Heather has been my personal trainer for over a year now and she is by far the best trainer I have ever met! Her knowledge of physical training is impressive, her attitude is great, and she makes working out fun, rather than a chore. Heather has the talent, technique and tools that helped me increase strength and definition. She has an engaging personality that makes me want to work hard and push myself beyond what I thought I could ever do. Of course, it is hard work, but her motivation makes me want to achieve my goals through constant encouragement and tips. I am pleased with the improvement both in fitness and general health that I have achieved. She is personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Heather as a personal trainer!

Working out with heather is a wonderful experience! I have always been a gym goer; but she taught me specific exercises that helped me achieve my specific goals faster. Heather varied our routines with circuit training, Olympic lifting, target lifting, varied cardio routines, stretching exercises, and nutritional recommendations. With her instruction, I saw dramatic improvements in my strength, my endurance, and my physique!

I have been training with Heather for 6 months and have visibly noticed a difference in my strength and appearance. Being an asthmatic, Heather has helped to increase my endurance and ability to breathe overall. I will continue to train with Heather and would recommend her to anyone looking to get in shape.

I have been working with Heather for almost a year now. The results that I have achieved today are largely due to Heather's perfect combination of diverse methods, circuit training, and challenging, yet achievable goal setting. I had extreme lower back pain and she started me off slow, always encouraging me. She had me focus on strengthening and stretching my back to make it strong enough to handle workouts. If it wasn't for Heather, I would probably be overweight and spending my days in pain.

Brazil jeans
just when we were getting use to the crack epidemic comes a new pair of jeans to shock us. Sanna's Brazil Fashion has taken the low-rise jeans trend to the extremes with the Ultra Low-Rise Denim Bikini Pants. As if hip huggers were not revealing enough, now comes this pair of jeans from Brazil that act both as underwear and jeans.
The trend that started in Brazil has now caught on in Japan too. I sure hope that the bikini-jean craze does not catch on in Canada. Notice that these jeans are held up with just two little strings. No thank you! By the way these jeans that are made out of very little fabric retail for $86 US at sannas.jp. Where is the rest of the jean?

Setting up git on Windows and Ubuntu linux
DevOps engineers who not only code but also take care of cofigurations know that system administration is
little more painful than developing. I remember configuring an ASP.NET MVC 5 website on a Google compute engine instance running Windows server 2012 R2.
To avoid such pain, I prefer using check-lists and cheatsheets. One can refer back to them for later use.
This posts is a very short and intuitive guide for installing
git on Windows 10 and Ubuntu linux.
Yes, it's in the direction of what I need to do later!
Btw, Ionic can be controlled from a CLI on Windows. and there are 2 options to use from:
Setting up
git (and ignoring Console2) on Windows
Download the latest
git client from http://git-scm.com/download/win
Open the downloaded setup file:
On the 3rd screen it asks whether the icons for launching points such as desktop shortcut and quick launch be provided or not.
In case of pre-configured contextualization, a warning will be shown:
As a windows user, it's reasonable to use
git from window's command prompt.
line endings behaviour
Setting up
git on Ubuntu linux
sudo apt-get install git command and enter root password.
The system takes care of the installation after successfull authentication.
To check
git version on Ubuntu
So, now things are ready for some

"I came into my first appointment very skeptical. I've tried every type of treatment for my jaw. I mean EVERY. My first appointment Dr. Aldrich tapped my neck only 4 times and told me to try and open my jaw. I said, 'If this opens I'm going to cry.' And it did! And I did! 4 weeks later my migraines have stopped and my jaw is 80% better. I am shocked by the results I've seen. I am a believer! Thank you!!!" - Ashley, Patient
"I came to the clinic with upper back, neck, & shoulder pain. I had gone to a practitioner first and was only prescribed 'medications', but not any real or long term solutions. Dr. A provided me with the best treatment & long-term solutions. I know that I am in great hands here!" - Lakeesha, Patient
"Many patients come to see us and say, 'You are my last resort, I've been everywhere else.' To their amazement, they get well with us. Imagine what your life would be like if you try us first!"
"My job is helping you improve your quality of life, so you can enjoy the things that really matter! We know that what we do here is amazing and it works! "

After spending most of the day in "stronger-than-expected" territory, the DOW cratered in the last two hours of trading. On the whole, given that one major brokerage firm went bankrupt and another rushed to sell itself to avoid collapse, a 500-point fall (-4.4%) isn't that bad.
That said, other than the usual violent bear-market rally, it's hard to see the market's direction changing, especially now that AIG is now on death's door.

Important Points for Becoming a Successful Binary Options Trader
Today, I am going to reveal the utmost points that will lead any trader towards success.
- The first point is related to the experience, as it is commonly proved that practice makes man perfect. The more you will gain experience in the field of binary trade, the more are the chances to gain the expertise. For the new comers, binary trading might seem little tricky but with time they are able to make good return with each trade.
- The second point is regarding the information of the stock market. In order to gain the expertise in the related field, it is essential to understand the price shifts and changing conditions in the financial market. For that purpose, a trader can get the advantage of online guides, forums and other discussion sites that departs the related knowledge.
- As the tips are for the traders who want to be successful, hence, this point is greatly important to follow. The knowledge of the asset on which trade is conducted is something of great worth. It is the asset on which the success and failure depends upon. When you have ample knowledge of the respective asset, then only start trading. Never try to blindly invest in an unknown asset, of which trader has no knowledge.
- To become rich overnight is not a practical thing; it requires expertise and experience that will deliver the high profit return. Binary options trading is not an easy game for the beginners and there are situations when you lose your amount but it is the patience and knowledge that will move you on till the end.
- There are many binary options trading platforms that provide the demo accounts to the members that helps them in understanding the real situation without actually entering into real trade. This is very important for the trader to take advantage of.
- Most important point is to choose a reputable and reliable binary options broker with maximum features offered.
- There is a common belief that binary trading is like gambling and people invest recklessly without considering the asset. However, this is not the case and trader should always understand the asset and apply the suitable strategy to gain success.

