Dr. Herzog, I appreciate the article. Interesting statistics! I started my vegeterian life at 14 and from 28 to 38 I began to consume some seafood. However, I've gone vegan this year. My mom and I often discuss the cost of being vegan (pricey cost of organic veggies in the US) and I point out one major factor most statistics seem to miss! And that is, vegans/vegeterians live a healthier life, they get sick a lot less, need less medication & doctor visits and often couple their healthy eating habits with some form of exercise. At the end of the day, medicine, doctors and operations are a lot more costly than few bucks extra per pound on organic tomatoes.
-in my humble opinion-
Vegetarianism and Money: Surprising Results from a New Study
Are vegetarians more or less likely to live in high income households?
Posted Aug 24, 2015
On Saturday mornings in the summer, I head for the North Asheville Farmers' Market. The diversity and quality of produce at the market is impressive, but good veggies don't come cheap. Tomatoes are running $4 a pound this year as compared to $1.48 a pound for chicken breasts at my local supermarket and $2.28 a pound for pork loin. But last week, despite the cost, I did load up on the tomatoes.
That evening while my wife and I were enjoying a terrific tomato nicoise salad (here's the recipe), I asked Mary Jean whether she thought vegetarians tended to be better or worse off financially than the average American. "Are you kidding?" she said. "Most of the vegetarians I know seem pretty well off. I think they make more money than the typical American." I told her she was wrong, that I had just read on the website Faunalytics about a national survey of American food habits. It found that vegetarianism and veganism were more common among lower income groups than among people making more money. She said she didn't believe it.
Faunalytics (formerly called the Humane Research Council) is one of my go-to sources for information on animal issues. The blog post I read described a recent survey by the Vegetarian Resource Group. Over the last 20 years, the VRG has regularly commissioned large scale surveys of American diets (here). The 2015 VRG survey was conducted by the widely respected Harris Poll and was based on the responses of 2,017 American adults. (Details of the 2015 poll and the results are here.)
Current Trends in Vegetarian/Veganism
The 2015 VRG poll found that 3.4% of Americans are presently vegetarians; this incudes respondents who indicated that they never eat red meat, poultry, or fish. About 15% of the vegetarians were also vegans who, in addition to avoiding meat, did not consume dairy products. As shown in this graph, the percent of people who eat no meat at all is down slightly from the 2011 and 2012 polls, but I suspect this is due to random fluctuations in sampling rather than a meaningful trend.
I was not surprised that fewer than 1 in 20 Americans is vegetarian/vegan. Other national polls have obtained similar results. I was, however, very surprised by one of the Harris Poll findings: people with below average household incomes were much more likely to be vegetarians than people in higher income brackets. The VRG poll found that 7% of people in households with under $50,000 total income were vegetarians. (The median household income in the US is about $54,000.) By comparison, only 2% of people in the $50,000 to $75,000 bracket were vegetarian or vegan, 1% in the $75,000 to $100,000 bracket, and 2% in the over $100,000 household income bracket.
The Links between Vegetarianism and Income?
I confess that my intuition was the same as my wife's. I thought vegetarianism would be more prevalent among the affluent. How can we explain the fact that the VRG poll found just the opposite? A couple of my friends had innovative explanations. For example, my colleague Mickey Randolph (a long-time vegetarian) lamented the exorbitant prices she pays for organic non-GMO veggies, fruits and nuts. Half-joking, she told me vegetarianism makes people poor. But I don't buy Mickey's theory. Here are a couple of more plausible explanations for the income disparity between vegetarians and meat-eaters.
Age, Marital Status, and Lifestyle. Demographic and lifestyle differences may account for the income differences between meat eaters and vegetarians. For example, younger people in the survey were more likely to be vegetarians/vegans than the older adults. For example, 6% of survey respondents between 18 and 34 were vegetarians compared to only 2% who were over 55. Young people are also more likely to make less money than older adults as more of them are students or are starting their careers. In addition, young people are less likely to be married. Being single is associated with a lower household income, and this Gallup poll found that single people were nearly twice as likely to be vegetarian as people who are married. It is also possible that vegetarians and vegans make less money because they are more inclined to have alternative lifestyles.
Race. Another factor that could explain the income differences between vegetarians/vegans in household income is race. In the VRG poll, 7% of the Black respondents indicated that they did not eat any meat, as did 3% of Hispanic respondents. The VRG report does not mention the percentage of White respondents who were vegetarians. However, based on the overall rate of vegetarianism among the 2,000 respondents, it is likely that about 3% of White respondents did not eat meat. Note that another internet survey also reported higher rates of vegetarianism among minority groups. In the United States, the disparity between Black and White households is stunning. In 2013, the median income for White, Non-Hispanic households was $58,270 compared to $34,598 for Black households (here).
So, because of demographic and lifestyle differences it is certainly possible that vegetarians do tend to be less well off. But there is another factor that might explain the VRG study results even better – dumb luck.
Sampling "Error" and Public Opinion Polls
It is impossible to assess the attitudes and behaviors of Americans by interviewing every adult in the country. Hence pollsters use samples which are (in theory) randomly drawn and then statistically corrected to closely approximate the demographic profile of the entire population of American adults. The political polls that proliferate in the US during presidential election cycles are usually based on samples of about 1,000 respondents, and they have a margin of error of plus or minus 4%. This means that if 36% of respondents in a poll say they support a presidential candidate, there is a 95% chance that between 32% and 40% of people in the country as a whole actually favor the candidate. The differences between the true level of support in the population and the value obtained when you ask 1,000 respondents is called sampling error. Note that this is not really an error, just an inevitable consequence of using a sample to represent a much larger population.
Could sampling error be responsible for the Harris Poll finding that vegetarians and vegans come from poorer households than meat eaters? Yes. The reason is that when it comes to subgroups of a sample, the accuracy of surveys decline as the groups get smaller. The size of the total sample in the Harris Poll (2,016) was substantially larger than the typical national survey. But only 3.4% of the people questioned were vegetarians. As a result, if I did the math right, there were only 69 vegetarians and vegans in the sample.
The Vegetarian Resources Group's polls represent some of the best data on general trends in the percentage of Americans that are forsaking meat. And, it may well be that, as a group, vegetarians make less money than meat-eaters associated with differences in age, race, marital status, and life style. But it is equally likely that the disparity in household income found by the pollsters were the result of the random throw of the sample selection dice.
After all, can the diets of 69 people really represent the 8 million vegetarians and vegans in the United States?

