An article from Do or Die Issue 6. In the paper edition, this article appears on page(s) 62-64.
A strange thing happened to us in April - we set up camp to defend a piece of land and won. Winning rather surprised us, we'd been kind of looking forward to a nice summer in the sun!
Offham Valley lies near Lewes in the eastern portion of the South Downs. A small and beautiful valley, it consists of a mix of species rich downland, woodland and scrub. Largely untouched because of its steepness it is an oasis of life surrounded by a desert of ploughed fields. It is designated a SSSI, one of the highest 'protections' available in Britain.
The land 'owner', Farmer Harmer, has been paid £40 per hectare by the Ministry of Agriculture to leave the land alone. Getting £40 a year to do nothing might seem to you like a good scam; but Harmer reckoned he could do better. He submitted an application to plough up the land to plant fibre flax, for which he would get £591.16 a hectare. As if this wasn't bad enough, he would he being paid as a result of the Common Agricultural Policy to plant a crop of which there is already a glut. On such agriculturally marginal land the crop would have been low and he'd probably have ploughed it straight back into the ground. Of course, he wouldn't have minded, he would have already cashed the subsidy.
Brighton Friends of the Earth had organised a direct action rota and had been keeping an eye on Harmer. The first day he ploughed about a third of the valley. But he was stopped by a small group (including members of the local Labour Party!) who went 'tractor diving'. Harmer hadn't expected any resistance, even some of his beloved tractor's windows were broken.
Early the next morning seven of us from South Downs EF! appeared, and, with trees Harmer had handily cut down for us, barricaded the track entering the valley. FoE held a well attended press conference overlooking the destruction and suddenly the campaign was big news. (In the light of subsequent events, it is interesting to note that a leading Sussex conservationist stated that day that he thought there was 'zero chance' of saving what remained.)
That afternoon 'Adder Camp' was set up and the land officially squatted. The deadline for seeding the crop was approaching; despite the camp being staffed at night by only 3 - 4 people, we hoped that the eviction process would continue until after the deadline - given a farmer's relatively limited funds.
Some staff at national FoE became quite worried that the campaign would go beyond their control, maybe ruining their precious media image. Much to the annoyance of some local members, who were instrumental in the campaign and one of whom was living on the camp, Brighton FoE 'received orders' that it could not describe Offham as a FoE campaign. In the end this turned out for the better.
Our group has long had the policy of not labelling campaigns. Despite numerous TV interviews no-one ever mentioned they were from EF!, describing themselves instead as 'local people'. This gave the illusion that the camp was a spontaneous action taken by Lewes residents. As a result, large numbers of Lewes people did come up and get involved, who might have been alienated if the campaign had been labelled as FOE or EF! - or worse still, a camp of 'eco-warriors'. The fact that no-one on the hill looked much like the media stereotype of 'an ecowarrior' probably helped. In fact most of the interviews were done by two women who put across more of an image of second world war 'land girls' than crusties. By originally giving an illusion of local involvement, local involvement became more of a reality. Every day more and more local people came up.
Farmer Harmer was nowhere to be seen - he was, according to one copper, 'sitting pulling his hair out at the prospect of a Newbury on his farm'. The tractor had cross-ploughed lots of the downland, but a substantial amount had only had the turf turned over. We set about the long task of 'unploughing' - burying our hands in the earth and turning the turf. Working so closely with it, we noticed for the first time how species rich and intricate the downland flora really was. This was an amazing experience, foot by arduous foot we saw what had been desolation green over. As Barry Lopez puts it:
'I know of no restorative of heart, body, and soul more effective against hopelessness than the restoration of the Earth. Like childbirth, like the giving and receiving of gifts, like the passion and gesture of the various forms of human love, it is holy.' [1]
Meanwhile in the artificial world it was the run up to the election. Tony Blair came to Brighton and was asked if he was against the destruction of the Offham SSSI. He replied, (and I paraphrase), "I've always been against the destruction at Offham. I don't know what the fuck it is - but vote for me!". His statement was faxed to the local Tory MP's, the Environment Minister and his shadows. Suddenly politicians were falling over each other to be the most committed to 'defending Offham'. One local Tory MP, who helped draft the Criminal Justice Act - the legislation under which one activist was cautioned at Offham - pronounced, 'I support the Un-ploughers'.
In a last minute attempt to help out the beleaguered local Tories' re-election chances, and to further his own career, the Environment Minister put a Protection Order on Offham - one of only six in the last 5 years. This forbade Harmer from doing any more work. In a vain publicity stunt, Harmer even came up and turned some turf - until the cameras went away.
We had won. A 'Picnic and Turf Turning' event was held three days later on the Sunday, to celebrate the victory. It was an amazing sight. Lewes people of all ages wound their way through the barricades and up on to the down. It was a sunny day and children were everywhere. All day the turf was turned back. At one point around 250 people with spades, forks or just their hands were lined up across the hill - helping it heal. Everyone really felt it was their victory, and it was.
Taking on farmers is a lot easier than taking on road building. Though the land being defended was much smaller than a road site, the success at Offham has had a knock on effect. Once one farmer successfully scams something, others copy. Brighton FoE were expecting a whole' pile of applications by other farmers, ready to dig up downland. Yet, at the time of writing, no others have been submitted.
Even the local National Farmers Union branch was pressuring Harmer to back down. They were worried that "this might be the Twyford Down of Agriculture" - eg. the opening salvo on a 'new front'. Maybe it will be.
At the '96 EF! gathering there was much discussion about getting together a 'farmageddon' campaign. While campaigns against infrastructure growth like Manchester & Newbury are essential, they give the illusion that ecological destruction mainly happens in the realm of 'mega-developments'. In fact the way we grow our food is the main cause of devastation in this country.
'In 1940, the German Luftwaffe made an aerial survey of much of Britain, especially the east and the south. 'These magnificent photographs', wrote Oliver Rackham in 1986, 'record every tree, hedge, bush, pingo and pond in several counties'. They show that 'except for town expansion, almost every hedge, wood, heath, fen etc. on the Ordnance Survey map of 1870 is still there on the air photographs of 1940. The seventy eventful years between, and even World War two itself, were less destructive than any five years since'. The commonest cause of this post-war orgy of vandalism, Rackham concludes, 'has been destruction by modern agriculture; the second, destruction by modern forestry.'[2]
In fact, 'since 1945 the UK has lost 30% of its rough grazing land, 65% of song thrushes, 90% of meadows, 50% of lowland woodlands, heaths and fens and 140,000 miles of hedgerow.'[3]
Maybe a coming together of 'The Land is Ours' and anti-genetics campaigns could be the catalyst for this 'new front'.
We spent nine gorgeous days at Offham. We saw adders two or three times a day, and once even a deer! Living there and defending the land re-inspired us. If you ever walk the South Downs Way (which crosses Offham), and you come across a beautifully vibrant valley just north of Lewes, kiss the earth and shout to the four winds - "Direct Action Works!".
The Conservation Order is a temporary reprieve. It is only in force until October. Harmer still hasn't pledged not to plough the valley again. Write to him at: Farmer Harmer, Offham, nr. Lewes, East Sussex, and warn him that if he tries again you'll be there to stop him. Don't use your real name.

