Pinterest is a photo-sharing website that is rocketing in popularity. It's still in its infancy but it is already proving to be a great social media tool. Here are a few tips on how your charity can get involved and get experimenting.
Pinterest has been around in one form or another since 2010, but recently it's experienced a massive surge in popularity. It's goal is to connect "people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests." For charities the goal should be that they can use Pinterest to connect people and communities based on their social interests and motivation to do good.
It is a photo-sharing website that takes its name from its pinboard-like design. What makes Pinterest stand-out from its competitors is that it blends elements from 'traditional' photo-sharing websites such as Flickr with the social media aspects of websites like Facebook. It combines the visual flare of the former with the shareability of the latter.
Among social media sites Pinterest has a unique demographic – with women currently making up 90% of its user base, and most of them being between the ages of 25 and 45. This is a demographic that most online campaigns find difficult to target and one that is a great source of donations. Pinterest is already starting to prove itself as a great tool for reaching this target and many users are finding that it has greater referral rates than both Twitter and Google+.
How can you use it?
Pinterest is a photo-sharing website at heart so you need to consider whether your charity is well suited to this very visual medium. There are some charities that are going to naturally be more suited to Pinterest than others – an animal rescue charity will find it a lot easier than one raising money to combat terminal illness. Don't let this dissuade you though as with a bit of effort and creativity any charity will be able to make use of Pinterest, and here are a few tips on how.
Be upbeat
Looking through Pinterest can be a chaotic affair. There are lots of pictures fighting for your attention and users tend to browse through hundreds of pictures to find ones they like. So you need to do something to make yours stand out. With Pinterest being a light-hearted website the most effective tactic is to be upbeat. Don't show people the terrible things you are fighting, show them the good your work has brought about and make them feel positive that by supporting your cause they are going to help you make a difference.
Create coherent themes
Pinterest allows you group together the photos you upload and re-pin them into 'boards'. This is just Pinterest's term for collections of photos that people can follow. Every time you update a board everyone who follows it will get a notification, so make sure to look through your photos for a theme and create boards out of photos that are relevant to each other. Group together photos that follow a similar colour scheme, that focus on the same subject matter or use boards to tell a story and keep people engaged. If your charity has a shop, these boards are great for showcasing your merchandise and increasing your fundraising potential.
Don't be too vain
It's important to get your message across but, as with all social networks, if you repeat your message too much people will begin to tune it out. Mix it up by re-pinning other non-profits and inspirational people. This is a great way to show to your audience that you aren't just thinking about yourself and it also gives you a chance to build up a relationship with other charities. They may even return the favour and re-pin one of your photos.
Link into other social networks
Although your Pinterest campaign will likely be aimed at a different audience to your other social media campaigns it's still a good idea to link them all together. Social media networks all feed off each other, by sharing links to your Pinterest boards on Twitter and linking back to your Twitter feed on Pinterest you can create a reciprocal cycle that benefits both of your campaigns as well as bringing them all together.
Pinterest is a great website but, although it's been around for a few years, it's still in its infancy. People are still finding new and unique ways to use it. So get involved and get experimenting.

The era of piracy in the Bahamas began in 1696.
Privateers would plunder Indian Empire trade ships,
and brought their ships loaded with loot into
Nassau's harbor. They were known to have
bribed their way in with gold, silver and gun powder.
In return, Nassau was established as a base – where pirates could
operate and travel through safely!
"My Given Birth name is Edward Teach, however I am identified as 'Blackbeard'. I am the most infamous pirate who has ever touched these seas, any MY TALES shall never be forgotten!"
"I've SAILED these seas! I Once OWNED these seas!
To Date- MY TREASURES are still hidden within these seas!"
I am CAPTAIN BLACKBEARD, and THIS is MY REVENGE!"
Today's pirates can be found on the island's ONE & ONLY PIRATE SHIP-Blackbeard's Revenge. On-board, our guests relive a true, modern-day pirate adventure with live dramatizations of the revolts and plunder of PIRACY! Men, woman, and children of all ages become our new pirate recruits, and receive all the necessary training on how to become a true pirate as we cruise through Nassau's Harbor and Paradise Island!

