L. Michelle Smith talks diversity and winning at AT&T
Name: L. Michelle Smith
Title: Director, public relations, AT&T Global Marketing Organization
Organization: AT&T
L. Michelle Smith is the voice and timbre of diversity at AT&T. She also leads the team that executes the communications for the award-winning "It Can Wait" campaign. Industry leaders have said that when Smith speaks, it causes ripples across the marketing industry. She has been called The Culture Guru, as she spreads the gospel about how multicultural markets are the new mass market. She is urging brands to get ready for the dawning of the browning of America.
What is your role at AT&T?
I am a consumer insights expert who is helping one of the world's most respected Fortune 10 companies prepare for our nation's new reality — an unwired, digitally-driven, multicultural and global society. I lead diversity and citizenship and sustainability corporate communications for AT&T.
What qualifications prepared you for this job?
I have more than 20 years of experience as an integrated marketer and communicator at three top global agencies. I also owned my own agency. I am a natural-born leader, entrepreneur, innovator, motivator, technophile and culture guru.
What are the three most important factors of being a successful woman?
Servant leadership, tenacity and emotional intelligence.
How has technology changed the way you approach your work?
Technology enables everything I do, personally and professionally. I remember needing a way to stay connected with my small client base when I started my agency around 2002. The smartphone was my answer. Now, I'm able to remain connected to the Internet when my schedule takes me on the road so that I can respond to emails on the fly or review documents that need to be approved before going external. But I also stay connected to what inspires me, whether it is emailing my daughter's teacher to check on her day at school, streaming music on my commute or streaming my church services on Sundays when I'm on the road.
Who or what motivates you and why?
My faith in God motivates me, and my 4 year old daughter Joni keeps me focused on the most important things in life.
What advice do you wish to offer other women that are seeking a similar career path?
Discover your expertise, but zero in on your passion. Somewhere in between, you will find your purpose.
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be? Why?
I would change hearts and minds as it pertains to understanding and accepting others who may not look, act, believe or think like we expect them to.
What is your guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is binge-watching series like "The Get Down," "A Different World" or "Luke Cage" on Netflix.
Favorite vacation destination?
Martha's Vineyard
Favorite wuote or words of wisdom?
"When you pray move your feet." –African Proverb
Smith calls herself a "Gladwellian Connector" which is evident in her recent participation at the Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit in Phoenix, Arizona. Smith helped bring the most influential women in Hollywood, Corporate America and Madison Avenue in one place to celebrate sisterhood in honor of NY Best Seller Luvvie Ajayi.
The room was filled with glass-ceiling breaking women such as, Bozoma Saint John, Global Marketing lead at Apple Music, noted motion picture and film producer Debra Martin Chase, Teen Vogue Editor-In-Chief Elaine Welteroth, director and special assistant to Michelle Obama, Kristin Jones, and Cynt Marshall, SVP of HR, chief diversity officer at AT&T, who provided opening remarks.
When Smith isn't on the road speaking and launching multi-year initiatives with top talent on behalf of AT&T, she's chasing after the love of her life, her 4-year-old daughter Joni, whom she says has even more smarts and tenacity than she does. Smith was also honored as one of Steed Media's Top 25 Women of Dallas.

|Before traveling to Columbus, OH this Fall, I researched clubs, shows and venues that would be featuring exotic male dancers. There was one advertisement that stood out for two reasons. First, it read "6 Hunky Men" and second, it also stated that Hellin Bedd's Jock Night is the Biggest Longest Male Revue in the city. I like six. I like big. I like long. That was enough bait to lure me in! Friday night was going to be spent with 6 Hunky Men and Hellin Bedd at Axis Nightclub.

|We found quick and easy parking in a pay lot for $5 a few blocks from Axis Nightclub. My partner, a local Ohio friend, and I arrived a little early to the club. There was another show going on so we stepped across the street to Union Cafe and had an adult beverage. I had a JACK and coke. Yes, mostly Jack, and some coke. A strong drink that was most welcomed. I was feeling the butt ache of a 13 hour road trip. (Dirty minds, I know butt ache for you means something else.) I'm always ready to watch the dancing almost-naked boys. And since I am actually a alcohol light weight, the JACK and coke had induced a vacation relaxation. I was happy, feelin' no pain, and ready for the show.

|At the appropriate time we stepped back across the street and entered Axis Nightclub. We paid a $5 cover and then found our way into an area where there is a stage and a lower area that is a dance floor. For this show, the dance floor area was where the majority of the audience would stand, watch and tip the dancing boys. Opposite to the stage is a raised area where a bar is located. You can also watch the show from there or from two higher walkways on each side of the room. The three of us found a seating area along one wall where we could view the stage, and I could place my tired ass on a cushy seat.

|I have been around drag queens for much of my adult life, and currently have several friends who perform, entertain and compete in pageants. I have also been known to photograph one or two of them from time to time. I have noticed that there are four different types of drag queens: entertainers, pageant competitors, divas and tragedies. Now, a drag queen can be a mix, but my favorite type is the entertainer. That is exactly what you get with Hellin Bedd. Combine her witty reparte with 6 hunky male dancers and you're in for one hell of a show! And that is exactly what we experienced.
|Each of the six male dancers took turns coming out on the stage when introduced by Ms Bedd, and stripping from a costume down to their undies. The male dancers for the night were Johnny W Dangerously, Trayce Shadows, Trouble, Gavin Beck, Tyler Devereaux and Xander. I'll have to admit, I was giddy like a little school girl. I had been following each of these dancers on social media for several months. And you know how everyone has a type of guy that they are really into? Well, each of these guys are my type. Yes, with this group of six, I will change my definition to match each one depending on which one is in front of me at the time. "Catch them all!"

|Let's break it down now. Johnny W Dangerously is the definition of sexy. It's no wonder he is a popular dancer in the Ohio clubs, as well as those in surrounding states. I've featured Johnny in several blogs. So, you can definitely say he is popular with Males In Motion as well.
Photo Source: Trayce Shadows Facebook
|Trayce Shadows has not been dancing that long but he is already stirring up interest...among other things. All you have to do is look into his eyes and you'll fall under his spell. I promise, I did look up higher and see his face at least once or twice, and saw his eyes. Yes, the lower view is quite nice. (Excuse me while I take a short break here and do some "remembering". I'll be back in a moment.)
Photo Source: Tyler Devereaux Facebook
|I was glad to see that Tyler Devereaux brought that booty out of retirement and is performing again. With his boy-next-door good looks and athletic body, he can definitely fulfill many of our jock fantasies. And did I mention his ass! OMG!
Photo Source: Trouble Facebook
|I don't know how much Trouble he actually gets into, but all I'm going to say is that Trouble tends to cause a certain kind of lap trouble. It must be quite embarrassing for many a gay man who has had to wait a little while after Trouble has performed before getting up from his seat. Tent city would need to be dismantled. Can you imagine all the male members of the audience walking around with boners? I can, but I have been told I have a vivid imagination. And thanks Trouble for the inspiration.
Photo Source: Gavin Beck Facebook
|Several months ago I was scrolling through my Facebook posts and came across some pics of this hot dancer that made me pause and stay awhile. The pics were very creative and sexy as hell. I had to find out more about this dancer. I discovered it was Gavin Beck. People often use the phrase, "...even better in person." Well, honey, if it is possible... Gavin Beck is even better in person. I'll just say it out plain and clear, he causes me to have naughty thoughts. And yes, I have downloaded and saved every pic of his that I could find. Don't judge me. You've been lost in your obsession before.

|If I understood correctly, this was the last night that Xander would be dancing. He has moved into the world of porn under the name of Craig Cameron. You can catch him at activeduty.com. I am glad I had the opportunity to check him out on stage. He was a very nice addition to Hellin Bedd's stable of studs.
|The video clips below were taken that night. They are poor quality because I was a tired lazy ass and didn't get closer. But they show you that it was a sexy and fun show!

|I've come to believe that a night with Hellin Bedd and her 6 hunky studs is magic! Nothing can stand in the way of this theatrical tease! I loved it. I enjoyed Hellin's verbal slays, and fell in love with the dancing boys! If you find yourself in Columbus, OH...search for Hellin Bedd. Believe me, she gets around! And there are sure to be some hotties in her company. You'll enjoy the show! Hellin (Brett Richards), to you I say, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Thank you for all you do to keep the boys dancing! It is enjoyed and appreciated!
|At the time I wrote this blog, Gavin Beck was in Facebook jail...naughty boy! (He has been released!) Please keep crossing the line. I want more of your sexy pics saved on my hard drive. Until next time, don't forget to tip the boyz! And the fabulous MC's like Hellin!

