The other day I was thinking wayyyy too hard about nothing in particular, and I thought about the simple ambiguity of naming ourselves.
From the movie Orgasmo:
- Maxxx Orbison:
- What's your name, again?
- Sancho:
- I am Sancho.
- Maxxx Orbison:
- Look, I get a lot of people auditioning all the time. What makes you think that you'd be good enough for porno?
- Sancho:
- I am Sancho.
- Maxxx Orbison:
- Great… but what do you do?
- Sancho:
- What do I do? I am Sancho.
- Maxxx Orbison:
- And…?
- Sancho:
- And there are many Jeffs in the world, and many Toms as well. But I… am Sancho.
- Maxxx Orbison:
- And…?
- Sancho:
- Are you Sancho? No you are not. Neither is Scott Baio Sancho. Frank Gifford is not Sancho. But I…
- Maxxx Orbison:
- You… are Sancho!
- Sancho:
- That's right.
- Maxxx Orbison:
- Okay, you're hired.
In a nutshell, Sancho is stating something more abstract than just his name. I can say "I am Tom Barta", but typically I just mean "My name is Tom Barta." This guy isn't just named Sancho, he is Sancho, and there is no other.
Think about it: what do you really mean if you go up to a stranger and ask, "Who are you?" The answer could be "John", "a businessman", "your neighbor", or "a pround Republican". Similarly, if you approach someone and say "Hi, I am John," I can imagine it would take a tiny bit more processing than saying "Hi, my name is John." If your name is rare (like Moon Unit or Apple), it's even more important to remove any ambiguity. "I am Apple" sounds like nonsense or pidgin.
There's a Nerd-Tangent Hidden in Every Real-Life Thought
There is a parallel between this and programming. The advent of object-oriented programming has popularized the notion of "object identity" versus "object equality". I can have two objects sitting in memory with identical data. Sometimes, that's just a programming error, and the same object has been copied unnecessarily (this happens frequently with caching or persistent systems). Sometimes, the two objects genuinely are different. How can I tell if one is just an alias, or if they are logically distinct?
It depends, of course. If I am looking at Value Objects, there's generally not a reason to distinguish them by identity. The color Red is always Red, even if I have two Reds. However, with Entities, identity is of utmost importance. Two John Smiths in a customer database represent different people. Another way to think about it is in the context of the Flyweight pattern. The two Reds could be replaced with a flyweight without affecting the program. However, the John Smiths couldn't.
Enter Programming Languages
Of course, programming languages that use objects must have some way of distinguishing object identity from object equality.
&a == &b
a == b
|Anyone care to fill this one in for me? I'm unaware of the semantics of
== and
a == b (coerce types to match) or
a === b (check types)
a is b
a == b
Whoops! Looks like PHP doesn't even have object identity! I'd like for someone to be able to refute this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. PHP documentation claims
=== means identical and
== means equal, but that certainly doesn't match the notion of object identity I just explained. Sadly, this essentially means that object identity will never truly work in PHP. Instead, we are left with "equal" and "more equal".
Does it Matter?
In the big picture, I don't think it hurts PHP programmers to lose object identity. Most PHP applications are business-logic interfaces sitting on top of relational databases. What's special about the RDBMS in this context? Well, object identity doesn't exist. I know Postgres has
oid and there are probably others, but using them for general applications seems to be unfavorable. In a database table, objects (tuples/records/rows) are identified by a primary key that disallows duplicates and frequently uses auto-incrementing integers. It's a trivial solution, really, to just assign a number to everyone who walks in the door (until you run out of numbers, of course).
Since the database enforces this uniqueness, I know that two customers both named John Smith will at least have different customer IDs. Social Security, credit cards, university student IDs, and phone numbers all revolve around this notion of unique numeric identity. Consequently, almost any PHP application using a RDBMS can simply piggyback upon the database's IDs and trivially state that
=== is now identical to

Today morning an interesting thing happened. While going for a morning bath, I noticed that the soap bar in the soap dish has worn off and I need a new soap bar for my morning shower. I took the new soap bar from the store cupboard and placed it in the soap dish. Now my soap dish had two soap bars, one which is a small piece, and one which is the newly opened fresh Soap bar
I was about to throw the small piece, but something stopped me, I thought the soap was still good and be used for a couple of more baths, how can I make the best use of this soap? So, I pressed it on the new soap bar and applied some water to it and the small piece of soap got perfectly glued to the new soap, and now I had only one soap in my soap dish which I can easily use for my bath, and extract the full value from the old soap
Isn't it something that many of us experienced sometimes in our life. And now to think of it, many of us do this in our everyday routine. The interesting fact is, the soaps are same. They may be from different brands, different colour, different sizes, different fragrances, yet most of the times they seamlessly join and integrate. The small soap bar gets absorbed in the new soap. Over a period, it loses its colour, fragrance, identity and becomes the new soap. What remains then is the soap, which diligently fulfils its objective of keeping you clean.
Can there be any learning out of this?
All the times in family businesses we talk about the generation gap, and differences among the two generations. These differences are largely due to:
- The role we play
- The responsibilities we shoulder
- The growth perspective we have about the business and for self
- The way to do business and
- The reward expected from the business
Just like the soap, all of us are not the same, we are raised in a different environment, we have a different exposure and different life experiences. The elder generation has seen a slow growth era under the tightly controlled business environment, while the new generation is exposed to the new world which is of the liberalised business environment coupled with internet connectivity. They have heard of success stories of entrepreneurs, who have become industry leaders in a decade.
Just like the soap – which helps you keep clean; similarly, the common objective of any business is to grow sustainably and create wealth.
We have to understand that the external business environment is changing very fast. And to remain relevant in this dynamic world, we not only need to adapt fast but also need to be open to see the emerging trends and proactively prepare to change.
Like the old soap which fades and integrates with the new soap, our success formulas of yesteryears, should fade and get integrated into new ways of doing things, which may be driven by automation or software systems, using tools for online data entry at the source which can give us real-time data for improved decision making. That is the only way to stay relevant and succeed in the coming times.
So, next time when your bathing soap wears off, remember it is giving you a hint to change