Building Industry Year-End Review
Looking back to see how the homebuilding industry has adapted to, and overcome, the many challenges presented in 2018
By JULIA EDINGER
As 2018 comes to a close, it is imperative that we look back at the many challenges the homebuilding industry has endured, celebrate where we succeeded, and make plans for further growth in 2019.
Affordability has been one of the growing concerns for homebuyers and homebuilders alike this year, especially as millennial demand increases in the market. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index showed its lowest score of the past decade in 2018, at 57.1 percent, as proof of this trend.
To add to this, in January 2018, Forbes predicted that the millennial housing demand would continue to rise. Along with the demand came higher demands for technology, sustainability, and affordability. Millennials are now between 22-37 years old, and many are ready to buy their first homes. Some builders may find this demographic challenging to sell to, as they feel they are competing with the entirety of the internet. While it is true that the majority of millennial buyers searched for a home online last year, according to the NAR Real Estate in a Digital Age Report, 74 percent of millennials admitted they wanted help understanding the purchasing process. This is excellent news for those trying to sell to this demographic — it means the key to the millennial market is as simple as communication about the buying process.
Today's consumers are more particular about the features of their homes; if they are transitioning from renting to buying, they want it to be worth the commitment. In response to this, more builders are manufacturing homes with more advanced technology options than ever before. A variety of appliances can be controlled through different mobile apps—a relatively new home feature that is already in high demand, which builders are working diligently to meet.
Another recent change in the industry is the updated Title 24 standards. Going into effect in 2019, new standards will allow California to take the final steps towards achieving zero net energy (ZNE) for all new homes built by 2020. This is something California has been working towards for nearly a decade, and as the deadline for finalizing the process approaches, it is likely that other states will follow suit. Multiple states, including Washington, New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont are already starting to take action to move towards ZNE standards.
Sustainability is an important feature for all homes built this year across the country. As the modern buyer is more informed than ever, they want sustainable homes that are better for the environment and, of course, cheaper. LEED certification on new homes that meet energy and environmental design requirements are becoming more popular. Not only are they popular for the obvious benefits to the environment, but also because of their impact on the economy. According to USGBC, by the end of this year, LEED is expected to have contributed $29.8 billion to the Gross Domestic Product, and 386,000 jobs to the U.S. economy.
Perhaps the biggest change in the industry has been affordability, with lumber tariffs playing a large role. In 2017, the Trump administration imposed a tariff on Canadian lumber, arguing that Canadian wood is heavily subsidized, which harms American workers; conversely, American workers in the homebuilding industry were negatively impacted by the rising lumber prices. Thankfully, builders have found many innovative ways to adapt to this challenge as they are focusing on using less wood by implementing new framing techniques, turning to prefabricated housing, changing floor plans, and using reclaimed wood.
Although 2018 has certainly had substantial challenges, homebuilders have always found a way to adjust. A decade after the housing crisis, there are far more positive advancements than challenges on the horizon for the homebuilding industry.
Looking ahead to 2019, we can expect a rise in sustainable design, smart appliances, and LEED certified homes. We can also anticipate selling to a very informed consumer who knows exactly what they want from affordable, sustainable homes. Despite the challenges presented in terms of affordability, I believe homebuilders will certainly be able to adjust, as long as they keep the needs of the consumer in mind.
The year of 2018 has brought a lot of change, especially in terms of sustainability, and I look forward to seeing 2019 bring us even further.

Oh, Doctor. You had to do it, didn't you?
The Doctor, Nardole and Bill found themselves trapped in a futuristic space station, where the only way to breathe was to pay for it, in this evening's episode, Oxygen.Doctor Who: We tried the binaural 3D version of Knock Knock and here's what it was like
They were at the mercy of walking corpses and unfriendly spacesuits
And when Bill's helmet malfunctioned, the Doctor gave her his own – before leading her through the vacuum of space.
Miraculously, both characters (and Nardole) came out of the episode alive – but it cost the Doctor his sight.
Does the Doctor regenerate?
The teaser for episode six, titled Extremis, sees the Doctor getting a call from the Vatican, which is anxious to contain the worldwide leak of a dangerous, sacred text.
According to legends, anyone who has ever read the Veritas has immediately taken their own life, which wouldn't be a problem – except it's found its way onto the internet.
Crucially, the Doctor remains blind in this episode (and doesn't tell Bill about it), leading to much speculation as to whether they're going to fix this before he regenerates.
But there may be a twist in the tale.
Fans will note that the series 10 trailer shows the Doctor supposedly regenerating in an upcoming episode.
It appears to take place in a guarded chamber, next to a table that seems to contain a manuscript.
What if it's not a full regeneration, but the act of the Doctor healing himself? Maybe he'll grow a new hand while he's at it.
The Vault's mystery will soon be revealed
They could have spun it out for an entire series, but Stephen Moffat assures us that we'll discover the identity of the Vault's mysterious occupant in episode six, 'or you'd go mad'.
'It's the simplest thing I could do – the Doctor's got a locked door – but it's instantly fascinating,' he says. 'I mean, you'd only have to be staying in someone's house for a while and realise that one of the doors is locked to become impossibly curious about what's in there.'
So who is it?
John Simm's Master is the current favourite – although other contenders include Missy, Susan, Clara, Ashildr, River Song, or even the Doctor himself.
Bill deals with her first aliens
Aside from its overtly anti-capitalist message, the episode also touched on racism as Bill was forced to confront her prejudices when encountering the blue-skinned Dahh-Ren (Peter Caulfield).
It's unknown whether he was of the same species as Dorium Maldovar, who lost his head (literally) while assisting the Eleventh Doctor.
Either way, Bill was taken aback at the sight of her first actual alien, and her attempts to communicate by speaking slowly and loudly didn't do her any favours.
Despite insisting that she was 'usually on the receiving end' of abuse, Bill clearly found the whole experience rather embarrassing – although it didn't matter too much as it wasn't long before Dahh-Ren was attacked by the reanimated crew.
The Doctor and Bill have words; or rather, they don't
The trust between the Doctor and Bill was pushed almost to its limits this week when he seemingly abandoned her in the middle of the corridor to face hordes of the walking dead.
It was all a ruse, of course, designed to trick the artificial intelligent suits (who were listening to everything) but it really looked like Bill's number was up for a while.
Poignantly, her last conscious thoughts were of her mother – leading us to question whether Bill Sr. will somehow have a role later in the series.
The return of bananas girl
We only got a brief glimpse of Missy (Michelle Gomez) this week, but we do know that episode six will feature her in some way.
She's volatile, dangerous and you can't trust her an inch – but she's always fun, and at some point we're going to see her dabbing.
And if she doesn't turn out to be the person in the vault, perhaps she'll be the one who opens the door.

