This semester, I got 4 classes to teach at STAN. I have already asked for a break at leat two semesters to focus on my thesis and office work at Pusdiklat Keuangan Umum; still, STAN put me in their list this semester. It's such a big burden again for me, yet I'll take that since I do love teaching. It is a legitimate skill like those in any other profession, so I have to be professional. I have to show everyone that I have the skills training, experience, compassion and commitment to make my students successful. Another reason is that I really love to facilitate and nurture the intellectual growth of my students, so that in turn, they are inspired to learn and motivated to achieve mastery of the subject that I teach.
So, my plan this semester, I have to ask a TA to help me handle my class in case I am not able to come to class. An assistant can also help me to improve my syllabus and evaluate my teaching process in class. This will cost me extra money, but it doesn't really matter. I gain enthusiasm by doing things the way I like it to be.
Teaching is by no means an easy task. But it is also fascinating challenge because it really isn't about teaching at all. It's about learning — there's another person involved in all of this. So, okay, I will teach four classes again this semester.

On March 19, the American Association of Equine Practitioners (this would include equine veterinarians) hosted a roundtable with reps from the Walking Horse industry and the USDA. The subject: how the equine vet community can help permanently eliminate the practice of soring.
Make note of the word "permanently."
Fourteen TWH industry groups were represented. Looking at the list, I'd say all the major players were there. Vets from the USDA and AAEP rounded out the panel.
The issues discussed:
– Uniting the industry under one umbrella governance structure. I assume they mean the "show" industry, specifically. Who else would need it?
– Detecting pressure shoeing by competitors.
– Conducting further investigation into the practices that cause soring. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this phrase. The Big Lick gait is what causes soring.
Are the representatives of the Tennessee Walking Horse show industry not playing with a full deck? Why is this not obvious?
The AAEP says they are committed to ending soring. The first recommendation should be to eliminate the development of Performance Horses and all the classes and glamour and money associated with them.
The other day, I received a letter from FOSH. I am a member of FOSH and support their efforts. They are undertaking an effort to elect "sound horse-friendly" members to several of the open positions on the TWHBEA board. The TWHBEA is the official breed registry, and naturally has a lot of influence on what goes on in the show world.
This is a smart tactic on their part. In addition, they are encouraging FOSH members to vote for these sound horse-friendly candidates in the upcoming elections. But it does present a problem.
In the final paragraph, president Lori Northrup notes that anyone who has not renewed their TWHBEA membership in protest of their position on soring (glad to learn that I wasn't the only one) should re-join in order to vote in and affect this election.
That presents a conundrum. I absolutely do not want to give TWHBEA any money, or appear that I am supporting them. But I do see the value of being able to put the right people in office. I haven't decided what to do.

How much would you pay for a 15-year-old bottle of bourbon? Forty dollars? Sixty? Eighty?
The official price – the MSRP on the distiller's website – for a Pappy Van Winkle of this age is one cent short of $100.00, but that's frankly irrelevant. Because if you really wanted a bottle, you'd probably have to hand over $1,500.00 – if you could find someone with any to sell.
Bourbon is, to use the US vernacular, 'hot' right now, and hotter than most members of the wine industry might imagine. Production has risen threefold since 1999, with an emphasis on premium and super-premium brands. As an article in Marketplace revealed last year, cult bourbons like Pappy van Winkle and George T. Stagg are traded on the secondary market so eagerly, and with such high markups, that Stephen Shackleton of Shorewood Liquors near Minneapolis, makes it a condition of sale that he can break the seal before the buyer leaves his shop. That way, they can't instantly resell the bottle for a profit.
Unsurprisingly, the big drinks conglomerates are helping to drive the US whiskey boom. Constellation has invested in High West Distillery and The Bardstown Bourbon Company; LVMH has bought into Woodinville Whiskey Company in Washington, the state where Remy-Cointreau recently bought Westland Distillery; and SPI – owners of Stolichnaya vodka and the Achaval Ferrer winery in Argentina – has Kentucky Owl.
So what has all of this to do with wine? Quite a lot, if you look at retail shelves: what I'm going to call bourbonization has been a palpable US phenomenon since 2014. That was when the first red wines aged in whiskey barrels hit the market, led by examples like the Pernod Ricard's 2012 Jacob's Creek Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
Today, some US retailers offer more bourbon-barrel-aged Californian wines than bottles from South Africa or Portugal. Big brands offering this style now include Mondavi, Beringer, Gallo's Apothic and Fetzer which sells over 100,000 cases per year. Then there's Cooper & Thief, Barrel Road, Exitus, Barrel House, Stave & Steel, Fool's Gold and The Federalist – 'America's first craft wine', to name but a few. The Total Wine & More chain even has its own brand, called Big Six: "Not for the faint of heart - This red blend packs in a ton a flavor!"
Wine enthusiasts rarely enthuse about these wines, most of which have alcohol levels above 15%. "If they want bourbon, people should drink bourbon" they predictably say of the barrel-aged whiskey fans.
Some industry observers have, after some thought, decided that the style is aimed at men: the reverse of female-targeted brands like Cupcake, Ménage à Trois and Barefoot, but this is far too simplistic.
American women like bourbon: apparently they represent a healthy 37% of US whiskey drinkers. Why shouldn't they, and their male counterparts, relish a less alcoholic grape-based beverage that shares some of the warm caramel sweetness of their favourite spirit?
But bourbonization is apparent in US wines that make no mention of the 'b' word. Orin Swift's Papillon may be described as a 'Bordeaux blend' but this Napa wine with its 15.7% (at least) alcohol, bears little resemblance to anything that has ever come out of the Médoc or St Emilion. It's intensely rich, powerful stuff with lots of dark berry fruit, vanilla and licorice. There is some tannin in the background, but the silky alcoholic sensation of swallowing it is more reminiscent of a tannin-free port than a red wine – but without the obvious sweetness. And the same could be said for Orin Swift's $65.00 Machete and $45.00 Abstracts that are as ubiquitous in US wine shops as the most popular bourbon.
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that these wines, and the growing number of concentrated, high-octane, tannin-lite fruit-bombs that stand alongside them on US retailer shelves taste like bourbon. They don't. But their style, packaging and price are all perfectly targeted at people who buy and enjoy premium bourbon.
Fortunately for these imbibers, Dave Phinney, the genius behind the eye-catching Orin Swift labels and wines - and the Prisoner, his earlier, similarly ground-breakingly packaged and styled brand for which Constellation paid $285m - also makes a nine year old American whiskey called Slaughter House. Described as "smooth, ultra-rich and layered… honey, toast and loads of caramel finish", it is a relative bargain at $40.00. Especially when you consider that it has been matured in barrels used to make Phinney's Papillon red which costs as much as $100.00 in New York wine shops.
I'm old enough to remember the days before salt and caramel were introduced to each other – or certainly before they were enough of a couple to live together in a tub of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Maybe we'll all just have to get used to some similarly conjugal relationships between grape and grain.

