The blockchain might just be one of the most innovative ideas technology have brought us over the last few years. It has been used to create the famous cryptocoin Bitcoin and has now been branching out into many aspects of all industries like, for instance, the crypto tokens and blockchain investment fund in the world of investment. Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, not a real name but a pseudonym by a group of techies. At its infancy, it has merely been an interesting computer science project to most but since then it has now become premier technology space and got everyone asking, what exactly is the blockchain?
The internet, in all its glory, magnificently stores data across multiple locations which allows the sharing of the load in multiple servers. Digital information stored inside blockchain is distributed and not copied which makes blockchain sort of similar to the internet. This was the basis for the bitcoin, the first popular digital currency, which stored the information regarding the transactions to be stored in the so-called distributed ledger. Today, however, more and more technology giants are finding uses for the blockchain and are gaining support and capital from companies through investments like blockchain investment funds.
The digital gold was the title bestowed upon the bitcoin and deservedly so. The total value of the Bitcoin today totals a about $112 billion US. Not to mention the rising values of other cryptocurrencies like ethereum as well which just proves how much value can be gained from the blockchain. It has been forecasted that, at the next decade, at least a tenth of the world's GDP should be stored in a blockchain enabled technology. The blockchain however will require more knowledge and technical understanding to fully utilize it unlike other forms ventures. The only way to truly understand why the buzz around the blockchain is never ceasing is to know exactly why the latest offering of the digital world is revolutionary. This article will try to guide you into the world of Blockchain.
What is Blockchain Technology?
To put it simply, blockchain technology is a brand new way of keeping information in a digital storage. It is considered virtually incorruptible through it's digital ledger that stores any form of transactions. And most importantly, these transactions are not limited to economic but of really anything that has value.
Imagine opening an book of accounts, and duplicated across the hands of several accountants in a network. Then now imagine how each of these accountants are in constant contact with each other to ensure that they have the exact same copy of the ledger to the last digit. This is basically how the entire blockchain technology works.
All the information that is kept in the blockchain is considered shared. This means that it is continually being reconciled between nodes. The benefits of this kind of setup is quite obvious. The records are for every node to see meaning everything is easily verifiable. Picture a president lying in broad daylight television while facts are annotated beside him. As there is no single point of entry for any hacker to try to corrupt, he has to simultaneously hack into each and every one of the millions of nodes to be successful. And since the public space is hosting the information, it can be accessed from almost anywhere.
The Document Analogy
When you have used one of the more online office applications such as word processors or spreadsheets, it should be familiar to you how people can collaborate online by looking in the same document. You could, for instance send a report to your colleague then ask him/her to make necessary corrections. This differs from how we traditionally do things with offline applications where we had to send the entire document across the internet then wait for a response. Once it comes back with the necessary corrections, you now have two copies, one that is unaltered, and the other that is altered by your colleague. And when you finish doing your finishing touches There will be three different copies altogether. In banking, this is how it is normally done, that is why you have to wait an n number of working days before the transaction goes through. Using the online application however, the two can collaborate and look at the same document to ensure that there is only one true copy.
Blockchain Resilience and Hardiness
Similar to how the internet operates, the blockchain technology is considered to be extremely robust as that is what has been kept in mind since its inception. By storing the same information across the entire network the blockchain can never be controlled centrally by a single entity. And thus, it cannot have any single point of failure as well.
Bitcoin started out in 2008. And ever since then, Bitcoin the distributed ledger has continued without faltering. If there were problems that may have arose, it was due to attempts to deny the service or human error. This just proves how blockchain enabled technologies are impenetrable.
The internet, since it began as a military project is also known for the same kind of resilience for 30 years, in fact. And as both the internet and blockchain technologies continue to be developed, there should be no worries about the future for both these technologies.
As blockchain lives across multiple networks, every each one of the nodes in the network should readily be able to verify information and in turn, they can respond to verification requests as well. This kind of transparency is what makes it the perfect candidate to store economic transactions.
Nowadays, blockchain technologies are slowly creeping up on us and soon enough we would be living in a world where the digital coin will replace all currencies and blockchain investment funds replacing all kinds of funds. In this futuristic world, it might be wise to get a grip of what really is going on and get a headstart.

Our first goal with any patient is to remove discomfort and most importantly get them strengthened and feeling better throughout the day. However a far better goal that as a team we strive to achieve with Chiropractic is to improve our patient's overall health with factors like posture, sleep, energy in the day, being able to lift your kids, play with the grandkids, not wake up in pain and feel young!
We are dedicated to helping you achieve the best results possible. At Madrid Health Chiropractic we commonly see patients with:
Bone and joint disease are the most common cause of disability in older people and as a result, quality of life can be severely compromised. The onset of musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis and osteoporosis increases significantly with old age and if left untreated can greatly reduce overall well-being and health.
Restoring better spinal function may help improve problems associated with the over 65's age group including mobility, vitality, endurance, and appetite. Many patients report improvements with arthritic symptoms and other chronic ailments often associated with the aging process. The adjusting technique used by our chiropractors will be modified for maximum comfort and results.
Pregnancy is an exciting and positive experience for many women, however as your baby grows, the hollow in your back may become more pronounced, which can cause backache. During pregnancy, your ligaments in your body naturally become softer and stretch to prepare you for labour. This can put a strain on the joints of your lower back and pelvis.
Back pain in pregnancy is very common and affects almost three thirds of women at some stage of their pregnancy. Lower back pain and pelvic girdle pain are the most common complaints for women pre and post pregnancy.
At Madrid Health we use benches specifically adapted for the treatment of pregnant women and these can be used all the way through pregnancy. Chiropractic treatment during pregnancy is both safe and very gentle. We use specific techniques to encourage realignment of your lower back and pelvis.
Back pain is the number one cause of long term absence among employees, and is a common cause of short-term absence. It is estimated that up to 60% of people on long-term sick leave cite musculoskeletal problems as the reason.
Untreated back pain can lead to serve long-term chronic conditions; affecting the ability to work effectively; resulting in poor performance and may even reduce or prevent participation in activities outside of the workplace.
We treat a number of professionals and manual workers whose back and neck complaints are a direct result of poor posture, long-working hours, accidents, highly stressful & pressured working environments, heavy labour and a general lack of exercise.