The world faces a climate crisis, the split between developing and developed countries increases even further, mental health issues rise. Individuals, organisations and society can leverage the potential that big data and knowledge management offer to counteract these developments and make the world a better place. The knowledge distilled from big data can be used to develop new practices to make transactional and transformational changes which will have positive effects on health, equity and partnership. Knowledge Management (KM) and Business Analytics are interdisciplinary fields connecting research studies focusing on technology and human agents and how their interactions create insights, support knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation. In the last decade we have seen the uptake and rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industry and AI-powered technologies have disrupted various work processes and practices. AI-powered applications change the way we learn, create and share knowledge. One of the prevalent intelligent technologies are conversational agents such as chatbots, digital employees or cognitive assistants that are not just employed to improve the customer service experience, but also help new hires in the onboarding and socialization process as they are always available, provide consistent contextualised information and knowledge about the company's rules and work processes and are especially extremely patient.
In line with this year's conference theme of "Making the world a better place", the main objective of this track is to present current research on KM and business analytics initiatives which contribute to improvements in our physical, social and organisational environment. The track welcomes papers that contribute to our understanding of 1) the role knowledge management and business analytics for equity, sustainability and well-being; 2) the way data and knowledge management can contribute to enhancing different forms of organisational performance; 3) approaches to knowledge management and AI-powered technologies that support decision processes at organisational and individual levels; 4) social and behavioural factors influencing information and knowledge management, 5) research contributions discussing success and failure stories.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Information and knowledge management for sustainable growth and development
- How knowledge management and business analytics enable organisations to make the world a better place
- Business analytics for knowledge creation
- Knowledge Management and business analytics as an integral part of organisational work and decision making;
- Organisational, technological, socio-economic, societal perspectives of business intelligence and knowledge management
- Sustainable data analytics and knowledge management practices
- The role of AI-powered technologies in knowledge management
- Challenges and opportunities of sharing data and knowledge in organisations and communities
- The role of individual information and knowledge seeking and sharing for societal practices
- Data privacy, protection and governance
- Management of knowledge workers and resources;
- Business and societal value of BA and KM initiatives
- Social networks for exploiting knowledge or creating intelligence
- Mature KM solutions