Excellent food, respecting old recipes while occasionally adding a twist. El Boo offers you high quality mediterrane cuisine with an amazing sea view! BUT, first things first. Let me tell you this: Barcelona is not a city where you sit at the table of any random restaurant to expect a decent meal. This food walhalla is full of restaurants and otherwise businesses that are only about capturing tourist euros by selling less than decent meals. And you'll find these cafes and restaurants not only on Las Ramblas but also in the neighborhood Barceloneta. You'll find lots of Chiringuitos (beach hu...Read more →
Another food hotspot in Amsterdam: Remise47. A cozy restaurant in a urban bistro style. And with their menu, you can go super healthy or enjoy guilty pleasures.

After tasting this delicious first course I was literally hungry for more! My 'plat principal' were the roasted and grilled mini vegetables, with black beans creme, antiboise, water cress and potato pancakes.. hmm, I never knew vegetables could taste this good! ...Read more →
It's lunchtime! I found a new spot with a beautiful terras where you can enjoy delicious food plus the amazing view. The spot I'm talking about is grand café The Tropen in Amsterdam.

During daytime this restaurant is known as Caffe Esprit but when the clock strikes 18:00 it transforms to bar-restaurant Jackson Dubois. And on the menu you will find worldly flavors of various street food dishes. And with every dish, Jackson Dubois, knows exactly which drink tastes the best. Me and my friend didn't know what the choose. The menu makes your mouth water. So we chose a few smaller dishes. Like that mini juicy burger that made us regret we didn't had the big burger! You know what else you can eat? Dutch croquettes, pulled pork buns, falafel, fish and chips.. should I continu...Read more →

As I am a staunch advocate of great food and delicious wine, I highly recommended you to go to ''Het Warenhuis'' in Amsterdam. This casual-dining restaurant has a relaxed, casual ambiance. No skirts, suits and shiny shoes needed behind the huge windows of Het Warenhuis. On the menu you will find a collection of small bites and French international dishes. Visit this restaurant for a good cup of coffee or a classic cocktail. Chill on the large lounge sofa or work at the table. From brunch to drinks! Me and mother went to Het Warenhuis to have dinner. We shared all of the food ...Read more →

Welcome everyone –
We're excited to have our chapter-mate, Melissa Cutler, with us today to talk about her debut release, The Trouble With Cowboys…
The Most Important Words
Melissa Cutler here, and I'm so excited to be on the RWA San Diego Chapter blog talking about the words you long to hear from a parent. Besides "I love you", I'd wager that "I'm proud of you" is the most profound statement a parent say make to a child. Some people live their whole lives waiting and wishing their parents would be proud of them, and many a great romance hero or heroine has been imagined around that wish.
My mom and I are pretty close. She's a great mom to me and an amazing grandma to my kids, and has always been effusive in telling me how much she loves me, but she's been notoriously unimpressed with my life accomplishments. She never explicitly told me she was proud of me until this year when my longtime dream of becoming a published writer came true.
Last month, I brought copies of my two debut releases to share with her. One of them is dedicated to her, in fact. She hugged me and told me she was proud of me. I was floored by how profound the actual words were to hear from a parent. I mean, she must've been proud of me at all those other times, right? I've had a great life and have done really darn well for myself in everything I've set out to do. But wow—those four words are really sticking with me.
Amy, the heroine in The Trouble with Cowboys, opts to remain a contestant on Ultimate Chef Showdown, a reality TV show, even though she's grieving her dad's untimely passing because she felt like it was the first thing she'd done that made him proud of her. Hearing those words from a parent is that powerful. What she longed to hear from her mom, but never did before her mom passed, was "I'm sorry."
On the other side of the coin, Kellan, the book's cowboy hero, has heard "I'm sorry" way too many times from his mom to believe it. Growing up, he never heard or felt his parents' pride in him and it gave him a serious, unrelenting drive to prove himself.
I'm a mom of two grade-school-age kids and really do my best to show them how proud I am of them and how much I love them. My mom certainly reminded me last month of how significant a parent's approval is to a child, at any age. It also reminded me that even though I'm grown, I'll never outgrow needing my mom—and that's a really good thing, if you ask me.
I'd love to hear from you now. Do the words "I'm proud of you" mean as much to you as they do me? What would you love to hear your parents tell you?
The Trouble with Cowboys is in stores now:

