Oh how serendipity works.
After only having recently posted about Born to Run, i was sent a link to a documentary about the Kenyan secrets.
This is a fascinating documentary of how it seems one area in Kenya produces champion after champion.
I don't think there is any secrets.
Have a look here, and see what you think?

Missy and her family are visiting from Virginia. They came up for a wedding, and will be staying through the weekend so Jimmy can celebrate his fourth birthday with us. Missy, John and Jack will leave on Sunday, but Jimmy will stay for about a week. I'm very excited but – as to be expected – I've been distracted from writing. Simultaneously, I've been inspired by the film "Fright Night," starring Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell. You've been given fair warning: the following probably sucks, as I'm trying something new without giving it my best effort.
Good luck.
PROMPT: "You know, they invented a word for guys like him."
"You know, they invented a word for guys like him."
Cheyenne sighed and ran her hands along her wearied face. She was definitely too young to feel so fucking old. Maybe Marley was right and it was all part of the territory, but Marley being right was the worst thing in the whole entire world – she'd be wildly obnoxious about it. "I get it, Marley. We've had this conversation a million and one times – you're not telling me anything new, or anything that I don't already know. So essentially, you're not being helpful and unless you're going to help, shut up."
Marley bit the insides of her cheeks to keep quiet and crossed her thin arms over her chest. Cheyenne had insulted her – best friend or not – so Marley would let Cheyenne turn the whole place upside down on her own. Why would she help a bitch on a wild goose chase? She wasn't dating a monster. She raised an eyebrow and watched Cheyenne derisively as she wrenched open cabinets and pulled out drawers, letting their contents clatter to the floor. "What are you even looking for?"
"I've already told you," Cheyenne answered sharply. "He needs a medallion about the size of an old subway token. It has a bat on it, and he needs it tonight because the main guy is coming for it."
Marley's mouth dropped open. "Are you saying there are more coming here tonight?" Cheyenne did not answer, but she did considerably slow her frantic searching. "Oh, fuck that!" Marley erupted. "It could be a bloodbath! He's putting all of us in some serious danger! They could kill us all!"
Cheyenne turned slowly to face Marley. Her clenched fists and deep breathing showed that she was battling a swelling rage. "James wouldn't do that, Marley. He would never –"
"What happened to Sam?" Marley asked, interrupted. Both young women knew exactly what had happened to Sam – he had been killed – murdered – about a month ago. There had been a severe misunderstanding about Sam's intentions towards Cheyenne and how those intentions affected both his attitudes and actions towards James. In essence, James was convinced that Sam was coming for him, so he struck first and even though Sam had been brave and fought long and hard to defend himself, it had all been for naught. "Please, Cheyenne, let's end this! I know he's one thing to you, but to everyone he's not trying to fuck, he's something else."
Cheyenne wiped her eyes. "It's not just that, Marley. You know it's not so vulgar. We love each other."
"He can't love you or anyone, Cheyenne. He's a monster, a literal living and breathing monster."
"Marley –"
"There's a word for guys like him, Cheyenne. There's a word for draining the life from someone and not feeling an ounce of remorse, rationalizing murder because it's necessary for existence. If he were human, he'd be a sociopath, but he's not human, is he?"
"No," Cheyenne barely whispered.
"So what's the word I'm thinking of? You need to hear yourself say it. You need to come to grips with reality."
Marley sighed. "I know – the word is vampire."

Cougars Run Past Saints
Brock Kappelmann - January 29, 2017 9:40 am
Seward allowed 100 or more for a third time this season in a 108-95 loss at Barton Saturday night. The Saints drop their sixth consecutive game. Like Wednesday in Concordia, the Saints were competitive in the first half only to see their opponents light up the gym in the second half.
Seward led by as many as four in the first half and the Cougars led 45-42 at the half. But Barton made 9-11 three pointers in the second half to blow the game open. Barton outscored the Saints 63-53 in the second half.
The Saints shot 44 percent while Barton shot 57 percent and mad 58 percent (15-26) of their three's. The Saints were 12-22 from three point land in the loss. Barton maded 31-40 free throws and Seward was 29-35 at the line. The Cougars out rebounded the Saints 38-30. The Saints only turned the ball over nine times in the loss.
Kevin Sims scored 32 on 9-18 shooting to lead the Saints. Charles Beauregard had 19 points and nine rebounds. Pierre Johnson had 11 points with four assists.
Seward falls to 6-15 overall and 3-14 in the KJCCC. Barton is tied for second with Dodge City at 12-5 in the KJCCC and 16-5 overall. Seward hosts Pratt Wednesday night at 8 in the Green House on 107.5 and kscbnews.net. First National Bank is the buyout sponsor.

