There maybe mad bullies around but people who say humans are mostly evil, corrupt, not kind haven't been very observant. Look at all everyday's little interactions: asking directions, buying food, etc. In absolute majority of cases people, strangers or not, are good to each other. This is why we are so shocked and upset when the opposite happens.
I've heard from several people that in places and times when and where there is violence, suffering, tension, war, people are surprisingly warm and kind to each others. When my grandmother was escaping the horrors of WWII from Western Russia to the Central Asia with a baby on her hand, she, as she always told me, had so much help from absolute strangers. It is a scary thought that we need disasters to be good. But I think it is other way round. When there is peace and prosperity people might look cold and distant from each other but that's because we mostly don't really badly need help. We can survive on our own. We all subconsciously know about this although consciously might wish for warmer relationship. Perhaps people should try and learn to live in relatively good times and still be close to each other.
There are things in life which I can't change, I just have to adapt. But out of things I can change it seems that there are just three simple things which make me happy: pausing to soak in the beauty, having good relationship with people surrounding me and trying to be as creative as possible in every aspect of my life. Secret of happiness? Easy! At least in theory…

McDonald's, a proud sponsor of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, is asking via Twitter what sport you're most excited to watch when the Olympics begin next month in Russia.
I know for me, it's "Synchronized Gay-Bashing."
A few others have chimed in as well:
How about you? What sport are you most looking forward to, now that the Olympics are being held in (yet again) an increasingly-totalitarian state that regularly abuses the human rights and basic freedoms of its citizens?
I got the ball rolling. Please post your own favorites in the comments, and I can add them here.

ASP.NET Performance Lab: Hello, World!
I thought I could shed some light on the ASP.NET performance testing by presenting our most basic scenario: Hello, World!
Step 1: State the Objective
We want to ensure that the basic ASP.NET pipeline does not regress from one release to the next. We use server throughput (requests per second) as our performance metric. We want throughput to be on-par or better than the previous release (aka, baseline).
Step 2: Create the Scenario
We have a basic IIS website with the following ASPX page:
<%="Hello, World!" %>
Step 3: Run the Scenario
Most of our scenarios use the wcat load tool to test the web server. You can download wcat here.
In order to detect regressions we need to have reproducible results. Here are some of the ways that we reduce variability:
- Eliminate the variables. Since I am measuring ASP.NET performance, .NET should be my one variable. Other factors such as hardware, OS, IIS, wcat version and the scenario itself should remain constant.
- Use a private network. Eliminate unnecessary network traffic to the web server which could affect results.
- Minimize server processes. Again, we want to avoid competition for server resources. We usually disable Windows Firewall and run the wcat controller and clients from separate machines.
- Measure warm. Since we are testing throughput and not startup, we can reduce the variability by adding a warm-up period. This will reduce JIT compilation and population of caches which could cause more variance.
- Max the CPU. Server load and system resources factor into the equation as well. We try to keep this near-constant by applying a full load during testing. Our goal is to achieve at least 90% CPU usage during our runs.
We quantify our test variance (aka, noise) by running multiple iterations. We ignore the first iteration which we've found to have greater variance, and calculate the average and standard deviation for the remaining three. Standard deviation is our noise indicator.
Step 4: Analyze the Results
After doing our baseline and test runs, we should have results like the following:
|Baseline StdDev
|Result StdDev
These are the columns:
- Baseline, Result – Requests per second average for the last 3 iterations of the run
- Diff – Percentage of how far off the Result is from the Baseline
- Baseline StdDev, Result StdDev – Percentage of variance between the run iterations
- Pass / Fail – Whether the Diff is above our threshold.
Based on our experience we've set our threshold at 5%. We define failures as runs that are more than 5% regressed. Runs that show >5% improvement should also be investigated in order to understand and validate the cause.
We consider a run noisy if the standard deviation exceeds a threshold, which we also set at 5%. If a failed run is noisy, we throw out one more iteration to see if the Diff and StdDev improve. If they do we may ignore the failure and wait for the next run. If the runs continue to be noisy, then the scenario should be investigated in order to further reduce the variance.
Step 5: Investigate Regressions
As the saying goes, "Measure Early, Measure Often". The less changes there are between your runs, the easier it will be to track down the cause of your regressions. This is why the ASP.NET performance lab runs daily with builds from multiple branches. Often times I'm able to quickly identify a regression simply by looking at the source control history.
Another way to quickly diagnose regressions is to enable performance counters or other non-invasive tracing which could help identify the cause. We always save the wcat logs with our performance counters and other useful information such as throughput, working set, percent cpu usage, and HTTP responses. The HTTP responses can rule out test failures, while the other diagnostics (combined with source control) can help narrow down the cause.
Finally, if a quick diagnosis is not possible, find a good profiler. Some of the tools we use are the Visual Studio (F1) profiler, CLR Profiler, and XPerf. I hope to demonstrate some of these in future posts.

Stephanie Bice always followed politics, but she'd never considered going into public service until she got a tap on the shoulder from an Oklahoma lawmaker. "The former senator who held my seat told me he was not running for re-election and thought I would make an exceptional legislator," Bice says.
Elected in 2014, Bice has focused on business-friendly policies. That emphasis reflects her experience having worked in financial oversight for her family's technology company, and later in business development for an Oklahoma City digital marketing agency. One example of this focus has been her effort to bring Oklahoma's alcohol laws more in line with the rest of the country. Bice has sponsored legislation that would allow beer and wine to be sold at grocery and convenience stores, rather than just in liquor stores. Another measure would allow onsite beer sales at microbreweries. Both bills passed in the House and Senate last session, but contained differences that still need to be reconciled.
Bice is also eager to tackle education, mental health and prison reform. "As a freshman legislator, I see many opportunities for improving Oklahoma," she says. "But making those changes will take time."