Still wondering why those lazy millennials wouldn't go to that neighborhood restaurant but would rather give that home delivery order from Uber Eats?
Believe it or not, millennials can end up baffling you. Critics regard them to be lazy and narcissistic, but they are also known to be open-minded, inclusive and supportive.
There have been varying opinions about the time period which encapsulates millennials, but they remain one of the toughest groups to impress. If you want to come up with a millennial marketing plan, then you have to use your creative faculty to the fullest.
You cannot ignore millennials as customers because they form a large portion of the U.S. population. Instead, you should allocate your time and money to understanding your options.
Studying their reactions to different digital marketing tactics is a good start. Your brand image should resonate with their outlook and views on life. Their desires, thoughts, and wishes might not align with yours, so you have to go out of your way to increase your customer base.
Millenials encompass a wide variety of demographics. While some of them are still pursuing their education, others have settled down with families. At heart, they are go-getters who know what they want. They are intelligent and smart when it comes to making business decisions, which is why your millennial marketing has to be a step ahead.
They know that they hold a lot of power as customers, and it is not likely that they will be willing to compromise. Moreover, millennials want to embrace the latest technological developments at all times which means that you need to upgrade your game.
The Top Tips to Make Your Business More Attractive
To make your business more appealing to them, here are a few tactics that you can use.
1. Work for a cause:
You will find that great deals are not enough to attract millennials into parting with their money. You have to give them something extra. They want a reason as to why they should choose you, and not your competitors. There are limitless options on the market, and you need to stand out. Hence, giving an additional incentive will you the leverage you need in order to increase your sales. Research based on millennial marketing has revealed that millennials are more likely to get into business with you if your company is associated with a cause. They like to think that a company stands for something other than landing customers and earning profits. 37% of millennials have reportedly admitted that they would not mind paying extra for a product or a service which supports a cause that they have faith in. 75% of millennials have also expressed a wish to see companies giving back to society with the help of their products. However, you should not try to deceive them because they will be quick to spot any inconsistency. Focus on honest and inspirational marketing.
2. Do not spend too much money on ads and capitalize on social proof:
2019 is not the year for traditional marketing tactics. You might think that the key to making fast sales and closing better deals is to take advantage of platforms such as Facebook Ads and AdWords, but that is always true. These strategies might work with a certain group of people, but Millennials will not stand for it because they are not receptive to these advertising methods, which is why creating a millennial marketing plan is a must.
HubSpot revealed that 84% of millennials have lost their faith traditional advertising, whether it be online or offline. If you want to attract more millennial customers, then you have to change your thinking patterns.
Why is it important to have a millennial marketing strategy? According to SocialChorus data, 95% of millennials trust their friends the most when it comes to product recommendations. They'd rather take their friends' suggestions than believing an online ad. Social proof is hence critical in order to increase your sales when it comes to millennials. Gather honest social proof and reviews so they can believe in your credibility.
3. Use social media:
Perhaps the most obvious of all, making a mark on social media will help you attract more millennials. They use smartphones on a regular basis, and they appreciate it when a company is reaching out to them on a platform they use. Facebook is undoubtedly one of the most popular social media sites out there because 87% of millennials have been known to use the platform.
Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and Pinterest have also gathered momentum among the millennials. Build your online brand identity and engage with your followers. Devoting time and effort into managing your social media accounts will drive your sales because your company will become trustworthy and credible with millennial marketing.

Gergana liked a post in a topic: Advice For Yoga Kit
emm replied to Gergana's topic in General Yoga DiscussionI can recommend yogabox.de (English site available), they ship to Bulgaria, the shippment is quite pricey though. They don't seem to have kits but they offer good quality mats/straps/blocks/bolsters and everything you might need seperately.
blueswampmusic liked a post in a topic: Yoga Class Pet Peeves?
Turi liked a post in a topic: Favorite Tea?
I always had coffee in mind when thinking of Eilles. I will be looking for Eilles tea as soon as my huge stock of Kusmi and Løv runs low. Might take a while though
mimisouth liked a post in a topic: Favorite Tea?
I haven't been into tea for years and just recently started drinking some again. I really like Kusmi and Løv because they come in beautiful tins, ha ha .

emm replied to laceyd's topic in General Yoga DiscussionI love camel best and I also like full lotus. I've been sitting in lotus pose (eating and/or watching tv ) all my live, so this one comes easy to me.
emm replied to YogaByCandace's topic in YBC Community ChallengesI'll give pidgeon pose and forward fold a try, I loathe them both and they usually really piss me off after just a few seconds .
emm replied to SDYogi's topic in General Yoga DiscussionI declared this week as "just do it!"-week to myself and did unsupported headstand in the middle of the room for the first time on Monday. I tried to tune my thoughts out and when it was time for headstand, without any further ado I did it- and fell over . And then I did it again right away and managed to actually stand straight for at least one minute. Gee, I was so smug afterwards, what an experience, ha ha ! So my advice: just give it a try if you feel that you technically have the strength. It might cost quite an effort and you will probably fall but in my opinion that's part of the process: learning that things can go wrong but that it doesn't cause you harm
emm replied to iamgracey's topic in New To YogaI'm so much more comfortable in wide legged child's pose, how about giving it a try? It gives you more space to breathe and your butt can glide down between your calves. It might be a problem if you have tight hips, though.
emm replied to emm's topic in Wellness, etc.Oh yeah, taking off glitter polish is a real bummer... I usually use them as a topper on top of similar shades of creams. For daily use I love creams best too. I've never heard of Julep before (just googled it), they have beautiful colors!
emm replied to YogaByCandace's topic in General Yoga DiscussionI really can't stand others stepping on my mat. I have a hard time not to freak out if it's the studio's mat and it's ever harder to keep calm if anyone touches my own mat...with bare feet I might be weird but it's just that I feel like they violate my private space, it's definitely too close.
emm replied to YogaByCandace's topic in Wellness, etc.That would be my hands I'm in the process of downshifting and having a TINY kitchen with very few plug sockets kept my from having electric kitchen devices in the first place. Anyway, I'm trying to keep is as simple as possible and don't really miss anything. BUT...it also doesn't keep me from secretly longing for a Kitchenaid, they come in so many beautiful colors...
emm posted a topic in Wellness, etc.Anyone into indie nail polishes? You'll hardly ever see my with my nails unpainted and I especially love indie nail polishes. There are many amazing brands out there and I only discovered a few by myself so far. Thus being said I can strongly recommed HARE polish if you are into glitters! I have several shades from different collections, the formula is great and they come in the cutest bottles
emm replied to YogaByCandace's topic in Ask a yoga questionI got myself the Manduka Eko mat a few weeks ago and so far I'm pretty pleased with it. It's heavy indeed and although I walk to the gym several times a week carrying it just rolled up without a bag or straps, I don't mind the weight. Also the rubber smell didn't bother me and it's nearly gone by now. Due to the structured surface it has a nice grip but unfortunately it's still a little slippery when my hands and feet sweat. I hope it will gradually get nonslip. It's sturdy but just soft enough and slightly stretchy to offer support to the knees, that's why I preferred the original 5mm mat to the eko lite version and it's a little bit wider, too. I just wish I had the 79" (200cm) long mat but the 71" (180cm) mat was hard enough to find so it has to do the job.