My thanks to the RWASD blog for hosting me today. I love hearing from readers and am really easy to find at www.melissacutler.net, on Facebook (www.facebook.com/MelissaCutlerBooks ), and Twitter (@m_cutler). And you can always email me at email@example.com or sign up for my newsletter (http://www.melissacutler.net/?page_id=255 ) to find out about my latest books and upcoming events.
Melissa Cutler is a flip-flop wearing Southern California native living with her husband, two rambunctious kids, and two suspicious cats in beautiful San Diego. Three things you should probably know about her are: she believes Judith from Julie Garwood's The Secret is the most perfect heroine in all of literature (sorry, Elizabeth Bennett), she's traveled to more countries in the world than states in the U.S., and she's certain that there are actually only two types of food in existence—those that taste better with hot sauce and those that taste better with whipped cream. She divides her time between her dual passions for writing sexy, small town contemporaries for Kensington Books and edge-of-your-seat romantic suspense for Harlequin

Cybersecurity is no game when it comes to the video game world. Like other electronic devices, they run the same risk of suffering from a cyber attack due to their internet connectivity. The following article will offer a few cybersecurity tips so that you can exercise security and caution while playing your favorite video games.
The dangers are the same as those that face any device. Through your video game console an experienced hacker can access personal data, credit card information or even violate your privacy through webcams. The problem is that most users of these devices are unaware of this risk, and do not take the appropriate measures.
Hackers and online video games
Video games allow interaction with other players, a tool that improves the gaming experience through competitiveness, however, this space exposes the user to possible attacks leading to private data and information loss.
Stealing virtual money, stealing player accounts (pishing), theft of personal data/credit cards, or even losing control of one´s device through malwares are the main objectives of a hacker in the world of video games.
Children are the most vulnerable to attract a hacker, they do not maintain the same level of caution and are unaware of where they are clicking. This can lead to downloaded viruses, or worse, data theft.
Cybersecurity tips for gaming consoles and online video games
Therefore, it is advisable to follow some basic cybersecurity measures for video games and online games. These will allow you to continue enjoying the game with peace of mind. Here are some tips:
- Do not reuse passwords used in other games or devices, because if it is compromised, they will have access to other services.
- Eliminate the protection measures predetermined by the manufacturer, change them and adjust them to your specifications.
- Do not trust any notification that asks you to change your username and password.
- Download the games from the official websites.
- In the case of computers and mobile phones, always keep an updated antivirus.
- Avoid entering your credit card information, unless it is strictly necessary.
- As for children, establish strict parental controls to prevent them from entering unknown pages or links.
- Inform children of basic notions of cybersecurity that are appropriate to their age.
- Monitor and control what the children in your charge access on the internet.
- Protect important files that you save on the mobile devices you use to play. You can use HushApp and ensure that your information will be safe.
There is no doubt that these games provide entertainment for the whole family, however, we should not lack awareness when it comes to cybersecurity in video games. We can all be victims of cyber attacks.

Arcadia Theater suit settled; venue's future uncertain
KERRVILLE — Prominent local businessmen who'd once partnered to renovate the Arcadia Theater but wound up trading accusations over the stalled project have settled their lawsuit.
An agreed order of dismissal was signed last week by state District Judge Keith Williams in the dispute that pitted Hossein "Hagi" Hagigholam and Thomas Myers, co-owners of the Mamacita's Restaurants, against Stephen Huser of Huser Construction.
The settlement terms are confidential, but records show that the ownership of the landmark on Water Street was converted last week to a limited liability company led by Huser. It had been owned by a general partnership that included Hagigholam.
Asked about their intent for the long-vacant property, Shawnna Huser, Stephen Huser's wife, said, "We don't have any plans for it yet. We're looking at our options."
The 900-seat theater opened in 1926 with live performances but had become a movie house by the time it closed in the 1980s. It was given to the city in the 1990s.
Hagigholam bought it from Kerrville in 2009 under a $10 deal that required him to spend at least $250,000 on it within two years, which he did.
Huser's company was hired for $437,093 in 2011 to convert the theater into a venue for community gatherings and private events, records show, but he quickly became a partner in the project with Hagigholam and Myers.
Huser sold his interest to Hagigholam in 2012 and was sued the next year by his former partners, who accused him of fraud, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty for allegedly inflating invoices, among other accusations.
Denying the claims, Huser countersued last September, claiming breaches of contract, fiduciary duty and implied duty.
Hagigholam and Myers denied the accusations, which included Huser's assertion that they'd ceased project spending once the $250,000 threshold the city required had been hit.
Saying work on the partially renovated theater was consuming too much of his time, Hagigholam signed a conditional sales contract on it early last year, but that deal never closed.
Attorneys for Hagigholam and Myers couldn't be reached. Huser's attorney, Richard Mosty, confirmed the settlement but declined further comment.

