In the words of my friend Annie, OH. DEAR. GUSSIE.
This is my all-time favorite, go-to burger. It is so good. So, so good. It is what I like to call a life changer. I'm not even exaggerating.
I know there are some burger traditionalists out there, and I assure you I am not one of them- nor is this recip. I do respect and honor and offer to eat any traditionalist's burgers… anytime!
What you'll need:
Ground Beef- the best burgers come from 80/20 beef. I rarely indulge on that kind of fat content, so here I'm using 85/15. Still not great for you, but you need the fat for the flava.
Cheese- about an ounce per burger. I'm using blue cheese and brie today.
Bacon- about a slice per burger
Onion- 1 medium sized onion will do for 6 burgers
Salt and Pepper
Cook the bacon. This is my favorite part of any recipe. The cooking and smelling and tasting of the crispy meat candy.
Wipe the drool off of your chin.
Drain all but on teaspoon of the fat from the skillet.
Chop your onion pretty finely and drop it in the pan.
Let it get all sweet and caramelized. I'm drooling. Seriously.
Put your cheese in some bowls large enough to accommodate their buddies, bacon and onion.
Blue Cheese and super soft and creamy Brie
Some day, I'll go into my extreme love affair with cheese. But for now, back to burgers.
Chop up the bacon, and add that and the cooked onion to the cheese. Separate the bacon and onion evenly between two cheeses. Or throw it all together. I don't really care.
Now, get yer meat ready.
Wait. What? Did someone say meat?
This is when my sous chefs finally show up. Slackers.
Beef in a bowl, add a t. of salt, 1/2 t. of pepper. I was feeling crazy, so I also added a couple of dashes of hot sauce and worcestershire.
I think raw beef is kinda gross looking too. Not as much as chicken, but still kind of gross. Ah well, stick your hands in anyway and mix it up.
Now, this is the hardest part of the recipe. But, I believe it you. You can do it!
Take a hunka meat (approx 1/4 lb) and make a little well for the filling.
Take a scoop of that delicious meat candy, carmelized onion, cheesy goodness mixture and put that in your well.
Now fold up the ends. And make sure that there are no holes for the cheese to escape.
Fold up the other sides, and finish forming it into a patty. Easy Peasy.
Now, hand off your burgers to your desired grill master. In our house, that is Brad.
Grill over hot coals- approximately 3 minutes on each side.
A burger CAN and WILL be ruined by bad bread. I think if you are going to do a burger stuffed with bacon and cheese, you might as well indulge in a grilled white delicious bun. My most wonderful husband took a special trip to the grocery just for these buddies. Oh Sweet Sassy.
Put a little mater on there, and maybe some lettuce. It really doesn't need much.
Ooey, gooey.
Beefy, juicy, and a little cheesy. Just like I like my men.
This one is maaaaaaaaad that she hung around all through prep, and she didn't get a single morsel of meaty goodness dropped her way.

Writing Your Summary Statement
Your summary statement is your first chance to impress your prospective employer. Located at the very top of your resume, it should provide the reader with a quick and easy introduction to your experience and skillset. Here are some best practices to keep in mind as you craft your summary statement:
• Keep it short; use no more than three sentences or bullet points to describe yourself
• Keep it relevant; present only the information that most clearly indicates that you're right for the position
• Keep it professional; lead with your job title
Still unclear? Shape your summary statement using our teaching assistant resume template for Word and the following examples:
Example 1

Writing Your Skills Section
Your skills section follows up your summary statement with a more in-depth description of who you are and what you bring to the table as a prospective team member. While you undoubtedly have a variety of skills, you want to be strategic about which skills you actually include.
• Be smart; instead of overwhelming recruiters with bullet points, prioritize the skills you have that make you a good fit for the specific job listing
• Be credible; back up your hard (quantifiable) skills with credentials like certifications, typing speeds and awards received
• Be specific; with softer skills (such as being a hard worker), include details that make those skills feel more defined (such as being a thorough grader)
If you're applying for a teaching assistant position, you may want to use our teaching assistant resume template for Word and include these kinds of skills:
• Certified in ESL education
• Certified in Special Education
• Dedicated team player (supported award-winning science department at Rochford University)
• Excellent typist (100 WPM)
• Fluent in Spanish
• Passionate educator and student motivator
• Thorough and creative researcher
Writing Your Work History Section
Your work history section should demonstrate your credibility and capacity within your field. You can effectively highlight your strengths with our teaching assistant resume template for Word and these best practices:
• Focus on the right experiences; list only positions that relate to your listing and include only the important details: employers, job titles, locations, responsibilities and employment periods
• Focus on your role; briefly describe your experiences in terms of your unique contribution to your team's success
• Focus on your writing; tell a story that captures the attention of your prospective employer by starting your description with an active verb and adding metrics whenever possible
Note how these best practices are at work in the following examples:
• Conducted over 200 hours of extensive literary research using a variety of resources and mediums in support of faculty research projects
• Acted as an after-hours resource and guide for struggling ESL students seeking additional, personalized instruction in Spanish
• Assessed student work using a range of teaching methods to offer helpful instructional feedback
• Created and delivered teaching and assessment activities in support of a set syllabus
Writing Your Education Section
As demonstrated in our teaching assistant resume template for Word, a clear and well-orchestrated education section adds the final touches to your resume's overall polished appearance. Here are some best practices to keep in mind as you write yours:
• Start strong; begin with your most advanced level of education, and work backwards
• Show off your cred; make sure to include any certifications or trainings that relate to your career
• Drive it home; offer additional information about courses that are relevant to the job listing
Here are some examples:
Example 1
Ph.D. – Higher Education – Curriculum and Instruction – 2014
UC Berkeley
Courses included: Syllabus Building, Advanced Instructional Techniques
Example 2
Certificate in English as a Second Language – 2014

Check out these pet-care tips from Dr. Barron. Schedule your pet's wellness exam at our Little Rock animal clinic by filling out an appointment request form here or by calling us at (501) 224-6998.
Your pet ages six to ten years for every year that you age. Because of this, it's important that he or she consistently receive an animal wellness exam to ensure optimal health. At SRVC, we recommend that your middle-aged or senior pet receive this comprehensive exam twice yearly to help your feline and canine families stay together as long as possible.
An pet wellness exam provides an excellent opportunity for your veterinarian to conduct a thorough physical examination, and develop a health profile for your pet. This information will help us proactively identify medical problems and any other issue that can affect your pet's health and quality of life. It also can help detect early signs of illness and address health issues before they progress.
The annual pet wellness exam looks at all of your pet's major body systems, from head to tail. Some of the specific things you can expect include:
If your pet is due for any vaccinations, this will also take place during the annual pet exam. Laboratory work, such as testing for heartworms or kidney function, may also take place.
Since pets cannot tell us what they are feeling, disease and illness are often present before humans recognize them. Moreover, as part of their survival instinct, many animals hide the early signs of diseases. The result is that illness may be critically advanced before any obvious signs are apparent. Some early warning signs are often evident to a veterinarian during an animal wellness exam, however.
When a disease or condition is noticed in its early stages, steps can often be taken to prevent irreversible damage, thereby increasing the chances of successful outcome. Additionally, combating problems before they escalate to the point that you notice them is often far less time-intensive and costly than waiting until it impacts the pet's quality of life.