There's a handsome yet crazy bearded man barking orders at 25 strangers in the middle of an iced-over Chile.
Yep, it's that time of the year again!
Ant Middleton is back on Channel 4 series SAS: Who Dares Wins as the lead instructor of the savage 10-day military course.
Here's everything you need to know about the most-popular hard-man on TV right now (unless you're one of the SAS recruits, of course).
- SAS: Who Dares Wins 2019 MALE recruits – Meet the cast!
- Who Dares Wins 2019 LOCATION – Where is season 4 filmed?
- Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins – Meet the CAST about to taste hell!
Who is Ant Middleton?
Ant is a veteran military expert who first joined the military ranks in 1997 at the age of 16.
He went on to represent the Royal Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron Royal and Special Boat Service, serving as a point man, lead scout, primary fires operator and sniper.
Ant's huge wealth of military experience and skills means he is one of few that have served in the 'holy trinity' of the U.K's elite special forces.
In other words – don't mess!

Always think for yourself! The moment you let others think for you, you become estranged with who you truly are… Use that time to think about the path you're on and be sure that it's the one that you've chosen ???? #zeronegativity #positivemind #positivelife #findyourself #betruetoyou #limitless
Ant moved into TV when he headed a team of Action Men for Channel 4 series SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2015.
The series, which sees members of the public take on a gruelling seven-day SAS camp, is now into its fourth season. A special celebrity version will also air later this year.
How Old is Ant Middleton? Is he Married?
Ant Middleton was born on September 22, 1980, making him 38 years old.
Sorry ladies, but yes, Ant is married.
His wife is called Emilie and they met a very long time ago before Ant started serving in the Marines.
Speaking of his wife, who Ant now has five children with, he told the Belfast Telegraph:
It was love at first sight when we met, and I knew I had to change to keep her. I joined the Marines, passed Special Forces selection and became a young leader in the military.
I call her the 'long haired general' because she's the boss at home and a super-mum.
What Else has Ant Presented?
Towards the close of 2018, Ant released one-off Channel 4 documentary, Extreme Everest.
It followed his attempt to reach Mount Everest's 29,000ft peak.
Ant set out to complete his most daring feat yet over a five-and-a-half week expedition in May 2018, fully aware that nearly 300 lives had been lost on the mountain since 1922.
Speaking about the experience, Ant said:
I nearly died on that mountain. I'll never forget the experience. I had this huge surge of panic, thinking: 'You aren't going to get out of this one, mate – it's your time to go, this is the end'.
View this post on Instagram
It made perfect sense for Extreme Everest to be made in association with #Berocca ? Energy and Mental Performance is something we're both all about and without the help of the team at Berocca I might never have been able to make this climb happen. It was an epic experience and one which tested the limits of my physical and mental strength. See the ascent this Sunday 11th Nov 9:30pm @channel4 #ad
I've never been that vulnerable and helpless ever in my life. I felt almost childlike, because the whole situation was so out of control.

This is a modern city of 8 million with not one but two skyscrapers that are almost half a kilometer high. Kuala Lumpur or KL is the heart of Malaysia; the city sees an influx in the morning and an exodus by evening; in this sense it really functions like slowly beating heart.
An interesting fact: The bridge between the towers is connected to neither building and just rests on both. Due to the height of the towers, both towers sway due to wind and a fixed bridge would not last.
An affordable three hour tour that starts in the morning as well as the afternoon is a good way to familiarize yourself with the city and then explore it leisurely.
Sri Mahamariamman Temple will bring you back to Tamil Nadu instantly. It is the oldest temple in KL. Outside, you will find vendors selling flowers and offerings that you can take to the Lord. It is situated a few minutes from Central Market.
Brickfield is the Indian enclave of KL. The streets have Indian shops selling desi spices, saris and clothing and it's also the place where troubled vegetarians can refuel. Brickfield has a few century old churches and a massage center that's staffed by blind masseurs. Get off at KL Sentral Station to visit it.
Changkat Bukit Bintang is where the young head for a night of revelry. Visit the place and choose what turns you on. There's Pisco's owned by a Spaniard and next door is Nagaba and moving a little further is Faranjipani for tech-house, this one turns into a gay bar on Fridays.
National Mosque (Masjid Negara) can accommodate 15,000 Muslims at one time. It has 73 meters high minarets and some 13 acres of gardens. It is open to all during periods not used for prayer by Muslims.
Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Petaling Jaya suburbs is included in this list to cool you and the kids. With the best of plans, a family vacation can become a wailing one if the young are not given due attention. It's not outstanding but will provide a welcome break for the kiddies and you.
Central Market, City Center used to be a fruit and veg market, it's now transformed into a tourist hub with handicrafts and free shows offered by street performers. There's an art gallery, a tourist office and a 3D museum etc., on the upper floors.
The Indian culture and presence will astound you in Malaysia but if you intend to visit this country, you should book now. With summer fast approaching, both air tickets and hotels will get more expensive. Booking now will also get you early bird discounts and EbixCash World Money Multi-currency cards will save you money on forex.