For those of you who know Shaffie…and I don't mean knowing him just by name, then you probably know that he is not the kind of person to sugar coat things. He is the most upfront man you'll ever meet.
The Team Mafisi Secretary General- and just so you know he is indeed proud of that position – has decided to speak his mind once again, and this time to church ladies. We know that you are almost perfect, at least you try to be, but c'mon! At times you really need to ease up a little.
There are a couple of things you do that don't seem to favour our men around here, to be more specific, the Team Mafisi Sacco.
"Immediately after Church service you will just pack your bible and rush home, you will not give a brother a chance to talk to you. After all this, you will be praying to marry in December. So is it Angel Gabriel that will come and woo you in the spirit? I wonder what you kept in your house." Shaffie said.
But seriously, how do you expect to find that husband you are looking for in church? This does not give that brother eyeing you at church an opportunity to come over and introduce himself because even before they share the grace in fellowship, you have already disappeared.
"At least stay a while after service, say your thanksgiving prayer silently and sit down and smile at the folks you know and exchange hellos. How will that harm you?"he continued.
But hey, he is only speaking as a concerned brother-in-Christ. If you like, take the advise.

Berkeley Symphony Orchestra's Music Education Program
According to Berkeley Symphony Orchestra Education Director Ming Luke, the mission of the orchestra's Music Education Program, a collaboration with the Berkeley (California) School District, "is for every single student in the district, not just the best ones, but for every single one of them to have a minimum level of music education and experience." A brief excerpt from Luke's conversation with the NEA is below. Read more at http://www.arts.gov/features/index.php?choosemonth= 2009_1.
NEA: Tell me about Berkeley's Music Education Program.
MING LUKE: From the very outset of the program, the idea was that this education program should be in a true collaborative fashion with the school district. [We wanted to look at] what the district music teacher's needs are and create programs that are beneficial for all of them, not just impose [a curriculum] on a district. . . . We're at all 11 elementary schools every single year with a program that is tailored to each grade's curricula.
NEA: How is the program structured?
LUKE: The primary focus for the education program is that it's not hit-and-run music education. The goal of the education program is to have as many interactions with the students over the course of an entire year as possible. The three major components of the program are musician visits and Meet the Symphony concerts [in the fall], and I'm a Performer rehearsals and concerts in the spring. . . .The music teacher collaborates with the visiting musicians, as well as the classroom teachers, to figure out what would be the best topic for the students to work with. . . . And so, for instance, a fourth-grade string teacher might ask our musicians to have a specific lesson on bow hold as well as give a presentation on what's it like to be a musician. . . . Ideally if the classroom teacher has been using the curricula and the musicians have been talking about the program, [the students] get to a point where [the Meet the Symphony concert] is a live demonstration of the things that they've been hearing. . . .The last major component is the I'm a Performer concerts. This is where every single student in the Berkeley elementary schools performs with the symphony.
NEA: How important is NEA support to the program?
LUKE: To have support coming from all areas of the community is incredibly important to us, whether it's local, regional, or national, as well as various types of funding, individuals, foundations, government entities. . . . It not only provides legitimacy, but it also is symbolic of the way we're trying to structure the program, which is that all areas in the community have feedback and a stake in the program.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime gets early hands-on, sample photos, Tegra 3 tech demo

Asus' Eee Pad Transformer Prime still has at least a month to go for launch — last we heard it was December — but that hasn't topped Brazilian outlet ZTOP from getting hands-on time with an engineering model running Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Thankfully for us, the outlet had a chance to size up the ultra-thin 8.33mm tablet with the iPhone 4 (9.33mm) and Droid RAZR (7.1mm). More impressive is the demo of Shadowgun optimized for the NVIDIA Tegra 3 platform — although, as the article points out, it also does a decent job of highlighting some nagging sound issues.
Additionally, Asus has posted a couple pictures reportedly taken from the Transformer Prime and its 8-megapixel shooter, although both photos are much smaller resolution...

Wow…we have been dining together every month now for two years. It's crazy how fast time flies. The date has been on our calendars for months, but only today did we decide to meet at Michy's, where it all began two years ago. As always, we were all late, some 15 minutes, and others an hour and fifteen minutes. But most importantly, we all eventually made it there.A lot has happened in two years, especially in the last month. During the past month one of us discovered a food allergy, some got new jobs, some have new love in their lives and some, enjoying the fruits of the new found freedom. Actually, there was a lot more but perhaps I will leave that for some other time.Now let's get to the important things. The moment we agreed on Michy's, my mind was only thinking about one thing – the Bread Pudding. It is absolutely divine – creamy, sweet, and savory; topped with delicious chunks of chocolate chips, a bit of cognac, and French vanilla ice-cream. I think the secret to this bread pudding is the chocolate that is melted on the bottom and the chunks of raisins throughout for added sweetness. Oh simply orgasmic!!!!Don't fret, I had a little more than dessert tonight. Actually, I had the usual – Jamon serrano and blue cheese crocketas with fig jam, a watermelon arugula salad and steak with tasty shoe string fries. Surprise, surprise, I actually shared the appetizer and the salad. I know it's hard to believe it, but since I wanted so much tonight, sharing was the best option. Baby steps people, baby steps…..As usual, everything I ordered tonight was delicious and satisfying. Oh and there were many glasses of wine and thinking back, we would have been better off ordering a bottle of wine and sharing. Maybe that's a lesson to be learned next time.When I came home, I found a little gift waiting for me….he knows me well – a gift from Starbucks. Little things like this make my heart flutter…..dining divas, dinner, gifts

