Red Sox rallying for John Farrell
By Sharyn Gladstone
After an active offseason the Boston Red Sox began the 2015 season with high expectations, but ended with their third last place finish in the past four years.
During the offseason, then-General Manager Ben Cherington vowed to fix the team. He splurged on two free agent bats in Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval and assembled a rotation full of number four and five starters, rather than acquiring an ace to fill the void left by the departed Jon Lester.
Cherington's failure to make sufficient moves in another offseason led the Red Sox ownership to bring in Dave Dombrowski as their president of baseball operations.
Cherington, who would have to report to Dombrowski, chose to resign rather than stay with the team. Mike Hazen has since been hired as the new GM.
In August, Manager John Farrell had a hernia surgery, and Bench Coach Torey Lovullo took over the helm in his absence. It was soon discovered from the procedure that Farrell had stage-one lymphoma, and would need to undergo over four months of chemotherapy to rid himself of this curable form of the disease.
Interim Manager Torey Lovullo would continue to manage in Farrell's place.
The team rallied behind Lovullo in Farrell's absence, showing signs of life for the first time since their season-opening series against the Phillies.
The team scored 37 runs in the two games following Farrell's clubhouse announcement of his diagnosis.
Second-baseman Dustin Pedroia told reporters, "It's your family. Your first reaction is shock. The next reaction is, 'How do we get him better?' And he's going to start that process soon."
It became a team priority to win, playing for Farrell.
Under Lovullo, the team went 28-21, compared to a 50-63 under Farrell. Veteran slugger David Ortiz shined, reaching the 500 home run plateau while showing no signs of slowing down, even at 39-years-old.
Youngsters Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts flashed positive signs for the future of the franchise with consistent numbers all season, like a shining beacon for the future.
On the downside, Hanley Ramirez was hurt multiple times, missing almost all of the games that Lovullo managed. Pablo Sandoval also underperformed, a trend he followed all season.
Cherington's decision to have Ramirez play left field without ever having played the position at the major league level proved costly, as Ramirez was one of the worst defensive players in baseball with a .984 fielding percentage.
Decisions like these beg the question: Do teams play badly because of personnel decisions or managerial decisions?
According to The Boston Globe, the team's success under Lovullo impressed many members of the front office of both the Red Sox and other teams around the league.
Members of the front office and ownership were impressed by his managerial skills. It also left them thinking: what about Farrell?
Dave Dombrowski had a tough decision to make, and many wondered how he would handle the situation.
Who would manage the team in 2016? Dombrowski continuously claimed that if Farrell were healthy enough, then he would return.
After the team finished with a 78-84 record, fans and the front office ended up reasonably satisfied as a result of the team's late improvement.
During the last month and a half of the 2015 season, the team looked like they were driven by John Farrell's diagnosis announcement.
This was reminiscent of the 2013 World Series Champion Red Sox team that came together as a symbol for hope after the Boston Marathon Bombing. That improbable run came after a last place finish in the 2012 season under short-tenured manager Bobby Valentine.
Farrell was brought in as manager from the Toronto Blue Jays along with Lovullo, who would be promoted from first base coach to bench coach.
Farrell led the team to a World Series championship in his first season as manager. The team finished in the cellar in his second and third seasons, just as they had before his arrival. The roster was overhauled, the team completely reshaped.
Still, they played poorly.
Farrell underwent six months worth of chemotherapy in eight weeks. He's a fighter.
The team fought for him in his absence. Farrell is in remission and will be returning to manage next season.
There was popular opinion that Lovullo become the full time manager.
There was even speculation that Farrell getting cancer is what saved his job.
One can't help but wonder if the team improved because of a change in manager or a change in atmosphere.
Dombrowski countered the move to keep Farrell by signing Lovullo to a two-year extension as bench coach that would require him to veto the right to pursue any open managerial positions in baseball.
Surprisingly, Lovullo didn't want to leave to pursue a bigger job.
This move proves how intelligent Dombrowski is compared to Cherington. He protected his new team as if he'd been on board for years.
By keeping Lovullo on, the team has a proven manager that could step in should Farrell become ill again.
Many changes are coming this offseason, one including the hiring of new GM Mike Hazen, that are going reshape this team into a contender again. They have the pieces to do it. With a better roster, the team will have no excuse but to improve.
Should Farrell manage the team into yet another poor finish, expect him to be removed from his managerial position.
It's highly unlikely that Farrell would leave the team though, as he would likely get bumped up to a front office position. The Sox could then turn to Lovullo, who they have seen do the job well.
The front office has changed, and soon so will the team. There will be new additions and many subtractions to the roster. Some things are the manager's fault, but sometimes it's the team they're given.
Will Farrell stay healthy and successfully manage the team, or will Lovullo take over if the team has another poor start?
Will the team keep playing for John as hard as they did under Lovullo, or did they only start living up to their potential because they had something to play for?
Changes are coming and the team is going to be expected to win.
The team will have to wait to see how Farrell handles the new team, and decide his future from there.

