It's hard to believe we've reached the end of another year. Wasn't New Year's Eve just a few months ago? It's not until we look back on some of the most memorable moments of 2018 that we realize how much time has actually passed.
Below, we've rounded up some of the top trends you definitely tweeted about, but may have forgotten… until now.
You probably remember seeing lots of videos last winter of kids – and, somehow, adults – participating in the Tide Pod Challenge by putting Tide Pod laundry detergent packets in their mouths to see how long it took for the Pods to dissolve. At least, we think that was the point of the challenge… assuming there was any point to it at all.
Understandably, Tide wasn't thrilled that people were ingesting its products. The Tide Pod Challenge was a danger to public health, and a crisis for the brand.
Rather than ignore the problem or simply release a bland statement telling people not to consume its detergent, Tide partnered with NFL star Rob Gronkowski to get its point across.
What should Tide PODs be used for? DOING LAUNDRY. Nothing else.
Eating a Tide POD is a BAD IDEA, and we asked our friend @robgronkowski to help explain. pic.twitter.com/0JnFdhnsWZ
— Tide (@tide) January 12, 2018
The entertaining video generated 228,000+ conversations on Twitter, got 185,000+ Likes, and nearly 91,000 retweets. This was a great example of a brand turning a crisis into a fun teaching moment.
Lebron James' talent and mass-appeal have made him a staple in the media. In April 2018, Foot Locker decided to build off of this popularity by featuring him in a simple but effective tweet that called King James' fans to action.
Foot Locker asked asked fans to "RT if LeBron James is the best player you've ever seen." The request led to nearly 7,500 retweets, and generated more than 24,000 conversations.
RT if Lebron James is the best player you've ever seen.
— Foot Locker (@footlocker) April 26, 2018
Considering the brand spent $182 million on advertising last year and this single tweet was its most-mentioned campaign, we consider it a slam dunk.
Raking in $2 billion of gross revenue, it's fair to say that Avengers: Infinity War left its mark on movie-goers. (So much so, that Avengers: Endgame recently broke the record for most-watched movie trailer, beating out – you guessed it – Infinity War.)
As viewers were left with so many raw emotions following Infinity War's powerful ending, smart brands took note and drew on these feelings in their marketing content. Unsurprisingly, Wendy's brought the snark.
Calling out its competitor's frozen beef patties, the Wendy's tweet riffed on Peter Parker's final moments on screen before his dramatic dissolution into dust. The bold-yet-understated post clearly struck a chord with online audiences, getting more than 233,000 Likes, 76,000 retweets, and sparking thousands more conversations.
When your brand is synonymous with breakfast and pancakes, announcing a rebrand that's focused on burgers is understandably jarring for customers.
Back in June, IHOP informed the public that it would be changing its name to IHOb — and that the "b" didn't stand for breakfast, but for burgers. People had a lot to say about this change, leading to almost one million online conversations around the rebrand.
For 60 pancakin' years, we've been IHOP. Now, we're flippin' our name to IHOb. Find out what it could b on 6.11.18. #IHOb pic.twitter.com/evSxKV3QmT
— IHOP (@IHOP) June 4, 2018
Though it was eventually revealed to be a short-lived marketing ploy, IHOP achieved its goal of not only starting conversations, but more importantly quadrupling its burger sales.
As we've seen in the other examples mentioned, sometimes the simplest tweets have the greatest impact. Such was the case when Burger King literally called out Budweiser in the following post:
.@budweiserusa ☎ brring brring brring brring
— Burger King (@BurgerKing) June 26, 2018
Burger King didn't even need words to garner attention, the phone emoji and "brring brring" were all it took for people to respond in droves. Other brands even joined the conversation, including Steak-umm, Havana Argentina, and others.
— Steak-umm (@steak_umm) June 28, 2018
— Havanna Argentina (@Havanna_arg) June 28, 2018
The energetic exchange was part of a campaign announcing the limited edition American Brewhouse KING Sandwich. In all, the tweet spurred 129,000+ conversations on Twitter. But most importantly, it revived Budweiser's iconic 1999 Super Bowl "Whassup" spot.
While the above social media wins are just a tiny fraction of the moments that got our attention in 2018, it's clear that people respond well to food, sports, and viral challenges. In the New Year, we can probably expect to see similar trends play out, in addition to the usual political tirades we've become accustomed to. Also, Fortnite.

By Sunil Dang
The recent spike in crude prices is attributed to series of factors including OPEC production cut and geopolitical situations in countries like Venezuela, Libya, Nigeria and Iran. But, there are some domestic angle involved in this skyrocketing fuel prices, such as, heavy taxation. It would be interesting to know for the readers that in India, there are around 93 percent cumulative taxes on petrol and near 68 percent cumulative tax levied on diesel. Around 47 percent of the retail petrol price and roughly 40 percent of retail diesel price are due to taxes levied by centre and state government. The central excise is now 25.4 percent of the retail price of petrol in Delhi while state value-added tax (VAT) share is 21.3 percent. People are paying these taxes to both state and the central government. As global oil prices continues to hit the roof, neither Centre nor state government seemed to be opting for an immediate cut in the excise duties on petrol and diesel whose prices have reached new highs. It is keen to take the state governments on board for a plan to bring these fuels under the goods and services tax (GST).
Ironically, the central government and some of the opposition parties are finding long-term solution to the problem of fuel price hike by putting the entire range of petroleum products under the purview of GST. But, in my view, even a switch to the highest GST rate of 28 percent won't suffice to equate tax revenue with the current arrangement, leading to revenue loss for theGovernment. Apart from the rising global crude price and the assorted taxes levied by the Centre and states, increasing dealer commissions too have inflated the retail prices of auto fuels. For instance, when the average retail selling price of diesel in Delhi was Rs 57.20 a liter in May 2014, the dealer commission was Rs 1.19 per liter or 2 percent of the retail selling price; in May 2018, the fuel's retail price in the city is Rs 67.77 a liter (average) and the dealer commission is Rs 2.53 a liter, or 4 percent of the retail price. The commission is clearly increasing faster than the overall price rise. It is estimated that every $1 increase in crude price demands an increase of around 63 paisa per liter in the prices of both diesel and petrol, and a Re 1 depreciation against the dollar requires a 50 paisa increase in the prices of these fuels.
When the Modi government took over, global crude oil prices were crawling below $25 per barrel and on numerous occasions, Prime Minister Modi was found claiming 'being lucky' for the crude oil priceshad crashed around the time he came into power. . Taking advantage of the global crude oil price swing, the Modi government used the surplus money which Indian government earlier used to spend on oil subsidy to curtail its fiscal deficit. In other words, the government did not pass on the benefit of the tumbling crude oil prices directly to the consumers. However, now when the prices have started to scale up, they have chosen to increase the fuel prices rather cut the taxes levied on it. Here, I would like to remind both Narendra Modi government and my readers that similar scenario was there when Rajeev Gandhi took over. At that time global crude oil prices were at its lowest levels and rather decreasing the petroleum products prices, Rajeev Gandhi decided to create an oil pool account that would be used when crude oil prices would soar. This oil pool account became quite handy when the Gulf War happened in between August 1990 to Feb 1991. In that period, crude oil prices skyrocketed and the oil pool account was used by the then central government to provide relief to Indian consumers. Had Modi learnt from this successful experiment of Rajeev Gandhi, this price rise in crude oil could have been countered with ease.