On your wedding day, there are several factors to consider – with transportation often being placed last in the list of priorities. However, you should give it much thought and consideration. You want to not only arrive at the wedding venue in style, but also to ensure comfort for the bride, the groom, and the bridal party. A quality wedding car hire Adelaide can address these issues, but the question is – how do you find them?
Take note of these vital pointers to consider when choosing a wedding car hire in Adelaide:
• Limousines are the best option. When it comes to your wedding, you want to put your best foot forward. The same goes with your choice of transportation for the wedding. There are several Adelaide wedding car hire services that mainly offer limo services for weddings. You can choose them, especially if you have a formal wedding theme. It is a practical option as well, because it can transport the entire wedding party – instead of just the bride and the groom.
• Find a car that matches your wedding style. As mentioned above, limousines are the most popular choice for wedding transportation. However, limousines are not your only option. Make sure to inquire with your wedding car hire Adelaide service provider about what other types of cars or vehicles you can rent.
If you are having a casual wedding, renting a limousine might not be a good fit. A good car hire service should be able to assist you with making your selection. If you have your heart set on a specific style of car, let them know about it and see if they can accommodate your request.
• If you are not well-informed about cars, seek the expert opinion of those from the car hire service. You can also ask your friends (who are knowledgeable about cars and vehicles) to make recommendations for you. Do your research rather than settling.
• Check the quality of the cars available for rent to see if the car hire company is taking good care of their vehicles. The least you would want to happen during your wedding day is for your car to break down. Make sure that all vehicles from the company undergo regular maintenance.
• Look into the other services provided when you find wedding car hire Adelaide. Will they take care of the décor for the car? What other services can you enjoy? It is highly likely that the wedding vehicle will be included in the photo coverage and shoot at the wedding day. Make sure that it is decorated according to the wedding theme.
To ensure the best wedding car hire Adelaide service, Holdfast Limousines is your go-to option. With several years in the industry, they offer affordable and reliable limousine services. Although their limousines are the top choice for newlyweds, they also offer other types of vehicles to suit their clients' preferences. Thus, they stay true to their commitment of making your wedding day extra special. For more information or to place reservations, check Holdfast Limousines online at http://holdfastbaylimos.com.au/.

About LANG Switzerland
LANG is based in Switzerland and is founded by serial entrepreneur Jan-Erik Lundberg
"After watching a documentary on the bottled water industry where it showed that it is directly responsible for countless environmental and health issues, I decided to turn my efforts toward making a change. As a father of young children, I felt compelled to do something for their generation as well.
Do you know we now consume nearly 400 billion liters of bottled water every year? More than 1 million plastic bottles used every minute? And less than 20% of these bottles are properly recycled.
I do understand the need for bottled water after living in many cities around the world where drinking tap water is simply not an option – due to health risks or poor taste.
These two factors – the need to eliminate bottled water while offering a viable alternative to tap water – is what compelled me to create the LANG machine. This simple countertop machine replicates the process of the bottling plants to turn your tap water into great tasting, clean and healthy water – all done in your own home. It's quick and cost-effective as well. I expanded this concept by adding the possibility to also make other hot and cold beverages instantly, whilst also eliminating the need for single-serve capsules.
We welcome you in joining us on this journey of positive change…"

She, say, she, slick

but what's that got to do with me? (f'real)
Some chicks like low-key

For you haters, keepin up trauma

Anyone have exp. with Chinese Arri knockoffs?
Whenever I search ebay for Arri lights I get a million of these Chinese knockoffs called "As Arri". Has anyone purchased these lights? If so, what's the build quality like? Are they safe? They look like Arris, but they're a lot cheaper.

The studio I worked at had a ton of Film Gear Arri clones. Never had an issue.

I don't have the one that's in your link, but I actually bought a few of the Jietu lights last year (They're another Chinese brand).
To keep it brief, they work as advertised but it's nothing fancy. The lights feel pretty solid, but I haven't dropped them or anything so I can't tell you exactly how much of a beating it can take. The longest I've had them run at a time was less than two hours. I usually keep them off until I'm shooting anyways because they get really hot (as all fresnels do). They haven't blown up on me yet so I'd say they are safe.
The one thing that feels cheap are the barndoors, both the material they are made of and the way they feel when you move the leaves around. They don't feel as solid as the Arris, but it also doesn't feel like they're fall apart.
I'm currently a film student, so I've had some experience with Arri lights, and I'm basing my comparison with my limited experience and knowledge. If I can be of any more help, let me know!

Not to be political, but at at some point, as professional equipment consumers, do we need to be more diligent about patronizing our local companies that create original, high quality products for us, rather than constantly rushing to Chinese knock-offs for everything from ARRIs to fishing poles?
It would be one thing if the Chinese manufacturers (and government, for that matter) had a better track record for original R&D and a better appreciation for copyrights and intellectual property rights.

Bill I agree to a certain extent but most things are made in china and the far east these days and in the case of Dyson cleaners they made all their UK people redundant so that they could get them made cheaper in china.
So whilst brand loyalty means certain things it is a world wide economy and it is all down to consumer choice at the end of the day.
As for R&D and design most things are copied these days and you can hardly call these a direct copy of the arri as they are no where near as well made.
There is also the distributor add on's for local back-up and support but in the case of all my USA made PRS guitars I bought them from the USA as they were far cheaper to import with tax paid than pay distributor handling fee's and retail overheads.
Here in the UK a company called indie kit import and distribute these arri knockoff's but I might as well get them direct from china as they are far cheaper.

I provide my clients a good value at a good price. I expect the same from my suppliers. If the Arri fresnel was $125 and the Chinese knockoff was $110, I'd buy the Arri every day of the week. Sadly, that is not the case, and Arri can kiss my ass. Thank god for coollights.