2 local birders have kindly shared their knowledge of where to find birds around Hobart.
Birding with Don Knowler
An American bird-watcher phoned me to see if I could suggest some birding hotspots around Hobart to keep him occupied before setting sail on a trip to Antarctica. The birder said he had always wanted to undertake a birding trip to Australia but time constraints meant he only had a day in Tasmania after jetting in from the eastern United States.
Unfortunately, as the American pointed out, there is nothing on any website yet that lists Hobart's birding attractions but I told him it wouldn't take me long to draw up my own mini-tour and e-mail it off to him.
Bird-watchers visiting Tasmania, whether they are embarking on a tour to Antarctica or not, really want to see Tasmania's 12 endemic or unique species and all these can be seen with the Hobart city limits, with the possible exception of the forty-spotted pardalote which generally requires a slightly longer journey - to Kingston!
The centrepiece of any bird-watching tour to Hobart has to be the historic Waterworks Reserve just four kilometres from the city centre, but I have to be careful to point out that the location is really only good for woodland and forest birds and, despite its name, it is not a place for rare waterbirds. The upper Waterworks Reserve, which follows the Sandy Bay Rivulet, is also a great place to view southern Tasmanian forest in its near pristine state and to view Tasmanian birds in much the same setting as the Aboriginals would have seen them before the arrival for the first Europeans. The big attraction for me at the Waterworks Reserve are the large flocks of endemic green rosellas forging in the tops of the mature eucalypts and they offer a perfect introduction for foreigners to Australian parrots. With a little luck sulphur-crested cockatoos and yellow-tailed black cockatoos will also make an appearance. Also in the Waterworks Reserve are the yellow wattlebird and Tasmania's four native species of honeyeater (crescent, strong-billed, black-headed, and yellow-throated) and the robin exclusive to the state, the dusky robin. The reserve also offers Tasmanian the native-hen and an array of interesting birds also found on the Australian mainland, like satin flycatcher and dusky woodswallow. I always tell tourists if they have only time for one or two birding location in Hobart, the Waterworks Reserve is the place to go along with the Royal Botanical Gardens for swift parrots.
A trip to Hobart is also incomplete without a trip up Mt Wellington and, for the bird-watcher, this does not just include the spectacular view. On the way up the mountain in a hire car it is well worth stopping off at the Fern Tree Tavern for a walk up the Fern Glade Track opposite the pub which will reveal, with a little luck, Tasmanian thornbill, scrubtit and Tasmanian scrubwren. Any of the Fern tree tracks that follow watercourses lined with ferns are also good for pink robins, Tasmania being the main stronghold for the species although it is found in limited numbers in the south-eastern mainland. On the journey up to the Mt Wellington summit, Tasmanian currawongs, also called mountain or black jays, can be found and as forest gives way to more scattered wind-bent trees flame robins are common in summer. Both the Waterworks Reserve and the mountain slopes also reveal birds of prey like the brown and white goshawk and, with luck, wedge-tailed eagles might make an appearance.
Away from mountain and forest, the Derwent offers unparalleled shorebird and seabird watching. Although outside Hobart city boundaries, a trip must be made to the Ralphs Bay mudflats at Lauderdale for sheer numbers of shorebirds, especially and the sight of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of short-tailed shearwaters out on the Derwent waters. Ralphs Bay is also famous for its large population of pied oystercatchers, the mudflats holding about six per cent of the Australian population. Migratory waders like the eastern curlew and bar-tailed godwits are also common here, but at low tide the extensive mudflats can offer only distant views of these birds and for a closer look the waters around Pitt and Orielton Lagoons near Sorrell provide better vantage points. Although the waders are exciting to watch, many of these species can also be seen in other countries.
When I consider visiting birders, I always think of parrots. I'll never forget my first sight of a sulphur-crested cockatoo and an eastern rosella and I have guaranteed places for sighting these two species. The cockatoos always hang out in the grounds of the Kingborough Sports Centre if they cannot be found nearer Hobart, and eastern rosellas are the easiest of all the parrots to find - on the steps of the Hobart Aquatic Centre where they delight on feeding on the seeds of ornamental silver birch trees there.
Don Knowler is a journalist with the Hobart Mercury. He also writes their bird column and in his spare time watches birds - where ever he may be.