The confrontation at the bridge
How Katrina unleashed a storm of racism
October 14, 2005
reprinted with permission of Socialist Worker
ERIC RUDER reports on a confrontation at a bridge out of flooded New Orleans–between armed police and people trying to get out of the devastated city.
THE HUNDREDS of people–a mixture of New Orleans residents and tourists–finally felt hopeful after days stranded in flooded New Orleans without adequate supplies of food and water. A police commander had instructed them to walk to a highway bridge that would take them across the Mississippi River to the West Bank, where buses were waiting to evacuate them from the flood zone.
But as they reached the foot of the bridge, armed deputies blocked their way. Before the group could even approach the bridge, the police fired their weapons in the air.
The crowd dispersed, returning to an uncertain fate in New Orleans rather than risk being shot. But a few people refused to go away without an explanation.
"As the crowd scattered and dissipated, a few of us inched forward and managed to engage some of the sheriffs in conversation," wrote Larry Bradshaw and Lorrie Beth Slonsky, two San Francisco Emergency Medical Services workers who were trapped in the city after a paramedics convention. "The sheriffs informed us that there were no buses waiting. We questioned why we couldn't cross the bridge anyway, especially as there was little traffic on the six-lane highway. They responded that the West Bank was not going to become New Orleans, and there would be no Superdomes in their city.
"These were code words for: if you are poor and Black, you are not crossing the Mississippi River, and you are not getting out of New Orleans."
Larry and Lorrie Beth's account of this confrontation, first published in Socialist Worker, made its way around the world via the Internet–and eventually was reported by the mainstream press, which corroborated the details.
Their story showed in shocking detail how race and class condemned thousands of New Orleans residents to a nightmarish ordeal in the aftermath of Katrina. But follow-up reports about the showdown between desperate people trying to evacuate New Orleans and the police of Gretna–the town that lies at the other end of the bridge people were trying to cross–demonstrate a deeper reality about racism in America.
As even mainstream media outlets eventually admitted, what took place at the bridge over the Mississippi wasn't a misunderstanding or even a regrettable mistake.
"Little over a week after this mostly white suburb became a symbol of callousness for using armed officers to seal one of the last escape routes from New Orleans–trapping thousands of mostly Black evacuees in the flooded city–the Gretna City Council passed a resolution supporting the police chief's move," reported the Los Angeles Times on September 16.
"This wasn't just one man's decision," said Mayor Ronnie Harris. "The whole community backs it."
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
GRETNA POLICE Chief Arthur Lawson claimed that he had little choice but to shut down the bridge. He says that his officers used buses to evacuate some 5,000 people who had walked across the bridge in the first days after New Orleans' levees broke–and that it was only after looters and arsonists had set fire to nine stores in a Gretna mall that he decided to shut down the bridge.
National Public Radio reporter John Burnett summed up Lawson's explanation this way: "Chief Lawson would like to know without communication, food, water, enough buses and gasoline, how long would it take another American city to reach the limits of its compassion?"
But the Gretna cops aren't the selfless humanitarians their chief makes them out to be. Vermont National Guard troops stationed in Gretna after Katrina told reporters from the Rutland (Vt.) Herald that the cops were making incursions into Black neighborhoods looking for confrontations.
When the Gretna deputies asked several Vermont soldiers how things were going and were told that their duty was "boring," one of the deputies said, "I guess we'll go make a run through there to see if we can stir some [stuff] up." "They said they went back in there, and kicked everybody's door in," said Vermont guardsman Sgt. Francis Estey.
Staff Sgt. Eric Crammond said the officers took a much harsher attitude toward residents than the Vermont soldiers. "They're talking the way we used to talk when we were in theater," said Crammond, who recently returned from Iraq with the rest of the unit. "They were in there the better part of an hour. [The residents] are pretty intimidated."
What's more, Chief Lawson shut the bridge to foot traffic, but allowed people in vehicles to cross–meaning that the ticket to escape New Orleans was an automobile to take you there.
"If you look at the chief's early comments, before he started trying to clean up his act, his whole concern was that when he looked and saw people trying to get out of New Orleans, he didn't see human beings in need, or neighbors who needed help," Larry told Socialist Worker. "He saw 'criminals'–that is, African American people–and that seemed to be his primary concern.
"The chief has also said repeatedly as his justification that he didn't have any food, water or shelter, so he was stopping us for our own good. But we never at any point asked them for food, water or shelter. Our goal was purely to extricate ourselves from the scene of a major disaster. And we were prepared to walk as long and far as necessary to do that. If they offered us food, water and shelter, we wouldn't have turned it down. But there was never an expectation that Gretna was going to provide that for us.
"We're worried that the politicians of Gretna are engaged in this language of division, discord and drawing lines, and by sanctioning the chief's actions, they're defining themselves as an 'us,' and everyone else as a 'them.'"
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
GRETNA POLICE weren't the only ones stoking fears about senseless violence committed by the marauding residents of New Orleans.
"Five weeks after Hurricane Katrina laid waste to New Orleans, some local, state and federal officials have come to believe that exaggerations of mayhem by officials and rumors repeated uncritically in the news media helped slow the response to the disaster and tarnish the image of many of its victims," reported the Washington Post. "There turned out to be little evidence to support CNN host Paula Zahn speaking of 'reports' of 'bands of rapists, going block to block,' or New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin on national television, describing the scene as 'animalistic.'"
Former New Orleans Police Chief Eddie Compass appeared with Nagin on The Oprah Winfrey Show to claim that "babies" were being raped in the Superdome–a story he later recanted. And despite Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-La.) report of injured and killed deputies, only one law enforcement official was shot–and the wound to his leg was the self-inflicted result of a struggle.
Major Ed Bush of the Louisiana National Guard was dismayed that the residents of New Orleans were depicted so cruelly. "I certainly saw fights, but I saw worse fights at a Cubs game in Chicago," he said. "The people never turned into these animals. They have been cheated out of being thought of as people who looked out for each other. We had more babies born [in the Superdome] than we had deaths."
Worse, the racist panic–unleashed by elected officials, police and the media spreading unsubstantiated rumors–undoubtedly hampered relief efforts and led to needless death and suffering.
"One of the nightmares of white America is the idea of a mob of Black people," reads an editorial in the Montpelier (Vt.) Times-Argus. "It is a nightmare born of deep fears that go back to the days of slavery. Nothing was more threatening to white America back then than the idea of a slave revolt and the ravishment of white womanhood…
"[T]he stories of rampaging Blacks might well have become exaggerated because they played perfectly into white fears. Those are the fears that led law enforcement officials, not to help, but to turn people away when they were fleeing a flooded city. They are the fears that gave white police officers license to terrorize Black neighborhoods."
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
LORRIE BETH says that the media interest in their story has been "awe-inspiring." Nearly six weeks since Katrina, Larry and Lorrie Beth are still behind in getting back to 30 or 40 reporters, and their answering machine regularly fills up within a few hours.
"There are a number of mainstream reporters who saw the racism firsthand, and they felt like they couldn't say it themselves, so they bring us on television or the radio for us to say it, because they want to get that message out," Larry says. "But their own prejudice comes out, in the sense that they think that because we're white and middle-aged and 'professionals,' we're legitimate. It's bizarrely ironic that Lorrie Beth and I, who are white, are being called upon to tell this story of racism."
Nevertheless, the features of this story reflect the powerful role played by race and class in the U.S. today.
"We don't see our run-in with the Gretna police force as an individual case of mistreatment, but it's the issue of racism and brutality that exists throughout the relief effort and is endemic throughout our country," says Lorrie Beth. "One-third of Black children in this country are growing up in poverty, infant mortality is on the rise among Blacks, Black children are twice as likely to die before their first birthday as white children. The list goes on. Racism plays a huge role in this country, politically and economically."
Larry agrees. "It's important to put this in a context. A million more people became poor last year. And for the last 20 years, we've had both Democrats and Republicans withdrawing public services from poor and working families, and we've seen the results of that in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina."