Powerful magic is at work in Nora Berman's paintings. A snake breaks free of its egg, exploding yellow and pink. Twin bodies torque apart, ringed by a yellow portal as crashing blue waves undulate into ribbon curls, alternately submerging and buoying the figures. A woman's face appears from the eye of a rainbow vortex spinning out with cyclonic force. These are creatures in the throes of transformation, born of a metaphysical cosmogony.
These coterminous bodies are symbols on the astral plane endowed with a queer agency that evades the bidding of the consciousness that produced them, reproduced through couplings human and non-human. The forces here are chaotic. Some, nourished by isolation and occlusion, are dangerous – serpents growing in embryonic dark. Disconnected from meaning, they stand to infect this plane with a logos of fear and rage.
Berman churns bodies to the surface: to do battle, to destroy one another, to fuck and merge. The battlefield brims out beyond the boundaries of a unitary consciousness and we feel the rumbling and see flashes of light. The creation of a new world is at stake, and it can be made whole through the reintegration of its incoherent darkness. Will she be victorious?
Anne Besant, sociologist, activist, and researcher of the occult, developed a theory of thought-forms: projections into the astral plane that possess specific form and color. Thought-forms exert powerful influence over the visible world, and although an individual consciousness can focus and project them, these forms are not of subjects, but rather between them, part of a metaphysical fabric that binds consciousness together.
The astral plane is a common dream. Forms entangle, disturbances whip outwards, transforming the topography, color and shape of the psychic world. Every battle has shared stakes.
Who produced the world as it exists, and what worlds are hidden below, dividing and multiplying as they wait to emerge? These works teem with sigils in flux, struggling for place and form. This is a second world as it shapes itself—vital, messy and maculate, tracing out impossible ways of being that reverberate beyond the self. An oracular eye fixes its bright beam on the future.

The vigor with which Secretary of State Stettinius last week denounced the Russian arrest of the 16 Polish emissaries was but another indication of the changed official U.S. attitude toward Russia.
The change was in method, rather than in aims. It could best be summed up in the remark of a close friend of President Truman, who said: "From now on we are playing stud instead of draw poker. There will always be at least four cards lying face up on the table."
Some results of this policy were already in evidence at San Francisco. There was no indication that Russia was...

Tom Purvis hits some strong points in this video about squatting, hip hinges, ankle dorsiflexion, and movement as a whole. * Keep in mind, this is all sagittal plane stuff….. it gets far more complicated when there are lateral (frontal) plane or rotational (axial) considerations ….. these are the "knees out" dialogues and debates you have read over and over on the web in the last year.
Dr. Shawn Allen
Food for thought after posting today's Tom Purvis squat video.
Could this study below translate into the statement/question:
"attempting to achieve sufficient dorsiflexion through the combined 'foot pronation-ankle dorsiflexion' mechanism, as opposed to just dorsiflexion from the ankle mortise joint alone, may change the dynamics of the entire limb…. in this case, hip flexion range observation. Is this because when dorsiflexion is cheated via foot pronation, instead of just ankle dorsiflexion, there is more internal tibia/femoral spin than would normally occur from just sagittal ankle hinging which can in turn impair terminal hip flexion range via impingement type action ? I think so. It would be cool to see what would have happened in the study had the pronating clients been shown my foot tripod restoration exercise (it's on youtube). -Dr. Allen
here is some new research on this point, for what it is worth. It keeps the mind thinking though.
J Phys Ther Sci. 2015 Jan;27(1):285-7. doi: 10.1589/jpts.27.285. Epub 2015 Jan 9.The kinematics of the lower leg in the sagittal plane during downward squatting in persons with pronated feet. Lee,Koh da, Kim
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine changes in lower extremity kinematics in the sagittal plane during downward squatting by subjects with pronated feet. [Subjects and Methods] This study selected 10 subjects each with normal and pronated feet using a navicular drop test. The subjects performed downward squatting, in which the knee joints flex 90° in a standing position. We recorded the angles of the hip, knee, and ankle joint in the sagittal plane through motion analysis. For the analysis, the squatting phase was divided into phase 1 (initial squat), phase 2 (middle squat), and phase 3 (terminal squat) according to the timing of downward squatting. [Results] In the pronated foot group comparison with the normal group, thehip joint flexion angle decreased significantly in phases 2 and 3. The dorsiflexion angle of the ankle joint increased significantly in phase 3. The flexion angle of the knee joint did not differ between groups in any of the phases. [Conclusion] The pronated foot group utilized a different squat movement strategy from that of the normal foot group in the sagittal plane.