His responsibilities were so enormous and his objectives were so grandiose that Adolf Hitler simply could not afford any political opposition. Consequently, he needed a powerful national political police force that will make sure that all political opposition is eliminated in the shortest possible and never ever "returns from the dead".
One of his enormous responsibilities was to radically increase material and emotional well-being of Germans. To achieve this objective, he obviously had to radically bring down street crime and ideally to eliminate organized crime altogether. And keep it that way, of course. Which required a very powerful national criminal police force.
He faced a very serious obstacle – traditionally, law enforcement functions in Germany were relegated to local, municipal and state (Land) governments. This tradition was so entrenched that it took him more than three years to establish the genuinely national police force that will combine political, criminal and order police.
On June 17th, 1936, Hitler signed into law the decree of the unification of all police forces in Germany and appointed SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler to the position of Chief of German Police.
In this position Himmler was nominally subordinate to Wilhelm Frick (Reich Interior Minister), but as Reichsführer-SS, he answered only to Hitler personally. By that time the SS was already far more powerful than the Interior Ministry (the latter being just a typical civilian bureaucracy) so it is no surprise at all that in no time all German police forces (all three of them – political, order and criminal) – were de-facto absorbed into the SS.
Himmler divided his police empire into two components – Security Police (Sicherheitspolizei – SiPo) that united Gestapo (political police) and Kripo (criminal police) into a single organization and Order Police (Ordnungspolizei – OrPo).
SiPo was functionally identical to the FBI (which was rumored to be Himmler's inspiration); only in Nazi Germany, unlike in the United States there was no local, municipal or even state police force after 1936. OrPo included not only uniformed police, but also all emergency response organizations, including fire brigades, coast guard, factory security guards, civil defense, etc.
In addition, Himmler had under his command another organization that performed security functions, only for the SS and NSDAP, not the Nazi State. It was the SS Intelligence Service (Sicherheitsdienst – SD).
It had two branches. The first one was domestic intelligence (Inland-SD), a rough equivalent of present-day BfV (German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (German – Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz). The second one was foreign intelligence (Ausland-SD), a rough equivalent of present-day CIA or MI-6.
The most "functionally rich" (by far) was Ordnungspolizei (OrPo). It performed thirteen police and related functions and thus included the following components (departments):
- Administration was (among other responsibilities) the command authority for civilian law enforcement groups, which included the Gesundheitspolizei (health police), Gewerbepolizei (commercial or trade police), and the Baupolizei (building police).
- State protection police was state uniformed police in cities and most large towns, which included police-station duties and barracked police units for riots and public safety.
- Municipal protection police was a municipal uniformed police in smaller and some large towns. Although fully integrated into the Ordnungspolizei-system, its police officers were municipal civil servants. The civilian law enforcement in towns with a municipal protection police was not done by the Verwaltungspolizei (central OrPo office), but by municipal civil servants. Until 1943 they also had municipal criminal investigation departments, but that year, all such departments with more than 10 detectives, were integrated into the Kripo.
- Gendarmerie (state rural police) were tasked with frontier law enforcement to include small communities, rural districts, and mountainous terrain. With the development of a network of motorways or Autobahnen, motorized gendarmerie companies were set up in 1937 to ensure the traffic safety.
- Traffic police (was the traffic-law enforcement agency and road safety administration of Germany. The organization patrolled Germany's roads (other than motorways which were controlled by Motorized Gendarmerie) and responded to major accidents. The traffic police was also the primary escort service for high Nazi leaders who usually traveled (often covering great distances) by automobile rather than by train or by aircraft.
- Water police was the equivalent of the coast guard and river police. Tasked with the safety and security of Germany's rivers, harbors, and inland waterways, the group also had authority over the SS-Hafensicherungstruppen ("harbour security troops") which were Allgemeine-SS units assigned as port security personnel.
- Fire police consisted of all professional fire departments under a national command structure.
- Freiwillige Feuerwehren, the local volunteer civilian fire brigades. At the height of the Second World War, in response to heavy bombing of Germany's cities, the combined fire police and Freiwillige Feuerwehren numbered nearly two million members.
- Fire Departments – volunteer fire departments, conscripted fire departments and industrial fire departments were auxiliary police subordinate to the Ordnungspolizei.
- Security and Assistance Service – emergency response force, roughly equivalent to FEMA in the United States if viewed together with Technical Emergency Corps (TeNo) – a corps of engineers, technicians and specialists in construction work that in 1937 became a technical auxiliary corps of the German police.
- Radio protection (Funkschutz) was made up of SS and Orpo security personnel assigned to protect German broadcasting stations from attack and sabotage. The Funkschutz was also the primary investigating service which detected illegal reception of foreign radio broadcasts.
- Postal protection (Postschutz) comprised roughly 45,000 members and was tasked with the security of Germany's Reichspost, which was responsible not only for the mail but other communications media such as the telephone and telegraph systems.
- Railway police (Bahnschutzpolizei) tasked with ensuring the security of passenger and freight railway traffic and railway infrastructure.
- Factory protection police (Werkschutzpolizei) were the security guards of Nazi Germany. Its personnel were civilians employed by industrial enterprises, and typically were issued paramilitary uniforms.
The only problem with thus structure was that it artificially separated Gestapo and Kripo with the SD intelligence agency. Although the latter was formally the Party, not the state organization, in reality it served both supplying both components of SiPo with vital domestic and foreign intelligence information.
Hence, it was not a surprise at all that on September 27th. 1939 Himmler combined Gestapo, Kripo and SD into Reich Main Security Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt – RSHA). Gestapo became Amt IV (Department IV), Kripo Amt V, Inland-SD Amt III and Ausland-SD Amt VI.
The RSHA was often abbreviated to RSi-H in correspondence to avoid confusion with the SS-Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt (RuSHA; "SS Race and Settlement Office") which was established earlier – in 1931 (even before Nazis came to power).

Seven �most notable� properties were added to Columbia�s list of 110 last night at a Tiger Hotel gala that brought residents together to share stories and memories.
The Columbia Historic Preservation Commission presented awards to property owners � or in some cases to public figures � in recognition of some of the city�s long-standing treasures.
This year�s nominees were the Berry Building; the house at 211 Bingham Road; the Stephens College stables; the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house; the University of Missouri�s Schlundt Hall and annex; Jewell Cemetery; and Columbia�s brick streets.
The event is merely a recognition program and doesn�t restrict the properties or their owners in any way. The real purpose of nominating them, commission Vice Chairman Brent Gardner said, is �to bring notoriety to properties that are historic and need their stories told.�
Commission Chairman Brian Treece said nominees were selected from a list of 10 to 20 applicants. The only requirements are that each nominee be more than 50 years old and have been connected with an important person, place or event in Columbia�s history or designed by a notable architect.
�We try to have a balance of both residential, commercial properties, academic buildings and ecclesiastic buildings, like churches,� Treece said.
Displays on each of the nominees showed pictures, documents and other historical information. There were two unusual choices this year, Treece said.
The first is Jewell Cemetery, at South Providence Road and Carter Lane. The state historic site is maintained by the Department of Natural Resources and was once part of an estate owned by George Jewell. Now the small, tree-covered plot surrounded by a stone wall and iron gates holds more than 40 of his descendants. The dates on the graves range from 1822 to 1968.
The Jewell family is considered one of Missouri�s earliest dynasties. Among the more well-known plots are those of William Jewell (1789-1852), who held political office as Columbia mayor and later as a state legislator, and Charles Henry Hardin (1820-1892), who was the state�s 22nd governor. In the back of the cemetery are about 20 unmarked limestone blocks thought to mark the graves of the family�s slaves.
Another atypical nominee was the group of 10 of Columbia�s exposed brick streets � Bouchelle, Glenwood and University avenues and Cherry, Lee, Lowry, Sanford, Seventh, Short and Waugh streets.
Many of the streets date to the 1920s, with Lee Street dating back to 1909. Two dozen of the city�s brick streets have long been paved over, including Eighth Street and parts of Broadway.
�I really think they really add to the vibrancy of the neighborhoods downtown,� Treece said.
Brick streets can go about 50 years without needing repair, as opposed to asphalt, which typically requires work every 15 years. They also function as a natural speed barrier.
Mayor Darwin Hindman accepted the nomination for the brick streets.
�Can you imagine the stories that could be told about what happened � as people went along those brick streets and passed old houses with chicken coops in the backyard?� he said, eliciting laughter.
In closing remarks, Treece said that in taking care of the city�s historic properties, �I really think we can make Columbia a gateway and a historic destination.�

In the first episode of You Couldn't Make This Crap Up, copywriter and creative director Dave Trott explains why you'd better be doing a good job if you're going to swear at superiors.
While working on a Pepsi ad early on in his copywriting career, Trott devised the strapline 'Lip smackin', thirst quenchin', ace tastin', motivatin', good buzzin', cool talkin', high walkin', fast livin', ever givin', cool fizzin' Pepsi'. The team loved it, and he got to write the script for the TV ad too.
Furious at not being invited on the shoot and how the ad turned out, Trott went to the pub to get drunk, swore angrily at the creative director and got himself fired.
"Luckily enough on Monday he took it back and said we both did something wrong there," he said. "I was a junior and totally out of order but he thought the work I was doing was worth it."
You Couldn't Make This Crap Up is created by Nicole Bosky and Tom Baker

Austrian Alpinist Christian Huber perishes in an attempt to summit Ultar Sar
Austrian mountaineer Christian Huber has died in an to summit Ultar Sar (7,338m) in central Hunza district of Gilgit-Baltistan. He, along with two other British mountaineers, was on an expedition to summit Ultar Sar, the very same peak that took the life of Tsuneo Hasegawa in the year 1991.
The three were hit by an avalanche at Ultar Sar Camp-II in their sleep.
The body of Christian Huber was recovered by Pakistan Army in a high-altitude rescue mission. The two British mountaineers who were stuck at the peak unable to descent were also rescued.
According to a Tweet by Major General Asif Ghafoor, the Director General of the ISPR, climbers Bruce Normand and Miller Timothy from the UK were rescued alive; however, Christian Huber from Austria did not survive.
"Pakistan Army pilots in a daring mission rescued three foreign mountaineers stuck in snow avalanche at above 19000 feet high Ultar Sar Peak near Hunza. Bruce Normand & Miller Timothy from UK successfully rescued alive while Christian Huber from Austria had succumbed to avalanche."
The expedition was being managed by Higher Ground Expeditions, a Hunza valley based tour operating company.
Christian Huber's body was flown to Islamabad after the recovery while the rescued mountaineers are admitted at Combined Military Hospital (CMG) in Gilgit.
Ultar Sar is part of the Batura Muztagh sub-range in the Karakoram. More people have died in the attempt that those who have successfully summited the peak.

Stitches West 2014: Recap
Stitches West is a knitting convention in San Jose, California.
They have lots of vendors and tons of classes so for me it's a great chance to pick up some cool new yarn and take a class or two.
This year I took the argyle sock class with Anne Berk. She was an awesome teacher and everybody in class learned a ton. Class was especially fun because three of my best friends took it with me and we had a serious blast.
The above photo is of swatches that we all made in class. Mine is the aqua colored one near the lower center.
I'm looking forward to making some fun socks with what I learned. I may even make some mitts for the kids. That would be even faster to finish.
Spring is coming though, so time to knit faster is here.
I got some yarn from this vendor Plucky Knitter. They have their own yarn base that no other vendor uses, it is made strictly for them. It gives you amazing stitch definition and I think that may be due to it having more twist in the yarn. Either way, their yarn is hard to come across so the booth was wall to wall people. I did work my way in though so plucky socks are on the horizon.
I also got some Bugga! yarn and started in on a shawl called Catkin. It may take me a zillion years to finish it. Maybe more than a zillion. I'm still very focused on my DIY Alabama Chanin skirt, so the knitting is happening but...at a certain pace I guess.
Oh and I tripped over some stitch markers by Neese's Pieces that were made out of hand blown glass. Very unusual and pretty.
Next year I hope I can take another class with my buddies. I cannot remember when I've ever had so much fun. See So Sue's blog post about it here, and check out my friend Sharon's blog Knits are for Kids too!

This time of year it is such a chore walking into a mall. Living across the street from a fairly popular one, I dread going to exchange a coat I purchased. I know I will be told to go to this counter, then that counter and then finally to wait in a long line of Christmas shoppers with an awkward sized box making it more and more tempting to wrap the damn box and mail it back to The Bay. And THAT is why I prefer on-line shopping.
But I want my credit right away so I am hoping it will all work out in a timely manner, so I can return home to the calmness of life with two cats looking comfortably at the snow from my comfy couch.