Is The Real Estate Trend Still Your Friend?
To say that the commercial real estate market in the United States has been on a tear over the past several years is putting things mildly.
Since 2011 the top six markets in the U.S., including Los Angeles, have seen:
- Retail property prices increase by 52%
- Industrial property prices increase by 63%
- Apartment property prices increase by 90%
- Office property prices in the central business district increase by 96%
The Federal Reserve's low interest rate policy deserves much of the credit for these historically high prices, as does the amount of foreign investment capital flowing into the U.S. Over the past five years annual foreign purchases of real estate priced at $2.5 million or more has more than tripled, from $25 billion in 2011 to over $80 billion just last year.
Real estate investors have found themselves in a negative interest rate environment, chasing positive yields while at the same time having to compete with foreign investment and global family office funds, pushing capitalization rates down to historic lows.
Through the first half of this year, Class A central business district office space investments yield 4% in Los Angeles and San Francisco, 4.5% in Orange County, and 5% in San Jose. Factor in the officially reported inflation rate of 1.6% and the returns in Los Angeles are reduced by nearly half.
With high prices and low yields, sophisticated investors are beginning to question how long the trend is going to continue.
Will the Fed actually continue to increase interest rates? So far there have been two small increases without a noticeable effect on commercial real estate yields.
What effect will immigration have on the commercial real estate market? With President Trump's most recent decision to focus on immigration visas only for highly skilled foreigners, fewer non-tech immigrants means fewer workers for construction, meaning that costs will increase and affordability will decrease.
As we mentioned in a recent article, both of these factors create uncertainty in the U.S. commercial real estate market going forward. And unknown risk is something that investors will go to great lengths to avoid.
Add to this the amount of new inventory in the pipeline and the future for commercial real estate yields in this country becomes even more uncertain.
Even if the Fed is successful in incrementally increasing interest rates without stalling the economy, even if the politicians are able to get their act together and address the health care issue, reform the tax code, and begin funneling money into infrastructure projects – and all of these are big 'ifs' – many believe that the U.S. real estate market will remain in an era of mid-single digit returns and basically flat growth of property yields and net operating incomes.
With this in mind, commercial real estate investors in the United States are beginning to look north of the border to remove some of the risk and unknown that currently lurks in their investment portfolios, while aiming to profit from returns that quarter by quarter are becoming much more difficult to find elsewhere.
One Canadian market that TwinRock Partners has been analyzing for some time is Calgary, Alberta. The sudden declined in oil prices has pushed the economy there into a recession, with projected GDP this year forecast at 2.1% and with employment growth anticipated to be less than 1%.
While real estate prices in Calgary have declined as well, we believe this to be temporary, because the real estate market there has seen both booms and busts before, similar to what the office market in Orange County went through not too long ago.
For the time being, Class A office property in Calgary offers a relatively low point of entry into the market before the next upward movement begins.
Investing in Canada also avoids the enormous political and economic uncertainty in the United States while at the same time leveraging the currently strong U.S. dollar against the weaker Canadian dollar.
As we posited in our most recent investor newsletter, would you rather continue to invest near the end of an economic expansion or at the beginning of one?

Choosing the right color for a room in your home can be a difficult decision. There are so many options to choose from, and whatever color you select, you will likely have to live with it every day for quite some time. But with some advance knowledge and careful preparation, you can make a decision that will please you and your family for years to come. Here are some tips to help you choose the right color for your room.
• Color affects and reflects your emotions, and can change your mood. So pick a color that fits with your personality, or those of your family. Try using more than two colors, selecting colors that complement each other. Create balance by combining warm and cool colors, or try two complementary shades of the same color.
• Take into account the colors already in other features of the room. If there is paneling, carpet, or tile that will remain after your repainting, choose colors that won't clash with what you are keeping.
• Color can also make rooms look larger or smaller. Darker colors make rooms look smaller or cozier, while lighter colors can make them look larger and airier.
Knowing color basics can help you make a good decision. For a relaxing and restful feeling, choose cool colors like blue and green. Cool colors work well in bedrooms. Hot colors –yellow, red, and orange – work well in living areas, such as playrooms and kitchens. Here are some things to consider in choosing the colors right for you.
Color Basics
• Blue is a very relaxed color, so it's frequently used in bedrooms. Blue shades are extremely effective in a room with a great deal of natural light, and also works very well with wooden floors or trim. You might try combining two or more shades of blue. Painting one wall a dark blue, with the other walls a very light blue, will make the room appear larger. Teal blue looks awesome with white and yellow.
• Green reminds us of nature. Dark shades of green work well where there's a great deal of natural light, while light shades work well to brighten a room with little or no natural light and make it appear roomier. Two or more shades or variations of green can create a really fresh look. Greens are suitable for any living area.
• Yellow is probably the happiest color in the color wheel. Yellow creates a sense of freedom, energy, and happiness. It is very versatile, and works well with most colors of flooring and almost any lighting. Kitchens are an ideal place to use yellow. If you like yellow, but are hesitant about a bright yellow, choose a white with a very light yellow tint, to help create the impression of a sunlit room.
• Red is definitely a hot color, and a very original choice. It's associated with pride, strength, and confidence, and can make a room feel much larger. Since it is so stimulating, it is best not to use red in bedrooms, which should be a little more relaxing. If you decide to use red, try painting one wall red and the others a neutral color; it pairs well with gray or beige.
• Pink is generally thought mainly to be for girls' rooms, but you don't have to limit it to just your daughter's room. A friendly and fun color, it creates a relaxed and calm feeling, and makes a room appear airy and larger. Although using it in major living areas is unusual, consider it for a sunroom or sitting room.
• Purple is a warm color which always looks rich and glamorous, though it can make a room look smaller. Purple pairs well with pink, light blue, or gold. It is especially effective in major living areas and bedrooms.
If you can't find a color with which you feel comfortable, consider neutral colors like beige, white, and gray. This can be both a safe and elegant choice. Neutral colors look classy and simple, and make it possible to change the look of the room simply by changing the color of room accessories.
Even with neutral colors, you may have more choices than you realize Whites can be creamy or stark, gray can have a blue or purple tint, and beige tones have a lot of variety. Beige and gray can be either dark or light. It's probably a good idea to avoid using black, which can be very depressing (if black's for you, for a striking look use it as an accent, or for molding and doors, along with grey, dark blue, and silver.
Think of the colors you and your family really love, then choose shades of those colors to paint the rooms in your home, to create an environment everyone enjoys. Remember, changing the personality and feel of your room can be as simple as changing its color, so don't hesitate to try something unique, bold, and daring.