Registrants have the option of participating as part of a small discussion group of 3-5 members interacting on screen with Dr. Schnarch. Prior to participating, please read the document mentioned above, and pay particulat atention to the Technical details listed below.
Discussion Group Technical Details: In the past we have experienced various technical issues such as feedback, echo and time delay when Discussion Group members have enabled their microphones. There is less chance of feedback if you use a headset rather than listening through speakers or sound from your tablet/laptop/PC. You will be required (in advance) to demonstrate you can enable your microphone without causing feedback, echo, or delay in our system. Please read the following instructions to ensure you will NOT have "Skype drivers" active in your operating system.
- When Skype starts on your computer, it loads drivers to enable video and audio transmission. YOU MUST MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER HAS NOT LOADED THE SKYPE DRIVERS as they interfere with our broadcast quality. IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CLOSE SKYPE ONCE IT HAS OPENED, AS THIS LEAVES SKYPE DRIVERS ACTIVE ON YOUR MACHINE. Leaving the skype drivers on your machine will (a) introduce a 20 to 45 second feedback loop, and (b) interfere with your video, speakers and microphone.
- For the best user experience, you must change your Skype settings so Skype does not start automatically, and then REBOOT your machine before logging onto Adobe Connect. Here are instructions:
- Uncheck the "Start Skype when computer starts" and "Sign me in when Skype starts" on the login screen.
- Uncheck the "Start Skype when I start Windows" box found under Tools->Options->General.
- If the usual methods don't work, enter msconfig in the Run command then click the Startup tab. Look for and uncheck Skype.
- Restart computer for the changes to take effect.
- Starting from the release of Skype 2.7 for Mac, your general system startup settings will be used instead of having separate preferences for Skype.
- To prevent Skype from opening on Mac OS X startup, open Skype and go to the Dock. Use Ctrl+click on the Skype icon in the Dock and ensure the box "Open at Login" is unchecked.
- Alternatively, you can go to System Preferences > Users u0026amp; Groups, click your account name and select Login Items. Remove Skype from this list.