Jay's humor is crude and unforgiving, and he without a doubt offends just about everyone he runs into, but once you get past his abrasiveness and usually sexually orientated humor, he's really just a big teddy bear. I had a blast hanging out with him at Mayhem, and really hope that he makes his way to Michigan again sometime soon!
Amanda: What made you decide to change things up, and start touring with metal bands, rather than doing a comedy tour?
Jay: I've been doing stand up for 12 years, and I've just been starting to get more known from Z Rock, and my ½ hour set on Comedy Central. I kind set it up like this, seeing as to how I'm coming from a rock show, like that was sort of my background. Just this type of crowd, very specifically Mayhemfest, and almost always when I go to any metal show, I'll be surprised because I'll get recognized a lot, and so I really try and tap into that market. I know that Mayhemfest is one of the few festivals that doesn't have a comedy tent.
Amanda: I have to say, it's cool to actually see you hosting Mayhem this time around.
Jay: Well I proposed the whole thing; I attended the Jagermeister tour before this tour, and was on the road for seven weeks. That just kind of fell in my lap, but with Mayhem I proposed to them about possibly having a comedy tent set up or something, and they came with the offer, of just going up and kind of just shang-hi the crowd, just do it straight up, so I was like, yea fuck it, let's go for it.
Amanda: How does this compare to just doing stand up in a small club?
Jay: It's not a very active set with the crowd here, and generally I like to be intimate, like I sit on the stage generally and do my comedy. I also can't really try new jokes too often, not that I'm sticking to a script, but I know the jokes that'll work in this atmosphere, because I'm doing it every night. I try and mix it up as much as I can.
Amanda: So it's definitely a change up from what you're used to then, right?
Jay: Yea, I pick my battles- I like the heckling, because when people heckle I'm usually pretty quick witted about it. I pick my battles here because the people on the lawn have no idea what the shit head in the front row is wearing, as I'm picking him apart, but still, it's a lot of fun without a doubt. Just being in this atmosphere is great; I get off the stage and Rob Zombie goes on after me. It's insane; these are people I pay money to see. I had a moment with Jonathan Davis on the Jager tour; he was playing me some of his music on his bus, and I think my face was looking weird or something, and he said something to me about it; he asked me what's up, and I was like, 'oh nothing, but you know what?' I paid 100 dollars to see you before, and now we're shootin' the shit on your tour bus at 3a.m. in the morning. It's very surreal, but then I go 'but I'm a dude, and we can hang, and I'm not going to make it weird for you, and I'm not going to stare the WHOLE time we hang, but in my mind, I'm just like WOW.'
Amanda: What ever made you decide to get into stand-up comedy in the first place?
Jay: was always a fan of it growing up. Like a HUGE fan of it, then when I graduated from high school a friend of mine told me I should give it a shot, since I was always such a fan and randomly happened upon an open mic, and I started going and watching for a couple of weeks. I chickened out on going on, but then after about 6 weeks I gave it a shot, and was like, WHOA; and I dropped out of college, and then I didn't do good again for about 3 months.
Amanda: So you didn't do any training or go take any kind of classes or anything like that?
Jay: No, I tell people you really can't, it's a waste of money, it's a scam that comics do, because comics are broke, well most of them, so they have comedy teaching classes, with shitty comics who try and teach. There's nothing to teach, I mean there's advice, but that's about it. I've been asked to teach a class before, and the reason they wouldn't let me is because I said I would only teach a class to people who really wanted to become comedians, not like someone who wants to get better at public speaking, or somebody who has to sign up because of their job. I can give genuinely good advice, because I had great advice; I had great mentors. I grew up with Patrice O'Neal, and Dave Atell, who took me on the road with him for six years, opening for him everywhere in the country. He's been really great to me. To get to learn from that kind of caliber of comic is invaluable.
Amanda: Do you personally think you're a pretty funny guy?
Jay: Yea, you know what it is, I think I'm a good comic, I don't think I'm the best, I just know that my confidence is that I'm a funny person, I know that I'm a funny guy. The past few days, they've been sending me around with a microphone, and having me just walking through the audience. Most of the funny stuff is not even when I stop to talk to them, but when it's just me and the camera, and I just kind of narrate what's going on, it's hilarious.
Amanda: That'd be awesome to watch- You should make a dvd out of it or something.
Jay: Well they've been putting them up online everyday on youtube. If you go to the Mayhemfest website, you can easily find them all. We had a good one the other day; it was this couple, a goofy looking white couple, who had a black girl with fangs and green contacts, on a leash. We were in Virginia Beach at the time, and I said to them 'what's going on here?', and she said 'well, they're married, and I'm on a leash'. I said 'OH', and as the word slave's coming out, I realized the connotation- that it's two white people with a black girl on a leash, and I go 'OH I get it, so you're their slaaaaaaaaaave'. On the video they even put the word slave (uncomfortable).
Amanda: What does your mom think of your comedy act? Does she approve?
Jay: Oh yea, she loves it- my mom's filthy!
Amanda: So is that basically where you get it from then, do you think?
Jay: No, she's not funny at ALL, but she has a great sense of humor though. She knows me; my mom when I first started was always the source of a lot of my comedy. My mom's young, I'm 32 now, and my mom's 52, and my stepfather's 50, so I had young parents growing up.
Amanda: So they'd be more the type to be hanging out at Mayhem then?
Jay: Yea, my mom did actually come to the one in Philly, as a matter of fact she was there the day this girl came up to me and told me that she could queef on command. I was like, well I have to bring that on stage, and I did. I go up there and say, 'hey this is Heather, and she's going to queef for you guys', and then she grabs the microphone and says, 'I just want to give a shout out to all my friends' so I grabbed the microphone back, and I was like 'nobody wants to hear your face mouth talk'.
Amanda: Well since I'm such a fan of Z Rock, I was curious if it's ever difficult for you to play a primarily gay role on the show?
Jay: No, not at all, me and my buddies do gay jokes with each other all the time. I'm not a homophobe at all. It was great actually, because it gave me a lot of room to be funny. Season one was really good because it was before me and Paulie genuinely knew each other.
Amanda: So I can imagine it was a bit uncomfortable then?
Jay: For Him! I'm a comedian, so I got it, but Paulie's just a singer in the band.
Amanda: Do you have any kind of dirt on any of the other cast members of Z Rock, or maybe some that you have yourself?
Jay: Oh yea, no I'm a creep, I have all kinds of filthy interests.
Amanda: Like what?
Jay: I don't know, like what regarding, like porn?
Amanda: Anything in general, any quirky little fetishes or secrets you don't want anyone to know about.
Jay: I think I've said them all. I think I tell them all on stage; I really have no secrets, because anything that I would deem interesting enough to keep a secret, I would want to immediately tell on stage. The first time I ever did something where I was that blatant, where I didn't really think about what the crowd would think, was when I was waiting to go to a comedy club in time square, this was a couple of years ago, and while I was waiting, there was this porn store I was looking around in just killing time, and a girl walked up to me, and long story short she basically told me she was a hooker, which I was not interested in getting, but was just curious as to what a porn store hooker would cost. She was like 'I gotta make sure you're not a cop', and she said that she had to touch my dick, and reaches down my pants and grabbed my dick and started literally tugging on it, and then she said I had to touch a tittie . She whips out this crazy looking tittie, and she told me what it costs and I was like, OK.
Amanda: So that's the official 'I'm not a cop' move then?' I guess I wasn't aware of that. How much was the going rate.
Jay: 50 bucks. I was like, yea maybe later…or not. She came back over to me like 5 minute later and said you're really nice, so I think I should tell you something. I asked her what, and she basically told me in not so many words, that she was a guy. After that I left, and had to go on stage, and the first thing I told everyone was 'well everyone, I'm gay'. I was like, 'well, let me explain'. A lot of people wouldn't confess something like that in their lives; they would rather just bury it, and would never talk about it. It's like, at the end of the day I think people generally especially in comedy I've found, all of your deficiencies and flaws become your virtues. For every person who's like 'OH you're a faggot' someone else is going to be like 'dude that happened to me man'. People connect more to your awkward situations, your failures, and you honest situations. It's never interesting if you're telling a story about you beating someone up in a fight. It's much more interesting to tell someone about you losing, or just how scared you were going into it generally, or how you talked shit in the fight. It's more fun to tap into people's insecurities and failures, much more than like how awesome you are, and show your abs and shit. There have actually been a few comedians that I've told them that they're too handsome for comedy. I have a buddy of mine who's a good looking dude, in really good shape; We have a youtube video where we're making fun of the 'qweedo sensation', and my buddy behind me, is a comedian, good looking dude; when I first met him all his comedy was like, I banged this chick the other day. I remember like a year or so into our friendship, he was telling me as a kid he had severe OCD, and slight turret's, so he would make these noises, with all these squeaks and pops, and ticks, but he's doing very well now. I told him to start getting involved in that, there are people that understand that more so than his other style, and because it almost explains why you are how you are now. Now you're this vein, cocky, weird guy, because you were a little freak running around as a kid.
Amanda: Basically like he earned the right to be that way.
Jay: Exactly, and he's succeeding with that, you know, and he's on television now, and when I met him he would've had none of that. Three months into our friendship he asked me what I thought he should do differently, and it's helped him out quite a bit.
Amanda: Well I have to ask you this question, because I asked the guys of ZO2 the same one, and I want to see what you can come up with – If you had to be a porn star tomorrow what would your name be?
Jay: Well, I just always go with the formula, and mine's hilarious- You know the formula?
Amanda: I don't think I've ever heard of it.
Jay: It's a fun game; your first name would be your first pet's name, and your last name would be the street you grew up on.
Amanda: So what would yours be then?
Jay: Brandy Brockton, which is great if you're a chick.
Amanda: haha nice!
Amanda: Alright, one last question before you go on stage- If you could dig up one dead person and bring them back to life for a day, who would it be?
Jay: Jim Morrison.
Amanda: Awesome!