An opinion of a vegan (recently gone vegan)
Dr. Herzog, I appreciate the article. Interesting statistics! I started my vegeterian life at 14 and from 28 to 38 I began to consume some seafood. However, I've gone vegan this year. My mom and I often discuss the cost of being vegan (pricey cost of organic veggies in the US) and I point out one major factor most statistics seem to miss! And that is, vegans/vegeterians live a healthier life, they get sick a lot less, need less medication & doctor visits and often couple their healthy eating habits with some form of exercise. At the end of the day, medicine, doctors and operations are a lot more costly than few bucks extra per pound on organic tomatoes.
Another hypothesis
It's entirely possible that many vegetarians grow some of their own food. Even with limited space there are community gardens and other options to grow food then you can share with friends and neighbors.
One possible explanation
Couldn't the relationship between vegetarianism and lower income be due to the high rate of female adherents?
sex differencesR
Rolf -- good point. And I thought of it too. However, while some surveys have found that females were considerable more likely to be vegetarian than men, this was not the case with the 2015 VRG study. The sex difference was small - think it was 3.7% of women and 3.0% of the males. So I don't think that sex differences in income would explain the disparity between veggies an omnivores. Hal
why organic?
This post and some comments seem to take as a given that vegeterian means eating organic and non GMO. While this may be true statistically, it does not follow logically, and I'm not even sure how large the effect size is. In fact, statistics would be interesting.

Best Productivity Apps for Android
The best profitability applications for Android keep your life running easily and productively. They enable you to get data you need and speak with others without inclination constrained by a little screen. Regardless of whether you have to connect with partners to refresh them on your work advancement or sign and return a record ASAP, the best profitability applications help you complete it and such that is perfect to the versatile condition.
Best Productivity Apps for Android
The quantity of applications in the Google Play store promising to make you progressively profitable regularly appears to be boundless. Be that as it may, few out of every odd application merits your time, cash, and consideration.
How We Choose the Best Productivity Apps for Android for tubemate apk 2020.
In settling on this rundown, we originally limited the top applications in the efficiency classification utilizing two criteria: all inclusiveness and setting. When we had a littler pool of applications for thought, we surveyed them utilizing extra criteria to discover those that are the best for a great many people.
For all inclusiveness, we searched for applications that intrigue to a general class of individuals, as opposed to those that lift profitability just in explicit businesses or expert jobs. For instance, visual craftsmen and internet based life administrators likely need a rich photograph altering application to work proficiently in a hurry, yet individuals in different positions probably won't have any requirement for one.
On the other hand, an incredible document matching up application has a lot more extensive application since it gives you access to your records regardless of where you are, for both individual and business related circumstances, which makes life progressively gainful all around.
Whenever you out of the blue need to create proof of your street number or your tyke's school records, you'll be happy to have introduced a document adjusting application. Simply make certain to spare significant documents there.
As far as setting, we asked, "What applications help profitability when you're far from your PC and an Android telephone or tablet is your essential web associated gadget?"
At last, we took a gander at the pool of applications we had up until this point and further surveyed them dependent on various emotional elements, including quality, usability, structure, and esteem. We allocated an optional classification to each application (other than "efficiency") and restricted our picks to one application from each.
Despite the fact that we picked just one "best" application in every optional class, you'll see a couple of decent notices for other brilliant applications when they're justified. Those applications are apparently almost tantamount to the ones picked for this rundown, and relying upon your circumstance, maybe a superior alternative for you.

Real Wealth
Real wealth is discretionary time. Money is simply fuel for your life. You can always make another dollar, but you can't make another minute. Don't let the pursuit of money erode your wealth.
– Alan Weiss
I instruct people about prosperity so that they are able to invest in possibility and increase their generosity.
Broke people don't have the option to do radical things with their lives. Your payments don't go away just because you've got a great opportunity or a dream to chase. They still expect to be paid. And your ability to step up and fill another's needs is limited by how much you need. Living a broke life puts your focus on constantly pursuing more money.
No matter what you might think, every class I lead, and every family I coach, and every word I write isn't about getting rich. I'm not interested in helping you become rich.
I'm interested in helping you become wealthy.

[…] more so. Our lives aren't all about our money, but money touches every part of our lives. Money is life fuel. Sex can't make that […]

Mauricio Pochettino refused to comment on the future of Danny Rose after Tottenham reached the final of the Audi Cup with a 1-0 win over Real Madrid.
Kane scored the only goal of the game midway through the first half in Munich when he latched onto Marcelo's mis-placed back pass and slotted past Keylor Navas in the Real goal.
Further chances came through Kane, Son Heung-Min and Dele Alli, while youngster Troy Parrott hit the post late on as Spurs fully deserved to book their place in Wednesday's final.
After the game, Pochettino said: "I think I am happy as we've played three tough games. It's a very unique pre-season for us.
"We are doing well but the most important is the feeling we are getting from all these training sessions and the games. We need to improve and hope the next few weeks we can compete at our best.
"We are looking to be better every single day. We want to start the season strong and out objective is to start in a good dynamic."
Read more: Real Madrid have reopened talks with Spurs over the possibility of sending Gareth Bale back to north London, according to reports.
Pochettino was also asked about the future of Danny Rose after the left-back made a return to the starting line-up, having been left out of the tour of Singapore and China to try and resolve his future.
He added: "I told you in Sinagpore and China. I was very clear with the situation of the squad. I don't know what I need to say as I was very clear in the past."