'Smoking and sleeping together risk factors in sudden infant death syndrome'
The combination of smoking during pregnancy and parents who are in the same bed as their infants, would be 'extremely dangerous' for babies.
Infants of this risk group would be no less than 32 times as likely to have sids, according to new research that was published in the New Zealand Medical Journal.
During the study was a three-year study (1987-1990) from New Zealand will be re-examined with a patient review. In such studies a group of patients with a specific disorder compared to a group of patients who have this condition.
In total, there were 137 cases of sids during the three years of the investigation, between march 2012 and February 2015 was carried out.
Risk factors
In New Zealand, the number of babies that dies of sids is higher than in other countries. In particular, for Māori'is the number of deaths is high.
The two biggest risk factors for sids would be smoking during the pregnancy (six times the risk), and the sharing of the parental bed (five times the risk). The combination of the two would be 32 times the risk of sudden infant death syndrome cause compared to infants with both risk factors do not apply.
"Our research shows that many of the risk factors that were demonstrated in the original research today, it is still relevant," said lead researcher professor Edwin Mitchell from the University of Auckland. "The combination of smoking during pregnancy and the sharing of the parental bed is extremely dangerous for babies."

A Glimpse into a Time from the Past.
Unknowingly I step onto the practitioner's path. My body in emergency mode and my brain trying to make sense of a situation no one my age, that I've ever heard of, is facing. I don't know how to figure this out. How do I save this body rapidly giving over to the deadly tumor sending out off-shoots of cancerous cells?
Amongst the chaos of the body, slivers of comprehension shine out into the corners of my brain. They are small beacons of hope, that I will find my way through this situation. These shards of light are opening to a comprehension of how to direct my life toward positivity amongst the despairing looks of adults around me and the fifty percent chance of survival handed down by the doctor. My first task is to figure out how to transfix my brain on the encouraging aspects of the life still within me. Ultimately, to save this life I must delve into the deep unknown pieces I've sworn to silence. An aspect of self I've pushed away to squelch any retorts while pursuing the longed-for career of being a model in Los Angeles.
The potential of dying at the age of twenty prompted a journey I've now been quietly pursuing for over thirty years, the practitioner's path. The cancer was my initiation into discovering the elements of a magic potion for the alchemy of life in this body. The ingredients needed for this magical life-potioncome to me through personal encounters, professional pursuits, and a dedication to being a practitioner of lifethrough a Yogic lens. I must pause in this tale of self to clarify what Yogais to me by offering this reflection on it by Sabrina Lobdell,
"True Yoga is about self-realization, the merging of the individual consciousness into Universal Consciousness. In other words, Yoga is the union(coming from the Sanskrit transliteration of the word Yoga – yuj) of the individual soul with God."
I am applying to a PhD program in Leadership and Changeat Antioch University and these are some of my thoughts as I prepare an essay of an autobiographical nature and intent. The countless hours spent in pain, nausea, and sleeplessness opened me to so much. Being an advocate for myself, for the first time in my life, is just one aspect that emerged. The radical change invoked by this experience and what it exposed me to is something I could never predict. Now I envision taking the past thirty plus years of Yogic engagement and the self-empowering life-leadership work (done with others) blending it with my own quest of being a leader in and of my life as the basis for the pursuit of a doctoral degree. Below is a bit of what I am writing to explain what leads me personally and professionally to want to be a doctoral student.
Thirty-ish years ago, once out of survival mode, my focus turns to those in the same situation from which I've just emerged. Amongst the pursuit of academic degrees, I dedicate my working hours to a multitude of non-profit positions all aimed at creating change in the world – health educator at a women's free clinic on the Haight-Ashbury, HIV outreach director in Southeast DC, groups of women living with cancer, and a national trainer of health care providers regarding access issues for diverse populations in medical facilities. My role as facilitator is to open up opportunities for fears to come forth and dreams of the future to be encouraged. If a need emerges and my skill base is relevant, I find a way to create and implement the support system. Joyce Brady, a professor, shares a gem of wisdom to us bright-eyed educators on our first days of pursing a master's degree program in Integrative Health Education. "Go to the community. Watch and listen. Ask clarifying questions. You may know the academic particles; however, they, the community, will tell you what is needed if you listen deeply and be a witness versus the expert." She was so right. Her pointing serves me in diverse and unfamiliar interactions to this very day. No matter what I am working on, what community I move into, or the folks I meet Joyce's guidance remains solid. It lends a deeper curiosity to people and places, so the ego stays out of the way. The latest way this sage advice guides me is in the pursuit of being of service to foster youth through a life-leadership program co-created with colleagues over ten years ago. Post a two-year certification as a Co-Active life coach with the Coaches Training Institute, I spent one very powerful year immersed in their Leadership Program. The course tipped the scale of this practitioner's decade and a half of inner-reflection and self-understanding efforts, out into the wide open.
The dragonfly tribe, our cohort's given name, will not let me hide. My companions to this intensive process hold me as nothing less than a leader. This label, leader, commences a whole new unraveling of self-perception and reflection for me. By the end of the year I find myself marrying the deep calling to be a change agent for underserved populations of youth and the desire to step into a leadership role. A handful of dragonfly women and myself take the final project of the program as a call to formulate and deliver an offering, akin to our own experience. A two-year process of thoughtful engagement, elaboration, and co-active creation results in a four-year life-leadership experience for youth. Even though I have the least experience as a professional leader in this group I step forward to co-facilitate the formation of Catalyst Youth Leadership Project. Shortly, after the designing process starts the dragonfly ladies and I meet, Kenadie, the founder of an organization serving foster girls from the inner-city regions of Los Angeles County. The two organizations combine services to offer a multi-level interactive self-empowerment leadership summer camp with winter supplements for this community of young gals. Our aim is the presentation of this multi-level embodied leadership program and the subsequent holding of spacefor youth to engage and use the practices to transform their perception of self as another statistic of perpetual poverty into a young woman who is empowered to know herself and choose an authentic path of personal success. I am grateful to say the synergy between organizations is beating the national averages of graduation from high school, college engagement, teenage pregnancy, and incarceration rates amongst this population of youth.
The blending of knowledge from my own quest of life through the Yogic lens coupled with the awareness cultivated as a witness and advocate of others on their path of personal evolution is the vision now emerging.