The Chiropractic Identity: Charting Our Future Roles
SOURCE: Health Insights Today
By Daniel Redwood, DC
For at least as long as any living doctor of chiropractic can remember, our profession has engaged in ongoing and sometimes heated debate about the proper role of its practitioners. Should our primary or sole focus be the spine? The nervous system? Vertebral subluxation? Back and neck pain? Should we be musculoskeletal pain specialists? Complementary care generalists? Primary care physicians?
Two new papers, one by Donald Murphy and colleagues in Chiropractic and Manual Therapies [1] and the other by Jan Hartvigsen and colleagues in British Medical Journal, [2] simultaneously point in the same direction—toward the role of primary spine care practitioner. The lead authors of both articles are chiropractors, Murphy from the United States and Hartvigsen from Denmark. Neither proposes the primary spine care practitioner role as the only option for DCs; both make a persuasive case that developing this role on a much more widespread basis will significantly enhance the effectiveness of the health care system's neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) care delivery. In the process, they demonstrate why many practitioners may find work as a primary spine care practitioner attractive. To the extent that deeper integration of chiropractic is one of the profession's primary goals, this may be one of the best vehicles for its achievement. At the very least, it's a possibility worthy of serious examination.
World Federation of Chiropractic Identity Statement
The Murphy and Hartvigsen proposals are wholly consistent with the 2005 professional identity statement from the World Federation of Chiropractic, which grew out of an extensive consultation and consensus building process among the WFC's membership, comprised of the national chiropractic associations of over 80 nations, including both ACA and ICA from the United States.
How do the world's chiropractors, speaking through the WFC, define themselves? First, with a phrase summarizing the primary identity of chiropractors: "The spinal health care experts in the health care system."
Next, with a series of qualifying statements:
- Ability to improve function in the neuromusculoskeletal system, and overall health and quality of life.
- Specialized approach to examination, diagnosis and treatment, based on best available research and clinical evidence, and with particular emphasis on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system.
- Tradition of effectiveness and patient satisfaction.
- Without use of drugs and surgery, enabling patients to avoid these where possible.
- Expertly qualified providers of spinal adjustment, manipulation and other manual treatments, exercise instruction and patient education.
- Collaboration with other health professionals.
- A patient-centered and biopsychosocial approach, emphasizing the mind/body relationship in health, the self-healing powers of the individual, individual responsibility for health, and encouraging patient independence.
This WFC definition does not limit what DCs can do. Its goal is to identify and define the common ground we all share and to speed the day when patients going to a chiropractor anywhere in the world can enter that doctor's office with a reasonable expectation of receiving certain basic diagnostic and treatment/management procedures, delivered with a high level of patient-centered professionalism. Depending on licensure laws and personal choices by individual chiropractors, some chiropractors will continue to develop expertise in additional areas and utilize these skills in patient care. But whatever worthwhile "extras" a particular practitioner might provide, he or she would be expected to deliver the core procedures that constitute the essence of chiropractic care.
Primary Spine Care Practitioners
The new commentaries by Murphy et al and Hartvigsen et al apply this spine-focused perspective in ways that meet current and emerging health care system needs. It is now obvious to virtually all informed observers that primary care physicians (PCPs) in the medical profession have neither the focused expertise nor the time to effectively serve as the first step or entry point in the management of NMS pain patients. The primary expertise of these PCPs lies elsewhere, while the highest-level diagnostic and therapeutic expertise for NMS conditions can be found among practitioners whose training strongly emphasizes it and whose NMS skills are continuously honed by interactions with virtually every patient. Chiropractors are well-positioned to fill this need.
Hartvigsen et al's BMJ commentary expressly advocates shifting non-pathologic NMS cases away from medical doctors to chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths. (The osteopathic scope of practice in Britain is similar to that of U.S. chiropractors, not U.S. osteopaths). Notably, the article's authors include both Hartvigsen, a DC who is research director at the Institute for Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics in Odense, Denmark, and Peter Croft, a medical physician and epidemiologist best known among chiropractors for his landmark 1998 BMJ study that permanently debunked the myth that 90% of patients seeing MDs for low back pain recover fully within several weeks. (After 12 months, only 25% had recovered, but 90% had stopped seeing their MDs for low back pain.) Hartvigsen and Croft are not the first to advocate shifting musculoskeletal care of non-pathologic origin away from MDs. The importance of their article is that it is published in BMJ, which is the journal of the British Medical Association.
In the United States, this would be comparable to having such a commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association or perhaps the New England Journal of Medicine, something that has never happened and remains almost unimaginable at this point. The potentially groundbreaking significance of the Hartvigsen article is that the United Kingdom may be moving toward becoming the first nation to shift first-contact responsibility for NMS cases away from medical general practitioners to chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths. Within the UK's nationalized system of universal health care, such changes could potentially go system-wide relatively quickly, should such a policy shift be enacted.
Limits of the Supermarket
The commentary by Murphy et al addresses similar issues in an American context, focusing on the Affordable Care Act's deeply embedded emphasis on strengthening primary care. In their abstract, the authors aptly note, "Costs of medical care for SRDs [spine-related disorders] have skyrocketed in recent years. Despite this, there is no evidence of improvement in the quality of this care. In fact, disability related to SRDs is on the rise. We argue that one of the key solutions to this is for the health care system to have a group of practitioners who are trained to function as primary care practitioners for the spine."
They continue, "A variety of physicians and other providers have traditionally been involved with the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. This includes primary care physicians, chiropractic physicians, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, osteopathic physicians, physical therapists, psychologists, massage therapists, kinesiologists, naprapaths and acupuncturists. This has resulted in what has been termed the "supermarket approach" to the management of SRDs. That is, the SRD patient is faced with an environment in which there is a large number of practitioners, each offering a solution to SRDs, with the patient left to sort out which of these disparate approaches is best for his or her particular problem. Oftentimes this determination is based more on salesmanship and marketing than on science, clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness."
Their solution is to carve out a role along the lines of the general dentist, who provides primary care for oral health. Primary spine care would involve "comprehensive first contact and continuing care for persons with any undiagnosed sign, symptom, or health concern … not limited by problem origin (biological, behavioral, or social), involving the spine." This would be provided by practitioners specifically trained to diagnose and manage the majority of patients with SRDs with evidence-based methods. The primary spine care practitioner would function as the first contact for patients with SRDs and could also function as a resource for traditional PCPs (family practice physicians, general internal medicine physicians, pediatric, obstetrical/ gynecological physicians, primary care nurse practitioners or physician's assistants) to refer patients who present with SRDs.
Going Forward
Murphy and colleagues explain that chiropractors and others serving in this newly defined role as primary spine care practitioners would in some ways need to stretch beyond their current roles, particularly with regard to understanding the complex interplay between physical and psychological factors in the chronic NMS pain patient. They would also have to understand, respect, and be fully prepared to appropriately utilize the full range of options available to patients, directly or through referral, including "intensive rehabilitation, interventional treatments and surgical procedures." Some DCs already possess this knowledge base and are currently filling a primary spine care role; others would need further training. In a health care system reordered along the lines proposed by Murphy and Hartvigsen, those who pursue the primary spine care practitioner role as their defining career path would be integrated into mainstream health care delivery in ways that few chiropractors have yet experienced.
Is this our profession's future? Most likely, it will be a part of our future. Some chiropractors may find great fulfillment in such a role, while others may gravitate toward other models of practice. These visionary proposals explicitly do not seek to force all chiropractors into the same mold but instead to allow professional evolution to proceed along multiple paths. Whether or not we as individual practitioners choose this particular path, we all can celebrate the opening of new doors.