A vast array of new machines had their paint drying in the Lincolnshire sun at this year's Cereals event. There was a good mix of cultivation and drilling tackle while the emphasis in the crop sprayer arena was on monster size tanks and field spanning booms. ANDY COLLINGS and MERVYN BAILEY report.

ALTHOUGH Holme Farm Services have produced tractor skid units in the past, the Lite-Trac is the product of three years' development. Full production will start in October with the prototype machine on show allowing Paul McAvoy to get some feedback and expand on what he says is an already healthy order book.
Power comes from a Stage IIIa Cummins kicking out 260hp at 2,500rpm and coupled to a ZF ergo powershift with six forward and three reverse gears and capable of getting up to 50kph. He points out that by locating the engine and transmission between the axles they can make the most of the even weight distribution with each wheel carrying an equal weight even as a crop sprayer empties. For servicing, the rear platform is raised hydraulically.
The model on show was fitted with a 6,500 litre tank and 40m Pommier aluminium booms produced in-house. A 7,500 litre tank and 48m booms can also be specified or customers can choose another make of crop sprayer. Mr McAvoy points out that his machine is not limited to just spraying and has plans to fit a KRM Bredal bulk spreader and there is also interest from vegetable growers using it as part of their harvesting unit. Optional equipment includes GPS controlled steering, tyre inflation on the move, control of boom sections by GPS and trailer brakes.

Barefoot Wine - Beach Rescue
Have you heard the story of the girl throwing starfish back in the ocean?
It's a parable about how some people will scoff at others trying to help because it won't solve the entire problem. The moral of the story is that being a useful person isn't about being able to solve entire crises, but doing your bit of good in the ways you are able and how that multiplies when many individuals do the same.
We focus so much sometimes on the hugeness of the issues in front of us that we forget we can (and should) do things because they are the right thing to do.
We can just do a little bit, and it adds up.

Food Review
Chateraise Patisserie is at One Utama now!!June 18, 2016
Konnichiwa!Today I visited One Utama with my friends and I wanted to buy some desserts for my family since tomorrow is Father's Day. So, I decided to drop by Chateraise Patisserie since they just opened few days ago and I saw a lot of people recommend it on social media. Let go check it out!
*Long queue since today is weekend @@*
Chateraise Patisserie is a very popular in Japan with more than 460 stores opened there. They served a wide range of Japanese Western Cake such as fresh cream cakes, swiss cream roll, Mochi, Daifuku and more and more and MORE!Actually their first outlet is located at KLCC but now there is one more outlet at One Utama so that everyone who wish to try their cakes and sweets not need to go so far already yay!
*My friend say the cake decoration are even look nicer than their outlet in Japan ahhaha*
*so many types of fruit jelly woo~*
Honestly, their cake prices are higher compared with other bakeries in Malaysia. Yet, since they using truly fresh eggs, milk, and other ingredients and it is imported directly from Japan too so I think that it is worth to pay for it :)
Since I have no idea which cakes I want to buy plus my lovely mom don't wish me to spend too much for it LOL so here is what I brought from Chateraise Patisserie.
*Fresh Cream Roll which cost about RM4.80. I guess this is the most cheaper cake in their store haha*
*I would highly recommend their Legendary Fresh Cream Cake(RM14.90) since I saw the "NO1 BEST SELLER" label on this cake and trust me, you never get tired of this cake even though there is a lot of whipped creams! The strawberries in this cake was juicy sweet and fresh yum!
Before the end of the post, I would like to tell that Chateraise cakes are not recommended for Muslims because their cakes content alcohol ~

mCloud , a cloud based IoT platform to reinvent concept of Video conference meetings.
The concept of Virtual meetings via Videoconference seems innovative, but what if the meeting can't be started due to technical issues? Studies show that:
- 12 minutes are wasted when people try connecting laptops to projectors or TVs in meeting rooms.
- 15% of an organization's collective time is spent in meetings
A headache that affects almost every company these days will soon be a forgotten issue- thanks to mCloud, Prijector's cloud based IoT platform for meetings.
What is Prijector? :
Prijector is an IoT enabled device which simplifies the art of delivering presentations. It connects directly to TVs & Projectors & enables to present wirelessly. The device is cross platform compliant–supports Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry Devices.
It makes every meeting room video conferencing capable by running apps like Skype, Microsoft Lync, Google Hangouts,Cisco Jabber etc. to name a few.
The device is extremely user friendly & simple, you can connect any WebCam to Prijector & it automatically detects it. It supports 10 people Video conference via Skype. It has built-in web browser so that you don't need any other internet connected devices to refer for info during presentations. It supports Guest Internet Access at the same time keeping the main network secure.
The hardware is built considering the future software updates & new features that can be added to the device. And it does more than the Miracast technology we've seeing in most of the devices right now.
You can easily toggle between Presentation & Video modes using their Prijector Companion Software which is installed on your laptop.
How does it work?:
[irp posts="81″ name="IoT: Opportunities & future"]
There are two modes of working for Prijector:
1: The WiFi Mode turns Prijector into a Hotspot & enables easy & convenient sharing.
2:Corporate Mode: It can be integrated and made a part of a corporate network setup.
What is mCloud? :
Prijector Plus connects to mCloud, their innovative meeting room IoT platform which puts all meeting room equipment into a Singular Central Dashboard. If a meeting attendee has any issues getting a meeting started they can seek help by clicking a button on the device. Prijector notifies the available admin who can resolve the problem without having to physically come to the meeting room.
The mCloud is a cloud-based service controller that allows managers who manage meeting rooms to troubleshoot any issues meeting attendees encounter in meeting rooms.
This includes switching modes between HDMI Sources during presentations and video conferencing, managing guest WIFI connectivity in meeting rooms, locking meeting room screens so screen jacking is not possible in the middle of presentations, controlling volume of the video conferencing equipment, managing Prijector Plus devices with latest updates, customizing screens with marketing messages on the TV screen in the meeting rooms, and more.
Here's what Sunil Coushik, CEO of Prijector has to say:
"We spent the last two years building Prijector a hardware device for meeting rooms. As we kept building Prijector we realised the challenge was not just offering features like wireless presentations, guest internet access, and video conferencing apps. The challenge is the legacy infrastructure in the meeting rooms like the screen or the Projector that Prijector is connected to, the existing video conferencing equipment that is in the meeting room, the internet connection that is in the meeting room, multiple remote controls that are in the meeting rooms. Each one of these equipment can break down or work intermittently causing delays.
Putting all the equipment in a meeting room on the cloud is our first step to make every meeting room easy to use"
Prijector is trusted by leading companies like Amazon, Cisco, AT&T, Seagate & Accenture for organising their meetings via mCloud.
mCloud supports the use of apps via Prijector's App store which currently supports limited number of apps but hopefully, list can grow soon. If you've encountered a problem(rarely) there's Prijector's friendly support center that's ready to hear you 24/7.
See mCloud in action:

