On a sunny Friday afternoon on August 9th, 2013, the UC Berkeley iGEM team went to visit the Advanced Biofuels Process Demonstration Unit (ABPDU) located in Emeryville, California. The ABPDU is a 15,000 square-foot state-of-the art facility affiliated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and it is designed to help expedite the commercialization of advanced next-generation biofuels by providing industry-scale test beds for discoveries made in the laboratory.
The ABPDU works closely with DOE’s Bioenergy Research Centers, including the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) located just a floor above. One of the missions of these research centers is to see that scientific advances are translated into commercially viable technologies.
And ABPDU is the fully equipped facility to bridge the gap between laboratory and marketplace, allowing researchers to be better informed of the bottlenecks in the translation of their work into impact on the real world problem.
Excited to see how the facility works, the UC Berkeley iGEM team put on their laboratory safety goggles and followed Dr. Baez into the heart of ABPDU.
First, we saw several reactors to perform pretreatment of biomass such as grass, wood, and agricultural residues. Pretreatment of biomass breaks down the “shields” formed by ligin and hemicellulose, thus reducing the degree of polymerization to faciliate rapid and efficient downstream processes.
Next to the reactors for pretreament of biomass, we saw small reactors used for enzymatic saccharification. Saccharification is literally the process of making sugar from starch reserves. As undergraduate researchers used to laboratory scale experiments where five microliters of enzyme is a lot, we were quite impressed with the scale that ABPDU worked on.
Needless to say, the UC Berkeley iGEM team was soon then awestruck to see ABPDU’s bioreactors, which have the capacity to grow bacteria, fungi and yeast up to 300-liters. The bioreactors were equipped with advanced control systems for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and other process conditions.
Finally, the team was quite happy to see some familiar equipments for enzyme purification at ABPDU, such as a high-throughput centrifuge, a large column chromatography system for enzyme separation and purification, and protein analysis equipments such as the HPLC and gas mass spectroscopy.
From this educational field trip to ABPDU, we learned how the facility provided material and energy balance data to help develop parameters for expansion from pilot to commercial scale production.
Now, it was our turn to vision the large-scale biosynthetic and dyeing process of indigo…
*The UC Berkeley iGEM team would like to thank Dr. Julio A. Baez for the wonderful and detailed tour of the Advanced Biofuels Process Demonstration Unit (ABPDU).

Vision for Large-scale Biosynthesis and Dyeing of Indigo
From what we learned from Dr. Baez of ABPDU, we began to think about how we could potentially scale-up the biosynthetic and dyeing process of indigo.
Above is a schematic diagram that we envision the large scale biosynthetic and dyeing process of indigo. On the left, we have a fermentor that will cultivate E. coli that is engineered to produce indican via enzymes FMO and GT. These E. coli will be supplied with compressed and filtered oxygen and premixed nutrients, including tryptophan, which is the starting material for biosynthetically-produced indigo. The agitator will be used to distribute oxygen throughout the fermentor. The temperature control jacket around the fermentor will circulate water around to keep the temperature of the reactor at 37 degrees Celsius.
After E. coli has been fully grown after around 18 hours, the culture will be transferred to a holding tank so that the fermentor can be cleaned and prepared for the next cycle of growth. The volume of the culture will be reduced to about 25 percent by centrifugation, at which point the cells will be homogenized then collected in a vat. The vat will thus contain a heterogenous solution of E. coli, which includes indican.
On the right, we have another fermentor that will cultivate E. coli that is engineered to produce secreted B-glucosidase. Similarly to the first fermentor, the bacteria will be supplied with water and premixed nutrients, but does not necessarily need tryptophan. After around 18-hours of growth, secreted B-glucosidase can go through a simple purification procedure and into a vat.
Utilizing this scheme, one could dye jean by dipping cotton first into a vat of indican, then into a vat of B-glucosidase. For darker shades of blue, one could simply repeat the dipping procedure several times.
Based on the indigo titer we obtained (~200 mg/L), it is not yet feasible to meet the demand of 40,000 tons of indigo per year or compete with the price of chemically synthesized indigo (~ $5.00/kg of Indigo) at the moment. However, biosynthesis and dyeing of indigo may be more promising by using a strain of E. coli that is engineered to overproduce the amino acid tryptophan. Not only will this reduce the cost-limiting reagent (i.e. tryptophan) in our current scheme of our biosynthetic pathway, it can also greatly increase the indigo titer based on our experimental data that indigo titer is strongly dependent on that amino acid. Thankfully, this next step may not be too far away as researchers have already started to engineer strains of E. coli that can overproduce L-tryptophan.
Finally, our proposed biosynthesis and dyeing of indigo has advantages over the current industrial process of producing and dyeing indigo in at least two respects: (1) First, our pathway is not dependent on petroleum based chemicals and the hazardous agents required to work with them, all of which are necessary for the current chemical synthesis of indigo, and (2) second, our pathway simplifies the current dyeing process of indigo by avoiding making indigo first then reducing it into a soluble form, instead we produce stable, soluble indican that can be uncaged into indigo.

Four-year-old Tharnicaa Murugappan, whose Tamil asylum-seeker family is anxious to be allowed to return to their adopted hometown of Biloela in Queensland, has been released from hospital.
The young girl has been discharged from Perth Children’s Hospital almost two weeks after being medically evacuated from Christmas Island with a blood infection caused by untreated pneumonia.
However health officials say she will require eight weeks of ongoing specialist care.

In the meantime, the Murugappan family will be held in a community detention residence in Perth.
Father Nades, mother Priya and Australian-born Tharnicaa and her sister, Kopika, have been locked up for more than three years while their fight against deportation has gone through the courts.
During this time, a national campaign for their release has grown ever louder.
The family was reunited last week. Credit: @HometoBilo /Twitter

Advocates for the family say Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision to transfer them to Perth from Christmas Island, where they had been for about two years, makes no improvement to their situation, as they remain in community detention.
Protests were staged across Australia on Saturday calling for them to be allowed to return to Biloela.
It is understood the family is not able to stay elsewhere other than the Perth residence. Nor can visitors spend the night, and neither parent is permitted to work.
A statement released on behalf of the family on Sunday said they were relieved to be out of immigration detention.

However mum Priya is “anxious to now be forced into a new form of detention and very stressed to not know what is going to happen to her family” after Tharnicaa’s treatment is finished.
“Thank you to the doctors who take care of Tharnicaa in hospital,” she was quoted as saying.
“We hope soon she is much better.
“Please, we want (to) go back to Bilo. We (are) safe in Bilo. My husband (can) work. My daughters have friends. Bilo is home.”
An open letter by 26 Australian Anglican bishops on Friday has implored the government to grant the family visas, giving them the chance to rebuild their lives.

Recycled reclaimed teak furniture has many benefits that come with it, which is why it is so high in demand. People across the world have opted to use it as their primary choice for outdoor furniture, and for good reasons too. It is a beautiful addition to any property, such as a house, hotel, pub, restaurant, or bar which has an outdoor area and serves well in its functionality and purpose. During the summer, people love to meet up together and sit outside in the sun, soaking up the rays and having a good time. This is where reclaimed teak furniture comes into play. Out of all the different materials available to make furniture out of, it has become one of the most popular and in-demand materials to date and has been crafted into many things, especially furniture.
It can be consistently recycled into different pieces, and this is part of what makes it so good.
Here are some of the advantages of using recycled reclaimed teak furniture.
It is eco-friendly and sustainable
Reclaimed teak furniture is made of natural wood, which makes it very renewable. Although it is harvested, it can be reused and made into new types of furniture, making it renewable and reusable. By not having to cut down more and more trees for wood, it is an environmentally friendly option.
This is especially important as many trees nowadays are being over-harvested, making them environmentally endangered. This is bad for the environment, and they must be protected. By using renewable and recyclable reclaimed teak, you are helping the environmental cause.
It is durable and strong
Reclaimed teak furniture is known to be very durable and strong, and therefore makes a perfect addition for outdoor environments due to its durable characteristics. It has known properties in its material that make it resistant to wetness. Where other outdoor furniture would start to change shape or deteriorate due to wet weather, reclaimed teak furniture is not affected by this, meaning that it can stay outside and have no issues at all regardless of the weather. It is also unaffected by direct sunlight. While many other types of materials will bleach and become brittle and weak in sunlight over time, it does not have this problem and can maintain its structural integrity. For those looking for the perfect type of outdoor seating, reclaimed teak furniture is perfect due to its natural strength and durability, regardless of the environment it is placed in.
It looks great
Reclaimed teak furniture has a nice aesthetic to it, and gives of a natural and organic vibe that works well as outdoor seating. It can blend in well and accentuate a garden or back area of a house, due to its look. When it has been in the sun for some time, it turns into a more natural looking colour, rather than turning into a bleached colour like many other hardwood products.
If you do not want the colour to change, reclaimed teak furniture can be oiled to keep its original colour year round, regardless of sunlight exposure.
In summary, reclaimed teak furniture is a great choice for seating, due to its strength and durability regardless of the environment it is in, it is sustainable and environmentally friendly and it looks great.

The barn is full of boarders and you have a waiting list. With all the stalls full, you realize you need to hire help to care for all the horses on the property, as well as the property itself. Once you’ve made the decision to hire, you’ll need to establish the rate of pay. Should you offer minimum wage or a higher rate of pay?
Whether you’ve grown slowly or planned an expansion, you know profits on boarding services alone are small. It’s tempting to offer the lowest wage possible, but keep in mind “you’ll get what you pay for.” And if you are going from you doing all the work (to your high standards), can you actually get someone to work to your standards at minimum wage?
The first step to determining what to pay an employee is to consider what you’d like that employee to do. Will he/she fill water buckets, carry hay or clean paddocks? These tasks require little to no expertise, and on-the-job training can provide the necessary skillset. An individual hired for this type of position might be a minimum wage employee.
However, if you are looking for someone who can handle horses, groom and tack up, identify when a horse is “off,” prepare feed or run the facility in your absence, think long and hard about the wage offered.
“You don’t have to pay every staff member the same wage,” said Deb Best, owner of Deb Best Practices. “Wages can differ based on an individual’s years of experience and knowledge.”
It might make sense to hire a laborer at minimum wage to perform less-skilled tasks and leave you free to handle the horse-related jobs. On the other hand, you must expect to pay higher compensation for experienced people.
“If you’re not paying them a living wage and they are good at what they do, they will quickly get a job somewhere else,” Best added.
So the first step before you hire someone is to determine what jobs you don’t want to do any more, or don’t have time to do. The next step is to create a job description so that you and the persons you are interviewing know what is expected of them. You will have different legal needs whether you are hiring a farm laborer, groom or trainer. Talk to your attorney and have written agreements when necessary (i.e., a trainer is using your facility and is on your payroll versus an outside trainer that just pays you a percentage of each lesson taught at your facility).
Know the laws in your state that determine whether you have employees or contract laborers. (See Before You Hire Know Whether You Are Getting Employees or Contractors.) You also might want to read Hiring Horse Farm Employees to learn more about the paperwork required.
Offering a fair wage is important in attracting the right employee for your stable. But before you hire someone, make sure you both know what the tasks are for that job, what the time commitment is, whether there is travel, evenings or weekend work involved, and so on.
Offering a fair wage is more than attracting an employee, it’s also about retaining the employee. Boarders appreciate consistency and will take comfort in knowing that you hired the right person and that he/she is qualified to care for their horse.

1. Please be courteous at all times. If you’re engaged in any kind of discussion, be as prepared to listen as you are to express yourself. Remember that there’s always a real person behind a computer/device screen, and they are likely quite different from you.
2. Think twice before posting anything that’s likely to give offence or be inflammatory. That doesn’t promote good conversation. If you’re upset at something you see here, perhaps let a little time pass before responding. Bear in mind this isn’t a space to vent our views, it’s about exploring respectfully with others what it means to be a Buddhist within our community and in the modern world generally.
3. We may remove posts or comments that are considered off-topic.
4. Everyone has off-moments, and we’ll always try to be in friendly dialogue with you if a problem arises with one of your contributions. But we reserve the right to remove posts and comments (or even suspend user accounts) when we feel these guidelines are not observed.
5. Our current editorial policy around Safeguarding is aligned with the advice given by those tasked with developing Triratna’s approach to this important area of ethical life. If anyone breaches current policy by posting in ways that mean The Buddhist Centre Online potentially break the law by hosting the material, then we will have to remove their posts or comments. We respectfully request that all users bear this in mind when posting. If in doubt, please feel free to ask first before posting. It will save time, energy, and lead to less potential polarisation in these spaces, even if there is disagreement.
Whatever you contribute we very much encourage you to think about it in the light of the Buddhist ethical precepts around 'Right Speech'. These encourage communication that is: truthful, kindly and gracious, helpful and harmonious. We look forward to all you have to bring to the site!
Moderation
We try to keep things light when it comes to moderation of posts and comments within this shared space. And we ask the community itself to lead with this. If you have seen something that concerns you, please feel free to contact us. However, we do ask that you bear in mind the following guidelines, which will help preserve a harmonious atmosphere throughout the site:
Remember there is always a person behind the post or comment you’re objecting to. They may just be having a bad day… If you’re upset, perhaps let a little time pass before responding to them or us. Try contacting the person first in a spirit of open, courteous engagement to see if hearing their perspective changes your own view of things, or if hearing yours changes theirs. Take care to make sure what you are asking us to look at is actually against the spirit of the group or the site itself, rather than simply a difference of view or of personal taste. If in doubt, ask a friend and/or the administrator of the group.
The most important things about this is the first bit: we ask the community to lead with this. That means you! Thanks for helping us promote good conversations on The Buddhist Centre Online.

The division went 3-1 collectively in week 7, as fans saw an ugly battle between rivals while two Northern teams exerted their might on the NFC West.

The NFC North finished Week 7 with a combined 3-1 record, with the only loss coming in a divisional battle on Monday night. The NFC West, which has been highly talked up in recent weeks, saw two of its members fall to Black and Blue Division members.
Green Bay Packers 30, @ St. Louis Rams 20
The Packers' passing game was clicking for the second straight week, and the defense allowed a late touchdown to make the game seem less lopsided than it actually was.
@ Minnesota Vikings 21, Arizona Cardinals 14
This game was a fascinating look at how a strong defense and running game can still win games in today's NFL. Christian Ponder, fresh off a 50-attempt game in Washington, went 8 for 17 for 58 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions; however, the Vikings still managed to pull out a win against Arizona. The Cardinals even out-gained the Vikings by nearly 150 total yards, but an interception return for a score by safety Harrison Smith proved to be the final margin of victory.
Adrian Peterson had a great day running the ball, with 23 attempts for 153 yards and a score. The Vikings' defense, while allowing a substantial amount of yardage, came up big with that key interception and forced a second turnover from John Skelton on a fumble, all while sacking Skelton seven times. Brian Robison was one of the stars of the game, with three sacks and that forced fumble.
@ Chicago Bears 13, Detroit Lions 7
This one looked like it would be a runaway win for the Bears early, as Matt Forte broke off a big run on the Bears' opening drive and Jay Cutler connected with Brandon Marshall for a short touchdown. However, the Lions defense clamped down after that drive, recording five sacks and briefly knocking Cutler out of the game.
The Lions couldn't break into the end zone though, as they turned the ball over three times in the red zone. Mikel LeShoure fumbled once, Joique Bell lost the ball while trying to stretch the football over the goal line, and Matthew Stafford threw an interception on fourth and goal from the three. Those mistakes allowed the Bears lead to hold up, as the Lions scored their lone touchdown with only 30 seconds remaining.
After seven weeks, the divisional standings sit as follows:
Team W L T
Chicago Bears 5 1 0
Minnesota Vikings 5 2 0
Green Bay Packers 4 3 0
Detroit Lions 2 4 0

Josh LeMay: Steel Panther fans are music lovers, through and through. The band, Steel Panther, is so talented and, like, players … And we grew up being players. So, it’s cool to be out with guys that are, you know, kind of pushing you to be better every single night. So, we’ve really had to bring it every single night, because otherwise they’ll see through it pretty quick. So, that’s how we kind of relate.
And then, it just happened that our manager kind of talked to their manager and was just like, “Hey, what do you think about these guys?” And we had met Steel Panther prior to at Oklahoma or Rocklahoma? The big festival. And it just kind of worked out. It was great. We’re happy to be out here.
Antihero: And talking about festivals, you guys are actually playing Carolina Rebellion in a couple weeks.
Josh LeMay: We are.
Antihero: The tour’s winding down and you’re coming back to North Carolina. How’s that feel for you to be playing at a big festival like that?
Josh LeMay: So, we did Rock on the Range, we did Rocklahoma, and those were great. I’m telling you right now, between Greensboro, now Raleigh, that we’ve been to and now we’re going to play Charlotte obviously tonight. North Carolina, you guys are a hell of a rock state. Like you guys … the fans here are awesome. Yeah, I love it. I think it’s going to be good. I mean, I tweeted something out the other day that, like, as we’re driving through the state, like, the Rebellion’s in the air here. Like, you can feel it. You can feel how close, like, when we played Raleigh like people were mentioning it and talking about it like already. So, it’s … We know it’s coming and we’re ready.
Antihero: You guys just released an album last year. That was your debut. You had a couple EPs before that. Tell me a little bit about the success of the album and how it’s put you guys out there up on the main stage a little bit more.
Josh LeMay: You know, it’s crazy dude. We … Like I said, we grew up playing music. Sammy said it best one time, like, he said, “We’ve been waiting out entire lives to release our first record.” And it came out and all of a sudden, you know, we go from sitting on our hands and waiting and waiting and waiting as a kid growing up and working at it doesn’t ever seem like it’s going to happen. And then when it does happen, it just, like, it goes. You’re just … We’re just on the road and doing it every single night which is all we’ve ever wanted to do. So, it feels amazing. I haven’t even … I’ll let you know when it clicks.
Sam Collins: It’s also funny because I’m the last person to join. Like, I joined like a year and a half ago and so I kind of walked in on this whole process going on. Like, I didn’t know how I would end up getting to this point either. But, it just worked out and it’s even more surreal for me I feel like just cause, you know
Josh LeMay: Yeah, it’s real for a bunch of different reasons, but yeah. I mean, this record we wrote over a long period of time and we wrote it a while ago. And it was just a chapter of our lives at that point and now we’ve gone from writing a record at home, you know, going to work every day, trying to just, like, you know … All that work was just to come out here and do this and now we get to live it every single day. So, it’s crazy.
Antihero: As up-and-comers breaking into the scene with the state that the rock music genre is in right now, how tough has it been for you guys to break through?
Josh LeMay: I don’t know. That’s a good question. I mean, I think being different is just kind of in our nature. Just in general. You know, we’re … Constantly, we’re always kind of paying attention to our surroundings and whatnot, and we’re just weird dudes, I think. We’re just pretty weird guys. So, I think it’s kind of interesting how that plays into, like, the music and how that plays into how, whether or not we fit in or not. You know? I mean, everyone’s playing music and we’re all out here trying to do the same job, so…
Sam Collins: It’s also interesting, now that the songs are out, so people are hearing them. We get to see so many more reactions from people. It’s just interesting to see what kind of music is really going to reach out to people and we’re seeing, you know, we’ve had the chance to tour with so many bands and see what they do to interact with their fans. And, I don’t know, it’s always like a learning process to just fit in and do what we can.
Antihero: You guys recently released a video with an orchestra. Something totally different. What lead you guys to want to do something like that?
Josh LeMay: It was crazy, yeah.
John Dudley: We had a couple songs that had, like, big massive choirs on the them. You know, on the album. We were kind of just sitting around, throwing around the idea of doing that, alone, with the choir, and then I guess along with that idea came the whole orchestra thing and Josh got on the phone and made it happen.
Josh LeMay: Yeah. We started doing some, just, over the years being in Detroit, you know, it’s kind of a tight niche music, you now, market, you know, kind of place, so eventually you’ll rub elbows with somebody who knows somebody who know somebody. And we just started … I mean, we literally came up with the idea in early December and 30 days later we were doing it in a giant warehouse at Thunder Audio in Detroit. It was just like … It was the longest day ever. Like, it just … Ridiculous. But, by the end of it, like, it was weird. We were moving so fast I think we got a chance to capture lightning in a bottle. I think if we had time to think about it more it would have been overwhelming because it was overwhelming.
Antihero: As newer band, what music kind of inspired your sound?
Josh LeMay: Dude, we’re kind of old school dudes. I mean, our dads grew up playing music, our grandpas grew up playing music and, I mean, like for me personally, when I grew up and that’s how we kind of … We bonded right away from a band called King’s X. Which was, you know, they started in actually ’89 or something like that, but in the early ’90s, you know growing up, they were a three-piece band and just bad ass. I mean, just ridiculous players, singer’s unbelievable. So, that was, like, one of mine right off the bat. But, I mean, Stone Temple Pilots, Sound Garden, Van Halen, Sabbath, I mean… Zeppelin. You know, newer stuff, I remember us 14 years old and that Alter Bridge album came out with Myles Kennedy and, at 14, I heard that voice and I was like … I got to do that.
Antihero: You guys had a lot of success off the album. Any plans on going back into the studio any time soon?
Josh LeMay: We’ve actually already been back in doing some stuff. And already kind of starting. We’re underway. So, yeah. I mean, the sooner the better, man. We’re ready to get back in and do it. This is fun. So, it’s kind of hard to, you know, say, “Okay. We’re going to stop and go sit indoors for three months and make a new record.” You know, but I think it’s probably time. I think we’re ready to go.