I get asked this a lot as there is still confusion around the subject. We mostly know what hashtags do by now but gaining the correct one for your event or business can still prove a struggle. The good news is that you don't need to register anything, and it doesn't need to cost you anything, but you do need to do great at searching.
It's ideal that your hashtag can be used on both Twitter and Instagram as they are the popular go to social medias these days which use hashtags (Please don't use Hashtags on Facebook and LinkedIn as it's just cringe! Sorry, not sorry for saying this…) Even hashtag usage is slightly different on Twitter and Instagram but let's get the basics right firstly.
Your hashtag needs to be quick for someone to type in and reflect well in printed media (PR) also. You often see hashtags on TV programs, which flash up as the intro credits roll. The hashtag needs to be noted down quickly in this instance. In case of TV programs, people can then follow along with the online gossip from home after doing a search on the hashtag to see what everyone else is saying about this topic at the same time. Like a virtual gathering if you will. If this gets popular enough then you have got yourself a 'trend'.
The best thing when choosing a hashtag (searching) for your event is not to hijack someone elses. You will only get their updates mixed in with yours and it makes it hard for the audience, who will be looking for your content and reportage from the day.
Do make sure that your hashtag can't be misinterpreted. Words look slightly different when squashed together without spaces and the most innocent of taking out of these spaces can create new words. Yes it does happen. I often use the 'hashtag fail' of Susan Album Party (Susan Boyle) when I'm training. If you want to work this one out then take put the punctuation and the spaces, and what do you get?!

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan committed a cardinal sin of the internet Thursday: He delivered remarks while gesticulating toward presentation material on a screen. That's a recipe ripe for memery, given how easy it is for users to Photoshop images onto a blank sign.
Twitter didn't disappoint when Ryan, a Republican from Wisconsin, delivered his PowerPoint presentation defending an embattled bill — which has been backed by both the speaker and President Donald Trump —to replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The bill has been criticized by Democrats, of course, but it has also been torn apart by many GOP legislators, conservative groups and right-leaning media outlets for not walking back enough of Obamacare while also failing to live up to promises to improve health care quality for working people.
Ryan didn't really address this divide in his speech, instead choosing to focus more on attacking Obamacare.
"The whole idea of Obamacare is … the people who are healthy pay for the people who are sick. It's not working, and that's why it's in a death spiral," he said.
While Ryan may have gotten his point across in the presentation, posted below are a dozen tweets lampooning him Thursday:
1. Daily Beast writer Gideon Resnick compared Ryan to Michael Scott, regional manager at Dunder Mifflin Scranton from "The Office"
2. CNN correspondent Diane Gallagher commented on Ryan's posture
3. Julia Reinstein of BuzzFeed got trippy
4. Help wanted
5. Shoshana Weissmann commented on Ryan's facial hair
6. Dan Amira, a Daily Show writer, was committed to the meme
7. The dress obviously got involved because it will never go away
8. Profit!
9. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., even got in on the fun
10. Did you know the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals?
11. This is fine
12. Ah yes, the old U.S. of A.

An IRA that's relatively modest, when you retire, still can generate a substantial amount for your beneficiaries, if you pass the account to them on your death and the distributions are extended to the limit. However, many things can go wrong.
How can you choose the right bank, broker, or mutual fund company handling your IRA?
* Don't deal with the person sitting behind the customer service desk or a phone rep. Chances are, that person has little or no training on complex IRA issues.
* Look for a separate pension department. Specialists are needed to keep up with all the rules. Small institutions that try to "make do" with general advice may not have enough know-how.
* Interview the custodian's pension specialists. If significant amounts are involved, it's worthwhile to get together with representatives of the institution before making any commitments.
* Look before leaping. Before placing your money with an IRA custodian, find out if it permits the stretchout IRA you desire.
* Focus on the forms. If you already have one or more IRAs, make sure you have a form on file with the provider. (That is, make sure it hasn't been lost).
If your beneficiary form can't be located, fill out a new one or supply your own, using the procedures described above.
* Check all the information on your beneficiary form for accuracy. Some errors–an incorrect birth date, for example–can have serious consequences.
* Keep copies of all correspondence regarding IRA distributions. Have your professional adviser keep these documents so they can be produced if and when a dispute arises. With so many mergers among financial institutions, beneficiary forms may be mislaid. Make sure you have your own acknowledged copies and your heirs know where they are.