Interesting take on that Mike and I totally agree but I suspect coolights are also made in china but at least Richard has taken the time to make sure they are up there for quality and consistency in colour balance.

having great exprerience for cheap indian and chinese product, i can tell you that "you got what you pay".
As said , if you need just a wire, a socket an a bulb, this could be a choice.
unfortunately, these products often offer lower quality in small details.
screws and thread are weak, plastic is low quality and often crack, metal also.
Strangely, electronic products that seems a more sensitive domain, are less prone to deception.
So if you are just fixing one of these lamp to the ceiling of your studio, this could make no difference with the more expensive model, but if you need the bullet proof product you can rely on, you better to purchase a pair instead one. (and often it is still cheaper then the original one).

I wasn't expecting politics to come up, and the thread Gary points to is very political. But, I only care about the performance of the light. From Kin's post it sounds like a compromise between cost and performance which isn't a bad thing. It's good for the bigger companies to have some competition. I'd rather buy a used Arri, but it's good to know the Chinese can provide something cost effective.

Re: Anyone have exp. with Chinese Arri knockoffs?
The kit in that video looks almost identical to the kit that I have, except I ordered 2x300s and 1x650. He mentions the lightstands being flimsy, which I find to be the opposite with mine. I remember when I first got them I was actually quite impressed with how solid they feel. They definitely feel sturdier (or at least the same as) than some of the Lowel stands I've used at my school. They're also air cushioned so that when you want to collapse the stand, it doesn't just fall abruptly. The inline switch is also lit, I don't think the Arris are.
The barn doors are the only thing I have to complain about. They feel lighter and weaker than the Arri's.

That's funny - in the video I thought his light stands looked pretty flimsy, and I thought the barndoors looked pretty solid! :-)

Re: Anyone have exp. with Chinese Arri knockoffs?
Just got a new Arri 650W from B & H and a Pro As Arri 650W from Steven Studios in China off Ebay. Was wondering if the extra $264 was worth it so I put them side by side to see what I could see.

Re: Anyone have exp. with Chinese Arri knockoffs?
I have three of the Steven Studio lights. So far, three sets of globes have gone through them. I experienced one cracked glass very early which the vendor replaced.
The lamphouses and fittings have been trouble free so far. As a precaution, I have been checking screws and fittings for tightness. I found that the screws holding the end cap on took a bit more tightening, which I expected, given the thermal cycles the casework experiences.
The spring leaves which retain the globe are very stiff and awkward when new. They lose some tension after being heated but seem to remain adequate for retaining the globe and easier to remove the globe from.
I have not played with ARRI lights so have no reference to compare to.
The stands are another matter. Owner-operators are likely to take some care but borrowers or renters seem to be thrice-inbred second-cousins to Tarzan or the Hulk. The columns do not tolerate overtightening for long.
The tubes deform but remain functional. The small steel friction inserts beneath the thumbscrews are fully floating in a rectangular receiver. If the columns are over-extended and someone wrestles a section for that last inch of extension, the rubber sleeve inside the section comes out and allows ther tube to over-extend free of the outer column.
With no inner column surface to retain it, the friction piece drops free inside the outer column and then the Tarzans punch deep holes in the columns when they overtighten the thumbscrews next time round. There are ways and means of preventing this. The simplest method of a capped pin would require five more machining operations plus assembly for each friction screw.
Then the friction piece would likely bind the section from being re-inserted. The Tarzans would probably go for the nearest piece of 3x2 wooden dunnage from the dolly track to bash it back in.
Overtightening of the leg extention slide friction screw crushes the column and the diecast friction piece then deforms, cracks in two and drops out. Then the same bare end of thumbscrew and hole punching happens when the Tarzans get to work again.
How the ARRI lightweight stands compare I do not know.
Given care, the Chinese stands should last a long time but if abused, they will become disposable very soon.
There is a point of view which paints the buyers of non-genuine knockoffs as traitors who will see the manufacturers of the genuine item into bankruptcy. A partial counter-argument is that there are some filmies in worn-out jeans showing bare knees and backsides hanging out who will never be moneyed enough to be in the ARRI market until if or when they make into the professional ranks. From that point, reliability becomes key and they too may then decide not to frig around with non-genuine articles.

My thoughts on kits like the ones you discussed is that it sounds great if you fall in love with the finished quilt, but what if you make a mistake? I'd want a couple of extra of every piece, just in case! Can you tell that I "occasionally" make mistakes when quilting :-) I supposed that if it was hand piecing, it might be easier to unsew and fix mistakes.

The Name of the Star
The Name of the Star
When Louisiana-born Aurora (Rory) Deveaux arrives in London to attend Wexford University, she has no idea that her time there is going to be so life-altering. As an incoming American student, she stands out from the others, who are mostly native to the area. But accents and strange English expressions aside, Rory is ready to dive in, to be independent and even to play hockey --- since that seems to be the English thing to do. Like any new student, she is concerned about roommates, knowing that the right kind of roommate can make or break the year.
Rory's first day is filled with new faces, names, an awkwardly fitting uniform, a bossy head girl named Charlotte, and a very interesting guy named Jerome. When she falls asleep that first night, reports of a "ripper-like murder" only slightly faze her. What's a ripper, anyway?
The next day she meets her new roommate, Jazza. Perfect! Classes are okay, except hockey (how did she get talked into that one?). She also shares an art class with the fascinating Jerome. On one of their many jaunts through the National Art Gallery, they collaborate on an art project and choose "butts" as their theme.
Rory meets her second roommate, "Boo," and is totally frustrated by her. She has a certain sharpness along with a devil-may-care attitude that drives the other two crazy. Boo is clingy and messy; she's everything they didn't want. Behind the messy glitz and sparkle, however, Boo is much more than she appears.
In a frightening moment during lunch in the cafeteria, Rory chokes on her food and passes out for a few minutes. She wakes up in the refectory, thoroughly embarrassed. Unknown to her, however, her "near-death" experience has changed her life --- she can now see ghosts. And Wexford, not to mention the rest of London, is full of ghosts. Of course, this is not something she tells anyone; even she can't begin to understand what has happened to her or what it means.
On the upper floor of the school library, Rory meets Alistair, who hangs mostly in the poetry and literature area and knows the library better than anyone. He proves to be a great source of homework help, and despite the spiky hair and weird clothing, he is definitely one of Wexford's best scholars. Alistair soon becomes someone special in Rory's life, as does Jo, the woman who dresses in a drab kind of suit and collects garbage but always has a friendly smile and a kind word. Rory is finally beginning to feel at home --- but when she has an unfortunate run-in with the ripper one night, she suddenly becomes a full-fledged victim of his horror. While her parents fret over her safety and her friends (some of whom do not "live" in this world) try to offer protection, the madman continues to get closer. Is she the next victim?
Maureen Johnson, who has authored excellent teen books, such as the Scarlett series and THIRTEEN LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES, is now thrilling her fans with THE NAME OF THE STAR, the first book in a series called Shades of London. The novel is full of unexpected turns, wonderfully developed personalities, and absolutely terrifying moments. Johnson's quick wit and fast-paced dialogue are cleverly intermingled with the ghastly reality of the characters' lives. Peopled with ghosts, a new kind of "ghostbuster" team called The Shades, and a powerful madman who wrecks havoc while leaving a trail of mutilated, dead women in his wake, THE NAME OF THE STAR is an unputdownable book that will surely satisfy the mystery/horror lover in all of Johnson's readers.