Atlantic City tourism has hit the lowest point since the early 1980s. This report comes from Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality & Tourism at Stockton University, which compared the numbers from Atlantic City visitation this year to those over the last three decades.
Their numbers show that tourist visits to the resort town were 24.1 million in 2017, which is a 1.2 percent decrease from 24.4 million in 2016.
Atlantic City hasn't seen a level this low since 1982, when there were 22.9 million visitors.
Tourism Rebound Coming in Atlantic City?
The good news is that Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming researchers believe that 2018 could be a rebound year.
The Press of Atlantic City reports that one reason for optimism is the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and Ocean Resort Casino. Other positive impacts will come from the opening of the Stockton University and the corporate headquarters of South Jersey Gas.
"We are seeing and hearing from businesses that everybody is feeling pretty good about the outlook for the coming season," said Joseph Kelly, who's president of the Greater Atlantic City Chamber President. "I think the look is optimistic toward 2018."
Hard Rock Atlantic City Will Really Provide a Boost
The Hard Rock really stands out among the new projects that are being built in Atlantic City. They're working on renovations of the former Trump Taj Mahal, and the new casino is expected to draw many to the East Coast resort town.
Matt Harkness, property president of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, told the Press of Atlantic City that he's very confident in where the new property is being built.
"I believe in the renaissance of Atlantic City and I am confident Hard Rock will set a new standard in this city and our region," said Harkness. "It will truly be unlike anything else this town has ever experienced."
Atlantic City has been hit hard by increased competition in the area in recent times. But the Levenson Institute report offers a glimmer of hope for 2018.

Hi, my name is Joanna, I started this blog in Jan 2017. I created posts about beauty, fashion, travel, rabbits, money blogging ect. Simply put: all the stuff I care about. After 10 months I realized my blog is not getting enough traffic so I dived into research. Till Oct 2017 I only had around 700 visitors on my blog per month. Then I implemented my Pinterest strategy and automated my pinning with my own build tool – PinMeApp. In Nov 2017 I got 3300 page views and then in Dec 2017 8500. That is how my app was born: PinMeApp. I wanted to help others grow traffic to their sites as well. Today I offer subscription for my app, but I also teach people my Pinterest strategy, step by step what I did to grow the traffic so fast, so this blog is now getting around 20k page views each month. I also offer Pinterest Management and implement my strategy for brands who want to reach their audience on Pinterest as well. My Pinterest account reaches over 5m people monthly.

In the aftermath of the discovery of the complicated and effective Stuxnet worm, Iran's intelligence minister Heydar Moslehi blamed western intelligence agencies for developing and unleashing the virus on thousands of Iranian computers. He has now announced on Iranian TV that his own intelligence team has captured "several spies" implicated in the plot to derail Iran's nuclear progress.
It is believed by many that Stuxnet was made specifically with the intention of sabotaging Iranian nuclear operations, and several accusatory fingers have been pointed Israel's way, but Moslehi's announcement seems to hold European countries and/or the U.S. accountable for the virus as well.
Stuxnet did indeed infect hundreds of the computers helping to keep Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear power plant, humming, resulting in a lot of damage control necessary on the part of the Iranians. Even though the plant's official launch ceremony was held on August 21, 2010, it seems that Bushehr's ability to generate power and electricity has been severely compromised and its true launch delayed.
Moslehi, however, has reported that appropriate counter measures to the worm have been developed and implemented: "I assure all citizens that the intelligence apparatus currently has complete supervision on cyberspace and will not allow any leak or destruction of our country's nuclear activities… Our domination of virtual networks has thwarted the activities of enemies in this regard."
Like anything coming out of the mouths of Iranian leadership, Moslehi's words cannot be taken at face value. Complete supervision on cyberspace? Domination of virtual networks? Seems hard to believe given the cyberspace sprawl and the mega attack recently suffered.
The identity of the arrested "spies" is unknown. Are they really spies, or just more hikers, nabbed under the 'spy' pretense, so they can be used as bargaining chips later on? Perhaps they are simply Iranians who disagree with the autocratic methods of their government. Any excuse for a crack-down.
Either way, Iran believes it has been the target of electronic warfare, and fully intends to up its defenses. Are the U.S. and Europe on the offensive?
Generally I don't read post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice article.