Remember my first post here about Facebook engagement? So much has changed in such little time about how to write a post on Facebook that engages.
Facebook writing, engagement depression, crazy algorithms turning user news feeds into a mess that seemed impossible for marketers to beat… and some tricks on Facebook writing to try for better reach and conversion.
What are the rules of Facebook marketing today? Facebook algorithms are even crazier now. Experts like Jitendra Vaswani come up with alternative ways to stay on top of Facebook algorithms changes, as people don't come to Facebook for words anymore. Our emotional intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds, so emotions are what users want to get from social media networks today. It appears that a positive emotional response to your social media content is the engine of your marketing success on Facebook and everywhere.
With that in mind, we can assume that words themselves don't trigger emotions from people, right?
"I would hug you, but I am just a text."
Facebook writing becomes a thing of the past? It's nothing but visual content can trigger emotions and make the audience pay attention to your brand, both your personal brand on Facebook and business one?
Not really.
Words, if suitable and tailor-made, can trigger emotions and encourage the desired action from people. And you don't need any visual decorations to heighten the effect. What you need is one (tiny) detail. In 2019, concentrate on emotional narrative when writing.
Social media is about life, not beautimous language or literature.
Facebook Writing That Triggers Emotions
Web writing techniques we all know still work, but make sure to answer these questions before publishing your next text on Facebook:
- Does it surprise you? What's new in this text for you personally?
- Why should people want to read this text?
- How can it make the life of its reader better?
- Why should people want to tell about this text or share it? What emotion does it trigger? Would you share this text personally?
- Does your text encourage to comment? Does it involve to a discussion? How?
- Does it hook a reader from its first line? How emotional is the first sentence of your text? What emotion or reaction does it trigger? A question? An intrigue?
- Is there a wow-effect in your text?
- Would you use the same words if spoke about this topic aloud?
- Did you enjoy writing this text? What did you feel while writing it?
- What is your text about? (Use one sentence to describe it.)
- Is the topic of this text your personal problem?
- What issue do you bring up in this text? Do you know the answer? Is it a broad or specific question? What its aspect do you cover in this particular text?
- Take a look at the last sentence of your text. Does it encourage to discuss the text or give an opinion on it? Is there any intrigue?
Once you've come up with clear answers to all these questions, your Facebook text is ready to go live.
For your text to include answers to all these questions, consider the following:
Reader's Pyramid
As well as with Maslow's, a reader's pyramid is built on value and needs. Depending on their needs at the very moment, your target audience will respond to definite topics and content types.
- Physiological needs. – Respond to texts a la "Prices rise."(The writing genre to use here is action.)
- Safety. – Respond to texts a la "A serial killer is in the city." (The writing genre to use for stories is crime, horror, or thriller.)
- Belonging. – Respond to texts a la "Children become smarter." (Love stories, romance, family stories are what to apply to in your texts.)
- Self-esteem. – Respond to texts a la"Top trends of this summer." (Society, performance, status stories are your best weapon here.)
- Self-actualization. – Respond to texts a la"British scientists have found out that…" (Write texts that expand readers' worldview.)
- Esthetics and Intelligence. – Respond to content based on creativity, morality, self-transcendence.
Keep in mind the audience needs when brainstorming and coming up with ideas for Facebook writing.
Every text is an idea. But what is "idea" itself?
It's a connection between already known quantities. Our brain builds such connections all the time, spontaneously and unconsciously. As American chemist and author Linus Pauling said, "the best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas." So, keep track of them at every turn.
What people want:
- To get the information from around the world in real time.
- To get multimedia information (videos and photos).
- To take part in discussions.
- To generate content themselves.
So give them a text that would fit the bill on these accounts.
Every text is research. It needs to surprise you. Have you learned anything new after writing it? Given that Facebook texts are not that long, you need to avoid writing on a wide range of problems and their all aspects. Otherwise, your texts will sound too general and vague.
Tip: Verbalize an idea as a question. It will allow you to start researching that particular aspect rather than describe a problem with platitudes. Example: Bid4Papers.
Beautiful words don't inspire or trigger emotions. What inspires is precedents and overcoming (not necessarily through pain and blood). A reader should identify himself with your text: discover, learn, or get inspired.
Back to the question: how can your Facebook text make the life of its reader better? A stroke of insight is what inspires. If a reader understands (clearly) what he needs to do after reading your text, he will definitely share it because he has identified himself with your story's emotional core.
The most powerful emotions for sharing on Facebook are guilt, fear, ego (a desire to be first and best), optimism ("everything's gonna be fine" stuff), and "favor for a favor." The only way to involve emotions in your social media posts and make people want to listen to you (not listen – want to listen) is long familiar:
Storytelling on Facebook
Long story short:
Storytelling is not about data. It's about experience, process, and feelings. It's a combination of marketing and fiction.
And now comes the best part:
It's tailor-made content about specific examples. Always. It's about engagement that triggers feedback from the audience. And we marketers know: engagement and comments, not "likes" are what matters for a Facebook page monetization.
We need to be specific:
- What stories reflect our brands' nature best.
- What stories reflect the way we want people to perceive our brands.
Case in point: National Geographic.
What: 92.6 million followers on Instagram, TV brand #1, and the print media #2 on Facebook.
The trick: emotional stories backed with terrific visual components (photos).
- A high-quality photo to trigger a wow-effect.
- A first sentence to hook: shock, sentiment, interest, singularity.
- A format: interactive 360-videos.
You are welcome to use different genres of storytelling on Facebook:
- A personal story or a series of several stories leading to the same conclusion. Example: Tim Soulo.
- An interview (storytelling in a dialogue).
- Video storytelling. Example: TED.
- Freewriting. For example, your diary.
- Photo storytelling. Example: Humans of New York.
But the only rule: one story = one idea and one goal. The most efficient response from the audience is a catharsis and a desire to "screw it, let's do it!" To get such a response, ask yourself: how people can use this story; why they might need it.
Structure of your Facebook post
As well as in life, your Facebook writing needs to trigger several emotions. From three to five, to be specific, for readers to not get bored.
The neuroscience proves there's a difference between a story and a good story able to capture hearts and minds. Stories activate the rush of oxytocin (emotional connections), dopamine (pleasant sensations), and cortisone (attention) in our brains; and that's why the most efficient stories are those with drama when a protagonist needs to overcome challenges and cope with problems.
Even if your Facebook post is of five lines only, make sure to structure it with storytelling in mind:
- Focus at the very beginning.
- Use a wow-effect.
- Create the highest possible reality. (Identification with a protagonist's feelings).
- Write as you talk. (Avoid professional jargon and cliches; don't sound like an expert who came to teach the audience.)
- Finish on a positive wave. (Never leave the audience with a bad taste in the mouth after reading you.)
Storytelling is not about how awesome you or your brand are, but what you felt and overcame on your way to that awesomeness. The stories about life, not marketing or plans are what people want to read when coming to Facebook.
Facebook writing in 2019 is about "I have a dream, not a plan." Tell your audience about experiences, reactions, and challenges on your (your brand's) way to success. Hit their emotions, talk with them as if you sit at the table in a cafe with the closest friend, add a bit of intrigue to involve them into discussions – and you'll win the battle with Facebook algorithms once and for all.
Be honest. Be sincere. Write short but bright stories. The stories that hundreds of people will retell and (why not, actually?) remember for years.
Sincerely yours,