I'm not going to talk about the game today, because I didn't watch it. I was on a bus in the mountains of Colorado, following the game when service was available. I caught 20 minutes of it on the Univision app, but then I lost service and could only get texts and occasionally Twitter. So I won't talk about game itself, and I don't want to play the "Well, we gave it a good go!" game. But let's talk about what this means for United States soccer going forward. So let's talk about fans, about this team and about the future.
There's a certain elitism in American soccer fans. I'm guilty of it as well, although I've tried really hard to get out of that mold. Without a doubt, there are American soccer fans who look down on the casual fan who show up only for the big events. There's even a sort of disdain MLS-watchers have for European-watchers.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the country took notice this year. On the bus, I was wearing my Bradley jersey and was giving my girlfriend updates on the score. An old man behind me tapped me on the shoulder to get an update, and several people near me leaned in to listen. Did any of them care about football at all a month ago? Probably not. Will they care in six months? Probably not. I had friends texting me during the games (not just US games), asking about players and teams and offering analysis. Will they care about qualifying? About friendlies? About youth play? Probably not.
But here's the thing: I don't care. I loved it, it was amazing and I'm so happy. You shouldn't care either. There are some who measure fandom by the players you can name, stats you can list and years of loyal service that you apparently get merit badges for. But if you give a damn about the USMNT for a week then I'm happy. If you follow the games, then I'm happy. Shouldn't we be proud that this team and this sport captivated the country? Don't whine about how people aren't going to care about soccer tomorrow. I follow the USMNT youth teams. Does that make me more of a fan than someone who just follows the senior team? Nope, because I'm not the King of Fans and neither are you.
There's this catch-22 about many US football fans. They want people to follow, to care about the sport. "It's the greatest sport on Earth and we're so good, why don't people care?" But then when the World Cup rolls around and the country takes notice, it becomes, "Well they became fans last week. They're just jumping on the bandwagon, and they'll be gone next week. They aren't fans." I saw that with Sporting KC last year, when they were playing so well. It infuriated me.
That is pathetic. I don't think it's a leap to say that US soccer, and the sport in general, grabbed new and loyal fans this year. But most won't care once this World Cup is over. Some will say that the US sucked all along, that we only won one game. I don't care. I don't. This sport has gotten to the point where I don't care about recruiting people to kneel at the altar of the beautiful game. Care or don't. If you do, even for a week, I'll support you and clap you on the back, lean in to swap analysis and lineup thoughts. If you stop caring now, I won't be bitter. Thanks for coming along on the ride with us.
If you don't care about the sport at all, shut up, because nobody gives a s**t that you don't care.
The Future
I hear this constantly:
"If the best American athletes played soccer, then we'd be better than anyone."
That is wrong. It is so damn wrong. It's insulting to the amazing athletes playing for the USMNT, that they're the bottom of the barrel of US athletics. Certain people are made for certain sports. If LeBron James played high school and then college soccer, that would not make him better than Dempsey, Bradley or Altidore. They're great athletes, but that's not why they're some of the best US players we've ever produced.
Spain, arguably the greatest national team in the history of the sport, is not composed of world class athletes. They're a team of players who've grown up playing together on national teams and club teams. Their youth system is world class, winning World Cups and Euros at every level. They're all so good because they're on the same page; they play the same style, work together as a team and keep egos in check. If Pau Gasol or Rafa Nadal grew up playing soccer, would Spain be better? 100% not. No. Zero. You're a fool if you think so, and I'm completely unapologetic in saying so.
So how can the US get better? Stick with Jürgen. He's trying to rebuild how we play, how our youth system is set up and how our players develop. Is he an elitist for trying to get our players to go overseas? No. The MLS is simply not good enough to develop players into a world power. It's too slow, too undisciplined, too bipolar. It's come miles and gets better every day, but it's silly to think that a player getting solid minutes in Germany won't develop as much as a player starting in MLS.
What does changing our youth system mean? For one, discouraging the college system. In the last five years, academies have sprouted up for every MLS team. They play in international tournaments against top European competition. Those kids choose academies over high school ball. Many will go to college, but the best will go straight to the MLS, or straight to Europe. When many of our players are playing in college, Spanish/German players are playing in a top league, or in a strong second division (Barcelona B, or Real Madrid Castilla, although they were relegated to the third division this year).
I don't mean to discourage kids from going to college. But we can't expect to make the jump to champion contender by relying on players who only start playing pro when they're 22. This is certainly getting better, MLS teams signing promising youth players, like Palmer-Brown for Sporting KC. Sure, Yedlin, Besler and Zusi, to name a few, all went through college. But those players won't win us a World Cup. I'm not expecting us to win in four years or eight. But if we want to, we have to look at how we develop players.
The onus of altering our youth system is also on the coaches. Not making the Olympics in London was a huge embarrassment. We should've qualified, with ease. But we didn't. Our coaches aren't (or weren't) on the same page, they aren't developing players with a uniform, distinct, progressive style. Jurgen is trying to change that. Sure, at times in this World Cup we won ugly. But so did Argentina. Belgium. Brazil. Sometimes you have to. But the change from Bob "The Bunker" Bradley is noticeable and getting better. The youth coaches and players have to follow suit. Germany and Spain consistently play the same way, even as players come and go. We can, too. The pool of players is huge, enough to make up for the "if only everybody wanted to be soccer players" b.s. argument. We just have to hone them into the world class players that they can be.
This team
I'm sad. I was sad, in a very real, physically-manifesting way that I couldn't watch the game; I watched almost every game in qualifying, and I've caught almost every game for the last 18 months. I'm sadder now, writing this. I don't want to talk about the positives, about how we showed heart. We always show heart. I don't want to talk about Julian Green or Yedlin looking so good. We knew they had that potential.
Why don't I want to talk about these things? Do I want to roll around in pessimism? No. I don't want to talk about it because we've advanced past smiling about losses in the World Cup and saying, "Well, look, we sure played great and showed some grit!" Yeah, we did, and this was FAR from a disappointment. But we can't accept this and count it as a victory, either. This was brutal, this was tough, this sucked in the end. Don't accept this. Don't roll the loss into a tight ball and coat it in caveats about the signs we're showing.
To this team, thank you. I've had so much fun watching this progression over the last three years, and the highs have far topped the lows. We won't see a lot of some of these players again, like Beasley or Wondo. Howard may have another World Cup; I really hope so; the man is a legend and the thought of him not wearing this jersey in four years honestly makes me want to sob. I love this team. I love this sport. I love Geoff Cameron, despite his mistakes against Portugal. I love Michael Bradley, despite a rough tournament offensively. I love this team. But we must get better. We will get better.
Final thoughts
Michael Bradley — If you blame or hate on Michael Bradley, I can't talk to you. He covered more ground during the group stages than any player in the entire tournament. Defensively, he was wonderful. Offensively, forgettable. But he's typically our best player, our most consistent player. We win games because of him. Like I said in my last post, you probably don't or can't appreciate what Mike does for this team, as a player, orchestrator, defender, passer and leader. That's fine. But don't let your ignorance turn into blind hatred because you picked a few poor moments and make them Michael Bradley's identity as a player.
Football sucks — Not really. But for new fans, and I really don't mean this to be patronizing, this is football. Highest highs, like that second goal against Ghana, and the lowest lows. It makes this sport great.
What's next — We're co-hosting and playing in South America's Copa America next summer. Awesome test to see how we've progressed against (probably) Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay. Also, of course, we get to watch the awesome USWNT. Enjoy that. They're a wonder to watch, so good and cohesive. I love watching Lauren Cheney play, she's so silky smooth and tactically brilliant on the pitch. After that, World Cup qualifying and the Gold Cup. Then the Olympics, and hopefully then the Confederations Cup. Football never ends. Stick around. We're going places, you better believe it.

