Accurate virus detection is important for diagnosis in a timely manner to facilitate rapid interventions and treatments. RNA viruses affect an extensive amount of the world's population, particularly in tropical countries where emerging infectious agents often arise. Current diagnostic methods have three main problems: they are time consuming, typically not field-portable, and expensive. My research goal is to develop rapid, field-portable and cost sensitive diagnostic methods for RNA viruses. Herein, two different approaches to detect RNA viruses were proposed: Conjugated gold nanoparticles for detection of viral particles or virus-specific antibodies by monitoring changes in their optical properties, and Tentacle Probes …

Semantic structures of world image as internal factors in the self-destructive behavior of today's teenagers.
This article presents the results of a theoretical and methodological analysis and empirical study of semantic formations in the structure of a world image as factors in teenagers' self-destructive behavior in contemporary Russian society. During the teenage years the value-semantic bases of a world image are being formed. A world image is the integral, multilevel representation of the subject, which consists of social reality and himself/herself; it exists in the mind as a unity of sensual fabrications, significations, and personalized meanings. Transformations of semantic components of a world image that are inadequate for the environment or that are externally and internally rigid can serve as preconditions for disadaptation and for one of its extreme forms—self-destructive behavior. The purpose of our empirical research was to determine the main characteristics of basic conceptual formations in the structure of a world image—that is, attitudes, intentions, motives, and values— that serve as predictors of disadaptation in modern teenagers. The teenagers in the study were born in different generations with a ten-year interval (1990–1991 and 2000–2001). Our empirical research of the semantic world-image structures that serve as bases for the self-destructive behavior of modern teenagers consisted of two phases. The first phase provided a comparative analysis of the relationships, value preferences, and basic conceptual intentions that raise the possibility of disadaptation and self-destructive behavior among teenagers. In order to perform this analysis, we analyzed data from the Character-Pathological Diagnostic Poll (PDP) of A. E. Lichko. During the second phase, a comparative analysis was carried out of the basic semantic components of teenagers' images of the world and self-destructive and normative behavior. The main conceptual world-image structures were defined with the help of projective methods: the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) and the modification for teenagers and youth (TAT-Y), which was developed by A. N. Alekhin and others. The main changes in the value-semantic orientations and personality dispositions of Russian teenagers in the late 20th to early 21st centuries were defined. The features of the semantic organization of these teenagers' world image as a precondition for disadaptive behavior were uncovered, and the personality preconditions for their self-destructive behavior were identified: their world image is fragmentary and self-contradictory; their personality features include cognitive distortions, a negative emotional state, ambivalence of motives and disposition, and disharmony with world-image semantic structures. The indicator for social disadaptation and behavioral deviation in modern Russian teenagers is evident deformation of personal relationships as the basic cognitive structure of their world image.

McKenzie had these flowers and card on our kitchen counter the morning of what would have been our 23rd Anniversary – She even spent her own money on everything. Obviously Bonnie's absence creates a sense of loss and sadness. While in the mix of those emotions rests the reality that this is not, 'the end'. In the mix of these feelings is the reminder that God has created us to be in relationships and to be in community. This year my heart was encouraged by the hope that is yet to come and from the stark reality of the relationships and blessings in my life. So in our continued journey I am reminded of God's faithfulness – which is revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and lived out by so many of the friends.

PARIS — Investigators and the families of those who were aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 now have what they have sought for more than a year — the first tangible trace of the vanished airplane.
There are "very strong presumptions" that the airplane part that washed ashore last week on the French island of Réunion in the western Indian Ocean came from the missing Boeing 777, an official said on Wednesday at a Paris news conference after experts inspected the object.
A few minutes before the news conference, Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia went further, declaring that the object definitely came from the plane, which disappeared in March 2014 with 239 people aboard.
A person involved in the investigation said, however, that experts from Boeing and the National Transportation Safety Board who had seen the object, a piece of what is known as a flaperon, were not yet fully satisfied, and called for further analysis.
Their doubts were based on a modification to the flaperon part that did not appear to exactly match what they would expect from airline maintenance records, according to the person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
French and Malaysian officials did not share the American hesitation, not least because no other Boeing 777 is unaccounted for.
"Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Réunion Island is indeed from MH370," Mr. Najib said in a televised statement broadcast in the early hours of Thursday in Malaysia.
At the news conference, Serge Mackowiak, the deputy Paris prosecutor, discussed what officials and experts from France, Malaysia, Australia and the United States had learned from examining the flaperon part in an aviation lab in Toulouse, France.
He said representatives from Boeing had confirmed that it came from a Boeing 777, based on its size, color, joint structure and other technical characteristics. He also said that "technical documentation" provided by Malaysia Airlines had enabled experts to establish "common technical characteristics" between the debris and Flight 370's flaperons.
Boeing said in a statement that its technicians were assisting in the analysis of the part, but declined to comment on the results of the examination.
The person involved in the investigation said no serial or other unique number had been found, making the job of conclusively identifying the object more complicated. The person also said that so far, no burn marks or other evidence of physical damage had been found that might provide clues to the circumstances in which the plane went down.
In any case, experts have cautioned that the discovery of the object is unlikely to tell investigators enough to determine exactly what happened to the plane.
On the night of March 8, 2014, while bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Flight 370 veered off its planned course less than an hour after takeoff and stopped communicating with ground controllers. Radar data and satellite signals show that it turned to fly west across the Malay Peninsula and then south over the Indian Ocean, where it is presumed to have run out of fuel and crashed in very deep water, killing everyone aboard.
How Missing Jet's Debris Could Have Floated to Réunion
This animation shows where floating debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 could have drifted if experts are correct about where the plane went down.
Months of extensive air and sea search efforts failed to find any trace of the aircraft in the sea. The authorities in Malaysia and Australia, which is leading the search, reacted cautiously after the discovery on Réunion.
After a year of searches and false leads, relatives of the passengers greeted the news with caution. State news media in China, where more than half the passengers were from, warned that even if the debris proved to have come from Flight 370, the body of the plane was still missing.
It has become increasingly clear that the object is a part of a Boeing 777 flaperon, a movable section of the wing that helps stabilize the plane while flying at low speeds and during takeoff and landing.
Réunion was thrust into the international spotlight after the discovery, prompting many to scour its beaches for more clues. No other debris has been confirmed as coming from the flight, though one other object, apparently remnants of a piece of luggage, was sent to France for examination. Mr. Mackowiak, the deputy prosecutor, said Wednesday that it had not yet been analyzed.
Experts warn that the complex movements of ocean currents and sea winds over so long a time would make it extremely difficult to trace the debris back to locate other wreckage.
Officials said the flaperon part found on Réunion, made from composite materials with a lightweight honeycomb interior, could float for months, unlike many other parts, which are most likely at the bottom of the ocean.
Australia is leading the underwater search for the plane, while the Malaysian authorities are conducting the broader investigation into the plane's disappearance. French prosecutors have begun an investigation of their own because there were four French citizens on the flight, and the flaperon part is being examined in France because it washed up on French territory.
Warren Truss, deputy prime minister of Australia, said in Sydney that the discovery did not change calculations of where to look for the plane. His country's national science agency has confirmed that material from the current search area could have been carried by currents to Réunion, thousands of miles west of the remote stretch of deep ocean where the plane is believed to have gone down, Mr. Truss said.
Material could also have reached "other locations, as part of a progressive dispersal of floating debris through the action of ocean currents and wind," Mr. Truss said in the statement, which was issued hours before the announcement about the examination of the wing part.
"For this reason, thorough and methodical search efforts will continue to be focused on the defined underwater search area, covering 120,000 square kilometers, in the southern Indian Ocean," Mr. Truss said. That area, equivalent to about 46,000 square miles, was expanded in April by the authorities.
By Wednesday afternoon, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said that about half the search area had been combed, and that there would be a short break while the two search vessels returned to port for supplies.
In Beijing, relatives of the victims responded to Mr. Najib's announcement with skepticism or outright disbelief. About 20 of them gathered outside the building in the eastern part of the city where Malaysia Airlines has its offices, demanding to talk to airline representatives and to fly to Réunion. More than 150 of the 239 passengers and crew members aboard the plane were Chinese nationals.
Some of the relatives held signs with slogans such as "Malaysia hides the truth" and "Malaysia, we want the truth, not compensation." More than two dozen police officers barred them from entering the building.
"This is a lie," said Dai Shuqin, whose sister was aboard the aircraft. "Relatives are alive somewhere. Why did the Malaysian prime minister make his announcement before the French experts? Why? This is not an accident but an artificial move. I refuse to believe it."
Other relatives were more sanguine, but still expressed skepticism and demanded more information. Wen Wancheng, 63, whose son was on the aircraft, said finding one wing part did not resolve the mystery of what happened to the plane and why it strayed off course. "The sort of closure the families want," he said in a telephone interview, "is to know what exactly happened to the plane and have the bodies returned."