Today I'm going to share just a little bit about the V front blouse that I included in the spring capsule wardrobe I worked on for the Sew Alongs And Sewing Contests fb group.
Me Made May really showed that I was missing some of the Core Colors from my wardrobe, so I immediately started making Simplicity 1430 View B in a red lawn from Fabric Mart and crossed off a long waiting project.
This cute number went together pretty easily until I hit the neck band technique. My gut instinct was to apply a bias binding, but I decided to follow the pattern. Uh-Oh. The instructions have you apply a pieced neckband, a neckband facing, and stitch through all the layers. That adds up to seven layers at the shoulder seams. The result, even in a lightweight lawn, was a thick rope-like neckband.
I hated this neckband, so I ripped it off and added a 1in facing instead. I'm so much happier with the fit and feel. To keep that cut out look, you could use a bias binding.
The pattern: Simplicity 1430 View B, size 12. Stupid neckband removed and replaced with a facing, closure at CB eliminated and 1/2in added to hip.
The fabric: 100% cotton lawn from Fabric Mart, long sold out.
Notes: Choose an easier option for the neck binding and skip the back closure if you want to.
Simplicty 1430 view B should take you about 3.5 hours to make. A size 12 used 1yd of fabric.
Total cost: $3.50 Fabric $3.50 Pattern $0-stash

Kathi Dantley Warren, currently the senior executive director of development for Duke Cancer Institute, has been named associate vice president of development at Rice University, effective July 10.
With more than 17 years of experience at higher education and medical institutions, Warren will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of individual fundraising programs and also oversee various departments within the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, including gift planning, major gifts, school-based fundraising and annual giving.
"All of us at Rice are incredibly excited that Kathi will be joining the Development and Alumni Relations team," said Vice President Darrow Zeidenstein. "Educated as a scientist, Kathi brings incredible smarts and a wealth of development experience from her work at Cornell and Duke, two of the best development programs in the country. I have zero doubt that both faculty and staff will enjoy working with Kathi as we seek to secure resources to enhance Rice's mission."
In her development role with one of the original eight comprehensive cancer centers designated by the National Cancer Institute, Warren transformed the fundraising program from a yearly $18 million enterprise to a $30 million enterprise and successfully completed a $200 million campaign.
Before joining the Duke Cancer Institute and Duke Health in Durham, N.C., in 2014, Warren served as assistant dean for alumni affairs and development at Cornell University's College of Engineering, where she created its first alumni affairs and development strategic plan and alumni engagement plan. Over a four-year period she increased annual revenues from $22.7 million to more than $56 million and helped achieve the second-best fundraising year in the college's history. Through philanthropy she also enabled the college to create and endow several new programs, including an engineering leadership program and teaching excellence institute.
"It gave me great joy to see the legacy that this created," Warren said. "Faculty and students are benefiting from those programs that were the result of a partnership with donors and institutional leadership."
Warren has an M.A. in cell and molecular biology and microbiology from Duke University and a B.A. in biology from Hampton University. She found herself drawn to the development profession after thinking about how she had been impacted as the recipient of an undergraduate scholarship and graduate fellowship. She learned more about the profession that made that scholarship and fellowship possible and became a development associate at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she worked her way up to associate director of development.
She met a refugee from an African country at a University of Maryland scholarship event for donors and recipients and kept in touch with him. After graduating, the refugee got a job at the United Nations and then returned to his home country to try to assist people there, but none of that would have happened if he had not received the scholarship. "That was hugely impactful," Warren said. "The scholarship changed not only his life, but the lives of others." She said experiences like this helped her to find meaning in the development profession. "It's very rewarding," she said.
Warren's career in development includes more than 10 years of leading teams during fundraising campaigns of more than $1 billion. She said the best institutions find a way to blend the scientific tenets of fundraising with "the art of cultivating meaningful, lifelong relationships with an institution," and Rice's ability to do that was a key factor in her decision to join the university's development team.
"Rice has an excellent story to tell and a visionary leader in President David Leebron," Warren said. She noted that Rice's prestige as a research institution, its liberal arts programs, its residential college system and its unique landscape in an urban setting are "very compelling and really engender not just investments but partnerships with donors" and can lead to "transformational gifts."
Originally from Alexandria, Va., Warren said she is excited to come to Rice and to make a home in Texas for her family, which includes her husband, Stephen; her 11-year-old son, Bennett; and Pearl, a Piston terrier who is "the sweetest dog on the planet." Warren is an avid sports enthusiast who likes to run, lift weights and play basketball with her son. She also enjoys cooking and acrylic painting.
Warren succeeds Ben Renberg, who left Rice last summer for a position at Cornell University.