Spaghetti al limone is one of those recipes whose name is more complicated than its preparation. (That is, if you don't speak Italian. Sorry @Italiansmadatfood!) What we have here is a classic Italian dish of pasta in a lemon-cream sauce. Heavy cream. The good stuff.
Recently, editor in chief Adam Rapoport had the pappardelle al limone at I Sodi in New York, a Bon Appétit staff favorite Italian restaurant/pasta temple, and honestly, he wouldn't shut up about it. What makes it so special? "Butter," he told me. Yet it feels lighter than heavy cream sauce, he added, while another staffer called it "alfredo for people in denial." Digital director Carey Polis is maybe the biggest fan: "I mean, this sounds ridiculous but I really do feel this way: I lived in Italy for a year where I ate a pretty absurd amount of pasta, but I can't think of one I crave or love more than the pappardelle al limone from I Sodi." She wrote a book blurb for a plate of pasta, people! Sometimes we fixate on meals like this. We realized we didn't have a recipe, and needed one ASAP. Molly Baz was assigned to develop it, coincidentally tweaking small factors—the shape of the pasta, the amount of lemon zest—so we had to keep trying it, over and over.
But at its core, it's as simple as cacio e pepe, an uncomplicated weeknight dinner that sustains and comforts. That's a nice way of saying GIMME THE CARBSSSSS. Our sauce is the zest of a whole lemon (crucial for the unique, bright acidity of the final product), ¾ cup heavy cream, and butter. It emulsifies with some pasta water (the secret to restaurant-glossy pasta at home, another obsession of ours), and once you add the al dente noodles, it gets even creamier with the incremental addition of Parmesan. A final squeeze of lemon juice at the end "makes the fat...pop," explained Molly, which, uh, is a good thing. It brightens up the supremely creamy sauce and the touch of acidity is what keeps you coming back for twirl after twirl. Don't skimp on the salt to keep the balance in check.
Technique-wise, I talked to Molly about the line in the recipe about the cream sauce "tightening up," which is a bad thing. Translation: When a cream sauce cools, it thickens and loses its sauciness (like me at the fifth hour of your wedding). So you might end up using more starchy pasta water than usual to make up for that. Save two cups of pasta water to be sure!
A note on noods: We tested with pappardelle, but found different brands were inconsistent, some thicker than others, shorter than others. A short noodle isn't as satisfying to twirl into the sauce, and some thinner noodles broke into pieces in the thick sauce. We went with De Cecco spaghetti (our favorite), but any long noodle option will work. Follow your heart.

For a long time I have underestimated the comfort and necessity of a home base. I've always idolized the notion of living life with no ties, of jumping from place to place, of being unattached to material possessions. I was discussing identity with my boyfriend recently, talking about how places, things — even people — slide away so easily and abruptly. And here we are, continuing on, somehow still ourselves.
So I don't need a home base for definition or security. I've realized that more and more throughout my travels from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Krabi, Nagoya, and now to Tokyo. What I do need a home base for is comfort at the end of the day. Continue reading

thyssenkrupp Academy
'Agility in Action' program for group leaders across various business units and affiliates
To accelerate agile transformation at Thyssenkrupp, we collaborated with tk Academy and delivered a 4-months-long 'Agility In Action' program. Participants experienced agile principles and tools, "New Work" rituals, and innovative methods and cultures applicable in daily workflow as well as in large priority projects. Our program was designed to empower leaders to instantly implement rituals and tools – from a meeting revolution to OKR goal setting to Sprints and KANBAN workflow design.
"Berlin Innovation Agency is a very reliable and trusted partner to us. With its competent and enthusiastic team, Berlin Innovation Agency has provided us with a high quality 4-month program that helped business unit teams become more agile in their working and leadership ways. The strong network, passionate energy and entrepreneurial know-how in the topic of change and agility of Berlin Innovation Agency clearly make the difference. " Burcin Ugurlu, Program Director & Head of Strategy, thyssenkrupp Academy
Estée Lauder Companies
A grand transformation program breaking the silos between functional units and borders between country affiliates.
Over three years, we have developed and facilitated multiple programs for ELC EMEA and scaled them to dozens of country affiliates across the world. From Marketing transformation and data-driven decision making, to disruptive business models and radical customer centricity, to agile leadership and implementation of Sprint methodology – all our programs were fully tailored to the reality of the ELC organisation and market demands.
"I was part of a team that was challenged to transform our company in EMEA to do marketing dramatically different in 12 months, and in order to meet this challenge, we quickly realized that we could not go through the regular channels, including business schools, training organizations or consulting. Berlin Innovation Agency (BIA) and NUMA Paris were recommended to us through our network, and we were able to completely deliver our challenge. We worked with them in partnership and were able to design an innovative way of training and transformation that changed mindsets and ways of working and radically transformed our organization. We would not have been able to do this without the partnership and forward-thinking of NUMA in Paris and BIA in Berlin." Rhonda Bernard, Learning & Talent Development Director, Estée Lauder Companies EMEA

BIA supports TOTAL in project boosters, accelerating future leadership teams with their priority innovation projects. In intense 3-4 day Sprints, our Coaches facilitate an entrepreneurial simulation to a corporate challenge. BIA also facilitates learning expeditions in Berlin for TOTAL teams.
"BIA successfully helped a group of Total's talents accelerate the development of their innovation project with the support of coaches and best-in-class innovative and agile methodologies. The Bootcamp was a great way to provide the participants with new work methods and mindset principles." Christine Halliot, Head of Leadership & Development Solutions, Total SA
"I have taken part in several of BIA's activities - bootcamps and public events. Each time I was impressed by how professional and energetic their team was. As a speaker, I always felt well briefed and onboarded on the content and the type of event. It is clear that BIA's team truly cares about what they do - and they know how to do it well!"