Marcel Proust opened "Swann's Way," in 1913, with reflections that occurred at the edge of sleep. Almost 20 years earlier Joseph Conrad had kicked off his first novel, "Almayer's Folly," with a rude awakening from a daydream. Both writers have inspired the Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman to make free adaptations: "La Captive," her sensual, mesmerizing 2000 film (based on Proust's "Prisonnière") and now "Almayer's Folly" ("La Folie Almayer"), a tropical study in helpless intransigence, from Conrad's often overlooked debut.
Ms. Akerman's Almayer lives in a darkened riverside bungalow within a Malaysian jungle whose thick deep-green vegetation is practically inseparable from the stubborn tangles of his mind. Nina, his daughter with a local woman who has gone mad, is sent away for Western-style schooling in the city, only to find rejection instead of assimilation. The business prospects that are Almayer's initial reasons for remaining upstream end up faring little better, especially as his partner, or benefactor, fades away.
Nina returns abruptly as a teenager and falls in love with a brash young man named Daïn, who is supposed to be helping Almayer with his pipe dreams. But the elliptical, involuted "Almayer's Folly" is less about this melodramatic plotting of forbidden love than about being trapped in a state of mind.
Almayer, who gripes incessantly and has a habit of dramatically crying out — usually too late — is stuck, and he remains stuck. It's not even possible to marvel at his gloom and alienation as a stranger abroad, as you might in response to Conrad's more famous work, "Heart of Darkness." There's something immovable within him, and it keeps him from fully engaging with his daughter's need for freedom.
Border crossing, or ruminating about being on the other side of a border, has long been a key part of Ms. Akerman's films. She often seems to be feeling out the muscle memory of exile in her camera movements and framing, but here the stasis of Almayer's existence is intensely felt. Shooting the film in Cambodia, Ms. Akerman may well be going farther afield than in her hybrid nonfiction work in the past two decades (spanning the Eastern bloc, Mexico and Israel). Yet for all the leafy exteriors and chugging boats, Almayer is very much inside even when he's out.
Brilliantly, Ms. Akerman casts as Almayer the same French actor, Stanislas Merhar, who starred in "La Captive" (and who remains little known here, beyond that role). Lank and pale, Mr. Merhar is not the sweaty, grizzled type you might expect after years in expat purgatory; he looks at once well preserved and sickly, like a beach house shut-in. The vibrant beauty of Nina (the new face Aurora Marion) seems almost an affront, though she carries her own morbid streak.
Ms. Marion, however, is frustratingly stiff and perhaps never more compelling than in the anomalous opening: a bravura flash-forward in which Daïn (Zac Andrianasolo) is killed on a club stage, and Nina, a dancer, responds moments later with liturgical song. The film as a whole, though shot by Rémon Fromont, Ms. Akerman's skilled collaborator on challenging productions, does not have the same consistently entrancing rhythms that help make her work so wondrous.
Yet it seems no accident that Almayer's torpor, once a heartache, spreads like tendrils throughout the film. This effect of his exile is as intense as the excitement, despair, reflection or disconnect in Ms. Akerman's previous, personally felt studies of travelers abroad, from "Les Rendez-Vous d'Anna" and "News From Home" to "D'Est" and "Là-bas." "Almayer's Folly" is not friendly terrain to traverse; like some sinister version of Proust, it is a prolonged fever dream that ultimately yields madness.