I first stumbled across the beautiful work of Mimby Jones Robinson in Melbourne's street-art-central Hosier Lane in 2013. It immediately stood out to me.
There were probably more than 200 other murals in those laneways but in my opinion no other piece was so unique. I checked the artist's signature, took a couple of pics and hoped I would see more in the future.
Mimby Jones Robinson – an interview.
I actually didn't happen upon another one of Mimby's street art murals for many years. In fact it wasn't until three years later. But as soon as I spied one I knew it had to be hers.
Those vibrant colours, that face and the positive energy exuding from the work. What a signature! Instantly recognizable. Mimby Jones Robinson possesses a style like no other.
I wondered if I could track-her-down somehow to ask her about her work and motivations. And it turns out I could and I did. So please see below a feature on Mimby's work and motivations ~ in her own words.
Question 1.
You have a unique and very colourful style with your murals. What was your inspiration for this style of art?
"My world is filled with loads of colour and artwork so it was always going to be a natural extension for me to paint in a rainbow palette. For me personally I draw no line between my life and my canvas. I love covering my clothes, body and surroundings in paint and glitter. It makes me happy and inspires my work…
I have been painting colourful paintings and murals for over 10 years now. I paint large colourful Goddesses on the streets to celebrate all women- the mothers, the sisters, the daughters, the grandmothers."
Question 2.
Would you say there a slight geisha vibe to some of the faces you paint?
"Sometimes there is but I never know who is going to come through on canvas/ a wall with the women I paint. I generally have a slight idea of what I want created but it is always a surprise to me when I paint the faces as the process is quite spontaneous. My Goddesses are always an extension of me and my world."
Question 3.
You can read our bios on both Adnate & Kaffeine by clicking the links above.
Final Question.
So Bowie. What does he mean to you?
"I was in the studio a month ago listening to Bowie while I painted when I decided to paint him. I always seem to listen to Bowie whenever I want to get in the zone. He is one of the most fabulous humans to have graced the earth so it felt right to recreate him in my style with flowers in his hair and surrounded by Queen Bees. I rarely paint men and when I do they always end up looking like women anyway which made painting Bowie so easy."
The Wrap.
Mimby Jones Robinson has carved a unique and colourful niche in the street art scene both in Australia and beyond. Even a hack like me can spot her work from a distance and three years after the last occasion. Not bad.
Now based in Adelaide after many years in Melbourne painting stints in both Paris and Berlin await Mimby. Put quite simply the more of the world that gets to see her work the better. For her and for us.
Updated Artwork.
Recently I spied some updated Mimby Jones Robinson art over-the-top of one of her earlier works in Fitzroy. Mimby has outdone herself with this mural. This goddess spills forth colour and beauty like a volcano of pigments. Such a beautiful face.
No wonder to date (as of December 2018) this image has been shared more than 6000 times on social media!