Load-carrying capacity.
How much you can
expect of us.
The figures shown for dynamic load carrying capacity represent the maximum permissible load, i.e. the weight that a pair of drawer slides will bear when moving (when being pulled out or pushed in), provided that all the suitable screws have been fitted in all the attachment holes.
In the case of roller bearing drawer slides, the load capacity figures shown below apply to drawers 600 mm in length.
In the case of linear ball bearing drawer slides the load capacity figures apply to drawers 450 mm in length and with a front width of 450 mm.
In the case of longer drawers the load carrying capacity is reduced in each case by approx. 20 %.


text: How to Identify & Convert the Low-Hanging Fruit in Your Book of Business Two measures of your success as an insurance agent are the amount of clients you keep (retention) and the number prospects you bring on (conversion). For many agents and agencies, growing is the goal; but it doesn't always have to be a valiant effort of bringing on someone new. Look to your current book of business to see where your opportunities lie. Identifying the opportunities To be able to go after the low hanging fruit in your book of business, you need to know who they are. There are three distinct groups you should be specifically targeting: Cross-Sells Turning-26 Crowd Turning-65 Crowd Cross-Sells Cross-selling is one of the most powerful ways you can build your book of business. Why? Because it's selling to the clients you already have. Did you know? Selling to an existing client is actually easier and more cost-effective since you're at least 40% more likely to convert them than a new prospect. There are two ways to check for cross-sell opportunities in your book of business. The first way would be to go through and complete a client needs assessment to determine where the gaps are in your client's coverage. A needs assessment is a series of questions you ask your client to see what coverages they do and do not have. From there, you'll be able to discuss what their needs are and if they are fully covering those needs or not. The benefit of a client needs assessment is that your client already has all of their cards on the table and will be more understanding of why they would need the additional coverage. Say, for example, you're talking with a client who is aging and their eyesight is weakening. When you perform their needs assessment and ask "Do you have vision insurance?" and they say no, you have the perfect opportunity to make the sale. It's about getting your clients on the same page as their needs. Some will be trickier than others, but the assessment will at least help put the reality of the situation in front of their eyes to help convince them of the necessity of the coverages they're lacking. You may be saying, "Well, I already know what my clients need, they're my clients after all!" And that's true, but it's easy to let coverages slip through the cracks or assume they're already covered. It doesn't hurt to try, and your clients will thank you for being so concerned and thorough. Worst that'll happen is they'll say "no thanks." Best case? You'll write them an additional policy or two! Consider this: Michael Sams with Sams/Hockaday & Associates, Inc. started using a client needs assessment and his book grew exponentially. Check it out how he used it in this video: YouTube Now, the needs assessment is something you should do with your clients, but it's not necessarily the most efficient way to identify the cross-sell opportunities in your book of business. Identifying Them in AgencyBloc The second, and more savvy approach, is to run a report. This requires you to have your book of business in an organized, centralized place like an agency management system (AMS). Doing this within Excel Spreadsheets or attempting to go through paper files will require significantly more time and effort. Think of it this way: without an AMS, you will be going through each spreadsheet you have and manually highlighting your cross-sell opportunities. This could take hours to days depending on the size of your book of business. Then, once you're finished, you'll have to do it all over again a couple of months down the road. Instead, with an AMS, you can run a simple report. AgencyBloc, an AMS built specifically for the life and health insurance industry, makes running this report simple. Cross-Sell Report in AgencyBloc It takes but seconds of your time and gives you a wealth of knowledge. PLUS, if you have AgencyBloc, you can save this report to run over and over every time you need it. Here are some of the filters you can apply to get a more complete scope of who you can contact for cross-selling opportunities: They have life insurance with you but don't have health insurance They have health insurance with you but don't have life insurance They are a group health insurance client but don't have add-ons like dental and vision They have life insurance with you but don't have any annuities They have life insurance with you but don't have short-term disability coverage Turning-26 Crowd Likely this crowd is comprised of the children or grandchildren of your current clients. These individuals provide you with an excellent opportunity for conversion because they already have a sense of trust built with you because of their family connection. Your best options would be those that are independent workers, freelancers, those without full-time positions, and those who work for companies that don't offer benefits. Use your AMS to keep track of these kids. It's important that they know who you are in order for them to want to trust you and even consider you down the road. In AgencyBloc, you can use the notes section to follow them throughout all their major life events. Send them congrats cards when they get the lead in the school play, or make a touchdown, or their art is put on display at the local museum. Pro Tip AgencyBloc integrates with Rocket Referrals who you can use to send "handwritten" cards to your clients and their relations which can save you time, money, and hand cramps. One of the important notes to keep is their birthday. Send them a handwritten card every year on their birthday to stand out and keep your name fresh in their head. As they get older, their minds will get clogged with all the worries, stress, and realities that come with adulthood. Make sure you stay on top of all that by keeping your relationship relevant and current. Why a handwritten card? Well, it's more personal for one, and it'll stick out in their mind. Plus, as the world becomes increasingly digital, snail mail becomes more precious. Let's face it; it's very unlikely that we'll ever do away with mail. Take into account they're just getting out of college or they could be in their masters/doctorates, they're just getting into the professional world, and they may not actually have a professional job yet. They may still be finishing up internships, which, unfortunately, some aren't paid. The possibilities are endless for this group on how much they make, how many jobs they have, how "thrifty" they are, and what their living situation is (live with 5 roommates, mom and dad, significant other, etc.) One key thing to keep in mind with this group is to not stereotype them. They don't appreciate being made fun of or made to look a fool because of the overarching perception of their age. Don't assume they're lazy. Don't assume they are technology-obsessed. Don't assume they're unreliable. Many of them want to learn, even if they don't know how to communicate that. Sit down and have an adult conversation with them. Let them ask you all of their "stupid questions", because, in the end, they'll trust you more and feel more comfortable with you. This can lead to improved retention rates, likelihood of referrals, and increase your opportunity for cross-selling them in the future. Ask them how much they're comfortable spending and start there. Let the conversation build and discuss how they can or cannot reach the value they want with that dollar amount and why. I guarantee it—they'll appreciate it. Also, keep in mind they may not know what to ask. They'll probably have a question by the time they get to their car. So make sure you give