Rowdy Weekend at Verve Cup Offshore / J/111 Great Lakes Championship
Eleven J/111s competed at the Verve Cup Offshore Regatta hosted by Chicago Yacht Club from August 10-12, which also served as the J/111 Great Lakes Championship. Conditions ranged from a lumpy 6-10 knots on Friday, light winds on Saturday and about 8 knots on Sunday under sunny skies. Richard Witzel's Rowdy won three of the seven races to secure first place with 17 points. Peter Wagner's Skeleton Key took the runner-up position with 20 points, two better than Bradley Faber's Utah in third. For complete event details, visit https://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=4700.
Wicked Buzzards Bay Regatta
The 2018 Buzzards Bay Regatta was held August 3-5 by Beverly Yacht Club (Marion, MA) and New Bedford Yacht Club (South Dartmouth, MA), with six course circles hosting nearly 200 entrants. The J/111 Wicked 2.0 lead by Douglas Curtiss took the PHRF New England Championship Race 1. Complete event details may be found at https://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=4710.
J/111 Wicked Wins PHRF Division at Round the Island Race
Edgartown Yacht Club's Round-the-Island Race (one of America's oldest distance races) took place around Martha's Vineyard. It is part of the Edgartown Yacht Club's Edgartown Race Weekend, which includes two days of buoy racing and a Round-the-Sound Race. Starting at 0800 Saturday morning, the RTI fleet sailed between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket along the east beach of Chappaquiddick. At midday, the fleet headed into the open Atlantic Ocean off the south coast of the Vineyard. In the afternoon, after rounding the cliffs of Gay Head, the sailors then headed up Vineyard Sound to the finish near Edgartown Harbor. Douglas Curtiss's J/111 WICKED 2.0 won PHRF A. For more Round the Island Race & Sound information, visit http://rtirace.org/.
Kashmir Team Tops Ugotta Regatta
The Little Traverse Yacht Club's Ugotta Regatta lived up to its fun reputation on the Little Traverse Bay in Michigan. Winning the J/111s was the trio on KASHMIR (Karl Brummel, Steve Henderson, Mike Mayer) with four firsts and a second for just 6 points total. Second was Brad Faber's UTAH with 9 points. Taking the bronze was Carl Hanssen's VARIANCE with 16. For more LTYC Ugotta Regatta information, visit https://ltyc.org/ugotta-regatta/.
J/111 Wins Round Island Race
Thanks to Gary Leduc for this report: "The race started at 8:00 am in 11-13 knots true from the east. We had a short port tack favored beat out to a drop mark, then a jib reach down Muskegett Channel to the sea buoy. The second leg was pretty much dead downwind, but the starboard jibe was a little favored. The breeze stayed easterly until the very end of the 16-mile run, when the wind clocked a little SE and freshened. That made for a nice broad reach from Squibnocket to Devil's Bridge. On the approach to Devil's Bridge, the breeze slammed back to the east and started to freshen slightly to 14-16 knots. The tide was slack at Devil's Bridge, but due to start flooding soon. The key is to get up inside middle ground in Vineyard Sound for the flood and ride a 2 knot boost all the way past Vineyard Haven. That did happen for us, and as we came out of middle ground at West Chop, we were doing over 10 knots SOG right into the 14-16 knot Easterly. Those conditions made for very, very close, steep chop. One issue we did have was the Ferry coming out of Vineyard Haven. We could not cross her bow. So, we had to tack onto port. We wanted to continue on starboard, but the ferry altered that plan slightly. Once clear, we tacked back onto port to a layline for the finish line. We were a bottom-rated boat in PHRF Class A, while the highest rating boat was Aurora, a 65 footer. Also in our class were Chessie Racing and Irie and Crazy Horse, all big fast boats over 55 feet. Our corrected time was 6:38:11, winning by a margin of 19min 20sec! Since 2013, the J/111 WICKED 2.0's race record in the Around The Vineyard Race looks like three firsts and one second."
110th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac
From tragedy and big seas to flat calm and floating, the 110th Chicago Mackinac Race was a race of extremes for the 289.4 nm course from the Chicago Lighthouse, just off Navy Pier, to Mackinac Island. After the Cruising Division start on July 20 and the Racing Division start on July 21, the 288-boat fleet was soon dealt with 20+ knots and six-to-eight foot seas as they sailed up Lake Michigan. Ultimately, 65 teams would retire. As the low moved east, the wind lightened and a weak high pressure system met the fleet in the northern part of the lake. Seventeen J/111s started, and it was Dave Irish's Nosurprise that took Class honors, ahead of Richard Witzel's Rowdy and Tom Dickson's Warlock.

Godwin's Law is that basically that if an argument goes on long enough, eventually someone is getting compared to Hitler, and likely not favorably.
Anyway, I now propose Godwin's Second Law – anything popular enough on the Internet will eventually get the Downfall Treatment.
And voila, we present to you this – Zillow, meet Downfall; Downfall, Zillow.
Dirty little secret: I've been watching these since the pioneer days of the Internet, back when we used diesel-powered browsers and had to dodge arrows from angry Washington football team mascots.
(For those who don't know, Downfall is a serious movie about Adolf Hitler's last days in his bunker. In one scene he loses it, big time.)
The Downfall satire videos place subtitles around unrelated issues in an effort to turn the drama into comedy. It's so big, there is even a satire video about all the satire videos, when Hilter finds out about all the downfall videos in a Downfall video.
And no matter how many I see, I'm just thick-headed and immature enough that I still laugh at them.
So now, according to Godwin's Second Law, Zillow now gets its turn in the barrel.
But it's really not a slam on Zillow.
Oh, they hit on the Zestimate problem, but the real target is people who commit the ID10t error of not reading the fine print.
And when you watch this, towards the end imagine 10,000 Realtors and real estate agents all pumping their fist in unison, because the writer of this Downfall treatment nails the "informed, Internet-empowered homebuyer" right between the Seigfried lines.
Zillow probably won't be thrilled, but they're not really the butt of the joke.
Hey, look at it this way – you've made it to the Internet big time, Zillow. Your next achievement to unlock? ZilLOLCats.
Have a look.