Jennifer Lawrence looks uber-hot on the cover of Flare magazine wearing a gorgeous and colorful Gucci outfit and talks about her life as well as her take on dieting. Find out the details next!
This Hollywood babe, Jennifer Lawrence seems to have a bright
future ahead as she is not only staring in the upcoming 'X-Men:
First Class' movie but she also snatched another role, as Katniss
Everdeen in 'The Hunger Games'. At the age of 20, Jennifer Lawrence
shares her experience with stardom as she covers Flare magazine's
June 2011 issue wearing th emost coveted Gucci dress of the season.
Jennifer Lawrence, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Winter's Bone, shares her experience with everyone and talks about dieting and her life. Apparently, this drop-dead gorgeous southern gal never saw her success coming, and says being considered a sex-symbol is kind of weird, but not bad.
In her exclusive interview with Flare, Jennifer Lawrence says
she was a tomboy an used to play with boys as a child, as she was a
bit too rough to play with girls. She might have been a tomboy, but
she has now become incredibly feminine and sensual as her photo
session reveals. Jennifer has become a sex symbol, and many women
have turned towards her for inspiration.
As far as her gorgeous body goes, Jennifer states she's not into that stick-thin figure that Hollywood seems to promote. According to her statement, she's quite happy with the way she looks and would prefer to show a little bit of curve rather than looking too skinny. She says:
"I'm miserable when I'm dieting and I like the way I look. I'm really sick of all these actresses looking like birds,"
"I'd rather look a little chubby on camera and look like a person in real life, than to look great onscreen and look like a scarecrow in real life."
As far as her success goes, Jennifer never pictured herself to be where she is now 10 years ago, so she doesn't know what's ahead for her, but we predict a bright future. Jenn has yet to adjust to her life as a celebrity as she says:
"I went to the Vanity Fair party for a cool 15 minutes. And then I took off. I'm like a little old lady. I'm always tired around midnight…I mean it was cool to see Elton John, and I met Billy Crystal, which was amazing, but yeah, I'm mostly just kind of uncomfortable."
Check out Jennifer Lawrence's full interview in Flare which hits the news-stands on May 16th.

MFOOT to play pre-season game vs ConcordiaAugust 17, 2017
MONTREAL, Que (August 17, 2017)- The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men's football team is hitting the road for a pre-season tune up against the Concordia Stingers on Friday afternoon.
On Friday afternoon the defending Yates Cup champion Hawks will take on the Concordia Stingers at Concordia Stadium in Montreal in an exhibition tilt.
In 2016 the Golden Hawks finished the regular season 7-1 — the team's best record since 2007 — before beating McMaster and Western on their way to the eighth Yates Cup title in team history. The purple and gold would have their season ended in the Uteck Bowl by the eventual Vanier Cup champion Laval Rouge et Or.
The Stingers, meanwhile, are coming off a 2016 season that saw them finish tied for third in the RSEQ standings with a 4-4 record. Like the Hawks, the Stingers also had their campaign ended at the hands of the Rouge et Or, falling in the provincial semifinal.
"We're excited our team is once again playing an out of conference game against a quality opponent like Concordia," said Laurier head coach Michael Faulds, last year's OUA and U SPORTS coach of the year. "Coach Mickey Donovan has done a great job with that team and they will be a very tough challenge for us."
The Golden Hawks lost a number of key contributors from last year's provincial championship squad to graduation and the CFL, however Faulds and the Laurier coaching staff are excited by a core of players who return with another year of experience under their belts.
On offence for the Hawks, quarterback Michael Knevel (Brantford, Ont.) enters his first full season as starter after emerging as the No. 1 pivot in Week 3 last year. Knevel will have no shortage of options in the passing game as the Hawks return an explosive receiving corps led by Kurleigh Gittens Jr. (Ottawa, Ont.), Brentyn Hall (Toronto, Ont.) and Carson Ouellette (Windsor, Ont.).
On the ground, the Hawks are coming off a season that saw them lead the country in rushing yards, averaging 281.4 per game, while scoring 21 rushing touchdowns, good for second in the country. This season a deep, talented stable of running backs will be led a thunder-and-lightning backfield of third years Levondre Gordon (Mississauga, Ont.) and Osayi Iginuan (Hamilton, Ont.). In the trenches, the Golden Hawks return three starters — Edward Cadougan (Scarborough, Ont.), Chris Reddy (Kitchener, Ont.) and Drew Mairleitner (London, Ont.) — on an offensive line that not only opened up holes for the nation's top running game but also allowed just eight sacks all season.
On defence, the Golden Hawks saw Nakas Onyeka (Brampton, Ont.), last year's President's Award winner as the OUA's top stand-up defensive player, and Kwaku Boateng (Milton, Ont.), the 2015 J.P Metras Award winner as the OUA's top lineman, move on to the CFL with the Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos, respectively.
But with a number of key contributors returning, the Hawks, led by defensive coordinator and associate head coach Ron VanMoerkerke, look primed to once again be one of the top defensive units in U SPORTS.
Jalen Price (Hamilton, Ont.), a 2015 first-team OUA all-star, returns on the defensive line, along with fourth year Rashari Henry (Ottawa, Ont.) and third years Robbie Smith (Brampton, Ont.) and Trevaughan James (Whitby, Ont.), while fifth year Brandon Calver (London, Ont.) anchors a deep group at linebacker.
Last season, Laurier's 16 interceptions tied them for second most in the country and the defensive backfield should once again be a strength. Godfrey Onyeka, a first-team All-Canadian in 2015 and 2016 returns at cornerback, while the talented, veteran unit is rounded out by the likes of Scott Hutter (London, Ont.), Ron Kinga (Guelph, Ont.), Isaiah Guzylak-Messam (Hamilton, Ont.) and Taylor Calverly (Pottageville, Ont.).
Nathan Mesher (Waterloo, Ont.), who calmly went 5/5 on field goals in last year's Yates Cup including the game winner, returns in the kicking game.
The Stingers, meanwhile, had the top passing offence in the Quebec conference last year, averaging over 300 yards per game.
Leading the way in that high-octane air attack was quarterback Trenton Miller, the 2015 RSEQ MVP, who finished second in the nation in touchdown passes last year. Miller was able to spread the ball around to a talented receiving corps led by Vincent Alessandrini (2016 RSEQ offensive rookie of the year), Justin Julien and Yanic Lessard.
This is the third-straight year the Golden Hawks have left the province for a pre-season game. In 2015, the team travelled to Saskatoon where they fell 33-10 to the Saskatchewan Huskies while last season they visited the Montreal Carabins, losing a tight 37-33 game.
"Preseason games really help to break-up training camp," said Faulds. "We are constantly competing Laurier vs. Laurier and any time you can go against a different colour jersey the competitive juices really start to flow."
Laurier and Concordia have played seven previous games, with Laurier winning all but one. The last meeting between the two came in 1974, a 21-10 Golden Hawks win.
Game time at Concordia is 2 p.m.
The Golden Hawks will open their regular season Sunday, Aug. 27 at home against the University of Toronto Varsity Blues. Kickoff for the 2017 home opener is 1 p.m. at University Stadium.