Recognizing the value of a wide range of expertise and experience in building its decision-support capacity, USGCRP has built engagement into the sustained-assessment process at multiple levels. Public comment periods, town-hall events, and calls for technical contributions encourage input from state, local, and tribal governments; academic institutions; the private sector; and the interested public. NCAnet, a network of organizations involved in the National Climate Assessment (NCA) and its communication, has grown to include more than 180 organizations and played an important role in the release of the interagency assessment report The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States (Highlight 15). Supporting groups such as Resilience AmeriCorps and Climate Action Champions help connect USGCRP science with practitioners making adaptation and mitigation choices. The information exchanged through these interactions is helping USGCRP develop more relevant and more useful scientific products.
A better understanding of the needs of USGCRP stakeholders helps ensure that the scientific products USGCRP provides are clear, topical, and applicable to the specific needs of users at multiple levels. As USGRCP looks ahead, the information gained from engagement activities will help shape the future of the Program. NOAA, on USGCRP’s behalf, has convened a 15-member Federal Advisory Committee (FAC) to advise the sustained-assessment process on enhancing engagement with stakeholders, assessment activities, and the quadrennial NCA report. FAC members are strategic thought leaders with expertise in science, communications, engagement, and education, and will advise USGCRP on how to make the sustained-assessment process and products more useful to USGCRP stakeholders, as well as to connect the Program to new groups that would not be reached otherwise.

Karate is dangerous so proper observance of etiquette is as important to our training as is learning the physical techniques of karate. Please follow the etiquette below at all Canada Shotokan Karate (CSK) dojos:
Remove your shoes before entering the dojo.
Bow each time you enter or leave the dojo.
Try not to be late for class. If you are late, enter the dojo quietly and wait at the back of the class until the instructor asks you to join the practice. You should then bow and join the class.
The dojo is a formal place where all participants must wear a gi (a plain white karate uniform). Wash your gi regularly and keep it in good condition.
Remove your watch and all jewelry before practice to avoid injury to you and others.
Keep your finger and toe nails cut short to avoid injury to others. Maintaining personal cleanliness is an act of consideration and respect for yourself and others.
No food or beverages are permitted in the dojo during practice.
Do not lean against the walls or sprawl with your legs stretched out. Kneel or sit cross-legged.
No unnecessary talking during practice.
Never leave the dojo without permission.
Report all injuries to the instructor before leaving.
Help clean the dojo before practice. “Polishing the floor is in fact the art of polishing your own mind.” – Ohshima Sensei
Respect all dojo equipment such as kicking shields and focus mitts. They should always be neatly put away and should never be thrown around.
Pay your dojo dues – if you are unable to pay your dues on time, talk with the person in charge of dues collection.

There are millions of poor children in this world - and there are tousands of NGOs trying to help some of them ...
What I am trying, is just "a drop in the ocean" - or at least some drops.
But for the individual child whose schooling has been paid, or whose crippled leg or burnt hand has been saved - or at least: improved a bit by some surgery - it's not a "drop": For him or her it might be half of her life ...
I started as a "Traveller" with very little money, to feed some kids some times. Later on I was employed as a tour guide for 15 years, and mostly touring Asia. In my free time (between the groups) I started at first to care for street children; later on shifting to children who stayed with their parents, but who could not afford the schooling or any medicines...
At first I spent very little money on this - I did not have much myself. But just by the attendance of a foreigner, the treatment in the nearly-free government hospital improves - gets better than what the "dirty street child" would have gotten, going there by himself...
...

Kids and Pets: 4 Tips to Keep Interactions Safe and Fun
Children definitely have an affinity for animals and everything that comes with them—bring on the hair, dirt, bugs, and grime. But, while pets and kids go hand in hand, certain safety implications should not be taken lightly. Read on for a list of tips on how to keep kids and pets safe without spoiling their fun.
1. Keep it clean!
Kids love to explore, often with their hands and mouths, which can be problematic when it comes to cages or enclosures, pet excrement, and potential parasites.
Pick up and dispose of pet feces immediately. Teach children the importance of good hygiene. Parasites and their eggs can be passed through the feces of dogs, cats, and other animals, putting kids at risk if ingested.
Litter boxes are especially enticing to small children, as they are similar to sandboxes. If possible, choose a covered litter box for your feline friend.
Cages and other enclosures can be breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi if not routinely cleaned and sanitized. But, do not let a small child do the cleaning. Rather, have your child help by creating a schedule or checklist and reminding an adult when cages are due to be cleaned.
Check both kids and pets daily for ticks or other ectoparasites, which should be properly removed and contained. Then, research and identify them with your child. Check out our post on Lyme disease for more information and instructions on removing ticks from your pets. Consult with a pediatrician if you find any parasites on your child.
2. Don’t touch!
Like our kids, our pets need medications from time to time. Sometimes these medications are topical, which means our kids may be exposed to them. Secure all pet medications, just as you do with the human ones.
Although topicals and collar-type flea and tick preventives can be used safely, one alternative to using these products is a chewable form. Our veterinary team can help you choose the right product for your pet.
Minimize your child’s potential exposure to your pet’s topical medications by distracting both pet and child with a romp in the yard or a game of fetch for a few minutes after applying the cream or spray.
3. Heads up!
More often than not, kids and pets will need supervision. Ensure that an adult is overseeing any child-animal interactions, especially in the following scenarios:
A body of water is nearby — Kids naturally follow their pets, and if Fido is bounding toward the pool or neighborhood pond, chances are his two-legged companion isn’t far behind. Make certain that your family establishes a water safety protocol.
Very young children are involved — Young children do not understand that when they hit or throw things at others, it hurts. Keep these interactions safe and fun with gentle instruction on how to approach and handle pets. Reward your pet during this process to encourage a positive association with your child.
Small animals are involved — Toy-breed dogs, such as teacup Chihuahuas, and other tiny animals are fragile and susceptible to serious injuries. Teach your children early on that small animals are delicate. Ask your child for examples of other delicate items around the house, such as flowers or items made of glass, and demonstrate how they should be handled.
4. Achoo!
For some children, living with pets can cause allergies, often due to dander from the skin or saliva. Unfortunately, no pet is 100% “hypoallergenic,” but allergic reactions in people can be minimized.
Keep your pet properly bathed and groomed. Make bathing him a fun outdoor activity with the children, weather permitting. Have your child make a grooming schedule with reminders that your pet is due for a bath. Certain medicated shampoos may also lessen the chance of allergies.
The child-animal bond is unique and endearing, and we believe in fostering these special relationships in the safest ways possible. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions regarding child and pet safety.

Septe hospital. When you get here, please call from the parking lot to let us know you are here. We will follow up with a few questions and further instructions on whether or how you may enter with your pet. For clients who arrive with children or dependent adults, our lobby is not an appropriate place for them to wait during your pet’s visit.
When you enter our hospital, please make sure you are wearing a well-fitting mask that covers your mouth and your nose. You will be required to wear your mask over your mouth and nose for the entirety of your time in the hospital.
For unvaccinated clients, clients who arrive with children or dependent adults, or clients who prefer not to wear a mask, our curbside protocol remains in effect: a member of our staff will meet you outside to bring your pet in while you wait outside. Once he is done with his exam, Dr. Breite will call you on your cell phone to discuss exam findings, recommendations, results and next steps as well as answer any questions you may have, and your pet will be returned to you. All dogs must be leashed and all cats must be in a carrier.
For prescription diet and medication needs, we ask that clients call ahead to make your request so that we can get your product ready and take payment over the phone. Then, when you arrive to collect it, call from the parking lot to let us know you are here. We will leave your food or medication for you outside the exit door for you to pick up.

Welcome to the 1st Anniversary edition of Quick Brown Fox! 🎉 A year ago, I sent out the first edition of QBF. It’s been an incredible journey of creative exploration since then, and I’m so glad to have had so many of you joining for the ride. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and excited to keep going!
In this edition, I reflect on a few lessons learned over a year of writing, and share some of the best work I’ve produced along the way.

Lessons Learned: A Year of Writing
I could write volumes about the different ways my writing journey has helped me, but I’ll focus on three themes: building self-awareness, quality through quantity, and cohort communities.
Building Self-Awareness
If you had asked me why I was writing when I started this journey, I probably would have told you it was about sharing ideas and improving my thinking. I had spent most of my life heads down building startups, and rarely wrote online or shared my experiences personally. My main driver was my desire to tell my story.
But a strange thing happened when I started writing. I didn’t talk about my past much, and barely mentioned my startup experiences. Instead, I used writing as a lens to process and understand what was going on in my life today. I began to use writing to build self-awareness. That has been (by far) the most valuable return from my writing. With every word I write, I hone my ability to observe my thoughts and feelings. I even learn from observing my own words. Sometimes when I look back at my own writing, it’s as if they were written by someone else. We reveal much more than we realize — there is much to learn by looking closely at our own words.
I’m thankful for this gift I have begun to give myself. I have so much more to learn.
Quality Through Quantity
I published a weekly newsletter for about 35 weeks in a row. That’s a lot! Having this outlet like that served two functions: (1) it allowed me to write often and (2) it forced me to write often. Instead of staying idle in my private notes, many of my ideas were published for the world to see in the form of newsletters, essays and notes in my digital garden. Being prolific brought my ideas to life.
I’ve also seen significant gains in the quality of my writing. In some cases it was validated by an audience, like when my polymath essay went viral on Twitter and HN. In other cases it was just something I was personally proud of — I really loved how the intro to my latest essay on the body turned out! When I contrast my writing today to a year ago, I notice a clear improvement.
It’s heartening to know that I put in the work and it has started to pay dividends. Instead of focusing too hard on specific tactics and techniques to somehow “achieve quality,” I can just focus on quantity.
All I have to do is keep writing. The rest will take care of itself.
Cohort Communities
I started my writing journey in earnest after taking a course called Write of Passage. It was a launching pad for me and I haven’t looked back since. There’s significant value in the content and instruction in the course but the biggest benefit of attending was definitely the connections I made with fellow writers. I ended up attending additional cohorts as an alum and most recently also attended the On Deck Writer program’s first cohort.
Why so many courses? There’s definitely a bit of course burnout I’ve experienced with attending so many. But these cohorts create communities that continue to be valuable much after the completion of the course. Rather than consuming knowledge in an isolated way (self-learning) or in an overly structured group setting (traditional classroom), many courses are offering a mix of self-paced content with live sessions. In particular, these formats allow you to connect directly with peers in a meaningful way (Zoom breakout rooms have been a crucial part of this formula).
I’ve come to rely on cohort peers for feedback on my writing. I don’t seek feedback on every post I publish, but I know that I have a group of folks willing to help me when I need it most. Often this feedback comes in the form of a conversation, and reminds me of the power of conversational energy. Earlier this year, I wrote an essay about the value of working in public, where I touched on the importance of connecting with others:
The longer we wait to share our work, the more disconnected we become from reality. We hide in our creative cave, sheltering our work from the very feedback it needs to improve.
I appreciate each and every one of you for helping me improve my work, and helping me overcome the hurdles to get it out into the world. I can’t thank you enough.
I’m excited to keep creating. I hope some of my work helps you do the same.
My Best Work
Here are some of the most popular pieces of work I’ve published:
Essays on my Blog
The Polymath Playbook — Modern society is designed for specialists, but there are huge benefits to taking a polymath approach to life. This essay is the story of my life and how I learned to embrace my inner polymath.
Altering Your Reality — How to stop worrying about what others think.
The Body Knows When It's Alone — After almost a year of lockdown, I grapple with the loneliness of self-quarantine. But I discover an ally in the process — my own body. It's been sending me signals to guide me all along. I finally learn how to listen.
Why Bother? — Why should we share our work with others? I found myself in a crisis of questioning: I was writing more than ever, but wasn't sure exactly why. I share the story of how I tackled this difficult question, and the answers I found in the teachings of Elizabeth Gilbert.
Notes in my Digital Garden
Writing Guide — My best writing advice. I’ve been building this guide over time and it covers a range of challenges including overcoming writer’s block, improving your craft, and evolving how you measure your writing.
Bookshelf — My favorite books. I’ve been publishing annual posts with my favorite books of the year (2017, 2018, 2019), and have been maintaining a Twitter thread of every book I’ve read in 2020. (Note: I’ll be sharing my favorite reads from 2020 in the next QBF edition!)

P.S. I finally updated my welcome email (only took me a year to get around to it!), and incorporated this list into it. If you’re writing a newsletter, I highly recommend updating your welcome email if you haven’t already. You might find this guide to welcome emails useful.
Quick Links
Brahm’s Lullaby — Sit back, relax, drop your shoulders and take a deep breath. Enjoy a few minutes of relaxation in this animated piano lullaby.
The Thief and the Cobbler — I love this restored sequence from a never-released 1992 animated film. The illustrations, the animation style, the voices, and the musical score all contribute to such an alluring vibe. I wish this movie was completed! I’d love to watch it.
Greek Quarantology — Incredibly creative illustrations of Greek mythological characters trying to survive through pandemic life. My favorite is Hermes as a Grubhub delivery guy 😅 Shoutout to Robin for sharing this with me!
I’ll leave you with these delightful little characters designed by Megan Rose. I’m in love 😍

Use Anti-Phishing Programs to Protect Yourself from Phishing - ทีเด็ดฟุตบอล5คู่

Use Anti-Phishing Programs to Protect Yourself from Phishing
Phishing is something that you really ought to be able to avoid using if you really want to, but it just so happens that every now and then you get a e-mail asking you some serious questions about your bank account and personal information and ignoring all your warnings to not reply to that e-mail.หนังใหม่ชนโรง Stranger things have happened – you’ve probably received a phishing e-mail or received a check from your bank saying that there’s something wrong with your account and you need to log onto it immediately in order to correct some errors. (This is a scam – just ignore it and log into your bank’s website if you really believe that’s the case, it is not.)
The scary part is that there are people who write viruses for the sole purpose of getting your money. They write the virus to sort of hack into your computer and give them access to your information. The longer the virus lingers on a computer before it was noticed, the more it can potentially steal your identity. It can be extremely difficult to delete a virus, and it really isn’t as simple as just deleting the file. A lot of times, viruses can actually render a computer useless, so to speak.
Luckily, there are real-time anti-virus protection programs out there (there are also web-based anti-virus programs, but we’re going to discuss those later).หนังชนโรง These anti-virus programs are going to be able to detect threats such as viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. They’re also going to be able to remove those threats from your system.
The only problem is that the threats are moving so fast that it’s difficult to keep up with. The newer types of viruses, which are called “Spyware” or “Malware”, are designed to steal information from your computer. They can track your activities online, including links you click on and things you enter into your computer. Because of these things, it’s important to simply be on your guard at all times.
Your computer is extremely valuable to hackers. Identity theft is something that you definitely want to avoid. Also, ones that cause you to have to re-format your hard drive because your computer is already infected.ดูavซับไทย These things are just a waste of both your time and your computer resources. When you get a virus, your computer is going to be affected by it, whether you realize it or not.
You can prevent your computer from getting infected by using some basic computer tools and by installing anti-virus software. Before you install your software, you’re going to want to make sure that you’ve saved your files in a safe place. That might mean that you have several important files in there that can be destroyed if a virus were to happen to strike. No matter what you do, you are going to want to make sure that you can find a back-up of your data so that if the worst happens, you can still have your data.
One of the tools that you’ll want to use is a registry cleaner. It will clean up your registry, which is the part of your computer that holds all of your settings and other computer aspects. By doing this, you will have been best able to avoid losing any important files to a virus.
When you are first infected with a virus, you might be wondering what you are going to do. The first thing that you should do is to download and install an anti-virus.หีนักศึกษา You can have the anti-virus software on your computer, or you can download and install an anti-virus CD. Either way, you should have a good amount of protection on your computer before this virus hits.
If you have an anti-virus software on your computer, you are really going to want to make sure that you keep it up-to-date. Also, when you do updates, make sure that you do them on a regular basis. Maybe once every day, if not more. That will ensure that you have the latest protection and will be prepared when the next virus comes out.
If you don’t have an anti-virus software installed on your computer, you’ll want to download some. There are actually good ones that you can buy, and the ones that I recommend will be listed on our website. Secure ones that you can trust will be listed on the website as well.
Some other good news is that if you have a brand new computer, you don’t have to worry about this virus because new viruses come out all the time.หลุดนักศึกษา However, if you’re used to using your computer every day, you may not be able to get used to new viruses very well.