Blichfield, Glass fuel optimism for Winterhawks
Linemates Cody Glass and Joachim Blichfeld aren't in the NHL yet, but they're coming, folks.
The Winterhawks' dynamic duo put on a splendid display of offensive skill at the Moda Center on Sunday night, combining for nine points in a 10-2 undressing of the Kootenay Ice.
Blichfeld notched a three-goal hat trick and an assist, and Glass scored twice with three helpers as Portland (16-10-0-2) swept Kootenay (7-20-3-1) off the ice.
"It was one of those nights where everything went right," said Blichfeld, a 6-2, 180-pound left wing from Denmark. "It felt great. Cody and I have good chemistry. We showed it tonight."
The 20-year-old Blichfeld (25 goals, 28 assists) ranks third and 19-year-old Glass (11 goals, 40 assists) is fourth in scoring in the Western Hockey League, the latter despite missing four of the Hawks' 28 games. They combine with Ryan Hughes to form the WHL's most potent line, which was far too much for the Ice defenders to handle.
"Everything was clicking out there," said Glass, a 6-2, 185-pound center from Winnipeg, Manitoba. "It's fun to play with a player like 'Blich.' He's a great shooter. I'm more of a playmaker, so he fits well into my game."
Most any player who can skate and convert a set-up can fit well with Glass, who was the sixth pick by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017 NHL draft, then led the Hawks in scoring with 37 goals and 102 points a year ago.
"Cody sees people all over the ice who nobody can see except for the fans," Portland coach Mike Johnston said. "It's amazing how he makes plays. Cody and Joachim have great chemistry. Joachim is a shooter. He gets open. He's really smart.
"But Cody is just so good with the puck. He can shoot, he can pass, he can do so many things. I like his work ethic this year. Cody has been the driving force with our team. He's a real leader. We have the best player in the league, and I think he's going to be a really good NHL player."
Glass spent six weeks in training camp and played a pair of exhibition games with the Knights — who reached the Stanley Cup finals in their inaugural campaign last season — before being sent back to the Hawks.
"I was disappointed," Glass said. "I felt like I showed well, but they're going for a Stanley Cup again. It was a good experience. I was happy with the way I played. Getting sent down is a bad feeling, but I have another year of junior hockey, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the year."
Blichfeld, a seventh-round selection by the San Jose in 2016, was in the Sharks' camp but didn't play any exhibition games before being returned to Portland.
"It's good to see how the NHLers do things on and off the ice," said Blichfeld, who scored 24 goals and had 56 points in just 56 games with Portland last season. "It was a great experience. I took a lot of what I learned with me back here."
Glass assisted on all three Blichfeld goals Sunday, on the latter decking a defenseman with a move inside the blue line, then backhanding a pass that his linemate deposited with precision into the net.
"With 'Blich,' you just have to give him some space," Glass said. "If you give him those angles and that little time he needs to shoot, he has a good chance of scoring."
The Hawks aren't a two-man team despite losing plenty of talent, including first-round draft picks Kieffer Bellows and Henri Jokiharju plus stalwart defensemen Dennis Cholowski and Keoni Texeira. There is a young nucleus probably headed for its greatest success in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. But with Glass and Blichfeld leading the way, this year's Hawks have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs next spring.
"We have a bunch of skill on this team," Glass said. "The more we develop our young players going into the second half of the year, the stronger we'll be."
For the first time in Johnston's nine years as the Hawks' coach, he is using three 16-year-old forwards on regular lines — Seth Jarvis, Cross Hanas and Robbie Fromm-Delorme.
"We decided to commit to those guys because we like them," Johnston said. "They're going to be really good players, and they're coming along, but they have their highs and lows."
Johnston points to 17-year-old center Reece Newkirk, who had eight goals and three assists in 58 games a year ago. Now the 5-11, 170-pound Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, native is a force with which to be reckoned, with 16 goals and 14 assists already this season.
"A kid can explode that next year," Johnston said. "That's why we're trying to give them experience now."
Jarvis, Hanas and Fromm-Delorme "are really good hockey players," Glass said. "They've been doing a good job. Mike is really good at developing players. They need to take advantage of every opportunity."
Goaltender Shane Farkas has replaced departed Cole Kehler — now in the Los Angeles Kings system — and played all but 146 minutes this season. Farkas, 19, is backed up by 16-year-old Dante Giannuzzi.
"Shane has carried a heavy load," Johnston said. "Dante is not quite ready. We may look at getting somebody to back Shane up (before the January trade deadline)."
Portland is third in the 10-team Western Conference, trailing only Everett (22-7-1-0) and Vancouver (20-6-2-0). The Hawks are 2-0 against Vancouver and 2-4-0-1 against Everett, but have been outscored only 22-18 in the seven games by the Silvertips.
"We've played them well," Johnston said. "We're right there with them."
It's an unusual season for the Hawks, who after suffering heavy losses are re-tooling instead of rebuilding.
"Usually after 20 games, I know where our team is at," he said. "We have nine new players in our lineup. I'm hoping they're going to grow by February or March to where we're going to be a threat in the playoffs.
"Right now, we're at a point where we can beat anybody, but at the same time, we could lose to a lot of teams in our (conference). I don't think anybody is a clear front-runner on our side. We're right there in the pack."
Or maybe even better than that. If so, it will be with Glass and Blichfeld leading the way.