Happy National Ice Cream Day! 🙂 My Double Chocolate Ice Cream is so unbelievably creamy! Use a four-quart ice cream maker and have a party, or enjoy ice cream for days.
I've always preferred vanilla ice cream to chocolate. Well, that was BEFORE I made this creamy and delicious Double Chocolate Ice Cream. I must say – I think this recipe may have converted me.
Ice Cream is serious business in our home. Mike and I both come from huge ice-cream-lovin-families. Both of our dads top ice cream with ice cream, and we both grew up making it homemade.
Tips for making EPIC homemade ice cream:
- To make this recipe, you will need this 4-Quart Electric Ice Cream Maker, or a similar one in size.
- NOTE: Pasteurized eggs are sometimes hard to find, but they are safe to eat in raw form.
- You want to make sure that you don't over-fill the canister. The sweet cream mixture needs room to expand as it freezes, and you will know the ice cream is close when you can see it rise to the top. If you fill it too full, you will be churning forever, and the end result will be a cold creamy liquid, instead of ice cream.
- Making chocolate ice cream involves a very important process that should be done the day BEFORE you freeze it (or at least four hours).
Here's the steps to making the chocolate mixture.
- Using a double boiler (or use a pan with a bowl inside of it), heat the unsweetened chocolate pieces over low heat, stirring often.
- Gradually add cocoa powder, stirring constantly. The cocoa will clump up some, but the milk will dissolve it.
- Gradually add milk to pan and stir to cream the chocolate. This process may take 20 – 30 minutes. Be patient because it takes a while to get the chocolate to be completely creamy.
- After the mixture is creamy with no lumps, remove from heat and cool.
- Place chocolate in airtight container with lid, and cool in refrigerator overnight.
Again, making the chocolate mixture takes patience, but the end result is worth it!
Mike (my hand model, below) recently had an Ice Cream Party at MK, and I made this chocolate recipe along with my Cookies and Cream. He loves treating his team, and I'm happy to help. Because to be honest, they are pretty amazing people and they really appreciate the treats I send.

Double Chocolate Ice Cream
My Double Chocolate Ice Cream is so unbelievably creamy! Use a four-quart ice cream maker and have a party, or enjoy ice cream for days.
- 6 oz. unsweetened chocolate baking bar (Baker's) - chop into small pieces
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey's)
- 4 cups milk - I use 1%
- 6 large pasteurized eggs - safe to eat in raw form
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Watkins Vanilla
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
In a double boiler over low heat, melt chocolate bar (pieces), stirring until creamy.
Gradually add cocoa powder, stirring constantly. Slowly add milk and stir until mixture is creamy. This step is tricky because the cocoa powder will clump up. You just have to keep stirring. It may take up to 30 minutes to get all the lumps out.
Pour chocolate mixture into separate bowl and cool. Place in refrigerator to chill, overnight or at least 4 hours.
In separate bowl, whip pasteurized eggs. Add sugar and vanilla and whip vigorously. Add in chocolate mixture and heavy cream, and whip again until fully combined.
Pour into 4-quart canister of ice cream maker. This should fill to about 2/3 - 3/4 full. DON'T OVERFILL or ice cream can't expand, and you will be left with only a sweet cream.
Place canister into ice cream maker, and layer ice and rock salt all around canister. Fill all the way to the top of barrel and start.
As ice melts, continue adding more ice and rock salt. When you see ice cream rising to the top of the canister, and ice cream maker starts to slow down, the ice cream should be done. This process may take anywhere from one to two hours. If ice cream is still too soft, continue to churn.
When ice cream is done, pour it into a tupperware container with a lid. Store in freezer.
Recipe Notes
NOTE: Pasteurized eggs are sometimes hard to find, but they are safe to eat in raw form.

This is my story of how the Curly Girl Method saved my 2b, 2c, 3a curly and wavy hair.
This is me and my curly hair. I wear my hair curly every day. It has been more than 10 years since I've straightened my hair. I always have people telling me they wish they had my curls. Other wavies and curlies look at my hair and have a million questions as to how it's not a puffy, frizzy mess. They want to know my secrets. But when I begin to explain, it's like I'm talking about quantum physics. I promise it's really very simple.
Wavy and Frizzy Hair
Let me give you some background because my hair didn't always look like this. I grew up with what I thought was just wavy, frizzy, puffy hair. I had no idea how to tame it. I straightened it every day. EVERY DAY!
I used to live in Miami, where humidity hovers around 80-100% year-round, so imagine what my hair looked like a few seconds after walking outside. It also rains a ton there, which just makes it worse. I had to straighten with the dryer, then flat iron my hair every day to not look crazy. I did this from middle school until I decided to embrace my curls when I was 24.
Below is what my curls used to look like before I stopped straightening them. You can see they were undefined, flat, and look damaged. They were pretty much just stringy waves.
In 2010, I moved abroad to work and travel. I decided then I wasn't going to waste any more time fussing with my hair and just embrace the waves. I thought that styling my hair every day with the dryer and iron was just too much when traveling and I was done with it. Pretty much all I did was stop straightening my hair. I didn't adopt the Curly Girl method because I had not heard of it yet, and I wouldn't have been able to find the right products anyway.
Just 1 year later, my hair looked so much better. You can see in the photos below my hair is curlier and looks healthier. I still had frizz because my method was wrong, but the health of my hair had improved so much very quickly. Within months really, my hair started to curl instead of just being waves.
Another plus was that my hair grew quickly. My hair had never really been much past shoulder length before because I always had to chop off so much damage. But it got very long within the first 2 years of not straightening it. It got all the way down my back before I started keeping it shorter.
The Curly Girl Method
When I came back to the U.S., I decided to go full CG (curly girl method). It had already been 3 years of not straightening my hair. During that time I had been reading about the curly girl method so I could start right away with the right products.
The Curly Girl Method is a method of washing and styling wavy and curly hair to get softer, more defined, healthier curls and waves. It pretty much works for anyone who has frizz, waves, and curls.
It's basically using silicone and sulfate free products, washing less often, adding in lots of hydration, styling hair when it's sopping wet in the shower, using a microfiber towel or t-shirt to squeeze out the water, letting it dry "crunchy" (the hard cast gel creates), and then scrunching it out to get soft curls. You can learn more about it in my free ebook and online course.
I had seen so many amazing hair transformations from other women who had changed their routine to CG and was determined to make it work. I tried different lines, types of products, styling methods, and techniques and figured out what worked for my hair. Some people go crazy and use many products to style their hair. I can't keep that up so I only use 4 hair products.
I have now been CG for 6 years and embraced the curls for almost 10 years. I will show you in detail how I style my hair, but please know that this will not work for everyone. I have very fine, thin hair, with 2b-3a curls (click here to find out your curl type), high porosity (it can be helpful to know your porosity so click here for help with that), and live in a high humidity area. I cannot use some of the most popular products, even though others with similar hair types can and get beautiful curls with them. My biggest struggle is maintaining volume and definition in the humidity.