Boston Wedding Photography – Shane Godfrey Photography | Reviews - Boston Wedding Photography - Shane Godfrey Photography
Pnd words from our clients
Reviews
Monica & Chris – “I looked on so many websites and through so many reviews when looking for a photographer for my wedding. We live in Los Angeles but were getting married in Boston so I had to really rely heavily on samples of work for almost every vendor. Shane’s website and pictures really stood out over all the others. His style is so beautiful and he captures moments and details in a way I didn’t see on other sites. I immediately checked his availability because I knew if I didn’t get him I’d be settling for whoever else we went with. He responded so quickly and made it very easy to start the process of booking him from so far away. He is very detail oriented and makes it so you don’t have to worry about him and his partner on the day of at all. He gets all the info he needs so that on your day he doesn’t have to ask you any questions. Actually, we had questions for him! Haha He’s obviously such a pro, he knew things we didn’t that had nothing to do with photography. He was helping us pin the ring bearers boutonniere and told me i had a loop under my dress to help hold it up before it was bustled! Basically, he makes you feel like he’s done this so many times and you don’t have to worry. His partner was also so amazing and she captured things from angles you wouldn’t even think of. Along with pictures from the entire day, she took pictures of the guys all getting ready and going to the church that came out so beautifully.
One of the most important things to me was having someone who actually knew what they were doing and could do it quickly. I’ve been working in the modeling and entertainment industry in Los Angeles for over 9 years and it’s really obvious who is an actual photographer and who just went out and bought a nice camera and decided to shoot to make some money. I’ve been to so many weddings where the photographer is constantly having to adjust the camera and re check their light etc. to a point where you start to wonder how long they’ve been shooting professionally. I can honestly say that the minute you meet Shane and he starts shooting, there’s not a doubt that he knows exactly what he’s doing. He organized the group and family photos so fast and the result was amazing. The rest of the time you hardly know he’s there. The candid pictures are like a surprise because you didn’t know they were being taken. I can’t say enough about what a pleasure it was to have him and his partner shoot the most important day of our lives together. They are both so down to earth and sweet that we wanted them to join in and celebrate with us! I would recommend him highly to anyone who was looking for the best.”
Nicole & David – “From our first Skype conversation with Shane, we had a great feeling about him. We were planning from across the country and he was more than accommodating about scheduling times to talk that would work for us. He answered our many, many questions patiently and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. It was so helpful to be able to communicate with Shane by email and I was completely confident going into our wedding day that everything related to our photography would go smoothly (which is a nice feeling when you’re unsure how everything else will go!).
From the moment Shane arrived at the hotel on our wedding day, I was beyond impressed. His attention to detail – from trimming loose threads on dresses, to giving my bridesmaids a quick tutorial on how to hold their flowers – was exceptional. The girls also had a great time with him and were talking for weeks after the wedding about how much fun they had with the photos. In addition to all of this, he still managed to keep everything running on time and everyone where they were supposed to be. Shane had a seemingly magical way of making everything just flow and was never at all intrusive (as I know some wedding photographers can be).
Now the photos themselves, of course we expected to be amazing, but they honestly went above and beyond our highest expectations. From the first glimpse we had on the digital screen on one of Shane’s cameras, we could tell they were going to be AWESOME. When the digital versions were available online just 10 DAYS after our wedding, we were blown away. Since receiving our photos, I have had countess friends, co-workers, friends of friends, …random people ask me about our photographer. It’s no wonder he books up so quickly! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for gorgeous wedding photos by a photographer who is fantastic to work with.
Finally, one of the original reasons we had chosen Shane (aside from his obvious skill and talent) was for the photo DVDs (and copyright ownership) that we got after the wedding. We knew that was a feature we wanted in a photography package and we are so glad that we found a great photographer who could provide us with that. Having our 1,000+ beautiful images available on DVD just a month after the wedding was sooo nice and I would never recommend any other way.”
Nassim & Andrew – “The best photographer!!!! We can’t rave enough about Shane! Shane truly made our wedding day! He is an amazing photographer and wonderful person. We took engagement photos with Shane and fell in love with him. Not only did he make the photo shoot completely stress free but the pictures came back quickly and were absolutely gorgeous. On the wedding day, everyone wanted to be friends with Shane and his partner Meg! He was able to fix my hair and veil! He is definitely someone you want to have by your side on your wedding day! Our wedding photos came back so fast!!! Unbelievable! The photos were perfect! I can’t express how beautiful they were! He captured every guest and every moment. We felt like we were able to relieve our wedding day through the photos! We can’t say thank you enough to Shane and Meg!!!!”
Tracey & Peter – “What amazing talent! Shane and Meg are awesome. From the moment I viewed Shane’s work, I knew he was the one, and his laid back personality sealed the deal. Just received our photos back today and I cried! They were able to capture so many precious beautiful moments, and in a way that was not staged or scripted. We all felt so comfortable with Shane & Meg behind the lens, like they were family. We barely even noticed they were there. I can’t say enough about Shane Godfrey Photography. I wish I could give 100 stars!!”
Jenna & Matt -” I cannot say enough good things about Shane and Meg. I had used Shane previously to have photos taken of my yoga studio, so I already knew his work was beautiful. I was even more impressed with the way he managed everything on the day of the wedding. My husband and I chose not to see each other before our ceremony, so we only had an hour to take all of our photos before the reception. Shane has serious people managing skills – he was kind and friendly but pushed things along to keep us totally on schedule. He captured all of the moments we wanted (and more) and every single shot is beautiful. Photography was not something we had to worry about from the engagement shoot through the event. Shane truly is every bride’s dream photographer.”
Laura & Jim – “I absolutely cannot say enough great things about Shane and Meg! They were the best thing we booked for our wedding day and engagement photos. We did some engagement photos in Houston that did not go so well, luckily Shane was available on a last minute trip up north to save the day. His laid back demeanor is something that is so calming on what can be a very stressful day. He and Meg are very professional and extremely efficient, there was not a minute wasted with them. I would HIGHLY suggest using their services!”
Carrie & Brendon – “Shane did such an amazing job with our wedding pictures and also made the day so much less stressful for everyone. From the time he got there to start photographing the girls getting ready, his laid back attitude made us all more at ease. I loved the natural style of his pictures – my favorites are all the candid pictures or ones where he had my husband and I look at each other instead of at the camera. He was super efficient in getting all of the bridal party and family pictures taken so we didn’t spend a lot of time out in the heat and made it to our cocktail hour with time to spare. I have gotten so many compliments on our pictures. He captured every part of the day perfectly, I didn’t want a videographer and don’t regret this decision at all with all of these beautiful pictures.”
Christine & Frank – “Shane Godfrey did such an amazing job photographing our wedding! He was the first and only photographer we met with, and we knew right from seeing his other photos that we were going to choose him and we were not disappointed! He had the timing of everything down perfectly, and he has a great eye for capturing natural looking photos that are so beautiful and classic. He’s so easy to work with, and we had such a great time working with him, I would recommend him to anyone. We would love to work with him again sometime! Thank you!”
Lauren & Adam – “Shane Godfrey was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Really. I interviewed a bunch of photographers (my husband was ready to kill me), and fully looked through not just their blog photos but full sets of wedding photos and was blown away by Shane’s work. When first looking I was having serious anxiety because this is such a huge decision as it’s all you are left with at the end of the day. Most others had really good photos they used for their show photos or blog, but all the rest left much to be desired. During our first meeting, my husband and I asked the standard questions, but one of his answers sticks out in my head. I asked, how many photos he edits. He said he mainly does color correction and some lighting editing but that’s really it. I asked if he would be willing to do more if we requested and he said sure, but he doesn’t usually ever have to because he went to school for photography and knows how to use lighting and camera settings to capture the best photos that don’t need much editing. I typically never like many photos of myself – I’m always doing awkward movements, but I can honestly say out of 800+ photos there is not one that I do not absolutely love. He captured every moment of our wedding so beautiful and I have received so many comments from people about how amazing the photos are. He and Meg are also so easy to work with, and not intrusive at all, and actually I completely even forgot they were there and didn’t notice them at all. At the end of the night, I was actually nervous thinking they didn’t get any photos of me because I didn’t see them all night. That was not the case, they got every single moment. He kept everything moving along and made sure we stayed on time and did not run late.The only issue with them is I have too many amazing photos to choose from and not enough space in a photo album.”
Ariel & Will – “Shane was wonderful to work with at our wedding! We loved his demeanor, fun, easy to talk to, attentive but not intrusive. We are so thrilled with everything he captured – from the posed to the candids. He listened to our preferences in terms of style and environment and balanced that with his own professional expertise of knowing what will look best. Best of all, he actually seemed like he had a good time at our wedding and loves what he does! I highly recommend him!”
Susanne & Andrew – “Shane is the best. He was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He was so easy to work with, laid back, very knowledgeable, with helpful suggestions but more than willing to go with the requests I had. Him and his second shooter Meg captured every shot, put everyone at ease, and truly captured our wedding day. There were so many photographs of every small detail, even down to the amazing shoes the groom’s mother was wearing. I forgot that there were even pictures being taken throughout the evening! Shane also helped calm my nerves and kept the evening moving from moment to moment. The pictures were done and up for guests within a week. We are so happy with the photographs and continue to get compliments from our guests. Truly wonderful.”
Jessica & Nicholas – “Working with Shane was amazing. He took both our engagement photos and was also there with us for the entire day of our wedding. From the minute we sat down with him to talk about our day, I knew that he was the photographer we had to go with. Working with Shane was just a great experience. He is easygoing, laid back, got along with everyone and takes amazing photos.
I didn’t want the typical posed wedding portraits and with Shane, we got so many unique pictures that I am absolutely in love with. He was extremely flexible and was able to quickly adapt to the circumstances of our extremely raining wedding day and deliver some amazing shots. Everyone has said how much they love our pictures and how unique they are. They were especially impressed with all the amazing candid moments that Shane and his team were able to capture.
I would absolutely recommend Shane to any couple looking for amazing, unique wedding photos. Thank you Shane for everything!”
Amanda & Albert – “In a word, Shane was fabulous. He was easy to work with both before the day and at the wedding. He was professional, unobtrusive, and thorough. We have so many great photos from the day. His style is natural and candid, or at least that’s what we wanted and what he delivered. Even in our posed photographs, we have much personality. He captured so many wonderful little moments, and the more I have been going back and looking at the photos, the more I appreciate his talent and effort.
At one point during the reception, he tapped my husband and me to head back outside as there was a dusk light that illuminated the street in oranges and purples. That short series may be my favorite.
He put us all at ease, and he and his assistant did amazing work. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
We really wish we could rate Shane more than 5 stars!!”
Aoi & Matthew – “We had no doubt that we wanted him to take a part in our wedding at the moment we met for the first time. His sincerely genuine character immediately set us at ease and we really enjoyed his point of view and passion for his work, not to mention his pictures are just absolutely stunning.
On the day of our wedding, Shane and Meg were both very professional but even better presence to have around. They were very calming but up beat and got along with absolutely everyone. Shane knew everything there is to know about the wedding, from how to walk/carry your dress to a run down of how the day should run. He even helped us pick earrings for a bridesmaid! As a bride, having Shane around was such a blessing and I could not have gone through the day as well without him. He was very engaging with the guests, even our family from abroad who spoke little-to-no English. Everyone was raving about them even weeks after the wedding! The photos came back within 3 weeks after the wedding and we could not be happier with the end product. We’ve heard countless compliments on how stunning every single picture is. We are very lucky and blessed to have had a chance to work with a great photographer like Shane and to have amazing pictures to remind us of our happiest day.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Shane to any couple!”
Paige & Matthew – “Outstanding! It look me a long time to find a photographer I really liked as it seemed everyone around Boston took photos that were stuffy, cheesy and just not what we were going for. I was so happy to find Shane and even happier when we met him. Shane was down to earth, approachable and really easy to be around the day of our wedding. He and his crew managed to capture everything we would have wanted, often without us even realizing they were there.They work quickly too which is great because it allowed us to enjoy so much of the day. We couldn’t be happier with our photos (both portraits and candids), they came out beautifully have exactly the “feel” we wanted them to. Shane is incredibly talented and great to have around on your wedding day. We’re so happy to have worked with him.”
Emily & James – “After researching several photographers, a friend of a friend recommended Shane. We immediately loved his style and vision and actually pushed our (tentative) wedding date back a week to select a day he was available. Planning from a distance was a snap, as he was willing to chat over the phone or skype. He also was flexible in meeting us in person before the wedding when we were home in New England for the holidays.
I’m passionate about photography and knew this would be one of the few lasting pieces of our wedding day, which would capture the memories for a lifetime. I fully trusted his artistic vision (thank goodness, the last thing you want to worry about is photography!) and he exceeded our expectations. He is a calming, practical presence (I received a quick, effective lesson in how to walk in a big dress). As the day unfolded, our events progressed more slowly than we had planned, and fortunately Shane stuck around to the end.
We highly recommend him, you’ll be very pleased with the results!”
Carrie & Kevin– “Shane Godfrey is the best of the best. When my husband and I first met Shane to discuss our wedding and see if he was a good fit, I instantly knew he was the perfect person to capture our day. He was so easy going and kind and through our conversation I realized how smart and creative he was. I knew that on such a big day filled with so many different emotions, Shane would put me at ease and make the pictures one of the easiest and enjoyable parts of the day!
The day of our wedding couldn’t have gone better. Shane was so easy to work with, as was Meg. He knew that my husband and I wanted to be a part of our cocktail hour and finish our pictures beforehand, and we got all the shots done in plenty of time. Shane makes the process feel very natural. During the reception, Shane and Meg were all over the dance floor getting great shots of the party. He never pulled us away from our reception to get more pictures and we were able to be a part of every minute of our wedding.
Just over a week after our wedding, the prints were posted. I was overjoyed with how the pictures came out. Everyone I have talked to that has looked at them has said the same thing: they tell a story and they capture every moment you would want to remember. I’ve had so much fun going through them and re-living that day. Shane’s vision and skill is top-notch and he is an absolute professional. My husband and I are so glad we chose Shane to photograph the most important day of our lives, and are so happy we have his wonderful photographs to remember it forever. We highly recommend Shane Godfrey!”
Elizabeth & Adam – “From the moment we met Shane we were impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. He was extremely straightforward and easy to work with throughout the process and made a concerted effort to adapt his style to our needs. He was able to effortlessly accommodate the various requests we had for specific photos while simultaneously capturing countless candid moments throughout the night. His photos provided us with a genuine glimpse of the love we share and the joy of those who celebrated our day with us without the forced and manufactured feel of some photographers. We wholeheartedly recommend his talents to everyone!”
Kathy & Brian – “We can’t say enough nice things about Shane and Meg. Shane has worked with so many couples on their special days, he will know what you want photographed before you even do! Shane is not only a very talented photographer, he knows how to properly bustle a dress, pin a boutonniere, and put on a veil. He is a very fast worker when it comes to formals, but also pays attention to every detail and will get beautiful shots of every aspect of your wedding without you having to ask. In addition, Shane is a calming presence on what can otherwise be a stressful day. You don’t think about how much time you’ll spend with your photographer in advance, but it really makes a difference to have an experienced hand along for the ride. Finally, and most importantly, both Shane and Meg’s photos are AMAZING. We would recommend them for your wedding or special event without reservation!”

I did it, FINALLY. Didn’t think I could possibly freak out a guy who runs 100 mile races, injuring himself halfway and continuing to run on for 60 more miles. [He’s signed up for the Leadville 100 in August, I can’t wait to go see and support him, and take him to the hospital afterward in the medivac helo. :-)]
He’s the same guy who ate a Nathan’s Hot Dog from a NY State Thruway rest area, the day before he decided to run a 50 mile trail race. (Yeah, that didn’t work out so well for him and his intestines, as you can imagine.) The guy who just ran a mile last week in 4:56, and does 6 X 800 repeats at 2:45, which is a seriously sick pace I can’t even fathom for one 800.
Last week I actually set a new record for myself with a two-footed, weighted plank. 7.5 pounds (just spread the weight out more evenly), and held it for 7:30. Yep, blew away my old record of 6:19 that I blogged about last week. Yay!! One thing I did learn – not to do that again while wearing my racing flats. My feet kept sliding on the mat the entire time, and then my calves were killing me for most of the rest of the week.
When I told my brother this, he said I blew his mind – I DID IT!! Then, he said that he can only do it for about 2 minutes without shaking and stopping. I was like “really??” Wow! Never thought I’d hear that.
I realized today that “running topless” remains a popular phrase whereby people find my blog and tweeted about it. A male friend of mine, who shall remain nameless out on the West Coast where he lives and whose first name rhymes with “hill,” suggested a few terms I should use in my next post and see if they drive up traffic. I will just put them in bold font throughout this post, and also use them as tags to see if his prediction comes true. 🙂
Wow, are those people going to be sad when they get to my blog…. ha ha ha
I actually had a really good weekend. Went climbing with a new friend I made at the gym. It’s the first time we’ve hung out, and I felt like I’d already known her for a long time. So, that was very cool.
That's the climber, toward the top of the red stripe. Notice the tall ladder to the right, for a height perspective. People in foreground are sitting down.
My friend had never top-roped before, so they wouldn’t let her take the test at Metro Rock Gym (we went there because we knew the other place, Boston Rock Gym, was having comps (how they refer to competitions in the climbing world, I am learning), all day long. But, I took the top-rope test (which means I can climb and belay people there) and passed (phew!). We then just decided to boulder for a few hours. By the time we were done, my palms had gotten calloused (a good thing for doing it on a regular basis, going forward), and my fingers hurt, but luckily the rest of me, other than my fingers, were not really that sore. Guess my body is getting used to the new muscle groups being used.
This guy made it look so easy. Needless to say, there's not an extra ounce of fat on this guy. Insane in so many ways.
The Metro Rock Gym definitely has a much different feel to it. Some of the top-rope routes are much taller than at the other gym (which kinda freaks me out), and it’s a much larger room, rather than a few rooms. The crowd does tend to be a bit younger, because it’s accessible by the T. I even saw a woman who was “climbing topless.” Get your minds out of the gutter, boys. She had on a sports bra like I do when I run topless. She wasn’t necessarily stacked enough to fill a DD-cup (really, guys, how many do you think actually exist who do?), but I was glad to see that kind of thing was acceptable there too. (Yeah, it might take me a while to get to that point, however.) I think I will probably go to both depending on my schedule, but I definitely like the approach the folks take at the Boston Rock Gym, and can understand why a lot of people prefer the atmosphere of it too.
We were clearly newbies there, as were a lot of other folks. But a really friendly, supportive and experienced boulderer gave me some pointers, which definitely helped every time I tried it afterward. (He was helping out another newbie friend at the same time as he was helping the two of us.) I was crouching up my body too much, and holding all of my weight on my arms, when I should have been resting them, and I also learned that once you commit to take a move, you just have to go for it. And I just got a book called Training for Climbing (yep, I am a librarian after all), and a good portion of it is about mental training, something I think I can also apply to running.
Guy is just about hanging by fingernails, and the wall also forces him to be leaning back away from it, like an overhang. Cannot imagine the upper body strength it takes to do that!
I went to see a bouldering comp on Saturday night at the Boston Rock Gym. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it’s climbing that doesn’t involve ropes, and usually you’re not higher than 25 feet in the air (probably even less inside, I’m not a good judge of height), and if you fall, you land on crash pads. It’s great to have a spotter for support, but you can do it alone. Some of the climbers involved in the Finals were professionals, and it showed. I’ve posted a few pictures throughout the blog. While they really don’t do the climbers justice, since they were taken with the iPhone 3G (which doesn’t have a flash), the strength and control these folks displayed was pretty awesome. Guys had to start one route by jumping and grabbing the handhold with one hand (seriously difficult), and at times, both men and women had to climb upside down to pull $ off of the boulder. (Yes, part of the incentive to do well…) It got me inspired.
And ladies, yes, the guy is bouldering without a shirt on up above in one of my pictures. For some reason, still unknown to me, a lot of the guys tend to “climb topless.” If I ever figure out why, I’ll let you know. I can just think of so many ways that that could cause pain if you made the wrong move. Or, on the ropes. Can we say “ouch?”
My brother asked what I liked about the rock climbing so far. I told him it’s a new challenge for me, and one that I think I can get better on given time and lots of practice, and some good mental and physical training. As runners, I think a lot of us are in really good shape, but let’s admit it, we usually have little chicken arms. Rock climbing is definitely a sport where you can easily find out where your muscles are weak. I’m hoping it helps me to improve my running times. And, honestly, the people in that world seem to be so chill. Concerned about safety, of course, but it’s a nice break from where I spend my working hours. (I like my job but the institution can, at times, be overly concerned with its image, to its own detriment.)
The only bad thing that happened this weekend is that Ruthie’s dad and I will continue talking about and arranging for visits with her, but that will be it. I don’t want to go into details here, other than to say I think it’s for the best, honestly. It’ll make for more of a clean and final break, and maybe it will help us both move forward more easily. No, I’m not made of stone, I do think it’s sad, but it honestly is probably a good step for both of us to take right now. And Ruthie remains the one thing we both love, so I’ve included a picture of here too. I’ll continue to take lots of long walks with her and love and hug her to death when she visits.