4 Ways to Use Window Curtains in Santa Barbara Homes
Santa Barbara window curtains aren't just to offer privacy and lighting control in your home. They also offer beautiful decorative benefits. It's time to get the full benefits of using curtains in your home and here are four ways that you can include them.
Decorate Your Windows
Just because you have curtains up over your windows doesn't mean they're there only for lighting benefits. They may beautiful decorative pieces that can brighten up this space in the home. With the right colors and material, you can pull out the focus on period features or beautiful designs on the windows or within the frames.
Your window curtains in Santa Barbara don't even need to be physically used. They can drape around the window and you can use another window covering to use practically. Curtains work excellently with shades, shutters, and blinds.
Create Wall Pieces for Decoration
Another way to use curtains for decoration is to hang them on walls. They become like murals or artwork, standing out and drawing attention to specific parts of your room. One of the great things is you can put them in any room to work, but they're extremely beneficial for children's rooms.
You may have a friend who made curtains for a nursery. As the child gets older or moves room, the window curtains in Santa Barbara may no longer work. You can hang them for the memories instead.
Opt for a Divider
If you need to create privacy in a room, curtains are the perfect option. While they don't block sound, they block the view enough to create the sense of another room within a room. They can hang from the ceiling easily, keeping the costs of dividers down.
These are perfect if you have a shared room or space. For example, studio apartments benefit from light curtains to divide off the sleeping area form the sitting area. You get to keep the whole section feeling open and light, but still have the privacy of a bedroom door.
They are also good for shared rooms between people. If two siblings want their own privacy, a set of curtains can be pulled on quickly and easily. This is one of the reasons curtains are used in hospitals on wards.
Heating Benefits Around Doors
While they're called Santa Barbara window curtains, they can be used in any space around the home. The doors are in need of curtains or drapes for the heating benefits. A lot of heat will escape through the gaps in the doorframe. The curtain will be in the way of the heat escaping, helping to keep it in the room in the middle of winter.
The downside is moving the curtain out of the way when you want to go through the door, but it's certainly a possibility. This is great if your room tends to lose a lot of heat quickly and you can't tell why.
Consider Santa Barbara window curtains for your home. The four ways to use them are just your starting block.

7 Moms Share The Best Things They Did For Themselves While Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can be one of the highlights of new motherhood. It's a great feeling to feed and bond with your baby in a special way. But it's not always warm and fuzzy. Breastfeeding can be challenging, painful, and extremely taxing. You run the risk of feeling touched out, and you're usually zapped of any energy, freedom, and sense of bodily autonomy. And, of course, you have to plan ahead if you'll be away from your baby for more than a couple of hours. That's why it's so important to do something special for yourself while breastfeeding. Forgetting about yourself comes almost naturally to most moms, and even more so when you're still using your entire body to nourish your child.
It was difficult for me to breastfeed my son for so many different, but equally frustrating, reasons. But while I struggled to produce an adequate amount of breast milk, I kept at it for a few months because I enjoyed nursing my son so much. I knew that even if it was challenging, I was only going to be breastfeeding for a limited amount of time, so I tried to keep myself in a positive mindset throughout the entire experience.
I'd say the best thing I did for myself while breastfeeding was to feed my baby while in a special rocking chair my parents brought me from Nicaragua, their home country. It was and is ridiculously comfortable, and sitting in that beautiful chair made me feel supported by my family while I embarked on this new journey called motherhood. I spoke with other nursing moms on what they felt was the best thing (or things) they did for themselves while breastfeeding their little ones, and here's what they shared:
Holly, 24
"Actual nursing bras, and I got this really great super soft sleeping tank from Soma. It's super stretchy around the boob area and flowed around the tummy. It still fits great and my boobs are two sizes smaller than when I bought it. So amazing. It made everything so much easier and it is just so comfortable, since I don't have to wear a bra or anything with it. "
Vivi, 32
"I made sure to take pictures of me nursing. It may sound strange, but its such a beautiful moment and we, as moms, tend to get caught up in all the day-to-day stuff. I had to remind myself that breastfeeding was a privilege and an honor, and I wanted the memory."
Jillian, 35
"I baked myself lactation cookies on the regular, and never felt guilty about eating them."
Cassy, 28
"This might not be quite what you're looking for, but I've fully given up on covering up while breastfeeding, unless I'm wanting baby to sleep. It's been freeing to not care about what others think!"
Rachel, 42
"I got in a lot of massages and pilates classes to help with the neck and shoulder pain that comes from all those hours of being somewhat hunched over a tiny baby."
Kate, 34
"I had/have a lot of supply issues. I started drinking the 'milk tea' and it helped a lot! Also, lots and lots of water. And lanolin."
Tonya, 40
"With my first I didn't buy cute bras and hated the way I looked for the entire year of nursing. For my second, I bought cute and pretty bras as soon as I could and then I didn't hate getting dressed each day."

We are choreographing the first-ever Monkey Dance-Off here at the world headquarters of the Community Resource Center. It is not every business that has the opportunity to do this. But at CRC, we receive a fair number of stuffed animals that sing from a major retailer and we just felt as though they needed to showcase their talents. We could actually hear them warbling away through their cardboard box prisons.
So Kim is the stage manager, lighting director and the head of photography. Here she is setting up the very sophisticated lighting system on the monkey stage, which may look as though it is simply a cart but you would be wrong. And if you think the lights look suspiciously like a string of Christmas lights you would also be wrong.
Betsy is the set designer, head writer and editor. She has just informed me that this project is work-related because she needs to learn editing in her role as marketing manager. I'll accept that. Creative interpretation of just fooling around. This soon-to-be-award winning video will be showcased on You Tube, thereby introducing the world to the Community Resource Center. Or at least introducing the Monkey Dance-Off.
Important business. We're on top of it.

so, in my ongoing confessional of my weekend car based errors, here's a tale about how a no good deed going unpunished
my wife's parents are an infinite fount of generosity; watching my kids, recently they lent me their car while I was car shopping, and in particular many times they have driven me to the airport.
During the time the lent me their car I noticed the temp control knob was malfunctioning, and having just returned the favour of driving THEM to the airport for once I knew I had a week where I could fix their temp control knob and be the glorious son in law they always dreamed of.
Oh how I just imagined them reporting that their knob now worked, and how neat that was, and the sly grin I would get as I reported "oh it was nothing, I totally fixed that while you were out of town, perhaps you should buy my kids a puppy"
So I park their car in their garage, remove the whole climate control radio centre console thing and take it to my place.
Fast forward to 1 day later. Their actual son (not this now garbage son in law) turns up to feed the dog. Notices their car is parked weird, looks inside and see A THEFT!!! SOMEONE HAS BROKEN IN AND STOLEN THE STEREO FROM A 13 YEAR OLD TOYOTA HIGHLANDER!!!
He calls Mom, someone calls the police, the mother in law calls me ( I miss the call because I'm test driving a POS civic), she then calls my wife, the wife calls me ( I miss the call because I'm test driving a POS civic), wife texts "CALL ME ASAP".
I call back the mother in law, crisis is averted. but then I have to call the wife, and the father in law, and the brother in law and just generally tell everyone I'm a moron.
Also, I havent fixed the damned knob. here's hoping I CAN actually fix it, or this will just be the ultimate in shame.

Reclaiming Streets, Revitalising Cities
WRI India served as knowledge partners for Raahgiri Day, a streets for all initiative, in New Delhi's city centre
New Delhi: The Raahgiri Foundation, in partnership with WRI India, the New Delhi Municipal Council, and the New Delhi Police Department revived Raahgiri Day at Connaught Place on Sunday. This event will be held every Sunday for the next six months, affording people vehicle-free streets to walk, cycle, play, and engage with the community. Taj Hassan, Special Commissioner of Police, New Delhi, and Rashmi Singh, Secretary, NDMC, were chief guests.
Thats how we reclaim our streets! @SarikaPanda @amitbhatt4u @MaxHealthcare @htTweets @WRIIndia pic.twitter.com/5vEsr3w0fJ— Raahgiri Day (@RaahgiriDay) May 26, 2019
"Road safety is a major concern and we want to spread awareness around that through this initiative," said Taj Hassan in his inaugural address to the crowds that gathered early on Sunday morning to participate in this streets for all initiative.