Basic Attention Token (BAT) is a utility token built on the Ethereum network that is meant to improve the current broken and opaque digital advertising model. It is seeking to accomplish this by providing a new medium of exchange between advertisers, publishers, and users.
According to the BAT team, digital advertising has been taken over by middlemen and trackers, and users end up taking the brunt of the damage. Up to 50% of the average user's mobile data is used to load ads and trackers, costing as much as $23 a month in data charges. Ads can take about 5 seconds to load on average, which significantly slows down webpages, and can decrease phone battery life by as much as 21%. User privacy is also violated, as large media sites can host up to 70 trackers.
Traditional publishers are also hurting under the current model. Large corporations like Google and Facebook take 73% of all ad revenue and 99% of all growth. It also doesn't help that over 600 million phones and PCs across the globe now run ad-blocking software. Advertisers are losing because they don't receive good information on what they are paying for and targeting can be poor, making users more likely to ignore their ads.
The BAT team believes the solution to the problem is a decentralized digital advertising exchange based on the blockchain. They want BAT to become the future web standard that protects user privacy while solving the problem of monetizing publisher content.
Basic Attention Token Pricing, Market Cap and Volume
The Basic Attention Token was launched in a crowdsale in May 2017 with the goal of raising the equivalent of $24 million USD in ETH. The ICO sale generated significantly more money than their original goal, raising $35 million USD worth of Ethereum. There is finite supply of 1.5 billion BAT and it is distributed as follows:
- 200 million is held in a development team pool
- 300 million is in a user growth pool to incentivize adoption
- 1 billion was made available during the token launch
The ICO price was 1 ETH for 6,400 BAT. In June 2017, right after the ICO ended, the price of BAT was listed at $0.16 with a market capitalization of $170 million USD. Like most crypto assets, its value shot up in the last quarter of 2017 and its market cap reached ~$900 million USD around the same time. Its value plummeted in January 2018 and, like many other digital currencies, it has experienced periods of significant volatility.
How Basic Attention Token Works
Basic Attention Token is a component of Brave—a fast, open source, privacy-centric web browser that blocks third party ads and trackers. The Brave web browser uses a ledger system to anonymously measure user attention. BAT is the medium of exchange for an anonymous and secure opt-in advertising system based within the Brave browser. It takes Brave's mission to the next phase by connecting advertisers, publishers, and users. This creates a new advertising marketplace that rewards users and protects their privacy, while providing higher yield to publishers and better conversion to advertisers.
Advertisers give publishers BAT based on the measured attention of users their ads receive. Users receive BAT for participating. They can donate the BAT they earn back to publishers or use it on the platform. The system provides the following benefits to users:
Users – security and privacy when viewing ads coupled with improved relevance and performance, and a share of the profits.
Publishers – better reporting, improved revenue, and less fraud.
Advertisers – better attribution, improved customer attention, and less fraud.
The value of BAT is denominated by user attention. In its early stages, BAT will be specifically tied to the Brave browser and verified publishers. Ads served to users will be rate-limited and tied to active windows and tabs. The Brave browser measures attention in real time as users view ad content in an active tab. Ads are anonymously matched with user interests using machine learning algorithms, which means more relevant ads.
Brave will work with advertisers and publishers to establish best practices for calculating attention. Currently, the developers are considering a metric that measures that total views an ad receives in a certain number of seconds. They will come up with more cost-per-action models as the project develops.
Publishers will receive the biggest share of the total ad revenue. Users will also receive rewards which they can use to pay for premium content or services on the Brave platform. The developers expect users will also give some of the tokens they earn back to publishers, further adding to their revenue. Using cryptography, Brave will mitigate ad fraud and provide better client-side integrity. Much of the infrastructure required to launch BAT is complete. Users can download the Brave Browser for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, or Android to try out the system.
Basic Attention Token vs. Other Cryptocurrencies
Basic Attention Token is attempting to fix the current digital advertising model. That goal alone sets it apart from a majority of the cryptocurrencies in existence, because there are not many other coins on the market within the digital advertising space. The system has a number of use cases, which include:
Specific targeted advertising – a lot of small business owners have modest advertising requirements that may be served by tokens they acquire through regular browsing. They can create highly targeted ads for people of a niche subculture, for example.
A subscription alternative – BAT could unlock a new revenue stream for publishers with premium content ordinarily only offered to subscribers. For instance, quality videos or audio can be restricted to users who make a BAT micropayment. Or users may make a micropayment to share premium content with five of their friends.
Comment curation – good comments may be "upvoted" using BAT to give them more credibility. To prevent abuse, token transfers can be verified as coming from real people instead of bots. The right to post comments may also be purchased using BAT to curb spam or abusive comments.
Powering the Brave ecosystem – BAT may be used to purchase digital goods like data services, high resolution photos, or publisher applications that a user needs on a one-time basis. Many publishers have interesting content and tools that users want to use, but a subscription would be too costly. Using the BAT system, publishers could give users access to a small part of their archive or to one of their tools for a limited time.
New app economy – BAT may be used in games and apps built by publishers within the Brave ecosystem.
Buying, Storing and Selling BAT
BAT can be acquired from a wide range of exchanges, both small and large. The most popular exchanges where BAT tokens are traded include Binance, Bittrex, Bitfinex, ChaoEx, EtherDelta, Gate.io, Huobi, Liqui, Livecoin, and Upbit. Bittrex currently has the highest trading volume for BAT. The BAT team has not encouraged or facilitated the trading activity taking place in any of the listed exchanges.
BAT is an ERC20 token that can be securely stored on Ethereum wallets like MyEtherWallet, Mist, Jaxx, Exodus, and MetaMask. BAT can also be stored in popular hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S and Trezor or on an exchange wallet. There is no official BAT wallet yet, and the BAT team has not recommended a particular wallet.
Basic Attention Token Liquidity
The BAT team periodically gives away tokens from the user growth pool to users who install the Brave browser and enable Brave Payments. As a result, BAT has a relatively low liquidity compared to other utility tokens on the market. It is important to remember that Basic Attention Token is a utility token and not an asset. Holding BAT does not represent ownership of anything. It is still too early to tell if BAT will be successful as a utility token for a new system of digital advertising, but its use case is promising.

All roads lead to Planet
- What I like most about Design School Kolding is definitely the solidarity among the students, but also the relationship with the faculty and the staff. You quickly settle down and help each other – it's like family, says Pernille Karlsen, who is currently studying for her Master's degree in Communication Design on the 'Design for Planet' line of study.
And family is indeed what Pernille has missed, for she is a widely travelled lady who has spent the last few years in New York, USA, where she completed a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at the State University, NY.
With her first degree under her belt she landed a job in the marketing department of a medium-sized company, but she soon realised that she wanted to do more. She wanted to make a difference – in particular within the area of the environment. When she had the choice between a volunteer job in Costa Rica and a Master's degree in Design at Design School Kolding, she chose the latter:
- I was offered a volunteer position in Costa Rica, but I had also applied to Design School Kolding on the 'Design for Planet' line of study. I had never heard of it before but I soon discovered that it was brand new. I thought it sounded fascinating and something that was right up my alley. I missed Denmark and my family, so when I was admitted to the programme in Kolding it was obvious that I had to come home.
Pernille Karlsen appreciates the knowledge she gained at the State University of NY which she can apply constructively to her Master's studies, so she can now concentrate on what she is passionate about:
- Graphic design is not my only pursuit, of course. Sustainability is my main focus, and it offers many more opportunities, she concludes.
From business back to school
Another Master's student enrolled in the 'Design for Planet' programme has a wealth of experience from the textile industry. As former CEO of two companies Anne Mygind is already well versed in running a business, from production to product. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Design Management from IBA in Kolding, and after graduation she went straight into business and started her first company:
- I ran the company, which sold garments to the home health care sector, for 10 years. Subsequently I launched a new company that also sold functional clothing, to the Police among others. My focus has always been on function and sustainability. The garments should not be produced based on the 'use-and-discard' concept. The product life is the essential feature – and that aspect is also in focus in my new freelance company, which develops products for children, which I run parallel to my studies, Anne Mygind explains.
Hungry for more knowledge Anne Mygind's desire to strengthen her focus on sustainability, in particular within the field of industrial design, made her initially apply to Design School Kolding's Professional Master's programme. However, she soon realised that she and her new business would benefit more from a Master's in 'Design for Planet', so she changed her mind and was accepted on that line of study.
- The new lines of study were all super attractive. In principle I would have liked to enrol in all the programmes, but I chose 'Design for Planet' due to its focus on sustainability. I have met numerous highly competent and inspiring teachers each with his or her strong area of expertise. Acquiring new knowledge and engaging in sparring enriches the learning experience as well as the supervision. There is room for me to incorporate tasks from my business into the projects, which is really cool, says Anne Mygind.
Open House
During Design School Kolding's Open House on 30 January from 10–17 you will have the opportunity to learn more about the school's three-pronged Master's Degrees: 'Design for People', 'Design for Planet' and 'Design for Play'.