MFOOT Coaches Series: Ron VanmoerkerkeAugust 17, 2017
WATERLOO, Ont. (August 10, 2017)- David Grossman, veteran award-winning journalst, takes us inside the mind of Laurier football's Defensive Coordinator, Ron Vanmoerkerke.
Once a very shy kid, who grew up on a farm in southwestern Ontario, Ron Van Moerkerke is the same individual who is well known for having a remarkable and powerful impact on people.
Van Moerkerke is not in the business of self-gratitude. In fact, it's quite the contrary.
When he's not teaching geography to youngsters in the Waterloo Region District School Board, Van Moerkerke's classroom becomes the football field at Wilfrid Laurier University – a place where he uses his strong skills and wisdom as Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator for the Golden Hawks football team.
To gain some perspective on his very effective way of communicating, whether it's right from wrong or shutting down opposing teams, is to watch him in action – be it on the gridiron, in a class or through a conversation in a corridor.
A high-spirited, confident and jovial kind of individual, Van Moerkerke also possesses the amazing ability to clearly and effectively convey his message.
"I have a specific role at Laurier – and it's to deal with the players who come to me for advice, energy and looking to get better at what they do," he said. "I always make sure the players know that I care about them and that it carries over to things that are work and school-related."
A Provincial Volunteer Coaching award winner and also the longest-serving defensive coordinator in Ontario university football, Van Moerkerke has earned the respect of his peers. His award is the reward he gets from seeing players learn, adapt and carry out their roles.
"I hope what people see in me is a mentorship of sorts, shown from a teaching and love of the (football)," said the native of Tillsonburg and member of that community's Sports Hall of Fame.
Always cool and in control, Van Moerkerke has an insatiable demand on his players.
"Sport is a great transforming agency – one that will have an effect on an individual's life," he said. "Winning comes every day, and not just in football. I see my job as making sure young people are in a position to understand things - and then make plays."
His interest in football may have come back in Grade 10 while watching his older brother play the game. Then, when Van Moerkerke had enough watching and chose to play in high school, he had to deal with another challenge: his mother refusing to watch for fear that he might get hurt.
In 1989, Van Moerkerke achieved another milestone when he was chosen the Most Valuable Player on Tillsonburg High School's team and also a league all-star. He would take football another step, after graduation it was on to study, and play, at Laurier.
"I have been involved with football for a long time and continue to admire the creativity and ingenuity that teams use to try score," said Van Moerkereke, tasked with the key job of stopping offensive squads from piling up points on Laurier. "Every year, it gets more complex and it makes things harder – but it's a challenge that I am waiting for."
While Van Moerkerke sets high expectations for himself, he can also spot progress in players.
"At Laurier, we all try our hardest to learn," he said. "We're not always perfect. Some times there are failures and they are addressed. I have made mistakes and I am accountable for them, and players are also accountable. There is also lots of trust and people who know me, know I refuse to quit helping youngsters reach their goals."
MBASK coach Serresse adds eight for 2017-18August 16, 2017
WATERLOO, Ont. (August 16, 2017)- Head Coach Justin Serresse of the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men's basketball team has added eight new faces to their roster for the 2017-18 season.
Going on his second season with the purple and gold, Head Coach Justin Serresse has brought in six forwards and two guards to join a group that finished second in the West, with a 9-11 record on the regular season. These new additions include Ben Stevens, Ali Sow, Kemel Archer, Jack Demaree, Goran Veselinovic, Jordan Kenning, Vincent Carriere and Adnan Begovic.
Leading the roster is Stevens, a fiery power forward from Halifax, N.S., who stands at 6-8 and weighs 200 lbs. Stevens had a successful season with the club team B-East Coach, winning the 2016 U17 National Champions.
"After being highly recruited by many USPORTS teams, we are excited that Ben has committed to be a Golden Hawk" said Serresse. "Ben will bring size and athleticism to the power forward position, something we did not have last season. We are confident that he will have a great impact on our team".
Sow, a 6-1, 185lbs. point guard, will be joining Laurier from his former team Ottawa Next Level in Ottawa, Ont. Sow achieved outstanding statistics from the championship game at the St-Laurent Express Tournament Championship that generated much buzz in the basketball community. By obtaining 32 points, four rebounds and four assists Sow pushed the team to finish first place in the Juvenile division.
Serresse, who has previously coached Sow for two years in Ottawa, reflected on Sow as a "natural shooter who is always able to finish the job at the rim". Serresee further commented, "Ali will be able to play both the scoring guard and the point guard which will keep Kokko fresh for games. He will have a significant impact in his first season".
Prior to his university career, Kemel Archer played for Canadore College where he almost averaged a double-double and received the award for the Most Improved Player last season. Weighing in at 200lbs. and standing 6-5 tall, this Brampton, Ont. native will be extremely complimentary to the team roster.
"Kemel is an outstanding athlete" stated Serresse. "The coaching staff is confident that he will be able to contribute right away on and off the court as he already demonstrated great work ethic during the summer".
Jack Demaree hails from Tillsonburg, Ont. where he played for the club team London CYO. Standing at 6-6 and weighing in at 180lbs., this player will be a great addition to the team similar to his father who also played for Laurier's basketball team in the 80's.
Serresse reflected on his plans for Demaree stating, "We would like to develop Jack as a great two-way wing player since he already has unbelievable bounce and 3pt shots. We think he will surprise a lot of people in years to come".
From Hamilton, Ont. Laurier also is adding Goran Veselinovic, who weighs in at 190lbs. and stands at 6-3. During his time on the court, he was able to win two Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conferences Championships.
Reflecting on the time he coached against Veselinovic's previous team, Serresse stated "Goran is a scrappy wing player who has the ability to get really hot shots from the 3pt line. He is a very smart player that is willing to do anything in order for his team to win the game, I think he will bring great intensity in practice and in games".
Standing at a staggering 6-10 and weighing in at 220lbs., Laurier added Kenning from Kitchener, Ont. to the roster. From reviewing his time playing for his prior team the Waterloo Wolverines, this power forward is bound to make an impact on the court.
Serresse refers to Kenning as a "hardworking athlete that will greatly contribute to the team".
Vincent Carriere, from London, Ont., is another player the team was lucky to recruit. Previously playing for Southwest Academy and the London Ramblers, the 6-1, 175lbs. guard that will positively diversify the team.
"Vincent is another scrappy guard that will bring a great work ethic and IQ to the team" stated Serresse.
Power forward Adnan Begovic from Mississauga, Ont. was the final recruit for the 2017-18 season. Weighing 208lbs. and standing at 6-7, the former Lincoln Prep player will be a great addition to the team.
Serresse commented on the player's ability stating "Adnan will bring a great shot to our power forward position. His height will act as a great asset inside that will mix well with other athletes on the court".
Every player that has been recruited will have the opportunity to show their abilities to Serresse at the team's next exhibition game against Laval on September 28th. The game is set for an 8:00p.m. start at the Laurier Athletic Complex.