I guess it is all relative
Posted by Terri under Inner Growth | Tags: boston rock gym, indoor climbing, Inner Growth, it's all relative, relativity, rock climbing, running paces, running times |
[10] Comments
Things that change depending on your viewpoint (just like this photo, it could be from early morning or early evening):
Thinking you’re fast or slow, compared to other people (like my bro, who told me his goal is to run Boston with average paces of 6:20/mile)
Thinking you’re fast or slow, compared to some of your own racing times
Thinking you’re feeling “weak” or “tired” one day because you can only hold a 1-footed plank for 7:26 (knowing your record is much longer), also knowing most people would be happy with half of that
Feeling sore from a workout you think is hard (hopefully a month later it will seem easy)
Feeling like today is a great day (or not), depending on what happened the day before
Feeling in control of and satisfied with your life
Feeling like things in life will get better, or not
Feeling like it is better to have diminished expectations of people and things, because it’s easier, has less likelihood of hurting you, or whether that’s taking the easy way out.
Last summer, I really didn’t think things in my life would improve. Someone told me, don’t worry, things will get better. I didn’t believe them at all because I was consumed in sadness and depression. Today, I have a core group of old friends I still rely on (as well as certain members of my family), and many new ones have come into my life. Many of you reading this should know who and what you are to me. Today, I know a bad day is just that – a bad day, one that will pass, and even if the next one isn’t great, there will be better ones, and compared to what I have been through, it’s still better now the way things were. It goes hand-in-hand with “feeling in control and satisfied with my life.”
Two years ago, I thought I was happy with being a 10 minute miler. Today, I’m running comfortably in the 8 mins range, and am aiming to be within the 7 minute range by the end of this year. I look at the progress of the past years, and especially the last few months, and know I can continue onward. I’m still not as fast as my brother, who wants to run Boston this year in 2:42, but I’m getting faster relative to him. (Sadly, I am not growing any taller in relation to him.) I’ve even run a race where my first mile was under 7, something I would never have thought possible! (And I still kept going, I didn’t fall to the ground with a sign on my head saying “please drag me over the finish line, don’t trample me.”
I held a 1-foot plank position this morning for 7:26. Just didn’t feel like I had it in me, and felt weak. Not too long ago, I would have been psyched with that! Now I know I can do better.
A little while ago, I was afraid to take chances, paralyzed with fear in many ways, and thinking I couldn’t deal with being on my own. Now, I feel comfortable in my own skin, not afraid to meet new people, and try new things. I’m still afraid of heights, but now I can point to the fact that I can scale a 30 foot wall sometimes and not feel afraid.
I sometimes think it would be easier for me to go through life just expecting a lot less of people. Then I wouldn’t be disappointed at times, or feel hurt, which is something I’m trying to avoid right now. But then, I think that that would make life kind of boring, and it’d take me back to that safe cocoon I used to live in, when things were comfortable, even if I didn’t feel completely alive. So when those defeating thoughts come to mind, I try as hard as I can to push them away. I recognize my mood for being down, and just try to deal with it and move on.
First Totally Unrelated Topic:
Guys, do you tend to work harder when there is a girl on a treadmill next to you? A very nice coworker of mine said he won’t get on one, if there’s a girl next to him, because he knows he’ll work himself harder than he should. (He’s recuperating from knee surgery.) He said to me “Terri, I don’t know what it is you women have, but you can just keep going and going and going…maybe it’s the stress you’re trying to get rid of, maybe you just zone out, maybe you just have more endurance…” and then proceeded to tell me of this amazing woman he saw running at his gym, who was running before he got there, and still was, at a fast pace, after he was done and showered, and ready to go. (You go, girl, whoever you were!!) Hey, if I ever make a guy on a treadmill next to me work harder than he would otherwise do, I just say “dude, you’re welcome!” 🙂
Second Totally Unrelated Topic:
I met the owner and manager of the Boston Rock Gym last night when I was there climbing. Turns out someone had read my earlier blog post that mentioned I’d gotten the climbing bug as well as the name of his establishment. When he realized I was there last night, he wanted to meet me. He was a SUPER NICE GUY! He even offered to belay me some nights if I didn’t have a partner, saying he would love to get the opportunity to have some fun like that! He even showed me a sneak peak of what they are putting together for their bouldering competition tomorrow night, March 26th. The guy has so many years of experience, I would love to learn or get tips from someone like that!
You never know who your words can affect, and how that person can, in turn, affect you. Just hope that it’s always positive.

1 November 2005
VIENNA, 31 October (UN Information Service) - Opium cultivation in Myanmar, the world's second largest producer, fell United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports.
UNODC's 2005 Myanmar Opium Survey shows that the area under opium cultivation was 32,800 hectares in 2005, down from 44,200 hectares in 2004, while the number of families involved in growing opium declined by 26 per cent to 193,000.
UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa welcomed the decline in cultivation but warned that the rapid progress in eradication seen in the past decade could be undone if the growing problem of poverty and under-nourishment among farmers was not addressed.
"Some of the poorest people are being affected by the loss of income from drugs as cultivation declines," said Mr. Costa. "With the loss of opium income, poor farmers and their families not only lose their coping mechanism to deal with endemic poverty and a chronic food shortage, they also lose access to health services and to schools. They end up very vulnerable to exploitation and misery -- from human rights abuses to enforce the opium bans, to internal displacement or human trafficking to survive the bans."
"The world will not condone counter-narcotic measures that result in humanitarian disasters," the UNODC Executive Director added. "The international community must have the wisdom to fight drugs and poverty simultaneously, to eliminate both the causes and the effects of these twin afflictions. Food security and income generation programmes must remain in place in Myanmar and be strengthened to support both the farmers' decisions not to plant opium and enforcement measures to eradicate opium that is planted against the law."
The 2005 Myanmar Opium Survey, conducted jointly by the Government of Myanmar and UNODC, within the framework of the UNODC Illicit Crop Monitoring Programme, was based on a combination of the use of satellite images and ground verification. It focused on Shan State, part of the notorious Golden Triangle, where 94 per cent of the country's opium poppy cultivation takes place.
Myanmar remains the second largest opium grower in the world after Afghanistan but its share of world opium poppy cultivation fell to 21 per cent in 2005 from 23 per cent in 2004. The average farm gate price of opium at harvest time was estimated at US$187 per kg in 2005, a 22 per cent increase on the US$153 reported in 2004.
Myanmar's total potential opium production in 2005 was estimated at 312 metric tons, down from 370 in 2004 and compared with the 1996 peak of 1,760 tons. The farm-gate value of opium production this year was estimated at US$58 million, equivalent to about 0.7 per cent of the country's Gross Domestic Product.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Mattel is addressing the backlash it has received regarding the Asian representation in its Olympic Barbie collection.
The company announced the Barbie Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 dolls last year but recently promoted them, saying it’s “committed to empowering girls to participate in sports.”
However, many people online pointed out that the collection didn’t appear to include an Asian doll. The perceived omission was especially prominent since Asian Americans like gold medal-winning gymnast Suni Lee captured the spotlight at this year’s Summer Games.
Responding to the backlash, Mattel said its intention was to represent the Asian community with its skateboarder doll, which has reddish-brown hair.
Barbie/Mattel
Skateboarder doll
Social media users have said they don’t feel that doll appears Asian, and the company has said that it recognizes it “fell short.”
“With our Barbie Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 dolls, we celebrate a range of athletes to inspire kids to find their athlete within. However, our intention to represent the Asian community with the Skateboarder doll fell short and we fully receive and recognize the feedback,” a Mattel spokesperson said in a statement provided to The E.W. Scripps Company.
Mattel said it will work to be more inclusive in the future.
“Moving forward, we will work to find more ways to champion all representation and celebrate the amazing achievements of all Olympic athletes, who are showing us that anything is possible,” said the spokesperson.

In Tennessee v. Garner (1984), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s opinion that a Tennessee law allowing for the use of deadly force on an escaped felon or suspect violated the Fourth Amendment, according to Oyez. The escapee was not an imminent threat.
The court ruled that the police must exhibit probable cause of danger in order to shoot an escapee. Under the Fourth Amendment, the act of shooting an escapee was a seizure, explains Oyez.
Edward Eugene Garner was an unarmed teenager who allegedly stole items from a home and fled from the police. While attempting to escape over a fence, a police officer shot him per state law involving hot pursuit.

Today we welcome The Parkview to the site. (Welcome, Parkview!) The Parkview is the wine bar and restaurant on Park Avenue that used to be Eola Wine Company. EWC’s Scott Schrope sold the Winter Park location to his longtime manager, Matt Coltrin last year in an amicable transaction. (Schrope continues to own and operate the Orlando Eola Wine Company, which is actually across Lake Eola Park.)
Did you notice above that I referred to the Parkview as a wine bar and restaurant? That’s because Coltrin and his chef, A.J. Haines, have really stepped up the food here, offering a more substantial bill of fare to go with the already impressive bill of imbibes. They invited me to stop by recently and sample what’s coming out of the kitchen. I liked what I tasted.
I started with a smooth and rich creamed Zellwood corn soup drizzled with a bit of olive oil and served with a few popcorn “croutons.”
Watermelon salad featured cool cubes of the fruit on top of spicy baby arugula tossed in a light champagne honey vinaigrette. Goat cheese crumbles and pickled watermelon rind dotted the substantial salad.
The roasted artichoke crostini had the whole chokes on toasted bread beds with pickled onion and shaved Manchego cheese. A pesto fashioned out of red pepper smeared on the plate offered color as well as flavor, as did some more of the young arugula.
Pan seared lamb lollipops was the first entree I sampled. The three bite-sized chops were perfectly seared and well-seasoned, but not so as to cover the delightful gaminess of the meat. The pops — pick them up; that’s why they’re called lollipops — were accompanied by sticks of roasted carrots and little piles of pearl couscous in a puddle of mint puree.
The braised pork belly was wonderful, a thick and appropriately succulent slice with a crisped outside. It was served with pot liquor next to a stack of braised kale and atop of swoosh of purple potato puree. Crispy chicharrones topped it off.
If you’re not inclined to have a full entree, you might want to go for the charcuterie platter. Mine had various salume and cured meats as well as a house pate, house cured olives and other pickles, a selection of cheeses, bread, crackers and local jam.
And of course all of this is pairable with any of the selections from Parkview’s extensive list of wines. Even better, there is a knowledgable staff to help you choose the right wine to suit your tastes. And if your taste is for craft beer, they’ve got you covered there, too.
Most of the indoor seating is at tall tables, though there are a couple of sofas for more casual lounging, though I never find those setting conducive to dining. There are also several tables on the sidewalk out front, perfect for time honored sport of Park Avenue People Peering.
Park Avenue now has a more concentrated group of good restaurants than the stretch of Sand Lake Road I dubbed Restaurant Row back in the ‘90s. With the Parkview’s dedication to serving good food with its fine wines, we can add one more to the list.
The Parkview is at 136 Park Ave. S., Winter Park. It is open for lunch and dinner daily, including late nights. There is no dedicated website, but its Facebook page has a downloadable menu. The phone number is 407-647-9103.
< Prev Next >
We hope you find our reviews and news articles useful and entertaining. It has always been our goal to assist you in making informed decisions when spending your dining dollars. If we’ve helped you in any way, please consider making a contribution to help us continue our journalism. Thank you.

Albeit, the post-pregnancy exercises can be a regular one, during pregnancy, it is imperative that you get the consent of your doctor before adopting any exercise practice. Be it yoga, exercise, gymnastics, aerobics – each of them will have their positive and negative effect on the body. And so, it is recommended to consult with your doctor.
And, at any point in time, if you feel any discomfort or pain whilst exercising, you may need to visit the doctor immediately, unless stated otherwise by the doctor.
Exercise facts during pregnancy
Exercising whilst pregnant mitigates the risk of overweight gain, deals with back issues, prepares the muscles for a normal delivery or childbirth, and gives the baby a healthier beginning to life.
Exercise is mandatory, however, the pregnant mothers should keep it low profile and should know when to stop.
Brisk walking, swimming, meditation, yoga, and stationary cycling are the most commonly recommended ways to stay hale and healthy during pregnancy.
Exercises to keep you hale and healthy
Brisk walking
If you were a couch potato during your early pregnancy, it is time to get some walking now. It is very important and will improve your cardiovascular system without too much strain on your knees and ankle. This is an exercise that doesn’t need time because you start anytime and anywhere.
Safety tip: As your pregnancy advances further, your center of gravity will alter, and so you may lose your coordination and balance. Remember to stroll on flat surfaces, avoid rocks, stones, potholes, and most importantly, wear your footwear right.
Swimming
Swimming and any kind of exercising in water will give a better range of motion without applying any extra pressure on the joints. Water’s buoyancy will offer some relief from the extra weight.
It offers great health benefits during pregnancy.
Safety tip: Swim to exercise and not to strain your back muscles, neck, shoulders, and ankle. Be mindful that you are having a baby and that you cannot just go too fast. A kickboard will aid in strengthening the buttock muscles and leg. Strictly no jumping, diving, avoid hot water tubs, steam rooms.
Meditation
Meditation is to your mind what exercise is to your body. It is very important that you maintain your mental health along with your physical. After all, it is the mental push that you would need to start your physical exercise. So sitting in silence and simply observing the breath for a certain time will help you become aware of your present moment. This will prepare you at the time of delivery.
Tip: You can get the help of a guided meditation app that will teach you the process.
Yoga
Yoga will help you keep the joints limber and flexible. It augments your blood circulation, bolsters muscles, improves mood, and promotes relaxation. This will reflect on maintaining healthy blood pressure during pregnancy.
The techniques of yoga will also help you to relax during labor.
Safety tip: It is advisable to skip positions that would lead you to overbalance. It will be tempting to stretch, but you will have to be mindful of overstretching, as it could lead to injury.
Stationary cycling
Cycling on a stationary bike is called spinning. It is generally sound for the first-time exercisers also. A steady pace will help raise the heart rate without exerting heavy stress on the joints.
Also, the stationary bike hinders the risk of falling.
Safety Tip: You may have to watch the speed of your cycling. You do not want to overdo it and invite heart-related issues. So maintaining a steady speed is necessary.
Squatting and Pelvic tilts:
During childbirth, squatting will be of aid to open the pelvis, and hence you may need to squatting practice during pregnancy.
Pelvic tilts will add strength to overall abdominal muscles. It helps in reducing back pain and any kind of pain in the joints. Whatever exercise regimen you adhere to, you would need to ensure that you will seek the doctor’s advice before every move.

On the other hand, all of the results for the PageRank engine (aside from a single secondary listing) link to the homepage of major American universities. The results are much more logical and useful in nature. If you search for “university,” are you going to want the homepages for popular universities, or random subpages from a sprinkling of colleges all over the world?
Thi effective DMP, a business first needs to review the marketplace and set 'SMART' (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant and Time-Bound) objectives.[61] They can set SMART objectives by reviewing the current benchmarks and key performance indicators (KPIs) of the company and competitors. It is pertinent that the analytics used for the KPIs be customised to the type, objectives, mission and vision of the company.[62][63]
As an avid reader of [insert their site name], I love reading anything you write about, such as [insert article on their website], and anything you link out to. Sadly, I couldn’t find the article you were trying to link to, but I did happen to find another good webpage on the same topic: [insert url to webpage that you are building links to]. You should check it out, and if you like it, you probably want to switch the links.
According to the U.S. Commerce Department, consumers spent $453.46 billion on the web for retail purchases in 2017, a 16.0% increase compared with $390.99 billion in 2016. That’s the highest growth rate since 2011, when online sales grew 17.5% over 2010. Forrester predicts that online sales will account for 17% of all US retail sales by 2022. And digital advertising is also growing strongly; According to Strategy Analytics, in 2017 digital advertising was up 12%, accounting for approxur backlink building efforts by helping you create quality, relevant backlinks to your site, and making the job easier in the process.
We work with you to turn your website into the ultimate industry resource on the Web. We also market your website to those places that need to know about your site in order to help searchers find you - so that your website receives the search visibility it deserves. It takes more than just traffic to turn visitors into customers and to maximize your return on investment, that is why we offer services to maximize value from visitors at every stage of the path to conversion.
Affiliate marketing - Affiliate marketing is perceived to not be considered a safe, reliable and easy means of marketing through online platform. This is due to a lack of reliability in terms of affiliates that can produce the demanded number of new customers. As a result of this risk and bad affiliates it leaves the brand prone to exploitation in terms of claiming commission that isn't honestly acquired. Legal means may offer some protection against this, yet there are limitations in recovering any losses or investment. Despite this, affiliate marketing allows the brand to market towards smaller publishers, and websites with smaller traffic. Brands that choose to use this marketing often should beware of such risks involved and look to associate with affiliates in which rules are laid down between the parties involved to assure and minimize the risk involved.[47]
We begin by gaining a sound understanding of your industry, business goals, and target audience. We follow a very formal marketing process for each social media strategy which includes in-depth discovery, markr text is the descriptive labeling of the hyperlink as it appears on a web page. Search engine bots (i.e., spiders, crawlers, etc.) examine the anchor text to evaluate how relevant it is to the content on a webpage. Anchor text and webpage content congruency are highly weighted in search engine results page (SERP) rankings of a webpage with respect to any given keyword query by a search engine user.
Targeting, viewability, brand safety and invalid traffic: Targeting, viewability, brand safety and invalid traffic all are aspects used by marketers to help advocate digital advertising. Cookies are a form of digital advertising, which are tracking tools within desktop devices; causing difficulty, with shortcomings including deletion by web browsers, the inability to sort between multiple users of a device, inaccurate estimates for unique visitors, overstating reach, understanding frequency, problems with ad servers, which cannot distinguish between when cookies have been deleted and when consumers have not previously been exposed to an ad. Due to the inaccuracies influenced by cookies, demographics in the target market are low and vary (Whiteside, 2016).[42] Another element, which is affected within digital marketing, is ‘viewabilty’ or whether the ad was actually seen by the consumer. Many ads are not seen by a consumer and may never reach the right demographic segment. Brand safety is another issue of whether or not the ad was produced in the context of being unethical or having offensive content. Recognizing fraud when an ad is exposed is another challenge marketers face. This relates to invalid traffic as premium sites are more effective at detecting fraudulent traffic, although non-premium sites are more so the problem (Whiteside, 2016).[42]
Description meta tags are important because Google might use them as snippets for your pages. Note that we say "might" because Google may choose to use a relevant section of your page's visible text if it does a good job of matching up with a user's query. Adding description meta tags to each of your pages is always a good practice in case Google cannot find a good selection of text to use in the snippet. The Webmaster Central Blog has informative posts on improving snippets with better description meta tags18 and better snippets for your users19. We also have a handy Help Center article team at Thrive Internet Marketing Agency! We are a high-powered digital marketing agency growing rapidly and looking for a Business Development / Inbound Sales individual to work with a cohesive team of outstanding designers, developers, social media and SEO experts to help grow the business to the next level.