Meltdown In Columbus
O'Connors Club 20 ~ Columbus, OH
Club Review
Johnny, Grayson & Mason Photo Source: O'Connors Club 20
|An extended weekend in the Columbus, OH area was scheduled several months in advance. This weekend was going to be one for fun and merriment. It was a time to let off steam, and watch the boys "wiggle". My partner and I were going to visit one of our closest friends. And of course, I would research and find out which clubs had male dancers, and which male dancers I wanted to see and tip. There was one that I knew would be at the top of my list, Johnny W Dangerously. I have been following Johnny online for the past year or more. I have also chatted with him several times. He was featured in my Valentine's blog back in February. And then again in the "Boys Of Columbus" blog this past summer. I have described Johnny as the hardest working exotic male dancer I know. The guy dances almost every night of the week. His schedule takes him around Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and more.

|When determining which clubs to visit while in the Columbus area, I saw that Johnny was going to be at O'Connors Club 20. That sealed the deal, and on Sunday night, I was there for the "Show n' Tail" night, hosted by Abortia Clinique. There were two other dancers featured for the night as well, Mason Dickson and Grayson Knight-Lites. I'll discuss those two later in this blog but for now, back to Johnny. When he stepped out to do a meet-and-greet with the customers, I recognized that tight body, handsome face, and well, the way he is able to stretch the fabric in the front of his underwear.

(Note: This pic was not taken while we were there. I borrowed it because I love the way he looks in this pair of underwear.)
|As usual I was in my own world, enjoying my beer, talking with my partner and friend, looking forward to the show that was about to begin. Then Johnny moves to our table and starts to speak. This deep sexy voice fills the air and I immediately experience a meltdown. It was similar to one of those situations when a hot guy with a British, Australian or French Canadian accent begins to speak. Only with Johnny's voice, it's one of those times that you just want to lay your head against his chest so you can hear his voice and feel the vibrations as he speaks. Yea, I couldn't tell you a single word he said, but I wanted him to just keep talking.
|The show started and Johnny was the first dancer up. Dressed in shirt, tie, slacks, etc., he looked ready to do a door-to-door sales pitch. Of course, I was already sold. And then the clothes came off and he was down to perfectly fitting underwear. I enjoyed finding new locations to tip my dollar bills. I could also see that my partner and our friend were enjoying Johnny's talents as much as I was.
Mason Photo Source: Mason Dickson Facebook.
|Before I had fully recovered from my Johnny crush, Mason steps out and does his first session. I'm not sure which costume he wore first but I remember him stepping out as a doctor at one point. By that time, my heart was beating so fast, I was ready for a check up. Tall, slim, good looking and let's just say it, hung. He flashed that great smile and it was time for another meltdown.
Mason Photo Source: Mason Dickson Facebook.
|I know I sound a bit dramatic, but hey, I'm gay, it's my right. And seriously, I had just watched two very hot men strip down to their underwear. And then tipped them both up close and personal. By this point, I was as they say, melted "butta"!
Grayson Photo Source: Grayson Knight-Lites Facebook
|There was one more dancer for the night and he was introduced as Grayson. During one of his sessions, Grayson eventually was wearing only a pair of those assless briefs. He had begun this session at the other side of the room and I was watching and definitely enjoying the show. A couple of dollar tips accidentally fell from his waistband. He turned with his ass toward the men who had tipped, bent over and picked up his tips giving them a view of that sexy not-really-covered ass.
Grayson Photo Source: Grayson Knight-Lites Facebook
|That is exactly the show I wanted to see. So, when he moved over toward me, I threw my tip money in the floor. He grinned, turned around and bent over to pick up his tips. Well, HELLO, and yes, I right then and there had a third meltdown. He raised back up laughing. I laughed a little too, but my mind had already gone off in fantasyland, and I decided to stay there for a few minutes. In his next session, he would come out with the one-sided underwear. Yea, I took another visit to that fantasyland then too.
|My favorite type of venue for exotic male dancers is the neighborhood bar. O'Connors Club 20 has that feeling. It is smaller, more intimate, and casual. The bartender, J.R., the staff and customers were all friendly and treated us like family. It wasn't the first bar that I visited during my weekend in Columbus, but it is the one I wanted to write about first. The "Show 'N Tail" night was definitely one of my favorite of the weekend. If ever again in Columbus, OH, and I hope to be, I will definitely visit O'Connors Club 20. There was no cover, and the drink prices fit right in with other similar bars that I have visited. We found convenient parking on the street near the club.
|Special thanks to Johnny, Mason and Grayson for helping us have such a fun night. I hope to see each of you again. For now, I'll be keeping up with your adventures online. Thanks to Abortia Clinique (Bryan Richardson) for putting together a great show. Until next time, be sure and tip the boys. And if they have an ass like Grayson's, throw it in the floor and enjoy watching them pick it up.

OnStar/National General Insurance Pay-As-You-Go Insurance: "The Low-Mileage Discount"
Insurance Discount Helps OnStar Users Drive Less, Save More
National General Insurance is one of the first and largest auto insurance companies in the United States to institute a Pay-As-You-Go insurance program, "The Low-Mileage Discount."
The Low-Mileage Discount is an innovative Pay-As-You-Go insurance program offered to OnStar subscribers in 35 states, where those who drive less, pay less on their auto insurance. (For general info on Pay-As-You-Go insurance, click here.)
The Low-Mileage Discount is the first Pay-As-You-Go insurance to leverage OnStar technology, making the Low-Mileage Discount less invasive than many other Pay-As-You-Go insurance programs. Where some insurers monitor drivers' speeding habits, braking patterns, and even time of day driving, the Low-Mileage Discount Pay-As-You-Go insurance program factors only mileage. No additional data is gathered by the insurer for any purpose.
Eligible, active OnStar subscribers that drive less than 15,000 miles annually can receive an insurance discount of up to 54 percent based on the number of miles driven.* And new National General Insurance Pay-As-You-Go insurance customers may receive an additional insurance discount just for joining (existing OnStar customers receive an insurance discount based on historical mileage).
With the subscriber's permission, the odometer reading from his or her monthly OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics email is forwarded to National General Insurance. Based on those readings, the company applies the insurance discount using the Low-Mileage Discount tiers corresponding to miles driven.
Customers who drive more than 15,000 miles per year are not penalized by National General Insurance's Pay-As-You-Go insurance – all OnStar customers still receive an insurance discount* simply for having an active OnStar subscription, even if they are not eligible for the Low-Mileage Discount.
With the money drivers save by enrolling in the Low-Mileage Discount, the OnStar subscription can not only help lower transportation costs, but also has the added benefits of stability and security with automatic vehicle diagnostics and roadside assistance.
National General Insurance now has over 30,000 subscribers to its Pay-As-You-Go insurance program, and the company plans to offer the Low-Mileage Discount in additional states.
See what the media says about Pay-As-You-Go insurance and the Low-Mileage Discount.
Pay-as-you-drive insurance programs would reduce the number of accidents, the amount of congestion, pollution (including CO2 emissions) and help increase oil security. -Brookings Institute Learn More
If all U.S. motorists had pay-as-you-drive insurance, driving would decline by eight percent nationwide, saving about $50 to $60 billion a year in driving accidents and other car-related damage. -Brookings Institute Learn More
The total U.S. CO2 emissions would decrease by two percent and oil consumption by four percent if all motorists had pay-as-you-drive insurance.