"Dineke just started the young stock course by @CowSignals and @NZOZuivel. Going ahead with some improvements right away"
Thanks to the Dutch organization Duurzame Zuivelketen - 'sustainable dairy chain' - Dutch dairy farmers can subscrive to the online training YoungStock Signals for a small fee.
Subscribtion has been open for two months now and several farmers had a dynamic start. Farmers Jan, Dineke, Bennie and Wilma tell us what they think of the course.
Why did you subscribe to the course?
"You should leave no stone unturned to optimize calf rearing".
The farmers have different reasons to subcscribe to the course. Jan says: "You should leave no stone unturned to optimize calf rearing. After the first calving there is little to be done in the development of a quality dairy cow. Correcting at a later age has less effect than addressing bottlenecks at the start". Other farmers mention that calf rearing is already going well on their farm, but that they're always interested in learning what can be done to improve even more. Dineke also says: "It's easily accessible and you can do it in your own time. Ideal!"
What do you think of the course so far?
"There's a lot that you already know about, but now they also tell you how to carry it out in practise ".
Farmers call the course clear, fun and educational. Dineke especially likes the part about colostrum. "There's a lot that you already know about, but now they also tell you how to carry it out in practise ". Jan talks about the practical examples and the theoretical background. "There's a global idea of what calving should look like, but put a few farmers together and you'll have three different approaches. The videos show us, also based on research, a pretty elaborate approach. That might take a bit more work, but if it will prevent pneumonia and dhiarrhea, I know that farmer will be prepared to take these extra steps. I don't believe farmers don't want an optimal result, I believe there is just a lack of information".
How do you watch the course?
Most farmers watch the course alone. Dineke says: "Only when I find something very interesting, I have my partner watch with me". The course is watched on a computer or laptop, for example just after lunch or at sunday morning. Jan tells us he makes notes, which he uses for example to set the drinking machine.
Extra straw yard for calves till 6 months to prevent the growth dip.
What changes made the course happen so far?
"The first calf looks extremely well according to the dealer"
Bennie has purchased a minimelker as a result of the course, to milk the cows for the first time in the calving yard or the pasture. Dineke and Geert made a straw yard, so the calves can stay on the slats and the straw for the first half year. Dineke also mentions: "We're trying to optimize colostrum supply. I've also started to feed the calves more. The result is more money for the bull calves, so that pays off". Jan says: "For me it resultated in a standard procedure around calving. Now the cows goes, if she's well, directly into the milking yard. The calf will be on a wheelbarrow right in front of her, so she can still reach her. There will be some feed on the calf, so the cow can let the colostrum down easily and without stress. The colostrum will go into the calf immediately. The first bull calf that we did this with looks extremely well according to the dealer. Of course this is not just the new procedure, but it is good to see a healthy and active animal". Jan also placed some wind deflectors and he'll be putting an old fridge in the barn for storing colostrum. Wilma does the same: "Now I give them the first colostrum untill it is all gone. Earlier I would be quicker to pick up the second colostrum, because that is still warm. We also bought a fridge for in the barn".
About YoungStock Signals
Sustainable dairy chain is a coöperation between dairy processors and dairy farmers. They made the online course YoungStock Signals available for 1.000 Dutch farmer for a small fee of € 29 (cost price: € 300). Half of the available places have been taken. Interested farmers can subscibe here with a dutch UBN-number and tank number.