In the hot seat today is Tamsin Rose, a 23-year-old student from London. She's currently studying Animal Management / Behaviour and welfare. She also helped create Bright Zine, a new ethical lifestyle zine born in London.
How long have you been vegan?
My decision coincided with New Year's Day last year – so just over a year.
What was your diet like before?
I've been vegetarian since I was 12 years old. My sister dared me not to eat the fish fingers my mum had cooked me, she's 5 and a half years older than me and decided to go vegetarian when she was 11 years old. Her words were "you could never be a vegetarian" and well, I'm really stubborn.
What was the tipping point that made you go vegan?
I was travelling throughout Asia late 2015 / early 2016, I met up with some friends in China and we were eating in Shanghai on New Year's Day. I ordered this grilled tomato, aubergine garlic dish with rice, and half way through eating it, I noticed there were loads of tiny ground up mincemeat style pieces all over the dish. I realised I was eating an animal's flesh.
I ran to the bathroom I was crying so much I literally couldn't breathe (I'm so dramatic). I figured I would never really know what animal I'd eaten, we were in a restaurant where they served bullfrog, pigeon and rat, like most restaurants in China. It was the moment where my brain clicked, it was like I'd finally seen what everyone had been showing me. I never wanted to consume anything that had come from an animal ever again.
I figured I would never really know what animal I'd eaten.
Did you do much research beforehand? If so, can you remember where?
I used HappyCow from that moment on and pretty much only ate at vegan places throughout the rest of my trip. I was volunteering with an Animal Rescue charity in Vietnam so they also had loads of tips for vegan spots too!
Did you have a supportive network of family and friends around you? Are any of them vegan?
100%. My sister, Laura, is without a doubt the queen of my support system. I've had many friends go vegan this year and have since built stronger and closer relationships with them too.
My parents are also really supportive of literally anything I do, they're really animal activists at heart, even though my dad will deny it. My mum goes to protests with us too, they're all on their own vegan journey and learning to eat and live compassionately and I am honestly so lucky to be a part of a family who are this open-minded, I know many people struggle with being the only vegan in the family.
What did you think you'd miss the most, if anything?
I thought I'd miss cheese but I honestly don't, not even a tiny bit. Once I got over the first three/four months of the initial change, I really feel like I got over myself and realised I hadn't given up anything I just changed my views on what I wanted to eat, I didn't want to eat the cheese (because let's face it, cheese is really not healthy and is full of the grossest stuff). I also thought I'd miss scrambled eggs, then I read about the male chicks and yeah, I really don't miss eggs either.
Did you have any accidental or purposeful slip ups in your first month?
Man, I was really drunk/sleepy/hungover in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and asked the hotel to order me a pizza because I could just about move my limbs to pick up the phone. I forgot to ask for no cheese and then the cheesiest pizza ever turned up so I scraped it all off and ate it. I felt guilty for a week.
What was your go-to recipe or meal for the first month?
I was travelling so I was always eating at loads of different restaurants, but when I finally settled in Vietnam I ate sticky rice, tofu and green beans with sweet soy sauce for about 2 weeks. I couldn't get enough of it and I've never been able to make it the same back home, I even asked the family I lived with to send me the recipe, I guess our green beans just taste different.
How did you find the first month?
Surprisingly easy, having been veggie for so long it wasn't that much of a shock to my system.
What's the vegan scene like in London?
It's buzzing. So many people are going vegan at such a fast rate, the demand is so high so there are vegan menus at most restaurants, a huge free-from section in every supermarket, vegan bakeries popping up. It's really great.
Was there anything that you learned was vegan that you didn't think it would be?
Oreos. Jammie Dodgers. Strawberry Laces. I'm all about the vegan junk food. I'm still offended that the majority of Quorn products aren't vegan… what is that about?
I'm all about the vegan junk food.
What did you wish you'd known then that you know now?
That people will tell you how much they love eating meat, how they can never give it up, that they only eat chicken and only buy organic steaks but it's only because it's just so juicy that they just absolutely love it so much and can't live without it, "but bacon" and "omg cheese" and I have to listen to it and let them justify it to themselves over and over again.
No one likes an angry person, especially with such 'militant' views like a vegan. But you listen to it because 4 weeks later, they'll make the connection and send you a message letting you know they're trying vegan foods and enjoying it. You'll watch their Instagram flood with all the vegan posts, hashtags included, and be glad you politely educated them that one time they told you how much they loved juicy steak, because now they're going to live a healthy cruelty-free life.
What would be your advice to anyone thinking of going vegan?
Be confident in yourself, you're not addicted to cheese, you're addicted to the idea of it. Give yourself some credit, you can do it!