Over at The Auteurs' Notebook, in this week's FORGOTTEN, all that can be explained, will be explained.
Over at The Auteurs' Notebook, in this week's FORGOTTEN, all that can be explained, will be explained.
I think this one is a pretty good example of the merits of watching minor, or even bad films. THE GLASS WEB is a Jack Arnold noir made right after IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE and featuring Kathleen Hughes, who had played a telephone repairman's slutty girlfriend in that film ("George always has a healthy appetite,"), as a blackmailing vixen.
The plot is a retread of THE BIG CLOCK, mixed up in various ways that don't constitute improvements, but might just about pass muster, and the whole thing is set in the world of TV. Edward G Robinson kills Hughes and tries to frame everybody in sight, while also producing a TV play for his Crime of the Week show, recreating the murder. None of it's exactly inspired, and the moment I lost faith was when William John Forsythe, having gone over his relationship with Hughes as she puts the bite on him, has a flashback in which he revisits all the events we've just heard about, learning nothing new…
But then there's this scene. Forsythe goes for a walk, panic-stricken after discovering Hughes dead. Arnold, who has restrained himself on the 3D shock effects, suddenly cuts loose and throws object after object into our faces, like an angry chimpanzee operating a tennis serve machine. It's goofy and fun, but also effective at showing Forsythe's sudden disorientation and vulnerability. And it's the only time I've seen a filmmaker hold back on the 3D all through a film, and then go NUTS.
Too bad the film's not better. Hughes, completely venal and without sympathetic traits, nevertheless emerges as the most appealing character because she shows signs of life. Robinson's activities as an office sneak, maneuvering against Forsythe to boost his own career, are more compelling than his actions as murderer, suggesting that the film might have made a good NETWORK-style assault on television culture and the workplace, rather than a pallid noir imitation. Weirdly, it's more shocking to see Robinson hinting darkly that his colleague is having marital problems, undercutting his boss's confidence in the guy, than it is to see him dispose of his mistress (because let's face it, Eddie was ALWAYS doing THAT).

Dr Oz: News Anchor Katie Couric
Dr Oz had a blast visiting global news anchor Katie Couric as she returned to The Today Show. He was thrilled to welcome Katie to his own stage for the first time. Katie and Dr Oz joked about anchor Matt Lauer giving Katie a hard time upon her return for her inability to stick to her time queues.
Dr Oz then asked Katie about a picture she posted at 4 AM. She wanted to show everyone what she really looked like when she had to get up early to go in for work, and it certainly turned out to be a pretty funny picture! There's no denying that Katie is one busy woman. In addition to her job with Today, Katie also does a political Podcast and a web series dedicated to quick and healthy meals. She also did a documentary for National Geographic.

Sierra Nevada Health Care System nursing home receives 3-star rating
The Veterans Affairs Sierra Nevada Health Care System recently announced its nursing home received three stars as part of its annual performance rating.
Spokeswoman Glenna Smith said the announcement comes after VA extended its 18-month record of transparency disclosures by making public for the first time its annual nursing home ratings for every facility in the country.
The data shows that, overall, VA's nursing home system — composed of more than 130 community living centers — compares closely with private sector nursing homes, even though the department on average cares for sicker patients in its nursing homes than do private facilities.
Smith said the overall star rating for VA's nursing homes compared to the 15,487 private sector nursing homes rated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows that VA has a significantly lower percentage (34.1 percent lower) of one-star, or lowest rated, facilities than the rest of the nation.
"VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System is aggressively working each day to improve the quality of care provided to our Veterans," said Charles Benninger, acting director. "We are proud to be one of the 60 facilities that demonstrated significant improvement in the quality of care we provide in the Community Living Center."
The best comparison of VA nursing homes to the private sector is in the overall star rating. Smith said by using that overarching and most important metric, VA's performance compares very closely with that of the private sector.
Specifically, VA nursing homes serve a much higher proportion of residents with conditions such as prostate obstruction, spinal cord injury, mental illness, homelessness, PTSD, combat injury, terminal illness, and other conditions rarely seen in private nursing homes.
Also, Smith said private sector nursing homes admit patients selectively, whereas — unlike the private sector — VA will not refuse service to any eligible veteran, no matter how challenging the veteran's conditions are to treat. In other words, VA nursing homes often house residents with more complex medical needs that private sector facilities will not accept, which makes achieving good quality ratings more challenging.
As a result, VA nursing homes at times rate lower than private sector facilities on specific metrics such as pain and type of treatment. Despite that fact, she said VA nursing homes compare well with private sector facilities in overall facility rankings.
Additionally, VA nursing homes have a higher staff-to-resident ratio than private sector facilities, meaning residents in VA facilities get more direct attention from nursing home staff than do residents in the private sector.

This cherry compote is great over some yogurt for a quick and easy sweet treat, or as a filling for pie, though you may want to double the recipe if you're baking. Feel free to adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of your cherries. Unless you are buying cherries at the height of their season, we recommend using frozen.
1. In a bowl, stir the cornstarch, lemon zest, and nutmeg, if using. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, cook the cherries with sugar and ⅓ cup of water. Bring to a boil and stir over high heat until all the sugar is dissolved and some of the liquid has evaporated.
3. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook until the mixture boils and starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator. Eat with yogurt.

Ann's Tips and Tricks
You can also use sour cherries or fresh cherries to make this compote. Sour cherries will need a lot more sugar.
Although I'm not usually a fan of one-task kitchen gadgets, treat yourself to a cherry/olive pitter. It makes light work of the slow messy task of pitting fresh cherries (and olives).