A host of superfoods all in one small bite! These Superfood Peanut Butter Bites are perfect for a boost of energy in your day. They are vegan, gluten-free, no added sugar, and CHOCOLATE-COVERED. Healthy snacking doesn't get any better!
When it's consistently in the high 80s every afternoon (Believe me, not complaining at all! Love the hot weather!), I crave something cool, creamy, and energy-boosting in the afternoon. The heat definitely contributes to that afternoon slump we sometimes get. The yawns start happening, fatigue sets in, and it feels like it might be time for a nap. I for one, do not have time for naps and I know a lot of you are super busy too! So what's a girl to do?
Well if you know me, you know I turn to SNACKS! Not just any type of snack though. It's got to have certain qualities. DELICIOUSNESS for one, high in protein, high in healthy fats, preferably only made with natural sugars, and easy to munch on while I'm doing other things.
I have a lot of snack recipes that meet this criteria already but recently I have been craving chocolate and peanut butter like it's going out of style. I knew I had to satisfy that craving and create a new treat for myself…and all of you, of course!
Luckily some inspiration struck when I was sent the new Classic Plus Protein Powder from SunWarrior! I already am a big fan of their raw, vegan, organic protein and use it all the time to make my No Bake Banana Nut Protein Bars (one of the most popular recipes on the blog!).
This new line from them offers everything that the Classic products have but adds the amino acid balancing effects of peas, chia seeds, quinoa, and amaranth. Brown Rice is still the main protein component and because of this the powder is full of protein and fiber. It's easy on the digestive system, sensitive to those with allergies, and provides 18 grams of plant based protein per serving. But aside, from it's stellar nutritional profile, the Plus line TASTES GREAT. No chalkiness or grit! I received the chocolate flavor and to me it tastes like hot chocolate mix. So yummy and very chocolatey.
This protein powder combined with all the other tasty ingredients in my new Superfood Peanut Butter Bites, makes for a healthy, decadent snack, that tastes just as good as it is for your body.
Why 'superfood' you ask? Well they've got a secret ingredient that really take their nutrition to the next level….avocado!
The avocado lends its creamy texture to make these bites even more smooth and cookie dough-like. It also adds a dose of healthy fats to keep you nice and satisfied till dinner!
Superfood Peanut Butter Bites
Ingredients (13 bites)
- ½ of an avocado
- ¾ cup natural crunchy peanut butter
- 1 small banana
- ¼ cup peanut flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp chocolate brown rice protein powder
- ½ bar of Baker's Unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Blend together avocado and banana in a food processor until smooth. Place mixture in a bowl and stir in peanut butter until well combined. Add in peanut flour, coconut flour, and protein powder. Mix until the batter resembles cookie dough texture. Roll batter into 12-13 balls. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, stick a toothpick in each one, and freeze for 5-10 minutes to harden them slightly.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a small pot over medium heat. Once fully melted, remove pot from heat. Dip each ball in the chocolate until fully covered. Place back on the parchment paper. Repeat with remaining balls. Freeze the balls for 20 minutes. Store in the refrigerator or the freezer.
These bites are a delight straight out of the fridge or freezer! Cold, creamy, and full of chocolate-peanut butter flavor. They're the ultimate energy bites and they taste like dessert!

When it comes to obtaining a loan, more than half of applicants get rejected. This is a daunting statistic, but Level 4 Funding shows you why it's easier to get approved for hard money loans when you have the help of a broker.
There are many reasons people get denied a loan. Perhaps the economy is in trouble and banks have tightened their wallets. Maybe you have a few dings on your credit history, are a first-time borrower or need the loan for a venture that is considered high-risk. All those are red flags for conventional banks and financial institutions because typically they are very conservative when it comes to lending.
That's why seeking the help of a broker for hard money loans can be the ticket to your success, and your loan approval! A professional broker can help you get your loan, and get you the cash you need to start or grow your business very quickly. These alternative routes care less about some of the things that are considered "red flags" to traditional lending institutions and more about the collateral you are willing to put up to secure the loan. Brokers for these hard money loans need to ensure they will see their return on investment because they are talking a risk on you and your business.
Typically, the collateral and the interest rate depend on the size of the loan itself and the repayment term schedule. You will want to make sure you can work with your broker to get repayment terms that are realistic because if you can make those payments consistently, that collateral that you put up will now belong to the lender.
There are pros and cons to these types of loans.
The benefits of these loans are great – quick and simple application and approval processes with cash in hand fast! Sometimes you may not even have to go through a credit check. However, there are always the cons — in this case, high interest rates and pre-payment penalties are associated with these types of loans.
Talking to a broker can help you figure out your exact needs — and the loan to best fit those needs.
The Level 4 Funding team is on your side. As brokers should be, our professional experts are here to help make the process easier for borrowers. It's important to be open and honest about your needs so our team can serve you best. We want to ensure that all our clients have more successful chances of getting approved for the loan they need. We want to take the stress out of getting a loan, so you can focus on more important things — like building and growing your business. So what are you waiting for? If you have been thinking about applying for a loan and you haven't made the leap, call Level 4 Funding now and see how we can help you turn your dreams into reality!