Love2Read, I love …
Its Valentines day tomorrow and how better to celebrate than by teaching Jack about those who love him.
Love2Read was set up by Caroline, a qualified teacher with over 15 years experience in primary school classrooms, to help her middle child who has special needs. Each book is designed to spark a love of reading by using pictures of people or items the child knows and linking them with keywords.
Jack and I choose the 'I love..' book and using 10 pictures of our family produced a lovely collection of photos in as little as 10 minutes. Once I had finished I was able to view the book virtually incase I needed to make any changes. The books cost £14.99 but are reduced in price per unit when more than 2 books are purchased. You can also buy gift vouchers so others can create the books themselves. There are templates for every imaginable occasion, Mothers/Fathers day, birthdays, Christmas, focusing on a family member or simply a book all about themselves.
Jack is picking up new words everyday but has previously only said Mummy and Daddy. Within minutes of opening his book and scanning the pictures he surprised both Daddy and I by saying Grandma, Nanny and Grandad!
I was very impressed with the quality of the photos in the glossy pages and being wipe cleaning is definitely a plus with a dribbly book obsessed toddler. The only change I would make is by creating slightly sturdier books as little hands can bend them quite easily.
You can make your own book on www.love2read.co.uk

The Newquay Business Improvement District is working with Piece of Cake Training to offer a series of Social Media Course's at a discounted amount for all BID members.
Social Media is now an important part of marketing strategy for many businesses and best of all it's FREE! If you haven't taken the plunge with Facebook or Twitter yet and don't know where to start, these courses are for you.
Each place on the course costs £15 however BID members will only be asked to pay £7.50 and the BID will subsidise the remaining £7.50. BID members have the choice of four courses; there will be a novice/beginners course as well as an intermediate/improver course for both Facebook and Twitter.
Novices will learn why social media is important, how to set up an account and/or page and how to start following businesses and people. Intermediates/Improvers will learn how to make their social media accounts work harder for your business and increase your likes and followers.
Sam White, of Piece of Cake Training wants businesses to realise that "Using social media for your business isn't nearly as complicated or scary as it may seem. Once you get going, it really can help you promote your business and build relationships with your customers; and all for free, apart from your time. What's more, people are more and more expecting you to be on social media to find out about you and ask you questions; and if you're not there, they will move on to a competitor who is. Social media has really helped us to build our business and we are looking forward to showing you how it could do the same for yours!"
Marketing and PR Assistant for the Newquay BID notes that "social media is currently the fastest growing digital medium and it makes complete sense for businesses in Newquay to make the most of the extensive opportunities that are available to them. Social Media is generally free but if businesses do choose to invest money in to their social media platforms even then the costs involved are miniscule compared to alternative forms of marketing.
"It is also a great way for businesses to drive traffic to their website. Consumers rely on social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter for reviews before buying a product or service. If you know how to manage your social media accounts correctly and effectively then the opportunities to manage your reputation are immense."
There will be 8 possible courses for BID members to choose from over 4 separate dates in the first two weeks of October. There will be courses in the day and evening to suit different working hours depending on the hours your business may run. Each course will be taught in a bite size 2 hour session making it easy and accessible for you as a business owner. All you need to do is to remember to bring along your laptop or tablet.
If you would like more information about the courses times or dates, then please contact the Newquay BID on 01637498599 or email Alice on email@example.com. Please note that if you are not a BID member but are interested in booking a place on the course then please still get in touch, non BID members will however need to pay the full price of £15.

The Watch Dog reported the following, Breaking News – A complaint and request for investigation was lodged against NC Democrat Senator Angela Bryant for wrongful non-compliance of SBOE regulation violations on yesterday. I will respond to this later today.
The State Board of Elections took action against state Sen. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, over fliers distributed by her campaign during the early voting period before Tuesday's primaries, a board official said Thursday.
After an inquiry, the board identified legal issues with the fliers and required Bryant to sign a "Statement of Understanding" March 8, acknowledging that she understood the relevant laws about election materials.
The board also required Bryant to take out an ad in The Wilson Times. The ad, headlined "Paid for by the Committee to Elect Angela Bryant," said fliers were distributed by the committee "in error" and said the issue had been corrected.
The fliers included the words "Keep Senator Angela Bryant" and information about her. They also showed an image of a ballot with ovals colored in for certain candidates, including Bryant. (Source: Read more)

C Squared Writes $100,000 Out to Charities
Carty Davis of C Squared Advisors
As part of its new charitable initiative, C Squared Gives Back, investment banking firm C Squared Advisors recently announced an inaugural donation of more than $100,000 to benefit 15-plus charities nationwide. The program was established in 2019 to give C Squared and its clients a way to give back to both the franchising industry and organizations in the communities where they work and live.
C Squared is allocating a substantial portion of all transaction success fees toward charitable organizations, with the company's clients directing half of the donated funds to a charity of their choice while the principals at C Squared direct the remaining funds.
Each of C Squared's principals—Carty Davis, Dan Connelly, Pat McCauley, and Brent Elsass—have the opportunity to designate donations to charities and organizations that are close to their hearts.
"One of the primary reasons Pat, Brent and I all joined C Squared was the charitable mindset," Connelly said. "It's been so rewarding being in a position to make a difference, even in a small way, for things we care about."
And it is a win for clients, said McCauley. "They appreciate that money is going to a charity close to their hearts."
"For me it is big, I am a believer in giving back," said Davis. "I feel like most of the people we are associated with professionally, we are on the lucky side of the equation. It is our obligation as successful businesspeople to give back. I feel like that in my core."
For more information on C Squared, contact Carty Davis at (910) 550-1035 x101, or at email@example.com.