These 3 step milestone shows how your reach out to your market, turn them into loyal customers and use them to promote your business and get new customers. This is a long process because you need to build a brand and reputation. You also need good risk management plan to avoid any issues that could destroy your company and eventually push customers away. Despite the difficult, this is the cheapest and most reliable marketing strategy any business could apply. After all, an authentic feedback from customers is a more powerful tool to grow your business than sales pitch even from your best salesperson.
Collaborative Environment: A collaborative environment can be set up between the organization, the technology service provider, and the digital agencies to optimize effort, resource sharing, reusability and communications.[36] Additionally, organizations are inviting their customers to help them better understand how to service them. This source of data is called User Generated Content. Much of this is acquired via company websites where the organization invites people to share ideas that are then evaluated by other users of the site. The most popular ideas are evaluated and implemented in some form. Using this method of acquiring data and developing new products can foster the organizations relationship with their customer as well as spawn ideas that would otherwise be overlooked. UGC is low-cost advertising as it is directly from the consumers and can save advertising costs for the organisation.
Influencer marketing: Important nodes are identified within related communities, known as influencers. This is becoming an important concept in digital tnd-alone radio promotion in one market, Marketing Solutions looks for the most economical and efficient strategy to accomplish client’s objectives.
There’s no avoiding it: internet marketing is critical for the success of your business in 2018. But with all the gimmicks and tricks, it can be difficult to distinguish short-term wins from effective long-term strategies, which is why we’ve created an ultimate guide. Here, we’ll cover everything from marketing strategies to real-world examples, to ensure your business reaches the right people out of that four billion.
An omni-channel approach not only benefits consumers but also benefits business bottom line: Research suggests that customers spend more than double when purchasing through an omni-channel retailer as opposed to a single-channel retailer, and are often more loyal. This could be due to the ease of purchase and the wider availability of products.[24]
2. Domain authority and page authority. Next, you should learn about domain authority and page authority, and how they predict your site’s search rankings. Here’s the basic idea; your site’s domain authority is a proprietary score, provided by Moz, of how “trustworthy” your domain is. It’s calculated based on the quantity and quality of inbound links to your website. The higher it is, the higher all your pages across your domain are likely to rank in organic search results. Page authority is very similar, but page-specific, and you can use it to engineer a link architecture that strategically favors some of your pages over others. Authority depends on the authority and volume of inbound links.
According to Statistica, 76% of the U.S. population has at least one social networking profile and by 2020 the number of worldwide users of social media is expected to reach 2.95 billion (650 million of these from China alone). Of the social media platforms, Facebook is by far the most dominant - as of the end of the second quarter of 2018 Facebook had approximately 2.23 billion active users worldwide (Statistica). Mobile devices have become the dominant platform for Facebook usage - 68% of time spent on Facebook originates from mobile devices.
A great number of public networks call themselves “private”. That’s not true. If the network is advertised, it cannot be private. We witnessed cases when Google destroyed such public networks and all the websites which had used them. They are easy to be revealed due to a huge number of outbound homepage links which are irrelevant to each other. Their posts are short, and they cannot really block SEO crawlers.
Infographics are one of the most popular methods for bringing traffic to your website and gaining valuable backlinks. They're also great because they're easy to understand and share. Everyone loves visual data, right? That's why the demand for infographics has increased considerably. Consider that influential online publications like Mashable publish numerous infographics from all over the Internet.
Internet ads, websites, text messages and email blasts – What’s the best tool to help you grow your business? It could be all of the above, or something that’s not even listed. Marketing Solutions has experience with every aspect of e-Marketing so we can suggest the tools that we think will provide the most effective and economical results for your business. We have created a variety of websites, coordinated dozens of digital ad campaigns and know the secrets to making the most of your email blasts. Enter the world of e-Marketing right here.
But I'm not talking about any kind of link building. I'm talking about organic link building by getting out there and creating insatiable "anchor content" on your website, then linking to that content with equally-great content that's created on authority sites like Medium, Quora, LinkedIn and other publishing platforms. It's not easy by any measure. Google is far more wary of newcomers these days than it once used to be.
As Emineo Marketing Solutions hit the ground running in the second quarter of the year, Eddie reflects on the growth thus far and outlines the focus for the company moving forward. "We were fortunate enough to have such a strong core of individuals in Las Vegas, when back to back markets became available we were able to capitalize. We knew going into these expansions that we could not sacrifice production in our headquarters office, so we put the pedal to the metal and continued to run a top ranking office here, while making huge strides nationally," Eddie explained.
Establishment of customer exclusivity: A list of customers and customer's details should be kept on a database for follow up and selected customers can be sent selected offers and promotions of deals related to the customer's previous buyer behaviour. This is effective in digital marketing as it allows organisations to build up loyalty over email.[22]
Client relations and relationships are a top priority at Emineo Marketing Solutions. As a relationship and branding based business, Emineo representatives act as the daily face of their clients' brands and services. Kevin remarked, "First and foremost, client relations are always put first before sales. Without putting our clients first, we would have never gotten this opportunity." Managers like Kevin are serious in their pursuit of maintaining a positive experience for clients, customers, and employees.
Submit website to directories (limited use). Professional search marketers don’t submit the URL to the major search engines, but it’s possible to do so. A better and faster way is to get links back to your site naturally. Links get your site indexed by the search engines. However, you should submit your URL to directories such as Yahoo! (paid), (paid) and DMOZ (free). Some may choose to include AdSense scripts on a new site to get their Google Media bot to visit. It will likely get your pages indexed quickly.
Try using Dribble to find designers with good portfolios. Contact them directly by upgrading your account to PRO status, for just $20 a year. Then simply use the search filter and type "infographics." After finding someone you like, click on "hire me" and send a message detailing your needs and requesting a price. Fiver is another place to find great designers willing to create inexpensive infographics.
So, now we're getting to backlinks that have relatively little, or even negative value. The value of web directories has diminished dramatically in recent years. This shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, when was the last time that you used a web directory to find anything, rather than just doing a Google search? Google recognizes that directories don't have any real world worth, and so they don't accord much value to backlinks on them. But there is an exception to this rule. Submitting your website to local, industry-specific and niche directories can net you worthwhile backlinks. But if you can't imagine a circumstance where someone would use a certain directory, then it's probably not worth your time.
Targeting, viewability, brand safety and invalid traffic: Targeting, viewability, brand safety and invalid traffic all are aspects used by marketers to help advocate digital advertising. Cookies are a form of digital advertising, which are tracking tools within desktop devices; causing difficulty, with shortcomings including deletion by web browsers, the inability to sort between multiple users of a device, inaccurate estimates for unique visitors, overstating reach, understanding frequency, problems with ad servers, which cannot distinguish between when cookies have been deleted and when consumers have not previously been exposed to an ad. Due to the inaccuracies influenced by cookies, demographics in the target market are low and vary (Whiteside, 2016).[42] Another element, which is affected within digital marketing, is ‘viewabilty’ or whether the ad was actually seen by the consumer. Many ads are not seen by a consumer and may never reach the right demographic segment. Brand safety is another issue of whether or not the ad was produced in the context of being unethical or having offensive content. Recognizing fraud when an ad is exposed is another challenge marketers face. This relates to invalid traffic as premium sites are more effective at detecting fraudulent traffic, although non-premium sites are more so the problem (Whiteside, 2016).[42]
When would this be useful? If your site has a blog with public commenting turned on, links within those comments could pass your reputation to pages that you may not be comfortable vouching for. Blog comment areas on pages are highly susceptible to comment spam. Nofollowing these user-added links ensures that you're not giving your page's hard-earned reputation to a spammy site.
Unfortunately, SEO is also a slow process. You can make “quick wins” in markets which are ill-established using SEO, but the truth is that the vast majority of useful keyphrases (including long-tail keyphrases) in competitive markets will already have been optimized for. It is likely to take a significant amount of time to get to a useful place in search results for these phrases. In some cases, it may take months or even years of concentrated effort to win the battle for highly competitive keyphrases.
Under Armour came up with the hashtag “I Will What I Want” to encourage powerful athletic women to achieve their dreams despite any opposition they might face. The hashtag, first used by American Ballet Theatre ballerina soloist Misty Copeland, blew up on Facebook after supermodel Gisele Bündchen used it in one of her Facebook posts. Many other female athletes have also used the hashtag.
Jure Klepic wrote a great article about Influencers and Advocates. He’s touched on a marketing debate that is raging between the efficacy of advocates and influencers. The truth is both matter – but either may matter more than the other depending on context. For example, new start-ups rarely have advocates – but most can connect with influencers in the industry. In that situation, clearly influencers are more important.
Another way to get sites to link back to something valuable on your site is by offering a free tool. A free tool could be a basic tool (like an auto loan calculator) or a scaled down version of a paid tool (like Alexa’s Site Overview and Audience Overlap tools).

The better you learn and understand SEO and the more strides you take to learn this seemingly confusing and complex discipline, the more likely you'll be to appear organically in search results. And let's face it, organic search is important to marketing online. Considering that most people don't have massive advertising budgets and don't know the first thing about lead magnets, squeeze pages and sales funnels, appearing visible is critical towards long-term success.
Emineo Marketing Solutions (one of the Las Vegas' premier marketing firms) is proud to announce that they are currently hiring for entry level marketing and sales reps to add to their already thriving team. What we do is simple: we present our client’s marketing for the time being. Search engine optimization (SEO) offers up the proverbial key to near-limitless amounts of traffic on the web.
Email marketing is the practice of nurturing leads and driving sales through email communications with your customers. Like social media, the goal is to remind users that you’re here and your product is waiting. Unlike social media, however, you can be a lot more aggressive with your sales techniques, as people expect that email marketing will contain offers, product announcements and calls to action.
TrustRank takes into consideration website foundational backlinks. Searching engines find quicker sites which are reliable and trustworthy and place them on the top of SERP. All doubtful websites you can find somewhere at the end of the rank if you decide to look what is there. As a rule, people take the information from the first links and stop searching, in case they have found nothing on first 20 top sites. Surely, your website may have that required information, service or goods but because of lack of authority, Internet users will not find them unless you have good foundational backlinks. What are backlinks which we call foundational? These are all branded and non-optimized backlinks on authority websites.
We’ve structured our transformative brand marketing solutions around this philosophy in order to best serve businesses and institutions looking to stand out from the competition, connect with customers, and achieve their goals. Our cohesive approach blends research, strategy, creative, and analysis to build authentic brands and compelling digital marketing experiences.

Some brilliant tips and advice here, I am curious you mention the directory sites to submit to and I notice a lot of my competitors are on such sites but a lot of these sites want links back which would mean I would need pages of links on my site and that is something I don’t see on competitors sites – how do they manage that would it be all paid for or is there a trick
Hey Brian, this is an absolutely fabulous post! It caused me to come out of lurking mode on the Warrior Forum and post a response there as well. Only my second post in 4 years, it wa lots of it!
You can confer some of your site's reputation to another site when your site links to it. Sometimes users can take advantage of this by adding links to their own site in your comment sections or message boards. Or sometimes you might mention a site in a negative way and don't want to confer any of your reputation upon it. For example, imagine that you're writing a blog post on the topic of comment spamming and you want to call out a site that recently comment spammed your blog. You want to warn others of the site, so you include the link to it in your content; however, you certainly don't want to give the site some of your reputation from your link. This would be a good time to use nofollow.
But if you do it properly, it can be worth your money. Also, press releases can be much more than just a block of text. In December 2018, we ran a press release through Business Wire that had multiple backlinks, stylized call outs, and even a video! If you put effort into them, press releases can be not just a source of backlinks, but also serve as a great marketing piece as well.
Website owners recognized the value of a high ranking and visibility in search engine results,[6] creating an opportunity for both white hat and black hat SEO practitioners. According to industry analyst Danny Sullivan, the phrase "search engine optimization" probably came into use in 1997. Sullivan credits Bruce Clay as one of the first people to popularize the term.[7] On May 2, 2007,[8] Jason Gambert attempted to trademark the term SEO by convincing the Trademark Office in Arizona[9] that SEO is a "process" involving manipulation of keywords and not a "marketing service." marketing solutions Denver

come to Day 7 of our advent calendar. Yesterday’s post was about Printed Circuit Birds Boards, today’s theme is the Christmas robin redbreast which features on lots of Christmas cards and today is making a special appearance on our CS4FN Computing advent calendar.
A little robin redbreast.
In this longer post we’ll focus on the ways computer scientists are learning about our feathered friends and we’ll also make room for some of the bird-brained April Fools jokes in computing too.
We hope you enjoy it, and there’s also a puzzle at the end.
1. Computing Sounds Wild – bird is the word
Our free CS4FN magazine, Computing Sounds Wild (you can download a copy here), features the word ”bird” 60 times so it’s definitely very bird-themed.
“An interest in nature and an interest in computers don’t obviously go well together. For a band of computer scientists interested in sound they very much do, though. In this issue we explore the work of scientists and engineers using computers to understand, identify and recreate wild sounds, especially those of birds. We see how sophisticated algorithms that allow machines to lter scientist and learn to program.”
2. Singing bird – a human choir singing birdsong
by Jane Waite, QMUL
This article was originally published on the CS4FN website and can also be found on page 15 in the magazine linked above.
“I’m in a choir”. “Really, what do you sing?” “I did a blackbird last week, but I think I’m going to be woodpecker today, I do like a rober lots of chilly mornings. They slowed the sounds down and matched up each species of bird with different types of human voices. Next they created a film of 19 people making bird song, each person sang a different bird, in their own habitats, a car, a shed even a lady in the bath! The 19 tracks are played together to make the dawn chorus. See it on YouTube below.
Marcus didn’t stop there, he wrote a new bird song score. Yes, for people to sing a new top ten bird hit, but they have to do it very slowly. People sing ‘bird’ about 20 times slower than birds sing ‘bird’ ‘whooooooop’, ‘whooooooop’, ‘tweeeeet’. For a special performance, a choir learned the new song, a new dawn chorus, they sang the slowed down version live, which was recorded, speeded back up and played to the audience, I was there! It was amazing! A human performance, became a minute of tweeting joy. Close your eyes and ‘whoop’ you were in the woods, at the crack of dawn!
Computationally thinking a performance
Computational thinking is at the heart of the way computer scientists solve problems. Marcus Coates, doesn’t claim to be a computer scientist, he is an artist who looks for ways to see how people are like other animals. But we can get an idea of what computational thinking is all about by looking at how he created his sounds. Firstly, he and wildlife sound recordist, Geoff Sample, had to focus on the individual bird sounds in the original recordings, ignore detail they didn’t need, doing abstraction, listening for each bird, working out what aspects of bird sound was important. They looked for patterns isolating each voice, sometimes the bird’s performance was messy and they could not hear particular species clearly, so they were constantly checking for quality. For each bird, they listened and listened until they found just the right ‘slow it down’ speed. Different birds needed different speeds for people to be able to mimic and different kinds of human voices suited each bird type: attention to detail mattered enormously. They had to check the results carefully, evaluating, making sure each really did sound like the appropriate bird and all fitted together into the Dawn Chorus soundscape. They also had to create a bird language, another abstraction, a score as track notes, and that is just an algorithm for making sounds!
3. Sophisticated songbird singing – how do they do it?
by Dan Stowell, QMUL
This article was originally published on the CS4FN website and can also be found on page 14 in the magazine linked above.
How do songbirds make such complex sounds? The answer is on a different branch of the tree of evolution…
We humans have a set of vocal folds (or vocal cords) in our throats, and they vibrate when we speak to make the pitched sound. Air from your lungs passes over them and they chop up the column of air letting more or less through and so making sound waves. This vocal ‘equipment’ is similar in mammals like monkeys and dogs, our evolutionary neighbours. But songbirds are not so similar to us. They make sounds too, but they evolved this skill separately, and so their ‘equipment’ is different: they actually have two sets of vocal folds, one for each lung.

Sometimes if you hear an impressive, complex sound from a bird, it’s because the bird is actually using the two sides of their voice-box together to make what seems like a single extra-long or extra-fancy sound. Songbirds also have very strong muscles in their throat that help them change the sound extremely quickly. Biologists believe that these skills evolved so that the birds could tell potential mates and rivals how healthy and skillful they were.
So if you ever wondered why you can’t quite sing like a blackbird, now you have a good excuse!
4. Data transmitted on the wing
Computers are great ways of moving data from one place to another and the internet can let you download or share a file very quickly. Before I had the internet at home if I wanted to work on a file on my home computer I had to save a copy from my work computer onto a memory stick and plug it in to my laptop at home. Once I ‘got connected’ at home I was then able to email myself with an attachment and use my home broadband to pick up file. Now I don’t even need to do that. I can save a file on my work computer, it synchronises with the ‘cloud’ and when I get home I can pick up where I left off. When I was using the memory stick my rate of data transfer was entirely down to the speed of road traffic as I sat on the bus on the way to work. Fairly slow, but the data definitely arrived in one piece.
In 1990 a joke memo was published for April Fool’s Day which suggested the use of homing pigeons as a form of internet, in which the birds might carry small packets of data. The memo, called ‘IP over Avian Carriers’ (that is, a bird-based internet), was written in a mock-serious tone (you can read it here) but although it was written for fun the idea has actually been used in real life too. Photographers in remote areas with minimal internet signal have used homing pigeons to send their pictures back.

A company in the US which offers adventure holidays including rafting used homing pigeons to return rolls of films (before digital film took over) back to the company’s base. The guides and their guests would take loads of photos while having fun rafting on the river and the birds would speed the photos back to the base, where they could be developed, so that when the adventurous guests arrived later their photos were ready for them.

5. Serious fun with pigeons
On April Fool’s Day in 2002 Google ‘admitted’ to its users that the reason their web search results appeared so quickly and were so accurate was because, rather than using automated processes to grab the best result, Google was actually using a bank of pigeons to select the best results. Millions of pigeons viewing web pages and pecking picking the best one for you when you type in your search question. Pretty unlikely, right?
In a rather surprising non-April Fool twist some researchers decided to test out how well pigeons can distinguish different types of information in hospital photographs. They trained pigeons by getting them to view medical pictures of tissue samples taken from healthy people as well as pictures taken from people who were ill. The pigeons had to peck one of two coloured buttons and in doing so learned which pictures were of healthy tissue and which were diseased. If they pecked the correct button they got an extra food reward.