Best Western Heath Court Hotel, Newmarket
The Best Western Heath Court Hotel, along with four other Arlington group hotels (two of which are Best Western branded), located in Norwich, Wroxham, North Walsham, and Swaffham, had CCTV fitted by I-HT in order to reduce opportunist theft and increase security. By their very nature, hotels generally operate an open door policy and it's therefore very difficult to ensure the security of property and buildings and the safety of Staff and guests. A major concern was to reduce theft and therefore loss of personal property and revenue to the hotels. Mr Easter said "I felt I needed to make sure both staff and customers were safe and secure whilst on each of the premises, with additional knowledge that my own assets are being monitored effectively".
At Heath Court Hotel, we recommended a CCTV system with a combination of high resolution internal minidome cameras and external infrared day/night bullet cameras, ideal for targeting problem areas such as receptions, kitchens and car parks. Mr Easter says "security is an ever increasing issue and you have to bear in mind safety due to the vulnerability of Staff", not only does the CCTV "act as a deterrent to potential issues of disorder" but it also increases general observation and awareness.
In addition to the CCTV system, we set-up an internet connection that enables Mr Easter to gain remote internet access not only to The Heath Court Hotel, but also to the CCTV at the four other Arlington group Hotels. Mr Easter stated "we find it extremely beneficial to be able to gain instant remote access to each hotel at any time, it also allows us to be more aware of business flow, security and staff productivity. We are very happy with the quality of installation and also the quality of the images. The system has already been a great benefit to our company."

I'm making an app which will have to use a local database and access to a remote one (by webservice). Android and iOS only, don't need WP.
I started it as shared project and not PCL, and i'm wondering if it was a good idea.
The app is simple, kind of listing app, store and retrieve data from database, store other data in local database (to not download it everytime). I just saw it's the best for small projects and small teams.
But every tread i read about sqlite databases talk about PCL projects and not Shared ones. Is there a real difference?
So now i haven't went very deep in development yet, maybe i should recreate the project as PCL?
I think you should try with .netstandard
But the question remain, should i use PCL then? Because on shared project there is nothing like References in "Portable" folder.
I think the future is .netstandard, a new "PCL", but this is my opinion

Snack Review
Taste test: As a mint chocolate addict who likes pretzels too, it took me approximately no time flat to decide to buy this bag after I spotted it on the shelf.
However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the actual coated pretzels looked almost nothing like the picture on the bag. The bag showed pretzels heavily coated in bright green (so thick that you couldn't see the pretzel through it) with many small chocolate pieces stuck onto each pretzel. The actual pretzels had a very uneven green coating that you could see through, with about one-tenth as many chocolate pieces. The appearance didn't really matter much, as these were still quite good, with a nice mint taste and some salty pretzelness to taste as well. The lack of much chocolate didn't help, but it wasn't a real problem either, as creamy mint worked well on its own. The coated pretzels had a softer crunch than the regular non-coated varieties of the flattened Pretzel Crisps, but these still tasted very good. As for presentation, a limited-edition holiday flavor like this would be great to put out at a party if they looked like the ones in the picture, but looking like they did, not so much.
Shop: Buy Pretzels on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Great mint smell, like minty, chocolate-dipped Oreos! Mmmm!
From the package: "We've dipped our all natural, thin and irresistibly crunch Pretzel Crisps® in a rich, creamy, mint chocolate flavored coating and then sprinkled each one with chocolate cookie chips."

