Fifty-five vehicles stopped by police in Harpenden fly-tipping operation
PUBLISHED: 07:39 28 May 2019 | UPDATED: 13:32 28 May 2019
An operation to tackle fly-tipping and rogue traders came to the streets of Harpenden this week.
Fifty-five vehicles were stopped by Herts police during the multi-agency initiative along Redbourn Lane on May 22 - of those, two were uninsured, one driver was using a mobile phone, and one person was driving with a provisional licence and no L plates.
Following the operation, the DVSA is now leading two prosecutions for overloaded vehicles and numerous prohibition notices have been issued.
Nine drivers are now being investigated by The Environment Agency and five are being prosecuted for waste carrying.
A £300 fine was also issued for an offence related to a tacograph, which is a fitted device that records speed, distance and the driver's activity.
The operation was led by the Harpenden and St Albans Safer Neighbourhood Teams alongside Trading Standards, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), Environmental Health and St Albans district council.
St Albans Neighbourhood Insp Andy Wiseman said: "This was a multi-agency operation to deal with rogue traders and people who fly-tip in Harpenden.
You may also want to watch:
"Without these operations, vehicles would be travelling uninsured and be dangerously overloaded.
"We want to send a clear message to people who flout the law that we will catch up with you and you may have your vehicle seized or face prosecution."
As part of the initiative, Trading Standards advised businesspeople how to anonymously report illegal behaviour.
Senior trading standards officer, Yvonne Bartlett, said: "This was a very well run and productive event.
"Networking with other agencies also means we can work together to hopefully prevent fly-tipping and rogue trading happening in the community.
"This will make residents of the St Albans district safer."
Anyone who spots fly-tipping taking place should contact police on 999.
Anything discovered after the event should be reported to SADC on 01727 809019 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Spanking Children Tied to Aggression and Language Defects Later in Life
As young children grow up, they need to learn discipline and boundaries. One of the more common ways to teach children is through punishment. When children do something bad, parents often resolve to spanking. Even though spanking is supposed to teach the children right from wrong, a new study is reporting that spanking can lead to future aggression and even language problems for the children in the future.
"There's no evidence that spanking is good for kids," Elizabeth Gershoff, who was not a part of this study, stated according to Reuters Health. "Spanking models aggression as a way of solving problems, that you can hit people and get what you want. When [children] want another kid's toy, the parents haven't taught them how to use their words or how to negotiate."
For this study, the lead author, Michael MacKenzie from Columbia University, and colleagues reviewed the data acquired from a long-term study called the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study (FFCW). From that study, the research team looked at a group of around 1,900 children who were born in one of the 20 cities within the United States between 1998 and 2000. The parents were interviewed regarding how often they spanked their children when they were three-years-old and when they were five-years-old. The parents were also asked to describe their children's level of aggression while the children's language proficiency was tested.
The research team reported that 57 percent of mothers and 40 percent of fathers admitted to spanking their children when they were three. When the children reached five, the percentages fell to 52 and 33 for mothers and fathers respectively. The researchers found that children who were spanked by their mothers when they were five-years-old had higher levels of aggression by the time they reached nine. The team calculated that getting spanked by one's mother at least twice per week increased the children's score on a 70-point behavioral scale by two points. The researchers did not find a link between spanking at three-years-old and future aggression.
When the researchers analyzed language skills, they found that children who were spanked frequently by their fathers at the age of five were more likely to have lower vocabulary scores than children who were not spanked. The team calculated that the average score for a nine-year-old was 93 out of 100. Children who were spanked scored around four points lower than the average.
"I don't think that spanking makes kids stupider," Gershoff said. She reasoned that parents who choose to spank their children might not be talking to their children as often, which could explain the lower vocabulary scores.
The researchers believe that parents should ideally use positive reinforcement when teaching their young children. The study was published in Pediatrics.

Last night was another episode of the Vampire Diaries. Apparently, ratings have been down since the season premiere-worse than ever! People need to start watching VD more…I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that Stefan and Elena aren't together. It was actually a really sad episode, once again Damon tells Elena he thinks Stefan's in Chicago and that they should go and see him-bring him back home.
Caroline is being held captive by her own father….finally her boyfriend Tyler notices that she's missing and tells Caroline's mom.
So, Damon and Elena go to Chicago…Stefan and Klaus are already there…apparently reliving all their old memories together. (Stefan and Klaus used to be best friends) Once Damon and Elena arrive- Damon tells Elena to wait in Stefan's old apartment while he's out searching for clues as to where Stefan might be. Damon shows Elena the secret room Stefan made…that had all his victim's names on the wall. She's slowly realizing the kind of monster he really was. When Damon leaves…Klaus decides to take Stefan back to his old apartment. But Elena's there! When she hears people coming up the stairs- she hides in the secret room.
Klaus goes to open the secret door…except he never looks inside…he just tells Stefan to go and look at what he's done. Obviously, Stefan doesn't remember ever writing anything in there…as he steps into the room he comes face to face with Elena!! In shock…they just stare at each other while Klaus is looking around the apartment talking. Stefan grabs an old bottle of scotch and tells Klaus he's done with whatever was in that room. So they leave. But wow was that an amazing scene!!
The reason they're in Chicago is because Klaus needs to find the original witch- who is the only one that can explain why his 'hybrid mission' failed. He has no idea that Elena is alive…and she's the reason his plan isn't working. Damon returns to Elena…she's freaking out because she almost died…and he was actually mad at himself for leaving her in such a dangerous place.
Anyways, turns out Klaus had a sister who was in love with Stefan. They all hung out at a bar…(1920s-ish)…they fell in love…Klaus got a little jealous at first but he was still buddies with Stefan. One night the place got raided…except with wooden bullets. Quickly, Klaus grabs his sister and they run out to leave. Whoever was raiding the place was looking for Klaus AKA there's someone out to kill him AKA that's his weakness. He sees Stefan and basically erases all his memory so he never remembers meeting Klaus or the sister. The sister had a special necklace on her…but it dropped when she was whisked away…Stefan grabs the necklace (he's given it to Elena). This was all a flashback.
So, in the present Damon/Elena arrive at the bar. Damon signals Stefan to come outside…while Damon distracts Klaus. Saddest scene ever. Stefan and Elena finally get to talk to each other. But it's not what she expected. He basically tells her to leave him alone, he'll never be the same again, it took him 30 years to recover from his evil ways last time- and obviously Elena doesn't have 30 years to just wait around for Stefan. So sad. She's in tears-he walks away…and this is the point where Elena gives up on Stefan. Make room for Damon!
(flashback) When they're leaving…Klaus tells his sister to choose him or Stefan (she obviously chooses Stefan) and Klaus stabs her with the dagger killing her. Except it doesn't really kill her…it just turns her into stone…until you pull the dagger out- then she's alive again. (crazy) So he kills his sister…leaves her body in Chicago…and leaves. Now, he's brought her back to life…he shows her Stefan…and then does his weird eye thing and lets Stefan remember everything again. They're still in love with each other (sorry Elena)…and Klaus tells her he needs to find the original witch. However, the sister flips out when her special necklace is missing-that's the one thing she needs to contact the original witch.
(flashback) To the scene where Stefan picks up the necklace that he eventually gives to Elena decades later. The camera pans out…and we actually see Katherine (she's a vampire but I guess Stefan didn't see her)…anyways she sees him picking up the necklace. So basically, she knows everything. In the final scene, we see Katherine take a cab…in Chicago. Great! She's probably going to tell Klaus-Stefan knows where the necklace is. Or, I hope she's good and she doesn't rat Stefan out.
I hope.