Episode 59 - George Winston
George Winston is an icon of New Age music (or "rural folk piano" as he calls it) and an American treasure. His beautiful piano songs have become a part of the country's fabric and some of his albums, especially 1982's December, are essential recordings no matter the genre. To me, George has been a mysterious figure, ever present, but never in the limelight. I wanted to get to know the man behind the music. Turns out he's a talkative, gregarious, student of music who has created his own world and plays by his own rules. His definition of success is refreshing. Get to know the man behind the music. And listen to the end for details on how you can get some free CDs.

One of the iPhone hackers (developer of course) claims that he found a way to unlock the iPhone 4S without any hardware or software changes. This unlock seems to be working (I haven't tried yet with my AT&T iPhone 4S) only with AT&T version only.
According to Chronic, this procedure will assist you to use your iPhone 4S on T-mobile's network with T-mobile SIM card. You will need to cut the T-mobile SIM to fit into micro SIM slot of iPhone 4S. Proceed at your own risk –
Insert original carrier AT&T SIM card
Dial 611 for AT&T customer service hotline and drop the call
Turn on Airplane Mode
Take out AT&T SIM card
Insert T-Mobile SIM card
Make sure WiFi is off ( also tap on 'Forget this Network" to make sure it doesn't connect automatically later)
Switch off Airplane Mode and iPhone will search for network. This is followed by the Apple splash screen appearing.
Activation Required will be displayed on the screen
EDGE network will activate automatically – notice the 'E' on the top left corner of the screen
Wait for about 20-30 seconds and turn off the phone
Turn on iPhone and the same Activation Required screen will be displayed
When you see one signal bar, tap on Use Cellular Connection
Eject SIM card
Activation Required screen will be displayed the second time
Insert SIM card

You Really CAN Have It Right Now!
Author: Lisa78 (25 Articles)
I am a visual artist from Maine. I love skiing and white water rafting. I am currently a watercolor freak.
Someday I will be happy. Someday I will have enough money. Someday I will have my soulmate in my bed. Someday I will have the health I desire. Someday I will have time to just "be." Someday….
Have you ever said or thought these kinds of thoughts? We all have at some point. They can also be shrouded in "As soon as I finish this, I will focus on that" and other future-focused statements. While I know there is a time and a place for everything, and I know that you can't rush progress, I also know that NOW is all we ever have. People who wait for tomorrow can't fully enjoy today, and tomorrow will never come because it will always become today first. Everything you want will manifest in the present, and never in the future or the past. In fact, Law of Attraction responds to your vibrational offering on everything, so if you think something is in the future, it cannot manifest in your present. So that is why it seems like some things are difficult to attract to you…it's partly because you don't feel them in your experience today…right NOW!
OK, so how do you feel things right now that haven't even materialized yet? You do it with the power of your conscious focus. It's like a game, but it has to be done with complete release of what is so that the vibration of what you want can be experienced right now. Let me give you an example. Let's say you would like more prosperity in your life. Someday, you say, I will not have to worry about money ever again. This focus reinforces that you don't have it today, so your vibrational offering being matched by Law of Attraction is "today I have no money." So your situation can't change very much no matter how hard you work to change it. Law of Attraction just piles on with what ever you offer through your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Instead, use the power of your thoughts, feelings, and actions to experience your flowing prosperity right now. Sit quietly and close your eyes. See yourself doing something you would do if you had the money today. What would it be? Who would you talk to? What would you wear? What would you drive? What would be your goal for the day, now that your prosperity is flowing so very strongly? Imagine all of this coming together in this moment. Reach for the best feeling you can as you do this. Do you feel the joy of having the prosperity? Is there fun in the allowing of the images? See if you can relax and allow fun to be your intention as you focus. Bask in this experience and milk it for all you can.
For the time that you focused, imagined, and enjoyed having your prosperity right now, Law of Attraction shifted people, events, and circumstances to direct you toward a "real" manifestation of all that you imagined. The world changed (the real world) to match your vibration of prosperity. Once you begin to master this process, you will be able to move through any day with the focus on the things you want to create, experiencing them with joy and gratitude. Even as you see things unwanted in the world, you will be able to feel the presence of the wanted things more and more. You will live NOW as if you have the things you want, and the time needed for creating wanted things will decrease greatly. Your life will become a blissful and appreciative journey of loving focus and connection, and you will solve little problems before they become big problems. In short, you will want and desire things, and then enjoy having them in your mind and vibrational offering, and then you will see the new conditions manifest in very little time. You will be a deliberate creator of the life you want and deserve. Everything you want will be available to you. You will be doing what you came here to do on planet Earth, and you will be an inspiration to others too. Thanks for reading. Let me know if you liked this post! Lisa-GP

It's sort of like planning to go to your favorite restaurant and ordering your favorite meal. You don't sit pining away thinking "oh, my steak isn't until 7p.m. tonight…" You're thinking about it as if it were right in front of you. You can picture it sitting on the plate with the mash potatoes and steamed vegetables with garlic butter sauce, and your mouth starts to water. And did you notice the smile it put on your face, and the little lift in your mood it gave you?
I always enjoy your posts, LisaGD Star Rating

After Lewis and Clark: Mountain Men and the Paths to the Pacific
After Lewis and Clark: Mountain Men and the Paths to the Pacific
For Americans, the history of the Trans-Mississippi West dawned with the nineteenth century. the Louisiana Purchase opened fresh vistas beyond a western boundary that traced the course of the mighty river bisecting most of the North American continent. President Thomas Jefferson knew not what he had bought from Napoleon, but he had long been interested in lifting the veil from the western reaches of the continent. Spaniards, Englishmen, Frenchmen, and Russians knew some of the geography, but mainly around the fringes. Indian tribes, their cultures reflecting the immense geographical diversity, knew the heartland. All, in their respective regions, had imprinted human history on the landscape, the Europeans for three centuries, the natives for millennia. For the first half of the nineteenth century, much of the young American republic s energies concentrated on discovering and recording the contours of this immense land.
Not alone on revealing the contours. in the fertile mind of Thomas Jefferson himself stirred nebulous visions of a continental destiny for the American people if not for the United States itself. in less than two decades, in the ambitions of an influential segment of national leadership, such musings had hardened into doctrine. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams best expressed it in 1819: "The world shall be familiarized with the idea of considering our proper dominion to be the continent of North America," he wrote. "Europe shall find it a settled geographic element that the United States and North America are identical." Even more than . . .