Curly Girl Method Products for 2B 2C 3A hair
{Update 10/4/18: I now use EVOLVh which I LOVE because it gives me softer, shinier curls and I can go much longer between washes! You can try it with coupon code HE15 for 15% off. Check out this review to see if it might work for you.}
I use either Raw Curls Swavy shampoo, regular conditioner, and medium hold gel, or EVOLVh Smart Curl shampoo and conditioner, Smart Volume leave in, Total Control Styling Creme, and WonderBalm. These 2 lines work best for my hair right now, and I like that they are organic. Lots of curly hair lines are full of toxic fragrances and other not so great ingredients, and they are very pricey.
Also, I love that these lines are very concentrated so the products last a long time. They end up being cheaper than the others when you factor in how long they last. I save even more by buying the large bottles during their sales which last me a whole year.
Some other curly and wavy haircare lines are DevaCurl, Briogeo, and Innersense (expensive). I also have a budget-friendly clean Curly Girl products roundup post.
Curly hair routine for 2B 2C 3A hair
I have video tutorials posted below the text instructions, so scroll down if you prefer visuals.
I wash my hair every 4-6 days.
First, I wash with the shampoo and conditioner. I finger comb the knots out with the conditioner and add more if I need to. I flip my head upside down to rinse out the conditioner.
I make sure to rinse my scalp really well, then with my head still upside down I spray the EVOLVh Smart Volume conditioner through the ends and scrunch my hair up. I finger comb a bit here as well to make sure there are no tangles, and scrunch some more. If I don't see my curls clumping up nicely, I cup my hands to grab some water and scrunch into my hair. You want thick clumps of curls.
(My head is still upside down) I then scrunch in some of the Raw Curls medium hold gel, or the Evolvh styling creme and WonderBalm mixed together. I put about a nickel size amount of product in my palms, scrunch up from the ends all the way up to the roots. I continue squishing it at the roots to encourage better clumps. At this point, it looks like I barely have any hair and it doesn't even look very curly.
I then scrunch out the water with a microfiber hair towel or a flour sack towel. A microfiber or flour sack towel or t-shirt is key for reducing frizz. A regular towel will not work for this. I do this by placing the towel under my hair when my head is upside down, then pushing it towards my scalp, and squeezing once to absorb the water. I do this a few times around my head.
Grab the microfiber towel I use here.
I leave my hair alone until the ends are dry and crunchy. This takes about 15 minutes. Because my hair is so flat, I diffuse the roots with my head upside down or completely dry it by diffusing upside down. If you don't need volume, you can skip that. I use the diffuser attachment on my hairdryer, flip my head upside down, and dry the roots. This takes about 5 minutes. You can see below the volume it gives me.
Here is the diffuser I recommend.
I usually wash my hair at night, so I don't scrunch out the crunchy gel until the morning. I put my hair in a buff (pictured below) to preserve the curls and maintain volume and sleep in that. But if I am going out then I skip this part.
Grab the buff I use here.
When I wake up, I take out the buff and scrunch out the crunchiness. I flip my head over for this and try to fluff it a little bit too.
Usually, on the first day, I don't need to add any styling product because it looks good straight out of the buff. This is what it usually looks like after I scrunch out the crunch (aka SOTC in the curly world).

Making The Style Last
I sleep with the buff on every night to preserve the curls. Nighttime curl care is crucial to get waves and curls that last several days between washes. Read this post for more info on nighttime curl care.
On the third and fourth days, I need to refresh my curls a bit. I usually add a tiny amount of conditioner mixed with water to recoil some of the curls in the front and top layer, and if needed add a small amount of gel with water.
Here is third day hair after refreshing with a little conditioner and water.
Check out my refreshing video below. I also have another here.
Sometimes there's no salvaging it on days 4-5, so I do a quick side braid or side bun on those days. I also sometimes pin back one or both sides, or the front if only some parts of my hair are not cooperating. I have a video on easy hairstyles here.
And that's it. Typing it out makes it seem more complicated than it is but hopefully, this was helpful. If you need more support through the process, check out my course Fabulous Curls Made Easy.
Fabulous Curls Made Easy
Fabulous Curls Made Easy is my new online course that will guide you through creating a simple routine that gives you fabulous results. Learn what your hair type is, which products and ingredients will work for you, and how to style according to your hair type by creating a simple routine that works. No more confusion about products or methods or battling frizz and time. Click here for more info.
Other Benefits of the Curly Girl Method
One thing I didn't expect was how much money I would save on hair care. I now get haircuts twice a year. I don't have to pay for the blowout. I don't have to buy heat styling products, brushes, and special straightening treatments. It can cost a bit upfront if you don't find the right products quickly, but in the end, it's cheaper and so much less stressful than to be fighting your natural hair on a daily basis.
I hope I have inspired some of you to wear your natural curls! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the curly girl method or if you'd like to see some tutorials.
You can subscribe to my blog and follow me on Instagram @holisticenchilada where I constantly share tips, info, and demo videos on curly hair, green beauty, and wellness.