Interactive Deep Analysis (IDeA) With Rybka Aquarium 2010
One of the biggest changes in Rybka Aquarium 2010 is the greatly improved Interactive Deep Analysis (IDeA). Many players were happy with the possibilities offered by IDeA in Rybka 3 Aquarium, but I'm afraid that it will look like a dinosaur compared to the new version. It provides better automatic analysis and much more effective ways to control the analysis process and the shape of the analysis tree. I'm sure that many serious players will find that the new and improved IDeA is an essential tool to stay competitive. Read the rest of this entry »

Welcome to day 2 of the 4th Annual Handmade Holidays Blog Hop! A few years ago we were looking online for handmade gift ideas and thought it would be great if there was a resource dedicated JUST to handmade gift ideas. Enter the Handmade Holidays hop! We've gathered over 100 of our creative blogger friends in the craft industry as well as some of our fellow product manufacturers to bring you a plethora of inspiring gift ideas you can make now to give to your friends, family, and colleagues. Pin and bookmark these ideas for this holiday season and to use throughout the year! Each day of the hop features approximately 30 gift projects and you can "hop" from one blog to another to check them all out.
I don't know about you but shopping for tween girls is tough. You can't buy them princess girly stuff, but (as much as they would disagree) you also can't just buy them stuff they are just not ready for yet. To add to this, you have to be very specific about colors, designs... no princess, well maybe just one but if its the wrong one, well then... it could really mean ANYTHING.
I am going through this 8-12 age range with my daughter. I have really enjoyed it but am still baffled as to what style she enjoys (especially since it changes... ALL THE TIME).
SO with this in mind, I thought it might be fun to share some fun, EASY DIY gift items that will still be age appropriate yet make this age range of developing girls feel special, appreciated and acknowledges for the age and "maturity" that they are.
Here are a few of the ideas I came up with. Make sure to check back in the next few weeks for some more simple DIY gifts.

I haven't meant to blog this late today, but I had to get enough done before I wouldn't feel guilty for taking a break. Needless to say, I have worked hard today, but still have more that I hope to accomplish. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel, though. Anyway, I'm pausing from all that to write this little blog post.
A week or so, I wrote a blog post focusing on new Nine Inch Nails ticket sale method, which you can read here. I got a number of responses to it, including comments here. Afterwards, I had lingering thoughts that I wanted to address here. Today, I'll show my appreciation for Duran Duran ticket sales. Tomorrow, I dive deeper into the power of fans at shows.
Over the years, Rhonda and I have written lots about presales and buying tickets for shows. In most cases, those ticket buying events surrounded Duran Duran shows, but not always. Looking back, I suspect that the vast majority of reviews have criticized or complained in some way. For example, I distinctly remember expressing quite a bit of frustration when the summer 2016 shows went on sale as Ticketmaster's sale went less than smoothly (due to Ticketmaster, I might add). All that stress came out at whatever blogs we wrote at the time. Likewise, I know that we have blogged plenty of times in which we discussed the time between announcement of a show and when the tickets went on sale. It is almost guaranteed that when Duran announces a show there will be fans who will complain about how quickly the tickets will go on sale or the timing of the sale.
In thinking about those blogs, we weren't wrong to write them. Ticket sale outlets like Ticketmaster can and should do a better job. Adequate time in between press releases and sales is always appreciated. Yet, in thinking about how other bands have sold tickets, I really am thankful for Duran's methods. Let's start at the beginning. I am so glad that they have a fan club in which the members get to buy tickets ahead of the public. That is a super nice feature, one that does not get mentioned enough. This fact alone means that we have better chances to get tickets and to get better tickets.
Then, I think about the VIP packages. While, yes, one might argue that they offer the wrong things or that they are too expensive, but I am so grateful that they exist. They have given us plenty of chances to get really amazing seats. Has it always worked? No, of course not. There have been shows that we didn't get tickets when we wanted them or didn't get anywhere near what we wanted when it came to seat locations. In many cases, the experience of presales have been utterly stressful. Yet, overall, we have so benefitted from this feature. We have been able to be up front more times than we haven't because Duran offered that possibility through the VIP packages. I would also say that while they are expensive, they are not as much as I have seen with other bands.
The fact that Duran does offer fan community members to buy tickets before the public as well as VIP packages has been so important to my fandom as I have been able to see fabulous shows from prime locations. Sometimes, I think, it is super important to appreciate what we have rather than complain about the flaws. I, for one, hopes that the band keeps these elements forever. Now, don't get me wrong, I would welcome positive changes but I wouldn't want them to get rid of presales or VIP packages. Ever.