Isn't it ironic? Mystery Shoppers in Australia are part of a super-exciting industry, but one that can't be talked about!
While it would be great to be able to share stories of your Mystery Shopping adventures with friends and family, the best shoppers know they must protect their identity and not make a name for themselves as a Mystery Shopper. So who can you talk to? Share ideas with? Learn from? Fellow Australian Mystery Shoppers of course!
If you are interested in learning more about our industry and cyber-chatting with other mystery shoppers from around the country- head over to the Australian Mystery Shoppers Forum and see what's been happening behind the scenes this week in the wonderful world of Mystery Shopping. Share your stories, mistakes and tips with other mystery shoppers and learn from theirs as well.
Keep in mind, all discussions should be generalised and client names are not permitted in posts; your Mystery Shopping results are still confidential and all care should be taken to protect the clients and team members being surveyed.
While other Mystery Shopping providers may not want this valuable resource getting too popular, here at Above Benchmark, we encourage all of our Mystery Shoppers to join the forum. It's a fantastic place to learn mystery shopping trips and of course, to get more work as a mystery shopper.
All Australian Mystery Shoppers should join the forum today!

AMHERST— If you're a high school basketball player and your team is in the Western Mass. bracket, it's all about getting to the Cage in March.
The Cage, of course, is the historic Curry Hicks gymnasium on the campus of UMass-Amherst.
Well, the Narragansett Regional boys team got to the Cage Tuesday night. And the Warriors are going back.
After knocking off No. 2 seed Frontier, 60-55, in the WMass Div. 3 semifinals, the third-seeded Warriors, now 21-3, will face top-seeded Sabis for the championship on Saturday at 4 p.m.
"This was one of our goals from the start of the year. It's just incredible to keep the train rolling," said Narragansett senior Tyler Dill, who along with senior Ben Edwards led the way in scoring against the Red Hawks, both hitting for 16 points.
Narragansett coach Rich Zalneraitis said he didn't make any major game plan changes against Frontier with its towering Carey brothers—6-foot-8 senior Peter and his 6-foot-9 sophomore brother, Carsten.
"It was really hard to score against them," said Edwards, who had the answers from the perimeter, especially in the first quarter, scoring all 11 of the Warriors' points including a trio of 3-pointers.
"We just played our game, and now we get to play again," Zalneraitis said.
Reflecting on his coaching style, Zalneraitis added, "I had an old college professor once who was talking about parenting and raising adolescents and he said, 'You can't be a railroad track and you also can't be careless. There's got to be guardrails on the highway of life with some little adjustments here and there.' I have wonderful young men on this team and really no single most valuable player. I could give you no less than five names for MVP."
"We put everything we had on the floor," said talented junior guard Freddie Monette-Harris, who scored 10 points against the Red Hawks.
Of concern heading into the semifinal game was the status of Dill, who injured his left wrist during his high school gym class and sat out the quarterfinal game against Monument Mountain a week ago. Dill returned against Frontier and matched Edwards as high scorer including a clutch reverse layup under and then over the long, outstretched arms of Carsten Carey with a little over a minute left.
Explaining his injury in gym class, Dill smiled and said, "I was just running, and I ran into a wall, kind of tweaked up my wrist. It wasn't the smartest decision I've made all year."
"Tyler was ready to go for this game," Zalneraitis said. "I said to the basketball gods, just let us give this a shot with everybody healthy and we'll see what we can do."
What they did was keep the train rolling.
"We went out to West Springfield in the preseason and scrimmaged a lot of great teams there including Frontier, so we had some prior experience against them," said Narragansett senior Myles Jacques who had six points. And Bromfield, who we played in the Clark had some big guys too."
And now comes Sabis, a charter school in Springfield, WMass Div. 3 champions four times since 2006, and another strong challenge for the Warriors.
Asked about playing in the Western Mass. playoffs rather than in Central Mass., Zalneraitis said, "I love being here, it's fun. It's like going to the NCAA's. It puts you in a region that you've never been before." He then added with a laugh, "Although we have to scout teams a lot. I owe my assistant coach Eric Ramos a lot of gas money."
So it's back to the Cage on Saturday, the same hallowed place where Julius "Dr. J" Erving, perhaps UMass' greatest athlete, rocked the college hoop world from 1969 to 1971 before his Hall of Fame pro career.
"I like the smell of this place," said Edwards after the win against Frontier. "It smells just like an old book."
And speaking of the old days, although 48 years have passed, 1971 remains a very special for Narragansett hoop fans.
"That was the year of our only district championship," said Zalneraitis. "We look up at that banner every day in practice. We would like to equal that, and if we can, we can do something nobody else has ever done."