At age 89, Dick Button has decided it is time to part with many fabulous pieces that form part of his vast collection.
The Dick Button Skating Collection, a diverse mix of paintings, prints, posters, sculptures, costumes, and folk art that honor the long history of skating will go under the hammer on Jan. 25 and 26. Collectors and investors from all walks of life will have the opportunity to bid on more than 90 items that form part of the auction, which also includes artwork and one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.
"I want to sell my apartment in New York City, but I can't do that with all the things that are there. So I am selling a number of items to be able to do that," said Button who began collecting skating memorabilia in 1947.
"I went to Stockholm for the World Championships and Cecile von Mendelsohn-Bartholdy, the wife of Gillis Grafström, offered me her entire collection. My father said he would buy it for me if I would like it but I said, 'what would I do with all those things?' So she gave me one Dutch tile from the 18th century – I now have 31 of them. She also gave me a print and I was so fond of it I started collecting."
Among other items, the skating memorabilia includes a pair of skates worn by Charlotte Oelschägel (after whom the skating move "Charlotte" was named), which she personally gave to Button for his collection (Item 1050). Oelschägel was the first figure skater to be featured in a motion picture.
Antique skates and costumes Button wore during his career with Ice Capades (Lots 1077/1078) are also up for grabs, as is the torch he carried in the relay leading up to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games (Lot 1086).
Some of the artwork up for auction includes a five foot wide ice skating scene, "Snow Storm Threatening," (1854) by Regis Francois Gignoux; "Skating on the Schuylkill" by American artist William Willcox, showing 113 highly detailed figure skaters on the ice; and rare skating scenes by Currier & Ives.
You can view the full catalogue online at brunkauctions.com. Information on live, phone or absentee bidding can also be found on the website. For a private viewing prior to the auction or for more information, contact Nan Zander at 828-254-6846 or email: email@example.com.
Absentee bids are open now. If you wish to bid by telephone, register online and five minutes before the Lot you wish to bid on goes live, you will receive a call from the auction house.
Shipping costs are not included. In-house shipping is available or you can arrange your own. There is also a buyer's premium that is not included.

You may have put your paycheck to good use on a few unbelievable sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But there's no better investment of your hard–earned money than to donate some of it to a good cause today in honor of Giving Tuesday. Recurring gifts, when possible, are the best idea: These causes need your support all year round.
Here we've gathered a list of national and local organizations that not only support a number of admirable causes but are also vital crusaders against the troubling policies proposed by our incoming president-elect. Trust us, there can be no better feeling than helping others in need while simultaneously sticking it to the man.
Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood is high on the list of potential targets of this incoming administration, despite its invaluable service as a provider to both men and women for reproductive health care, sexual education, and other services. Feeling extra sassy? Make your donation in the name of Vice President-elect Mike Pence, a staunch anti-choice advocate. He'll get a notification of your kindness, and you'll get some sweet, sweet satisfaction.
She Should RunFor now, the dream of a gender-equal cabinet à la Canada has been put on hold. But that shouldn't discourage you from doing all you can to help more ambitious young women run for office in the future. She Should Run helps connect female political hopefuls with the necessary resources and organizations to help them get elected into office. Remember, equal representation in government is the first step toward achieving equal rights.
NARAL Pro-Choice AmericaOn Giving Tuesday, a supporter of NARAL Pro-Choice America, an advocacy group that lobbies against abortion restrictions and supports pro-choice politicians, will be matching all contributions to its cause. Think of it as a two-for-one sale!
American Civil Liberties UnionAs soon as Donald Trump was elected president, the ACLU pledged to uphold the U.S. Constitution and "fight against any encroachment on our cherished freedoms and rights." As Trump continues to attack his detractors and critical news organizations on Twitter, supporting those who will defend our freedom of speech and basic human rights is as urgent as ever. Plus, the ACLU is pretty great on Twitter. They've got your back—let's get theirs.
Center for Reproductive Rights
The fight for reproductive freedom isn't limited to the United States. This organization defends a woman's choice worldwide, litigating cases around the world to help expand access to basic reproductive health care on a global scale.
National Organization for Women Instead of buying another feminist T-shirt from Etsy, spend your money on a contribution to this all-encompassing national organization that focuses on a variety of women's issues, including reproductive rights, equal pay, combating domestic violence, and LGBT rights.
DonorsChoose.org Trump's pick for secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, has been called "the most ideological, anti–public education nominee" since the position has been a cabinet-level post. Translation: Public schools are about to need a whole lot of help. DonorsChoose.org helps support public education through pegging your donations to a specific classroom project. Your money could help an underfunded class buy new books, supplies, and music instruments, or plan a field trip to a local museum. The best part? Classrooms send their donors adorable thank-you notes.

POSTED IN: Legislative Updates,
House Bill 961, was heard in the House Health and Mental Health committee. This bill delays a person from qualifying for Medicaid for 6 months after they become a resident. This would of course lead to higher uninsured, which then would lead to more no pay ED visits. Our lobbyist testified against this bill.