WE all want to be radiant, smooth and wrinkle-free all year round. But as harmattan months set in, your skin goes through a transition, and this is not always easy to achieve.
The once hydrated and healthy skin and lips become chapped and dry. Looking after your skin in this season is very important, as we all know that the harmattan season is always characterised by dryness of the skin and intense cold. And if you are the type with the tendency to suffer from dry skin patches, the harmattan will certainly make your problems worse.
All skins need tender loving care (TLC). A lifetime of healthy practice is the best route to a beautiful skin.

Face the Music
The iconic Reading and Leeds Festival demands eye-catching stage backdrops.
Each year as winter fades into spring, music lovers from around the world rejoice: It's festival season. Drawing more than 32 million Americans to at least one event each year, it should come as no surprise when your social media feeds become saturated with outdoor concert photos and videos April through September.
Multiday music festivals have gained popularity around the globe, drawing between 800,000 and 1 million people to Milwaukee's Summerfest, 2.65 million fans to Morocco's Mawazine Festival, and upwards of 3 million attendees to Vienna's Donauinselfest. In the UK, the annual Reading and Leeds Festivals (sister events that occur simultaneously in south and north England, respectively) draw tens of thousands of music enthusiasts with lineups over the years including Nirvana, The Cure, Fleetwood Mac, Panic! at the Disco, Adele, and My Chemical Romance.
What's a concert without Instagram-worthy graphics? UK-based full-service print service provider Imaginators serves as the preferred supplier for Reading and Leeds Festival, creating enormous stage backdrops that even concertgoers at the very back of the crowd have no trouble seeing. "Our relationship with Reading and Leeds Festival began almost 20 years ago when we were working with the brand sponsor and promoter who wanted to produce new graphics for the stage, which had previously been hand painted; advances in inkjet technology made it possible for us to print directly to specialty substrates," says Matt Tydeman, Imaginators managing director. "The original stage for Reading and Leeds Festival was complex, but has evolved significantly to include advances in materials, lighting rigs, sound systems, and video wall technology – all of which we work closely with to ensure a seamless finished stage."
Imaginators has found a lucrative niche in the stage and festival market; the shop now serves as the go-to supplier for the music, event, and entertainment industry, providing branding for all the UK's festivals and tours, says Tydeman. The PSP has even engineered its own soft signage substrates to elevate the concert viewing experience: Acoustic Mesh, designed to provide high-quality imagery without impacting sound quality for stages that require graphics in front of PA or sound systems, and Acoustic Interliner for preventing "light bleed" and aiding sound transparency. And all of Imaginators' concert graphics can be re-used year after year for added cost savings and sustainability.
When it comes to Reading and Leeds, "our client often pushes boundaries to create a visual spectacle," Tydeman says.
The large, imposing [stage] structures have become an iconic centerpiece within the music industry, and the branding needs to adhere to safety regulations and technical challenges relating to rigging and construction, yet be seamless in its appearance to create giant, highly visible and identifiable branding.
Two weeks prior to the 2018 festivals, Imaginators printed nearly 20 individual stage sections, carefully engineered to "join seamlessly together to create the appearance of a single wrap encompassing video, light, and sound," explains Tydeman. The panels – imaged using Onyx Thrive software, a Durst Rho 512R superwide press, and heavy-duty, reinforced opaque PVC – varied in size, including a 131-foot-long header and pairs of 105 x 124.5-foot side walls. One week before the events, a team of six riggers worked alongside sound and lighting engineers to install the graphics over three days, often working into the night. After festivalgoers enjoyed a weekend of music, dancing, and fun, Imaginators took down, inspected for damage, repaired, cleaned, and stored the signage on behalf of the client.

- Rapidly induce nutritional ketosis†[1]
- Increase energy and cognitive function[2],[3]
- Reduce appetite and sugar cravings[4]
- Enhance athletic performance1,[5]
- Support healthy blood sugar balance and insulin metabolism[6]
- Support lean muscle tissue and fat burning†
- Fight inflammation[7]
Um vöruna
KETORUSH: Exogenous Ketones, Natural Caffeine and Electrolytes
Patented goBHB™ Salts, Electrolytes, and Energizing Ingredients for Your Ketogenic Lifestyle
Ketorush™ contains pure goBHB™ beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) salts – bioavailable exogenous ketones that work to augment ketosis.† When you're in a state of ketosis, a wide range of benefits occur, such as increased energy levels, enhanced blood sugar balance, boosted fat loss, reduced appetite, and much more.
Just as importantly. Ketorush™ contains natural caffeine, electrolytes, and essential vitamins to help you get the most out of each and every serving. It also mixes easily, has no gritty texture, and comes in two delicious fruit flavors!
"What are exogenous ketones and why should I use KETORUSH™?"
On a molecular level, ketones are natural compounds made in the liver as byproducts of fatty acid metabolism. Ketones have a simple structure, containing a primary carbonyl group (i.e. carbon bonded to oxygen) and two carbon-containing substituents. Exogenous ketones simply denotes ketones that come from a source originating outside of the human body.
In humans, there are three primary ketone bodies: acetone, acetoacetic acid (AcAc), and beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB). Naturally, when you're on a carb-restricted/keto diet, the mitochondria of cells use these ketones to create energy.
BHB is the most potent ketone in terms of being oxidized for energy or being used directly by tissues. Therefore, consuming Ketorush™ provides your body with an immediate supply of BHB salts (exogenous ketones) to utilize.
In turn, even if you're not on a keto (carb-restricted) diet, Ketorush™ will help mimic the effects of your body being in a state of nutritional ketosis almost instantly (generally within 20 minutes or less after consuming one serving). Pretty awesome, isn't it? But the applications and benefits of Keto Energy™ don't stop there…
Benefits of KETORUSH™
Ketorush™ is formulated with evidence-based ingredients that support your keto lifestyle and overall fitness in many ways, including:
- Rapidly induce nutritional ketosis†[1]
- Increase energy and cognitive function[2],[3]
- Reduce appetite and sugar cravings[4]
- Enhance athletic performance1,[5]
- Support healthy blood sugar balance and insulin metabolism[6]
- Support lean muscle tissue and fat burning†
- Fight inflammation[7]
Research and Science behind the KETORUSH™ Formula
goBHB™ Exogenous Ketones
Each serving of Ketorush™ contains a research-based dose (11.7 grams) of pure goBHB™ exogenous ketones that work to rapidly and efficiently induce nutritional ketosis. A growing body of clinical and scientific research demonstrates the usefulness of exogenous ketones for reducing food cravings, increasing cognition, boosting energy, enhancing athletic performance, supporting blood sugar balance, and more.[1-7]
Electrolyte/Hydration Complex
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium) are even more critical for those on a very-low-carb diet/keto diet, since they tend to be rapidly excreted when the body is in ketosis. Having low levels of electrolytes can lead to dehydration and drastically reduce both mental and physical performance. Moreover, vigorous exercise and warm/hot weather increase sweat production, which contains both water and electrolytes. To combat this, each serving of Ketorush contains over 1500 mg of bioavailable electrolytes (as phosphate salts) and raw coconut water concentrate to keep you hydrated and performing at your best.
Natural Caffeine (from Green Tea)
Rather than synthetically made caffeine, Ketorush™ contains natural caffeine from green tea. Caffeine is an indubitably effective performance enhancer, working through a variety of mechanisms to increase mental acuity, energy, power, motivation, and more.
In fact, research has shown that well-trained athletes experience a significant decrease in the rate of perceived (RPE) exertion of their training when they consume caffeine beforehand.[8] In simpler terms: consuming caffeine before exercise helps you train longer and at a higher capacity.
Furthermore, caffeine encourages the production of catecholamines, especially dopamine and adrenaline, thereby keeping focused, wakeful, and motivated.[9] As such, Ketorush™ is a great supplement for dedicated gym-goers, fitness enthusiasts, students, and workaholics.
Essential Vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12)
Quality Differences of KETORUSH™
Q: Will KETORUSH™ benefit me if I'm an endurance athlete?
A: Certainly! Ketorush™ isn't just for people who train with weights (or even those who eat a higher-carb diet). In fact, using Ketorush prior to a long run or other endurance event will help keep your energy and performance at a high level due to long-term fuel it provides (as well as electrolytes to keep you hydrated).
Q: How long will it take to notice the positive effects of KETORUSH™?
A: Ketorush™ is a fast-acting supplement that provides sustained benefits. You will experience positive effects within minutes of consuming it, and they will last upwards of eight hours after each serving.