The 2017 Volt electric car with extended range offers a sleek, sporty design. With its efficient propulsion system, the 2017 Chevrolet Volt offers an estimated total driving range of more than 400 miles, and with regular charging, owners are expected to travel more than 1,000 miles on average between gas fill-ups.
The Chevrolet Volt's technology and range advancements are complemented by a design blending sculpted, muscular proportions with aerodynamic efficiency, and an all-new interior with seating for five and improved functionality.
The Volt's second-generation Voltec extended range electric vehicle propulsion system is the power behind the increased all-electric driving range, greater efficiency, and stronger acceleration. It was engineered based on the driving behaviors of first-gen Volt owners.
The battery technology uses an 18.4 kWh battery system featuring cell chemistry developed in conjunction with LG Chem. While overall system storage capacity has increased, the number of cells have decreased from 288 to 192 as the result of a revised chemistry from the earlier generation Volt. The cells are positioned lower in the pack for an improved (lower) center of gravity and the overall mass of the pack is 21 pounds lighter.
Everything on the 2017 Volt, from charging the battery and checking the charge status, to the intuitiveness of instrument panel controls, was designed for easier use.
The 2017 Volt also has a muscular design incorporating Chevrolet performance vehicle DNA-inspired cues refined in the wind tunnel. Further, new features, including active grille shutters, help balance design with efficiency.

"Whatever exists is far off and most profound— who can discover it?"
Ecclesiastes 7.24 NIV
The nature of reality and its reason for existence is a mystery to man without a revelation of God. Solomon recognizes the murkiness of being. Man cannot answer the question that inevitably forms on his lips, "Why am I here?"
God provides the answer in Christ: "these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!" Colossians 2.17.

Now I know men that don't even speak 437 words in a day let alone that many questions, so I decided to do a little experiment. After all, you can take the girl out of the research lab, but you can't take the researcher out of the girl.
So for one day last week I followed the Blonde Bombshell around with a piece of paper and pen and tallied up every time she asked a question. To make it even more interesting, I counted separately each time she asked for food, and each time she simply asked "why?" (perhaps the most irritating question a four-year old can ask).
I learned some very interesting things.
* The Bombshell managed to ask 167 questions in little over 13 hours.
* Therefore, there must be a bunch of kids out there that do not stop asking questions, because if The Bombshell came in drastically below average, there are some poor mums out there who have to field over 700 questions a day (my sympathies).
* While I would have estimated that the Bombshell asked 'why?' at least a thousand times a day, she in fact only said it 12 times. 12 was enough.
* Similarly, she only asked for food 12 times over the course of the day. This could be because she often just helps herself to food in the cupboard anyway.
* I have come to the conclusion that if she had better manners, her count would have been much higher, because 'I want to watch TV' can't be classified as a question, but had she said 'Please can I watch TV?' she she would have another point. Perhaps the researchers* just had super polite kids.
* Not every question she asked was grammatically correct, but I still gave her the point. If she repeated the same question to make a statement, she got two points. If the question was asked in that awful whiney voice that preschoolers use, she got the point but also got a lecture. If she sang the question, she got a point and a smile. If the question was 'can I have Mummy cuddles?' the answer was always 'yes'.
Do you like this? Does it look pretty?

I'm 40k words into this one, another 80k to go, planning to wrap up in June. In the meantime, here's a character study I drew in five separate pieces in the Brushes app on the iPad, and then assembled into this collage in Photoshop. You can probably guess that this is a little different from the books I normally write.
What do you think of my main character's shirt design?
More on this new story when I can tell you more!

It's no secret that Cardi B is loved for her relatability, particularly when it comes to her affordable fashion 'fits. While she's been open on social media about being a fan of inexpensive brands like Fashion Nova, apparently there's another brand that the Bronx-bred rapper is also a fan of.
Cardi recently shared a video on Twitter rapping along to Lil Yachty's new single, "Who Want The Smoke?" In the short snippet, she's seen wearing a floral off-the-shoulder maxi dress. When one fan asked her where the dress was from, Cardi B simply responded: Target.
As one fan mentioned, "Now everyone [is] going to Target!!!! Love the way that Cardi is!! Always humble!"
The dress, which is actually from Target's in-house label Xhilaration, is currently available online for only $21. Buy yours here.