National Community Development Groups Invest $24 Million in New Markets Tax Credits for Passport's Health and Well-Being Campus
One of Louisville's most anticipated real estate development projects has drawn significant attention and support from prominent national investors. A collection of financial leaders has awarded Passport Health Plan – a nonprofit, Kentucky-based Medicaid managed care organization – millions of dollars in special tax credit financing to help bring the company's new headquarters and Health and Well-Being Campus to reality in downtown Louisville.
Three Community Development Entities (CDEs) are combining to provide $24.35 million in New Markets Tax Credit financing to Passport, bringing $8.55 million in subsidy to assist the project. The CDEs are the National Development Council, Reinvestment Fund, and Telesis Corporation. SB Friedman Development Advisors acted as consultants for this project. PNC Bank will serve as the investor for the $8.55M in tax credit equity.
"The Passport Health and Well-Being Campus will further allow us to meet our shared goal with the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) to help our members develop job skills, acquire education, and ultimately become employed and have access to private insurance," said Passport CEO Mark Carter. "Through our collaboration with community partners focused on healthy food, affordable and safe housing, and other services, we will reduce the overall cost of Kentucky's Medicaid program in the future."

Subject: Removal of Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens) Quarantine Areas in Rangerville Cameron County and McAllen, Mission and La Villa, Hidalgo, County, Texas
To: State and Territory Agricultural Regulatory Officials
Earlier this year in Texas, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) removed the Mexican fruit fly quarantine areas in Rangerville, Cameron County (on August 6) and McAllen, Mission, and La Villa in Hidalgo County (on October 3).
On March 31, APHIS and the TDA established a Mexican fruit fly (mexfly) regulated area in the McAllen area of Hidalgo County, Texas. Subsequent mexfly detections in the Mission and La Villa areas of Hidalgo County resulted in the expansion of the regulated area. Additionally, a mated female mexfly was detected and then confirmed on April 3, 2105 in the Rangerville area of Cameron County. To prevent the spread of mexfly to noninfested areas of the United States, APHIS and the TDA established mexfly quarantines in Hidalgo and Cameron County to restrict the interstate movement of regulated articles from those areas. Since that time, APHIS has cooperated with the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas Citrus Industry to eradicate the transient mexfly populations through various control actions per program protocols. Accordingly, APHIS has removed the quarantine from those areas after those areas concluded the necessary three lifecycles.
This removal of the quarantine areas is reflected on the following designated website, which contains a description of all the current federal fruit fly quarantine areas: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/ff-quarantine
For additional information on APHIS fruit fly programs you may call Fruit Fly Policy Manager John Stewart at 919-855-7426.

Oral wills were traditionally used when an individual was too ill or otherwise unable to write. Question 1: What is a nuncapative will? – Answer: A nuncapative will is just an elegant way to state oral or spoken will. With an oral will, the testator– the person who makes the will– specifies his or her desires verbally instead of composing them down.
Question 2: Can I utilize an oral will rather of a composed will?
Answer: Not in Florida. Though a little minority of states presently permit people to use an oral will, Florida is not one of them. Even if you make a declaration about how you want your property to be dispersed after you pass away, a Florida court will not acknowledge this as a legitimate will. Rather of recognizing your desires, the court will either recognize an old will or, if you do not have one, will apply the state's intestacy laws to figure out how your estate will be distributed.
Question 3: What if I live in a state that acknowledges oral wills?
Answer: In basic, a Florida court will acknowledge an oral will if it is made in a state that recognizes such wills. However, if you reside in more than one state and have property in both, it is best to have a will that abides by the laws of both states so there can be no confusion when it comes time to identify if your will is valid.

Tradition and Saving Face
"Tradition and Saving Face"
By Levi Bloomer
In my time in Vietnam I've noticed a very interesting cultural trend called saving face. Saving face is a combination of reputation, social standing, dignity and individual honors. This tradition is steeped in longstanding notions of respect held in Vietnamese society and other East Asian cultures like China, Japan, and Korea. There is a definite social hierarchy and respect is due to those of higher social standing. Students defer to their teachers, children are expected to obey their parents, and generally wives are expected to listen to their husbands. When someone loses face, others in their community look down at them and their social standing is lowered. In Western terms saving face could be compared to not stepping on someone's toes. This is incredibly important because in Vietnam one's self conception is not nearly as important as the views of the community at large. When one brings disrespect on themselves it is not merely his or her own honor that is sullied, but that of their family and possibly their immediate community as well.
Vietnamese are extremely sensitive to public outbursts. One should never raise his or her voice or cause as scene as this could cause someone to lose face. While Western societies usually prefer a more direct and upfront approach, the Vietnamese use a more round about method. Instead of telling someone that they are wrong and embarrassing them in front of their peers, the Vietnamese would instead prefer to offer suggestions and tips for improvement in the future. When asked a direct question that they don't know the answer to, a Westerner is more apt to just say that they don't know the answer or don't understand the question. On the other hand if a Vietnamese person doesn't know the answer to a direct question, they would likely answer a related topic that they do know the answer to or talk around the question. To admit that they don't know the answer to the question would be to lose face and bring shame on themselves.
If one insists on embarrassing a Vietnamese person in front of others it will not soon be forgotten. Causing someone to lose face is a serious offense and it is likely that any kind of relationship with that person will be severely impacted. If one were to cause a Vietnamese person to lose face while negotiating a business deal for instance, the deal would be dead in the water. More than one working relationship has been permanently destroyed by a few second exchange of words that causes one or both parties to lose face.
This desire to save face has very real and serious implications for society at large. Because of the importance of social standing, even the poorest Vietnamese will not ask for help unless it is direly needed. The Vietnamese would rather live frugally and go a bit hungry than ask for help and lose face. For Westerners it may seem ridiculous, but the fact is it is a very really and important part of Vietnamese society that needs to be respected. The desire to save face is best illustrated by the book How Vietnamese See the World.
"From each according to his desire for face, to each according to his willingness to lose face."