Our internal Neanderthaler.
Today, I will tell you my theory about the quality of our food.
In theory, that means that we can now use our brain = ratio to make clear decisions.
But when it comes to making decisions about our personal health, as a Homo Sapiens, many of us times left our ratio behind in the forest, and just followed the rest of the tribe.
Our environment.
We live in an era where the tribe no longer regulates our behaviour. We live as individuals, next to each other in an environment where there is too much noise, too much light, too much motion etc. The small piece of ground we have at our disposal, our living space, is much too small for us. Where once there was enough food around us to fulfill our needs, now we need to perform many tricks to get the food we need. These artifices provide us with the quantity we need, but not with the quality we require
The poor quality of our food is one of the reasons why our health is not at it's best. Our immune-system needs a certain amount of vitamins, minerals etc. to function properly.
For obvious reasons we can't get the required amount out of our daily dose of vegetables and fruit anymore. As a result, our bodies don't function properly anymore. We notice this by the signals our bodies send us. But frequently we don't take these signals seriously.
Many times you hear : 'o, I always have that', or, 'everybody in our family has that'. Eventhough they don't bother you too much, that doesn't mean it's normal.
The thought : if more people suffer from it, it must be normal, is not a healthy one. Without exaggerating, I can state that it can even be dangerous. I would like people to start using their common sense.
We're not herd animals anymore.
Next time I will offer you a solution to improve your health. And keep it healthy. It's a way to improve the quality of your life in a measurable way.
And only yourself can do that.
Nobody else but you.

The weather has been absolutely perfect these past few days – sunny and cool, so Madison and I made sure to take advantage of it. After work, we packed a picnic and biked down to the National Mall to watch the sunset.
The flags were all at half-mast in memory of those lost in the attacks. It was a special evening to be a part of our nation's capital.
We need to start making this a habit – I love this city so much, and will never tire of exploring the monuments.

The dialog in my book HUSH PUPPY had a special challenge for me. First, I had to write the way teenagers talk, but secondly, I had to write the way Southerners talk, which was a lot more difficult than you might think. I didn't want my characters to sound like stereotypical country bumpkins. I loved them all and I wanted to make them real without making them sound, well, stupid. Mark Twain is infamous for exaggerating Southern speech and I did not want to follow his example.
Some of my characters are more educated than others and that difference in voice had to come across as genuine. I can't tell you how much I agonized over how to write the book. I put it aside for years for fear of not doing it justice. People in the South are well aware of the ways different people speak and I wanted that to be part of the book too.
In the end, I crafted the dialog to sound like human speech, leaving out the words and some of the sounds that are often dropped in casual speech. Here's an example:
Jamie walked up to me, a little short of breath after his run. I could see he wasn't going to leave me alone.
"Whatcha reading, Corrine?" he asked with a dimpled grin.
To my horror, I realized I still held Memaw's romance novel.
"I'm not reading." I tried to hide the book behind me.
"You were. I saw you."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Jamie leaned sideways to look behind my back. "Aw, don't lie now," he said as he inched closer. I turned, determined he wouldn't see what was in my hand. I wished I'd thrown the thing in the bushes, but it was too late. He wasn't having that anyway. He lunged and grabbed at the paperback, surprising me. I swatted at him, but he just laughed.
"Don't you have something better to do?" I asked.
"Like what?"
"Like take a shower?" I meant to sound angry, but it came out like I was kidding.
"No." He reached around me again for the book. Annoyed, I finally hauled off and whacked him with the paperback, but he giggled like it tickled.
"Aha! I knew it!" He grabbed the book.
"It's my grandma's, so don't get any ideas," I insisted as he pulled it out of my hands, his fingers softer than I expected. His eyebrows rose when he saw the cover and a grin bigger than before spread across his lips. I felt my cheeks go hot.
"Your grandma reads this stuff?"
"What's it to you?"
I actually used the word "ain't" as a character trait for Corrine because she makes a concerted effort to avoid using it.
Jamie followed me down the safe path. It made me more than a little nervous to think of him right behind me. I started babbling.
"Opal Herman is a certified curmudgeon. Cranky! Lord! She hates everybody, even cats. Traps them and throws them in the lake, trap and all, let's the snapping turtles eat them. She'd do the same thing to people if she thought she could get away with it. There's a reason why she named her dog Killer. They ain't a kid in this county she ain't sicced him on." I stopped myself because my grammar wasn't what it should be.
"There isn't a kid in this county…I mean."
Most times I tried to speak proper, but sometimes my mouth ran away with me and I slipped back into old habits, like some kind of ignorant hillbilly. Proper English was the only way I was going to better myself, so I worked hard at it.
"You mean ain't ain't a word?" Jamie teased.
"No, it isn't." I smiled back at him. He seemed to understand.
I'm not suggesting you craft your dialog exactly the way I did, but I highly recommend you listen closely the way your characters speak given the part of the world they come from and their education level. Someone from Minnesota speaks differently than someone from Scotland and you should reflect that as best you can. Reading your draft work out loud is the best way to really hear what your dialog sounds like. The second it starts to sound like an English teacher, stop and fix it. You don't want proper English in your dialog unless your character is actually a proper Englishman.