From Bucket Hats to Pokémon: Breaking Down Yung Lean's Style
Yung Lean is perhaps one of the most polarizing, esoteric and weird figures on the internet. At just 19 years old, the Swedish artist and his Sad Boys rap crew have managed to attract legions of cult followers through a bizarre aesthetic that stems from a sense of Tumblr-tinged bedroom escapism, a fetishization of suburban ennui, early-mid 2000s pop culture, drugs and Arizona iced tea.
Since the release of his gauzy 2014 debut LP, Unknown Memory, Lean has successfully (and surprisingly) transitioned from YouTube troll oddity to bonafide niche sensation.
Now back with a sophomore album, Warlord, we examine several components that makeup up Yung Lean's artistry.
Chopped & Screwed
Yung Lean's sound is a bit hard to slap a tag on, but he's often considered a poster child of the so-called "cloud rap" subgenre. For those unfamiliar with the term, cloud rap (also called "trillwave") is pretty much Tumblr's answer to hip-hop music and is commonly defined via its reliance on ethereal, New Age-like atmospherics and sedated beats over decipherable lyrics and speedy rapping styles.
But while the obscure subgenre teeters on multiple territories within the sound sphere – dream pop, progressive trance, trap, ambient – cloud rap, at its core, bears the strongest similarity to chopped and screwed. With its gauzy, funereal aura and molasses-paced rapping, Lean not only taps into chopped and screwed's sonic characteristics, but the genre's originator, the late DJ Screw, was a purveyor of the purple, codeine-based beverage "lean," which the Swedish rapper has ripped in his namesake, lyrics and artwork.
Post-Internet Art
"Post-Internet" loosely refers to an art movement defined by aesthetics and cultures which have spawned via the internet, mainly resulting in the modes by which people communicate through it. It's a pretty controversial and broad term that's highly criticized in the art community, but social platforms like Myspace and Tumblr have been breeding grounds for Post-Internet artists.
Millennials are perhaps the biggest Post-Internet offenders, using their nostalgia of '90s pop culture and early exposure to cyberspace as paint for their URL-generated canvases. The movement has also been responsible for spearheading some of the most obscure micro-genres and subcultures in recent times, such as the Netscape-bred, aqua-tinged aesthetics of seapunk and the mystical, dystopian bearings of vaporwave.
Yung Lean is by and large a product of the internet and a leading example of a generation of youths who garner fame through social media. After his video for "Ginseng Strip 2002" went viral in 2013, Lean's visuals would be recognized by their lo-fi quality, amateur After Effects renderings and rapid-fire references to pop culture.
Often presented in spacey, collage-like layouts, the Sad Boy's videos are lacquered with things like retro 3D net graphics, Windows 95 typeface, floating Arizona iced tea bottles, Pokémon cards and Nintendo 64 avatars; bedroom escapism by way of a '90s baby looking to find solace in an iCloud fantasy, if you will.
2000s Fashion
Lean has been dubbed as a troll on multiple accounts: his half-assed rapping style, glamorization of depression and bad fashion sense. But hey, at least the guy does it with conviction. Born in 1996, the rapper was perhaps a bit too young to be binging on popular 2000s shows like Jersey Shore and the The Simple Life – Pauly D and Paris Hilton were probably not the best role models for a tween just hitting puberty – but he's certainly taken notice of the era's fashion trends.
Lean's steez can be described as a cross between Ed Hardy guido juicehead who frequents EDM festivals, meets Ugg boot-wearing, PSL-sipping basic bitch who loves the fall. But he doesn't limit himself to just those post-millennium American stereotypes; sometimes, the Sad Boy can be seen channeling Laguna Beach prepster jock complete with popped-collar Polo shirts and North Face fleece jackets, while other times he taps Viva La Bam sk8erboi wearing bucket hats and metal graphics-emblazoned long-sleeves (akin to his new line of merch). Part irony, part hot mess, all parts fleeky in our humble opinion.
With songs bearing titles like "Kyoto," "Yoshi City" and "Tokyo Drift," Lean's affection for Japanese culture is sprinkled into multiple facets of his work. Lean makes frequent references to childhood fads such as Pokémon, Manga and Nintendo in his lyrics, while visuals of the aforementioned are often found swirling about his videos or collaged together like a Shibuya billboard. Japanese characters are another big player in Lean's aesthetic, emblazoned on nearly everything from tour merchandise to album artwork.
Now that you know Yung Lean's aesthetic makeup, stream his latest album Warlord below.

Elevated Legacy Review – Is This A Good Opportunity Or Big Scam?
Elevated Legacy has been getting a lot of attention on the web lately.
Because there is so much hype, a lot of network marketers are trying to sell this opportunity all over the place, including all over social media.
I want to let you all know that I am NOT in any way promoting or selling Elevated Legacy.
I have simply gathered for you all the facts in this Elevated Legacy Review in order for you to make a proper decision about it.
So, is it true? Is Elevated Legacy a scam?
Can it really help you build an online empire?
Let's carry on with the review.
What Is Elevated Legacy?
In today's review, I'm going to be looking at a company by the name of Elevated Legacy.
Elevated Legacy is being run by Vincent Ortega, and if you've been a part of the MLM/online marketing world for a while, that name will be a lot to you.
Ortega is a pro when it comes to this line of work, so seeing that he's involved with Elevated Legacy is a really reassuring sign.
As for what his company has to offer, Elevated Legacy is all about providing people with the tools they need to be successful in the MLM/online world.
It's a bit different from the companies I usually review, but it's an important one that's still worth checking out.
What Are The Products For Elevated Legacy?
Moving right along to the products being offered by Elevated Legacy, you'll find a variety of tools that are designed to help people be more successful with their own online marketing efforts.
One item being offered is a capture page builder, and when it comes to marketing, this is one of the most important tools you can have.
For those that aren't familiar, a capture page is generally used to gather names and email addresses of people that visit your website. As more and more people enter this info, you can steadily build up a mailing list of various contacts that you can then try and turn into customers.
Capture pages are absolutely essential if you want to have a successful business venture, so the fact that this is one of the most prominent tools being offered by Elevated Legacy is great to see.
Along with this, you'll also find an email auto responder and blog creator.
The former of those two is a tool that allows you to automatically send out new emails and responses to people without having to manually type out a message each time, whereas the latter provides you with all the tools you need to create your very own blog.
Supplementing all of this, Elevated Legacy also has a website creation platform, marketing training courses, various website themes, and much more.
What's Does It Cost To Join Elevated Legacy?
If you're interested in joining Elevated Legacy for yourself, you'll need to pay for the tools being offered.
Is Elevated Legacy A Scam?
Have you heard from a friend that Elevated Legacy is a scam?
Based on this review, it might be hard to tell.
What exactly is the truth about Elevated Legacy – is it a scam or legit?
Good news – Elevated Legacy is not really a scam.
But, be sure to take a look at the conclusion, because there are some things you should be aware of.
This is how you will build a successful in your business.
Let me help you make more money.
Elevated Legacy Review Conclusion
So, what's the final say on Elevated Legacy?
If you're looking for educational materials and/or tools to help enhance your own online marketing efforts, there's a lot to like for what's being offered here.
I wouldn't necessarily say that Elevated Legacy should be your only source for this kind of info, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to add it to your list of available resources.
There's no such thing as getting too much help when it comes to this sort of thing, and based on what I'm seeing, Elevated Legacy has a winning collection of training and software to help you with whatever you're setting out to achieve with your online marketing.
I can't guarantee that what you'll learn from the company will turn you into a millionaire, but if you take the material seriously and apply it the way you're taught, there's no reason you can't be successful with what you're trying to accomplish.
I sure hope that you have found my Elevated Legacy review helpful for you.
Some other reviews have been pretty scant on details, and I wanted my Elevated Legacy review to have all the information for you.
If you decide to carry forward with Elevated Legacy, make sure you make the most out of it and learn how to market yourself online.