Just as excitement over the Android platform developed by Google started to wane as the G1 announcement is followed by a slew of other phones, Android is once again thrust into the spotlight when Kogan recently announced they will begin shipping the world's second phone to use the Android OS in January 2009.
Actually, the announcement has been made a few months back but nobody really paid any attention, however with the imminent release of the new Kogan Agora and Agora Pro, interest have been piqued. Ruslan Kogan initially intended for the phone to be sold at a price point of $199, but the forces of economics have since taken a beating and the new Agora and Agora Pro will debut at $299 and $399 respectively, and that's in Aussie dollars so expects prices to fall if you are from another country =).
Kogan is an online-only retailer that has its handsets manufactured in China, and it packs a 320×240 2.5-in touchscreen, 3G, Bluetooth and microSD slot for memory while the more expensive Pro throws in a GPS and 2MP camera module and the omnipresent WiFi. The specs are nowhere near as great as the G1 by HTC, but then again the prices (unsubsidized) are also correspondingly lower, so if you are interested in checking out the Android platform this would be the best way.
But then again, pictures of some China handphones sporting the Android platform have been floating about and if true, it would mean that China handphones will be a force to contend. They are frequently sold at a very cheap price and feature things like 3-inch touchscreens, incredible sound, TV-tuner, etc. The only problem so far with most Chinese phones is the clunky UI. Now with the free and open Android, here's me hoping that somebody figures out how to wipe the built-in OS of my China phone and replace it with the Android and I'll be a happy man indeed.
Let's see how China handphone manufacturers embrace the Android. If successful, expect the whole world to be flooded by cheap and powerful phones pretty soon on the Android platform.

NEWCASTLE'S annual Hallowtides Festival will be very much a family affair as this year as The Addams Family take centre stage for a major programme of spooky celebrations delivered by Down District Council.
The weird and wonderful characters of The Addams Family, made famous by countless TV shows and movies, has been chosen as the theme for Hallowtides 2013. Event organizers are hoping that Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Grandmama, Wednesday, P
This year's programme is packed with themed events, activities and entertainment sure to please all the family and it promises to go easy on the family fortunes too. The frightening festivities will run from Saturday 26 – Thursday 31 October and most of the featured events are free to enjoy, while others have a firm value-for-money focus.
Speaking at the launch of this year's Hallowtides programme, Down District Council Chairman, Councillor Maria McCarthy said, "In recent years Newcastle, has really taken Halloween to its heart. The town's Hallowtides celebrations have grown in scale to become a highlight of Down District Council's events calendar. Not only providing entertainment for the local community but also attracting a significant influx of visitors and contributing to the region's wider tourism strategy.
"Newcastle is justly proud of its long-established reputation as a family resort and that is reflected in the programme which we unveil today. There is truly something here for all the family and with careful management, we have made sure there are no scary prices lurking in there!
"On that score I must pay particular tribute to the town's dynamic traders and its vibrant hospitality sector who have really got behind Hallowtides 2013, enhancing major events and adding to the programme, all the while ensuring that our reputation for great choice and value is suitably enhanced this Autumn. Some of them have even promised to dress up as Addams Family characters, which is something I'm sure we'd all like to see."
There will be no shortage of opportunities to spot The Addams Family at large in Newcastle this Hallowtides or indeed to dress up and join in the fun. From shop window competitions, treasure hunts, face painting and fancy dress competitions to street entertainment, a Cool FM Roadshow and of course the fantastic annual Float Parade and fireworks display on Saturday 26 October, it's sure to be one spooky and kooky festival.

Artist/poet Diane Walker invites you to return to your compassionate and peaceful center

Listen to your heart
This painting, for example, which I finished yesterday, was inspired by a piece of art I found in one of the slew of catalogs that tend to show up in our mailboxes around this time of year. Does that mean it's not mine? The thickened sections underneath are uniquely my own, but the mirage-like shimmer of it is what happened when I tried to duplicate the other artist's technique -- and I really like it, so much so that I've already used it to soften some of the other works I've done recently which seemed to have too much texture.
So, in the end, allowing myself to be inspired by another's work was not only a way to take an old canvas I no longer cared for and turn it into something I could really like, but it has allowed me to reclaim some other pieces whose compositions I liked but whose execution seemed to me to be flawed.
Moral of the story? Listen to your heart, don't be afraid to bend the rules a bit, and trust that everything has something to teach you. At least -- that's what I'm thinking now. Ask me again later!

Timed ticketing or advance notice of your visit is not needed, but masks and social distancing are both required in all museum spaces. Please keep everyone's health and safety in mind during your visit and understand that policies may change as COVID-19 reopening phases evolve.
To celebrate the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association's 150th anniversary, admission this season is FREE! (Donations greatly appreciated, but not required.)
Follow our Facebook pages for musings, exhibit preparations, and the latest updates.
Living in Our Landscape
Whether for recreation or cultivation, people have played a role in shaping the environment for thousands of years. This selection of paintings from the museum's collection looks at the human presence in our local landscape.
The Effect of the Mist
From 1885 to 1920, the Misses Allen—Frances and Mary— traveled the Deerfield region capturing small-town life and agricultural landscapes during the four seasons and in all kinds of weather. They also visited California, as well as Great Britain where Mary noted their approach, "It rains – the soft kindly English rain – but we stop and photograph in the midst – the effect of the mist being too beautiful to lose." This exhibit features Allen Sister landscapes of Deerfield and beyond.
Edward and Orra Hitchcock
He was one of the most accomplished scientists of the 19th century. She was a scientific illustrator whose work is still acclaimed today. This exhibit, in the very room where they met, looks at their lifelong collaboration and their many accomplishments which still have an impact in the 21st century. Produced in conjunction with PVMA's website Impressions from a Lost World: www.dinotracksdiscovery.org.
See these recently updated galleries at Memorial Hall Museum, and get a map of African American sites in Deerfield. Other highlights of the collection can be seen on our American Centuries digital collection here.
MUSIC ROOM In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Memorial Hall Museum's 1916 wing, the Music Room was renovated and reinstalled with three centuries of musical instruments, furniture, and artwork. Franklin County's first piano, Hadley chests, and portraits are featured in this special exhibition.
Photographs by Frances and Mary Allen Celebrated as the "foremost women photographers in America" in 1901, Frances and Mary Allen's 1885 to 1915 photographs provide a unique glimpse of childhood in rural New England. This exhibition features idyllic photographs of children on the farm, at play or in costume in old Deerfield.
RELICS AND CURIOSITIES IN MEMORIAL HALL Conch shells used for dinner horns? Wreaths made from human hair? Weapons made with shark's teeth? Out-of-the-ordinary curios and keepsakes are featured in an exhibition with an emphasis on intriguing narratives and "otherness." This exhibition features rarely seen relics and curiosities gathered and preserved in Memorial Hall since its beginnings.
All Work and No Play?
This exhibition features handcrafted tools and equipment once indispensable to farmers, craftsmen, and rural families. Artfully arranged on walls and pedestals, objects such as the humble dung fork, spinning wheel, and ditch plow are shown for their intrinsic beauty. Whether lovingly or grudgingly used, these carefully crafted and patched tools and equipment speak volumes about their early role in everyday life in rural New England.
Along with the popular Mack the Giant Ox banner, the exhibition includes Frances and Mary Allen's photographs of people at work and play; equipment used in agriculture, food and cloth production; woodworking, coopering, and shoemaking trades; early vehicles from Montague and Greenfield; enormous barrels carved from a sycamore trunk; washing and broom-making machines; animals' yokes and pokes; hand-wrought cow and sheep bells; and curiosities such as The Lost Hoe Found.
Tools, Trades and Tasks is installed in Memorial Hall's Main Hall.
The Arts and Crafts Movement in Deerfield
EXHIBITION: Skilled Hands and High Ideals: The Arts and Crafts Movement in Deerfield, at Memorial Hall Museum. Learn more about the exhibit here.
PULBICATION: Poetry to the Earth: The Arts and Crafts Movement in Deerfield, written by Curator of Memorial Hall Museum Suzanne L. Flynt, chronicles the extraordinary story of how Arts and Crafts transformed this western Massachusetts farming village into a leading crafts center. Learn more about the book and its 345 images here.
WEBSITE: "Meet" the artists, hear their words, and see the objects they created at our website, The Arts & Crafts Moment in Deerfield.