See sometimes I do not like people.
I am an introvert and when I get overwhelmed it is really hard for me to continue being social. I can do it, but it is really tiring.
I do realize I am a teacher and that I have to be social all day.
Some days it is a little harder but I can do it.
It's all good.
Well yesterday I was having kind of a... not bad day really... just a frustrating day.
Kids were talking back. Not sassy, just flat out rude.
And I am not okay with that.
One girl was complaining about her project incessantly.
She got a B on a project, threw a fit and informed me she needed to go talk to the counselor because she was having a "personal issue." I let her, because I was tired of the complaining and the bullying that she was doing.
One thing you never really realize. It is the bully's who tend to go to the counselor.
Now please do not misread this.
I do still care for this student. I would do anything to make sure she is still learning. But some days... even though you love your student's you are just done with their ridiculous behaviours.
I was on edge anyways.
Then the person covering me in the detention room forgot. So the principal came to me and wasn't super thrilled.
Let's just say, by the end of the day I wanted to just go home. I wanted to go home, get some chinese food, and sit.
Just sit.
Not do anything but just sit.
Of course before that... this happened.
I was taking my dog out and there was literally no one outside except my dog, me, and my land lady.
OUT OF NOWHERE this guy pops up.
He is a neighbor but REALLY creepy.
Last time I saw him he tried to shanghai me on a date. I had just woken up from three hours of sleep and just gotten some food. He shows up and gets NONE of my hints. Never even introduced himself. He says, "Have you been avoiding me?"
That is how he started the conversation.
I still don't know his name.
He wanted to know what happened last time. I quickly informed him I had a boy-friend. Except I think that the hyphen was silent. But then I ran off. He really is a weird little fellow.
Finally I got into my apartment.
I got my chinese food.
I sat down and curled up in my blankets.
I turned on a movie.
And I ate.
Then came time to call my friend.
So I did.
He didn't answer and I was okay with that in a way.
So I continued the movie and then he called.
Can I just say...
The moment I heard his voice, my crankiness dissapated?
It left.
I was able to giggle and laugh with him.
All became right in the world.
It was amazing.
I am so excited for next Tuesday.
That is definitely something I am going to have to write about.
Just know we are dressing up to go see Batman Lego Movie and go to Applebees.
It will be his birthday!

Ethiopia recorded the biggest tourism growth of any country in the world, according the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) annual review of the economic impact and social importance of the sector, released last week.
The annual report revealed the results of its review of countries across the globe, for the 2018 period. Ethiopia surprised the industry with a 48.5% growth in the country's tourism economy, while South Africa saw a decline of 1.9%, Angola 2.5%, and Zimbabwe and the DRC, 0.1% and 1.7% respectively.
Only four southern and East African countries saw tourism growth declines.
Gloria Guevara, WTTC President and CEO said: "Ethiopia's travel and tourism boom was one of the great success stories of 2018. It has exceeded our sector's global and regional comparisons to record the highest level of growth of any country in 2018."
"Travel and tourism in Ethiopia now accounts for one in every eleven dollars in the entire economy," she added.
Tourism's contribution to country economy
The Seychelles recorded the biggest percentage of tourism's contribution to its country's economy, at 67.1%, with Mauritius coming in second at 24.3%, and Madagascar at 15.7%.
Seychelles' tourism sector's contribution to its country's GDP accounts for more than half of any other sector's contribution.
International visitor spend
South Africa is ahead of all African countries in its international tourism visitor-spend figures, according to the report. A record of $9.7bn was spent in SA over the 2018 period, with Ethiopia coming in second at $4.08bn, Tanzania at $2.5bn, Mauritius at $2.21bn, Kenya at $1.73bn and Botswana at $1.26bn.
South Africa holds the highest international visitor spend of all southern and East African countries.
Guevara comments: "Travel and tourism contribute more to the South African economy than in any other African country. South Africa has long grasped the potential of travel and tourism to drive economic growth, create jobs and promote social development. Looking to the future, I believe that travel and tourism are South Africa's greatest resources, and the country's strategy for expansion, which prioritises regional integration, environment sustainability and putting the community at the heart of decisions, will make for a successful combination."
Forecast of international arrivals for 2019
SA is expected to see a healthy volume of international arrivals in 2019, with 10.9m visitors expected to visit the country. The WTTC expects arrivals of 2.5m in Zimbabwe, 2m in Botswana, 1.8m in Uganda, 1.7m in Mozambique, 1.6m in Namibia and 1.5m in Kenya.
Southern and East Africa look forward to healthy arrivals in 2019, according to WTTC, and strong initiatives by the tourism sectors will be pivotal drivers to arrivals and spend.

In what way?
Imagine discovering a brand that you fell in love with immediately, and you secretly vowed to buy every single one of the items they have because you just like it that much. And imagine yourself promoting that brand to your friends (even though you are not even paid to do that) because you felt it was that awesome.
Then BAM! You try one of their products for the first time (excluding the eyelashes, since well that isn't really a skin product), and it is truly disappointing.
Behold everyone, the Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Base. It is a pure waste of $8.90, which, if I had save it up, I can probably buy something from Etude House in the long run, which may be expensive, but at least the quality is guaranteed.
|Catrice Prime and Fine Anti-Red Base
- Anti-red base: neutralizes redness
- Longlasting
- Hydrating
Normally, I would rate products 3/5 so long as they fulfill two of the three claims that they have made on the packaging, and 2/5 if they fulfill one of the three claims. For this product, I will sadly grant it a 0/5, and if possible, I would have gladly given it a -10, but let's not go to the far extremes of complaints and heartache over a wasted $8.90.
To begin with, it DOES NOT neutralize redness. By science and by logic, yes the green is supposed to neutralize redness, which is the reason why I bought it anyway because I tend to have some pinkish redness around my nose area and cheek (depending), but applying this, I honestly can't see much of a difference. If it did do any justice to its claim, then it must have been a really small difference because I really cannot see any visible neutralization to the redness in my skin, and mind you, I am not even that red.
And it is not just me who found the product less than useful, check out these comments from makeupalley.com:
|Click to enlarge the comments
So just in case Catrice wants to sue me for defaming their brand or something, you know that I am not making things out of nothing and it is in truth a terrible product.
As you have noticed, some of the users commented about the LARGE SHIMMERY FLAKES, which I was slow enough to not notice until after my first use. Check out how the product looks on your skin below:
|Catrice prime and fine anti-red base on skin
|Sparkly finish. Hello Edward Cullen in Sun.
Thus, I source around on the net for another photo to show you how sparkly the product is:
|Photo credit to Imke, please check out her review too!
Oh here is another site that talks about the amount of sparkles this product has.
I am not even going to mince my words, since shimmer is usually used for a light shine, and glitter is reserved for large sparkly flakes. Like this one.
Anyway, before you shake your head completely, I have to sadly inform you that unlike its claim, it is not hydrating.
I think nowadays we always take the hydration factor for granted when it comes to make-up products or skin care products because that is the least we expect from a product right? Whitening, firming, time-reversal...all those are difficult to achieve, but to me, as long as a product makes my skin feel hydrated and thus comfortable, I will still like it!
For this primer, it is not hydrating. It is oily. There is a difference because hydrating means that my skin feel more moisturized after applying it, whilst oily means that I feel a layer of oil on my skin. (Duhh).
I remember the day when I wore it out underneath my BB cream, I went to the washroom in a mall and saw green flecks of the primer on my face. 2-3 flecks in fact. I am not even sure what the flakes are, because I was so sure I blended it into my skin well. It could be the fact that it didn't go well with the BB cream, causing small clumps to roll off into this little flakes. Yuck.
In all, you have come to the end of a very disgruntled review by me who is sobbing over the money wasted. Just in case you are wondering, I really did use to be a huge fan of Catrice, especially after I bought their lashes. I mean, their prices are reasonable and they have a huge range of products for one to choose from, which is why I even wrote to Catrice to ask if they were interested in sponsoring me for a review. But, on the hindsight, I am glad that they did not, because imagine if they gave me this base and I can't speak as freely as I can right now!
Have you guys tried this base? How do you all find it? If you too find it too sparkly, do you have any tips in making it more wearable? Share with us your thoughts in the comment box below and till next post, bye!