The researchers then tested the pigeons with a fresh set of pictures, to see if they could apply their learning to pictures they’d not seen before. Incredibly the pigeons were pretty good at separating the pictures into healthy and unhealthy, with an 80 per cent hit rate.

6. Today’s puzzle
You can download this as a PDF to PRINT or as an editable PDF that you can fill in on a COMPUTER.
You might wonder “What do these kriss-kross puzzles have to do with computing?” Well, you need to use a bit of logical thinking to fill one in and come up with a strategy. If there’s only one word of a particular length then it has to go in that space and can’t fit anywhere else. You’re then using pattern matching to decide which other words can fit in the spaces around it and which match the letters where they overlap. Younger children might just enjoy counting the letters and writing them out, or practising phonics or spelling.
We’ll post the answer tomorrow.
7. Answer to yesterday’s puzzle
The creation of this post was funded by UKRI, through grant EP/K040251/2 held by Professor Ursula Martin, and forms part of a broader project on the development and impact of computing.

What are birds actually saying?
by Dan Stowell and Paul Curzon, Queen Mary University of London
Birds make so much noise, and it’s very comt it means? Could we learn their language and speak to the birds?
Gull image by Thanasis Papazacharias from Pixabay
We know that bird communicatioterns like those we find in human language. There apparently aren’t rules for birds like the ones we have about verbs and nouns. Birds donpredators, or food, or sometimes just advertising their own fitness – showing off to get a mate (a bit like karaoke nights). Scientists have proved that such spec other birds react, they can see what information was communicated by a particular sound. If you play a ‘predator near’ call, for example, then other birds flee, but they stay put if you play other calls. They get the message.
Birds are definitely passing on specific information when they sing.
It turns out some birds have even learnt the languages of other animals and use it both to help those other animals and to support a life of crime. Many animals listen for the alarm calls of the animals around them, and so flee when others see a problem. Birds called Drongos, for example, act as lookouts for Meerkats, giving warning calls when they see Meerkat predators, allowing them to return to the safety of their burrows. However, the Drongos also sound false alarms every so often. They do it when they see a Meerkat with some juicy morcel. As the Meerkats run, the Drongo swoops in to steal the abandoned food.
Unfortunately for the Drongo, Meerkats are quite clever and get wise to the con. Eventually, they start to ignore the Drongo and only listen for their own Meerkat sentry’s call. The Drongo has another trick though. They are really good at mimicking sounds they hear, just like parrots. They have learnt to speak Meerkat just like the scientists do in experiments. So when the Meerkats stop reacting, the Drongos just switch tactics and start making perfect Meerkat language alarm calls instead. Once again the food is theirs.
Drongos give false alarms so they can steal food.
While most of us can’t reproduce bird sounds ourselves, and so talk directly to animals, we can certainly write programs to do it. In Star Wars, C3PO is a master of languages, speaking millions. Real robots of the near future will be able to mimic the sounds of whatever animals they wish and communicate with them in at least the simple ways that animals of different species listen and talk to each other. Perhaps something like this might be used to help protect endangered species from their predators, for example, watching for hawks and issuing timely warnings. We just have to hope they don’t turn to the Dark Side, like the Drongos, and use these skills to support a life of crime.

Computing Sounds Wild explores the work of scientists and engineers who are using computers to understand, identify and recreate wild sounds, especially those of birds. We see how sophisticated algorithms that allow machines to learn, can help recognize birds even when they can’t be seen, so helping conservation efforts. We see how computer models help biologists understand animal behaviour, and we look at how electronic and computer generated sounds, having changed music, are now set to change the soundscapes of films. Making electronic sounds is also a great, fun way to become a computer scientist and learn to program.

South Korea reported 79 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, the most in nearly eight weeks, triggering the return of tougher social distancing curbs amid the specter of a second wave of disease in a country praised for containing the first outbreak.
At least 82 cases so far this week have been linked to a cluster of infections at a logistics facility operated by Coupang Corp, one of the country’s largest online shopping firms, in Bucheon, west of Seoul, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).
Some 4,100 workers, including 603 delivery people, at the warehouse were believed to have not followed social distancing and protective measures properly, including wearing a mask, KCDC deputy director Kwon Jun-wook told a briefing.
Coupang, one of a group of e-commerce firms whose plants have been scrambling to meet a surge in demand, has said the Bucheon center went through daily disinfection and all employees wore masks and gloves and had temperatures checked.
The new cases, the third straight day of rising infections, brought the country’s total as of midnight on Wednesday to 11,344 with 269 deaths. South Korea’s robust program of testing earlier this year was credited with helping the number of comparatively low deaths in a global pandemic that has now killed more than 350,000.
The warehouse cluster appears linked to an outbreak that emerged in several Seoul nightclubs and bars in early May, the KCDC said, and comes as the country had sought to ease social distancing rules. More than 2 million children returned to class on Wednesday, the latest in a phased opening of schools.
Unlike many countries, South Korea didn’t impose a strict lockdown to counter the new coronavirus.
But the rising numbers prompted health officials on Thursday to call for major metropolitan areas to return to some stricter social distancing, including closing some public places like museums, and asking employers to institute flexible working plans.
Health officials said they would be conducting on-site inspections of logistics centers across the country, to develop better policies for preventing outbreaks at such facilities.
Bucheon city announced it would return to intensive social distancing, which means religious facilities, sport fixtures and other public facilities would be shut down.
Coupang, backed by Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank Group , said it closed the Bucheon facility on Monday. It said on Thursday it had also closed a separate facility in Goyang, in the Seoul suburbs, after an employee tested positive there.
“As soon as the employee’s diagnosis was confirmed, Coupang sent home and self-quarantined employees who had contact with the employee,” the company said in a statement.
The spreading outbreak and warehouse closures come as South Korea’s e-commerce firms soak up rocketing orders, as more people opt to shop from home during the coronavirus outbreak, despite the absence of a strict lockdown.

SIC collaborated with The North Face and the Chicago chapter of the American Alpine Club (AAC) to host a Pop-up event celebrating Earth Day. The goal of the event was to have members discuss ways to unplug, explore, and try to new things to help our planet.
Climbing is a great medium for maintaining an active lifestyle and commitment to our natural resources. The AAC facilitated a dialogue on climbing outdoors and how we can enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
Attendees were encouraged to check out the petition at change.org/EarthDayUS to make Earth Day a national holiday.

Look, it’s not that I’m horribly up-myself, but I do think that these might just be the best gluten & egg-free biscuits around.
My daughter’s BFF is your classic, allergic-to-everything child, and a fussy eater to boot. Over the past couple of years I’ve tried a bunch of recipes on her, all of which have resulted in a screwed up face and that awkward moment of a well-brought-up child who doesn’t quite know how to tell her friend’s mum that she’s unable to swallow the baked good that was made especially for her.
Anyway, I’ve been working on this recipe for a while and I was finally confident enough to present them to Miss F’s BFF. After her first tentative nibble, I was beyond thrilled when she declared that these were actually DELICIOUS (possibly the look of surprise on her face could have been a bit insulting). And then she ate three, with gusto. Seeing her stuff her little skinny face I was so happy that I jumped about a bit, which also resulted in an awkward look from said child as she watched her BFF’s middle-aged mum being weird.
Admittedly, these biscuits/cookies are not even a little bit healthy. They’re all butter, sugar & chocolate, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to whip up something for the ‘special diet’ child that is so great that everyone else is fighting her for them.
Finally, a big, fattening, gluten-free win.
Gluten & egg-free choc chip cookies
1¼ cups gluten-free plain flour
½ cup corn flour
¾ cup caster sugar
¾ cup desiccated coconut
125g butter
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp water
1½ tsp bicarb soda
¾ choc melts, roughly chopped (a combination of white and dark is delicious)
Preheat the oven to 170C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
In the large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar and coconut.
Place a small saucepan over low/medium heat and melt the butter and golden syrup, stirring often. Combine the water and bicarb together well then pour it into the butter mix and stir so that the mixture starts to foam. Pour it into the dry ingredients and stir to thoroughly combine.
Mix through the choc melts. Squeeze together golf ball size quantities. Place on the trays, flatten slightly and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. (Allow room for spreading).
Makes 30ish

Wendy, massive thanks for supplying me with a gf recipe. My 4yo is intolerant and I struggle daily not only with gf & her fussiness but with the restrictions put on me by being nut & egg free for pre-school as well. As I’m sure you’re aware it is rather difficult to find a healthy nut-free gluten free snack that a fussy eater will eat. I made choch-chip bikkies yesterday that fell apart so these will be my next attempt. THANK YOU!!

Give these a try. They’re my kid’s current favourite and they don’t have any allergies! Give them a good squeeze when you form the little balls and you’ll be right! Good luck. x

Do you think these would freeze? My son starts school next year and I’m looking to build up a supply of treats in the freezer for his school lunches.

hmmmm, nope. sorry, I wouldn’t freeze these. (although you’re welcome to try and report back on how you go). But they’re pretty simple to make, so maybe bake them in half quantities. They keep well for 4-5 days and they’re yum enough that the entire family will be happy to help eat them up!

Hi Wendy, thanks for sharing this! I don’t tend to keep eggs in the house and whenever I’ve made egg free cookies I have found them a little tougher than I’d like, but yours look great! I will try your recipe out x

I am forever grateful not to have kids with allergies, I hadn’t even considered the whole BFF with allergies scenario. These look great, I’ll be sure to give them a try if I need to go gluten free or egg free for any reason.

We have 3 of those typical ‘allergic to everything children’ (wheat, egg, dairy, nuts, soy, mustard, sesame and kiwi) and I am SO grateful when I see recipes like this pop up.
I have modified mine to make it dairy and coconut free, and used coconut sugar in place of the caster sugar to make it a bit lower GI too … still fabulous!! Thank you!!

Hi Wendy
I have put my hand up to help make some of the treats for my son’s halloween theme disco next week. Although my family don’t suffer any allergies, I know there are some kids at our school with egg and gluten allergies and obviously nuts are a no-go these days at most schools. I was just wondering if you could recommend an egg free, gluten free cupcake recipe? These cookies look yummo too so I may give them a try but cupcakes can be decorated to suit the halloween theme. I have an egg free chocolate cake recipe but was not sure if I could simply substitute gluten free flour in that to make it suitable for all allergy sufferers.

Hi Tami,
I’ve got a good vegan cupcake recipe, but it has gluten…. and a good cupcake/friand type recipe without gluten, but it’s based on almond meal…. I guess what I’m saying is that I haven’t cracked a good egg & gluten free cake recipe yet…. but if you find a good one, let me know – I’d be keen to try it out!

After a two year delay it’s finally happening! The Sportbike Rally Ice–Cream Reunion is a go for Sunday, 10 July. This no fee, no registration gathering could, quite possibly, be the biggest non-event event of the year!
Where? Parry Sound, Ontario of course; the spiritual and temporal home of the legendary – in the minds of many – Sportbike Rally. Head for the Parry Sound Town Dock from roughly 11 am to 3 pm. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you hear the laughter.
It’s not complicated. Ride to Parry Sound, grab a scoop or two of ice–cream (or something else if you’re lactose intolerable), renew acquaintances, talk biking, then ride home.
The Town of Parry Sound is setting aside two large parking lots for motorbikes. The nearby Georgian Bay Airways or Island Queen Cruise terminals will be ready to serve ice–cream at your pleasure.

For a nation has come up against my land, powerful and beyond number; its teeth are lions' teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness.
Joel 2:25
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.
Revelation 9:7-10
In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.
Joel 2:2-11
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations. Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but behind them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run. As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle. Before them peoples are in anguish; all faces grow pale.
Hosea 9:3
They shall not remain in the land of the Lord, but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
Isaiah 32:13
for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers, yes, for all the joyous houses in the exultant city.
Isaiah 8:8
and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck, and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.”
Proverbs 30:25-27
the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer; the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;
Proverbs 30:14
There are those whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mankind.
Psalm 107:34
a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.

Brad Moline, a fourth-generation Iowa turkey farmer, saw this happen before. In 2015, a virulent avian flu outbreak nearly wiped out his flock.
Barns once filled with chattering birds were suddenly silent. Employees were anguished by having to kill sickened animals. The family business, started in 1924, was at serious risk.
His business recovered, but now the virus is back, again imperiling the nation's poultry farms. And this time, there's another pernicious force at work: a potent wave of misinformation that claims the bird flu isn't real.
“You just want to beat your head against the wall,” Moline said of the Facebook groups in which people insist the flu is fake or, maybe, a bioweapon. “I understand the frustration with how COVID was handled. I understand the lack of trust in the media today. I get it. But this is real."
While it poses little risk to humans, the global outbreak has led farmers to cull millions of birds and threatens to add to already rising food prices.
It's also spawning fantastical claims similar to the ones that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring how conspiracy theories often emerge at times of uncertainty, and how the internet and a deepening distrust of science and institutions fuel their spread.
The claims can be found on obscure online message boards and major platforms like Twitter. Some versions claim the flu is fake, a hoax being used to justify reducing the supply of birds in an effort to drive up food prices, either to wreck the global economy or force people into vegetarianism.
“There is no ‘bird flu’ outbreak," wrote one man on Reddit. “It’s just Covid for chickens."
Other posters insist the flu is real, but that it was genetically engineered as a weapon, possibly intended to touch off a new round of COVID-style lockdowns. A version of the story popular in India posits that 5G cell towers are somehow to blame for the virus.
As evidence, many of those claiming that the flu is fake note that animal health authorities monitoring the outbreak are using some of the same technology used to test for COVID-19.
“They’re testing the animals for bird flu with PCR tests. That should give you a clue as to what’s going on,” wrote one Twitter user, in a post that’s been liked and retweeted thousands of times.
In truth, PCR tests have been used routinely in medicine, biology and even law enforcement for decades; their creator won a Nobel Prize in 1993.
The reality of the outbreak is far more mundane, if no less devastating to birds and people who depend on them for their livelihood.
Farmers in states like Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota have already culled millions of fowl to prevent the outbreak from spreading. Zoos around the U.S. have moved exotic bird exhibits indoors to protect their animals, and wildlife authorities are discouraging backyard bird feeding in some states to prevent the spread by wild birds. The disease has also claimed bald eagles around the country.
The first known human case of the H5N1 outbreak in the U.S. was confirmed last month in Colorado in a prison inmate who had been assisting with culling and disposing of poultry at a local farm.
Most human cases involve direct contact with infected birds, meaning the risk to a broad population is low, but experts around the country are monitoring the virus closely just to be sure, according to Keith Poulsen, director of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, an agency that tracks animal disease in part to protect the state's agricultural industries.
“I can guarantee you, this is the real deal,” Poulsen told The Associated Press. “We certainly aren’t making this up.”
Poultry farms drive the local economy in some parts of Wisconsin, Poulsen said, adding that a devastating outbreak of avian flu could create real hardships for farmers as well as consumers.
While the details may vary, the conspiracy theories about avian flu all speak to a distrust of authority and institutions, and a suspicion that millions of doctors, scientists, veterinarians, journalists and elected officials around the world can no longer be trusted.
“Americans clearly understand that the federal government and major media have lied to them repeatedly, and are completely corrupted by the pharmaceutical companies,” said Dr. Joseph Mercola, an osteopath whose discredited claims about vaccines, masks and the coronavirus made him a prominent source of COVID-19 misinformation.
Mercola's interest in the bird flu dates back years A 2009 book for sale on his website, which Mercola uses to sell unproven natural health remedies, is titled “The Great Bird Flu Hoax.”
Polls show trust in many American institutions — including the news media — has fallen in recent years. Trust in science and scientific experts is also down, and along partisan lines.
Moline, the Iowa turkey farmer, said he sympathizes with people who question what they read about viruses, given the last two years and bitter debates about masks, vaccines and lockdowns. But he said anyone who doubts the existence or seriousness of the avian flu doesn't understand the threat.
The 2015 outbreak was later determined to be the most expensive animal health disaster in U.S. history. Moline's farm had to cull tens of thousands of turkeys after the flu got into one of his barns. Workers at the farm now abide by a hygiene policy meant to limit the spread of viruses, including using different pairs of boots and clothes for different barns.
Conspiracy theories are bound to flourish during times of social unrest or unease, according to John Jackson, dean of the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
Before the internet, there were likely just as many people who privately doubted explanations for big events, Jackson said. But they enjoyed limited opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals, few chances to win new converts, and no way to broadcast their views to strangers.
Now, the conspiracy theories that gain wide popularity — such as the QAnon movement or discredited claims about COVID-19 — work because they give believers a sense of control in a rapidly changing, interconnected world, Jackson said. While they can emerge after disasters, assassinations or plane crashes, they can also appear during times of social upheaval or rapid change.
“There isn't a phenomena on the planet, whether it’s the avian flu or 5G, that isn’t already primed for conspiracists,” Jackson said. “Now we have coronavirus, which has traumatized us so profoundly ... we look at this same idea of bird flu with completely new eyes, and we bring different kinds of conspiracy to it.”

Claims that the avian flu is a hoax used to drive up food prices also highlight real-world concerns about inflation and food shortages. Worries that the flu is somehow linked to 5G towers underscore anxieties about technological change. Suggestions that it will be used to mandate vegetarianism, on the other hand, reflect uncertainties about sustainable agriculture, climate change and animal welfare.
By creating explanations, conspiracy theories can offer the believer a sense of power or control, Jackson said. But he said they also defy common sense in their cinematic fantasies about vast, sprawling conspiracies of millions working with clockwork efficiency to undermine human affairs.
“Conspiracy theories rest on the idea that humans have the capacity for keeping secrets," Jackson said. "But they underestimate the reality that we aren’t very good at keeping them.”

Are you in the market to buy (or sell) a Ford Kuga in Malmoe? Vehiclus surveyed the used automotive market of all towns in Sweden to determine a pricing profile of various Ford models depending on their age, technical condition, optical condition, and mileage. In order to maximize your earnings when selling your Kuga (or to be sure to not overpay when buying a Ford Kuga) it is useful to learn all price-determining factors.
Supply and Demand of Ford Kuga on the local car market
Malmoe is a metropolitan area with a current population of 301706 people. However, it is hard to find more than a handful Ford Kuga on the used car market at the same time. Hence, the supply is low and the demand depends on various of parameters e.g. brand reputation, mileage, and reliability.
Price Devaluation Curve of the Kuga in Malmoe
As illustrated in the figure below, cars of the make Ford and especially of their model Kuga loose their value in a very standard fashion. The average value of the Kuga will be lowered by up to 14% ($13,453) after only one year. After three years, the car typically is sold for approximately 60% of its original asking price ($9,868) while it will only be priced at 31% of the MSRP after 7 years ($4,516). The Kuga's value after twelve years is only 10% of its original price depending on its condition of course.
Depreciation according to vehicle mileage
One more way to describe car depreciation is to study the loss of value vs mileage. The Ford Kuga depreciation curve below shows this phenomenon for the city of Malmoe. The Kuga looses most of its resell price (ca 50%) within the first 30k km driven. The typical price for a Kuga at that mileage is approximately $8,599. After that the depreciation slows down: at 90,000km the Ford Kuga is valued for $5,171 in Malmoe and for $2,637 at 180,000km driven.
Ford Kuga price depending on condition (fair, good, excellent)
The last factor that heavily impacts the sell price of a used car is the technical and optical condition of the vehicle. The table below shows the devaluation of a Ford Kuga according to its year and its condition.