Anywhere wheels are on the ground, Paradox Access Solutions has been solving or improving the pavements those wheels roll upon.
- Roads: The demand for quality roads and highways has grown steadily and is expected to grow further as the world gets increasingly mobile. See how Paradox adds durability without adding cost to paved and unpaved roads.
- Mining: The challenge of managing the movement and costs of a fleet of earthmoving machines into, out of and around a mining site is daunting.
- Forestry: The timber industry knows well that trees grow where trees grow best: invariably a place that is tough to get to. Whether an access road or a stable work yard is needed, Paradox has the solution. For more details please read more.
- Utilities: Power line and pipeline rights of way can go for hundreds of miles over mountains and through swamps. Maintenance people need ready and reliable access.
- Rail: Trains move tremendous loads long distances, requiring rail beds to be strong and stable. Paradox combines geotechnical engineering and Tough Cell geocells to reduce costs and provide a stable and safe ride.
- Sea & Airports: Large tracts of land need to be flat, stable and strong to support the activity at our airports and seaports. If the natural terrain is complicating things, Paradox has ways to ensure success.

The AirJelly, a massive floating jellyfish created by the German automation masters at FESTO, should be terrifying, but it's not. In fact, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen take flight.
Propelled by eight electric-driven tentacles and lifted by a spherical helium-filled body, the AirJelly moves through the air with a unique grace. But why make a big flying jellyfish in the first place? Basically to see if a big flying jellyfish was possible, the designers explain:
Can the jellyfish's motion through water serve as a propulsion principle for an airborne object? In other words, is it possible to glide through the air as a jellyfish swims through water?…Seeking recourse to jellyfish as a source of inspiration for powering gas-filled balloons is an obvious thought; after all, a jellyfish consists of water to 99%. Its weight-to-volume ratio is approximately 1, and the figure is similar for a gas-filled balloon.
Well, guys, good thinking. [Katie Linendoll via Biz Stone]

Orioles, Braves, Tigers concepts
Baseball uniform concepts for the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers by CCSLC user "wdm1219inpenna". They all include v-neck pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants with striped waistbands. I can envision the Orioles wearing the all orange uniform both at home and on the road. I can envision the Braves wearing the blue jersey for all games as well. The Tigers concepts bring the Ultimate Baseball Look to Detroit for the first time ever! The home white uniform with blue and orange trim is a huge improvement and could revitalize a sport that is perceived as old and tired. Another Golden Age of the Baseball Uniform can still happen. Normally Chris Creamer's forum is a forum to avoid if you have any respect for yourself and others, but these concepts have a lot of potential.

Padres, Rays, Diamondbacks, Marlins Concepts
San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Arizona Diamondbacks and Miami Marlins baseball uniform concepts designed by a guy named Ben Traxel. These were originally found in a 2009 Uni Watch entry. These were identified as "alternate" uniforms. V-neck pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants with a striped waistbands. I'm intrigued by the Padres version but feel the colors are too similar to the greatest color scheme the Seattle Mariners used and hopefully will use again.

1981 & 1982 Portland Beavers
The 1981 & 1982 Portland Beavers, while the Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, wore black v-neck pullover jerseys and black sansabelt baseball pants with a striped waistband. The red and white trim gave the Beavers a similar color scheme as the Portland Trail Blazers. A few former major leaguers at the end of their playing careers played for the Beavers at this time such as Luis Tiant in 1981 and Willie Horton in both 1981 & 1982. The Ultimate Baseball Look during the Golden Age of the Baseball Uniform.

Portland Beavers
The 1984 & 1985 Portland Beavers minor league baseball team had nice uniforms. They were a Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies back then. They wore v-neck pullover jerseys with both pinstripes and racing stripes! The downside is they wore belted baseball pants.

St. Louis Cardinals - Stan Musial
Well after his playing career had ended, St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial became an advocate for real, modern baseball uniforms. When the Cardinals wisely let go of archaic, 19th century, flannel uniforms with that oppressive, heavy, heat stroke inducing fabric and the constricting, clunky belts in 1971 and switched to real athletic wear, pullover jerseys and sansabelt baseball pants with a striped waistband, Musial couldn't resist trying them on. He gloated over Yankees hero Mickey Mantle, who was still clad in the Yankees flannel clown costumes and had some fun with Cardinals player Joe Torre in the button and belt-free freedom the Ultimate Baseball Look provided.