them your card so they can email you or call you after your initial meeting. Taking your time and practicing patience will go a long way with this crowd, and it will go a long way for improving your chances of conversion and eventual retention. Identifying Them in AgencyBloc Identify possible candidates by tracking the children of your clients via relationships. Relationship tracking allows you to create contact profiles for individuals regardless if they're your actual clients or prospects. This way, you can keep track of those kids until they reach the age where they would need you. Then, when they are closing in on 26, you'll be prepared and get to them first. With insurance, the saying "the early bird gets the worm" is even more true with 50% of sales going to the first agent the person talks to. Be that early bird and get that worm. So how do you track them and ensure you're the first to contact them? Let's discuss how you would do so with AgencyBloc. It's crucial to note, AgencyBloc is an AMS and not all AMSs are built the same. You'll have to check with your provider to find the best ways to track and manage your turning-26 clients. To learn more about doing so in AgencyBloc, sign up for a personalized one-on-one demos with our industry experts. With AgencyBloc, you can use Automated Workflows. Set up a workflow in AgencyBloc to alert you to when your individuals are nearing their 26th birthday. It may be beneficial to set up 6-months out to ensure you have plenty of time to discuss the upcoming changes and get them on their own policy. You can have it alert you and the individual in many different ways: Send you an email Create an activity for you that'll be listed on your "to-dos" Send an email to the individual All of the above You can set these alerts to launch on any given time-table—whatever fits your schedule and your style. You can start a year out, more, or less. You can set it to launch multiple times. Just set it up once and it'll replicate every time you have an individual in your book getting close to 26. Turning 26 Automated Workflow in AgencyBloc If you decide to have an email sent to your client's relation (like their child), as well, here is an example of what it could say: Dear [Individual's Name], I'm your parent's/grandparent's [insert type of insurance] agent. Your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa and I were talking the other day and they mentioned you had some questions about insurance. Let's sit down and talk about your options so you can relax and enjoy your upcoming birthday. Insurance doesn't have to be difficult; I'm here to help you through the whole transition. Email me at [insert email address] or give me a call at [enter phone number] to find a time that works best for you. All the best, [Your Name] Keep in mind, if you're a life insurance agent, this is the perfect group to contact (they are part of the most underinsured generation). You can run the same report, and then just ask them if they have life insurance. You may even want to contact them earlier than 26—maybe even 18. Tracking them via relationships in AgencyBloc will help you keep tabs on these potential clients so you can strike when the time comes. More than likely, they won't see the value at first. But, as you and I both know, life insurance is very important. We've put together some resources that can help you show your prospects why they need life insurance: [Blog] How to Show Your Clients Life Insurance Matters [Infographic] The Importance of Life Insurance Turning-65 Crowd You can use a lot of the tactics we discussed in the previous section with these individuals as well. Like the turning-26 crowd, the turning-65'ers will need a little extra help. They're entering new territory and, as many of them are very fiscally conservative, they'll be wary of lofty expenditures. Sit them down and go through the changes with them thoroughly. Discuss what they need to expect, where they'll see the changes first, and what their steps should be throughout the process. They'll appreciate your attention to detail and dedication to helping them find the best coverage. This is another great opportunity for you to fill out a needs assessment to determine how much coverage they'll need and where. If you're new to the senior market game or are looking to improve, check out the webinar we hosted with Jason Ferguson from New Horizons Insurance Marketing. The webinar, Succeeding as a Senior Marketing Insurance Agent, will give you all of the insider information on how to be a successful and prosperous senior market insurance agent. Similar to the turning-26'ers, the turning-65 crowd will be filled with a variety of people. Some will still be working full-time, others will be retired but still working part-time gigs, and some will be retired and loving every moment of the relaxation. You'll have people of all health levels, ability levels, mental levels, and emotional levels. You'll have some that are the primary caregiver to an ill partner, have kids or grandkids living at home, or are widows/widowers. Although many are getting a grasp on technology, there is still a large portion who don't absolutely love tech stuff and will be turned off by it. Additionally, ensure your paperwork, fliers, mailers, and other marketing pieces are larger print and don't have too much going on. As you age, your ability to discern color variations becomes limited and reading small text can be quite frustrating. Just keep in mind these potential clients are just as capable. Many are still young at heart and very active and will react negatively to you talking down to them or making them look feeble. Identifying Them in AgencyBloc Just like with your turning-26 crowd, stay in touch with your turning-65'ers by setting up a workflow. Just indicate the age you're looking for and set the actions (emails, tasks, etc.) From there, AgencyBloc will alert you when those clients are nearing 65. Turning 65 Automated Workflow in AgencyBloc If you choose the route of sending them an email, here is something you could say: Dear [Client's Name], I know you're turning 65 soon and that means some changes are going to happen. Let's sit down and talk about your options and get a game plan together for when your birthday comes. Email me at [insert email address] or give me a call at [enter phone number] to find a time that works best for you. All the best, [Your Name] For more ideas on identifying potential leads for your 65+ clientele, check out this guest blog from Jason Ferguson: [Blog] Don't Overlook These Easy Leads They Really Aren't That Different Although the age gap is significant, there aren't too many differences between the turning-26 kids and the turning-65 adults. They both are nervous about the changes coming and aren't quite sure what to expect. Both seek value and are willing to spend more if they find the value is worth it. Both need extra time, patience, and care to help them decide which plan is best for them. These three areas could prove to be extremely valuable for you. Taking the time and analyzing your book of business to see where your clients and prospects are could be the one trick you pull that puts you out on top this year. However, to do so, you need to have your book of business in an orderly, clean fashion that's easy to analyze and quick to report on. Using a generic CRM, Excel spreadsheets, or paper files likely won't help you capitalize on the possible gains in your book of business. Although they have many benefits (cost, capability, etc.), for growing insurance agencies, they sometimes won't cut the cake due to lack of specificity and effectiveness. If you're finding this to be true with your current system, here are some resources you may find helpful in starting your search for something new: [Blog] Why the Insurance Agency Software You Choose Matters [Blog] 5 Reasons Life & Health Insurance Agencies Are Moving to Agency Management Systems [Blog] 3 Major Benefits of a Contact-Based Agency Management System [Infographic] On-Premise vs. Hosted Software for Insurance Agencies [Brief Guide] AMS vs. CRM: What You Need to Know 80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups Consistent follow-ups are crucial to nurturing and converting your leads into clients.