As we look back on the many achievements of 2018, we are inspired and truly proud of all we have accomplished together. Let's recap, following the calendar year…
Winter 2018
UITP kicked off the New Year in 2018 by welcoming a new Secretary General, Mohamed Mezghani. Under this new leadership, the Secretariat of UITP has defined new strategic priorities and a new departmental structure to keep our work processes as efficient and effective as possible.
'Digitalisation' was again a buzz word in our 2018 communications, starting with the release of the Knowledge Brief Digital preparedness in public transport, which shared figures from a survey we sent to our members. We were happy to see that around 58% of respondents already have a strategy for digital transformation in their businesses!
Further within the expansive theme of digitalisation, IT-TRANS 2018 was our best edition yet, with over 580 participants in the Conference and 6,000 Exhibition visitors! Everyone in attendance will forever remember the striking words of our keynote speaker, Olivier van Duüren, as he said: "Data is the new oil. AI is the new electricity. Every company is a software company. That's the future."
UITP also took a firm role in the conversation on gender equality in March 2018, most notably, on International Women's Day (8 March 2018), when UITP and the World Bank joined forces to launch a memorable awareness campaign 'PT4ME, PT4YOU, PT4ALL' which emphasised the importance of creating a safe and accessible public transport environment for all with a powerful video.
Spring 2018
As a follow-up to our 2017 Policy Brief on autonomous vehicles, UITP launched the SPACE (Shared Personalised Automated Connected vEhicles) project which solidifies the positioning of the public transport sector as leaders in the autonomous revolution.
In April, the MENA Transport Congress & Exhibition 2018 was another big success, with over 900 delegates in attendance! Held under the theme 'Pioneering for customer happiness', UITP President Pere Calvet opened the Congress by reminding us all that "customers are the core business of urban mobility. Happiness is our most valuable return on investment."
UITP expanded its ever-growing network this year by partnering up with United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) to create the Mobility Champions Community which gathers mayors and city leaders from around the world, working in thematic clusters related to sustainable urban mobility.
"We need to dare to look into a future where cars will not dictate mobility," said Emilia Saiz, Secretary General of UCLG.
Always pushing the sector forward towards zero emissions, UITP released two key publications to support the design and tendering of electric buses. The Design Charter for Innovative Electric Buses, a product created through the European Bus System of the Future 2 (EBSF_2) project, utilises the transition to electromobility as an opportunity to improve customer experience. The UITP Bus Tender Structure Report serves as an update to our previously published guidance document for tendering buses to incorporate the evolving introduction of electric buses.
Summer 2018
In July 2018, UITP held its third successful event of the year: the Singapore International Transport Congress and Exhibition (SITCE), held in conjunction with the International Rail Conference. Under the theme 'People at the heart of digital railways', this event brought 630 delegates from around the world to Singapore.
In addition, UITP published a new Statistics Brief sharing World Metro Figures. UITP collected extensive data for a series of key indicators for all metros in the world including ridership, number of lines, network length, number of stations, and – new for this edition – fleet size.
Aside from our key knowledge publications, advocacy initiatives, and successful events, 2018 also saw a rise in the amount and variety of our training programmes, reaching a total of 200 training days around the world!
Autumn 2018
UITP staff started telling the world the story of 'the Art of Public Transport' as registrations opened this September for the next Global Public Transport Summit in Stockholm, Sweden! We'll see you there from 9-12 June 2019!
Later in September, UITP and our member Transport for London (TfL) jointly hosted a CEO Forum in London to promote better understanding of diversity and inclusion in the public transport sector. Diversity in the public transport workforce is crucial for the sector's advancement, and we are working hard to provide recommendations on how to achieve a better gender balance in 2019.
We also committed to improving the quality of life in cities, as UITP collaborated with the World Health Organization and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to ensure our actions to improve healthy cities are strengthened and coordinated. UITP published a Policy Brief which includes four recommendations on Integrating mobility health impact in decision-making, in tandem to these partnerships. This Policy Brief insists that public transport is key to enabling active modes and improving air quality.
In addition to health, UITP released another key Policy Brief Public transport as an instrument for urban regeneration, which demonstrates that public transport is an instrument in revitalising, regenerating and supporting growth in deprived areas.
In November 2018, UITP held an Extraordinary General Assembly where our members gathered in Brussels to approve a draft of the new UITP bylaws and elect the Association's first-ever Deputy President, Ian Dobbs.
In December, we were highly involved in COP24! Selected as an official partner of the UNFCCC, we were honoured to have had the opportunity to feature in their Facebook Live in a very special interview. Alongside UIC, we were the only public transport association granted this status!
During COP24, UITP also teamed up with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, WHO and the City of Katowice, to launch our unique 'hanging cards' as part of the Breathe Life campaign. These cards were displayed on all modes of public transport in the city!
Our Policy Board members in Lyon, France, also renewed the 2014 Declaration on Climate Leadership in the context of COP24 by committing to communicating on their future climate actions.
There is much more that we could say, but we'll leave it at that! Thank you all for a fantastic year—we're looking forward to seeing what 2019 will bring as we continue to advance public transport.