Increasing motorisation has resulted in declining air quality, rise in road traffic crashes, and unhealthy lifestyles that bring with it a range of health issues, including obesity, and risk of respiratory illness and heart failure. Initiatives like Raahgiri Day aim to encourage non-motorised forms of transport, like walking and cycling, which can help contribute towards reversing this trend.
A day without vehicles. A day to reclaim the streets of #connaughtplace . Happy streets, happier people #streetsforall #RaahgiriDay @RaahgiriDay @DelhiPolice @htTweets @tweetndmc @MaxHealthcare @WRIIndia @WRICitiesIndia pic.twitter.com/zZss8I6at5— Nishant Bhatnagar (@inishantb) May 26, 2019
At Connaught Place, motorised vehicles were restricted from entering the inner circle and all the radials from 6 am to 9 am, and the space was left open for people, creating an inclusive public space for young and old to engage with the community and participate in various activities like Zumba, cricket, dance, yoga, cycling, and others.
MaxHealthcare also partnered with Raahgiri Day to spread awareness around cancer. As part of their campaign, Nirdaar Hamesha, survivors of cancer and their families shared stories from their inspiring journeys to survival, or how they were currently battling with the disease.

Since its inception in 2013, Raahgiri Day has spread to over 70 cities across 19 states in India with different iterations of the streets for all concept. More than 13 million people have participated in these events, and there has been engagement with various city-level stakeholders like local municipal bodies, enforcement agencies, residential welfare associations, schools, businesses, non-profits, volunteer groups, and citizens. In many cities, Raahgiri Day has been used as a platform to spread awareness around women's empowerment, child rights, health, and other social justice issues. For instance, in Lucknow, the development authority organised Raahgiri Day yesterday focused on women's health, where there were free health check-ups, and programs around the importance of menstrual hygiene and self-defence.
Today LDA's Raahgiri Day was focused on Women's Health and Menstrual Hygeine. The day started with Yoga, Nukkad Nataks on the theme of Menstrual Hygeine & Importance of self defence. Free Health checkup were other highlights. Join us next on 9th June at 6:30 am. pic.twitter.com/8rQ7EkbOEu— Lucknow D'Authority (@lda_vc) May 26, 2019

Background Hoxx Vpn
NordVPN offers a VPN service in a cheap price Which Allows its Users to browse safely and anonymously. Their virtual private network servers use OpenVPN tunneling protocol and AES 256-bit encryption (with double data security ). Hoxx Vpn
When it comes to private networks, Or VPNs, NordVPN has demonstrated itself to be our best service for procuring your online activities. The business has over 5,100 servers throughout the globe, making it. It also requires a strong stance and includes tools. NordVPN wraps all that up in a snazzy client that's consistent throughout every platform on which it's available, and it features ad blocking for good measure. For a lot of features its user experience, and service, it is a winner.
Click here to sign up for NordVPN.
What Is a VPN?
When investigators cobbled the ARPANET together In 1969, they did not give much consideration to security or privacy. It's still true that the net does little to protect your data and your identity, while the internet has changed a whole lot in the intervening decades. That is why you want a VPN.
When you turn on a VPN, it creates an Encrypted tunnel between your personal computer and a server controlled by the VPN service. All your web traffic is routed meaning that nobody, not someone on the exact same system as you, can sneak a peek. It prevents network operators from intercepting your data or using DNS poisoning techniques to trick you into visiting pages that are phishing. A VPN even protects your internet visitors from being tracked by your ISP, which is important that ISPs can sell user information.
Since your web traffic appears to emanate In the VPN server and not your home computer, your IP address is concealed from the outside world. That's valuable, as an IP address may be used by spies and advertisers to track your movements. IP addresses may be used to approximate your location, which is just another reason. Hoxx Vpn
VPNs have long been used by journalists and Political activists to access websites blocked by repressive governments. It is also possible to use them to bypass the cubes on streaming content that is limited to specific geographic regions placed. By way of instance, if you jump into a VPN server in Canada, you may find you are in a position to watch at no cost in MLB games. It's well worth noting that Netflix actively blocks VPN users, so a VPN that works with Netflix one may be blocked the next.
There's a good Possibility that you may have never Hands on a VPN before. If that's true, don't worry! We have got an entire feature on the best way to prepare and use a VPN.
NordVPN Benefits
NordVPN is probably the VPN provider who claims To function as World's Most Secure VPN.
But I've seen those claims before. I purchased NordVPN and chose to Put towards evaluations. Here are the pros I discovered…
Strict No Logging Policy
While some VPN suppliers keep some logs, NordVPN does not.
They do track Some lesser significant data, such as:
- Service performance data (for recommending most suitable servers)
- E-mail address
- Payment information (however you can also use bitcoins)
That's the standard stuff that most (if not all) VPN suppliers are logging And it's nothing you should be worried about. Especially when NordVPNs payment processor is not tied up with their main company.
Powerful Features & Add-Ons
While being relatively inexpensive, they do provide some Fantastic features Such as:
- IP hiding: Yes
- Netflix accessibility: Yes
- Kill-switch: They have two different sorts of kill-switches: an individual is now able to choose whether to close a specific app or completely terminate the online connection in the event of sudden dropout (system-wide kill-switch).
- 6 simultaneous connections
- Access to their own DoubleVPN servers that encrypts data double
- 4870+ fast and protected Servers
- Countries 62
- 6 simultaneous connections
Not only do they have applications for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android they have detailed tutorials for Protocol connectivity for these and 40 other mobile OS, RaspberryPi's and routers.
- Kill Switch: NordVPN software automatically kills your connection if your VPN connectivity has been interrupted, blocking your device or terminating certain apps from accessing the internet.
- DNS Leak Protection: If you've installed your VPN connection (say you didn't want to join via OpenVPN) or have lately reset your Windows, you are prone to DNS escapes. These DNS requests will then be completely unprotected. NordVPN have implemented measures to protect you and negate such escapes.
- Onion Over VPN: For extra protection, or those needing to visit the dark web (TOR network), NordVPN offers you the ability to route your traffic first through their VPN and then send it into the Onion Router.
- SmartPlay: SmartPlay technology ensures that you can access over 400 geo-restricted streaming solutions; Netflix, Amazon Prime, Pandora, BBC, and others. With more and more VPN servers unable to get Netflix, this can be a welcome attribute. Hoxx Vpn
OpenVPN (among other tunneling protocols)
OpenVPN comes with 256-AES-CBC using a 2048bit Diffie-Hellman key. I Generally prefer to watch DH over RSA, on account of the former enabling Perfect Forward Secrecy. On iOS and MacOS customers, you will be encrypted via an IKEv2/IPsec protocol; AES-256-GCM and a 3072bit DH key,
In Summary, NordVPN has gone all out on security and has employed Standard encryption algorithms.
Double Data Protection
If you opt to turn this attribute, NordVPNs double security will Relay your data via none, but two subsequent VPN servers, before it reaches the web page or application you're attempting to get. By chaining your link through two VPN servers, your data gets encrypted twice.
Along with this (often unnecessary) dual encryption, the second VPN Server will probably be oblivious of your IP address that is initial and relations are always made via both TCP and UDP protocols. This really is a"one additional step" security feature. Your vast majority are unlikely to ever require it, particularly if you're using it for torrenting and Netflix unblocking.
Not to mention the impracticality of the reduced speeds You're going to incur.
NordVPN Rate is Stable And speedy
Ah, bones and the meat of any VPN review — independent, Prolific and Meticulous speed testing.
Their rates weren't anything to brag about when I reviewed.
However, when I re-did this speed test in December 2018 See their speeds.
To gauge NordVPN is at securing your traffic, I Conducted several dozen speed tests attached into the Asian, UK, EU and US servers.
And while the top VPNs was able to achieve speeds of 70 Mbpsup and +, NordVPN came outside using 74.15 Mbps.
US Server
- Ping: 101ms
- Download: 56 Mbps
- Upload: 29 Mbps
On average, pretty good for a six thousand mile journey.

