young scholars try out an exciting profession while learning academic, leadership, and teamwork skills." Rebekah, part of BCS' Academically/Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program, choose to fight the virus through the Finance and Global Economy team.
"At first, my finance team couldn't do anything to help with the making of the vaccine," Rebekah explained, because the Biomedical Engineering students still had to develop the medicine needed to fight the pandemic.
During this time, Rebekah and her teammates prepared by learning about financial principles such as bank interest, as well as how greed or opportunity cost might affect their problem solving. After other students developed the vaccine, Rebekah's team determined its cost and how it would be sold.
At Oakley, Rebekah was encouraged to apply for the camp by her AIG teacher, Mr. Chris Schmidt, and fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Sherie Ryan-Bailey.
"As AIG teachers, one of our jobs is to look for enrichment opportunities for our students," said Schmidt, who just completed his twenty-first year of teaching. "Sometimes these opportunities lie beyond the classroom walls."
For gifted students who prefer another learning option, Duke TIP offers a variety of online summer courses for independent learning. Another Oakley student, Daniel Coltrain, is participating in this way and is able to enrich his summer while studying from home.
Rebekah's crisis camp had some lighter moments, too, such as when students toured Atlanta's World of Coca-Cola to learn about the company's history and economic influence. There was also time during the week-long camp for making new friends from across the country.
Rebekah called the camp an "amazing, phenomenal learning experience" and is grateful to her parents and teachers for encouraging her to apply.
"They all told me to go for it and that they believed in me," she said. "I'll never forget the fact that I had the opportunity to experience college life at 11 years old!"
Schmidt was excited to see Rebekah use time during the summer to invest in her bright future.
"Gifted students have diverse interests and needs so it's wonderful to see students like Rebekah pursue programs that allow them to have new experiences, meet new people, and pursue their passions," he said. "I feel it's an important part of our job to encourage young people in this way."

Traditional Strawberry Jam (Sugar-Free!)
I can't wait until my son is old enough that we can go strawberry picking together. He's not quite there for this season's round, but I'm hoping next year he'll be able to enjoy it. I also can't wait until he's a little older so I can teach him how to make this classic strawberry jam! It's a favorite of ours. I usually double this batch (if we have enough berries for it) and keep a few jars for the freezer since we use the jam so frequently. The rest of the jars are boiled and sealed for the pantry.
I actually use this jam mostly for flavoring other recipes throughout the rest of the year when strawberries are called for. Sometimes it's a few spoonfuls in smoothies or baked goods, but I think the recipe I make the most using this strawberry jam is a strawberry vinaigrette for our salads. Year round, it's an easy way to get a little taste of summer on your plate!
This recipe is part of the pectin discussion we started on Tuesday. I'm sharing my four favorite jam recipes with you that don't require added commercial pectin. This recipe (and yesterday's Sour Cherry Jam) is sugar-free, commercial pectin-free, and Advanced Plan friendly!
Makes 5 half pint jars
6 cups chopped organic strawberries, ripe (can be fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup chopped organic strawberries, unripe
2 cups xylitol (I use powdered to make sure it dissolves)
Juice from 1 organic orange, saving the peel and rind
Large tea strainer or muslin bag
5-6 sanitized half pint jars and lids
1.) Put the chopped strawberries, xylitol and orange juice in a large stock pot. Chop the orange rinds and peels finely. Place into the tea ball or muslin bag and add it to the stock pot. Bring to a boil over High heat, stirring constantly. Strawberries tend to foam, just skim off any foam and discard as it boils.
2.) Reduce heat to Medium-High and continue to boil until the jam sets. When the jam reaches a temperature of 218 - 222 degrees F, do the ice cube test to see if it sets as you wish. (take a small spoonful of jam and hold it over an ice cube for a minute or so.) If the jam on the spoon has formed a skin that wrinkles when you push it, the jam is set. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the jam temperature.

Swagmans extensive range of bike carriers is strong, durable and versatile. All models include Swagmans unique Kraton gripper cradle surface to hold the bikes securely in place. Generous spacing between the large V cradles allows for easy loading and ample distance separating the bikes during transportation. The XP models have individually adjustable rotating cradles, which rotate to allow your bikes to be carried with the wheels level to the ground, and come standard with a locking knob for added security.
Will this work with a vehicle with a rear-mounted spare tire (i.e. a jeep wrangler)?
Asked by John from United States on
Hello John, Yes these Swagman Bike Racks will work with the spare tire on the vehicle. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask, Thank you.