I'm now 20 days into writing my book on the 19th Century Barrys. Here is a quick recap on the pros and cons of the process so far.
- In some ways writing has been easier than I thought once my thoughts are clear.
- I've enjoyed the process. Unlike commuting into the office I don't consider it a daily grind.
- Starting to write while finishing off my regular employment has helped, as well as writing content for this website on John Wolfe Barry over the last year and a half.
- Setting yourself weekly and longer goals helps to motivate and break down into achievable targets of word counts.
- It is still easy to be distracted wherever you write. I've tried a few places and none of them is ideal. The photo is of a seafront which inspires me occasionally. But switching around probably helps me.
- I still tend to dip into research material both to remind myself of the facts and to see if I can find previously undiscovered angles. This can hold me up.
- I get comments like 'how's the holiday?' which infuriate me, or 'how's the job search going?' which merely irritate. Most people still won't accept that you can spend most of your time writing unless you have a contract or are in employment. It's some kind of luxury.
That's all for now, got to get back to the drafting ….

Residents of Council Districts 6 and 8 to Vote on Publicly Funded Projects
Voting to Be Held Feb 15 through March 15
After months of working together to collect and review more than 400 ideas, residents of Metro Council Districts 6 and 8 will vote on how to spend $200,000.00 in public funds beginning February 15. The Our Money Our Voice participatory budgeting initiative allots $100,000 per district for projects residents identify as improving health, safety and well-being. Residents age 14 and over will have an opportunity to vote at District Voter Expos or online. Each person can vote for up to five projects.
Our Money, Our Voice is being piloted using $100,000 in capital infrastructure funds set aside by Council President David James (District 6) and Councilman Brandon Coan (District 8), $50,000 in funds from Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness, and $50,000 from the Humana Foundation.
"Our Money, Our Voice empowers neighborhood residents to make decisions about how money is spent in their neighborhoods," said District 6 Councilman and Council President, David James. "I applaud the many volunteers who knocked on doors to talk with their neighbors to solicit ideas and then vet them for feasibility. It's exciting that we're now at the voting phase of the project."
"The project strengthens democracy by getting people involved in the work of government and in the decisions that effect their lives," said District 8 Councilman Brandon Coan."I encourage all residents of Districts 6 and 8 to make sure to vote – either in person or online."
Projects residents can vote on include alleyway and sidewalk improvements, implementing community center programs, adding street lights, litter bins or drinking fountains, and enhancing playgrounds. Residents can vote in person at "District Voter Expos." At these expos, residents can meet their neighbors and volunteers who made this opportunity possible and learn more about how the final projects were selected. (See below for more information on District Voter Expos.)
On-line voting will also be available. Residents who wish to make digital absentee votes should sign up with Mobileserve to request a voter access code for an on-line ballot. A link to request a voter access code as well as a sample ballot can be obtained at www.OurMoneyOurVoice.com.
"Participatory budgeting is a way for residents of a community to work together to better meet their needs while having a direct say in government decisions," said Dr. Sarah Moyer, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness and Chief Health Strategist for the city. "Engaging the community is essential for public health and critical for helping us get to our vision of a healthy Louisville where everyone and every community thrives."
Participatory budgeting has been practiced in the United States since 2009 in such cities as Hartford, CT; Greensboro, NC; New York and Chicago.

NATURE'S MIRACLE Sophisticated Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampoo is the optimal answer for Nature's Miracle users seeking to proficiently take away pet stains and odors from significant locations of carpet. According to quite a few customers, it also does a actually superior job with carpet cleaning, removing difficult spots and stains, including pet urine and other messes. The Odor Quit Technology eliminates pet odors, freshens with a light, clean scent, and discourages pet re-soiling.
The reality that Bissell has given everyday consumers the likelihood to purchase this machine is a superb step forward for home owners, but it does come at a price – very literally – the cost becoming nicely above what other bog-standard machines fetch in retailer.
Equivalent to the Hoover SteamVac, Bissell ProHeat 2X can apply additional cleaning remedy with the press of a button and Bissell call it CleanShot technology. If you have guests coming more than or a celebration planned, you can clean at the final minute devoid of worrying about rental availability at the retailer. I'm acquiring rid of the carpet quickly, but meanwhile this stuff performs quite nicely each for removing light stains-it does not get old or dark ones-and for freshening up the room. If you are torn amongst finding an upright cleaner and a portable spot cleaner, Bissell's lift-off combination cleaners may perhaps provide you the flexibility that you require. And a pet tool can get cleaning option deeper into your carpet, which can aid get rid of stubborn stains and superior deodorize those spots.
Apply to no much more than a two-by-5-foot location at a time to prevent moist powder from drying out. If your carpet cleaner has a extended cord, you will not often have to cease what you are doing to switch to another outlet. The single best portion of this cleaner is that the clean water and dirty water are separated (there is a bladder inside the tank).
Owning the machine takes away the concern for constant pick up and return, so you don't have to haul the machine into the trunk or back of your automobile or worry about having water everywhere – you can get sneaky spills if you don't totally dry carpet cleaners.