"He won't give it to me." I explained to the receptionist for the fourth time. She was just doing her job, trying to get insurance information so my son could be treated. I grew increasingly frustrated as I texted my ex yet again. Every time I asked for insurance information, he refused. Finally, I suggested he call the immediate care center so they could at least have the information.
The receptionist suggested I ask him. She said it matter-of-factly, and I did in fact know that normal people, divorced or not, would not be so petty as to withhold that information. She just couldn't quite believe it. Like I was making it up, being dramatic, you know how women are.
Did you know it costs three hundred dollars to compel your ex to hand over insurance cards? Insurance he decided to change without telling me, even though I am paying for half of it.
He of course blamed me. In a predictably contemptuous email, he said, "well, this is the first time you've been interested in the children's insurance." No, normal people would understand that if you make an agreement to pay for insurance, and then renege on that agreement, and then legally require your ex to pay half, that you would bear responsibility in making that happen. No adult should have to babysit you while you don't keep your agreements but unfortunately, that is the fucktard way.
A couple of years after our divorce, he made an issue of not getting the kids vaccinated. We had agreed to do further research and hold off while we were married. But in the divorce, he forced the issue and filed a motion to compel the children's vaccination, to make me look bad. Then, when I went to the pediatrician we'd been going to for years to get a record, they refused to give me any information about my children's care or allow me to make medical decisions. My ex had dated the pediatrician, so I'm sure he painted me out to be the crazy ex. They acted positively hostile towards me.
They didn't believe me that I had rights as my children's mother. They didn't believe me.
People will have these reactions. They will either not believe it is possible an ex husband could be so petty and cruel, or they won't believe that you could be so sane and credible.
I Googled "women who weren't believed" and as it turns out, I'm not the only one. check out this list of results that includes a black ob-gyn who was prevented from giving timely care in an emergency to a person on a plane because she was not believed. My judge didn't believe me. My mom didn't believe me. My dad wasn't around to believe me.
What to do when you are unfairly accused? When narcissist-sized lies are spread about you? When you are marginalized because of those lies and the smear campaigns? What do you do when a lot of it is cultural, and we hold these narratives about crazy and vindictive women we want to believe? What to do with social retaliation for his crimes?
Just learn. I get so triggered by not being believed. It goes back to my childhood: not seen, not heard, not important. Yes, it is unfair and I can do what I can to address it. Go to court to get insurance cards. Go back to the pediatrician and give them ten pages of the order that proves I am able to make decisions. Write a letter to my ex in-laws, standing up for myself. Let them have their hatred and misunderstanding.
And then inwardly hold my little child who needs so badly for me to validate her, who gets so sad at the unfairness of it all, and my teen who wants to rail and crusade against injustice. This is good anger to have, and I can only do what I can do, which is heal, go to the spaces deep inside me that are hurt and love them.

What's In An Image?
What's In An Image?
January 18, 2017
Images have the ability to create impressions of all kinds. Seeing is believing, couldn't be more true. Without saying a word, an image builds a story or general impression in our mind. In our wonderful digital age, we are more in control of this than ever before. This is an extremely valuable tool.
With high-resolution digital cameras combined with traditional controls and filters, we can create high-quality imagery right from the camera. Compound this capability with the manipulations photo editing programs, and the capabilities are truly endless.
Photographs and graphics have shaped the way we perceive things, take in information, and evoke strong feelings to what we are seeing. This is why imagery is an integral part of representing ourselves in business. With images, we can shape the very first impression that potential clients get.

Write or to Type?
Write or to Type?
January 8, 2017
This morning I had to get my oil changed. I had been brainstorming possible writing materials while sitting in the mechanic's waiting room. After making a page of notes with things that might make a good article eureka a truly novel thought came to mind. Something I would have normally considered myself completely unprepared to do which was to write an entire article while waiting for my vehicle to be serviced. The article needed to be highly relevant so I capitalized on the situation I found myself in being no word processor heck no computer.
See about the time I was transitioning from elementary school to middle school the computer and the internet had spread from the classroom and office into the home. Which gave me a second to reflect on everything of substance I have ever written. With the exception of my childhood pen pal, everything I had ever written academically and professionally has taken place in front of a computer screen with a keyboard. I had never written anything out by hand in its entire length and then transcribed it using the computer. The thought kind of blew my mind for a moment and I wondered what it must have been like before computers. People had to handwrite their first draft then use the typewriter to finish the job because they couldn't just press the delete key.
So there I was like the typewriting forefathers sitting in the mechanic's waiting room more determined than ever to handwrite this article to completion before even thinking about sitting down at the computer. Then I would come back transcribe and improve upon this written draft but only after I had completed the entire article.
I instantly felt like the computer had been limiting or at the very least intimidating me into feeling like I had to be productive. This need to be productive while sitting at the desk in front of the computer may have even been causing me to over-think my writing. I began to feel completely uninhibited as I scratched out line after line. With immediacy, my thoughts became transcribed. Not exactly the stream of conscious writing of Woolf or Faulkner but this was certainly a liberating experience.
How can using paper and pen for our formal writing needs before typing them out in our day to day work be beneficial? To answer that I thought about what kinds of writing stationery is on my desk and is probably typical of most offices. I use a legal pad for taking notes during meetings and a shrunken version for making to-do lists or notes from phone calls. The occasional post it notes dangling off the side of the side of the computer screen. Even these though have been replaced by applications for the computer and phone, but I still find checking things off a to-do list gratifying in a way that an application can't seem to replace.
Handwriting vs. typing is not a new concept entirely Pam A. Mueller of Princeton University and Daniel M. Oppenheimer of the University of California, Los Angeles did a study to determine something of this nature. What they did was divide test subjects' half with computers and half with pen and paper and presented a lecture for the students to take notes. What resulted is that the half that used the computer took way more notes than those who were handwriting.
Presumably, this is because typing is faster than handwriting which I can attest to while writing this article. Interestingly though the group with computers even though they took way more notes performed far worse than those who had handwritten their notes when asked to recall facts from the presentation.*
That's nice if we are only taking notes, but professionals are responsible for being productive and original. So back to how writing formal correspondence and other reports out by hand before typing them can improve productivity and efficiency. Well if we can derive from this study that we learn better by handwriting things maybe we also write better by hand than when we type. This maybe a bit speculative but computers and technology itself does interrupt our writing process. Options that improve our writing like spell check or worse auto correct that often needs to be corrected interrupts our train of thought while we are writing. Incoming emails, reminders, calendar invites, music apps, and social media steal our attention while using the computer.
My suggestion is to take writing tasks especially the most important ones with looming deadlines and hand write the first draft with the computer asleep. I'm certainly not advocating for and completely unwilling to give up using my computer for the bulk of my writing tasks. However, I have learned that by reducing distractions that the computer creates my thoughts become clearer and the quality of my writing was more focused.
The overall benefits were increased focus on the writing task which boosted my originality. Also, I did find that the efficiency also increased because there were fewer mistakes in my writing. Mistakes are an inevitability in our writing we are only human and as such are far from perfect. By handwriting important projects, I'm speeding up the time it takes to put thoughts immediately to paper and by typing them later I'm giving my work an extra proofreading. This proofreading is the point where you can crank the music app and welcome spell check. In short, you can up the quality of your writing and improve efficiency even if you lose a bit of time by typing the work second.