How to Increase Your Lead Capture Form Conversions
If your contact form submissions are not yielding as many leads as you were hoping for, you are not alone. Only 22% of businesses are happy with their conversion rate, meaning a large majority of businesses need help!
So what are so many businesses missing?
Surprisingly, it may have nothing to do with the products and services that are being offered. It may, in fact, be the form itself.
Here are some changes to the form itself that can increase leads.
Use Images
Contact forms can be daunting for people when there are too many fields.
While it is beneficial to collect information such as location and income, it can be intimidating to users filling in the form.
Often, the effort users make to fill out all the fields is not worth their time and the reward at the end is not enough to motivate them.
Using multiple choice with images to select is a lot more interesting to look at and more engaging than plain text.
Pre-filled Form Fields
Also known as smart forms, these will fill in fields with data that you've already collected from the user.
If most of the form is already done, it makes it far easier to make the decision to fill in the rest and submit. In fact, 140% more likely according to IronMountain. The brand tested this and found it increased their leads by 140%.
Put All Fields in One Column
As mentioned earlier, contact form fields can scare off potential leads.
Having all your form fields in one column is far easier to take in, and less information to process.
It seems very simple, but it is effective. A study found that single-column forms are completed 15.4 seconds faster than multi-column alternatives.
Be Specific With Your Call-To-Action
When you see a call to action button, you'll probably be looking at a button that says 'Buy', 'Submit' or 'Sign Up'. While this lets the customer know what clicking the button will do, it is the bare minimum information, and isn't interesting.
Instead, you can use some terms relevant to your form, and give your customer some more information.
For example, if you are providing a free perfume sample, your CTA could read 'Receive Your FREE Perfume Sample'.
This transparency will reassure any anxious customers, as they will know exactly what is going to happen when they click the button. It is not uncommon for a customer to not submit due to fear of the unknown. Will they be asked for more information, or credit card details?
Use Condition Logic
You can avoid a lot of unnecessary questions in a lengthy form by narrowing down the questions based on the responses.
For example, your form provides customers with holiday destinations, you can narrow down your questions based on the holiday they want. Eg it would be redundant asking someone looking into a winter holiday if they want to be close to the beach. As such, you can have different branches of questions that are tailored to the user.
This will give the user a far more relevant experience. Plus, they will be more invested in filling in the fields as it will be very relevant to them.
So, Improving conversions can be as simple as changing a few sections of your form!
However, one thing to ensure is that your form is working and blocking spam. If not, your will leads will not get through or will be tough to filter out from the bad submissions.

The Holiday Weight Gain, What Can I Do?
|Posted by Administrator (admin) on Dec 11 2007
|Ask Dr. Sharon >> Ask Dr. Sharon
Dear Dr. Sharon,
I am a 56 year old Black woman. I read your column in Gospel Today every month and it has helped me refocus on my health. I have been doing well with following my doctor's instructions for my high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol for the last 5 months. I have begun to walk at least three times a week and feel good about my progress. Although I have a long way to go, I have lost 14 pounds since making the healthy life changes. My children are 17 and 15, they needed to make some health changes as well as they are both overweight, they have lost a few pounds with me.
My concerns are for the upcoming months, how do I keep my healthy changes through the holidays? My family comes in from out of town and everyone comes to my house, we do Thanksgiving and Christmas BIG and I am usually the one that does most of the cooking and therefore a lot of eating/tasting. I know that I have done well but I am afraid of "falling off the wagon" during the holidays. Do you have any suggestions or help; I don't want to go backwards. Monique Raleigh,
Dear Monique,
We ALL have issues with overeating which is often worse during the holidays. The very fact that you recognize that the holidays are going to be a potential problem means that you can begin to attack it head on. It's time to make a fundamental shift in how those holidays are viewed and the main focus.
Email me your address and I will send you a copy of my new book; "Is That Fried Chicken Wing Worth It?" so that you can continue to have that mindset change. Bottom line for all of us; are those extra calories and extra weight worth the few minutes of pleasure in the mouth? That is the question that we must all ask ourselves!
Try these healthier recipe substitutions!
Instead of...
Whole milk
Skim or 1% milk
Evaporated milk
Evaporated skim milk
Light cream
Equal amounts 1% milk & evaporated skim milk
1 cup butter
1 cup margarine or 2/3 cup vegetable oil *
Margarine *
Nonfat or light mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 whole egg
1/4 cup egg substitute or 2 egg whites
Low fat cheese
Sour cream
Nonfat or low fat sour cream or yogurt
Fat to "grease" pan
Nonstick cooking spray
*Note: The texture of baked goods may be different when you use these substitutions. Experiment to find out what works best for you.
- Realize that this is a difficult time and that you are not perfect but every day that you strive to stay on track is a positive step. The holidays are a time of family and friends but more importantly our focus should be on God's grace, mercy and ultimate sacrifice of His Son. Spend time reflecting on the real reason for the season and sharing with your family, this will help alleviate the pressure of the "perfect meal" as we refocus on our perfect God.
- Keep up with the exercise and add a few extra minutes to combat any extra calories that you may take in. Additionally, try to work in some other family activities that will burn calories like raking the leaves, going skating, shoveling snow or whatever will get you moving. Simple things like taking the stairs, parking further away from the grocery store or mall entrance will burn calories that add up. The exercise will also help combat the extra stress that most of us experience during the holidays.
- Drink a full glass of water prior to each meal and keep a glass near you while cooking. The water has no calories and can be filling so that you avoid some of the heavy snacking which really is a "mini" meal.
- Save your calories—if you know that the family is coming over for a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and that Auntie Cleo is going to make your favorite sweet potato pie, and Big Mama is going to fry the chicken which you can't resist; plan for it. Make sure that you exercise, drink plenty of water and go light at breakfast and lunch.
- Begin new family traditions and recipes. Do you really need to use butter or will low fat margarine taste just as good on those rolls or in that turkey? What about roast chicken wings vs. fried wings? Instead of all of the starchy foods, add a few more vegetables and a fabulous salad with lite dressing. Avoid the salty foods and find low salt spice alternatives. There are a ton of websites and cookbooks that focus on "lightening up" holiday foods and I would suggest that you try some of the recipes prior to the actual holiday meal. This will help you and your children to reshape the family recipes and move you to another place in your healthy lifestyle.
- For office parties or church events, make sure that you load up on the vegetables and avoid the higher calorie foods. If it is potluck, bring the foods that you need to eat so that you assure that you don't totally lose it. Avoid alcohol which provides empty calories that your waistline cannot afford. Another tip would be to eat a small salad before the holiday party, the worst thing that you can do is go to a party hungry.
- Since you are diabetic, it is important for you to monitor your blood sugar during the holidays and often we recommend that you increase the number of times that you test it each day. For diabetics, it is really important for you to stick as close to your proper diet regimen as possible. Unfortunately, if your blood sugar gets really high or low, you will immediately feel the consequences which will severely hamper your holidays.
- Enjoy the holidays, the family, friends and yes even the food but in moderation. Recognize that this is a time of fellowship but that food is not the focus nor is it the enemy—you don't want to feel deprived so make good choices and start over each day. If you fall off the wagon, don't let this be the opening of the floodgates and abandon your new healthy lifestyle—pick yourself up and start again. Avoid the blame game and beating yourself up; just begin again.