I'm at the FMX Conference in Stuttgart right now. Arrived today on day 3 of a 4-day conference. I was just in time to get to Greg Rewis' Session about Flash Video.
It was a basic session on how to import and use video in flash cs3. Greg imported video directly in flash, encoding it to flv. Then he demonstrated some of the new components: the FLVPlayback AS3 version and a subtitle component. I found the subtitle thing quite interesting: it allows you to show subtitles from cuepoints in your flash video during the playback. Cuepoints can be defined inside the FLV or – and this I liked particulary – from an XML export out of premiere or aftereffects. So cuepoint info (time & subtitle) is in an XML format and can be linked to the video through standard components. Nice.
Greg will be at multi-mania aswell, talking about CS3 in general.

3:30 p.m. Tuesday 26th of June, 2018 Merritt, BC.
June 20th, 2018 was a magical night—but let me start at the beginning. In 1988, no, that's too far back. While I was in Mexico this past winter, I received an email from Knowledge Network inviting me to the screening of the first episode of the 20th anniversary of Midsomer Murders. It was by invitation only and would be held at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo. Well, of course I immediately went on line and registered for myself and one other—who wouldn't?
There it was, in red, on my calendar so that when I got back to Canada I wouldn't miss it. I'd kick myself—not sure how—but I'd try not to dislocate a titanium hip in the process.
Back in Nanaimo, I'm frantically working towards publishing A Person of Interest when I get a phone call from Donna Robinson, Development Officer at Knowledge Network. Since I have been a member of Knowledge the longest in this area—30 years—would I like to make the draw at the screening of Midsomer Murders.
Well, duh! When I told her what a coincidence it was that I was about to publish my debut novel—a romantic mystery—she immediately went to www.ardelleholden.com to see for herself. We arranged to meet at reception—she'd know me by the hat. You know the one.
As we filed in to the lobby, a producer—Michelle, greeted us clipboard in hand, looking very official. We smiled back and forth and as I approached her she asked me if I had seen the testimonials on Knowledge. I assured her I must have many times over the years. Apparently, they would be filming in Nanaimo in June and would I be willing to do a testimonial myself. I told her that would be problematic because of this book tour, but never fear, they could arrange something in August on my return and a crew would come over to film it. Now… I'm not even in the theatre yet!
I met up with Donna and she showed us where our reserved seats were right there—in the front row—Ardelle Holden and Guest of Ardelle Holden. She indicated the ramp where we would walk up to the podium on the stage when Rudy called us up. I say 'us' because they also had the most recent member. Only two weeks ago she got an invitation for someone with the same last name, so she thought she should be a member of Knowledge Network.
Rudy Buttignol, the president and CEO of Knowledge Network introduced the premiere episode of the 20th anniversary of Midsomer Murders and Neil Dudgeon—DSI John Barnaby—warned us right off that Midsomer was an extremely dangerous place to live. No spoiler alert necessary here, but I will tell you not to miss it.
At intermission, after an exciting first half which deserved and got enthusiastic applause, we all traipsed out to the lobby. I had my picture taken with DCI John Barnaby, Phryne Fisher of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and DCS Foyle of Foyle's War. They were a little flat and a little stiff, but they posed politely just the same. Donna had already sent the link to my website to the producer working the camera. His enthusiasm was disarming as he wished me every success with the launch of A Person of Interest.
I was on cloud nine already and I hadn't even done the draw yet! When Rudy introduced me at the podium, he announced the launch of my book and asked me when he could expect to see the movie version. I told him and the packed house that I was on top of it—I had already downloaded the screenplay template.
Does it get any better than that?! Well, here we are on the first day of our trip east, pulled over in the breezy sunshine of Merritt BC and my driver is having a well deserved snooze back in the camper while I sit in the truck and squint at these words across my dimly lit reflection. Life is good.
Until tomorrow,
Visit www.knowledgenetwork.ca You'll be glad you did. They're streaming now too!

A quodlibet is a piece of music that features a combination of melodies, for example, popular tunes. They are typically combined in a surprising way that makes them funny (especially if you know the typically non-funny intent of the original tunes).
A mashup combines two or more pieces of music, sometimes superimposing the vocal track of one song over the instrumental track of another.
Either may consist entirely of other people's music. The art is in the blending.
Grant Woolard has combined 57 classical themes by 33 composers in this clever YouTube video. The graphics are as entertaining as the music.