Triumphs in Daytona: Riding the Bobber, Scrambler and Street Triple RS (with photo gallery)
Last week I had the good fortune of checking a few things off my life's to-do list in a very short period of time. I went to Daytona Beach during Bike Week, visited the legendary Daytona International Speedway for the first time, watched an AMA national flat track race (the season-opening Daytona TT), met a Daytona 200 winner ('72 victor Don Emde) and got to ride the all-new and highly anticipated 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber.
Oh, and I also got to test the revised Street Scrambler and the dangerously awesome 2018 Street Triple RS. Not a bad set of accomplishments for 48 hours in Florida!

Joining the new Street Cup in the Street Twin line up for 2017 – the all-new Street Scrambler builds on the Street Twin's position as the fun and accessible contemporary Bonneville and brings a significant update in capability and style to the iconic Triumph Scrambler.
Purposeful Scrambler Style
The all-new Street Scrambler has been developed to deliver more purposeful and beautiful Scrambler style with unique features and detailing.
Sharing the same contemporary custom styling principles as the Street Twin, the new Street Scrambler has the iconic Bonneville silhouette combined with clean lines, minimal bodywork and modern finishes such as the elegant fuel tank with locking cap, black sculpted engine covers with the Triumph makers mark and engine badge, single throttle body with aluminum finisher and distinctive fined head and header clamps.
In-keeping with the name and heritage, the Street Scrambler is packed with distinctive and beautiful scrambler finishes including;
- Interchangeable pillion seat and aluminum rear rack as standard
- Removable pillion pegs and hangers
- Steel high grip 'Bear Trap' adventure style front foot pegs

The all-new Street Scrambler is available in three exciting paint schemes;
- Jet Black
- Matt Khaki Green
- Korosi Red and Frozen Silver with jet black hand painted coach lining and unique tank decals
More Performance
There's been a major step forward from the previous generation Scrambler in regards to engine, exhaust and rider focused technology - all combining to give more performance and a better riding experience from the new Street Scrambler.
Fitted with the critically acclaimed 900cc Bonneville high torque engine, the Street Scrambler delivers much more torque and power low down and in the mid-range, perfect for around town and light off-roading. A key update to the original Bonneville engine platform, the 900cc engine features a charismatic 270° firing interval for smooth, linear power delivery from the slick five-speed gearbox.
Enhanced throttle response from Triumph's ride-by-wire fuel injection and cutting-edge liquid cooling system have been carefully integrated into the unique style of the Street Scrambler. This reduces fuel emissions and significantly improves fuel efficiency whilst providing smooth and precise drive for a higher level of control and rideability. This, combined with a new extended service interval of 10,000 miles (16,000km) dramatically reduces the overall cost of ownership.
The all new, more compact, high level twin Scrambler exhaust in beautiful stainless steel delivers a unique scrambler soundtrack, authentic scrambler style and features an intricate header run that cleverly integrates the cat box and is finished off with brushed stainless steel silencers with stylish contrasting black heat shields.
Enhanced Capability
The stunning authentic Scrambler look comes complete with contemporary capability for maximum precision, control and safety and a wealth of advanced rider focused technology including:
Enhanced rideability, safety and control, from a single throttle body.
Switchable ABS
A unique feature on the Street Scrambler that reinforces its capability is switchable ABS, accessed via the instrument menu.
This is the latest generation anti-lock braking system – introducing a new level of safety and control yet remaining unobtrusive and with minimal visual impact.
Switchable Traction Control
Switchable traction control, accessed via the instrument menu,
helps to maximize rider safety and control.
Torque Assist Clutch
Designed to reduce clutch lever effort for the rider, bringing a lighter touch and feel to the clutch and making it easier to ride, and for longer
Liquid Cooling
For cleaner and more fuel-efficient riding (up to 36% better fuel economy).
LED Rear Light
Incorporated into the classic design, it creates a distinctive light pattern with enhanced power efficiency.
Engine Immobilizer
Thatcham approved immobilizer with a transponder incorporated into new key.
USB Charging Socket
Mounted underneath the seat for convenient charging of essential devices.
Stylish Twin Clocks
Feature packed clock cleverly incorporating a digital menu system for fingertip control while riding.
- Rev counter
- Gear position indicator
- Odometer
- Two trip settings
- Service indicator
- Range to empty
- Fuel level
- Average and current fuel consumption
- Clock
- Traction control settings
With a dedicated new Scrambler chassis and suspension the Street Scrambler has had a major upgrade to its capability and has been given more dynamic Scrambler poise.
Just like the Street Twin, the new Street Scrambler chassis set-up is tuned to deliver a neutral and predictable ride. This, combined with the same confidence inspiring evolution to "stand-over" ergonomics for maneuverability and seat height considerably lower than the previous model, makes it a really accessible and fun bike for every type of rider.
Contributing to the commanding riding position and signature silhouette are the new model specific front forks and rear suspension units, which raise the back end for additional ride height, wider tapered aluminum handlebars and classic larger sized wire spoke wheels. The new Street Scrambler comes with a large 19'' wheel on the front and 17'' wheel on the rear both of which have stylish steel blacked out hubs and rims.
A further increase in specification comes from the new high value 2-piston sliding axial Nissin calliper with machined branding.
Add Even More Scrambler Style and Capability
Just like the Street Twin, the new Street Scrambler has been designed with personalization at its heart and has more than 150 accessories to deliver more rugged off road focus, more style and more everyday usability.
The off-road accessories include, adjustable rear piggy back FOX shocks with threaded preload adjustment and 24 position compression damping, black glass-filled nylon headlight grill with a pressed steel matt black finish bezel, and a forged and machined aluminum handlebar brace in a black anodized finish (fitted with a stylish black or brown vinyl bar pad embroidered with the Triumph logo).
For even more style the accessories range include slip on Vance and Hines single exit silencers, a traditional scrambler twin bench seat and 70mm diameter bar end peep mirrors in anodized black or clear aluminum with a laser etched Triumph logo.
For everyday usability there are internally wired heated grips available along with a steel fabricated center stand kit, an auxiliary power socket and cockpit mounting kit and highly durable engine bars.