Supported Feature
What do you do when a media company calls to say that they have been instructed by your biggest and most important client to produce a special feature about them and they'd like you to support it with advertising?
This type of supported feature has been around for a long time and we've all either been asked to support a client or have been approached by a magazine to suggest one to our suppliers. They can be useful promotional opportunities and helpful in building good relationships with key business partners.
That's all fine and dandy, but do you take the approach from the magazine at face value and pay for the advert etc or do you, just by chance, double check to see if it is a legitimate approach?
Would you say what you tweet?
Is twitter the last bolt hole of the coward? A radical question perhaps but one I believe warrants investigating.
Market Strategy
Has the marketing world been turned on its head or are businesses so desperate that they are chasing up and down every route to market in the hope of a sale?
Every marketing strategy put forward over the last 20 years has been driven by market segmentation and the narrowing of marketing channels. The aim has been, and should be, to focus on a key target market, identify how to communicate with it and make the message so irresistible that customers cannot refuse the offer.
Personal opinion v business opinion
Living in Nottinghamshire and being in public relations I could not help watching the recent Channel 4 series, Coppers. I was keen to see how the programme portrayed our local police force and how the public reacted to it as well.
Myth or Reality
Two separate but connected events combined this week to get me thinking about a politically generated myth and a political PR agenda that was reinvented; some would say stolen.
Poor public relations
I wonder if there is any other service provider that has such a "customers must play by our rules" attitude as that I recently experienced with Fitness First?
Five quick communication tips
Here are five quick communication tips for new businesses that, from recent experience of talking to very unhappy customers, more established service providers seem to have forgotten.
- Do invest in an answerphone. It may seem an incredibly obvious thing to say and do but I'm still amazed at the number of business owners/managers that think it's fine to let customer hang on the end of a phone until they lose the will to live. Customers do not want your product or service only between 10am and 4.30pm. Make sure you have some way they can leave you a message so you can get back to them – or risk losing them to a competitor.
Customer Service
Here's a small challenge for you – see if you can nominate a pub, in fact any business that has the same level of customer service as The Salmon Tail in Stratford upon Avon.
Earlier this month we were visiting Stratford to see the RSC perform A Midsummer's Night Dream, which we saw on the Friday night and a great show it was too. As England were opening their World Cup campaign the next day against Argentina we set about looking for somewhere to watch the game. On the way back from town we dropped in at one of Stratford's few remaining "real" pubs, The Salmon Tail on Evesham Road, on the way out to the racecourse just before the cemetery where Maria Corelli is buried.
What I got out of Business Boost III
Last night I had the pleasure of listening to two very different but equally inspiring speakers at the third Business Boost event; a series of seminars/networking events organised to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
What's behind your website?
A colleague of mine recently asked me for advice on social media strategy which resulted in us exposing some serious flaws in her company's on-line presence which left me wondering – just what lies behind most websites and how effective are they?
10 top tips to make life easier when you're setting up a new business
Running a small business, especially in the early days can be a very lonely place to be so here's ten top tips to make life easier-
1) Join a networking organisation in your area. Develop a core group of other people you can trust and use each other as mentors – it works.
2) Invest in Customer Information Management software – it will save you weeks of time and make your operation run smoothly.
3) Take nothing for granted with your IT. Check your spam and junk files regularly – I know of at least one company that lost potential orders by not doing so.
4) PR is better than advertising. Develop links with one or two key journalists in your field and talk to them about what's happening at your business – too many people hide their successes.
5) Organic growth is good, but proactive prospecting is better. Don't rely on people coming to you. Decide who you want as customers and make contact with them.
6) Be persistent. 80% of people stop making new customer calls after the fourth/fifth attempt. 80% of successful new sales calls are made at the sixth/seventh attempt; do the maths!
7) Value your staff as much as your customers. Without either you will not be in business for long

In short, Following Jesus in Turbulent Times: Disciple-Making in the Arab World is a remarkable book and for less than a tenner for the paperback and much less for the Kindle book, I believe it should be widely read. The main thing to highlight is that this is a book about disciple-making, the Arab World is the backdrop to the book, but the principles it teaches could be applied anywhere. Church leaders in the UK would profit greatly from giving this a read.
The book is a medium format paperback of 130 pages. It is written in an easily accessible style, with plenty of illustrative stories which move the text along. That being said, this isn't an easy read, you need to stop and ponder at regular intervals. Thankfully, the chapters are short (less than ten pages on average) and so there is time to gather your thoughts and process what you have read.
The author, Hikmat Kashouh, is senior pastor of Resurrection Church in Beirut, a community of around one hundred believers who welcomed refugees from other Middle Eastern countries and which subsequently and saw their membership grow to several thousand.
In many ways, this is a conventional book on disciple-making, the sort of thing that most of us have read many times over, however, the background of reaching out to Muslim refugees brings an added dimension which makes this book really stand out. Even before getting to the nitty-gritty of disciple making, it gives a remarkable insight to the way that God is working in the Arab world; this is a challenging, but immensely encouraging book. There are things here which sound strange to readers accustomed to church in the West – even the author seems surprised at times.
As someone with a Baptist background and a PhD in theology from Birmingham University, I am not accustomed to casting out demons…
After an initial chapter introducing the author, the book proceeds by covering the sorts of subjects that one would expect to find in a book on disciple-making; witnessing, teaching, prayer and so on. However, these familiar subjects are given a degree of urgency and importance by the situation in which the author is writing. A few illustrative quotes will give a feel for what I mean.
Sometimes pastors complain to me that although they wish to broaden their ministry, their congregations are not embracing different ethnic groups within the church. My question to them is always, are people from other ethnic groups embraced on the leadership team? If your church in England or Germany or Sweden wants to reach out to refugee communities, are you willing to invite refugee believers and emerging leaders onto the leadership team? Ethnic divisions within the congregation are far more easily addressed when leaders model unity, trust and collaboration in a multi-ethnic team.
When new believers are welcomed into our church, they are nurtured and encouraged to grow. We expect them to start manifesting evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in their lives…
The prayerful life of Jesus and his disciples was not a religious obligation but a practice woven into their daily life. Prayer is communing with God and seeking his will in all life circumstances. There are plenty of stories of transformation based on powerful encounters with God through prayer and of Muslims experiencing the presence of God in a mighty way while praying.
"Give us our daily bread" is the paradoxical cry of the meek who will one day inherit the earth.
There is some content that you wouldn't find in most books on discipleship, such as s discussion on what sort of head covering a woman should where and why. There is a fascinating dissection of the complexities of inter-cultural and inter-religious marriages. Most significantly, there is a whole chapter given over to suffering, something which is absent from most Western books on discipleship, despite its prominence in the New Testament.
The whole book is a challenge to Western Christianity, but at times there are some overt comments which ring home:
It is thus safe to say that imitating Jesus requires both bold teaching and intentional actions. In a discussion with a Muslim friend who lives in the UK, he told me that his relatives and friends have little respect for Christian leaders. They find them weak, indecisive, shaky and uncertain; whereas Jesus in his teaching by word and deed was daring, courageous, brave and fearless. To be courageous does not mean to be polemic and attack other faiths (though this method is being used and has its pros and cons); it means proclaiming Christ boldly yet lovingly, using confident rhetoric accompanied by a transformational way of life and radical deeds of one that witness to the power of the words spoken. Followers of Jesus should be exhorted to imitate Jesus by teaching the ways of the kingdom through words and deeds.
So who should read this book? In short, I think that just about everyone should read it. It is encouraging and challenging, easily accessible and not very expensive. While it is aimed at church-leaders, it deserves a much wider readership. However, I would suggest that there are two categories of people who might particularly benefit from it.
- Church leaders who have significant Islamic populations in their catchment areas; especially where there are refugees and asylum seekers. If you are struggling with how to reach out to Muslims and how to integrate new Muslim-background believers into your church, you will find much that is helpful here.
- Church leaders who are making significant efforts to reach out to secular Brits (which should be all of them) especially when working across social and class boundaries. Although the content of this book is played out against a specific religious and cultural background, the principles it teaches are universally applicable. Some of the suggestions might need a little tweaking before they can be applied in Guildford, but the basic principles don't change.
In case you haven't realised, I think this is an excellent book.
I was provided with a copy of this book by the publishers in exchange for a review on this blog. I am grateful for this generosity, but have not allowed it to influence what I have written.