Museum collections are a scientific resource. They let researchers refer to a single specimen over and over, or look at variation over an entire continent, or go back and look at change over a century.
They can also be weirdly beautiful.
Museum collections are a scientific resource. They let researchers refer to a single specimen over and over, or look at variation over an entire continent, or go back and look at change over a century.
They can also be weirdly beautiful.
In the sciences we think a lot about how to recruit more [insert underrepresented group here]. There are a lot of challenges to this, such as that many people may not know that there are real paying jobs to be had studying animals/chemicals/theoretical physics, or that many entry-level research positions pay next to nothing so you have to have a certain level of financial security just to start out in the field. But even if you know the jobs exist, and even if you have figured out the finances somehow, you still have to have the confidence to go for it, and that can be difficult. It's easy to think that you don't know enough to start research, or that everyone else must know more than you do.
So this is How I got into research: or, I promise you are not less qualified than I was, so just go for it.
Last night, my university's campus suffered a power outage, possibly due to the theft of copper grounding cables. Everyone—well, everyone not trapped in an elevator—was ordered to evacuate campus, which turned out to be a good call, because a backup generator then exploded, spitting flames two stories high. (No one was seriously injured.)
My scientist colleagues and I, while worrying about the trapped elevator people and the explosion, had one more thing to sweat over: our samples. If the freezers in our building go down, they can take years' worth of research samples with them. One of my labmates had just returned from the field the previous day, and all of her summer of work was potentially thawing out that night.
Today, the country has a government outage. The government shutdown is already having widespread effects, and these will only worsen if it continues. I am lucky in my experience of the shutdown compared to most people: I am not losing the food stamps I depend on or the wages I have earned, for example. But the effects are still shocking. This morning I received this email, from the government office that issues banding permits and bands to people like me who band birds to study them:
A few months ago, my labmates who study chipmunks enlisted the help of one of my pet mice to test-run a chipmunk-monitoring device that they are hoping to use in the field this summer. That went well, and now they're calling on another one of my mice for a simpler test: to see how long the glue they're planning to use will keep their device attached to rodent fur. They want glue that will stay attached long enough for them to get good data, but not so long that the monitor becomes a permanent part of a chipmunk's life.
Since chipmunks spend a lot of time in burrows, we chose my most burrow-loving mouse, who likes to spend all of his time hiding underneath things. He was not pleased to be forced out into the open.
So far he hasn't seemed to care a bit about the chip. However, he is quite annoyed that I now dig him up daily to check whether it is still attached. He's not really a people mouse.
In order to make sense of the data I collect, I use statistics. The statistical tools available for data analysis these days are pretty incredible, leaps and bounds ahead of the simple, classical statistics like chi-square, which worked great – if you had perfect data.
Field biologists like me don't have perfect data. We have really, really terrible data, from a statistical perspective. We have unbalanced sample sizes, measuring 15 birds here, 21 here, 9 there; we have data with weird things in common, like measurements from different groups of nestlings, some of which are siblings; and we always have tons of noise in our data – because it was weirdly rainy that year, and also hot, and also the oak trees put out more acorns than usual, and that one chick was from a runt egg, and…
"You work in a museum and you don't collect? At all?" My officemate glanced up from labeling specimen tags to give me an incredulous look.
"Yep," I said.
I work in a museum filled with hundreds of thousands of specimens, and I do not add to them. I do not collect: i.e., "sacrifice" (kill) birds in order to add them to the museum's collections. Many researchers would consider this to be poor teamwork, even poor manners – here I am measuring bills, benefiting from others' collecting work, and not contributing! What is my problem?
As I mentioned before, I don't get to be out in the field interacting with the juncos right now. I am, however, making use of the other juncos: the ones that don't fly away, don't stress out when I handle them, and are always there when I go to look for them. The ones that live about twenty feet from my office.
I work in a museum, remember?
Two of my labmates study chipmunks. Recently they have been working with an engineer to develop a small tag that they can attach to a chipmunk to record the chipmunk's movements. This, if it works, will let them "see" what the chipmunk is doing without actually watching–and bothering–the chipmunk, which would be great: one of the difficulties of behavioral ecology is that, for animals as for subatomic particles, observing the thing often affects the very nature of that thing.
Part of developing this tag is being able to check how well it works. Unfortunately, our lab doesn't have any chipmunks just hanging around on which to test the tag. So instead, for an unofficial, exploratory test run, we recruited one of my domestic mice.
The field season is mostly over. My field assistants are back in classes; my mist nets are packed away. (Many thanks to the people who kept us fed and equipped by donating a total of $1450 to this field season!) It's grant-writing, lab work, and data analysis season now.
Well, almost. I really want to know what the juncos do when summer ends. Our working assumption is that they migrate down the mountains to escape the worst of the winter weather, but we don't know how far they go, or when, or, really, if they do that at all. So this week I went back to look for them.
You might—or, by this point, might not—recall that I'm supposed to be doing research that will be the basis of a PhD here. Based on the actual content of the blog, you'd be forgiven if you thought that the point of all of this was to take photos of various annoyed birds held in the photographer's grip.
So where's the research part?

Amaya Miller (Glioma) Brain Tumor
Amaya Miller is my granddaughter, at the time she was enrolled in gymnastics. She is very talented in this particular sport. Everytime I would come and visit my grandchildren and daughter she would always say "Look granny"!! and she would immediately do a backbend or a split, or a front cardwill in front of me. I always cheered her with her natural skills. The children have a trampleine in the backyard and Amaya was and is very talented in this field of sport. It simply breaks my heart to know she can not continue at this time in her life to particpate at this time in her life because she really loves to tumble. Just like the African American Olympic Gold Metalist , I truly believe in my heart that my granddaughter Amaya would be the next upcoming youth gold metalist is she didn't have this (Glioma) tumor on her Brain.
I love you, Amaya,