Triumph introduces production Bonneville Bobber
"Brutally beautiful, the new Bonneville Bobber is a genuine factory custom. It perfectly encapsulates the minimalistic styling principles, muscular stance and purposeful engineering attitude of a genuine Bobber," says the Triumph website.
Here's a bike that looks like it was customized in a garage 30 years ago but has traction control, ride-by-wire, riding modes, fuel injection and ABS. Well done, Triumph. Slow clap.
Read the rest of the press literature from Triumph below:
Stripping the Bonneville T120 back to its purest essence it delivers all the hallmarks of a real bobber. With clean lines and low stance, single seat, wide flat bars, minimal bodywork and headlight, sculpted tank, wire spoked wheels, with wide rear wheel and that all important hard tail look.
An all-new chassis, suspension and frame deliver a supremely confident, dynamic and comfortable category defining ride. With an innovative elegantly engineered adjustable seat and clock position to suit the rider and riding style. The stunning 'swing cage' hard tail set-up and hidden mono-shock suspension make the bobber as dynamic and thrilling to ride as it is to look at.
All electronic components are hidden from view so as not to compromise its clean lines. Rider focused technology and the signature Bonnie straight-line 'hidden cat box' exhaust run, are all neatly incorporated without interfering with the Bobber's stunning looks.
At the heart of the Bobber is a category-leading, high-torque Bonneville 1200cc engine with a dedicated Bobber tune for even more torque and power low down and twin slash cut sawn off peashooter silencers and unique twin airbox and filters to surround the rider in a pure Bonneville hot rod sound.
The Bonneville Bobber has over 150 additional accessories available to enhance its beauty further and make it truly unique.

ActiveCampaign Integration
Paul Battaglia shared this idea 2 years ago
Under Consideration
I would like to use the marketing automation feature of ActiveCampaign to initiate an onboarding process for new clients, or after signup or renewal of services. The integration would allow for adding to a list, setting tags to help in this feature. The integration with Zapier is rubbish.

Most of us don't have any brain cells to spare come December. Too often getting all those gifts covered up becomes one more thing on the never ending to-do list.
|{clearance paper picked up at Target after xmas last year}
But sometimes you find yourself deep in the darkest forest of life from which it seems there is no escape. And the only respite you have, aside from newly discovered Trader Joe candy cane Jo-Jo's, is to create little packages of happiness to remind you that there is still some joy to be found. Right below the unicorn.
Isn't that always the way?
|{easy loopy paper bow directions here}
"What kind of monster are you?"
Yellow construction paper, and some freehanded black pieces.
You know what else is great for coping with unfixable trials in life? Bingewatching Bob's Burgers.
|{To get Louise so big, she got cropped in two and printed on cardstock full page. They're cut out and glued together right on the neck of her dress. No seams and perfectly popping out ears.}
We talked about my love for half and half wrapping years ago. This time instead of covering where they meet in the middle with pretty ribbon, a strip of black paper does the job.
|"I wanna be the very best..."
Recycled calendar pages get some Christmas Cheer topped with jingle bells. As a general rule of thumb, if you present makes noise when you shake it, nobody will notice that your yarn doesn't perfectly match the forest green in the plaid paper. Seriously people - relax already.
And lastly we have the second most popular animal associated with Christmas {right behind the unicorn}: the octopus. I am kicking myself for not gluing googly eyes on this. Rookie mistake.
From the Wisor home to yours, we wish you a season filled with much happiness, joy, and family togetherness. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