As a small business, you need to use every opportunity to connect with your target audience and social networks might just be the thing you were looking for. At the moment, there are over 2.22 billion users on social media in the world, which is about one-third of humanity. Nevertheless, this is merely the tip of the iceberg and the real numbers are even more impressive.
When you pause to think who the people who don't have social media profiles nowadays are, you'll quickly realize that most of them aren't your target demographic, to begin with. We're talking about very young kids (while even this is debatable in 2018), people without the internet access (for whatever reason) and a small portion of the population that refuses to use them out of principle. Coincidentally and with the exception of the third group, neither of these demographics is your primary audience, to begin with.
Moreover, while, in theory, social media is supposed to help you establish an impressive global presence, you can achieve quite a bit by approaching your social media marketing with a local presence in mind. Overall, there are several things you need to know about the use of social media for local businesses.
1. Budget matters
The first thing you need to understand is the fact that the majority of small businesses have fairly limited budgets. For instance, a small family business may spend less than $5,000, while a small business with 5-20 employees, on average, spends less than $10,000. While social media marketing may not be a high-cost technique, it still requires skill that an inexperienced entrepreneur may possess. More than a half of small businesses execute their own marketing, and between 30 and 40 percent of them don't even have a marketing plan (at least not the one exceeding a single month in advance).
2. Gathering feedback is vital
The main advantage of a local business lies in the fact that the owners belong to the same community, possibly even the same demographic, as their audience. Nevertheless, this advantage can sometimes turn into a disadvantage, especially since it can cause an entrepreneur to think they know exactly what their customers are thinking when this is clearly not the case. Instead of guessing, you should try extensive media monitoring. One of the best things here is that you can localize your search as much as you need to.
3. Online engagement boosts offline sales
Probably the most important thing you need to know about local searches is the fact that they don't always directly result in online sales. In fact, 78 percent of local mobile searches eventually become offline sales. This means that your social media activity on a local level benefits your business, even if you don't have a way of making a direct connection. Nonetheless, even though you might not be able to express it in numbers, this kind of indirect causality still works heavily in your favor. Moreover, the ROI (although obscure) is also quite great.
4. You need a strategy
Another thing you need to realize is the fact that just establishing a presence on social media isn't enough to ensure success. Even with a healthy budget, you need to prioritize where your money is supposed to go. For instance, due to the fact that your Facebook is probably the main driving source for your sales, you need to invest in paid ads. Despite the fact that about three quarters (74 percent) of all local affiliates use Facebook, less than one-quarter (24 percent of them) are paying to advertise on this platform.
5. Become omnipresent
The next vital point of interest you need to keep an eye out for is the fact that you might be missing out on some of the smaller networks, believing that they wouldn't drive any revenue. This is, again, where budgeting and self-managing your social media presence becomes a huge issue. You see, managing your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram accounts is time-consuming, as it is. Due to the fact that you have an entire business to run, tending to your YouTube channel, your Google+ profile and your page on Pinterest may seem as too much work. Nonetheless, with a social media management tool, this shouldn't be that much of a problem.
6. Time, resources and expertise
At the end of the day, all of your social media efforts come down to three things – time, resources and expertise. As a small, local business, you probably won't have either of these things on your side right away. On the other hand, it all depends on the goals that you set. Setting your goals too high will cause a no small degree of anxiety, while setting them too low may be a waste of both time and resources, no matter how little you decide to invest. This is probably why you should definitely hire some skilled help.
As you can see, your social media presence can make or break your local business, regardless of its size or industry. However, the impact is not all you have to worry about and only through skilled guidance will you be able to get the cost-effective impact you've been looking for.

Within the elderly population, malfunction and age-related changes of the lower urinary tract (LUT) are very common and accompanied by a decrease in bladder capacity, as well as an increasing detrusor (a muscle which forms a layer of the wall of the bladder) over-activity. Hence, treating bladder dysfunction in time is essential.
The WHO has also said that incontinence is a largely preventable and treatable condition and that it's "certainly not an inevitable consequence of ageing," adding that "the most typical reaction exhibited by patients when they are diagnosed with poor bladder control was not fear nor disbelief, but relief."
Older people are more susceptible to incontinence and this can have a huge impact on daily activities. This happens because the bladder and the urethra undergo some changes as you grow old. The volume of urine that the bladder can hold starts to decrease. If left untreated, it will not go away. So, here are few effective ways for treating bladder dysfunction :
- Bladder Control Pads
For discreet daytime protection against unexpected urinary leaks, incontinence pads can give elders with light bladder leakage a peace of mind. Lightweight bladder control pads are designed for maximum absorption with minimum visibility. These discreet bladder pads are perfect if you're looking for protection that can be worn with your own underwear.
- Kegel Exercises
For treating bladder dysfunction, Kegels increase support to the urethral sphincter and detrusor (bladder) muscle, thereby preventing stress, urge and mixed urinary Incontinence, and are most appropriate in people who:
- Do not have cognitive impairments
- Are motivated to comply with the program and
- Have a pelvic floor that is neurologically intact because of old age
- Intermittent Self-Catheterization
Intermittent Self-Catheterization (ISC) is a safe and effective alternative method to empty the bladder. ISC involves inserting a catheter (a flexible hollow tube) into the urethra (the urine channel that drains urine from the bladder) several times a day. ISC is used to help protect the kidneys, prevent incontinence (urine leakage) and lessen the number of infections by promoting good drainage of the bladder while lowering pressure inside the bladder.
It has been used successfully for individuals with injury to the nerves of the bladder, spinal cord and brain as well as in persons with diabetes, multiple sclerosis, enlarged prostate and continent urinary diversion.
- Medication
The cost and coverage will depend on your medical plan and whether you are prescribed a generic. The most commonly prescribed UI drug class is muscarinic receptor blocker. Three of these medications are generic so they will be much cheaper. These are Oxybutynin (Ditropan), Tolterodine (Detrol) and Trospium (Sanctura).
A holistic assessment by a nurse who has a good understanding of incontinence in older people can identify the cause and enable an appropriate plan of treatment. For many individuals, this will result in a cure or improvement in their incontinence and help to treat bladder dysfunction greatly, which will help both the patient's and their caretaker's quality of life.