Not bad for a Europe into Asia connection!
Overall, NordVPN is fast VPN supplier. Hoxx Vpn
Works Great for Torrenting and Netflix USA
Since NordVPN has a Great Deal of servers they work with Torrenting and bypassing.
When I analyzed NordVPN with Netflix it seemed to work.
I have to admit, not all servers are functioning with Netflix, since we All know how Netflix attempts to crack down IPs that appeal to VPNs.
But 5 out of 6 should do the job. Here are my Netflix evaluation results:
NordVPN servers unblocking Netflix:
- United States (2)
- United Kingdom
- Netherlands
- Canada
NordVPN servers
- Sweden
You can get in touch You select the right servers for your streaming.
Torrenting is quick and secure .
NordVPN has made special"P2P servers" that are exclusively meant for keeping Your own activities that are torrenting safe and private. You are able to get into the P2P servers through"specialty" servers list on their program.
No IP or DNS Leaks Found
I examine VPNs, I make Numerous tests to see if they are Shifting my DNS or IP.
To create these true, I set my location to their USA server used 5 Different websites for checking DNS escapes:
- IPLeak.net
- Perfect-Privacy. Com DNS & IP leak evaluation
- Browserleaks.com for WebRTC escapes
- IPC.ax
Overall, I can be confident Your IP nor DNS will probably never get Leaked when using NordVPN.
Furthermore, when I did research on Chrome extension escape test, NordVPN Was one of the few that did not have to fix it since it wasn't leaking (read the entire case study here).
Found in Panama (Safe Jurisdiction, No Data Retention Law)
According to their website (NordVPN.com), NordVPN was launched 2008 in Panama and is controlled by Tefincom co S.A.
For many, this may raise a red flag.
However, that practice.
All VPNs are located Share info on logging (Switzerland, Singapore, Caymans, British Virgin Islands and so on).
NordVPN definitely hides This information well enough. And it's good for their customers, too.
However, when I actually paid to write this NordVPN Inspection, my payment went to CloudVPN Inc (located in the US). So aren't they located in Panama such as the claim?
To be fair — this makes a whole lot of sense. They are"officially" predicated in Retention laws. Hoxx Vpn

Both times the Client Support Rep was fast to assist, but came with Copy & paste answer.

After skimming to any service and moving through their directory Page I could find, I quote NordVPN to have well over 500 tutorials and guides.