Cosmos: a Spacetime Odyssey season 2
Seasons: 1
Country: USA
TV channel: Fox
Original release: March 9, 2014 – present
About TV show Cosmos: a Spacetime Odyssey season 2
The science documentary series was hosted by an astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson who through the course of 13 episodes travelled on the Ship of Imagination explaining how the Universe works. He covered topics from the green-house effect, possible life in other Galaxies, our planet's past, present and future. This was a magnificent show especially for those who struggled to learn science from the books throughout his life and failed. There are a lot of science dummies out there who look forward to learning fresh material in a 2nd season.
If you are one of them, sign up for our updates and receive the upcoming announcements. We hope pretty soon the executive produce will officially reveal the premier date of the season 2 and its host. He said Tyson has to decide whether he will host it again, and certainly this would be ideal. But if not, who do you think could guide the Ship of Imagination? Don't miss the air date to learn all the exciting science stuff!
If you are sick and tired of all predictable sitcoms, shallow soap operas, foolish reality shows that keep people dumb, Cosmos is a breath of fresh air. Complex topics are explained in a very simple way with special effects for viewers to visualize what is being discussed. The fans all over the world were frustrated when they couldn't find any information whether the show is cancelled for season 2 or is going to be renewed. But recently the exec producer tweeted a hint of the series probably being picked up for the 2nd season although no release date has been set yet.

My friend Ron Risman (he runs cameratown.com) is doing yet another Timelapse Moab workshop (there was one for May but it sold out so quickly we couldn't get a post out in time!) – but great news, Ron has decided to add another workshop immediately after the May one to start June 2, 2014
Timelapse Moab Workshop: June 2014
June 2 – 6th, 2014.
Class size limited to 12:
Limited Seats Available
Registration & Info: www.TimelapseMoab.com/
I'm seriously considering going – I'm very interested in learning from Ron – as you can see from the notes below, they've had a great time at the last one!
About "Timelapse: Moab"
Timelapse: Moab is 5-day advanced dark-sky timelapse & photography workshop designed to teach you the skills needed to capture the night sky. The workshop will be held from May 27-31st, 2014 in Moab, Utah – home of Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point State Park. The workshop is centered around the dates of a new moon, giving you access to the most incredible dark skies you have ever seen.
Timelapse Moab Workshop will be limited to 12 participants in order to give each student plenty of personal attention between the two instructors and assistant instructors.
Timelapse Moab promo (for the Spring event)
Behind the Scenes: Timelapse Moab 2013
"In October 2013 a group of photographers got together for a workshop event called Timelapse Moab, where they learned how to capture time lapses and more importantly, time lapses of the night sky – under the new moon of Moab, Utah.
What makes this time lapse film different is that it was mostly captured by photographer's who were new to time lapse. The group had instruction over a 4-day period and were also given access to motion control gear. This film is the result of their work.. 3000 images, 4 days & nights. Ron, the instructor, also included a couple of clips of his as well."
Sample footage from 2013 Timelapse Moab
This breathtaking time-lapse film was captured under the dark skies of Moab, Utah. What makes this film different is that it was captured by photographers new to time-lapses, attending a time-lapse workshop. The group had instruction over a 4-day period and were also given access to motion control gear. This film is the result of their work after just a day or two of instruction. To round out the film a couple of my clips are included as well.
Two days before the start of the workshop the Government closed the National Parks as part of the Government shutdown. As a result, the group was led to other fantastic locations, which this film showcases. The true beauty of the area around Moab, Utah – from Canyons, Plateaus, State Parks and Arches that can be found outside of the National Parks.
Footage included from:
Kristina Thiesen
Chong Pak
Dan Berube

It is always expected for celebrities to look good in camera or whenever they are in public to maintain the public's perception of beauty. But Vice Ganda proves there is more in less.
In the Thursday's episode of It's Showtime's segment Advice Ganda, Jose Marie Viceral (Vice Ganda's real name) takes off her wig and make-up to show his real look and prove that it's not shameful to be yourself. His act was prompted by the problem of Pamela who asks his advice how to handle people who are bullying her because of her look.
In doing so, Vice was able to convey to Pamela and the madlang people that we shouldn't be ashamed of ourselves instead we should be proud of what we have and how we look. While make-ups and wigs can help enhance the natural beauty of people, it can always be taken off and will still reveal our natural look.
Shortly after that Vice Posted in his Instagram account his "unadulterated look" with the caption #proudtobeme"