missy & seth in france
water water
Monday, April 24. 2006
we were panicked, when last i spoke to you. missy talked to our upstairs neighbor about the hot water situation. sounded like she'd lost her hot water too, and was pretty mad about the whole thing. all the other neighbors, including our landlady and next-doors (the ones in charge of our heat), were away on vacation. landlady to return at the end of the month. nervousing news.
we got used to boiling water on the stove every couple days to take tiny baths.
then missy caught our next door neighbors coming home and tried to grill them about it. they have bourgeois accents and speak fast. they play with our 19th century fusebox for a bit and tell us they'll help us call the rental company on monday. very nice of them. and about an hour later missy's washing her hands and notices that the water is slightly warmer from the hot tap. somehow, some way our heater got turned on again.
i'm not asking any questions. i have my ideas, but i won't risk jinxing things. boy oh boy warm showers are great! i took them way too much for granted before. no longer.
well, maybe i'm jinxed anyway. missy has just finished giving me a haircut. i'm good and itchy. and the construction workers outside just buzzed up to say they're shutting off the water for "5 minutes" to switch over the lines or something. an hour later... i'm curious if they'll get around to it before quitting time.
it means the bathroom is off limits too.
really, i'm only whining. it's something to blog about since most of what fills up my life isn't barely interesting. but i ought to be used to random interruptions and outages from my time at oak st. at its worst there was something new and annoying every day for a month. i hear it's the european way. a little bit of chaos to give spice to your day and remind you what's not important. we have electricity brownouts here all the time. wanadoo upstream DNS breaks fairly regularly for hours. that anything works at all should be considered a miracle. i don't mean that sarcastically. one forgets the amount of progress that's been made when your own history is so recent.
i try to put it in perspective by thinking about the same streets i walk on having been home to lepers and littered with chamberpot dumpings out of second story windows. cobblestones were revolutionary. probably the same stones being dug up now to run new water and fiber lines. for that matter, avignon is the site of the oldest evidence of human construction in france. in 600 BC people were building fort towns on the hill. things are pretty good now, comparatively. no more "god turned off the fish supply and it looks like it's going to be a cold winter."
update: it's 6pm, all the workmen have left, and the water's still off. hee hee.

Weight loss can be achieved by numerous ways and we can achieve the desired results. Walking is one of the simplest and basic form of exercise which everyone can do. If you are new to fitness or just pondering on what to do to get fit, I suggest start walking. That's the first thing we do and should in life. Humans were built to walk 40 miles a day and hunt saber tooth lion.
How many kilometers should one walk is a very vague question, the reason I say this because it all depends on what level of fitness are you at? If I say you need to walk 10 kilometers a day to lose fat and if you have never even walked 5 kilometers at a stretch in your life, it's not going to happen. So, I would say start by 1.5 kilometer a day and gradually increase the distance. Once you're able to walk 5 kilometers try doing it in lesser time. I would say 5 to 7 kilometers is a great mark, but again it all depends on your level of fitness.
Weight loss is just a byproduct of your constant effort and consistency in training. There are far more beautiful accomplishments which can be experienced while going through this body transformation or weight loss journey. Some of the benefits are improved stamina, being energetic all day, positive outlook towards life and other challenges you take up. Remember if you look good, you feel good and if you feel good everything around you automatically turn out to be good.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'NPCs and Creatures' started by Suika Ibuki, Apr 3, 2013.
Seriously though, novakids never though of using a agenda ?
Anodyne, a painful medical drug....
Love the idea though, shame they picked the novakids over this, far more.... awesome.
and sexy, dat female anodyne....
There's a game by the same name in the current Humble Bundle. It's bretty good.
The novakids are cool and all but...the Anodynes are WAY better.
Calm down! This is not the same person who posted in the other thread you bumped by saying "Don't Bump," and is actually contributing an opinion relevant to the thread's subject.
An opinion which I am biased to disagree with, but can understand because Anodynes are cool.
Who says that we can't have both? I would LOVE to have the Anodynes as an alternate evolution of the Novakids. It would only serve to enrich the background of these mysterious creatures.
Caps comes off as angry. Angry isn't the right word, I'm annoying.
I don't mind that this topic has been revived, it's the fact that none of these new users are reading the rules.
I'm not a new user, i read the rules and i was just expressing my opinion, you know, the kind of stuff you would do on a forum.
It's not like you're forced to read it anyway so i don't understand your point.
The fact that you're not a new user kinda makes it worse.
If you've already been here you should know that bumping topics is frowned upon.
It's okay to bring back a necro-topic if you're at least saying things relevant to the thread's topic, and while you did, I don't really think it was necessary to bring this up from a six page slumber to essentially say, "I like this."
I'm sure Suika and Bietol appreciate the complement, but I think that comment would have been better suited for a PM or a post on their wall, not a bump.
If you'd like to reply please PM me, I don't want to derail this any further.
THIS. Wouldnt say as an alternate evolution, but having both the Novakids and the Anodynes in Starbound would be pretty cool. Greco-Roman culture is amazing and should totally be implemented in the game. Imagine a Anodyne spartan or an Anodyne legionare? Would just be too good. I certainly would love to see them ingame. Their appearance is ok. Maybe some more detail on their face? or a bit more of those sturdy crystals around their bodies perhaps?
Nevertheless, they're awesome as they are.
Awesome i tell you.
My pleasure!
All of your races look amazing!
I think these guys look much cooler than the Novakids
These characters seem similar to the nova kids.
To me both are equally good races and should both be implemented in the game.
The Novakids were based on these characters, if memory serves.
I strongly feel both should be in the game
Yes they were.
And yes they should. Anodyne spartan.. come on, awesome armor... awesome weaps.. awesome culture/architecture.
Love this idea I really feel this would have been better than the Novakid but thats probably just because I'm really into greek/roman stuff Anyways would love to see these along with the Novakids in the game as a sort of sub race to each other and they are very friendly to each other