The concept of acute renal failure (ARF) has undergone significant re-examination in recent years.Mounting evidence suggests that acute, relatively mild injury to the kidney or impairment of kidney function, manifest by changes in urine output and blood chemistries, portend serious clinical consequences.1–5 Traditionally, most reviews and textbook chapters emphasize the most severe reduction in kidney function, with severe azotemia and often with oliguria or anuria. It has only been in the past few years that moderate decreases of kidney function have been recognized as potentially important, in the critically ill,2 and in studies on contrast-induced nephropathy.4

Benefits for you
If you create a borderless account with Transferwise using this link, you won't pay any conversion fees the first time you convert up to £500.
If you use this Revolut link, you can order your debit card for no extra charges.
Transferwise is available in over 40 countries. You can find the list here. Revolut is only available for the Euro Zone.
Currency conversion
Ok, so first things first. The goal here is to convert money you already have into a new currency, most likely pounds, to use while you are in the UK.
With Transferwise, you will have to pay a small currency conversion fee, depending on the currency and country. To put this in numbers, if you want to convert say 50€ to pounds, you may be charged 0.60-0.80€ for it.
With Revolut, you can exchange currencies close to the market rate without having to pay any fees. I think you can see the winner here.
Account maintenance
There are no costs with holding or opening a borderless account with Transferwise. Your only fees are when you are converting or transferring money. So if you decide you don't want to use it, you can just "leave" the account there.
With Revolut, you can start with a free plan but may want to upgrade to unlock some features, such as increasing the amount of money you can withdraw at an ATM or order a contactless card. The Premium account costs at the moment 7.99€/month.
User experience
Transferwise has a good dashboard that you can use from a desktop, plus a nice and easy to use mobile app.
Revolut for personal accounts is a mobile app and you do not have easy access to a computer dashboard.
Why is this important? In case you have more than one phone or change phones regularly, you may not want the hassle of having Revolut on several phones.
Debit cards
Both Transferwise and Revolut allow you to order a Mastercard debit card that will use up the appropriate currency when paying in different countries.
Transferwise's card is free to order, arrives within 10 working days (often way less than that) and is contactless. There are no fees to maintain your card.
Revolut's card also has no maintenance fees, but you may need to pay delivery of the card if you don't order your card shortly after creating your account.
Virtual cards
Revolut allows you to create virtual cards, which you can use on ecommerce stores like amazon. Transferwise does not give you virtual cards, only the debit card (which you can still use in most places). If you do a lot of online shopping, then Revolut is a better choice so you can avoid using your actual card number.
Withdrawing money from ATM machines
When you have a debit card, you can then use it to withdraw money from your virtual accounts. You can withdraw up to £200 per month for free with Transferwise, paying a small 2% fee after.
With Revolut, the value is similar, but you can upgrade to a Premium account and increase the value you can withdraw to £400.
Transferwise does not provide you with any benefits for travelling.
With an upgraded Revolut account though, you can get travel insurance and medical insurance included, as well as cheaper airport lounge access. Useful if you travel a lot to different countries!
So… what's my favourite?
They are both very strong contenders! I started by using Transferwise a lot more than Revolut. I did not like the fact that I was going to have to pay to get my Revolut card, but in the end I compromised and paid the 5€ fee… I currently use both of them! Transferwise is very good for me to "hold" money and withdraw it from the ATM, Revolut is much better for the conversions and online shopping. I really like the idea of the travel benefits you get when you upgrade your Revolut account – but I see it as a way of just spending more money!!!
So in other words, although I really love Transferwise and would recommend it to everyone in a heartbeat, Revolut is slowly winning my heart!!!
Either way – my recommendation is that you get one of them, whichever you feel you will prefer to use. Any of them will save you a lot of money in currency conversions and they both work as a bank account, so one less thing for you to worry about when you move to the UK!