With options like Facebook Live, Instagram Stories, YouTube Pre-Roll, and Twitter Video, there are many different ways you can incorporate video into your brand's marketing strategy. But there are just as many ways—or more—to lose your audience's attention along the way.
A poorly constructed video is much more than a waste of your production and marketing budget. It puts you at risk of losing your following and damaging your brand reputation. If you are going to use video ads, you need to do them well.
There are a number of guidelines that you should be following when it comes to length, strategy, content, production, and formatting.
An ad that performs well on Facebook might not be effective on Twitter. We've taken a close look at the most prominent social media players to highlight additional factors that can help you promote your video on a specific platform.
Let's start with best practices.
When It Comes to Length
The first rule of social media video advertising: less is more.
Video is one of the best ways to boost engagement levels while increasing brand recognition and engaging your target audience—but only if you act quickly.
Why? Well, viewers quickly become disengaged.
After all, they're not spending time on a social media platform just to see your ad. They're busy looking at other content. They might have limited time before they have to go back to work, head to class, or start cleaning the kitchen.
So, how long is too long?
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube all have different parameters regarding how long your video ad can be. But just because you can use a certain amount of time doesn't mean that you should.
It's generally considered best practice to keep your video under 15 seconds long (unless you know you have a highly engaged audience).
Regardless, it's important to remember that many people will likely skip your video after just a few seconds. This means that you need to deliver your key message and branding pretty much immediately if you are going to make any sort of impact.
When It Comes to Strategy
Based on what you are trying to achieve with your video, certain conceptual directions will work better than others. You can measure these with specific key performance indicators (KPIs). Consider the following situations:
Want to build brand awareness and expand your reach?
Opt for a storytelling feature or a behind-the-scenes video that evokes emotion and helps you connect to viewers on a personal level. If you can build a strong relationship straight away, this can result in loyal, long-term customers.
Measurable KPIs:
As your aim is to get as many views as possible, track the views of your video at three, ten, and 30 seconds to measure your viewership over time.
You can also measure brand impact through ad recall lift, a reliable metric that tells you how many people tend to remember your ad after a day or two of watching it.
Want to drive traffic to your website?
Consider an educational video that solves a problem for your audience. This can establish you as an expert in your niche and help build that all-important trust, increasing the chances that viewers will want to click to learn more about your brand and what else you can offer them.
Measurable KPIs:
Use clicks and click-through-rate on your ad as relevant KPIs to tell you how much traffic is being generated by people clicking on your ad.
Want to increase product sales?
Product videos are ideal for building excitement during a new product launch. Videos that showcase customer success stories are extremely effective for driving conversions. If the viewer can see how your business can help others, they'll be more likely to engage.
Measurable KPIs:
Track your conversion rate on your website. If you're using the Facebook Ad Manager, use the Facebook Pixel, which is a code you place in your HTML so that Facebook can provide you with key insights about your campaign.
When It Comes to Content
Now that you have a strategy for your video and the right KPIs in mind, make sure that you are including the following elements. These are essential to creating a strong and memorable video ad on social media:
1. An Attention-Grabbing Introduction:
- Intrigue your audience enough for them to stop scrolling
- Let your viewers know that this ad is relevant to them
- Include compelling images, an interesting question, or witty dialogue
2. An Immediate Brand Mention:
- Let your viewers know who you are within the first three seconds (at the most)
- Include your brand logo and colors
- Incorporate additional visual elements that align with your brand image and personality
3. A Central Call-To-Action:
- Try not to place your CTA too early, which can feel too "salesy"
- Instead, incorporate your CTA immediately after you hook your audience with your value proposition
- Use compelling language that encourages your audience to act now
4. An Optimized Title and Description:
- Remember that not everyone will watch your video, so include the necessary info here as well
- Hook your audience with compelling copy that is short, sweet, and to the point
- Include relevant keywords and hashtags so you can successfully target your desired audience on the platform
Take this example from the Philadelphia brand. At ten seconds, the length of the ad is perfect. It also starts with an interesting copy hook that is probably relevant to a lot of people during a particular time of year. The CTA in the description is clear and compelling.
However, from a visual perspective, the ad is pretty boring—at least at the beginning, which is the most critical part. Additionally, while some of the hashtags are good in helping identify the audience, there are probably a few too many, and they could be more focused.
When It Comes to Production
You could have the perfect length, the right KPIs, and all of the key video components set—but if the production quality is low, your ad will not be memorable (at least, not for the right reasons).
The Art of Storytelling
if you want your social media video ad to be as good as it can be, effective storytelling is a must. A great narrative evokes emotion from your audience and establishes a strong connection.
Take Kate Spade, for example. A few seasons back, the leather goods brand promoted episodic video ads that told the story of Miss Adventure, a charming and relatable New Yorker who seemed to have bad luck with all her endeavours.
Each video in this nine-part miniseries on YouTube told part of Miss Adventure's story. The two-minute episodes weren't too long, and each one was distinctive and compelling. This is a great way to tease the audience and keep them engaged for a while.
Animation vs. Live Action
There are no right or wrong answers here. The trick is to tell your video story in a way that's in line with the rest of your branding.
It goes without saying that real people are more relatable for customer-centric and behind-the-scenes videos, where you're trying to spark an emotional connection.
On the other hand, animation can be a great tactic to illustrate complex or difficult topics in a clear, accessible, and informative way. The Suicide Prevention video on Facebook is a great example of this.
The use of animation in this video helps to suggest advice and tools to support those struggling with mental health issues in a sensitive and empathetic way.
Here's another example from Monday.com, a project management tool. The live action video, which ran on YouTube, effectively walked viewers through how to use the sophisticated product. The light and fun narrative kept people engaged throughout, but also gave them the option to "Sign Up Free" at any point during the 30-second ad.
Lighting Matters
When it comes to shooting your video, opt for the best lighting possible. Needless to say, a dark environment will result in a grainy video.
Instead, use natural daylight or LED lights that will brighten up your chosen location. Be sure to avoid backlighting or direct overhead spotlighting.
When It Comes to Formating
If you're going to invest in creating a great video, you want to make sure it's formatted properly so you can reach as wide an audience as possible.
Ensure Your Video Is High Quality
The first rule of formatting a video ad is to make sure you're following the specific recommendations of whichever social media platform you're using.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube all have their own guidelines regarding ratio, resolution, and file size. Following these guidelines will help you generate the maximum amount of views and engagement.
For example, Facebook recommends a video have 1280 x 720 pixel resolution for landscape orientation. If your video is less than 600 pixels in width, Facebook might reject it. Even if not, it could look blurry or pixelated on larger screens, making it difficult for your audience to enjoy.
Read more about the best Facebook and Twitter video specs.
Assume Your Audience Will Have the Sound Turned Off
It's critical that your video ad is able to deliver your key messages without sound.
Why? Well, multiple sources state that around 85% of videos on Facebook are watched with the sound turned off. It's likely that many people are watching on their mobile phones, which could be in silent or vibrate mode.
Be sure to include subtitles for any meaningful dialog, like food subscription service HelloFresh.
The video below features clear, white-colored subtitles at the bottom of the screen. These are easy to read without distracting the viewer from the customer's story.
If your target audience is multinational, subtitles are a must. They also make your video accessible to viewers who who are hard of hearing.
YouTube is pretty great in this regard, allowing you to set your video to automatically switch on closed captioning for all viewers, in the language of your choice.
Optimize Your Video's Orientation
According to Instapage, 90% of social media video ads are viewed on mobile devices. Taking this into account when sizing your video is a no-brainer.
- Mobile phones are typically held vertically, which means you should use portrait orientation or a square ratio for platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
- On Facebook, the ad options are much more varied. Depending on the placement of your ad, it may make sense to use a portrait, landscape, or square ratio.
- When it comes to YouTube, keep in mind that many users are likely to be holding their devices horizontally, to make the video as big as possible on their screens.
Regardless, be sure follow your platform's specific recommendations—after all, they know best.
Syncing Your Video Ad to a Specific Platform
There is a general consensus regarding many of the best practices for creating video ads on social media. However, don't forget that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube all have their own ad options and core audiences.
When uploading your video to the different social media platforms, you'll have a chance to indicate your specific marketing objectives (e.g., video views) as well as the audience you are looking to reach. Through sophisticated algorithms, each platform can help you optimize your settings and put an appropriate budget in place.
At this point, consider the different video ad options available and then keep in mind some platform-specific tips:
Facebook Video Ad Options:
- Vertical video ads work well for short, attention-grabbing formats
- Carousel ads and in-streams are best for spreading brand awareness and recognition
- Collection or canvas ads allow you to display products or services in clickable images below the video, which is perfect for driving traffic to product pages and increasing sales
- While they can't be promoted through the Facebook Ad Manager, live videos and 360 videos are great for showcasing new products through tutorials and how-tos, receiving a high level of engagement and creating an intimate connection with your audience because they know it's authentic, in-the-moment, and unedited
Facebook Video Ad Tips:
- Upload your video directly to Facebook instead uploading to YouTube or Vimeo and sharing
- Customize the thumbnail image of your video for maximum impact
- Create a custom audience to best target your video
- Take advantage of Facebook Analytics and split testing
Twitter Video Ad Options:
- Pre-roll, in-stream ads pop up just before a content partner's video and work well for short, attention-grabbing video ads
- Promoted videos (up to ten minutes long) appear in users' timelines and are ideal for showcasing new products, spreading brand awareness, and building recognition
Twitter Video Ad Tips:
- When using in-stream videos, select the appropriate category for your brand (e.g., a sports ad should proceed a sports video)
- Keep in mind that many people use this platform for news and information; your video should match this type of content
- Remember that hashtags are very important on Twitter
- Take advantage of the Tweet Activity and Audience Insights dashboards
Instagram Video Ad Options:
- While live videos cannot be promoted as paid ads, they are best to showcase new products or services through tutorials and how-to videos, creating an instant connection with your audience and encouraging immediate reactions
- In-stream Stories are great for highlighting a new product or service as you can take advantage of the "Swipe Up to shop" feature
- In-stream Stories are also great for building brand awareness and driving traffic to your website, thanks to the "Swipe Up to visit" feature
Instagram Video Ad Tips:
- Develop video ads for a more visually-focused audience
- Keep in mind that unlike on other platforms, viewers cannot enlarge videos
- Remember that Instagram thumbnails have to come from the video (i.e., they cannot be customized)
YouTube Video Ad Options:
- Bumper ads are six-second videos optimized for mobile devices that work for short, attention-grabbing ads to spread brand awareness
- TrueView in-stream ads are great for showcasing a new product or service through customer testimonials, how-tos, or tutorials; however, viewers can skip the video after five seconds, so it needs to be engaging right from the get-go
- TrueView Discovery ads appear on search results, on the homepage, and alongside related videos, which is great for expanding your reach and driving traffic to your website
YouTube Video Ad Tips:
- Use landscape orientation for your video so viewers can make it as large as possible on their screens
- Keep in mind that many users come to this platform to access tutorial videos—this could benefit your content strategy
- Consider that you may have a more focused audience compared to other social media platforms, where users are more likely to be on the go
In summary, be sure to select the most appropriate platform for your video based on your primary marketing objectives and where your target audience spends their time. This way, you're sure to encourage optimal views, clicks, and—ultimately—conversions.