I'm sick. Came down with my annual spring cold this week and have been parked on the couch for the better part of two days. I am so bored from sitting in the house that I became motivated to clean the kitchen. The most interesting items I discovered?
1. My dog's latest Pawgress Report
2. Leftover cactus from a cooking adventure last weekend
3. Jim's cabernet sauvignon bbq sauce recipe (you really should try it)

This week puts us exactly one year out from the release of Shazam!, DC Films' first attempt to introduce the title hero (formerly known as Captain Marvel) to the screen. While we've yet to see any official photos or footage from the film, pictures from the set have given us an early peek at star Zachary Levi's superhero suit, and the reaction has been mixed.
Levi's costume, as far as we can tell so far, is essentially a hybrid attempting to capture elements of both the classic Captain Marvel look and the more recent redesigns, particularly the version introduced by artist Gary Frank during the New 52 era. That version of the character wore a gold belt rather than the traditional sash, a cape with clasps at the collarbone rather than a rope across the neck, and even a hood. Those elements are present in Levi's look, along with various seams running throughout the costume that are in keeping with various New 52 designs, including Superman's.
The movie suit is definitely a brighter red than its New 52 counterpart, though, and the logo — while framed in metallic gold — is bright yellow. The colors hearken back to the earlier Captain Marvel designs, and hint at a more optimistic version of the hero.
Whether you prefer the classic look or the redesign, this merging of styles means that at least a few fans are going to be unhappy with Levi's look for the film, and one of them decided to take their complaints directly to him in a rather harsh way. During an Instagram live Q&A over the weekend, one user simply commented to Levi "WHY THE CRAP SUIT," and rather than ignore it or dismiss it with a quick joke, the star decided to address the comment in a serious way.
" 'Why the crap suit?' Wow! OK, well I don't think it's a crap suit. I think my suit is f---in' bomb, to be perfectly honest," Levi said. "And I know that there hasn't been an officially released photo yet, but there have been incredibly high quality photos that have been released. And I think that any of you people out there who are still hung up on what the suit looks like are just wanting to be angry for angry's sake. I think you're very insecure, you probably are dealing with some stuff in your own life, and you feel a little powerless, and I'm sorry that you do. Wherever you're at and whatever you're going through, I'm sorry that you're going through that.
"But, I do think you should probably take a second and reflect on why you are as negative as you are about maybe anything in life, and then re-look at the suit and go, 'Actually hey, you know what? They're trying really hard to make something that's awesome and that pleases a lot of different people,' because Captain Marvel's been around for a really long time and has had a whole bunch of different iterations of suits. So, you can't win 'em all, but you can at least hope that people will give you a fair shake."
Video of the full Q&A was not archived to Levi's Instagram page, but one Twitter user did post footage of Levi's comments about the suit online. You can view that footage here (some NSFW language included).
Now, there's a little bit to unpack here regarding the tone of what Levi's saying. Being critical of a costume design for a superhero property that you love doesn't necessarily hint at insecurity or a desire to be "angry for angry's sake." Some fans are just passionate and find it really hard to look past a costume or some other storytelling choice that bugs them. That said, Levi wasn't really in a position to issue disclaimers here about how he didn't intend to paint all fans with the same brush. He was responding directly to a single viewer comment, and it was an all-caps, nasty comment at that. This wasn't "I have a few concerns about the costume design." This was "WHY THE CRAP SUIT," and given that, Levi's response was actually rather diplomatic.
It's also important to note that all we've seen of the official costume so far are set photos taken at some distance by a photographer unaffiliated with the Shazam! production. This is a big-budget, FX-driven movie about a superhero, which means all manner of post-production processes have yet to be completed. Right now, we're looking at Zachary Levi in a big red costume. We won't actually see "Shazam!" as the film intends to portray him until DC and director David Sandberg have crafted a look to their liking. So, while optimism isn't always easy, it's probably the best course for now.
Shazam! hits theaters April 5, 2019.