Normally when a brand unfollows me on Twitter, I don't utilize their products. However, when it comes to Chipotle I will make an exception as I really love eating their salads.
Let me step back in time as I also really enjoyed a double-wrapped burrito. Double-wrapped, you say? Yes, it is one of the options that many people do not know is available and especially comes in handy if you request a double meat portion. However at 300 calories alone for the burrito, a double-wrapped is just a little too much for me to eat today. In fact, I may limit myself to just one or two burritos a year, as I really just enjoy the salad bowl.
My salad bowl starts with a 2.5 ounces of leafy green romaine salad. Now one also has the option of brown rice or white rice and black or pinto beans. I skip both the rice and beans, but did you also know that you can request rice WITHOUT the cilantro? This is another option available for those non-cilantro eating Chipotleans. I then next move on to the fajita veggies, which includes green peppers and onions. The fajita veggies are a great low-caloric options for anyone interested in providing a little more mass to your salad and less "gas" to your salad.
Now it's on to the meats, which consist of chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas and if you are lucky, sofritos. I really like sofritas, but the closest location for me to get this vegetarian option is about 250 miles away and that is just a little too far away for me to drive.
Therefore, as I continue to be a selectarian ~ one day meat, the other day veggies ~ I simply go with chicken. I never eat the steak and I don't "dig on swine," so no pork for me. I always ask for double portions of meat, which is only another two ounces of chicken, but really provides for a nice, meaty salad. Lastly I top it off with the red tomatillo salsa. I always skip the sour cream and guacamole as I find those better suited for nachos, not my salad.
So when I leave Chipotle, I have only eaten a 415 calorie salad, with a whopping 67 (g) of protein and a very low 10 (g) of carbohydrates. I offset nearly 1300 (mg) of sodium by drinking plenty of water during lunch and for the next several hours.
This simple salad bowl is simply how I roll.