Work ethic is important because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, charisma, or any other natural attribute, it's a choice. » Mike Rowe
Smiling Through it All
I recently read a one frame cartoon of a masked cashier reciting instructions to a customer to wear a mask, follow shopping arrows, stay away from other shoppers, and stand behind the plexiglass partition when it was time to pay.
The customer’s response was, “I’ll just shop online… it’s so much more personable.”
I don’t know what it says about me that the person I felt bad for was the cashier.
Even in the best of times, our frontline folks are the ones who tend to hear about anything and everything that customers are displeased with.
They are also our first responders when it comes to resolving problems and salvaging those customer relationships.
That said, most folks who have been dealing face-to-face with customers (behind glass or not), have had a severe customer relationship obstacle to deal with during recent times.
It’s hard to see smiles.
The appeal of the human smile is universal.
It cuts across all languages.
It bonds people.
And sadly, for so many customer facing employees, it’s mostly been removed from their repertoire.
It’s a bigger deal than folks who do not regularly interact with customers might realize.
Researchers have identified the emotional and physical impact of the act of smiling.
The mere physical act of smiling itself releases dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins into our bloodstreams.
Beyond that, smiles are contagious. As opposed to the things we’re trying not to spread, smiles are a healthy contagion.
When you smile at others, their brains are coaxed to return the favor. Smiles help form an instant symbiotic relationship.
All that said, at this moment in time, many of us are having to interact with customers and peers from behind masks.
We are largely being deprived of a visual cue that we rely on to keep ourselves and others upbeat, agreeable, and in a healthy mood.
I believe it’s important to keep these things in mind when going through our days.
Can you smile broadly enough behind a mask that folks can see it?
Some can. Many cannot without getting face cramps.
That’s (mostly) a joke.
In today’s world more than ever, be purposeful in bringing humor, compliments, and kind words to your customers and coworkers.
It will help put smiles on faces - even if we have trouble seeing them behind their masks.
We can use them now more than ever.
What Are You Saving It For?
I came across a video clip this week that brought back memories from about (gulp) 40 years ago.
The video was an interview with a local Houston legend, Jim McIngvale.
He’s better known as “Mattress Mack” and his is an amazing business success story. He’s also an incredible humanitarian.
McIngvale was a talented high school football player who later made the University of Texas squad. He jokes that his position was “the bench.”
A fellow by the name of Frank Medina was a legendary trainer there who made an indelible impression on Mack.
During one practice, Medina asked him, “What are you saving it for, son?”
Mack says that observation really reached him. By UT standards, he wasn’t an exceptionally great athlete.
How could he possibly reach whatever potential he had if he were not giving his absolute best effort every opportunity he got?
He’s since taken that approach in life, business, and philanthropy. Millions have benefited.
That story had me traveling to my middle school days on a sweltering South Louisiana afternoon.
Basketball season was done and if I didn’t want to end up in “regular PE”, (for some reason, that was a bad thing), I had to make the track team.
Coach Ledet was the no nonsense football coach who coached track, as well. He was also my Civics class instructor (and an excellent one at that).
The afternoon of tryouts, I lined up with a dozen or so guys to run a ½ mile race. I knew going in who I could not beat, but also who I had to finish in front of to make the team.
As I finished that race behind the leaders, but comfortably in the “make the team” group, Coach Ledet immediately called me over.
He said, “Martin, tell me that joke you told us in class today.” I smiled and began to repeat it and he stopped me.
He then said, “Son, if you have enough wind in you to tell me a joke 5 seconds after a race, you just gave a (bleep) poor effort on that track.” He said it with a smile, so that helped.
He then said, “You’ve got better in you. I better see it next time you line up.” I remember that interaction to this day.
Personal growth happens outside of our comfort zones. That’s an obstacle because comfort zones are, uh… comfortable. We like it there.
Well, this year has forced most of us out of our comfort zones. We’re in a place where personal growth happens.
It’s time to show what’s in you.

Nobel laureate (physics, 1965), brilliant communicator, polymath, author, broadcaster, Lothario, bongocero, and one of the greatest minds of the century.
And that's only the start!
You might call Feynman the geeks' physicist. He is not as well-known outside scientific circles as Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein or even Niels Bohr, but he can easily stand beside any or all of them in the hall of fame of your choice. Indeed, Hawking describes Feynman as "the physicist's physicist," in his book, A brief History of Time.
In a sense, he surpasses them all, because of his wide range of interests. Feynman is noted in physics circles for re-formulating quantum mechanics in terms of quantum electrodynamics (QED)- a more successful theory of quantum fields, and his development of the Feynman diagram (a graphical way of describing interactions between sub-atomic particles). He is known in government circles for his incisive and revealing contributions to the Rogers Commission report into the Challenger disaster, in which he dramatically showed how rubber O-ring seals become brittle—and lose their ability to seal—at low temperatures. He is remembered by his colleagues on the Manhattan project as the man who worked out how to pick locks and break security, just to tease the security personnel. Mayan scholars remember his work on the Dresden Codex. He is remembered by thousands of physics students at Caltech as their personal hero, who imparted a little of his boundless and infectious enthusiasm for physics through his original and inspiring lectures.
pylon says, "perhaps you could mention his life-long obessesion with wanting to travel to Tuva (and the sad fact that he finally gained permission from the Soviets shortly after his death)"
He is, of course, remembered by his son Carl and adopted daughter Michelle, his sister Joan and wife Gweneth who died the following year.
Feynman was born in New York City on May 11th, 1918, to Lucille and Melville Feynman. He attended high school in Far Rockaway, New York. In 1939, as war was breaking out in Europe, Feynman received a B.S. from M I T, and the following year, he took up a Proctor Fellowship at Princeton University. During his two year stay at Princeton, he married his first wife, Arline Greenbaum. Feynman won his Ph D in 1942 with a thesis on the least action principle and started work on his ideas for a theory of QED.
His brilliance had been noted, however, and he was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos under J. Robert Oppenheimer, alongside the greatest physicists in the free world.
Arline was diagnosed as having tuberculosis, and spent much of her time in hospital in Albuquerque, while Feynman proved that he was an equal to all the brains at Los Alamos. He became friends with Hans Bethe and many of the other top scientists working there. He also added a patent for a nuclear submarine and an atom-powered aeroplane.
Feynman's character started to come out at Los Alamos. He developed a passion for code-breaking and safe-cracking while there, and made a habit of breaking into supposedly secure areas, leaving harmless messages, just to prove that the security was leaky. This developed into one of his many lifelong passions, later exhibited in his efforts to interpret the Mayan book known as the Dresden Codex.
As the war came to an end, and the Manhattan Project was shown to have been a success, Arline died in the Albuquerque hospital. Feynman is said to have been devastated.
Bethe persuaded Cornell University to grant Feynman an associate professorship in 1945, and he stayed there until 1951, using his time to formalise his theories of quantum electrodynamics. At the Shelter Island Conference of 1947, American physicists planned the development of atomic science in the USA, and Feynman first published the results of his work into QED.
He became a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1950, and was appointed a full professor the same year.
In 1959, he took up the post of Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics, at Caltech. He remained in this post until his death in 1988.
These were the golden days of Feynman's career. He made important contributions to the study of liquid helium, particle physics, and later, quantum chromodynamics, an extension of QED. He also discovered his gift for teaching.
The lectures now crystallised in the publication The Feynman Lectures on Physics (see below) were delivered to freshmen on Caltech's Physics courses in 1961 and 1962
In 1952, Feynman married Mary Louise Bell, who taught the history of decorative art at the university. The marriage did not last, they were divorced in 1956.
Feynman married for the third and final time in 1960. His bride was Gweneth Margaret Howarth. They had a son, Carl Richard (born 22nd April 1961), and later adopted a daughter, Michelle Catherine (born 13th August 1968). Gweneth survived her husband by only a few months.
In 1965, Feynman was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on QED, together with two colleagues, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Julian Schwinger. Feynman came to regard the prize as more of a curse than a blessing.
Feynman collected a range of distinctions and awards during his long career, including the Albert Einstein Award (1954, Princeton); Einstein Award (Albert Einstein Award College of Medicine); the E.O.Lawrence Award from the Atomic Energy Commission (1962) and the Niels Bohr International Gold Medal (1973). In addition, Feynman was elected to be a Foreign Member of the UK?s Royal Society (1965) and won Caltech's Oersted Medal for Teaching (1972).
He died of a rare form of stomach cancer, on February 15, 1988.
Beyond the academic career
Reports of Feynman differ, from being intellectually arrogant, and not suffering fools gladly, to a modest man, slightly embarrassed at the celebrity status he achieved. It is clear that he had learned and could recall a vast range of facts and data. It is also clear that he had a great gift for understanding and explaining complex ideas. The power of his intellect cannot be disputed-not many are awarded Nobel prizes.
' ... he had an insatiable curiosity, deep love of nature, a passion for teaching, and high standards of scientific integrity. His interests extended to ants and paramecia; to hypnotism and the mixing of paints; to spinning dinner plates, locks, codes and ancient scripts. From his parents he learned to value and befriend nature, and he tried to communicate this strongly felt emotion through his teaching, and in later years also through painting. He was a classroom virtuoso, who judged his own understanding of the most subtle concepts by his ability to explain it to a novice?' (from Most of the Good Stuff See below)
One "C Dillon" remembers him in a different way:
'Way back in the late 70's/early 80's I worked for a small ballet company in San Francisco, working their sound system and sewing costumes. One of our choreographers decided to set Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" to live drum music (don't ask). So, for the next several weeks, we spent evenings in rehearsal with two drummers, one by the name of Richard Feynman. I thought him pleasant, funny, and collegial - and "rather intelligent"! It wasn't until years later, I discovered he was also a Nobel prize physicist! And my love for him continues...
There are many, many quotes that can be used to describe Feynman's work and ideas. My favourite is his penchant for asking, "any questions?" and when none came, shouting in feigned anger (but in all seriousness), "Well what are you here for then?" He believed in asking questions, in challenging and probing, and above all, in finding the answers. It was this drive to ask questions and get the answers which found him a place on the Rogers Commission following the Challenger disaster
The Challenger disaster and the Rogers Commission
I don't think this is the place to go into detail on the findings of the Rogers Commission. That's probably another node. Feynman wrote an appendix to the Rogers report, highlighting a series of failures in the technology and in the management of the project. In particular, he noted that the management thought the shuttle might fail at a rate of one in 100 000 launches. That would mean NASA could launch one shuttle a day for about 300 years before getting a single failure. The engineers, by contrast, thought one in 1000 was more realistic. A factor of 100. Two groups of people, working in adjacent offices, with such different perceptions of risk.
Feynman's concern was how the managers could possibly believe the technology was so reliable. His implied conclusion was that they deliberately underestimated the risks, in order to sell the idea of space travel to Congress and the tax-payers. Hence the conclusion that you can spin the facts as much as you like, but reality will eventually catch up with you.

A few nice quotations by this eminent scientist, teacher, and publicist (who lived from 1918 until 1988, as nobody has mentioned yet).
Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known; what is not known; to what extent things ARE known (for nothing is known absolutely); how to handle doubt and uncertainty; what the rules of evidence are; how to think about things so that judgments can be made; how to distinguish truth from fraud and from show.
Pretentious "science" such as Creationism is "a claim based upon the stupidity of the author that some obvious and correct fact, accepted and checked for years is, in fact, false (these are the worse: no argument will convince the idiot).
When you have learned what an explanation really is, you can then go on to more subtle questions.
The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty.... We take it for granted that it is perfectly consistent to be unsure--- that it is possible to live and NOT know. But I don't know whether everyone realizes that this is true.
An ordinary fool isn't a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
The test of science is its ability to predict.
Know how to solve every problem that has been solved.

Some more quotes by Feynman, on his blackboard he wrote "that which I cannot derive I do not understand". Someone once said to him "Stephen Hawking can calculate Feynman diagrams in his head, now thats smart". Feynman replied "Yeah but really smart is to come up with Feynman diagrams"
Poets are always complaining that scientists take away from the beauty of the stars. Mere globs of gas atoms! Nothing is mere. I too can see the stars on a desert night and feel them. Stuck on this tiny carousel my little eye can catch million year old light. But what of the pattern, the meaning, the why? For far more awesome is the truth than any artists of the past could imagine. Where are the poets of the present to speak of it? Who are the poets who can speak of Jupiter as if he was a man - and when it is a huge spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must remain silent?
The law of gravity has all the typical characteristics of a scientific law. It's simple, beautiful, mathematical, and incomplete. It's beautiful because it's simple, and it's mathematical because that's how nature speaks to us. (Gravity is a force of attraction between two bodies which goes inversely as the square of the distance between them). And it's incomplete because it didn't account for the little wobble in Mercury's orbit around the sun, and although Einstein fixed that with 'General Relativity' gravity still doesn't fit together with any of the other known laws of science.
(How about this? There is a force of repulsion between electrons - it's called the electromagnetic force - and it also goes inversely as the square of the distance between them. Compared to this force, gravity is extremely weak. It is 1/10 to the power of 24 bigger is electricity ! Where else is there a number as big as 10 to the power of 24? Well, the diameter if the universe is 10 to the 24 times bigger than the diameter of a proton. If you could shrink down all of the universe to the diameter of a proton then all the gravity would be contained in this tiny space and would be equal and opposite to the repulsive electromagnetic force. They would cancel each other out and then you would have NOTHING! Which is roughly the state of affairs just before the big bang.)

When you're thinking about something you don't understand you get this terrible unhappy feeling called confusion. You can't penetrate this thing and most of the time you feel rather unhappy with this confusion. And the reason for this confusion is that we're all some kind of apes trying to reach the banana - and we can't quite make it. And I feel like this all the time. I'm some kind of ape trying to put two sticks together and I always feel stupid. But sometimes the sticks go together and I reach the banana.
I think it is more interesting to live not knowing answers than to have answers that might be wrong. I have approximate answers, possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely certain of anything, and there's some things I know nothing about at all - like whether it means anything to ask,'Why are we here?' I might think about it for a little while, but if I can't figure it out then I'll go to something else. I'm not afraid of being lost in a mysterious universe with no purpose, which is the way it is, possibly. It doesn't frighten me.
The Universe is like a huge game of chess and the scientists who are trying to work out the rules only get to look at a little corner of the game. They might notice that a particular bishop always lands on a black square. They might then work out that this bishop only ever moves on diagonal lines. This gives them a deeper understanding of why it is always on a black square. And then something really weird happens. Two pieces move at once and kind of swap over. What was that all about? Well it's castling and it takes a while to work out the rules for something complicated like that. And then the scientist might notice that the bishop which he always thought was on a black square is on a white square. Now that very interesting and it might take a long time to work out how that happened. And it takes some working out to discover that a pawn went all the way to the other end but instead of 'Queening' it with a queen the player preferred to 'queen' it with a bishop. Scientists are interested in these kind of strange exceptions, and if they study their little corner of the chess board for long enough they might be able to work out all the rules. In chess the more you understand the more complicated it gets. In science it gets simpler. The history of science shows us that lots of things we thought were all different turned out to be only different aspects of the same thing. So it gets easier. Whereas before heat motion, and sound were all different, now we understand why they are all to do with motion and obey the mechanical laws. Whereas before, electricity, magnetism, and light were all different, now we understand that they're all connected and obey the laws of electrodynamics. Scientists haven't fitted gravity into the picture...yet t

"God was invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now, when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time--life and death -- stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out."
"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry."

In case you haven't experienced Richard P. Feynman, try these books out:
Six Easy Pieces: A book made for people with no experience with math or science. Even then, it manages to describe atoms, thermodynamics, relativity, quantam mechanics, etc... Just the fact that Feynman managed to explain all this to the everyday person is proof of his genius.
Six Not-So-Easy Pieces: The next step up from Easy Pieces. It deals mainly with Relativity, and has a bit more math involved than easy Pieces did.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics: This is a three volume set of what was supposed to be the freshman and sophmore physics textbook at Cal-Tech. It covers vectors, E&M, relativity, quantum mechanics, most everything except string theory. The 12 pieces in Easy Pieces and Not-So-Easy Pieces are actually 12 lectures out of these three volumes.
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!:Taken from apirkle above... A collection of anecdotes about his life. A truly excellent book...you should go read it now.
What Do You Care What Other People Think?:Taken from Xydexx Squeakypony... a collection of Feynman stories, though I don't think it was written by Feynman himself. It's a followup to "Surely You're Joking..." Note: I haven't read this one myself, I will as soon as I get the chance.
Feynman Lectures on Computation:Taken from chinoodle... You should also add "Feynman Lectures on Computation" which I cannot recommend enough to all Computer Science undergraduates .. it should be required reading
The following I have been notified have also been written by Feynman, though I have not read them myself. Thanks st.augustine for pointing them out!:

Some additional factoids:
Feynman was one hell of a womanizer. He enjoyed patronizing gentleman's clubs during his swingin' years at Cal Tech. A former professor of mine was once taken by Feynman (married at the time) to a lounge where all of the attractive girls gravitated to him.
His first wife died of Tuberculosis a few years after they were married.
He became interested in Physics initially by tinkering with radios. There is famous quote by the physicist I.I. Rabi to the effect "Some people become physicists because they're curious about their radio, others become physicists because they are curious about their god." I don't know if this was a dig a at Feynman and his seemingly happy-go-lucky persona or not.
Feynman is widely recognized as one of the only physicists who was both a successful theoretician and experimentalist.
The Feynman lectures are damn good as a supplementary text and are helpful in reviewing old material to prepare for the Physics GRE.

I wish to address the commonly stated falsehood that "Feynman was one hell of a womanizer." There is no more relevant basis for this claim than there is of any other male who finds women attractive and has had more than one sexual partner over the course of his life. Only, perhaps Prof. Feynman had more respect for women back then, than most men do for women nowadays.
Richard Feynman was actually quite akward with women, never really knowing why they did a particular thing, or thought a particular way. He was quite the gentleman to his dates, to the point of being used and abused. In Surely you're Joking, Mr. Feynman! he recounts lamenting always being surrounded by pretty women, but never being able to get one to come home with him. Again, this is not exactly an unknown feeling among the average American male. It wasn't until he was coached by a husband-and-wife team to not be such a gentleman, and quit buying everyone drinks, that his bedroom life began in any significant sense. And it took all-day of psyching himself up to be able to not act like a gentleman that evening. This bad-boy phase also lasted a little less than a year, and only because he had been told to, by women, and it was proven to work, repeatedly.
As far as is known, he was faithful to his first wife, until after she died of TB. Even in the midst of helping to develop the atom bomb, he still drove across New Mexico to see his wife in the hospital whenever he could. His second wife was not chosen for her body, but rather her mind; Feynman makes many references to her intellect and the fact that she helped him on numerous projects. His average "honey-do" list was composed of math and physics equations. Indeed, Feynman's own sister was quite intelligent as well and he often contacted her, requesting assistance on particularly tricky equations.
Feynman loved to paint and draw nudes, because he was fascinated by the human body, even the ugly ones, and his works, under the name O'Fey, were highly sought out. A Massage Parlor owner once commissioned him for a painting, but Feynman felt that the requested image was far too sexist for a work he wanted to be involved in. He refused until they compromised and a rather less offensive image was agreed upon. Feyman did go to topless bars, and did watch women dance, but usually found himself more distracted with scrawling out math problems on a cocktail napkin.
Though he grew up in a pre-Women's Lib era, Feynman always had respect for women. For his first job he even worked for his aunt as maintenance at a hotel, during a time when having a female boss would be considered humiliating. He never made mention of being remotely uncomfortable with this arrangement.
These are not the actions of a negatively oversexed chauvenist that the term womanizer conjures to mind. He was attracted to women, and had at least a few sexual partners over the course of his life. Richard P. Feynman was no different than any other straight male in America, except that he likely treated his significant others better than most other men.