Enigmatic, poetic, baroque, spiritual and crudely political, Marcel Odenbach crosses and becomes a protagonist of the history of video art of the past four decades.
The book Take it or leave it. Marcel Odenbach. Anthology of texts and videos - edited by Yvonne Spielmann and Slavko Kacunko - pays tribute to the extensive career of the artist.
The publication offers a retrospective of the artist - looking at his projects, ideas and processes – as well as an open vision, a projection, a series of documents, new essays and a DVD with 10 original videos, that suggest new perspectives and analyses on the work of Marcel Odenbach.
A general feeling of tension and mysticism marks the artist's works. The construction of triptychs in motion; the dissection of the screen; the simultaneous and alternating elements of fiction and reality are just some of the immediate components of the video-architecture of Odenbach.
The videos collected in the anthology range from portraits of Germany in the seventies and eighties, to more recent works spanning from Africa to India, from politics to spiritualism.
In the first video, To stay in a good mood or the spoilsports, a sense of tragedy, between the play and the wait, marks the anxious succession of images. Neurotic pastimes and hands alternate with images of events linked to the Baader-Meinhof group. In The city of Artists or Sit back and have some tea, there is a research of something that is not coming. An inspiration, an idea, a vision, maybe lost between the pages of a book, in intermittent radio stations, between the living images of monuments and urban corners. Symbols and references of the RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion) suddenly appear in the middle of this unsuccessful research.
In The distance between myself and my losses, Odenbach reaches, with his admirable technique, a collection and mixture of visions, sounds, voices and images, that together create a kind of ritual.
Referring to this piece, its aesthetic and the construction of a restricted visual field, Paul Virilio said: "The search for the minimum that one can perceive thus appears to be a paradoxical objective: how can you see without seeing, perceive without knowing what you really perceive?"[1] The issue of "seeing without seeing" involves a spiritual path and the limit of visibility does not refer to the openness of eyes, but to the one of mind and heart. "Die Distanz is thus the distance that separates not the visible from the invisible but clairvoyance form nonclairvoyance or, more precisely, belief from disbelief".[2]
The video Disturbed places – Five variations on India it's a celebration of life and its immense diversity. The circularity of elements: wheels, fans, circles of fire; the everyday life places: the street, the bar, the bus, the train; the presence of the four elements: earth, air, water and fire plus the fifth one, the Akasha in Hinduism, compose this beautiful art piece that begins with a fabrics seller and artist asking: "Who knows which images I can still trust?"
The other videos included in the DVD offer and reveal an excellent path between the poetics and politics of Marcel Odenbach.
The publication dissects the language, philosophy, gestures and visual and extra-visual codes of Odenbach, revealing techniques, characteristics, references and inspirations.
The anthology represents a serious and deep research on the work, the thinking, the vision and the career of the German artist, which can be extremely useful for researchers in the field of Cinema and video-art, and absolutely interesting for artists, critics and video art lovers.

'There's nothing wrong with A/B testing'. This statement is both true and not useful; better is, 'there's nothing wrong with A/B testing if you're A/B testing the right bits'.
But how do you know what are 'the right bits'? Applied psychology is your answer.
Often we'll speak with clients about their attempts to create change – an uplift in clicks, more of X behaviour, less of Y actions – and how their results are better but not much better.
The problem is clear; fighting to improve something that's fundamentally poor. Or, as the famous joke about asking for directions from a local when lost in the countryside goes, "I wouldn't start from here".
Tom Goodwin (@tomfgoodwin) describes it well:
The culture of A-B testing and/or "test and learn" just seems like a way for people to value ideas less, believe in them less & fight for them less.
A billion A-B tests leads to the entire UI of Amazon – it's absolutely terrible. No vision or strategy or delight.
— Tom Goodwin (@tomfgoodwin) November 21, 2018
Common challenges we see are:
- Tweaking clicks on a particular page in the user flow, when the user flow itsef is burdening the user's cognitive capacity, so the messaging kept on each page of the journey needs to change
- Improving the wording on a gain-frame message ('Improve your…'), when even a poorly constructed loss-frame message ('Underperforming stops here…') would be way better
- Service descriptions that use narrative structure rather than a schematic structure ( Example of Insurance product here)
These challanges can feel quite tactical, but really they underpin both a communication strategy (a single, coherent narrative) and marketing strategy (specific executable plans for a product/service mix) – of which we work on
Challenge or opportunity, 84% of CMOs are concerned about their customer engagement strategy being outdated. #ciwapac2018 #innovation #BehavioralEconomics @kuppingercole pic.twitter.com/7uSpuBItLe
— Christian Goy (@GOY909) November 21, 2018
So it's no surprise the A/B testing 'discomfort' permeates the whole marketing community, as Christian Goy (@GOY909) describes above.
It is clear that A/B testing is good when you deploy it in fertile spaces. Don't spend time trying to find the tallest dwarf. Or, to mangle the joke, using applied psychology means "I wouldn't start from here" turns into "Let's start from over there".
If you find yourself 'over there', then come over here.

Let me just start by saying, that it is possible to enter Viral Loads (for both HIV and HepC). In fact this is one of the core features that was available in iStayHealthy from the beginning.
Adding/entering new Viral Loads (or any other results) is done in the Add Results/Edit Results menu of the app.
You will find the fields for entering Viral Loads underneath the section for CD4 count and CD4%.
There are 2 types of Viral Loads you can enter: the first (top) one is for HIV. The bottom one is for HepC.
To enter a new Viral Load result for HIV do the following:
- make sure the "undetectable" switch is set to Off (this should be the default value).
- tap on the space just above the "undetectable" switch. In the default setting, you should see a greyed out text "Value".
- a keyboard pops up that allows you to enter the numerical value.
- hit the 'Done' key on the keyboard when done - keyboard will disappear.
The picture below shows the entire dialog for adding results.
To enter a new VL result tap on the area shown in the red circle. But - as I said ensure that you have "undetectable" switch set to Off.
If you want to enter an undetectable result for HIV do the following:
- turn the "undetectable" switch to On
- Note: if the switch is set to On you will not be able to enter a value in the VL field.
For HepC VL the steps are exactly the same. However, for HepC the default setting is that the HepC viral load is set to "undetectable". Therefore, in case you have to record a HepC VL value you would need to turn the "undetectable" switch to Off.
Since this feature seems to have created some confusion I will revamp the UI to make data entry for VL clearer in the next version.