General terms and conditions
Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following business terms are applicable to all the contracts, which you conclude with us as a supplier (Ilka Jost) via the www.jost-technik.de website. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the inclusion, if necessary, of your own conditions is ruled out.
(2) A 'consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term 'businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products and/ or the provision of repair services.
(2) Our offers on the website are non-binding and are not a binding offer to conclude a contract.
(3) You can use the online shopping cart system to place a binding offer of purchase (order).
Here, the goods meant for purchase and/ or repair services are stored in the 'Shopping cart'. You can use the respective button in the navigation bar to call up the "shopping cart" and make changes at any time. After the 'check-out' page has been called up and the respective personal data and payment and shipping conditions have been entered, all the order data is displayed again on the order overview page. If you use the 'PayPal - Express' quick-payment system by clicking the correspondingly-marked button that is integrated into the shop system, you shall be directed to the PayPal log-in page. After a successful log-in procedure, your address data and account data that have been saved with PayPal are displayed. The 'next' button leads you back to the order overview page in our online shop.
Before the order is sent, you can re-check all the data, change it (which can also be done via the internet browser's 'back' function) or cancel the purchase transaction.
When the order is placed using the "Place order in conjunction with a liability to pay" button, you are considered to have made a binding offer to us.
You then receive an automatically-generated email regarding the receipt of your order. This email does not yet lead to the conclusion of a contract.
(4) The acceptance of the offer (and with it, the conclusion of the contract) takes place within a period of 2 days via a textual confirmation (e.g. email) in which you receive confirmation (order acknowledgement) regarding the execution of the order or the delivery of the products in question.
If you have not received any corresponding message within this deadline, you are no longer considered to be bound to your order. Under such circumstances, any services that have already been provided are restored without undue delay.
(5) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Provision of services in case of repairs
(1) Insofar as repair-related services form the subject-matter of the contract, we are obligated to carry out the repair-related activities that follow from the service description. We shall provide these services in all conscience, either personally or through an external party.
(2) You are obligated to cooperate. In particular, you have to describe the defect affecting the device as extensively as possible and make the defective device available.
(3) You shall have to bear the costs of sending us the defective device.
§ 4 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 5 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) Insofar as you are a business, the following difference applies to the aforementioned warranty regulations:
a) It is understood that the details provided by us and the product description provided by the manufacturer are the only things that represent the properties and condition of the product in question. Other advertisements, blurbs and statements issued by the manufacturer are not considered to be representative of the properties and condition of the said product.
b) If the goods are found to be faulty, we shall reserve the right to repair the goods or deliver replacements. If the defect is not removed, you can demand a reduction in the price or withdraw from the contract at your discretion. The defect removal is applicable after a failed second attempt, unless the circumstances prove otherwise, in particular due to the nature of the object and/or defect or other conditions. In case of repair, we must not bear the additional costs, which arise from the transfer of the item to a place other than the place of fulfilment, as far as the transfer does not correspond to the intended use of the item.
c) The warranty period amounts to a period of one year after delivery of the product. The reduction in time-limit does not apply:
- to damages culpably attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damages caused by wilful intent or gross negligence;
- insofar as we have wilfully concealed the defect or accepted a warranty for the quality of the goods;
- to goods which are used for a building in accordance with their normal use instructions and whose defects were caused by this;
- for statutory recourse claims, which you have against us in connection with warranty rights.
§ 6 Choice of law
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

WASHINGTON, August 29, 2017 — The author was concerned about an epic scene in the screenplay based on her popular 1936 novel:
"The fire scene in the motion picture is NOT the 'burning of Atlanta,'" wrote a concerned Margaret Mitchell, author of "Gone with the Wind," to filmmaker David O. Selznick. "The event pictured in the film occurred on September 1, 1864, when the Confederate troops evacuated Atlanta and set fire to certain buildings containing war materials to prevent them from falling into Union hands."
She worried the scene would imply "they burned their own city… Southerners are very touchy on this point… that Southerners burned up their own homes and cities."
She reminded Selznick it was troops under the command of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman that burned Atlanta before leaving the city, with his army torching its way to Savannah.
That famous movie scene, with Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) whipping his skittish horse until it pulls his wagon through Atlanta's bright orange conflagration – a panicked Katie Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) nearby – was fueled by movie sets belonging to the classic 1933 film "King Kong."
Burning the past – cities, and props – is nothing new to America.
Fearing a visit from the hooded night-riders of the alt-left, a.k.a. Antifa – currently engaged in an all-out war with statues of Confederate generals and bashing the skulls of peaceful free-speech marchers – inspired the management at Nashville's Orpheum theater to cancel its annual showing of "Gone with the Wind," a title which has graced the theater's marquee every year for more than thirty years.
Theater group president Brett Batterson told the Associated Press, "The Orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to a large segment of its local population."
It's worth noting that African-American actress Hattie McDaniel won the 1939 Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, edging out co-star Olivia de Havilland, Geraldine Fitzgerald ("Wuthering Heights"), Edna May Oliver ("Drums Along the Mohawk") and Maria Ouspenskaya ("Love Affair").
When McDaniel died of breast cancer in 1952, she bequeathed her Oscar statuette to historically black Howard University. But in the campus turmoil of the 1960s, McDaniel's Oscar vanished.
Some speculate the award was tossed into the Potomac River by black radicals angered at McDaniel's film portrayals of domestic servants. Still, others say an equally dismissive university administration hid the award from public view, stuffing it into a secret archive.
When the head of California's Ku Klux Klan heard Margaret Mitchell's book was being made into a film, he offered David O. Selznick his services as well as a thinly veiled threat:
"As Grand Dragon and King Kleagle of the Realm of California (State Head), and as having been an officer in the Klan since 1923, I believe I may be of material assistance to you, as Production Manager, and to Selznick International Pictures in assisting as technical advisor, as regards signs, symbols and actions of characters in Klan regalia."
He then added,
"All seemed to agree that if the Klan part of the picture were distorted or deleted the South would be insulted and that millions of Klanspeople would consider it a personal affront."
Selznick deleted the novel's sympathetic Klan scenes from the film anyway.
But unlike the voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1939, the stilted and doctrinaire 60s college radicals and today's violent alt-left were and remain incapable of recognizing the talent or humanity of Hattie McDaniel; or, for that matter, anyone with talents that stretch beyond one's ability to raise a clenched fist in mindless salute or to bring it down as a bludgeon.
Frankly, my dears, it's because they don't give a damn.