Power Of Persuasion
Power Of Persuasion
January 19, 2017
Persuasive writing is the primary style that writers default to when we are promoting products, businesses, and ideas. We get comfortable with persuasive writing in college when we are responsible for producing academic writing. Academic writing and marketing both have persuasion at their core. In fact, the jump from formulating arguments that support a thesis to promoting a product or an idea is somewhat natural.
Persuasive writing is valuable for traditional marketing. The type of marketing where you pitch a product, business, or idea. Persuasion, however, is only half the equation in today's markets. Consumers are getting ever more savvy with their spending and where they choose to patronage is more than convenience. Ask any retail clerk or service technician, and they can give you a story where they assisted a would-be customer spent all sorts of time getting their service. Instead of making the purchase after being catered to the potential customer whips out a cell phone scans the UPC and walks out or searches the classifieds for your competitor.
Persuasion and customer service together are no longer the complete package. Today's consumers are no longer satisfied with a great product or service alone. What are they looking for? The answer is something for nothing. Giving consumers the feeling and connection that comes from an added bonus that something for nothing aspect rounds out a great sales strategy. You know that thing that sweetens the deal.
How to give consumers something for nothing is easy. The feeling is what they are after because even the customer that scans the UPC symbol probably knows they aren't saving any money. The reality is they make the purchase online feeling like they are getting a deal of 15% off, but they are more than likely purchasing last year's model and their savings is going to be lost in the cost of shipping.
What can I give consumers for free since most manufactures won't allow you to discount this year's products? The answer is information. Hosting a blog that features relatable content with your business, products, and community not only increases web traffic and brand recognition it provides the consumer with something for nothing. Don't just sell a pair of hiking boots show them the local trail. Why limit yourself to installing a new HVAC system? Provide clients with knowledge and understanding that gives them confidence in your capabilities.

What Type Of Marketing Strategy Should I Have?
What Type Of Marketing Strategy Should I Have?
February 9, 2017
Probably the most confusing and perhaps misunderstood aspect of marketing is where to begin and how much is enough. This is because there's no one size fits all marketing solution. Even similar business models cannot rely on the same types of marketing techniques. The reason for this is that marketing is about the company's size, current business climate, and of course the companies mission.
The reality is with few exceptions there should always be an effort to market your business. Marketing is a never-ending task that is constantly in need of fresh ideas and creative influences. Aside from providing excellent customer service and quality products establishing your brand and that brand's recognition is paramount.
The size of the company is a great way of determining the scale of marketing. This, in turn, helps determine the cost or budget allocation for the purpose of marketing. Having the money or a budget is essential to determining how much you can accomplish with your marketing and what things you should prioritize.
Business climate varies dramatically and is probably what makes marketing strategies so diverse. Being open with your marketing partner about the status of your business climate is essential in the development of a successful marketing strategy. When sales are great marketing strategies should seek out growing to larger markets and attracting new clients. When sales are in a slump not only should marketing be aimed at capturing new clients solidifying the existing client base is equally important.
The company's mission or industry is also a big factor in determining the marketing strategy that best fits a company. There is going to be some crossover in the options a company is presented, but the marketing target for donors at a non-profit is certainly different than securing customers for a plumbing business.
The main thing you should feel when you sit down with a marketing firm is that they are asking questions that make you feel that they are getting to know your individual business needs. Secondary to that, you should get the general impression that their proposals are a unique custom approach to your business.

Is A Logo Essential?
Is A Logo Essential?
February 9, 2017
This is a question that people in marketing regularly hear from both current and prospective clients. Is a logo essential to my business and its marketing plan? The answer is ABSOLUTELY! Marketing firms are not simply trying to sell you their latest graphic design. Having an image associated with your company is a cornerstone priority for establishing and maintaining brand recognition.
Most people are familiar with the idea that some people learn better through reading information and others are visual and spatial learners. The reality, however, is that somewhere around 90% of information reception in the human brain is derived from the visual world. Because of this, we process information much faster when we see it rather than hear or read it.
I like to think of the logo as being the jingle of the visual marketing world. When you hear an advertisement on the radio, the promotion and company name seem to get lost without that catchy jingle or tune that goes along with the message. This is true with print marketing without the catchy logo's and imagery the content including the business name can quickly become a short and distant memory.

Why Have A Marketing Firm?
Why Have A Marketing Firm?
February 15, 2017
Content creation and management are where marketing firms shine. It's the artistic side of a business and one of the most challenging aspects of creating and promoting your brand. Your marketing partner should be eager to relieve you of this burden. They should understand that you already are losing sleep over managing your company and the associated risks of owning your own business.
On top of the difficulties and challenges of running your own business, the reality of trying to create innovative content for your marketing needs doesn't come naturally to everyone. Writing, Designing, and maintaining a complete portfolio for your business isn't just about hard work. Something no business owner lacks familiarity with is long hours and the effort to succeed. The key is also in the art of creating art which is just as much talent as it is hard work.
Having a great marketing partner includes the exceptional talent for creating excellent content but should also be intuitive and convenient. This is the while package for optimal return on investment. Talented work, intuitive information, and convenience will ultimately expand a business brand recognition, and hopefully, it's a market share but should also be convenient to the client.
Convenience is more than just doing the job its managing a company's image not just creating the company's image. The Write Connection LLC stores its designs for its clients allowing quick modification and redistribution. Your business adapts, changes, and shifts to bests meet the needs of the customer. As your business evolves so should the content and mission of your marketing partner.

The civic body has already issued tenders inviting bids from developers. The deadline for both the projects has been set at 36 months.
"While the actual length will be finalised later, these towers will be at least 28-30 storey buildings. As per the new master plan regulations, the buildings will also be able to have three ground floors dedicated as commercial spaces. An underground multilevel parking will also be built" said a senior corporation official.
While the municipal staff colony in Azadpur is located over 90,000sq metres of prime land, the quarters in Model Town are spread over 9,200 sq metres. "Through these projects we will not only be able to provide more amenities to the citizens but will also create a steady revenue stream for the corporation, which is facing severe financial crisis," added the official.
As per the plan, the current inhabitants of the staff quarters would be relocated until the towers are developed. "We are not expecting to face any resistance. Employees will be given their housing allowance and some of them will be adjusted at other locations," the official explained.