This is a distance dating thousand miles away.
I met this girl 6 years ago when travelling. I got her number for messaging apps. We been keeping in touch for the 1st year. We kinda like each other without expressing it out with the work "i like". After 1st year, I make the biggest regretful sin by abandoning her when she needed me most for life advise due to I am felling for her too fast and it's so distance and my current condition does not allow me to do so. So i stop contacting her for 4 years but I do check her out in her social app profile to see if shes OK quietly. I thought I can forget her or tone down my feelings for her but I miss her even more. On the 6th year, i decided to give a wink to her for the very first time after 4 years of silence. I failed to tone down my feelings for her and make a bold move to to message her. I dont care anymore about distance obstacles, there must be a way.
continued…November 21, 2018 at 9:22 pm #189685
she replied me after an hour. we started quite good in conversation and I finally expressed my feelings for her and her reply was quite welcoming as in "if i dont like you, i wouldnt have been chatting with you now". We kept chatting about other stuffs and also intimate things like things I wish to do with her all along if we are together. The response is positive. She even initiated video call first before I can, everything looks welcoming and Here comes the not so good part,
after 2 days , the following days till now, her respinse was short and brief when i message her. i keep it cool for few days and i try again, it is still the same. once in a while i get a wink from her response when i say i miss her. a welcoming wink. however shes not really into talk with me. in brief, its kind of cold treatment from her side when i try to text her, its like a different person from the first 2 days and very rare she does say "you finally miss me"
i am confused now on what shes up to with
dashingscorpioParticipantNovember 22, 2018 at 3:43 pm #189699
If you have to "figure out" someone it usually means they're not "into" you.
Truthfully it's unlikely this "situationship" was ever going to evolve into a relationship.
You haven't been together in person for 6 years and even then it wasn't with the intent of being a "couple"
When there is no "light at the end of tunnel" whereby someone plans on relocating LDR couples usually drift apart.
While you have begun to {romanticize the obstacle of being long distance} she is being practical.
Essentially she is keeping her options open by dating guys who actually live in her area.
You're not offering any her reason to believe this "budding association" she has with you will amount to anything serious.
Right now it's just two friends flirting with one another. In the mean time you too should be keeping your options open.
That means date other women and not become overly emotionally invested in her.
Remember you're NOT in a relationship and have no right to make any demands.November 26, 2018 at 8:22 am #189686
Lastly, shes a young and hard working person trying to make a living and taking care of her small little brother without parents by her side.
She told me shes not married and not having any bf at all when i asked her. But i never know if its true. All my female friends i ask assume she has within 4 years from a girl perspective. Shes knows alot about my stuff in here and i only know as much as she can tell me only. She has plenty of friends now compared ton6 years ago. Colleagues. We donshare some intimacy before when infirst met her 6 years ago, she told me recently she had no idea why she did that stupid things 6 years ago but she said it is fate that brought us to know each other. Shetold me she believes that we will have a new beginning this time and theres always a way to get together if i am willing to. Yes, i told her its hard for me to get together with her even if i want it due to distance but she comfort me instead that theres a way. Should i trust her after i abandoned her?

Bad Decisions Late at Night
Everyone needs those friends who go along with your crazy ideas. Jonah and I have a lot of crazy ideas and a lot of crazy friends, so I've decided this rule could potentially be bad in excess, because our crazy friends encourage us to do crazy trips to Moab late on a Friday night. We'd been wanting to go for a while to take pictures of our Arches poster in front of Delicate Arch and we thought, "Why not now?"
The main reason the trip was crazy was because we'd be hiking and Jonah had had a recent medical scare where his hands and feet went numb and he was having trouble breathing. We figured out what it was but he was still experiencing the aftermath. The other reason this trip was a terrible idea was because September is one of the hottest times of the year in Moab, and we'd be in a sweltering tent. But we found ourselves in the road tripping along anyways, bumbling along with our friends, Tim and Becca.
Some pretty bad decisions can be made spontaneously, but some pretty good ones can be made that way too. We cliff jumped into some dangerously shallow water where we all grazed the rocks at the bottom, gave out lots and lots of stickers and ate way too many oreos and milkshakes.
If you are planning a Moab trip anytime soon, we highly recommend camping in the La-Sals. It's a mountain range 30-40 minutes outside of Moab and as you drive up the road the temperature drops about 15 degrees and the landscape flips. It switches almost instantaneously from the desert to a lush forest. Highly recommended. Unfortunately we learned that too little, too late and camped in the heat. Learn from our mistakes.
So here's to spontaneous trips, good friends, red rocks, and bad decisions made late at night. These are some of the things that enrich our lives. It felt good to run away from the real world for a time and forget about any weight or worry that was looming over me.

ADDISON, TX - The cards are stacking up on the road to the White House. Hey, we aren't talking about Frank Underwood from House of Cards. A real political powerhouse is running -- former Texas Governor Rick Perry.
"Today I am running for the presidency of the United States of America," Perry announced Thursday at the Addison Airport that he's throwing his hat in the ring... again.
Now, Perry is asking GOP primary voters for a second chance.
"Let's give them a second chance. Let's give them real leadership!"
Perry reintroduced himself as a Republican with military experience that distinguishes him from other GOP hopefuls
During his announcement, Perry was flanked by a list of military veterans, including several Navy SEALs and Taya Kyle, the widow of "American Sniper" Chris Kyle, and Marcus Luttrell, who Perry called a "second son" — a group that allows Perry to highlight his five years in the Air Force.
Perry also peddled campaign promises, starting with what he'll do if elected.
"On my first day in office, I will issue an immediate freeze on pending regulations from the Obama administration," Perry said. "We've been through two World Wars, we've been through a Great Depression, we've even made it through Jimmy Carter. We will make it through the Obama Years."
This isn't Perry's first time at the rodeo.
"A lot of people forget, he had back surgery like six weeks before that debate. And so everybody messes up. He's a human being so no one's going to be perfect," Perry supporter Josey Parks said.
So, the campaign begins and Perry joins at least 10 other republican presidential wannabes. Will Perry make it to the main stage? And if he does, what do we have to look forward to?
Someone cue Britney Spears, "Oops I did it again!"