She was a beautiful little thing, but truth be told she could have been the most hideous thing to ever exist on the planet and Margaret would still find her beautiful. That was perhaps the magic of being a mother.
"She's amazing, isn't she?" Nick asked, reaching out to brush a little curl to the side of her head.
"She really is." Margaret couldn't help but smile as she looked back and forth between her own child, and that little girl's father. "Can you believe we made that?"
"Well, imagine that. We can do something wonderful," Nick teased, leaning over and kissing Margaret on the forehead without taking his eyes off his daughter.
"What should we call her?"
"Oh, Goodness," Nick finally looked up away from the child, "How do we chose? Naming a kid, that's a big deal."
"Just look at her, Nick. What's the first thing that comes to mind?" Margaret prompted.
Nick studied his daughter's face in silence for a while. Then he turned to Margaret and said, "Suzanna." He said it slowly, like he was tasting it out on his tongue, but then he smiled wider and repeated. "Suzanna."
Margaret nodded. "I like it. What do you think, Suzanna Marie?"
Nick picked up his daughter, and held her close to his chest. "Hello there, Suzanna Marie. Welcome to the world."

Why use GetMoreOffers.com to buy a home?
Buyers and sellers throughout Florida trust GetMoreOffers® and it's affiliated agents. We make searching for a home in Florida swift and trouble-free on our popular website GetMoreOffers.com. Our site contains homes for sale by owner and MLS listed properties from many areas of Florida.
Our agents pay attention to every detail about your significant purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a vast difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to escape the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.
Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with GetMoreOffers® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

Invexans participates in the cable industry through its investment in Nexans, which origin goes back to 1897, when the "Société Française des Câbles Électriques" was created at Lyon, France. Operations under the name Nexans started in 2000, after its creation. Nexans has a leadership position in the industry at worldwide level, playing a significant role in all segments in which it participates, with an industrial presence in 40 countries.
In 2008 Invexans agreed to the sale of its Cables unit to Nexans, thus transferring all of its assets in exchange for a cash payment and Nexans shares in the equivalent to approximately 9% of that company's interest.
On March 28, 2011, Invexans entered into an agreement with Nexans which intends to strengthen its position in the multinational's ownership. In line with such agreement, Invexans appointed three directors to the Board and increased its participation to approximately 20% at the end of 2011. As a result, Invexans acquired a significant influence on one of the leading players of the global industry, including as from 2012 Nexans business results as proportional share in net worth (VPP). Invexans therefore reached a similar size in the cables industry than it had in this sector prior to the sale of the cables unit in 2008, but with higher value-added products, a greater research and development capability and exposure at a global level.
Later, in November 2012, Invexans and Nexans entered into an amendment to the original agreement, by which Invexans could reach up to 28% shareholding interest of the French company.
In 2013, Nexans announced a capital increase of approximately 284 million euro, through the issue of 12.612.942 new shares. Invexans actively participated in this capital increase, subscribing a total 3,195,302 new shares. Also, Invexans increased its interest in Nexans by buying shares in the market until the third quarter of 2014. As of December 31st, 2014, Invexans totaled a 28.97% share in Nexans, appointing three directors of the company, one of them attending the Committee of Compensation and Appointments and the Strategy Committee, the latter being responsible for reviewing and monitoring the strategic plan of the French multinational.

Let's see you try to pick one out of many of the gems dropped during this interview.
Sway referred to fellow West Coast rapper, Paris, as the Black Panther of Hip-Hop during his introduction and that's the perfect title for him.
Paris touches on the issues he has with our government as well as his disappointment in the way Hip-Hop has evolved. Having multiple degrees in economics, he explains how school helped him remain independent and how to handle himself as a Black man in corporate America.
Paris' "Pistol Politics" released on September 15th and if you haven't already, make sure you check that out.

Each year, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven organizes a Science Event in which state-of-the-art research done in collaboration with diverse partners is presented. One of these partners is the Information Systems group of the Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences, where there is long-term collaboration on healthcare analytics and healthcare process support.
This year, the annual CZE Science Event took place on April 5th, 2018. The best poster prize was won by Saskia van Loon, PhD student within the Data Science flagship of the IMPULS program and the Information Systems group. Saskia researches the possibilities of using 'big data' in supporting medical decision making. In her prize-winning poster, Saskia developed a metabolic health index to quantify the health status of bariatric patients with co-morbidities. The work in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Technology can help monitor the generic health status of patients over the long-term after an operative intervention.