I was a reluctant digital immigrant in my late twenties. Yet, I met my significant other online (this was the pre-social networking era) and the rest, as the cliché goes, was chemistry, much to my own surprise. My digital native teenage child finds nothing surprising about this. "How else will you know people?" she asks. "How about the real world"?, I want to answer in rhetoric, but I really can't because as with everything in her life, relationships and dating have strong digital footprints in them. Besides, I feel like a hypocrite, warning her about the dangers of digital dating when I have walked the path myself, in as early as the pre-social networking era. — Lakshmi, a Mobicip researcher and mother of a teen.
- Pew Research states that almost one-in-four (24%) teens have dated or hooked up with someone they initially encountered online.
- Half of all teens (50%) have communicated their romantic interest through Facebook or other social media sites.
- 47% teens have expressed their attraction by liking, commenting or otherwise interacting with a person on social media.
- Dating it seems, has been simplified to text messaging, rather than even talking on the phone - 72% of teens text their romantic partners every day.
- Most adolescents turn to social media for friendships. Social networking sites do not screen users and it becomes very easy to use it for inappropriate contacts.
- Another con with online dating is that what you see may not be what you get.
- Online dating can blur the boundary between presenting the best image, and faking.
- The third annual survey Cox and NCMEC show that nearly one in 10 teens (8%) has posted his or her cell phone number online.
- 69% of teens reportedly receive online messages from strangers and they do not confide to their parents or caretakers about it.
Navigating the murky and often tremulous waters of dating is challenging in real life, it is more so in the digital age. The playing field is not very clear because of the variations in personalities, circumstances and needs of teens. While it is impossible to take the teen out of digital world, it is the responsibility of the adult to render her presence and relationships she seeks online, safe.
While most of these rules are fairly simple to enforce, as a parent I have trouble in convincing the kid that the real world is infinitely more interesting and healthy than the online world, and a balance is essential. Perhaps once I figure out a successful strategy to let my child understand that, I would share it with the world. But until then, I shall continue, like most parents of a digital teen, to grope at straws to keep my teenager safe in the online world. — Laskhmi, a Mobicip researcher and mother of a teen.

Clues that can help you tell how well you did in an interview
Body language
- What kind of body language was the interviewer showing? Was he or she leaning toward you and nodding frequently?
- Did the interviewer smile warmly or appreciatively when you were answering?
- Was there a good amount of active eye contact when either of you was speaking?
- Did the interviewer look at you more often than at his or her notes or watch or the interview room door?

The Age of Oversupply
Overcoming the Greatest Challenge to the Global Economy, Daniel Alpert, Portfolio/Penguin.
In the introductory chapter of "The Age of Oversupply," author Daniel Alpert, an investment banker and Century Foundation policy expert, describes a meeting with Japanese bankers and lawyers. The encounter took place in 2005, when the U.S. economy was roaring along and Americans were oblivious to the soon-to-burst housing bubble. Japan, meanwhile, was coping with chronic deflation and still trying to sort out leftover debts from a long-past credit crisis. A Japanese lawyer commented to Alpert that the U.S. would never make Japan's financial mistakes. Alpert presciently responded, "Unfortunately, I think the U.S. is next up in terms of this type of foolishness."
The reminder of Japan's troubles is ominous to anyone following today's lagging recovery. If the U.S. doesn't resume strong economic growth and escape the shadow of the last recession, it could end up suffering through decades of poor economic conditions—just like Japan.
In subsequent chapters, Alpert makes a convincing case that the U.S. economy won't fix itself. The usual policy remedies for a recession, including monetary stimulus and tax breaks, aren't working this time. That's because, Alpert explains, the causes of the recession go beyond any one country or currency. They are rooted in severe trade imbalances that formed when emerging nations abandoned socialism and joined the global economy. The emerging nations cheaply produce consumer goods, which they export to developed countries, but they don't use the proceeds to increase their own consumption. Instead, they lend their profits to the governments and citizens of advanced nations. Thus, emerging countries have expanded the global supply of labor and capital but haven't done much to increase global demand. Instead of matching up (as the economics textbooks say they should), supply and demand are wildly off-balance. The global economy has a bad case of oversupply.
So, it makes sense that U.S. policy hasn't worked; it hasn't done enough to increase demand. For example, a payroll tax holiday might spur hiring in normal times. But in an environment of oversupply, businesses have no motivation to hire more Americans when millions of workers in China will do the same jobs for lower wages and there is no demand for additional products anyway.
Fortunately, Alpert is ready with numerous proposals to build demand and grow the economy. For example, government investments in infrastructure and renewable energy would put people to work, allowing them to consume more, while at the same time making the economy more efficient in the long term. And carefully implemented debt forgiveness would help people whose mortgages are underwater and enable them to start spending again.
Alpert also suggests that the U.S. government choose promising industries and subsidize them as part of a competitiveness strategy, an idea that is not so well fleshed-out as his other proposals and somewhat less convincing. While he correctly points out that the government already subsidizes many activities through the tax code, it's not clear that subsidies are helpful to the economy as a whole. After all, mortgage subsidies didn't turn the housing sector into a permanent stronghold of the economy or prevent the disastrous housing bubble. Subsidies to other sectors might contribute to inflated expectations and produce more failed ventures requiring bailouts.
But on the whole, Alpert provides valuable insight into the forces holding back the U.S. economy and demonstrates that relying on standard economic procedures is not a viable option. "Today is one of those moments," Alpert writes, "when we need bold and innovative governments[…] with a laser-like focus on bolstering economic demand in the short-term and improving competitiveness over the longer term." If policymakers heed his wake-up call, the U.S. and other developed nations can resume prosperity.

Why Read This Report
Telcos face increasing pressure on traditional voice revenues and seek new revenues from services leveraging existing assets. Machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies, including radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, ZigBee sensors, and actuators, have been available for more than a decade. Lower device costs, IP network deployment, and opportunities to improve business operations in many vertical markets are driving telecom service provider investment in M2M technologies to capture new revenues from M2M service deployments. In 2016, Forrester forecasts approximately 450 million connected M2M devices globally will generate nearly $17 billion in connectivity revenues, growing at a 34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2010 and 2016. To capture these M2M revenues, telecom providers must sharpen their vertical market focus; make changes in their strategic, billing, and operational activities; and expand partnerships. However, connectivity revenues alone will not fill the gap left by declining revenues from legacy telecom services. Long-term success requires telcos to capture value-added service revenues beyond M2M connectivity.