One night, while in the RV working on SETT, Todd suggested a trip to Alaska. I said I'd be interested in it, forgetting that in our group of friends, this low level of commitment basically always results in a trip happening. A couple weeks later I bought a really decked out 2001 KLR 650 motorcycle specifically to drive from San Francisco to Alaska, bought a knife, and stopped shaving my beard. That was about all I could think of doing to prepare for the trip.
Our departure date came a month later, and five of us met in downtown San Francisco with our bikes ready to go. Without much fanfare, we headed North, towards Canada.
By the time we stopped for gas for the first time, I had decided to turn back. At the high speeds we prefer to travel at, my bike was a little bit wobbly, probably due to the knobby tires and panniers. This could be fixed with a $100 fork brace, but there was nowhere to buy one and no time to ship it. Beyond that, though, I realized that I don't really enjoy long distance motorcycle trips. You can't talk to anyone, your seat is about as comfortable as a bar stool, you can't have snacks or water, and you can't change the music or podcasts on your ipod. Besides that, I wasn't feeling great about the sharply reduced hours that I'd be able to work on SETT. So I turned back.
Initially after turning back, I didn't plan on going to Alaska at all, but I had already bought my return ticket from Anchorage, so the cost of flying up for a few days was cut in half. I called around a couple motorcycle rental shops, and Nancy from Alaska Motorcycle Adventures offered me a great deal on a BMW, along with a really great route that she suggested. I bought my one-way plane ticket minutes later.
Over the next ten days, while my friends pushed forward on the road towards Alaska, I got a lot of good work done, won a bunch of money in poker, and managed to sell my KLR. Christophe, who had to turn back at the Canadian border due to his ongoing immigration process, and I flew to Vegas for a couple days, and then from there to Alaska to join our friends.
We had anticipated that they would get to Alaska before us, but a high speed spill on gravel, broken petcock, and a few other minor problems delayed them so that their arrival perfectly coincided with ours. On July 17th, we met in Anchorage, ready to do an 800 mile three-day tour of Alaskan wilderness.
Our first stop was Cantwell, Alaska, a tiny town outside of Denali national park. On the way up we stopped a bunch of times for pictures, and had an amazing view of Denali (photo at the top of this post), which is the third highest mountain in the world, and the tallest when measured base-to-peak. Apparently it's almost always too cloudy to see it, but we got lucky and had beautiful weather. In fact, it was always sunny while we were riding, the three days of sun amidst a really rainy summer.
The first small disaster I witnessed was Todd's. He decided to take an ATV trail next to the road to avoid traffic, and he decided to take it fast. Wiithin about a hundred feet he fell off the high side of his bike. His F800gs is decked out with crash bars, so it was unscathed, as was he. Shortly after that, Aaron's bike died. Todd stayed back with him to help fix it, but they never figured out what was wrong with it. Christophe, Anderson, and I pressed on, only to have Anderson's chain fall off half an hour later and get caught up next to the sprocket. We pulled over and were quite proud of ourselves when we managed to dislodge it and reattach it with the correct tension.
These delays meant that we arrived at Cantwell around midnight. We hadn't made any sort of reservation, and hadn't really considered that it would be hard to find a place to sleep so late. The fact that it's sunny 24 hours a day tricks your brain into never believing that it's later than seven pm. Cantwell has four small inns. The first said it was open, but it was locked and the phone number on the door went to voicemail. The next was totally closed with no lights on. The third door we knocked on was answered by a really friendly lady who said that she was fully booked, but would have liked to rent us a cabin. At this point, with only one inn left, and not enough gas to get to the next city, I was preparing myself for the worst. I found a woodshed that I was thinking about sleeping in. I would get a bunch of brush from the side of the road to make a bed and sleep in all of my clothes, I thought.
The fourth door was also locked and had no signs of life. Woodshed time. As we were about to leave, Christophe noticed a hand drawn sign that showed the location of the "new office". We knocked on that door, which was answered by a really friendly man who looked somewhat homeless. He quoted us a price 25% higher than it said on the sign, and we gladly agreed to pay it. We were freezing and exhausted, and all privately agreed that we would have paid about four times the asking price.
Todd, after helping Aaron for a few hours, had split off and drove extremely fast to catch up with us. Around 1am he found our room and set up his air mattress on the floor.
The next day was probably the best motorcycle ride of my life. We took the Denali highway east to Paxson. The Denali highway is about 110 miles of rough gravel road. You can't go much faster than sixty without it being scary, and even at that speed you have to become accustomed to your bike drifting around. When the gravel gets really deep, you have to slow down to forty. The views from the road were nothing short of breathtaking, ranging from tall pine forests to open plains dotted with lakes and fenced in by tall mountain ranges. At once point I was riding in front and had lost my friends (it turned out they stopped to take photos), so I pulled over, left my bike near the road as a marker, and hiked towards the mountains a bit. I was struck by just how silent it was there, dozens of miles from even medium sized roads and hundreds from major roads. I remember thinking that I'd probably be happy to sit on a rock there for five or six hours and just enjoy the view and the fresh air.
We continued on with no real issues, surprising considering the twisty gravel roads. We arrived at Tangle River Inn, which was specifically recommended by Nancy, the motorcycle rental lady. The Inn was small and basic, but perched on top of a hill overlooking a beautiful lake. At dinner all four of us sat on the same side of the table because none of us wanted to miss the view. The food was basic and average, with the exception of the grilled salmon, which was very good.
The next day was the first day that we actually woke up early and were ready to go around 9:30. My server had gone down the night before (the one time I don't have good internet access), but I managed to fix it before we left. From Paxson we rode up Isabell pass, which was particularly scenic. We stopped to take pictures a few times and got to see the trans-Alaska pipeline, which we somehow forgot to photograph entirely. From Isabell pass we headed South on a four hour ride back to Anchorage.
On the way, we stopped at Matanuska glacier (which isn't actually in Matanuska, for those of you who try to go there). Matanuska glacier is the largest road-accessible glacier in the world. I'd been particularly eager to see a glacier ever since we tried to get to one in Iceland for about an hour, but couldn't figure out how to cross a raging icy cold river that separated us from it. The glacier was really stunning, maybe the highlight of the trip. We climbed and slid all over it, finally stopping at a small glacial pond formed by the runoff. I took off my shoes and socks and rolled up my pants, but I couldn't get past my ankles because the water was so cold. I'd run into the pond, take some photos from the improved vantage point, and then run back in pain.
After hiking under the sun all over the glacier, we were hot and tired and eager to get back to Alaska. We were only an hour and a half away, which meant that the roads were really good, nice and wide with not too much traffic. We increased our average speed from around 75-80 to over 100mph, as fast as the motorcycles could go. This sounds dangerous if you're not used to riding motorcycles, but with nice wide roads and good visibility, it's not scary at all on a bike.
At one point I moved into the empty oncoming traffic lane to pass a car and a bike. Before I knew it, the biker was to my left, staring at me, revving his Harley to make noise. He was pissed at me for passing him. After a brief staredown he accelerated past me, giving me a chance to read "Hell's Angels" on the back of his leather vest. I was glad all I got was a dirty look and some engine revving.
When you ride a motorcyle fast, you don't really look in the rear view mirror much. What's in front of you requires all of your attention, and there's just not much behind you that could catch up. After maybe thirty seconds or a minute of not looking behind me I glanced in my vibrating mirrors to see a mess of red and blue lights. I was being pulled over, and there was a pretty good chance he'd been tailing me at over 100 for quite a while.
I pulled to the shoulder and began my whole avoid-getting-a-ticket routine. It didn't seem likely that I'd get out of a 100+ in a 65, but maybe I could at least get it reduced. I turned off my engine, took off my helmet and gloves, and put my hands in plain sight where the officer could see them. He asked me if there was some reason I was going so fast. The officer was my age and not angry, which made me think that I was probably going to get away with no ticket, as improbable as it sounded.
"Sorry, sir, I'm just exhausted from riding all day and lookning forward to getting back to Anchorage to rest."
He took my license and registration and headed back to his car. Using a Todd-pioneered technique, I sat sideways on the bike so that he could see my face as I wistfully looked at the ground and sky, trying to appear as though I was really regritting my actions. In reality, I was pretty happy because I didn't think I was going to get a ticket. When he came back from his car holding only my license and registration, I knew I was home-free.
"I'm going to give you a break today, because the ticket would have been $420 and I have the feeling you can spend that money better than the state of Alaska. But you have to be reasonable, you can't be driving over a hundred like that."
"I really appreciate that, thank you. I promise that I will slow down."
And I did, driving with the flow of traffic for the last forty minutes to Alaska. Before he left I managed to chat with him about biking. It turns out he rides, too, and once got a ticket for going 120 in a 65.
We reconvened in Anchorage, glad to have warm showers and soft beds. We stayed in a little motel where the staff was overtly hostile to us because Anderson had negotiated them down to a really cheap rate. When delivering a rollaway bed, the staff member opened the door shoved the bed in so that it rolled and hit the other bed and then turned around with no words. When we tried to eat at the sushi restaurant downstairs we were told that they were about to close so we would have to take it to go. As we waited for them to make our dinner, they sat a family at a table. All in all, it was a pretty funny reaction to being negotiated down.
The trip only lasted three days, but we covered 800 miles or so and saw a lot of beautiful scenery and even some animals like Caribou. Taking a trip like that via motorcycle is definitely different than any other mode of transportation, with its strengths and weaknesses. I was uncomfortable pretty much all the time, but it was worth it to be able to ride through the open air and feel like I was part of the environment, rather than just passing through it in a bubble.
For the past month I've been working out regularly under the tutelage of Dick Talens, the founder of Fitocracy, and for the first time ever I'm making actual gains. Seven pounds gained so far, and substantial increases in the weights I can lift.
When we first started going back and forth about the training, I said something to the effect of, "I have the irrational idea that I can't possibly gain weight no matter what I do." I gave Crossfit a try for a while, and probably gained around 3-5 pounds within a year and tried Tim's Occam's Protocol with no real success. Back when I had a house I put a bench in my server room and even rigged up a lat pulldown system by putting pulleys in the ceilng. No gains there, either.
The reason I decided to get training from Dick was because I figured I could put to rest once and for all the question of whether or not I'm able to build muscle. I wanted to know what was possible, how much effort it required, and how much time it would take. As I rested in between sets today in the gym, I kept thinking about how I never thought I could gain weight, just because "I'm not that kind of person". I thought about other times I've felt that way and been wrong, and the different patterns these thoughts fall into.
There is No Way
I have been a habitual quitter my whole life, but I will see this trip through to it's completion.
Going by my track record, this project would have a very high probability of failure. I refuse to let that happen in this case. Whether this really is my ultimate dream, or I am just tired of quitting, I will make this a success. Because I am taking such a black and white approach to this, I am going to have to come up with the minimum achievable goals for this journey. Say I start tomorrow, and I immediately hate it and want to quit. I need to have a clear set of objectives I must complete before I can even consider it.
Alaska always comes to mind when I have envisioned this trip, so it seems natural to start there. Although the time of year will definitely affect if that will be possible. I think I would have to start in the spring to give myself enough time to get there and back without running into serious snow. So unless I can get the motorcycle and gear in about a year, I wouldn't be able to start for Alaska until spring 2015. If I miss the 2014 window, I will just stay in the US longer and ride wherever my interest takes me and weather permits, and start for Alaska at the soonest possibility.
After Alaska, I would go south a different route that I took going up, meandering as much as I can while still avoiding the colder weather. Once in Mexico, I think I would like to stay on Baja California to stay with the pacific and to cross over to see the Sea of Cortez when I want. Cabo San Lucas seems like a great place to stop and ponder over my journey thus far. Will that be the beginning of a great journey, or an experience that launches me on to some other endeavor. I feel that I would be able to make an informed choice at that point. I hope that I choose to continue on south after that, but I may be a completely different person at that time.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