Potters Bar's title hopes washed away by weather and powerful Reed batting
PUBLISHED: 12:13 06 May 2019
©2018 Danny Loo Photography - all rights reserved
Rain and some fine batting put pay to Potters Bar's defence of the Herts T20 crown.
The Walk-based cricket club had hosted group B of the qualifying competitions with the hosts seeing off Harpenden in their semi-final.
But they were completely devoid of luck in a gloomy and wet final against Reed who went on to clinch a 10-wicket success thanks to the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Bar lost the toss and were asked to bat first.
But they still felt confident that their full compliment could see them through to a challenging total of around 130, something nobody but themselves had achieved in the two semi-finals.
That confidence remained even after Patrick Scott departed without scoring to the third ball of the contest but Steve Gale and James Scott saw them to 22-1 until the dark skies deposited the first of the heavy rain in the fifth over.
That led to a delay of an hour and reduced the contest to 13 overs each.
It was reduced further after Bar had reached 36-1 after seven overs, another delay, this time of 31 minutes, ultimately bringing an abrupt end to their batting.
You may also want to watch:
Reed's adjusted target of 48 from seven overs began well with four off the first ball and a straight-forward run-out went begging following a slip in the outfield.
But to their credit, the visitors took the bull by the horns and blasted their way to a fine win, Shaun Tidey and Zac McGuigan seeing to victory with 18 balls to spare.
The semi-final had seen no such complications for the home side as they convincingly saw off fellow Saracens Herts Cricket League outfit Harpenden.
This time they batted first after winning the toss and Patrick Scott and Gale were in scintillating form as they bashed their way to seven boundaries in a rapid opening spell.
When the pair plus James Scott went, Bar stuttered slightly to 41-3 but Luke Chapman steered them to 69-4 before being well-caught in the outfield.
That brought 18-year-old Ashane Wijesuriya to the crease and he proceeded to strike a majestic and unbeaten 46 from just 28 balls.
He was well supported by Kazi Hoq who was unbeaten on 27 as Bar got to 137-4.
And Jake Pankhurst's 38 apart, the visitors never really got going against an efficient Bar attack. Tom Beasley was the only other man to make double figures.
Jigar Mehta was the star with the ball for Potters Bar, finishing on 3-14 while Teddy Duke and Bradley Sayers both managed two each.

Update on Updates
Wow, so it's been ages since I last wrote an update. As usual, I will blame life for getting in the way here, rather than myself for being addicted to Civilization and terrible Olympic coverage. But the good news is, I haven't died yet, and I foresee more updates in the future. In fact, I even have a few upcoming ideas! Take a look:
Why Sarah Palin needs to be the Republican Presidential nominee in 2012
Centrism vs. Moderation: Which is more fashionable at parties?
A ridiculously early 2010 election prediction
Earthbound, or a few ideas about what makes a great video game
Why New Super Mario Brothers is Important
Sketch Primer 4: The Flying Circus
Something about Baseball. I haven't decided what yet, but I have a few ideas kicking around.
So, keep checking back, or sign up to have my musings delivered straight to your email. I'll be back on a regular posting schedule soon. Cross my heart.
One Response to "Update on Updates"
Something about baseball, the irrelevancy of Scott Boras and how owners are calling his bluff

Greetings and TGIF or something like that,
From this lengthy title you can tell it's been quite an interesting day, yes?
After passing out at 4am last night I awake at noon too get my visa, still not there. Then found out tomorrow is the soonest I can leave, booked a train. The train was $29US leaving tomorrow night. The bus was $22 leaving tomorrow morning. I reckon it makes more cents (sic) to sleep on the train and sleep in.
Walk to get some water meet these girls, they want to drink beer. After drinking half a beer I realize they are posh princesses with a plethora of problems. I say good day and get on my way. Try and hit up a Dentist, can't find it. Find it and it is closed.
Wander around and try again later, also closed. At this point I am walking home and notice a car inside a living room and think to myself "I must say, this is quite odd". So odd that I take photos then realize it's a Dentist, odd. Since Vietnam traffic is crazy, why not leave your car in your living room? It's not that much crazier.
I walk in and the place looks clean, I'm greeted by an older gent who speaks decent English. He walks me through the sterilization process and it meets my standards. He polishes my teeth for $7.50US.
It's the 35th Anniversary of Hanoi's Liberation Day today. As a result the town is extremely busy, mainly the lake area. After a long afternoon nap I walk around and take some photos, enjoy it. I am then walking for some food when I run into a Norwegian or Danish girl, if you're reading this sorry, I can't remember. Anyways we chat a bit and then get a bite to eat, then grab a beer and go back to the festivities.
I'm filming this bs on stage and I think to myself "This is where you'd get pick pocketed" there is like 1,000,000 people here and it's so tight. Anyways I keep looking over at this sweet old lady with a hrmmm type eye. At this point I take my wallet and put it into my side cargo short pockets because I didn't feel safe but for some reason I kept filming this show I'm almost certainly never going to put on the web. I felt like an old 50 year old man filming his kids friends eating cake or something at a birthday party. It's probably never going to get watched because it's nothing special so who cares.
Suffice to say, some lady comes over with little kid, I'm like that kid is close to me. Then go back to doing my thing, then feel slightest touch on my side pocket, notice it open. Figure ok, not sure what this kid is doing and motion to the lady I'm with, let's go.
As we're walking I explain to her what happened and how I "almost got pick pocketed". Check my pockets, he got me. I run back to the area and it's just a mess of people and they are obviously gone. Luckily, I found my money clip right where I was standing. A standard grab the cash, no evidence. I lost ~$5us. This is why you don't carry large sums of money on you or passports.
Now I know why Canadians are so liked. There is a joke that you could slap us and we'd apologize. I'm sure many other cultures would have not been so naive when they felt the kid and definitely when they saw the open pocket and that kid would have been "in for it" along with mom.
This is the type of stuff they had going on at the festival. Kinda cool in a "extreme sports meet high risk gymnast type way" but not worth losing a wallet over, yes!?
Tips hat,
P.S: Kinda glad to be leaving this hotel, it's nice but it's 90 steps to my door, kinda intense in the mid day heat.