I have got beers and wines subscriptions several times before from various sites. Though most of them were quite good in terms of product (wines/ beer) and services, this one totally beats them all at it. On time delivery, careful packaging, brilliant stuff and great service. Recommended for craft beer enthusiasts.
I really appreciate you for the selection of the beers who have sent under this subscription. There were some of the best ones we have had recently. My wife is especially fond of it and we are definitely going to renew it. It also would make an elegant and exquisite gift for special people in one's life.

About The Adventures of Dr McNinja comics
He possesses superhuman strength, speed, and abilities. Dr. McNinja got it all hidden underneath a button down short, slacks, a lab coat, and stethoscope. He sports a ninja mask to hide his face, revealing only auburn eyebrows and blue eyes.
He is a cliché ninja with unique twists of personally, for one he is a medical doctor who also practices crime fighting. Not only that, unlike typical superheroes Dr. McNinja's first name has never been revealed, so far.
McNinja's personality oddities includes a desperation to be Batman and his sensitivity to his parent's criticism (disappointed at how their ninja son wastes time being a doctor). His duty both as a ninja and a doctor has caused him more troubles he can barely handle.
Created by Chris Hastings, Dr. McNinja is a new webcomic that follows the humorous and superhero feats of the titular character. McNinja's first issue debuted on the summer of 2004 with updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Take a look at this instructional video and learn how to wrap your bicycle handlebars. The direction you take in rolling the tape is extremely important. You'll want to start on the bottom of the drop, work your way up around the brake shift lever, and all the way to the top. By going through bottom to top, you'll get a smooth transition as your hand slides down the bars. If you roll it in the opposite direction, your hand sliding down the bar will unravel the tape and wear it out prematurely.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Red Hat already had a certification program for making sure apps run as intended on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL); now it is adding a service that will certify Linux apps that are properly configured to run in a container.
Containers are similar to virtualization in that they run applications in an isolated space on a server and make it easier to shift workloads around. However, containers don't require a hypervisor, like virtualization does, and containerized apps running on the same server share an operating system. They're becoming popular as enterprises look for ways to make it easier to move applications from one cloud computing service to another or from a private cloud to a public cloud.
Red Hat's Marty Wesley said, "We see containers as having the potential to shift how IT is done."

|Pretty lashes but they left me bald!
Anyway, a friend told me about Mavala. She said she had been using it and liked it. It was a lot less expensive than the prescription and I could get it on Amazon. So I ordered some. I applied it like mascara randomly here and there. It never really did anything, but I also wasn't following instructions or applying it on a regular basis.
I've been seeing more and more lash thickening products on Facebook. My first issue with most of them is that their "before" photo is someone's regular ol' sad lashes with no mascara. And their "after" photo always has them wearing mascara! It makes me crazy!!! Of course they look longer and fuller!
|Regular ol' lashes
So if you are looking for a lash thickener, check out Mavala! You can get in on the Amazon link below.

At EEDI studio we are committed to design for wellbeing.
We believe that good design, by helping to create authentic emotional experiences can enhance our sense of belonging. Our approach is to consider the subtle relationships between light, texture, form, function and beauty, understanding that simplicity is often the most practical and elegant of choices in the design process.
With a love of natural materials we focus on honouring the lineage of each material we use, conscientiously incorporating as much detailing and craft as possible into each design.
Collaboration is central to our process. We value the insights, strength and innovation which comes through the honest relationships with our clients and team.
In essence, the human experience informs everything we do. We are inspired to bring design into the wider story of what makes us flourish as a society and how the places we inhabit can contribute to a healthy sense of connection and identity.
And what ultimately makes great design for us? Well, we can never quite answer that, for we believe that the best designs leave room for mystery, ease and imagination- essential qualities which inform all our products, services and spaces.
On Homes
In today's fast paced world our homes are our sanctuaries.
It is at home where we seek to be totally at ease with ourselves, our loves and the people we invite into our lives.
Our homes are the places where memories are stored and memories are made, and so should be designed to grow with us as the patterns of our relationships change through time.
Increasingly homes are becoming blended spaces for work as well as family life. We need to move between spaces for intimacy, relaxation, domesticity and play into spaces of productivity and concentration. Design can be the link between these too, making our lives flow better and therefore making them easier.
Our homes, in that sense, become another relationship in our lives, contributing to our sense of security, wellbeing, love and belonging.