Reviewing the recent developments we no support many more use cases in BIM and AEC space. By loading Revit, IFC, GlTF, CPIXML and also DWG, DXF we do have a solid foundation. Many BIM project management solutions are cloud based today where 3DViewStation WebViewer is the perfect visualization solution. But we do also support Desktop and VR use cases. Read more.
SMEs (small and medium enterprises) internally typically work file based, storing all their CAD and project files in folders of their file server. But employees of SMEs are mobile too and we all know the situation of getting an urgent call while travelling, being asked for immediate assistance.
What can we do, if we now would need access to our 3D CAD models, 2D drawings or any project related documentation?
The easy solution is a Web based application that – after logon of course – will provide a "file open" dialog, which we all know from our Desktop applications. But in the case of working Web based this "file open" dialog needs to point to a directory of one of OUR servers, allowing to browse through files and sub folders, and open files from there. Of course the server of this Web application will run on our infrastructure – so in the same network, where our files reside.
Advantages of this approach are:
Here is an example of a solution and how it could look like on a Smartphone. More details here.
We have done a new video showing the news of Kisters 3DViewStation WebViewer v2016.1. Available here as MP4 or on YouTube.
a little video showing the upcoming 3DViewStation WebViewer 2015 version on various devices. 3DViewStation WebViewer 2015 and 3DViewStation Desktop & ActiveX will have same performance, same functionality, same APIs. English version here.

Misleading Book Covers
Suppose your publisher chose a book cover that was incorrect or didn't match the contents of the book. Let's say, for example, the cover of a mystery novels depicts a bottle of poison (you know, with the skull and crossbones on the label), but the story does not include the use of poison, nor does it hint at poison, nor is poison included in the plot as a "red herring".
As factually unsuitable as this hypothetical cover may be, the publisher wants to use it (maybe the marketing department said it was a good choice...?).
Should the author be allowed to veto the choice of the book cover or not?
Looking forward to your replies... Jill

The key word here is "should." Yes, should. Definitely should. Can? From what I hear, no. We can say "Don't judge a book by its cover" until the cows come home, but the bottom line is that people judge books on just that. I don't even pick up books with bad covers. I know what I look for in a book, and I assume a publisher will try to match up contents to cover. But just look at Twilight. Those covers are completely obscure, one could argue even unrelated, but they are very different from the rest of the genre. Seems to have worked out for her.ReplyDelete
I keep telling myself that I would rather not be published than have my book published with a bad cover. My pet peeve is when the cover depicts the main character, especially since I write fantasy. Nevermind the fact that the image never matches up to the author's description, but I like to create my own image thank you! Covers are a sore spot with me. But, when it comes down to it, it may be one of the things I have to sacrifice. I'm not looking forward to that...
A book cover should connect to the story... I buy tons of books just by the cover.ReplyDelete
I wouldn't be happy, thats for sure.

I think the person who writes the book knows what message they want to convey on the cover. The publisher should be a vehicle for the book and should not interfere with the author's vision. Although I loved the first book, the cover was gory and it showed a bride with a knife and lots of blood, something that did not reflect the book's nature. A publisher should back their authors, not work against them...ReplyDelete

I remember a book cover that depicted a black woman when the heroine of the story was white (not a black female in the novel anywhere). That was pretty controversial, too. I think it shows the cutbacks that are taking place: graphic artists are rarely paid to read the books they are asked to prepare the covers for. I sat next to one such artist on a flight who said she often simply gets a summary (the blurb on the dust jacket).ReplyDelete

I agree that covers should connect to the story line. Sometimes it's as if the editor did not read the book because the cover is so far removed from the story line. I gave a copy of Blood and Groom to my friend for x-mas and when I asked if she read it yet, she said she wasn't into gory stuff! Only after I reassured her that it wasn't anything like the cover did she not only read it, but told me she really enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
Writing a book and getting it published is like having a baby, and you wouldn't let someone else dress your baby for you!
The author should present it the way they feel their book should be seen! It's was never the publisher's vision that brought this book to life!