Funny Adam Ferrara quotes
I talk a lot about women in my act, 'cause let's face it -- if I was hungry, I would talk about food.
I don't think it's fair -- you get married, you give your wife a wedding ring. I think you should give her a mood ring. Oh, it may sound crass, but just check the color when you come home. 'Hi honey. Infernal red? Oh boy, I ain't getting laid, and I gotta cut the lawn, I know it.'
My father tried to give me the sex talk once, and he chickened out. He walked into my room and went, 'Adam -- uh, don't kiss guys.'
I love that magazine, man -- Victoria's Secret -- and it comes, like, every three hours.
The only marriage I've observed for any length of time is my parents -- 35 years. I asked my pop, I go, 'Pop, 35 years -- what do you hope for?' He's like, 'I hope you die first.'
That's the perfect microcosm for men and women: it takes a million sperm to find one egg 'cause they're all males and not one of them is gonna pull over and ask directions.
We're all products of our parents: all your mother's traits are in the egg and all your father's traits are in the sperm. And if I know my parents, that sperm and egg had a fight.
The human body is in constant change the minute we're born. It's in a constant state of decay. We're all like Ford Escorts, just falling apart.
Ladies, your happiness is very important to us. You have to understand that. Because when you're happy, you let us touch you.
Men tend to lie when it comes to sexual conquests. You should hear some of the ego-driven lies my friends have told me: 'Swear to God, man -- the hooker gave the money back.'
Sex is important to guys. We need stories to tell our friends.
I love my girlfriend, don't get me wrong. I truly love this woman, but I have the ability to have sex without any emotional involvement. It's a gift.
My girlfriend wants to get married. I tell you -- I hope she meets somebody nice.
I sincerely want to meet the girl that was meant for me, but I want to sleep with the girls that weren't.
I woke up my pop in the middle of the night 'cause the boogie man's under my bed. My pop is this big, huge man, nothing can hurt him. I went running into his bedroom like, 'Daddy, Daddy, the boogie man's under the bed!' Pop opens one eye, he's like, 'Is the boogie man bigger than me?' 'Well, no Daddy, he's not.' 'Well, you got your choice: you can deal with the boogie man or you can deal with me.'

Published onMay 14 2019
Recently we caught up with Bryony Mills Lantra Pesticides Assessor from Nurture Landscapes. Bryony gives us an insight into her career in Horticulture, where her love for the industry started, how her journey has blossomed and all of the benefits of having a career in horticulture.
What made you decide to start a career in the sector?
Ever since I was a young child, my mother and grandmother instilled in me a love of gardening and plants. That developed into a deep passion about horticulture and all its various elements. I find plants, the environment and nature incredible and I get an immense amount of satisfaction from being a part of this industry. All through my career I have tried to help empower others around me and teach them everything I find so fascinating. I think horticulture is crucial to people's health, both physical and mental and is so important to making the world around us better.
What experience had you had before you joined Nurture Landscapes?
I originally studied and qualified as a landscape designer to blend my love of horticulture with my love of art. Once I had qualified and worked in design for a while, I moved to the UK and really wanted to understand the maintenance element behind the designs I did. I started working in grounds maintenance for Gavin Jones and just fell in love with the challenge and sheer sense of achievement and pride I got from making the landscape around me look amazing. I was lucky to be taught on the job by some great people and also trained with the RHS as well as several other organisations (Lantra included!). I worked my way up from operative, foreman, supervisor to Head Gardener of an illustrious private estate which my team and I were lucky to be able to see re-designed and rebuilt into something spectacular. The estate went on to win a BALI Grand award. Once I had children, I could no longer work full time and the company was very supportive, creating a Horticultural Trainer position for me and from there, I went on to become Training Manager and I get a huge amount of pleasure and satisfaction form training now. In 2017, I achieved Chartered Horticulturist. In 2018, Gavin Jones became a part of Nurture Landscapes and we became a part of a much larger family which provides me with the opportunity to train and inspire even more people.
What drives you towards a role focused on improving skills in the sector?
Throughout my career in horticulture, the one thing I noticed was that so many of the people in our industry have practical experience, but they don't always understand the 'science behind the job'. For example, they knew that plants need to be pruned but not necessarily how, why, when or where. I think this is so important in understanding the job and having the knowledge to make good decisions. Likewise, training people in spraying, machinery or any of the courses Lantra provides is so important to keep people, the operators and the environment safe. We have a great responsibility to keep ourselves, our world and others safe, while doing the best possible job we can. Giving people these skills and knowledge gives them the power to be the best they can and to build their own careers and legacies. I feel very privileged to be a part of their growth and development and I love hearing about people that I have trained loving their work, progressing and advancing.
What do you enjoy about working with Lantra?
Lantra has a fantastic reputation within the industry and I am fortunate to be able to work with the organisation to improve the knowledge and skills within our industry. The courses are comprehensive, and the support given to both learners and to us as assessors and trainers is excellent. The fact that Lantra focuses heavily on horticulture and the horticultural industry ensures the quality and speciality which allows us to confidently deliver them.
Is there such a thing as a typical day in your job?
My days are anything but typical. I have a number of roles within the company, from training, to apprentice support, to consultancy. I can be assessing a pesticide application course, to working with apprentices to improve their skills in propagation, to writing and designing a new course. Likewise, I go anywhere from central London, to Essex, to Bristol and everywhere in between. My fellow Lantra trainer in Nurture, John Beavan, and I share a lot of the training and assessing and try to support each other wherever possible. As part of the compliance team, I also keep an eye out for health and safety within the company and help to make sure that all our sites are running to the highest level of safety.
What's the best thing about your job?
Without a doubt it is seeing learners really get interested and passionate about their jobs and what I am teaching them. I love seeing all the different sites, areas and people and talking to them about plants! I also love getting stuck in 'on the tools' whenever I can and keeping my practical skills up to date and sharp. Being able to create a positive and safe working environment for staff is also really important to me.
What advice would give to anyone wanting to work in the sector?
The sky is the limit and if you work hard and love what you do, you can do anything! This is such a versatile and diverse industry that you are never restricted to just one area. You are never too old to learn something new (I'm still learning every day!) and it certainly doesn't matter if you're male or female – my gender has certainly never held me back. There really is so much that is amazing about what we do so I encourage everyone to embrace every opportunity that comes their way.