The typer of Galar's Pokémon
Excuse me, since you are an administrator, I wanted to ask if you could insert the types advantages and resistances of the Galar Pokémon that we know the type of.AnnieCat07 (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
May I...
May I copy the code of Talk Page Size user template? It is said to the rules that users must ask permission to copy the code of something snazzy in their talk page or user page, and I did it. Thank you! --~~ThePokémonFanSince1995~~-- 04:59, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't mind. You can replace any instance of my username with yours for your version. Berrenta (talk) 12:04, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks! I will make it different so this is semi-unique. I can't do it yet, because I am using my 3DS. I will do it when I am using a computer or iPad. --~~ThePokémonFanSince1995~~-- 03:38, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Dawn image file
Earlier, I moved a image file name called Dawn Anime.png to a:File:Dawn DP 3.png. I was able to fix the link on all of the pages it was used on except for Darkeiya's userpage due to the page being protected. Can you fix said link to the current link or Darkeiya could do it if she isn't busy at the moment? PattyMan 03:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Consider it done. Berrenta (talk) 04:03, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Diamond Crater Page
I think someone copied and pasted my working page from my userspace into mainspace. I've reviewed the page and have found inaccuracies; for instance, 2 Star bosses so far have not appeared in the Special stage, and it has Lopunny - the 1 Star boss - appearing in the Entrance area, which also does not happen. Therefore, can you please delete Diamond Crater? I'm almost done (the page structure is actually complete and ready to move as it is, I just have a couple of things to check at Pearl Marsh and am moving both).
I've also educated the user on the existing userspace pages (so far up to Origin Hideaway) and invited any assistance. These and especially later ones will take a while unless I splurge on Diamonds. LOL CycloneGU (talk) 18:26, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- To update this, I expect to be moving Black Realm and White Ruins into place later this evening as I have completed those lists. Just found and caught the other two members of the Flygon family and saw the Delibird silhouette, so that finishes the Unova group. Love how the text says "find lots of 'region' Pokémon here!" but half of them are from another region... CycloneGU (talk) 20:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Diamond Crater should be freed up now. Berrenta (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Noted. I think all four pages are ready to go, so I'll get templates set up for two later areas (I bought 1,000 Diamonds, must say I like how Nintendo is doing this game and am supporting it, cheaper than Rumble Blast after all LMAO) then do a final review and move. CycloneGU (talk) 20:33, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Diamond Crater should be freed up now. Berrenta (talk) 20:24, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
White Ruins
It seems I cannot move User:CycloneGU/White Ruins to White Ruins. Can you please do this? It's strange as I can create a page at White Ruins right now, but that nixes the edit history. CycloneGU (talk) 23:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- On research, it's the name of an anime location. I'll move the page to attach (anime) but the resulting redirect will need to be nixed. CycloneGU (talk) 23:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- I just checked "what links here" on it. There's a lot there. What is your opinion on this; is it worthwhile going through all of those? It seems weird that we'd have to label one differently, but it seems inappropriate to add (Rumble World area) on every single page name to have consistency; I'd rather either merge the pages or put (anime) on that one, which I've done. CycloneGU (talk) 00:02, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- After all that, please disregard. Looks like Abcboy took my suggestion of a disambiguation page. I'll see if I can help relink some things there. CycloneGU (talk) 01:07, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I would have considered a disambiguation page as well when a case like that happens. Berrenta (talk) 04:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah. This was a perfect case of where multiple uses of something both have legitimate numerous references; the anime one being a pivotal point in the story, and the one in the game being the source of game information for five different stages. Which still makes the Brendan treatment confusing; I know on that talk page I had pointed out that, if an anime form of Brendan ever appears, we can disambiguate it at that time; however, it seems "consistency" was preferred and Brendan just redirects every time it's brought up. That continues to confuse me since I'm sure that uses additional resources (to redirect) than just putting it at that location in the first place and repointing all Wikilinks there. LOL CycloneGU (talk) 17:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I would have considered a disambiguation page as well when a case like that happens. Berrenta (talk) 04:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Evobox-4 template
Hello, Berrenta. While I am browsing Bulbapedia, I visited the Pidgeot article when I found out it have a Mega Evolution (I don't know it have one...). I just clicked the artwork of Mega Pidgeot. Then I found out that it is also linked to User:Iml908/Mega Pidgeot. I checked out the source, and it uses an user template. I go to the main user template and clicked the history. I found out it is created June 2014. I think this is meant to be moved to the Template namespace, so I think to message you. Can you move it please to Template:Evobox-4? That template is really useful. Maybe the creator didn't use the
{{mainspace}} template so no one haven't knew it. Lucky me I found it. Thank you! --~~ThePokémonFanSince1995~~-- 12:48, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't mean to answer, but I was just in the neighbourhood right above this. I'm a little confused. Are you suggesting that the template on that user's page needs to be moved into the template space? If so, templates don't need to be moved into the mainspace unless they are being used by an article in the mainspace. Further, templates can be used in userspace while a page is being prepped for mainspace; I did this at List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number. I believe if a user page is the only one using it, the template should be in userspace. Is there a mainspace article that is using the template in question? CycloneGU (talk) 17:22, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, I just researched this. For Berrenta's reference, here is what links to it; everything is in userspace, and it seems to be an abandoned project. I'll leave it to Berrenta to decide whether the project should be moved to mainspace. CycloneGU (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- I'll go bring this up with the other staff members, and see what they think, as I may not be able to act on it right away. Berrenta (talk) 21:52, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
- I hope they will accept my request, as it is really useful. --~~ThePokémonFanSince1995~~-- 07:17, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
- Since we do not count Mega Evolutions as an evolution, we won't be needing the template.--ForceFire 07:51, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

New Arceus Switch Test (Rumble World)
I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. If you were to click "Edit" on the page or section, and then immediately click Preview, the switch in the first of two tables at that point on the page would indicate the next day's type, a Poison-type Arceus, for April 3 (this has been researched extensively and I have come to a conclusion of how it works, so plan to put it in the Legend Terrain table changing Arceus' type daily). However, looking at the page before editing, it shows the initial test and save from today (my time), which still says Flying (which is correct for April 2). I'm trying to figure out how to make it auto-update like the Castform and Shaymin articles and the Mediawiki doesn't seem to have that answer. Any help?
If you have an idea, go ahead and edit. After any changes, I'll wait until the next day after the changes to see if it works automatically. CycloneGU (talk) 00:32, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- You have to purge the page (using the clock up by your username) for it to update. Editing the page (or previewing it) also updates it. --Abcboy (talk) 00:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, and I see it just updated on its own, too. I clicked the clock on a different page and updated the Sandbox and it updated. So clicking the clock purges?
- Doesn't explain why Shaymin is showing Sky Forme right now; by UTC time, it should be showing Land Forme, I thought. But hey, at least the switch I'm trying out works. I'll go ahead and implement it, and perhaps add that table and a description of how it works so any casual viewers can understand. What do you think of including the date under the type in the table to further show that the type changes daily? CycloneGU (talk) 01:11, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit request
Hey Berrenta, since you were the one that previously discussed how to use the SmashMoves template, can you look over this? Particularly my comment. Thanks~! ht14 05:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Should look proper for Brawl's case. It may need further adjustment for Smash 4, so it won't look as awkward. Berrenta (talk) 19:31, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Character Leak for SSB4
In case you haven't heard yet two new downloadable characters have just been leaked. First Roy of Fire Emblem, much like Dr. Mario is also returning for Melee. Second another Capcom character will also be playable, Ryu from Street Fighter. Here is a source to verify this. [2] -Tyler53841 (talk) 23:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've been aware of it. If they're not added already, I'll go right ahead, as they are officially confirmed. Berrenta (talk) 17:06, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Voice actor for Jessie's Gourgeist
Hello it's me. I put in that Haven Paschall voices Jessie's Gourgeist but then you undid it. You were wrong about the two Gourgeist being different. It's the same Pokémon. It's Jessie's Gourgeist. On Count Pumpk's page it shows Haven Paschall as the voice actor for Gourgeist but why not on the actual page? It's the same one, not two different ones. I'm suggesting you should change it back to what I had. MaahirMomtaz12 (talk) 00:41, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