Political Writings
Political Writings
This book has taken a long while to complete, and has accrued many debts. In particular, I mention Professor Antony Black and Dr P. J. Fitzpatrick who, as always, shared their scholarship with me without stint. I mention also the editorial staff of the Cambridge University Press, and above all Virginia Catmur, to whose amazing skills as a copy-editor this volume, like my edition of Augustine's De civitate Dei in the same series, owes so much. Finally, I thank my colleagues and students at the University of Durham for their unfailing support, encouragement and stimulation.

0 emission, 100% electrically iOn – the new Peugeot generat-iOn.
The debut of the electric car market is approaching: Peugeot yesterday discovered the cards in his iOn, which will be proposed in France for 500 euros per month. The small zero emissions will launch in late 2010-as the twins Mitsubishi i-MiEV and Citroën C-Zero and during the first phase of its marketing will be offered only with the formula of the rental fee.
That little thrown by the three brands would not be the power for all, we had already said at our recent meeting with the C-Zero, but although they expect an announcement like this, it must be said that the figure in question is really important. How must "ride" for a month before reaching the even break point, since the fee is so high?
Still, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV in Japan will be offered to 34,000 euros, or about thirty thousand of something more was expected. And in Europe the price will be even higher. Really hard to see a commercial future for these models, who are willing to imagine generous public incentives.
Apart from the great technological gap compared with thermal models similar in features and size, the evidence is the iOn will cost three times as a Peugeot 107, will offer a range of about one third, will be slower and will put us six hours to recharge, or 30 minutes if you go just in a hurry. If there is something to this type of cars there is certainly no room for improvement.
Peugeot iOn is the successful response to the demands of today's vehicles. Zero-emission electric drive and it creates through the use of lithium batteries in addition to a range of 130 km one kilometers distance of 130 km. With its four doors, four seats, its length of only 3.48 m and a turning radius of only 4.50 m of the Peugeot iOn is your perfect city car. This also helps that you can recharge it fully in a conventional 220V outlet within six hours. If you are in a hurry, you can fill the iOn using a Rapidsystem in just 30 minutes to 80 percent, again with energy.
The iOn enjoys not only the environment but also consumers. So it is not surprising that the iOn nine European companies have already pre-ordered for the end of 2010 and want to use it, especially in car sharing and fleet vehicle field.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak may no longer work for the company in any official capacity, but he has stayed on as a tech advisor and sounding board. When the Woz says something it usually isn't without merit, which is why it was interesting to learn he thinks self-driving vehicles aren't going to happen.
Previously, Apple was said to have hundreds of employees working on an electrified, autonomous vehicle as part of Project Titan. Despite having the necessary testing permits, the company shifted toward developing software for self-driving applications in 2016. CEO Tim Cook confirmed that was the firm's new focus in 2017 but analysts and industry insiders have continued to claim the Apple Car is still quietly in development. Maybe someone should tell that to Wozniak because he seems to think the entire idea is bogus. (Read More…)

STOCKTON — After Visionary Home Builders acquired a foreclosed downtown office building in 2015, it wasted little time before revealing renovation plans that would convert the site into affordable housing, with onsite social services, for military veterans and their families.
But securing financing took longer than expected, delaying the renovation and repurposing of the vacant building at 804 N. Hunter St.
The wait, however, appears to be almost over. A city council vote Tuesday night, Visionary CEO Carol Ornelas said Monday, is the only remaining item on the financing checklist still to be crossed off.
The council is scheduled to vote on whether or not to approve the issuance of up to $30 million in multifamily housing revenue bonds by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) — an agency that includes Stockton and 520 other California cities, counties and special districts.
"We're very, very excited," Ornelas said. "We're ready to rock 'n' roll."
The city will not be taking on any additional debt if the council gives its approval Tuesday night, according to a staff report. The council previously gave its approval 14 months ago, but that approval is nearing its expiration date.
The finished Hunter Street project is to have 74 apartments, two for onsite managers and the rest for residents. Plans call for six studios, 21 one-bedroom units, 21 two-bedroom units and 24 three-bedroom units.
It will be available for households with incomes that are no more than 60 percent of the area's median income, and veterans and their families will make up a large portion of the residents, Ornelas said. Rents are expected to range from $516 to $919 a month. Catholic Charities will handle case management for residents, helping them gain access to services for veterans, health care and transportation.
"All the financing is in place" pending the council vote, Ornelas said.
The Hunter Street project is one of at least three new affordable-housing developments pegged for downtown Stockton in the next couple of years.
Visionary also is continuing its longstanding effort to develop Grand View Village, an affordable housing and retail project that would be near the downtown movie complex.
Closest to opening is Anchor Village, a Newport Partners project that broke ground several months ago at Fremont and Hunter streets. When Anchor Village opens, it will provide another affordable-housing development for veterans just down the street from Visionary's Hunter Street project.
Also Tuesday, the city council is scheduled to vote on a proposed contract that would bring the Sacramento Kings' G League team to Stockton Arena and on whether to sell 1.6 acres in southeast Stockton that would be developed into a 1.6-acre health care/retail/housing development by STAND Affordable Housing. If approved, STAND's price tag will be $1.

Tony Blackburn has signed a two-year deal with BBC Radio 2, but joked he hopes he lives long enough to reach the end of it.
The Golden Hour and Sounds of the 60s host's contract will run until 2020.
Tony, 75, said: "I have got another two-year contract with the BBC.
"It is a matter of actually trying to live as long as your contracts now."
It is a massive vote of confidence from the BBC after the DJ was taken off-air in February 2016, following criticism of him in Dame Janet Smith's report into the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Tony was reinstated to Radio 2 last January.
He hosts Tony Blackburn's Golden Hour on Fridays at 7pm, and Sounds of the 60s at 6am on Saturdays, repeated on Sundays.
The DJ said of staying on-air: "I think you can keep going, so long as the voice is there. Terry Wogan would hae carried on."
But he added: "Some people go on a bit too long."
Tony hosted his first BBC Radio programme in August 1967, then launched BBC Radio 1 the following month as its first breakfast show host.