MINNEAPOLIS – Salisbury University senior guard Riley Cannon was recognized by D3football.com as one of the top offensive linemen in the country as he was named a Third Team All-American. Cannon helped the Sea Gulls earn the honor as one of the top rushing offenses in the nation during the 2016 season.
Cannon helped pave the way to 376.7 rushing yards per game during the season which ranked second in the NCAA – across all divisions, trailing only Washington and Lee University (390.3 yards per game). Salisbury's offensive line also allowed only 1.18 sacks per game, good for 35th in Division III football, while leading the New Jersey Athletic Conference.
Cannon earned recognition earlier this month from D3football.com as he was named an All-East First Team honoree. He was just the third Sea Gull to earn the first-team offense honors since the inception of the D3football.com all-region awards. He now joins Alex Smith '11 as the only other offensive linemen in Salisbury history to earn All-American honors.

A Month of Weight and Body Fat Measurements
Posted on June 30th, 2011 by Matt Schoeneberger
Starting on May 16th, I recorded weight and body fat percentage as measured by an Omron HBF-500 on a semi-consistent basis. At the time, I wasn't planning on writing about it so I wasn't diligent about recording the measurements every day. But, because of how the numbers turned out, I want to use them to show you something. Keep in mind I wasn't trying to lose fat or gain muscle or do anything specific, really. I was just living.

The best time to develop a network is before you need it. People will be most receptive to your initial outreach when you are still a student, seeking advice and information about what you want to do with your life.
Do you understand what goes on in different industries or what different career functions entail? Do you have some ideas of the types of companies or positions you're interested in? The work/life experience of others can be tremendously helpful to your exploration by providing you information about jobs, industries, companies and the transition from campus to career.
The most compelling reason to network is that it's the single best way to find the career you want. Why? It's simple. Most of the best jobs are never advertised – anywhere. As amazing as it sounds, the evidence has consistently shown that 7 out of 10 jobs are landed through networking. Most organizations look first at people they know – and people who are recommended by someone they know – when it's time to hire someone. Many companies report that 40 – 50% of open positions are filled by candidates referred by staff members. There is no denying that networking requires more effort and, for many students, a step outside of their comfort zone. It is no doubt easier, and less scary, to wait (and wait!) for job offers to pour in from the resume you posted online, but the data shows clearly that networking is much more likely to produce the result you want.