Amidst the decadence that runs rife in Victorian London, European Arts' adaptation of the Wildean classic The Picture Of Dorian Gray at Trafalgar Studio 2 grants a young man the chance of possessing eternal beauty – for the small price of his soul.
Adapted by Wilde's very own grandson Merlin Holland, along with John O'Connor, this Faustian tale sees a beautiful young man called Dorian Gray slowly become infatuated with the sheer perfection of a portrait painted of him by his friend, Basil Hallward.
Obsessively determined to preserve the handsomeness encaptured by Basil, he makes a pact with a sinister force to ensure he will remain forever young – while the picture grows old in his stead.
Combining drawing-room comedy and gothic horror, this is a gripping, engrossing and hugely entertaining theatrical event.

One of the sport's deepest divisions will have the spotlight on it this weekend at UFC 230, when four middleweight bouts feature on the night's main card. Outside of the main event heavyweight title fight between champion Daniel Cormier and challenger Derrick Lewis, every other fight on the pay-per-view portion of the event is an important fight at 185 lbs. With UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker slated to take on Kelvin Gastelum in early 2019, this card is going to help determine the next title contender for the belt. Suffice it to say that it's "middleweight mania" this weekend.
The most prominent of the four middleweight bouts on the main card is the co-main event, which sees former champion Chris Weidman take on Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in a battle between two of the best fighters in the world at 185 lbs. This bout was originally supposed to be a rematch between Weidman and Luke Rockhold, but the card had a late switch-up and now Sozua steps up in what is arguably a more important fight. Weidman is coming off of a submission win over Gastelum, and was only passed over for the title shot because the UFC doesn't trust him to stay healthy. If he can beat Souza in impressive fashion, he will likely be next in line for a shot at the winner of Whittaker vs. Gastelum. Of course, Jacare doesn't want that to happen. The veteran BJJ wizard is coming off of a close split decision defeat to Gastelum, and if he can beat Weidman he would be right back in the driver's seat for a rematch against either Gastelum or Whittaker.
The Weidman vs. Souza fight is likely going to determine the next middleweight title contender, but don't sleep on the importance of the PPV card's opening bout. Undefeated prospect Israel Adesanya will be taking on Derek Brunson in a bout that could have title implications. Adesanya is 14-0 in MMA, including 3-0 in the UFC, and he just dominated durable veteran Brad Tavares for five rounds in his last fight. The UFC loves this guy, and it's giving him the opportunity of a lifetime with a fight on the big stage in New York City on a huge PPV card. If Adesanya can go out there and knock Brunson out, he might be able to jump ahead of the Weidman vs. Souza winner for a title shot. Brunson is a great test for Adesanya at this point of his career, and it certainly won't be an easy fight, but this looks like a matchup the UFC booked to get its new star a big win, and you know UFC President Dana White and co. would love to push him up the ladder as quickly as possible.
Also on the main card are two additional intriguing middleweight bouts: David Branch vs. Jared Cannonier and Jack Marshman vs. Karl Roberson. Branch is of course the most notable name among these four fighters, but the fact that the UFC put them all on the main card is not a coincidence. The promotion clearly wants to feature the middleweight division highly on this card, and it is making sure there are enough 185-pound fighters to account for injuries or bad weight cuts. The middleweight division has been in a bit of a holding pattern with Whittaker and Gastelum coaching TUF and the champ still needing time to heal up, but the UFC clearly wants the weight class to be set up for the near future.
At UFC 230, eight middleweights will be in action, and when the event is over, we should have a much better idea of what the division looks like. It's nice to see the UFC taking precautions and booking as many middleweights as it can for this card, as we all know it hasn't in the past. But clearly, the UFC sees this weekend's card as a great opportunity to shine a big spotlight on one of the best divisions in the game. After a tough year for the middleweight division with Whittaker being injured, the state of 185 lbs is going to look a lot different come Sunday morning. And that's a good thing.
UFC 230: Cormier vs. Lewis takes place November 3, 2018 at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

Bruno, Davide and Reiss, Philip T. and Petkova, Eva and Sidtis, John J. and Pomara, Nunzio (2013) Decreased Recall of Primacy Words Predicts Cognitive Decline. Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 28 (2). pp. 95-103. ISSN 1873-5843Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
One of the cognitive changes associated with Alzheimer's disease is a diminution of the primacy effect, i.e., the tendency toward better recall of items studied early on a list compared with the rest. We examined whether learning and recall of primacy words predicted subsequent cognitive decline in 204 elderly subjects who were non-demented and cognitively intact when first examined. Our results show that poorer primacy performance in the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test delayed recall trials, but not in immediate recall trials, is an effective predictor of subsequent decline in general cognitive function. This pattern of performance can be interpreted as evidence that failure to consolidate primacy items is a marker of cognitive decline

Yves Rocher's history begins in 1959 when the founder began producing his first product, "lesser celedine" cream. His original approach of selling the cream by mail order succeeded in cementing the brand in the minds of the French public, leading to an expansion of the range, and ultimately the opening of the first store in Paris in 1969. One addition to the Yves Rocher catalogue was fragrance and, over the years, the company has produced over two hundred scents. From Cléa to Ming Shu and Nature Pour Homme to Eryo, Yves Rocher has always provided good quality fragrances.
For the release of their 2017 Oui à l'Amour, Yves Rocher turned to Sophie Labbé to create the scent. The daughter of a French winegrower, Sophie trained at ISIPCA before joining IFF (International Flavours & Fragrances) as a junior perfumer. Her record of creations is impressive, with Cologne 68 for Guerlain, Very Irresistible for Givenchy and 154 for Jo Malone London, but for Oui à l'Amour Sophie said that she wanted "a representation of boldness and passion … the unexpected encounter between a sparkling freshness and a vibrant sensuality." It's quite a challenge but one which she has executed perfectly.
Oui à l'Amour opens brightly with a red berry scent that is given a crispness from the addition of angelica. This helps to keep it uplifted, rather than have the usual sugary quality associated with many of the current "berry accords", because it adds a green touch to the fragrance. A peppery note bridges the appearance of the rose and this is where the scent really shines. The roses used include an IFF-LMR Rose Essential, which gives much more of a petal aspect, and perfectly compliments the heavier, richer and fruity quality of the usual Damask rose.
The development of the fragrance does echo the original "vibrant sensuality" request, with the tonka bean warming the floral, but a very well balanced cedwarwood combines beautifully to give a final dry down which is not overly sweet. Cedarwood is always thought of as a very "elegant" ingredient and, used here, achieves that perfectly for Oui à l'Amour. If Yves Rocher is a new company to you then I would advise you to start with this one and then branch out into one of the other collections, there are plenty to choose from.
Oui à l'Amour is currently available in boutiques and online priced at £21.99 for 30ml or £32 for 50ml (regular price is £43 and £64)