Atlantic Records has become the first major record label to surpass CD sales by their overwhelming digital sales.
According to the New York Times, the record label responsible for rap stars like T.I., Diddy, Missy Elliot and Gnarls Barkley claims over half of their music profits stem from iTunes downloads, ring tones and other digital products.
"We're like a college basketball team on an 18-2 run," Atlantic Chairman Craig Kallman told Times.
Atlantic President Julie Greenwald admits its the company's ability to decipher today's consumer needs and available outlets to get music out.
"I think we've figured it out," Greenwald told Times. "It used to be that you could connect five dots and sell a million records. Now there are 20 dots you can connect to sell a million records."
Atlantic's success comes months after record breaking ring tone sales from their artists including Flo Rida "Get Low" and Lupe Fiasco's popular "Superstar." Despite these achievements, industry analysts are still skeptical to how much help digital sales will offer as the music industry continues to slump as a whole.
"It's not at all clear that digital economics can make up for the drop in physical," former EMI executive John Rose told Times. "The real question is how does the record industry change its rights structure so it captures a fairer percent of the value it creates in funding, marketing and managing the launch the artists."
Impressive sales like Tip's new platinum-selling album Paper Trail have helped Atlantic earn one of the highest digital revenue percentages within the record industry.

The following statement will sound counter-intuitive. That's because you've been lied to for years. Okay. Here goes.
In marketing, there's a case for style over substance.
It's a strong case, too.
Just think about this for a moment:
- The top political commentators get paid a ton of money, to deliver their take on the news for major networks.
- The also-ran commentators get paid peanuts, to deliver their take on the news, for small, local networks.
Here's the thing. In both cases, the news (substance) they comment on is the same. Here's why one of them is earning 10 times or 50 times more than the other. It's their style. The style with which they work.
For example:
- Their courage, when choosing to take (or avoid) a controversial stance.
- Their vocabulary.
- Their energy.
- Their ability to communicate with confidence.
- Their effectiveness when injecting their personality (style) into their work, so that it's truly theirs.
Here's my point. When it comes to business, the substance should be there by default. Every qualified consultant, coach, lawyer, whatever… knows what their service (substance) is and how it works. It's their style that makes all the difference. It's their style that sets them apart from the crowd.
Style over substance in marketing
The newsletters, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, Facebook groups, Medium publishers, etc., that people take notice of, all have their own style. The same is true of the most successful email marketing, advertising, marketing campaigns and copywriting.
And the ones that fail to grow, fail to get noticed, fail to make an impact… well… they don't.
Instead, they follow the cookie-cutter approach to marketing. They bought into the lie. The lie that says, "Just do things this way and it works. Follow the steps. 1-2-3".
That's bullshit.
It doesn't work. In fact, it can't possibly work. Because your style can't be found in a book.
You can certainly learn substance that way. However, your style, the very thing that gets you noticed, by default, can't possibly be learned from a marketing seminar, a course, a book or any other generalized form of information.
Because your style is all about you.
Where are you right now?
Okay, I already know that you totally understand your subject. So the substance is there. It's taken care of. That's covered. You're good.
But what about the style?
When it comes to your marketing, when it comes to the story behind your service, are you telling it from your perspective? Are you sharing the substance of your knowledge, using your voice, your stories and your experiences? Because it's your style that people connect with.
- It's your style that sets you apart.
- It's your style that causes people to return for more.
- It's your style that makes you approachable.
- It's your style that gives you a voice.
- It's your style that inspires people to share your message.
- It's your style that gives value to your substance.
- It's your style that motivates people to hire you or buy from you specifically, rather than a cheaper alternative.
And none of that can be robotized. Or automated. Because it's you. It's your authentic experience. It's your greatest marketing asset. In fact, with so many competitors out there, with so many people trying to get the attention of your prospective clients, your style is the most powerful tool in your arsenal.
So, give your style the oxygen it needs.

About PRP
Platelet-rich plasma is used in musculoskeletal medicine to focus your own body's ability to heal. PRP has been in clinical use since the 1990's. Many published randomized control trials (RCT) demonstrate both its effectiveness and safety for a range of injuries. These conditions include osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, and damaged vertebral discs.
Many people know that platelets form a clot if there is a cut in the skin. However, platelets do more than form clots. They also start the body's own repair process. When platelets activate to form a clot, they also release alpha granules, which have hundreds of chemical messengers in them that initiate and organize repair to the damaged tissue.
Precisely placing PRP into the site of injury can initiate the healing process by activating on the damaged cartilage or tendon. This is an inflammatory process, and inflammation is the vital first phase of healing.
What to Expect
Platelet rich plasma is made by taking some of your blood and performing a two-stage centrifuge process on it to concentrate the PRP.
First, your blood is drawn into a syringe with a small amount of anti-coagulant in it to keep the blood from clotting during this process. The amount of blood drawn is usually about 50 milliliters, but 100 milliliters may also be drawn depending on how much PRP is needed for the treatment. For comparison, there are 355 milliliters in a 12- ounce soda can.
Then the blood is transferred in a sterile fashion into a centrifuge tube and centrifuged for the first cycle. This cycle seperates the plasma from the blood cells.
In the second centrifuge cycle, the platelet-rich fraction of the remaining plasma is concentrated and placed in a syringe.
The skin at the injection site is numbed with a small needle and local anesthetic (buffered lidocaine). Your physician will then precisely inject the PRP into the injury site using ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.
Your provider will prescribe specific medicine to control any discomfort you may have after the procedure. Patients usually need very little or no medication.
Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Acetaminophen can be used for mild pain. Let us know if you have a history of opioid addiction so we can use appropriate pain medication.
Avoid showering for 1 day and avoid immersion in water for 3 days.
Any bandages can be removed after 1 day.
Depending on the part of the body treated, you may need a sling or crutches for 1 to 3 days. Do your best not to tense or load the treated area during this time.
After 3 days, unless otherwise instructed, the treated body part should be used and slowly moved through its full range of motion. It will be sore, but you will not be doing damage by moving it, in fact it needs to move to heal.
Exercise is vital to good health and finding a way to cross train around your injury is important not only for your physical health, but for your mental health as well.
Ten minutes or less period of heat or ice therapy will not hurt the therapy, but it is not required.
Depending on the initial injury, physical therapy is started 2 to 4 weeks after injection.
Improvements in pain and function should be expected 8 to 12 weeks after injection and some injuries may require more than one treatment.