- the act of subjugating by cruelty, force, etc or the state of being subjugated in this way (by pressing against)
I was thinking of this word as the relative humidity level rose yesterday to 90% while the air temperature hovered in the 90's, Fahrenheit, that is, not Prince's purple era. Weather reporters use a variety of terms to describe the levels of humidity. Comfortable is a nice one. Then comes moist. Sticky. Maple syrup sticky. And finally wet concrete encapsulating with only a straw to breathe through, i.e., drowning. The dogs days of summer do feel cruel until one gets into air conditioned nirvana, and then, ahhhh, all that salty sweat chills you down. It's oppressive, for sure, until the fall arrives.
Oppression is not just a relative humidity concept, though. It gets at hostility between people groups as well. Like too much water in the air can slow folks down, too much money, religion, politics, crime, noise, pollution, regulation, etc. can likewise become oppressive. Humans slow into a torpid state under the weight of oppressions. If one does not jump quickly like the frog thrust into boiling water, then that one will die incrementally, one degree at a time.
During the horrors of Hitler's Final Solution and his fantasy of a Third Reich, many people groups were oppressed, not just the Jews. Other undesirables included the Gypsies or Roma. Thought to have emigrated out of (E)gypt, gypsies were believed to be inferior people, non grata because they were non-Aryan. They had the wrong blood and were nomadic and mentally defective. The Nazis were all about 'blood and soil'. Blacks and Poles were also considered like Gypsies to be "sub human", deserving to be sterilized and/or murdered.
Jehovah's Witnesses were another lesser known group of undesirables because their faith forbade saluting the flag or shouting "Heil Hitler". No matter their blood lines, these folks weren't good sheep and refused to worship the state, its megalomaniacal leader, or The Reich's hypnotic symbols. Off to prison they went because they refused Hitler's twisted delusions.
Homosexuals were undesirable as well. Not much has changed, so it seems to me. Because they did not fit the bogus Aryan mythology, they had to be herded into concentration camps and eventually exterminated. They had to wear pink triangles in concentration camps to mark them as homosexuals. Remember Jews had to wear yellow Stars of David. Strange isn't it, that any extra markers were needed to identify these obviously undesirable people. If they were so obviously inferior, wouldn't that have been self evident? Nope. The Nazis got confused when they met blonde haired, blue eyed non Aryans, like Poles. They would ship these kids back to Germany and have them raised by good Aryans. Shallow, yes? Ironic twist: their unbreakable code was broken by a homosexual, Alan Turing, father of the modern day computer.
Intellectuals were also undesirable in Germany and Austria. To think differently than the State was suspicious and finally a death sentence. Actually, their crime was simply thinking. The Nazi party line was unintellectual emotionalism, mostly fantasies. Ultimately the horrible treatment of intellectuals led to a brain drain in the Reich. The intellectuals oppressed out of Nazi held lands were some of the very folks who developed the atomic bomb and other weapons that ended the war. Einstein is the best known genius run out of the Reich lands.
Let's not forget Communists. They were suspect because they were not easily incorporated into the one true faith of German National Socialism. Plus the Germans considered Russians to be sub humans, and most communists hailed from Russia back then.
Mentally and physically disabled, or as the Nazis like to say "defective", folks were sterilized or euthanized. So tidy and scientifically unsound. Another measure of how shallow the Nazis were. If you were deaf, you'd be sterilized. "Hear me? No kids!!" Alcoholics, drug addicts, and criminals met the same fate in concentration camps.
And the first ones to get rounded up and oppressed? Why the free press, of course. The old saying goes "Truth is the first casualty of war". The enemy of the state, hmmm, that sounds familiar. Judges and lawyers were also gathered up for arrest. Journalists and folks who knew the law had to be silenced in Hitler's Reich. Why they might teach others to think and then write about their thoughts.
Then all non Aryans except the Chinese and Japanese were undesirable. Good old xenophobia by Adolf. He had some grudging respect for their ancient civilizations and made them "honorary Aryans". Megalomaniacs are nothing if not inconsistent.
I'm sure I have skipped over some other groups like Roman Catholics. They had a higher calling than the Third Reich, which was intolerable to Hitler and his henchmen, whose ultimate goal was a dechristianized Germany after the war. There was only room for one god, Hitler.
Why the history lesson, Burrito? Let's see. Today we have a virulent xenophobic streak running through many of our elected officials. Some of the targets are the same as they were for Hitler– Blacks, the free press, protectors of the law, intellectuals, and anything resembling socialism. However we have some new player in the scapegoat pen. Muslims, of course. They need to be locked out of our country. Illegal aliens, especially Mexicans, also have to be terrorized. They are sub humans, after all. Lock them up. Generalize from the few and demonize them all. Transgendered folks took on unprovoked lightning bolts right from the jump of this new administration as a potential threat to military esprit de corps. No data needed here, just visceral gut check. The order came from the top down, not from the operational level. One more solution for which no problem existed.
Of course the old "tough on crime" battle cry continues, as it did for Richard Nixon and Joe McCarthy. It's easy to hammer at groups that have little support and no real constituency such as inmates, alcoholics, and addicts. Remember the great opioid crisis response promised on the campaign trail? Yeah, the tax cut and deregulations and the end of universal insurance access needed to be tended to first, I guess. Hell, for the price of a good ego massage parade in D.C. you could actually help many of the least of the citizenry.
Well, oppression is still with us. Probably like humidity it always will be. Still, a guy can run his dehumidifier and hope for better times. Fall is coming.

Nowdays profit is king, the higher the margins the greater the executive bonuses. Short-term results seem to polarize between the good and the bad. Yet Louis Vuitton stands out for the long-term vision implemented in its own development.
The brand can dare to match a French uber-chic avant-garde designer and an American DJ turned trendsetter. Diversity is a reality at Louis Vuitton.
Louis Vuitton is one of the most prestigious brands in luxury, and since the '90s it has collaborated with artists who have contaminated but never distorted the brand.
From Stephen Sprouse to Takashi Murakami and Yayoi Kusama, renowned artists have given their own interpretations to the brand by enriching its storytelling and imagination while contributing to its relevance even beyond the luxury system.
These collaborations have magnified the brand's DNA. The brand has always been developed with the management technique of the never-ending maintenance, of daily adjustments and of careful management with a long-term perspective.
In the past 20 years, the brand went through charismatic CEOs such as Yves Carcelle and Michael Burke with very different leadership styles, as well as energetic creative directors such as Marc Jacobs while never changing its core values.
The evolution of the brand has been carefully driven with the purpose of a smooth but steady growth.
The launch of the collaboration with the New York-based skateboard brand, Supreme, did not disturb the brand's perception nor the opportunity to dress the First Lady of France.
A dream team of creative directors has been put in place: Nicolas Ghesquière, Virgil Abloh and Francesca Amfitheatrof. They all contribute with different yet stylish points of view to the brand's evolution.

This week on The Intentional Family Podcast, we discussed family friendly activities to do on a budget. After mentioning the resources found on our website with ideas such as this free date night idea blog post, or our various Pinterest boards – we challenged our listeners to make use of the budget and time they are already spending by turning it into intentional family time. Here are some ideas to get you started.
Library Time
Libraries are free resources in most cities. On your next library visit, try making it more interesting with one of these simple ideas:
- Make a scavenger hunt of subjects, authors or other ideas to find. (like this simple one great for toddlers).
- Get-to-know your family by taking turns choosing book titles that describe yourself or family members.
- Share your favorite childhood books with your family members and explain why you love them.
Dinner Time
Family dinner is already on the menu. Switch it up by making it more intentional with one of these simple ideas:
- Make a cooking competition. Split the family into two teams and work together with the ingredients you already have on hand to see what you can create.
- Put on a mock how-to cooking show.
- Invite extended family or neighbors over for a social dinner night.
- Check out this free family dinner conversation option.
Park Time
Getting outdoors together is always a good idea. Take it to the next level with one of these simple ideas:
- Do a photo scavenger hunt by splitting into teams and taking photos with different objects such as playground equipment or types of bugs.
- Take your typical meal on the go by making a picnic for some outdoor family time.
- Play an equipment-free sport such as freeze tag or red-rover.
What ideas do you have? Share them in the comments below!