Steroid injections for back pain can lead to bone loss, beware those with elbow pain, chronic pain, use Physiotherapy Winnipeg
Lately, many patients with chronic pain, including those with back pain, shoulder rotator cuff pain, elbow tendinitis pain or other chronic pain, have been asked by their family doctors 'if they would prefer corticosteroid injections to physiotherapy?'
A Henry Ford Hospital, in Washington, D.C., study ( http://t.co/W3gj4dJt ) has found that postmenopausal women suffered significant bone density loss in their hip after they were treated with an epidural steroid injection for back pain relief.
Bone density loss after six months was six times greater when compared to the typical bone density loss seen in a year in a postmenopausal woman who doesn't receive steroid injection, researchers said.
Shlomo Mandel, M.D., an orthopedic physician and the study's lead author, said physicians should exercise caution prescribing an epidural steroid for select patients, suggesting that multiple injections may compromise bone strength.
"The findings of our study suggest that epidural steroid injections for back pain relief should be approached cautiously in patients at risk for bone fragility," Dr. Mandel said.
"Physicians who do prescribe them should consider measures that optimize bone health such as calcium and vitamin D supplements and exercise as part of their patient's treatment plan," he added.
Back pain is one of the most common medical conditions in the United States, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. As people age, their spine ages with them, causing degenerative changes in the spine.
Patients are typically treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy. If symptoms persist, an epidural steroid is often prescribed to alleviate pain and improve function. However, steroid use has been linked to diminished bone quality.
There has always been the link, and the questions concerning steroid injection and tendon or bone deterioration. One of the more famous cases was that of Joe Montana, Hall of Fame NFL quarterback and his elbow tendon rupture following multiple injections. Now there are not many of us that perform at this level, but chronic pain of any type can be debilitating and life altering. Please know your options and be aware of all the side effects associated with longterm medications; the list of side effects may outweigh any medical advantage.
If you are considering steroid injection as a form of treatment; ask your doctor about his/her experience in delivering such a treatment option. An orthopedic surgeon or experienced sportsmedicine doctor would be a wise choice.
Your Physiotherapist should be able to address your concerns about such a treatment option, and he/she should be able to provide treatment relevant to your pain trigger points and the appropriate exercise to assist in your longterm rehab.

Elisabeth Ndala Totally Megalo
Gallery owner and more … This is Art…
"Surprising" is probably the word that best qualifies Eisabeth Ndala. This ex-nuclear buyer decides to tackle everything in 2012 to follow this "voice that comes from within" as she says. This voice is that of the artist Amdy By Fall, met on the island of Gorée 10 years ago had shaken her.
After passing through the box "Master 2 cultural project management" and an internship gallery, she wants to print his mark. Elisabeth Ndala starts opening her first gallery, first at Bagnolet. Her first exhibition, "Des Femmes", immediately gives the tone of the gallantist's state of mind: by choosing two artists of opposite sexes to question women, Elisabeth Ndala adopts a bold bill.
Totally Megalo: a philosophy, values
#TOTALLY MEGALO is a multi-faceted experience. It takes off first with the unifying exhibition "Elisabeth Ndala is #TOTALLYMEGALO", in which the gallery owner is staged under the eye of several photographers.
Everyone may be #TOTALLYMEGALO, everyone has the right, and even the duty, to accept themselves, to be proud of being oneself.
#TOTALLYMEGALO is the project that proclaims "Assume!"
Be yourself under the eyes of various photographers. Live a unique experience that requires learning to love each other, but also allows you to discover many facets of your own personality to the rhythm of the sessions. It is to wonder about what one agrees to show, #TOTALLYMEGALO, it is to be discovered under the eye of one or more photographers. To go to the meeting of oneself, and to remain "oneself" in as many universes as there are artists.
Exposition "Elisabeth Ndala is #TOTALLYMEGALO
In the name of art, Elisabeth Ndala, founder of "BAB's Gallery", dares to be the object of attention. Through her project Totally Megalo, she invites each of us to wonder about the way we look at ourselves.
That's why she chose to be the main subject of her new photographic exhibition. with NICOLAS OBERY – MARCELLA MARTIAL – STEPHANE THÉVENON – ERIC CECCARINI – BRICE HARDELIN (jewels: chained wings) – STEVAN LEBRAS – MONIKA NOWAK – METRAZ SEVERINE – EMMANUEL BARROUYER – IHSEN TLILI – SYLVIE MARLETTA – VLADIMIR VATSEV (Shibari: RICHARD LAILLIER) VINET – LEIDYLEI AGGOUN – Guest TANAHE.

Poetry Intensive for Published Writers: Find Your Muse in the Woods 2020
October 5 - 8, 2020
Join Us To:
Find ways to grow your craft, sharpen your voice, and expand your poetic and creative boundaries. Participate in guided workshops, intended to ignite your inner muse through discussion, lecture, and generative writing exercises. Replenish and restore with this creative retreat.
What You'll Learn:
As writers of books for children and teens, we seek ways to grow our craft, sharpen our voice, and reach for magic and muse wherever we can find them. In this intensive, writers will stretch and grow to embrace many poetic forms… and even meet a muse or two!
While we are all creators of children's content, this workshop will focus on the poetic form itself, not tied to one reader or group. In seven guided workshops writers will learn from poet Gail Carson Levine. Upon acceptance into the retreat, writers will be provided with a common read.
Sample exercise: A Writing Exercise to Ignite Your Inner Muse
Attend If:
- You are a published author. If you've been published–in any genre, online, in a magazine, in an anthology, or traditionally–the exercises, discussions and lectures in this course will help you expand your creative boundaries.
- You could benefit from a retreat. In addition to the daily discussions and exercises, there will be ample time for you to rest, relax, and write.
- You're working on a novel in verse. Maybe you're a novelist who's decided to try their next project as a novel in verse. The exercises and lectures offered in this course will help you!
- You're looking for inspiration. This guided retreat will help unlock new words and spark new pathways.
Please note:
During the registration process, we'll ask you to complete the following:
- List your most recent publications in the children's market.
- Please share your personal connection to poetry.
- Share one (or more) of your recent reads.