The seeming disarray of this particular moment in foreign affairs results not only from the potential unwinding of long-standing alliances and relationships, but also the intertwining of seemingly discrete geopolitical shifts and megatrends. Russia's increased election interference is enabled by the spread of digital networks. The rise of a global middle class inhibits progress on climate change. And so too, now, does the return of heightened geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China threaten to complicate the rise of cities on the global stage.
Recognizing Global Competition
In a much-noted 2014 essay in Foreign Affairs, the international relations scholar Walter Russell Mead highlighted "the Return of Geopolitics." A year later, in those same pages, UN Special Envoy for Climate Change and Cities and former mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the arrival of the "Metropolitan Generation." While seemingly at odds with each other, with Mead's piece foreseeing a future shaped by heightening tensions between states and Bloomberg's identifying the power and importance of cities, both essays have worn well since publication.
Heightened geopolitical tensions have demonstrated that the state is here to stay and friction between states is not in recess. Meanwhile, urban areas continue to grow, both in terms of population and land cover, and cities have become increasingly active voices on the world stage. These parallel tracks threaten to converge, however, with increasing tension in the U.S.-China bilateral relationship.
For decades, U.S. policy sought to integrate China into the existing world order. Diplomats and policymakers encouraged a peaceful rise of China as a regional player and, eventually, a global power within the constraints provided by international organizations and long-standing alliances. "The U.S. has supported China's global integration," wrote Joshua Meltzler and Neena Shenal in a February, 2019, Brookings Institute report, "with the expectation that as China benefited from the international economic system, including WTO membership, it would become a responsible stakeholder—where China would work with the United States." This approach led to a strengthening of the economic relationship, and also of links between educational institutions and subnational governments, both state and municipal.
But despite significant cooperation on issues like climate change, the limits of this approach were becoming apparent during the Obama Administration. Bill Burns, the former U.S. deputy secretary of state, recently observed that by Obama's second term, "China's ambition to recover its accustomed primacy in Asia had already upended many of our comfortable post-Cold War assumptions about how integration into a U.S.-led order would tame, or at least channel, Chinese aspiration." This growing realization among policymakers was codified in the Trump Administration's National Security Strategy, released at the end of 2017. Economic, political and military competition, including with Russia and China, the report observed, will "require the United States to rethink the policies of the past two decades—policies based on the assumption that engagement with rivals and their inclusion in international institutions and global commerce would turn them into benign actors and trustworthy partners. For the most part, this premise turned out to be false."
With simmering tensions simmering over territorial disputes in around maritime borders and the South China Sea, and fueled by a new trade wars, the relationship's dynamic moved quickly from one of integration and cooperation to outright to one of competition. By summer 2019, a new Cold War seemed to be afoot, supposedly leaving little untouched. "The United States and China are contesting every domain, from semiconductors to submarines and from blockbuster films to lunar exploration," led a May 2019 cover story for the usually level-headed Economist.
Among the domains for which the shift in U.S.-China relations is going to be tricky are U.S. cities and the city networks to which they belong. A protracted trade war undoubtedly has implications for the economies of many American cities, whether they are structured around information and communications technology, manufacturing, or ports and shipping. On a trip to China in 2018, Los Angeles mayor acknowledged as much, observing in the face of heightening trade disputes, "We have closely integrated economies, closely integrated cultures and closely integrated geography … We hope to be the leading Chinese city in America for investment, tourism and students. We already are in terms of make-up of the population."
The decisions American mayors are forced to take among the deepening of tensions will in fact reach beyond their obvious economic interests. Over the last decade, mayors have established themselves as policy advocates-cum-diplomats. They petition international organizations, attend United Nations summits, and organize in support of and around international agreements. Mayor Garcetti, for instance, has elevated Los Angeles as a global leader in the collective efforts of cities to confront global challenges, including around both climate change and cyber issues. And Los Angeles has become a leading voice in international networks and platforms such as C40 Climate Cities and the Urban 20.
Notably, these platforms, and many others, include both American and Chinese cities. C40 Climate Cities, for instance, includes more than twenty American and Chinese cities in one way or another, as does the global network Local Governments for Sustainability. And understandably so. Any transnational effort focused on climate change and the reduction of carbon emissions in particular would seek impact in the United States and China. The pivotal roles of the United States and China in meeting global challenges also means, however, a more treacherous diplomatic terrain for cooperating cities amid a chillier bilateral relationship.

Remembering Global Cooperation
The Cold War comparison, deployed so quickly these days, may well have its limits, but for mayors and city networks facing an increasingly tense international environment, Cold War history may also provide useful guidance. International urban-focused efforts did suffer for in the twentieth century for geopolitical competition and ideological divides. The Congrès internationaux d'architecture moderne (CIAM), led by among others Le Corbusier, Josep Lluís Sert, and Richard Neutra, was perhaps the most influential international urban planning effort of the mid-twentieth century, but by the mid-1930s was banned in both Germany and the Soviet Union.
But while CIAM may well have suffered for ideological divides - both before and after the war - international nongovernmental organizations in fact increased during the first years of the Cold War, with the number of such organizations increasing from 477 in 1940 to nearly 800 in 1950. From 1945 to 1950, a significant number of these organizations focused on development and the environment, policy arenas familiar to city networks today. "Despite the unmistakable signs of geopolitical tensions, individuals and organizations from the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as from other countries, were continuing to meet," wrote the Harvard historian Akria Iriye, who outlined the history of such cooperative efforts in Global Community, "They shared information and exchanged ideas, thereby confirming the persistence of transnational endeavors in the immediate postwar years." Of note is not simply the existence of such endeavours, but their policy focus. While a large number of the notable cooperative efforts focused on education and reconstruction in the wake of World War II, others, particularly those among the scientific community, focused on global threats. The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, for example, founded in 1957, included scientists and experts from both sides from both sides of the Cold War divide focused on the elimination of nuclear weapons. Today, the most pressing of those goals is climate change, and just because the relations across the Pacific are getting chillier, does not mean the oceans are not warming.
To be sure, examples of ongoing transnational cooperation come with a serious historical warning label. That the global community persisted amid the Cold War does not mean, Iriye points out, "that great power rivalries and tensions did not intrude on the activities of international organizations." Nations expelled relief organizations for fear of influence campaigns. Intelligence agencies sought influence within IOs or, at times, funded the establishment of new ones. Such efforts are all the more tempting today as the amplification power of networks provides the opportunity for both shared progress and great power influence. In other words, cooperation on global goals might be more important than ever, but practitioners of city diplomacy will have to so with a heightened awareness for international and national politics.
Mayors and city diplomats are fond of quoting global figures around advancing urbanization, but are shy as it comes to heightened tensions between states or superpowers. But they can't be avoided entirely. China, Bill Burns observed, is a power "whose moment had come." To the degree that the chilling of U.S. – China relations influences cooperation on issues such as trade and climate change, the effects will be felt in cities in both countries and beyond. And while rivalry, even bellicosity, need not mean the end of networked cooperation, it likely requires that the players understand that the terms of the great game have changed.