6 Health Benefits of Riding an Electric bike
So you're thinking about getting an electric bike to improve your health? We all know regular exercise is important, We all know it needs to be consistent to reap any real benefits and most importantly, we all know it should be fun otherwise it's not sustainable.While you should always consult with your doctor first, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. For those of you who already get out and play regularly, that might not seem like much. For others who haven't made getting active a priority, this might seem daunting. The good news is electric bikes are a great way to ease into the habit and establish a powerful routine for you to reap the benefits of regular exercise for years to come. After all, it's what you do daily for long periods that actually counts. In fact, at the end of the day, good health is often the result of positive habits that all add up. Electric bikes are incredible as they are a fun and easy way for anyone and everyone to create a lifestyle that fits their exercise needs.
Electric bikes are a fun way to get some exercise
Before we dive into the 6 health benefits there are some misconceptions we'd like to clear up. As electric bikes are well, electric, a common misconception is that they are not for exercise. It's true, one can use these as an environmentally friendly vehicle to commute. Yes, it's possible to use and E-Bike as a luxury item and do very little if not no work at all. While those are some of their many benefits, they offer so much more. For those looking to get out and add some creativity to their workouts or a tool to work their way back into a routine, electric bikes are an amazing tool.
We love electric bikes because they are the great equalizer. That means for people who need to work their way up or have physical limitations they can now enjoy biking daily and growing at a safe and consistent pace while having fun and exploring.
They make biking accessible to riders who might need the extra help on their personal fitness journey. Be that someone looking to lose some weight but getting out there is just to taxing or perhaps other reasons are keeping you from being able to establish the daily habit of riding.
Electric bikes are a great tool regardless of your current physical abilities. For the rider who is already in incredible shape, you can introduce novelty to your workouts by going further and exploring new routes in less time for the same effort. You can climb terrain that might be a bit beyond you or just keep up with friends who are faster and more conditioned. This is huge for couples where one rider is in excellent shape while the other is not on the same level.
Long story short, the key to good health is to simply get moving from wherever you currently are.
Electric bikes promote weight loss
1. Exercise promotes weight loss
Riding your bike daily is the perfect way to kick start a fun exercise routine. Regular cycling can burn between 400 to 1000 calories an hour depending on your intensity. With an electric bike you can dive right in and get your heart rate up or you can progress slowly into it by using the pedal assist.
The great news is you don't necessarily have to work that hard to burn calories. Of course, the harder you work the more you will burn. In order to lose weight, the calories you consume must be less than the calories your body uses. This means calories burned between exercise and the calories your body uses just by being alive. While I could write 100 blogs on this topic alone, the point is riding an electric bike is an easy, and fun way to burn some extra calories.
If you have a regular weight regulation or weight loss plan, that's awesome! Incorporating a daily ride will help you accomplish your goals much faster and eat more if it fits your strategy. If not, no worries. Just getting out makes more of a difference than you think. With electric bikes, you can ease into a workout like this slowly. Make a game of it and start using a heart rate monitor to keep track of your daily burn. If you're a more casual rider, simply getting out there and pedaling daily is still a great step forward in a positive direction.
For those of you that just want to lose some weight, a daily ride is going to help! If you're interesting in learning more and getting technical about the math behind regulating your weight you can use this calculator.
Essentially it's a matter of balancing what you eat and what you do. The more you do, the more you can eat. Many opt for the diet route and that inevitably fails as it's not enjoyable or sustainable. Now balancing out this equation while eating the proper amount of healthy food, getting good nutrition and implementing fun exercise that's where long term success is found.
Electric bikes are low impact exercise
2. Its low impact
This is great for many reasons. For athletes who train hard, it's great to incorporate active recovery. Bodybuilders and strength athletes have advocated low intensity exercise to compliment their routines for years. Exercise like running is amazing for the body but it can be high impact and overtime it can wear some people down and may result in injury. An electric Bike is an incredibly fun tool to have in your fitness toolbox.
For beginners and non athletes, low impact exercise is sustainable and important. Electric bikes are an exciting way to add diversity to your routine or get one started. Walking has always been a popular choice but let's face it. You can only walk so far in so many directions before you start getting a little bored with your surroundings. Electric bikes are an exciting way to mix up your low impact training.
If you're just getting started on a fitness journey or simply need to incorporate some light exercise into your life, and electric bike is a fun tool to keep you motivated and it's something you can practice daily for a very long time. As your abilities improve you can eventually start incorporating higher intensity low impact training into your routine.
Regular exercise on an electric bike can improve your quality of sleep
3 It improves sleep
Riding regularly and moving is of course going to to tire you out but what you might not know is regular exercise can improve the quality of sleep too. A 35 year study from the University of Georgia conducted a study showing the correlation between fitness and sleep.
Specifically regarding aging and cardiorespiratory fitness. The study followed 8,000 men and women from 1971 to 2006. Effectively as we age, without regular exercise our fitness tends to decline. Exercise gets harder to sustain without regular practice. The good news is if you keep up with with minimum guidelines most you're more likely to maintain cardiorespiratory fitness.
With electric bikes, you can start with small easy exercise and work your way up to something sustainable and healthy for you. Not only are you having fun getting outside but you'll be improving your quality of life in general. When it comes to the importance of quality of sleep and good health I could write another blog on its own about the topic. Sleep is imperative for recovery, cognitive abilities and an essential piece of a healthy life. And let's be honest here. Who doesn't love getting a good nights sleep and waking up feeling ready to take on the day!
This study is available online here.
Getting daily exercise outside is good for your mental state
4. Biking is good for your mental state
Simply getting outside can do wonders for your sense of well being. Exercise is another factor and so is a sense of community. Getting involved in a sport has a myriad of benefits. Exercise can produce adrenaline and endorphins. Not only that but It reduces stress and allows you to live more in the moment.
Having something to practice or setting small goals yield a sense of purpose or mission. These things often bring excitement and joy into our lives.You'll be having more fun with more people and spending more time outside getting fresh air and sunshine. All the while spending time with others who are pursuing the same goals.I don't know about you but I can't think of anything better than that!
Most important is having fun and enjoying yourself. Nothing will improve your mood faster than smiling, laughing and having fun.
Some friends making time for health on the electric bikes
5. It can improve your memory
Another benefit of regular aerobic exercise is there are benefits for your brain as well.
According to Heidi Godman, Executive Editor at the Harvard Health Letter, there are great benefits for our mind and memory. The trick is you'll have to get to a point where you can get your heart pumping and you break a sweat. It seems that strength training, while important will not produce the same effects.
Regular aerobic exercise can help in the sense that it helps reduce insulin resistance, inflammation and it can stimulate chemicals in the brain affect the health of brain cells. Not only that, the improved sleep, the stress release and reduced anxiety will relieve the common cognitive impairment associated with these these issues. if that weren't good enough, getting enough aerobic exercise also aides in lowering the risk of Alzheimer's, dementia and serval types of cancer.
If maintaining a healthy memory, a better attention span and faster processing speed are important to you, getting regular exercise in on your electric bike will go a long way in safe guarding your brain as you age.
Get your heart rate up with that electric bike
6. It's good for your heart
Wan't to take care of your heart? Get it pumping! Meeting the guidelines will help lower the risk of heart disease, and high blood pressure. It will strengthen the heart and improve the cardiovascular system. It's commonly talked about that sitting is the new smoking so the best defense is to simply get outside and move.
a 30 minute daily ride will reap many benefits and allow you to get that heart rate up. It takes time to condition your heart and lungs. Riding at a pace that feels comfortable and fun will set the stage for improved workouts over time. The huge benefit of an electric bike is you can use the pedal assist to help when you're feeling tired or to simply go a bit further. Using the advantages of pedal assist to cover greater distance allow you to get this exercise while commuting, running errands, or just going out for a joyride in your neighborhood.
With many of these benefits intensity is a consideration. Speak with your health care provider before attempting any routines of intensity. That said, it's more important to make it fun and build momentum over time. One of the reasons we love electric bikes is they offer advantages to many who might have a difficult time establishing fun healthy habits.
They also offer advantages and fun benefits to seasoned athletes or aging athletes who are looking to go further, explore more and add novelty to their routines. They allow people of different physical abilities to have fun and exercise together and an appropriate intensity for the individual.
There you have it. 6 perfectly good health benefits of incorporating an electric bike into your routine. Or even better, 6 reasons to get a routine started with your electric bike.
Hopefully this article inspires you to get outside more and make your day what you want it to be.