- Thank you kindly :) サトミュウ (SatoMew) 07:50, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Could you remove Pokémon Picross from there? Unreleased games aren't exactly data-mined unless their ROMs leak somewhere, which is what our articles talk about (the pre-release stuff is currently misplaced in them). SatoMew2 (talk) 20:34, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'll need to speak to the editorial board before I do anything with that. What's keeping me from acting on that at the moment is that some beta pages had pre-release screenshots instead of data-mined info. Berrenta (talk) 12:46, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Assistance requested on a few maintenance pages
Hello, Berrenta. I would like to request assistance on a few matters involving Special:SpecialPages.
For the first matter, it involves the Userspace pages User:TehPerson/Sandbox and User:TehPerson/Sandbox2. Sandbox2 has three categories that are not created per Special:WantedCategories. The three categories were old temporary categories that have been deleted. Sandbox2 is using a template from Sandbox that contains the code that is creating the wanted categories on Sandbox2. The user has not made any edits recently and might not be back for some time. I was wondering if the offending code could be hidden or removed in one way or another so that the categories can be removed from Special:WantedCategories. (The remaining categories are being called from Mainspace articles.)
For the second matter, it involves Special:DisambiguationPageLinks. Currently, there are over 1,000 articles that are linking to disambiguation pages. According to Template:Disambig, "If an article link referred you here, please go back and fix it to point directly to the intended page." For some articles like Poké Ball, the page they link to is pages like Safari Zone, Pokémon in Spanish, Pokémon in French, and Battle Frontier. For SZ and BF, both are referenced as all of their respective areas in the games on the page. For the Spanish and French links, they come from the "In other languages" section of the article. I was wondering if I could have your opinion about this. --Super goku (talk) 22:29, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay. I may look through those and fix as much as I can. Berrenta (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, as far as it's concerned, Sandbox2 is using a template that has those categories as default. I may need to speak to a higher-ranked staff member about this. A deletion may be in order for Sandbox2, since it appears to test the code in Sandbox, but I want to double check with them.
- As for the Disambiguation Page Links, some are okay as is (like in cases where a Pokémon's page links to its disambiguation page), but shouldn't hurt to go through the list and fix what should not link to the disambigs. Berrenta (talk) 18:26, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Adding Japanese Blue to Kanto region
Hello Berrenta, I could use the assistance of an administrator.
For the Pokemon availability tables of Gen I in Kanto, I was hoping to add a fourth column for Japanese Blue Version in addition to Red/Blue/Yellow, using the Japanese Bulbapedia translated as a source. I am able to edit Template:Catch/entry1 to have a fourth column, and then go through each Kanto page and edit accordingly.
The problem is, when I did that, it came out looking funky. The "Games" title only stretched over the first three game columns ("R"/"B"/"JB") while yellow ("Y") was stretched out under location and level. To see what it looked like, for example, see my revision today Oct 29 on Cinnabar Island.
Another user, rightly so, undid the revisions I made so far due to the look. I think the problem is in Template:Catch/header, which can only be edited by an administrator. Would you be able to edit that template so that if I still want to add Japanese Blue Version Pokemon for Kanto areas, the "Games" title will stretch over all four Gen I games.
Are you able to help me? PalletTownie (talk) 06:42, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- Looked over the template in question, but unfortunately I could not find a remedy to this there. There is Template:Catch/entry1, though, which I think is what is needed instead, though the header can get columns adjusted if necessary. I'll go see about a solution to this. Berrenta (talk) 00:39, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- Got a test template ready, and will test it with the catch header/footer later on. However, as this is a major change, I'll need to ask other staff members if they are okay with this. Berrenta (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
Need how many edits?
i know that to create a userpage you need a certain amount of edits, but what IS that certain amount? 5? that was it for the mario wiki (plus the being a user for 4 days) PearlSilver (talk) 19:30, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

How can I add ♀ to Weavile's name in Team AWD without a Red link?
Is there a way to do that, or a way to make that tt thing? Unowninator (talk) 17:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure; I may need to read up on that. The red link that I fixed was something else within that template call. Berrenta (talk) 17:19, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, looked at the template code, and unfortunately there are no means to input confirmed genders. Berrenta (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- I was afraid of that. I wanted to turn it into a redirect Weavile♀, but I've done similar stuff in the past here, and was told to stop. Well, thanks anyway. Unowninator (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Okay, looked at the template code, and unfortunately there are no means to input confirmed genders. Berrenta (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
My apologies
I would like to apologise for the matter mentioned, I should explain I have Aspergers so may not realize things as easily--BigDocFan (talk) 20:38, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Leak/future content question
Hey, so I'm sure you're already very aware that the demos released on the 18th have already been mined to within an inch of their lives. I'm curious, though, will any of this information be put into Bulbapedia? Based on what's currently there, and Bulbapedia's normally very fast reaction time, I'm guessing it's going to be ignored until an official trailer or release says otherwise. But, why is that? Just to stay safe?
I'm wondering about the policy here, so I thought I'd ask a staff member. Thanks!!
Blootannery (talk) 05:14, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I want to make sure you get an answer as quickly as possible, so I'm going to go ahead and answer. As you can see from our site notice (Do not add any information datamined from the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version to Bulbapedia), we will not be adding information from the datamine. The reason for this is that there are legal issues involved with reporting on so much information that the general pubic is not supposed to have yet. Crystal Talian 05:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Crystal Talian, thanks a ton! In case you were afraid of a newb making mistakes, no, I haven't added any datamined data. I assumed there was a reason I hadn't seen any, and since I usually use the website on mobile, I didn't see the banner. Gah, I wish I'd just looked at my desktop and saved the hassle of asking around!! Thanks again! Blootannery (talk) 03:08, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
English TCG Images
I've noticed a lot of TCG pages only have Japanese cards to represent them. There are English variants over on the Pokellector site. I am not an autoconfirmed member, so I can't upload any images myself, but would it be alright to direct you to the ones that need uploading until I am autoconfirmed? For example, Bulbasaur from the Supreme Victors set. Alex95 (talk) 17:08, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- Eh, on second thought, there are a lot of cards and I don't really feel like going through them all.......................... Alex95 (talk) 17:22, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- For future reference, no user is allowed to take scans of cards from other websites. We have to either use the official images or scan the cards ourselves. However, the images are references for the artwork, not the text, so the image language is not a priority, unless the images are scans done by BP's users. MaverickNate 19:23, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
Re: Edit warring
I have been discussing it on the talk page. See the "Your edit summary on Brionne" section in my talk page. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 04:37, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- You'll get more attention on the page's talk page. Berrenta (talk) 04:40, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- The discussion's already began on my talk page, so I would prefer if it'd be taken there. GrammarFreak01 (talk) 05:06, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Edits were undone
I made some edits but they were quickly undone on page Character encoding in Generation I. I wasn't sure the reason but I suspected it was the imgur image so I asked another user to upload it to the archives and he agreed. I'm still nervous because I'm not entirely sure the reason it was taken down and if it was for other reasons. The only message I have is "Not the correct way to do things" so I'm not sure what that means. I reached out to the user who undid the changes for clarification but the user never responded.
I guess I'm asking if the changes are ok to apply now if it was only an imgur image issue because it's now properly in the archives but want to make sure theres no other issues before I try to re-make the changes. Junebug12851 (talk) 16:57, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Because I, David Chase Taylor, officially applied for political asylum in Switzerland on July 17, 2015, the state-sponsored terror plots and so-called "natural disasters" I expose rarely come to fruition. In short, the Swiss CIA does not want to afford me any more credibility or publicity than they have to, lest they turn me into a modern-day prophet. They also do not want to provide yet another open-and-shut case as to why I deserve political asylum. For those wondering why I would apply for political asylum in Switzerland, know this: a) I originally applied for asylum in Switzerland on March 8, 2011, roughly 2-years before I discovered that Switzerland was harboring the CIA; and b) the CIA has historically not shat where it eats in Switzerland. That being said, the CIA has now been exposed for the first time in history. Consequently, they are extremely desperate and may assassinate me Switzerland.