Your Privacy With NordVPN
If you use a VPN, it has insight Into your internet actions as your ISP does. It could examine every piece of information if it so desired. It can possibly identify you to another party–law enforcement, for example–making it possible to track you online. That's why it's important that before you buy a VPN subscription, you know and are familiar with the steps the company has created to safeguard your privacy.
An agent from NordVPN assured me that The company doesn't insert ads into your internet traffic, nor does it profit from the sale of user information. As it collects, the firm representative told me that NordVPN simply collects aggregated app-crash data and voluntary data. The representative confirmed that NordVPN doesn't collect any personally identifiable details. All of this information is available in the company's privacy policy.
In November, 2018, NordVPN declared that it Had passed a third-party audit of its own no-log coverage by one of the"big four audit firms." It unites VPN businesses, including TunnelBear VPN, that are undertaking audits. The effort proves that the companies are seriously interested in consumer privacy and safety, although Every one of these audits differs. Hopefully companies will follow suit.
NordVPN relies in and works under the Legal jurisdiction of Panama, in which there are no laws requiring the enterprise to keep data for a period that is mandatory. The company says it does not collect log information, so it does not have any information it could actually hand over in response.
It's difficult, however, to endorse the Privacy practices of any VPN business. To do so would require the expertise to translate it all, as well as profound access to the company's code and hardware. That said, based on my discussions with NordVPN and studying the company's privacy policy, it appears to be saying all the right things. As always, however, you as the customer should ask yourself whether you are comfortable with expecting any company with your personal info. Hoxx Vpn
Hands On With NordVPN
For this review, I used a Lenovo ThinkPad T460s notebook running the newest version of Windows 10. Some VPN services prefer to use the VPN client software built into the operating system instead of developing a standalone program. NordVPN offers both options. I completed my tests all utilizing the NordVPN Windows client.
Virtually Every VPN company I've reviewed thus Much offers handy programs rather than requiring that you manually set up your VPN. NordVPN has always provided a superb user experience with its apps, regardless of the platform you're using. At testing, the Windows client shared a lot of design attributes with the NordVPN mobile programs, using a monochrome map because its focus. It's somewhat whimsical, together with submarines and ships on the animation seas, but it's an easy way to select the host you want.
An internet search bar at the Peak of the display makes Short work of locating a server are missing, or the servers can be viewed by you . The servers that are specialized are placed by this last option and it provides analytics concerning the loading on any given server.
Clicking the Quick Connect option Of the display or the System Tray, joins you to the VPN server that NordVPN thinks is best (normally, the nearest and so fastest). That is a great choice for people unfamiliar with VPN solutions, as is the Preferences option that compels NordVPN to start and connect on startup.
You can change The DNS resolution service, although NordVPN uses its own secure choice. The client includes options to automatically connect on startup, but it does not have a broken tunneling feature which allows you some traffic outside the VPN's encrypted tunnel. TunnelBear is one VPN service which does include this attribute, though utilizing it will reduce your security.
In the NordVPN settings you can also Pick a TCP or UDP connection, and even choose to connect to what the firm calls"obfuscated servers," that it says helps circumvent government VPN blocking. The customer also contains a Switch which shuts off access to the internet for programs that are certain, should your computer become disconnected in the VPN. Hoxx Vpn
NordVPN Cons
~ 30 Days refund Could Take
Though NordVPN offers 30 days many of the people, Money-back Guarantee Have contacted us stating that it works, but with a caveat…
It requires NordVPN almost 30 days to process your refund.
While this isn't a large issue, it isn't a very good user experience. Most VPNs give refunds.
But, I wouldn't refund (nor did not ) NordVPN, therefore that I doubt you'll need To use that feature.
Company Not Transparent Enough
As stated above, upon my investigation, NordVPN seems to be connected with CloudVPN Inc — A business located in the U.S. which is in contradiction of what they state on their website.
But that doesn't mean they are not private or actually located in the USA.
They gave me a response, though…
And by believing twice — it left a great deal of sense. So I wouldn't Section it to cons, however.
Cost and Features
NordVPN supports Android, Chrome, Firefox, IOS Windows with apps, and macOS. NordVPN's mobile clients both permit you to purchase subscriptions . As an alternative, you can configure a few routers to link via NordVPN. Doing provides coverage for all the devices in your system, including home devices that can't run a VPN on their own.
NordVPN offers four pricing tiers: $11.95 each Month, $83.88 yearly, $95.75 each couple of decades, or $107.55 each three decades. The business accepts PayPal, but additionally credit cards, naturally, different cryptocurrencies, and other payment methods that are online. NordVPN has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Hoxx Vpn
NordVPN also offers a free trial But it still hasn't made it easy to get, and, considering the constraints, it's almost not worth it, years. There are generous and lots of competent free VPN services on the market. ProtonVPN is our top pick for VPNs, because it places no data limit on its own users.
You can use up to six devices On NordVPN, though there are some limitations concerning connecting devices to the exact same server. That's still outstanding, as most VPN services limit you to five simultaneous connections. Should you need more than six devices, consider installing NordVPN on your router (as mentioned above). 10 device slots are especially provided by cyberGhost, and Avira Phantom VPN and Windscribe VPN place no limitation on the number of devices you may use. Services let you add a subscription for a fee and more device slots.
As of this writing Top-rated VPN service is all about $10.68. NordVPN is especially above that average, but its host of features apps, and heart support more than justify the cost. That said, other VPN providers have lower-cost and flexible pricing programs. KeepSolid VPN Unlimited$8.99 at KeepSolid, for instance, provides a life subscription, in case you want to hedge your bets on encryption for the 22nd century. Personal online Access, on the other hand, costs just $6.95 per month and stocks an Editors' Choice award using NordVPN.
Among the perks of using a VPN is your Actual IP address is hidden from the outside world. The issue is that providers and some sites may blacklist that IP address. For that, you will have to purchase a static IP address, which NordVPN may provide. To get a $70.00 fee, you are able to secure a dedicated IP address on a NordVPN server in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, or the USA. Static IP addresses are handy if you're concerned about VPN traffic being obstructed, and NordVPN's wide selection of US and Western European IP addresses signifies your new static IP will go awry. Note, however, you have to email NordVPN and ask a dedicated IP address. Other providers, such as TorGuard VPN$4.16 in TorGuard – 24 month plan and VPN Unlimited, provide static IP addresses as simple add-ons to an present subscription.
NordVPN for iPhone
NordVPN for iPhone continues NordVPN's Tradition of providing exactly the exact same user experience supported platforms. On iPad or iPhone of the features feel familiar to users of other NordVPN solutions.
Unfortunately, the iOS version does not have some Of the handy options that you find in the Android edition, due to iOS's quirks. Still, this app feels very much at home on the platform of Apple. NordVPN also brings Smart Reconnect feature and its Kill Switch, which can be welcome.
Unsurprisingly, NordVPN gets an Editors' Choice for VPN for your own iPhone. Hoxx Vpn
NordVPN for Android
The Android client for NordVPN is Sleek, using a brand new interface that keeps the map that is but introduces a more glowing appearance.
NordVPN has taken great pains to provide a Each customer is tweaked to work best on every stage, although experience across every device the business supports. For example, on Android, you can get into the company servers that are specialized. We like that you can browse a complete list of servers that are available in a country, not a category.
For its excellent collection of features and Port NordVPN is an Editors' Choice for Android VPN apps, too.
NordVPN for Firefox and Chrome
Besides mobiles and computers, NordVPN Provides a Firefox add-on a Chrome plug-in and, more lately. Browser plug-ins for VPNs are becoming more common, and it is a development I appreciate.
When busy, they protected the information that's Transmitted by means of your browser, leaving the rest untouched. This can be a compromise in safety, but it may be more efficient for several tasks, such as gaming with a VPN. A company representative tells me that both extensions have been encrypted using TLS 1.2.
The NordVPN browser VPN lacks the granularity Of the full scale client on Android and Firefox. You can't connect to servers, for instance, only locations. These plug-ins are, however, simple to use and lightweight, and they include all of the organization's CyberSec security, which I discussed above. They have ability to obstruct WebRTC, which could leak information. Nevertheless, I favor the plug-ins from TunnelBear, one of which serves as a VPN connection and the other as a fine-tuned ad blocker.
NordVPN for Mac
As with Android, there are a few yells That create the macOS client for NordVPN feel right at home on a Mac. The view is the familiar and lovely monochromatic blue map, with submarines and its animation ships. Nevertheless, the left that is concealed moves in with a slickness of their best apps. By clicking the magnifying glass to hunt the servers, the page is blurred from. These are little tweaks, but most VPNs services don't require the time to really optimize their customers.
After I last tested my lone, the Mac app Criticism was that NordVPN's excellent specialized servers are too hard to find via the Mac user interface. You need to apply special filters to the full list, or notice that the tiny links at the bottom of the webpage. In my view, these needs to be front and centre for the user. In addition, I want you can select different VPN protocols, however, on the flip side, NordVPN already utilizes my option, OpenVPN.
Unfortunately, NordVPN performed poorly in my Last batch of macOS VPN speed tests. That said, the features and overall expertise of NordVPN outweigh the speed results, and NordVPN is among our VPN customers for Macs. Hoxx Vpn
Can I Recommend NordVPN?
Slimming down, I do recommend NordVPN.
It's secure, safe and fast. Plus it doesn't come with a huge learning Curve as some VPNs such as TorGuard or AirVPN.
Their server park is the biggest that I know of, 4870 servers in 60+ countries.
It isn't the fastest VPN, but the operation is stable and quick. I wouldn't Be surprised if they land 1st if they maintain the fantastic functionality at low rates.
Will see what the future brings, but for now — I am pretty much Recommending NordVPN, particularly if your budget is limited.
In my experience, the man would Rather risk with no protection than deal with security software that is bothersome. That is why NordVPN succeeds. It has everything we expect in a VPN and some, with specialized servers such as Tor-Over-VPN and double security being the service's standout features. Continued server updates make it the VPN service accessible, and network security features and ad blocking increase NordVPN's skills still greater. NordVPN also has an excellent stance on user privacy, amassing very little data and operating from the legal jurisdiction of Panama.
Taken together, these variables are more than Enough to warrant its high monthly price. NordVPN is a choice, is suggested.