Having never run a marathon before, I decided that The Glencoe Marathon would be my first.
Why? I simply didn't fancy running that distance on tarmac. There was no further thought process. If I was going to run that kind of distance, it would be on trail. With 5 days to go, I'm starting to use my brain a bit more. I thought it could be interesting to some of it down on paper.
The Route
Distance: 26.2 miles | Elevation: 1330 meters | Terrain: Mostly trail
I think everyone wishes they had trained a little more. That is definitely me right now. I could have gotten one more run in (maybe even per week), stuck to the training plan better early on, not ditched the run just because it was a little windy (Thank you storm Ali!)
However, I'm happy enough with the distance that I've trained. I'm pretty confident that I'll make it to the end. Of a flat marathon.
That elevation though! Most of the race follows the West Highland Way. I've walked the route before. I have however been pig-headedly ignoring quite how much height climbed happens on this course.
1330 meters. That is pretty much the height of Ben Nevis! Send help.
I'm still feeling pretty positive overall though. Throughout my training, I have found a real joy in trail running. It's so different from the roads, and I have caught myself having a giggle at the wee vole running across my path, stopping to move frogs out of danger and trying to race the pipits flying alongside.
The Kit
The route has some pretty remote segments, so there is a mandatory kit list for race day. As well as figuring out what socks keep my feet blister free, I've had to figure out running with a rucksack for the first time. I've borrowed a wee bag that is exactly the right size, and I'm sure that it'll be packed and repacked several times over between now and Sunday.
The biggest revelation for me has been a baseball cap. In Scotland, the main task of this garment is not too keep the sun off your face. On no. It's to keep the rain out of your eyes when it's coming down by the bucket load! I've had a few training runs where I have been massively thankful for my wee cap!
My trail shoes have been cleaned and are ready to go. I have got the exact socks, leggings and t-shirt looked out (Thnks MND Scotland for sending me a running teeshirt!). I just hope it doesn't rain too hard. My wee jacket is great, but I hate wearing it when I run.
Many proper runners have an exact schedule of energy gels, a hydration plan and some kind of scheme that includes at least half a banana somewhere along the course.
I have a more ad-hoc plan to eat some porridge, pack a cereal bar and get by on a pack of party sized mars bars along the course. It's worked so far in the training and I fear that I have left it too late to try anything new.
I have been guilty of stopping for a snack of blaeberries during my training (they're super tasty!) but it might not be an option on race day.
The Playlist
This is the bit I still need some help with. I think I might be running for up to 7 hours. I'm hoping it's less, but there are a lot of hills That's a lotta tunes I'm going to need to keep me going.
I've powered through my training with Brian Fallon, Frank Turner, Pink and the occasional Greatest Showman hit. (That's a lie, there has been A LOT of The Greatest Showman)
I'm looking for song suggestions to keep me motivated.
While donations to MND Scotland would be massively appreciated (JustGiving link here), if you're skint, you've already sponsored someone to do something mad already this month or you just don't know me particularly well, a song suggestion would be massively appreciated!
Here's to Sunday, a pint and hanging up my trainers for at least a week!

I am working on a matrix of data sources for my splunk deployment.
I need to map my data sources -collection method (for example firewalls, DC(s), servers and other appliances) from forwarders or syslog or other log feeds.
Many of the data sources were setup prior to my involvement.
How would one take on the is challenge and no - forwarder monitoring is not enabled.
Thank you
I suggest a couple of things. First, just get a list of basic info in your Splunk instance by running this search command
| tstats count where index=* by host index sourcetype source
Of course, the host that appears in the list might be overridden at some point during parsing, but it is often the same host name as the original forwarder or source. It's a good starting point.
Second, the Splunk indexers will keep some information in their internal logs, which are automatically indexed into _internal. Splunk forwarders send their internal logs to the indexers by default. So even if you don't have forwarder monitoring, you should still have the fowarder logs unless this has been explicitly disabled by your predecessor. And you should turn on forwarder monitoring, it doesn't cost anything to do it.
You can also run a variety of searches against the internal index. The Metrics component only collects information about the top 10 sources during each time interval, so it will not be complete information, but this search may still be helpful:
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=Metrics group=per_source_thruput
| chart sum(ev) by series host | rename series as source
The above search shows the number of events for each source. If you don't care about that, you can get a more complete list from this search:
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd component=WatchedFile | stats list(file) as Files by host
This shows all the file inputs. For searches in the _internal index, the host name is the name of the forwarder that is sending the data. In other indexes, the host name for the file will be based on the setting in inputs.conf, so these host names could be different.
And there is more, but this should get you started.
Thank you Lisa!!!
Not sure if you are still looking at this... but in my splunk DMC instance, under settings>monitor console> Forwarders: Instance, I can see the KB/s data rate per universal forwarder, however I cannot see a GB/day volume anywhere.
Do you have some search syntax to convert KB/S to GB/day volume? Or is there another report somewhere?
Thank you