While I too was perturbed by the Israeli Ministry of Absorption's billion-dollar ad campaign that has caused a huge media storm in recent days, I feel the need to write my feelings on a specific response to the campaign in Tablet Magazine written by one of its senior writers, Israeli expat Liel Leibovitz along with partner Lisa Ann Sandell, an American Jew. As a couple deeply connected to the Jewish community and to Israel, they are open about their grappling with the country as a possible home for their family and conclude that until Israel is more inclusive and representative of their beliefs, they cannot and will not call it home:
Often, we feel real remorse for abandoning this struggle we believe is so important, the struggle for Israel's soul. Often, we feel as if we should brave the hurdles and the insults and jump back into the fray. But time, parenthood, and an Israeli government that seems dedicated to dismissing families like ours and driving American and Israeli Jews apart have all weakened our resolve. We cherish our family's Jewish identity and our community, as do most American Jews we know. But our Jewish identities, and our sense of peoplehood, are based on inclusion—not exclusion and condescension. As long as Israel refuses to acknowledge this basic premise about the nature of Jewish peoplehood, we can't call the Jewish state home.
They admit that they are "abandoning a struggle" that is important to them, but qualify their checking out with the fact that Israel is increasingly exclusive. The problem is that they are knowingly excluding themselves from participation because the problems seem so overwhelmingly colossal. While I understand their frustration, the attitude they express is defeatist – similar to a sports fan who stops supporting his beloved team when it seems to be on a clear path of failure.
They have every right to do so – I am not judging that decision, especially since I do not have children and don't know what that feels like. I certainly do not think every Jew must live in Israel to fulfill their Judaism by any means. But when they say that "as long as Israel refuses to acknowledge this basic premise about the nature of Jewish peoplehood, we can't call the Jewish state home" they demonstrate a clear disassociation that they have chosen to take from Israeli society.
After all, what "Israel" are they talking about? Israel the government? Israel as expressed by the Ministry of Absorption? Israel the concept of a Jewish state? Israel the public? They too, are a part of Israel, even the increasingly anti-democratic, consistently violent and socially inequitable Israel of 2011. And what do they mean, "as long as Israel refuses to…"? Who will be able to make a difference in what Israel refuses or agrees to do if not the very people who are affected by it, and in turn assume ownership over it? Who is going to change Israel, if not people like them? I agree with the sentiment that Israel is exclusive and problematic, but I do not want to and cannot wait around for it to get better. One cannot choose to be associated with Israel when the situation appears more socially just and completely detach when the situation is dire and embarrassing.
I am myself the product of a strong Israeli and Zionist upbringing in the US that the government should be very pleased with, despite having become a lefty activist. Although my mother left Israel, her entire family lives in Israel – third generation Israelis originally from Russia. She imparted me with an Israeli identity in the middle of New York City, speaking only in Hebrew to me, taking me to Israel every summer, singing me the songs and reading me the literature of Israel. While I have the choice to live outside Israel, I made a conscious decision to live here and ultimately that decision has become a way of life. I feel that there is no other place I call home, no matter how f-ed up it might be.
This means for me that I have assumed ownership of my identity and have a stake in this place. Whatever happens here affects me and I affect it. Even when I have spent time away from Israel and even if I do again in the future, this is the place I feel connected to, the place I ultimately come back to, the place where I want to affect change, where my lifestyle and values are expressed. It is not something I can switch on and off.
I agree with Yossi Gurvitz's post that the ad campaign merely represents a fundamental pillar of Zionist ideology — that all Jews should equate their religious identity with a civilian one — and thus should not come as a surprise to American Jews. Zionism is indeed exclusivist and all Jews need to realize that. But Israel is a country and that is a reality. There are those who were born in Israel with no other passport and no other place to call home. There are those, like me, who have another passport and another place to call home, but for various personal reasons, have found their home here. There is no right or wrong here. But there is a difference between those who feel rooted in this place, for better or worse, and those that do not. This is not about whether one is a Zionist or not, or believing in one state or two – rather it is about the reality of one's cultural and social reality and what one chooses to do with it.
The ones who feel rooted here cannot afford to refuse to call Israel home until it embodies their ideals -rather they are already here (whether physically or emotionally) embodying those ideals every day in whatever way they see fit. They will not wait around for Israel to get better and cannot disassociate from it until it does. It is their reality, and that in and of itself makes Israel a very different place than the Israel that many are disillusioned with.

This is my first ever entry in Maylands! That's because there's never been really great vego options in the area, though, so I'm super excited that I can make this post!
This afternoon I met my cousin near his house and we ventured in the rain to the Little Shop of Plenty, this lovely-sized cafe on Railway Parade directly opposite from Maylands station.
I also drank a beautiful almond matcha latte ($6.50, I'm in Perth, that's totally reasonable). I don't think they were using a whisk, but it still had a beautiful smooth flavour.
The staff was really lovely and friendly and delightful; the cafe sells metal and glass straws about which I am chuffed; and I will definitely meander back through on my visits to Perth.

Instead of appearing in a soup, squash gets cut into rings, caramelized and baked in a tart that can be served with a salad as a starter, or as an unusual side dish. Plus: Ultimate Thanksgiving Guide Plus: More Vegetable Recipes and Tips
How to Make It
In a small bowl, beat 1 of the eggs. Cut the puff pastry in half crosswise. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 piece of puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Cut a 1/2-inch strip from each edge of the pastry. Brush the edge of the pastry square with some of the beaten egg. Place the strips around the edge to make a raised border. Chill for 30 minutes. Repeat with the second piece of puff pastry.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°. Using a large, sharp knife, cut off the ends of the squash until you reach the seeds. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Carefully slice the acorn squash crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rings. Arrange the rings on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Mix 2 teaspoons of the olive oil with the butter and honey and brush on the squash rings; season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the rings are browned on the bottom. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta with the remaining egg and the heavy cream. Season with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous pinch of pepper. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the shallots and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in the sugar.
Brush the raised pastry borders with some of the beaten egg. Spread the ricotta filling in the pastry squares. Arrange the squash rings on top, browned sides up. Scatter the shallots over the tarts and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Sprinkle the tarts with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve warm.

I came out from putting the littles to bed to find Tuna running out of my room looking guilty. He said he left something for me to solve. Uhhh, anyone? Runes? Gah, my kid is smarter than I am.
Me: "I don't know this code. Runes?"
Tuna shakes his head, smacks his forehead, "You don't know your history, do you?"
Me: "I know quite a bit of history, just not this code." (little punk)
Tuna: "Ok, here's another hint: think Free Masons. You need to look it up and learn it. Then we can leave each other notes.
Wtf? Because it's too easy to just write notes in English? And why/where is he learning codes from the Free Masons? I mean, I agree that they're fascinating (in fact, we had a conversation a while ago about them); but seriously? Can't we just do something relatively normal around here? (Stupid question, duh!) This kid…
He came back in a while later ( he's supposed to be in his freaking bed), and asked if I solved it. NO! No, I haven't solved it. I had said I'd put it on hold. I have homework (and now a blegh post) to do. GO TO BED.
I know I did stuff like this as a kid. I absolutely love it that he is interested in stuff like this (he is obsessed with history, especially ancient Egypt). I will learn the darn code and write him maybe one reply, and then we can do the cute note thing with actual words. I get it, he doesn't want Binker reading our notes. But maybe cursive will do for a while??
I love that kid. And, wtf? And, what the hell does pig pen have to do with the Free Masons?
And he's the one smacking his forehead.
*Apparently there is a code called a pigpen cipher. Apparently other people know this. Apparently I didn't.