Super blogger Challenge Week 3 is here and we are all excited. The excitement is at its peak which is natural. Reading around 50 blogs, commenting on them, sharing them is no mean task. It takes a huge amount of time and energy. Some of us are full-time bloggers and some of us are also juggling with full-time jobs and are accountable for many things at the workplace. So how do you get the best of both worlds? By slowing down.
Why slow down when we can accomplish everything well within time?
A very legit question. Slowing down means not reducing the pace of the fantastic work that you are doing but to enhance the detail of what you are doing. Sometimes we complete a task because it is necessary to complete and not because we would learn from it. Let us learn to learn from every task than merely completing it. That will help us move a few more steps closer to the win.
Slowing down means letting others go ahead in this highly competitive environment
Every blog has its own niche and a reader base. Working towards getting more readers is all about engagement. Your engagement on their blog posts and their social media handles. Instead of commenting on 10 blog posts a day, you can try and get only 5 blog posts commented, but be sure to read the post fully and the comment. A heartfelt and thoughtful comment would certainly gain you more followers. Share tweets that you really mean and do not do it just for the sake of it. Slowing down does not means falling behind, it means doing better work. Better work means better rewards.
Slowing down is boring
I am sure you would agree with me, but slowing down is more of a mentality. You need quality or quantity on your blog is also one question you can answer before deciding the approach. Fast pace may get you more readers for some time but quality content would certainly bring some faithful readers who would remember your each blog post. Life is sorted when your message reaches to those chosen someones instead of reaching to a herd of people who do not even care what is on the blog post. Slowing down is boring but also would give you ample time to think about your blog niche and help you get the most out of your creative process.
Ok, I have decided to slow down now what?

From time to time Outright Geekery brings you a slanted and biased opinion on some trivially specific topic of geekery. We call it Outright Geekery's Top o' the Lot.
Every so many years our favorite ongoing titles get bit stretched. New ideas become harder and a little restricted by what has been done already. So sometimes publishers scrap everything established and start fresh. Reboot the story and start anew. Some of flat out hate the idea of a Reboot. Some of us think of the c.g. show from the 90's. Most of us comic readers associate the word with DC who seem to really enjoy it. We do have to understand Reboot usually is for one thing. New Readers. We can think of other reasons, like cleaning up continuity, updating origins, but come on. This weeks Top O' the Lot we are going to count down our favorite Reboots, in honor of the supposed two Reboots coming to us this year.
Honorable Mention: Heroes Reborn
The 90's was very unforgiving for Marvel and when they were knocking on the door of bankruptcy they decided to kill off all their mainstream heroes and Reboot them into something a little more relevant to the current readers. Heroes Reborn was not your parent's Marvel and quite frankly it wasn't yours either. However it had the right idea and I give them credit for that. New designs, new origins, while maintaining a lot of the integrity of the character. It was just bad time for something this new though and Marvel decided to just go back to the old 616.
5. J. Michael Straczynski's THOR
I know exactly what you are thinking, how is this on the list? Well Thor had effectively ended before this. Marvel's 616 may have gone on without Thor, but what's Marvel without their god of Thunder? So JMS with the help of Olivier Copiel Rebooted the franchise and created a very different Thor then what we had. The entire status quo changed, Asgard itself didn't even comeback and neither did Odin. This Reboot brought a whole new side to the Thor tale, one solely about Thor. In this Reboot we watched Donald Blake slowly fade away, and we watched the rise of Thor as his own character. This reboot took Thor into a more expansive exploratory place that has made him more into the God of Thunder we understand now.
4. The New 52
One of two DC Reboots I will talk about. The New 52 came at the right time, DC was apparently running out of ideas. In the Modern Age of Comics, DC began to revitalize all of its Golden and Silver Age heroes and did not know what to do what them. SO they decided to start fresh, but not only did they start fresh but they pulled in characters from Vertigo and Wildstorm imprints into the New 52. Awesome launching creative teams, sweet new designs for old favorites and absolutely perfect for new readers. Some of the best things to come out of the New 52 in my opinion got cut short early, minus Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo's Batman which has been stellar and its the only New 52 title to retain its launch creative team.
3. IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Forgot what you heard this was everything this title needed. As someone who grew up reading/watching the Ninja Turtles I'm not afraid to say prior to IDW the Turtles had gotten a little stale. With the dark gritty roots washed away with years of campy cartoons and movies, it was hard to reclaim their street cred. Brand New Publisher, input from creators, totally different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but perfect for new/old readers. If you haven't checked that reboot, you are missing out.
2. Post-Crisis DC
At one point DC had way to many titles of each hero and it was getting a little confusing. Imagine like 4 different Superman titles where each Superman was different and had nothing to do with any of the other titles. Where you had no idea if Batman on the Justice League had anything to do with Batman in Detective Comics. Too many elseworlds, so DC decided to consolidate. What came was a DC I came to know and love. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC become a very seriously connected universe. Also Wally West as the Flash, Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern. That is all.
1. Summer of Valiant
Do you remember the original Valiant? All those awesome hallographic covers? Each page was something to gawk and awe at. Valiant back in the day was the industry's best and brightest artist. I would call most of the stories great back issue material, but it was pretty. However Valiant faded and went bankrupt. Then 2012, forget anything that happened before. A whole new Valiant was born with no restrictions. Aimed more for adults the rebooted Vailiant Universe looks similar to the original but is completely new. With much of the focus on the stories of each character. It has been a renaissance for the folks at Valiant and they have left the original universe in the dust.
See a mistake? Disagree with the choices? Tell us what you think about this installment of Top o' Lot, join in the discussion and share your opinion.

Today, in the course of reviewing documents for my job, I came across a copy of a letter completely unrelated to what I was looking for, and so does not fall under the scope of client confidentiality.
Most people have likely heard of the term "prison-industrial complex", which basically means that certain groups in our society derive a monetary or other benefit from incarcerating more people in prisons.
The letter I came across provides a glimpse of one facet of this complex, namely our politicians in New York State. It is a letter dating from January of 2000 from a New York state senator named Hugh Farley, to the then Republican Senate Majority Leader, Joe Bruno.
It reads as follows:
"If this year's budget includes authorization for a new prison, the Hale Creek site in Fulton County has always been favored by the Corrections Department.
Although Fulton County has long been at the top of the list, in recent years Senator Stafford has received a prison, I stepped aside for Senator Present when he needed a prison, and Senator Nozzolio has received a prison. Now it should be Fulton County's turn.
I do hope, Joe, that you will do everything you can to ensure that we have a prison in the budget and that it is located in Fulton County."
This letter is interesting to me for two reasons. First, it is clearly implied that prisons were doled out to state senators in New York like some kind of reward for loyalty or service to the Senate Majority Leader. Second, Senator Farley's plea to Bruno to ensure funding for a prison in the budget is not couched in terms of a societal need, such as "Hey, we have an exploding prison population and need more prisons to address overcrowding!" Rather, he wants funding for a new prison, because, dammit, he just wants one in his district and it's his turn.
Presumably, politicians like having prisons put in their district because it provides jobs for construction companies and construction and corrections officers union members. It probably goes without saying that the beneficiaries of these contracts make campaign contributions to these politicians, while the unions give the senators their endorsements come reelection time.
Of course, it's no secret that this sort of thing does go on. It's just that the letter I quoted, which was clearly not intended to be read by the public, really illustrates the corruption involved from the political side of things, with prisons budgeted for and dispensed like candy to state legislators.