When I propose to display data discretely, I mean to show it with picture graphs (a discrete unit of measure on the graph) versus line, pie or other kinds of charts. I didn't mean "Leave out the embarrassing facts!"
Picture graphs are the simplest forms of charts, and are closest to representing the reality of what you are displaying. They are easiest for kids to understand. For example, here's a chart showing hot dogs eaten at a picnic:
Notice that the kids who ate the hot dogs are shown. Once we understand the idea of a picture graph, we can add some additional information, so the viewer doesn't have to squint at the tiny picture to identify the kids:
If the names are added we don't really need to have their pictures, so we can simplify a bit. Here is the chart using only the names. Now it's getting more abstract (farther from reality).
I am going to add another level of complexity. I am asking you to imagine that each 1 of the hot dogs shown represents 2 hot dogs in reality. Andrew ate 4, Hannah had 2, etc. The hot dog pictures are not really meaning a single dog in a bun, but two units of hot-dogginess. We have to do math in our heads to calculate Devin's picnic intake of 5 hot dogs.
In order to show this, math gurus invented the legend, or explanatory note. We put a legend at the bottom of the chart indicating that one dog picture = 2 hot dogs. We could have made it 3, 5, 10 or whatever we wanted.
In preparation for another level of abstraction, I have now added grid lines to the chart and value labels at the bottom of each grid line. We still have the hot dogs (we are about to remove them).
Here's the final version of our chart. It's turned from a picture graph to a bar graph. No more drawing little hot dogs, no more pictures of kids, just a boring old chart.
Isn't math fun? I think I will run down to Costco and pick up a hot dog for lunch.

Personality: Dr. Shantell D. Lewis
Spotlight on founder of nonprofit Here2Hear
9/20/2018, 6 a.m.
Want to go?
What: 3rd Annual Here2Hear Gala and Art Show, a fundraiser to benefit the nonprofit organization's programs to promote hearing health, including providing free hearing tests, free or low-cost hearing aids and hearing health seminars and programs.
When: 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, 1800 Lakeside Ave.
Tickets: $45 to $55.
Details: The event will feature music, entertainment, art and a silent auction.
Information and ticket purchase: www.Here2Hear.org or (804) 774-8311.
Hearing is one of our most precious gifts, giving us the ability to communicate effectively, which should not be taken for granted.
This is the core belief and driving passion for Dr. Shantell D. Lewis, founder of Here2Hear. The nonprofit organization, now in its eighth year, offers a host of free services and programs related to hearing health care for children and adults in the Richmond and Tri-Cities areas.
Dr. Lewis, a 41-year-old audiologist dedicated to advocacy and helping others, also leads Here2Hear's board that is made up a variety of health care professionals who want to boost hearing health in the metro area.
Working for several ear, nose and throat specialists, Dr. Lewis said she noticed people leaving the doctors' offices needed hearing help but couldn't cover the cost of hearing aids, and subsequently, would forego additional treatment.
"The nonprofit was founded based on that disparity and the much needed healthier hearing services," Dr. Lewis says. "Those underserved communities are not just people living below the poverty line, but every-day working people who simply can't afford health care."
Here2Hear provides free hearing tests and healthy ear examinations by licensed audiologists. It also provides free and low-cost hearing aids to people with hearing loss; educational seminars and written materials, including programs to teach young people how to protect their hearing by lowering the volume of their music and reducing the amount of time they are exposed to loud noise; and free kits to help people with hearing loss to communicate effectively in emergency situations.
Proceeds from Here2Hear's Annual Gala and Art Show, slated for Saturday, Sept. 29, at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, help fund its programs and services.
"I give 10 percent of my earnings each month to Here2Hear," says Dr. Lewis, who started the fundraising event three years ago.
Dr. Lewis' interest in audiology was piqued when she participated in a biology project during her freshman year at Virginia Union University in 1995.
"We were to talk to professionals in the field we wanted to pursue and I found Dr. Randall Dalton, an ear, nose and throat specialist," Dr. Lewis recalls. Her persistence helped get her past a reluctant receptionist, she says, and she was introduced to an audiologist in Dr. Dalton's office.
"I did a four-year, unpaid internship and realized my professional passion," Dr. Lewis recalls. "I discovered audiology was what I wanted to do because it involved the ear, although I still loved all of the senses."
Her experience led her to earn degrees in biology from VUU in 1999, a master's in audiology from Howard University in 2002 and a doctorate in audiology from the University of Florida in 2009.