Hamburg Aviation and Hamburg Invest are promoting Hamburg as a centre of aviation at the Apex Expo, which opens its doors Monday in Los Angeles until September 12, 2019. More than 3,000 industry experts including representatives of aviation suppliers are meeting at the key aviation fair to check out the latest trends in aviation and to forge key contacts.
Growth in Hamburg's aviation sector
"The Apex Expo is an important date in the trade fair calendar for Hamburg Aviation. We traditionally start the application phase for the Crystal Cabin Award here and together with Hamburg Invest, we will hold talks with aviation suppliers who wish to expand to Europe," said Dr. Franz Josef Kirschfink, Managing Director of Hamburg Aviation. "During the run-up to the fair, we identified a number of companies that want to expand their business and are a good match for Hamburg," said Dr. Rolf Strittmatter, Managing Director of Hamburg Invest. "It is now a matter of convincing them with Hamburg Aviation of the business opportunities in Hamburg", he added.
Aviation industry on expansion course
Hamburg's aviation industry is currently on an expansion course. Airbus has hired 1,000 employees since last June and Lufthansa Technic has increased its workforce in the Hanseatic city by around 1,000 to around 8,800.

The relation between Lie symmetries of differential equations and the groups appearing in discretized versions of corresponding dynamical systems (such as Petri nets, Boolean networks, and automata representations) have never been investigated mathematically before in a systematic manner. Such study holds the potential for completely novel relationships to be discovered that allow methods to be transferred between these domains, and also to create an integrative mathematical framework to successfully address both continuous and discrete aspects of dynamics, something the has largely been lacking. In particular, the investigation in BIOMICS of simple Lie algebras interpreted in finite fields and the simple non-abelian groups (SNAGs) in the finite automata of corresponding discrete dynamical systems in relation to the Chevalley correspondence is a fundamental and completely novel direction for dynamical systems theory.
Recently we have sharpened the understanding of symmetries in this context [Attila Egri-Nagy, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, "Symmetries of Automata" 2011]: (1) any group of (state-)automorphisms of a reachable finite automaton must in fact be realizable by a subgroup of the semigroup of that automaton, and (2) this leads to Noether-type Krohn-Rhodes decomposition, using these symmetries and resultant invariants. In particular, all computations needed for the new coordinate system are present in (as divisors of) the automaton. This strongly suggests the Lie symmetries (and also groups in Lie groupoids) of the corresponding continuous system are indeed likely to occur in some form in the discretized version. BIOMICS will study examples of just such correspondences in order to shed new light on the nature of relation between discrete and continuous dynamical models.
Moreover, BIOMICS will cast these results in a rigorous category-theoretic framework formalizing the particular objects and morphisms in the discrete and continuous categories in such a way as to create adjunct functorial relationships between them to allow the transfer of structure and knowledge between the discrete and continuous mathematical descriptions in a coherent integrative framework. The formulation and extension of appropriate behaviour-realization adjunctions in this context will also connect this work, not only to models of biological systems, but to logics of computational and coalgebras in the specification of dynamic system stability that will enable the development of interaction machines as a mathematical category that can serve as a common ground for biological and computational systems. Such a mathematical framework would have immediate applications and widespread impact in the understanding and manipulation of biological and novel computational systems.
After BIOMICS, the resulting framework will also facilitate extension of dynamical systems theory to what has been required of mathematics for a long time by biology and computation but which it has sorely lacked – namely, an adequate and effective constructive dynamical systems theory of organizations in which the new entities are created and destroyed in ways whose parameters can not be fixed in advance, but in the course of self-production and self-maintenance interact with their environments, at various scales, which they both shaped and are shaped by.

Online book taking bets on LeBron's future shoe deal
By Darren Rovell
There's been much debate over which shoe company will land LeBron James, so it should come as no surprise that now you can actually bet on it.
An online sports book based in Costa Rica has tabbed Nike -- the No. 1 athletic shoe company -- as the favorite, with adidas a close second. Since posting the odds on Friday, BoDog Sports Book & Casino has taken in more than 750 wagers, ranging from its minimum prop bet of $5 to its maximum of $300, said site spokesman Lance Bradley.
The odds for Nike to secure James as an endorser currently are at 1-to-2, adidas is at 3-to-2 and other shoe companies are a 3-to-1 bet.
"The shoe debate is that big of an issue," Bradley said. "The whole sports world is talking about it, so why not give it a chance?"
Bradley says Nike is the favorite because they appear to have the inside track, but adidas still has a chance given that James' St. Vincent-St. Mary team currently wears the brand and adidas' director of basketball Sonny Vaccaro has established a close bond with the prep phenom who is the projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Sports books in Las Vegas cannot take action on such a bet because a shoe deal is not determined on the playing field.
The site allowed gamblers to bet how many points James would score in his high school's game against Oak Hill Academy on Dec. 12, which was watched on ESPN2 in more than 1.6 million homes. In the three days the odds were posted, the online sports book took in more than 1,200 wagers, Bradley said. That's more bets than any NBA prop bet has brought in to the online casino this season.
The site also has odds on what team will draft James. The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Denver Nuggets are favorites at 3-to-1 odds.
James is expected to eventually sign a shoe deal that will be worth at least $5 million per season.