Breaking Through Those Creative Blocks
From Gail: books about writing poems:
- The Teachers & Writers Handbook of Poetic Forms, edited by Ron Padgett
- The Practice of Poetry, Writing Exercises from Poets Who Teach, edited by Robin Behn & Chase Twichell
- The Art of the Poetic Line by James Longenbach
- The Poet's Companion by Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux
- The Poetry Home Repair Manual by Ted Kooser
"Gail is an accomplished poet and writer, but she also has the gift to teach, encourage, and inspire. She made many forms of poetry accessible to us through example, through readings and discussions of form, and through our attempts. She responded to our work constructively, brilliantly, which gave me the courage to write and to share with the group. 5 STARS!"
"I learned so much about poetic meter and how it can be used in my prose writing, as well as in writing poetry."

Last week was not a good one for the two most prominent property syndications in the country. We reported elsewhere about the woes of Sharemax, and now Picvest also made the headlines.
This property syndication group, previously known as PIC, launched an appeal to the Pretoria High Court after unsuccessfully approaching the FSB Appeal Board, writes Hanna Barry in Moneyweb. This concerns the withdrawal of its FSB licence.
Barry writes:
Directors of property syndication promoter Pickvest have launched an application in the Pretoria High Court to have an incriminating determination by the Financial Services Board (FSB) reviewed and set aside.
The decision, which was made in February by the FSB's Appeal Board, found that Pickvest's directors acted dishonestly and without the care, skill and diligence expected of financial services providers (FSP) under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act.
Pickvest promoted 22 different property syndication schemes known as Highveld Syndications (HS), a number of which are now under business rescue. Investors bought units (a mixture of shares and loan accounts) in any one of the HS companies by depositing money into the trust account of Pretoria attorneys Eugene Kruger & Co. Incorporated.
The FSB says the agreements signed by investors in response to the prospectus of HS 21 made no provision for the property syndication's obligation to secure transfer of properties before withdrawing money from the trust account to purchase them. It thereby contravened a 2006 Department of Trade and Industry (dti) Notice gazetted in terms of the Unfair Business Practices Act (formerly the Consumer Affairs Act), which stipulates that investor funds can only be withdrawn from a trust account in the event of transfer of the property.
Pickvest claimed that Kruger advised it that the notice did not apply to them. The reasons given by Kruger for this opinion were chiefly that the dti continued to register company prospectuses after March 2006 even where these contained provisions that were not in accordance with the notice in question.

She didn't like me because I was a total slob. I don't blame her.
But breakups have a way of bringing people together and that's pretty much how we became friends. She listened to me bawl my eyes out and before long, we were inseparable. (Mostly because we didn't have any other friends). She began teaching me life skills like how to cook and also how to clean and be a normal functioning human. We made a mural out of hijacked paper, camped in our front yard, regularly walked two miles to eat rice cakes& bananas, and did a lot of yoga (sleeping on yoga mats).
That summer flew by in a jif and a few years later we decided it was worth rekindling that ol' good roommateship we had going on. So we moved into a ghetto apartment that was overflowing with mold and plumbing issues. Everything was fine n' dandy until PLOT TWIST Mr. Brandon shows up. *commence watch-dog-protective-friend instincts* You know what I mean. When there is a fishy dude tryna jeopardize your roommateship and get with your bestie, you become an angry-faced mother hen. Sorry Brandon. He started swinging by more and more and began performing choreographed dances with his friends for us. I still wasn't too keen on the idea, until I saw how happy Ariah was when he was around… that made things tolerable.
Over the next year, I watched them date, wed, grow, laugh & throw sarcasm around like candy. I have since forgiven Brandon for stealing my roommate. He turned out to be a really funny guy who is into things like barefoot running and prank calling people. They are a pretty good match considering she really enjoys that too.
So with that long winded intro *I PRESENT TO YOU* a visual mini-documentary of these two lil creatures who changed my life. SIDE NOTE: took these at like 1pm. Every photographer knows that is the worst time to take pictures. But maybe that's a total lie because the diversity of light and shadow in these photos is like uh blowing everything off the lid of what I thought was true. *ps at the end there's a gif
PS this was our mural.
I don't typically comment on posts, but as a long time reader I thought I'd drop
in and wish you all the best during these troubling times.
From all of us at Royal CBD, I hope you stay well with the COVID19 pandemic
progressing at an alarming rate.

What do Leonarda da Vinci and Thomas Edison have in common? They were both proponents of polyphasic sleep, which refers to the practice of sleeping multiple times during a 24 hour period, versus the monophasic sleep cycle where we sleep for 6-8 hours and then are awake the remaining 16-18 hours.
Although little research has been done on the effects of Polyphasic sleep on the brain and body, it is rumored that if you follow a sleep pattern of several small naps each 24-hours, perhaps one of these naps being a little longer, you will supposedly reach a euphoric state with more energy and better concentration. The theory behind this is that with each nap, you will quickly enter REM sleep – the most restful and beneficial for the body and mind. With polyphasic sleep, you eliminate the "unnecessary" part of sleep – the non-REM sleep – giving you more hours each day to live your life.
There are various polyphasic sleep patterns. The most rigorous is the Uberman cycle, consisting of 20-30 minute naps every 4 hours. This type of pattern is said to help induce lucid dreams, which are believed to give the dreamer insight into depth, ability and creativity of your unconscious mind. Lucid dreamers can learn to practice creative visualization during their dreams to bring certain intentions and life goals to fruition. The second type, the Everyman cycle, includes one core nap, supplemented by five short 20-30 minute naps. The third is considered most extreme; the Dymaxion cycle consists of sleeping 30 minutes every 6 hours with a total of only 2 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period. There are also cultures that cater to a Biphasic cycle, where the individual sleeps for a longer period at night – about 4 hours – and then takes a long nap mid-day.
Dr. Claudio Stampi, Founder and Director of the Chronobiology Research Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, and author of Why We Nap, studies and researches polyphasic sleep. The video below follows a 49-day experiment led by Dr. Sampi with an Italian male subject following a polyphasic sleep cycle. In a regular night, reaching REM takes 90 minutes to 3 hours before REM sleep begins. Stampi found that in his polyphasic sleep experiment, it takes only couple of minutes. Dr. Stampi states, "The body will automatically prefer to concentrate on the sleep stages or in the sleep parts that are most important and most necessary." Yet, the end of the video is quite funny, and brings up the question if polyphasic sleep is really enough, or if our physical body needs the extra non-REM sleep? And would polyphasic sleep really be possible in our society, anyway?