BREAKING NEWS: CERN Is Secret Entrance to Subterranean CIA Headquarters Located Beneath Lake Geneva in Switzerland
RED ALERT: 10 Reasons Why Switzerland is Home to the CIA
David Chase Taylor
October 6, 2015
SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Because time is running out for the CIA Headquarters beneath Lake Geneva to stage what is euphemistically known as Obama's "transformative moment" (i.e., a 9/11-scale terror attack), they may resort to attacking one of the MLB Wild Card games on October 6-7, 2015.
The American League Wild Card game features the Houston Astros versus the New York Yankees in New York City on October 6, 2015, while the National League Wild Card game features the Chicago Cubs versus the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 7, 2015.
Exactly what type of MLB-related terror is planned is not known, but a gun-related massacre which cuts down baseball players and fans alike is the most likely terror scenario. This type of attack would be replayed on social media and TV ad nausea in order to spark a civil war over the right to bear arms.
That being said, recent MLB-related events have foreshadowed a 9/11-style bio-terror attack, possibly via Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 which was explicitly hijacked by CIA on March 8, 2014, in order to execute a surprise WMD attack on America.
Because numerous MLB cities are located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean (e.g., Baltimore, Boston, New York, etc.), Flight MH 370 could fly in off the water from an undisclosed location (e.g., Cuba) at full speed, attacking an MLB game prior to a military response from NORAD or the U.S. Air Force.
In what appears to be pre-Boston Red Sox terror logistics, it was reported back on September 8, 2015, that Boston police inspected flammable liquid stored in the Fenway Park area. In all reality, the inspection likely provided the cover for the installation of bio-chemical weapons and/or explosives which will be utilized at a later date.
Back in 2014, the U.S. government drilled for an MLB-related bio-terror attack in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Consequently, a 9/11-style terror attack would likely feature a commercial airliner or a private plane filled with biological and/or chemical weapons, sparking the bio-terror pandemic planned for 2015.
In what appears to be pre-MLB 9/11-style terror attack programming, it was reported back on July 3, 2015, that former Yankees manager Don Zimmer's widow was furious after her late husband's jersey disappeared from her airline luggage. The report was designed to link MLB with airplanes prior to a 9/11-style attack.
Less than a week later on July 9, 2015, a former Atlanta Braves minor leaguer player was killed when a private plane and an F-16 crashed over South Carolina. Consequently, MLB has been intimately associated with an airplane crashes juts prior to a 9/11-style attack.
In order to associate MLB with terrorism just prior to a horrific state-sponsored terror attack during the 2015 MLB season, the supposed identify of the notorious ISIS terrorist Jihadi John was revealed on March 1, 2015, wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball hat.
In order to provide a timely motive for a domestic MLB-related terror attack, a transgendered woman sang the U.S. National Anthem at a game on June 17, 2015, between the Oakland Athletics and the San Diego Padres at the Oakland Coliseum in California.
In order to highlight baseball and racism just prior to race war terror attack at an MLB game, a Utah minor-league baseball team reportedly canceled its Caucasian Heritage Night on June 20, 2015. The CIA-spawned publicity stunt was also designed to provide a timely motive for a race-based baseball-related attack.
Lastly, the notion of an MLB game stopping due to outside interference was witnessed back on August 6, 2015, when squirrels interrupted the Kansa City Royals versus Detroit Tigers game in Detroit, Michigan. Considering that squirrels came from behind home plate, it appears that they were part of a CIA-spawned publicity stunt.
Baseball Evacuation Drill
Back on April 14, 2015, it was reported that a U.S. Marines unit executed a terror exercise at a sports park in California. According to reports, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Pendleton conducted a non-combatant evacuation operation training exercise at the ballpark. Whether the terror drill by the U.S. Marines was for an MLB-related terror attack this season is not known, but Robert A. Sessions Memorial Sports Park in Barstow, California has multiple baseball diamonds, providing the perfect training venue for a baseball-related attack and subsequent evacuation.
MLB Terror Trending
The notion of a person approaching and possibly attacking Major League Baseball (MLB) players was first witnessed back on May 10, 2014, when a "fan" (i.e., an intelligence operative) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin approached Yankees star Derik Jeter during game reportedly looking for hug. The incident was no doubt executed in order to set the precedent for a fan-related attack at a later date. The Jeter incident in Wisconsin was the third on-field player-fan incident in Major League Baseball in 2014 alone. The first incident occurred on April 8, 2014, when a so-called Yankees fan ran onto the field at Yankee Stadium. Four days later on April 12, 2014, a fan touched New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson in Anaheim, California. Needless to say, all three player-fan incidents where evidently staged as part of an intelligence operation designed to set the precedent for an MLB-related terror attack. When and where the fourth player-fan incident will take place is not known, but it will likely be deadly in nature. In order to set the precedent for MLB-related terrorism, a number of violent incidents transpired during the 2014 MLB season. For example, on October 6, 2014, a man was severely beaten in parking lot of Angels Stadium in Anaheim, California. A day later on October 7, 2014, Cardinal fans reportedly clashed with Ferguson protesters outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. Needless to say, the on-field incidents combined with MLB-related attacks have set the precedent for an upcoming terror attack during the 2015 MLB season.
2014 World Series Terror Drill
In what appears to practice for a MLB-related bio-terror attack, it was reported on April 8, 2014, that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security executed a terror drill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. According to reports, the U.S. Army National Guard and the 52nd Civil Support Team from Ohio (a CBRN bio-terror team) executed a terror drill in which a weapons of mass destruction was detonated at the World Series. Because most of the American public is now aware that terror drills always precede real-life terror events, the date, location and terror scenarios of publically disclosed terror drills are often changed in order to disguise exactly what is being drilled. In other words, since the MLB World Series is not until October of 2014, the terror drill in Pennsylvania may have been executed for a terror attack on a regular season game.
Sports-Related Pandemic
An MLB-related bio-terror attack may spark the biological pandemic planned for 2015. The notion of a sports-related biological pandemic was first revealed back on December 9, 2014, when it was reported that the National Hockey League (NHL) is suffering a mumps outbreak. Needless to say, the timely outbreak was designed to program the masses for a state-sponsored bio-terror attack, possibly targeting MLB. The notion of a sports-related biological pandemic was also revealed back on March 14, 2015, when it was reported that the Milwaukee Brewers have banned high fives to avoid spread of pink eye, setting the precedent for an MLB-related bio-terror attack.

Truther.org Legal Disclaimer
Truther.org's stated purpose is to stop terrorism by drawing unwanted global attention to terror plots prior to their fruition. Terror alerts and warnings made by Truther.org DO NOT necessarily imply that these terror events will transpire in reality but rather that there is a distinct possibility that they may occur based on breaking terror-related news, events and data. Historically speaking, once a major false-flag terror plot is exposed, it is immediately canceled, postponed, or reworked (e.g., the 2011 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the 2014 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, the 2014 Freedom Tower Nuclear Terror Plot, etc.). State-sponsored acts of terror must have a prior paper trail in order to set-up patsies, prime scapegoats, create plausible deniability, and mislead the public from the usual suspects of terror which work at the behest of the CIA in Switzerland. Please support real citizen journalism and help make terrorism a thing of the past. Blessed are the Peacemakers. Namaste

Calcium Signals: A Central Paradigm in Stimulus–Response Coupling Cells must respond to an array of environmental and developmental cues. The signaling networks that have evolved to generate appropriate cellular responses are varied and are normally composed of elements that include a sequence of receptors, nonprotein messengers, enzymes and transcription factors. Receptors are normally highly specific for the physiological stimulus, and therefore are disparate in their identities. Likewise enzymes and transcription factors tend toward specificity, and this fact is reflected in abundance at the genome level. The Arabidopsis genome, for example, potentially encodes in the region of 1000 protein kinases, 300 protein phosphatases, and 1500 transcription factors. By contrast, nonprotein messengers are relatively few. They include cyclic nucleotides (Newton et al., 1999 ), hydrogen ions (Guern et al., 1991 ), active oxygen species (Van Breusegem et al., 2001 ), lipids (Ng and Hetherington, 2001 ; Nurnberger and Scheel, 2001 ; Munne-Bosch and Alegre, 2002 ), and, above all, calcium. Changes in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca 2+ ] c ) are apparent during the transduction of a very wide variety of abiotic and biotic signals. The spectrum of stimuli that evokes rapid changes in [Ca 2+ ] c has been