Bollywood is an industry where all types of movies are made. While some are from the romantic genre, there are several others belonging from other genres, like thrillers and action movies. Out of these, action movies have fans on a global basis and there are a number of actors who are known for performing brilliantly in such movies. However, these actors, in most cases, use body doubles to do the stunts, which are often dangerous to perform and has to be done by experts only. Though most of the actors these days are trained well in martial arts and are fit enough, most of them still use body doubles to do stunts. In the following lines, we will have a look at a few of these actors, who took the help of body doubles to perform dangerous stunts.
Salman Khan- Ek Tha Tiger
The Bhai of Bollywood took the help of body double El Berni to perform his stunts in the movie Ek Tha Tiger.
Katrina Kaif- Dhoom 3
She took the help of this unnamed stunt woman while performing her role in the movie Dhoom 3.
Hrithik Roshan- Agneepath
The Greek God of Bollywood’s stunts in this action movie was done by this gentleman sitting next to him.
Abhishek Bachchan- Raavan
It was one of his career’s best movies, and this man M. S. Balram did the stunts on Junior B’s behalf in this movie.
Aamir Khan- Dhoom 3
Just like his co-star Katrina Kaif, Mr Perfectionist also took no chance while performing his stunts and took the help of this gentleman here.
Akshay Kumar- Chandni Chowk to China
The Khiladi is famous to perform his stunts on his own but even he took the help of a stuntman in this movie.
Priyanka Chopra- Mary Kom
The Desi Girl had to shun her glamorous avatar and train hard to get in shape for this movie. However, they still had to hire a professional boxer to make her shots look real.
Hrithik Roshan- Bang Bang
Though Hrithik did most of the stunts for this film himself, he needed a double to do his stunts after he got injured.
Shahrukh Khan- Fan
The Badshah of Bollywood did a double role in this movie and also needed a body double to do his stunts.
Dimple Kapadia
Reshma, who did a number of stunts in many famous Bollywood movies, performed stunts for this ace actress too.
Hema Malini
Reshma also did stunts for Hema Malini in movies like Sholay and Raziya Sultan.
Rani Mukherjee- Mardaani
The Bong beauty had to take the help of a stunt double for doing her action sequences in the movie Mardaani.

Every once an awhile I like to post something about my favorite tech toys, apps, and services to highlight what I think are spectacular innovations in the field. I usually do so at the end of the year, like this. But I there’s no reason to wait for end of the year lists. So here are a few things that are currently making my life better. [Note to pesky FTC before they send the Blog Police to my door… I didn’t get paid for any of these “endorsements”!]
NewsRoom RSS Reader: After months of searching fruitlessly for a decent RSS reader for Android, I finally stumbled upon NewsRoom last month. Wow, what a life-changer. It has become my primary RSS reader largely taking over for Bloglines on my PC (which is an app desperately in need of a makeover). NewsRoom’s slick interface is the most friendly finger-swiping app I’ve ever touched. I can quickly flip (left and right) through headlines for each feed and then easily pull up full text of any particular post with a quick flip of the thumb up. The only downside is the limited number of feeds you can have on the main pages. But that actually helped me go back and sort through my feeds to determine which ones I needed to be reading on a daily basis vs those that I can just monitor every couple days or weekly via my PC. I love this app.
TweetDeck (v.34): I have no idea how the folks at TweetDeck make any money, but they produce one the most spectacular pieces of freeware on the planet. It makes Twittering a real joy by making it a cinch to follow multiple hashtag topics in addition to your primary friends and mentions. And reTweeting is super simple. And version 32 just raises the bar even higher with new features like scheduled Tweets, maps, Buzz and Foresquare integration, and much more. I would gladly pay a few bucks a month for TweetDeck, but this amazing app remains free to the public. Apparently they are booking revenue, but I can’t figure out how. (Seriously, how do they do it?!) Regardless, keep up the great work guys… and hurry up and get the Android version out! I played with TweetDeck for the iPhone and it is outstanding. I’m pretty happy with TwiDroid, but I think I’d prefer TweetDeck for my Droid.
Stardock Fences for Windows: I am a huge Windows 7 fan as it offers me just about everything I’ve ever wanted in an OS. However, I’ve remained mystified by the lack an icon “grouping” capability on the Windows desktop. I know you can always created folders and throw programs in there, but why no ability to group the icons for specific programs into a “pen” that could be easily moved around on the desktop? Well, someone finally did it. Stardock (the folks who make some amazing (but memory-intensive) “deskscape” desktop skins) have created “Fences” for Windows, and God bless em for it. Fences allow you to easily create groups for specific icons, programs, documents, shortcuts, etc. And you can scale them however you wish and place them wherever you want. Better yet, to create a new “fence” of any shape or size, just by right-clicking on your mouse, holding it down, and then drawing the outline of your new group and it will instantly pop up. It works perfectly. There’s also a ghosting feature that allows you to change the opacity of any one fence, or hide it entirely unless you hover over it. You can also double-click anywhere on the desktop and it wipes the slate clean of any icons momentarily. “Fences” is a great little program that helped tidy up my desktop the way I have always wanted.
Toy Soldiers for XBox: Is it a bad thing for a 41-year old man to be hopelessly addicted to a video game? Well that’s me right now with “Toy Soldiers” for the XBox 360. I am a sucker for just about any “tower defense” game (“Defense Grid” is another obsession, but it’s too easy). Toy Soldiers, however, has revolutionized the tower defense genre by combining a bit of history (World War I battlefields and units) with a unique form of gameplay that puts you more fully in command of the individual towers, as opposed to typical “place and pray” model of other tower defense games. By allowing the user to take control of artillery, machine guns, chemical weapons, sniper rifles, mortars, anti-aircraft guns, bombers and bi-planes, and so on, Toy Soldiers allows the user to play almost any role they want in the battle. (I love the guided artillery cam!) The battlefields are spectacular, although a bit constrained. You are only allowed to place units in pre-selected spots, and some of the maps are a bit small in scale. (I’m still waiting for some new downloadable battlefields, but none have yet been offered by Microsoft.) Regardless, this game is an absolute masterpiece and I can’t put it down, even after completing all the battles on multiple skill levels. Pathetically, I check nightly to make sure I haven’t fallen out of the top 100 players in the world. Yes, I play that much!
So, a big THANK YOU to all these companies for making my life better, more productive, and enjoyable!

First seen at the end of the very first episode of pokemon back in the 90’s. I remember this well, because I remember seeing it, and no one knew what the hell that was. Later on after learning about news of the next pokemon games, gold and silver, is when they started to reveal what we all saw. Took few years, I believe, and now I have Ho-Oh for myself.

Unwanted settings checked on new files
on: September 04, 2016, 04:44:29 PM
I've finally got round to getting my turntable set up and linked to the laptop.
I recorded two test tracks using Audacity, the results were good. I deliberately recorded one that I'd also recorded from CD using MusicBee and then played them one after the other back to back to compare sound quality.
I noticed that the version recorded from Audacity kept continuing from the point last played rather than the beginning, I've found and corrected the problem. In the "setting" section after right clicking and selecting "edit", the "remember playback position setting" was checked, also "exclude from playback" was also checked. I've now unchecked them both and now the life behaves as I want it to.
However, why did this happen and is there any way I can prevent it? AFAIK those are MusicBee settings so Audacity couldn't have done it. I have thousands of records to rip so it will be a bit of a pain if I have to manually uncheck those settings for each track, recording from vinyl is time consuming enough!

Update: I think I've found what happened, had a brainwave as soon as I hit post...
When I first moved it I accidentally clicked audiobooks instead of music library, then moved it again from there to music.
I just moved another file from music to audiobooks and back and it checked the same settings. I guess these are setting you would want for an audiobook so it makes sense.

"Before I saw the Hide A Hose system I wasn’t sure I was going to get a central vacuum system for my new house. I was tired of lugging a bulky hose from inlet to inlet, up and down the steps, and especially shoving it in a closet when I was done, but I knew a portable vacuum was even worse. The Hide A Hose system may be the coolest thing in my new home..." Hudson, OH

them.
Later this shield staggered up on tripod legs and became the first of the fighting-machines I had seen. The gun he drove had been unlimbered near Horsell, in order to command the sand pits, and its arrival it was that had precipitated the action. As the limber gunners went tos.
“I lay still,” he said, “scared out of my wits, with the fore quarter of a horse atop of me. We’d been wiped out. And the smell–good God! Like burnt meat! I was hurt across the back by the fall of the horse, and there I had to lie until I felt better. Just like parade it had been a minute before–then stumble, bang, swish!”
He had hid under the dead horse for a long time, peeping out furtively across the common. The Cardigan men had tried a rush, in skirmishing order, at the pit, simply to be swept out of existence. Then the monster had risen to its feet and had begun to walk leisurely to and fro across the common among the few fugitives, with its headlike hood turning about exactly like the head of a cowled human being. A kind of arm carried a complicated metallic case, about which green flashes scintillated, and out of the funnel of this there smoked the Heat-Ray.
He heard the Martians rattle for a time and then become still. The giant saved Woking station and its cluster of houses until the last; then in a moment the Heat-Ray was brought to bear, and the town became a heap of fiery ruins. Then the Thing shut off the Heat-Ray, and turning its back upon the artilleryman, began to waddle away towards the smouldering pine woods that sheltered the second cylinder. As it did so a second glittering Titan built itself up out of the pit.
The second monster followed the first, and at that the artilleryman began to crawl very cautiously across the hot heather ash towards Horsell. He managed to get alive into the ditch by the side of the road, and so escaped to Woking. There his story became ejaculatory. The place was impassable. It seems there were a few people alive there, frantic for the most part and many burned and scalded. He was turned aside by the fire, and hid among some almost scorching heaps of broken wall as one of the Martian giants returned. He saw this one pursue a man, catch him up in one of its steely tentacles, and knock his head against the trunk of a pine tree. At last, after nightfall, the artilleryman made a rush for it and got over the railway embankment.
Since then he had been skulking along towards Maybury, in the hope of getting out of danger Londonward. People were hiding in trenches and cellars, and many of the survivors had made off towards Woking village and Send. He had been consumed with thirst until he found one of the water mains near the railway arch smashed, and the water bubbling out like a spring upon the road.
That was the story I got from him, bit by bit. He grew calmer telling me and trying to make me see the things he had seen. He had eaten no food since midday, he told me early in his narrative, and I found some mutton and bread in the pantry and brought it into the room. We lit no lamp for fear of attracting the Martians, and ever and again our hands would touch upon bread or meat. As he talked, things about us came darkly out of the darkness, and the trampled bushes and broken rose trees outside the window grew distinct. It would seem that a number of men or animals had rushed across the lawn. I began to see his face, blackened and haggard, as no doubt mine was also.
When we had finished eating we went softly upstairs to my study, and I looked again out of the open window. In one night the valley had become a valley of ashes. The fires had dwindled now. Where flames had been there were now streamers of smoke; but the countless ruins of shattered and gutted houses and blasted and blackened trees that the night had hidden stood out now gaunt and terrible in the pitiless light of dawn. Yet here and there some object had had the luck to escape–a white railway signal here, the end of a greenhouse there, white and fresh amid the wreckage. Never before in the history of warfare had destruction been so indiscriminate and so universal. And shining with the growing light of the east, three of the metallic giants stood about the pit, their cowls rotating as though they were surveying the desolation they had made.

The chief executive of an embattled social media website says a recent decision by Amazon to drop it as a customer will likely force the website to go offline and could spell the end of his company.
In an interview with the Fox News Channel that aired on Sunday, Parler CEO John Matze said web services were dropping support for the social media platform left and right after it was linked to a violent attack against the U.S. Capitol by far-right extremists last week.
Following the attack on Wednesday, tech companies Apple and Google said they would stop distributing Parler’s app in their digital stores over concerns that the company wasn’t doing enough to curb violent rhetoric posted by its users. The company tends to attract users with far-right viewpoints, some of whom have called for riotous protests following President Donald Trump’s election loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.
Apple and Google were not alone in withdrawing their support for Parler: On Saturday, Matze said Amazon had announced it would no longer support Parler’s use of its Amazon Web Service cloud computing feature, which provides computer servers and related services for websites.
Letter sent from Amazon to Parler's Chief Policy Officer Amy Peikoff said the social media company's plan to use volunteers to moderate against violent content wasn't enough to keep their business.

In a letter sent to Parler’s policy officer and reviewed by The Desk, an Amazon official said it had warned Parler for weeks of posts that “clearly encourage and incite violence.” The tech company said it provided 98 specific examples to Parler.
“You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency,” an Amazon official wrote in the letter.
In one of the last conversations between the companies, Parler responded to Amazon officials by promising to create a volunteer staff of content moderators who would be tasked with weeding out problematic posts. But Amazon said this step didn’t go far enough to satisfy their concerns.
“Given the unfortunate events that transpired this past week in Washington, D.C., there is serious risk that this type of content will further incite violence,” the Amazon official wrote. The company warned Parler would lose access to Amazon Web Services on Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Late Saturday night, Matze assured Parler users that Amazon’s decision would lead to an interruption in service that would be brief because “many [companies are] competing for our business.”
One day later, he admitted that comment was untrue.
“We’re gonna try our best to get online as fast as possible, but we’re having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work to us,” Matze admitted to Fox’s Maria Bartiromo. “Because if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t.”

To make things worse, Matze said other companies that provided services to Parler were also starting to bail.
“Every vendor, from text message services to email providers to our lawyers, all ditched us too, on the same day,” Matze told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo in an interview.
Some of these decision have created technical problems for Parler already: The company suspended the creation of new user accounts on Sunday, and existing users have reported issues with creating new posts and modifying their profiles and account information.
But the biggest impact to the company will come from the loss of Amazon’s services, which Matze warned could force the closure of the company if they’re unable to find another cloud computing service willing to work with them soon.
“They just don’t want us on the Internet,” Matze said. “They just want to get rid of us.”

In this diagram you'll find a teacher’s guide with possibility’s to use in a learning process for your students.
There is no commitment to use it, tough it is a guide to make all belts in the world have the same standards as a minimum.
The Japanese Fighting-system Jiu-Jitsu program is made for fighters in combat. So they use their best techniques in their exam. But we need a minimum of knowledge for each belt. Similar techniques that replaces standards are allowed.
Again…. We don’t tell teachers how to educate their pupil. That’s for the teacher to arrange. The diagram only gives a guide to a level we need to standard our belts.

A lot of them are very difficult, but I think the only hard instrument is a violin. And I’m not talking about the classical instruments, what most of them can be played well, even when playing “in between” in the same tone range.
What is the reason why musicians who are great players sometimes fail in the musical career? First of all, the main reason is that they are not prepared, but they don’t have enough confidence. I think it is also because of the attitude of other people, because they are more interested in what kind of music they do as well. It’s normal for the person who plays with the highest confidence to do less and less. Because it’s more important to him to know how to play well as well as he can, so he can play as far as he can. It’s important to work on himself, but it’s a very difficult question to answer to the individual. For me it is the most difficult question to answer when I play with the classical musicians.
One of the biggest differences between jazz music and classical music is a lack of technical proficiency. It appears to me that there are many of the musicians who, during the past few years, have begun to play on a good basis, but they’re not making their instrument more like a piano. It doesn’t look like it, from the surface.
Do you ever use a piano to teach your violin? Not at all. I’m used to using a violin in many different positions. The way I can make the violin more comfortable, more comfortable to play, is when I use the violin in a position where it is in balance with the piano. When I can see the violin in the situation it’s supposed to be played in, as a violin in the hands of someone, I can adjust the strings and adjust the posture of the body as close to the piano for the violin or as close to the guitar for the guitar. This is what I like to do, to have the violin in the hands of someone because there’s always a way in which you can have that situation, and I’m not interested in those sort of situations. I think it requires more precision. I feel that in my hands the situation is more subtle. Because I can see the situation when I play, and it’s not about putting the strings to the spot. When I do this I don’t really have to work with precise tension.
Do you have a theory of improvisation? I have developed different theories. It used

When you decide to sell with Integrity we will set you up with an experienced agent who will begin an in-depth appraisal at no cost to you. The consultation will go over every little detail, but will focus on those that are most important to the mobile home market. After the appraisal, the agent will manage getting listings up on our core website as well as the central real estate database, the MLS, to get your home up on all the big real estate sites.

We regularly get calls from people from all over, as far as California, New York, Canada, or Hawaii.

Wonderful association. Didn't the early Nightwing sport a disco collar?
Posted by: Captain Average | March 01, 2008 at 08:20 AM
Yeah, I took a look at Nightwing, too...but even though he had a "disco collar", it wasn't high enough to actually obscure his peripheral vision....so he wasn't eligible for membership. Other heroes with big (yet non-obscuring) collars were guys like Tyroc (Legion of Superheroes), Warlock (his later caped costume), and the Vision. I thought about including hooded heroes like Raven or the Spectre as well, but the "work-to-joke" ratio seemed a little steep.
Oh, and yes...I'm aware Yellow Jacket doesn't have a high collar...but I just couldn't say no to those impossibly huge shoulder "arches".

Posted by: Hube | March 01, 2008 at 10:14 AM
You should add those wearing hoods. The Spectre, Green Arrow's current look, I'm sure there are several more. I'm not of the "hoodie" generation but I have a Green Lantern hoodie I wear when I get cold in the studio. The first time I wore it outside witeh the hood up I noticed the lack of peripheral vision and I immediately flashed on the Super-heroes that have a hood and how stupid it is.
Posted by: Paul McCall | March 01, 2008 at 10:57 AM
I always thought of those as vampire collars.
Posted by: Pat Curley | March 01, 2008 at 11:49 AM
"You should add those wearing hoods."
Like I said earlier, it was more work than the joke needed (or that I had time to do)...but now that you bring it up, maybe the Obscured Peripheral Vision League will have to meet the Legion of Peripheral Vision-Challenged Superheroes at some point.
Posted by: Mark Engblom | March 01, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Rank amateurs, all of them. I can put up a whole bunch of pics of Transformers with less peripheral vision than that.

Only Piper's equipment has the advantage of FoodSafe technology and certification. This ensures that your food is kept "out of the DANGER-ZONE." Food spoilage occurs mainly because of rapidly accelerated bacteriological activity within the 40F-140F "DANGER-ZONE."
Since there is no simple way of knowing when the degree of contamination has risen to an unsafe level, chilling or freezing food rapidly is the only FoodSafe answer. FDA & HACCP regulations permit a maximum of 6 hours to chill food from 140 to 40 degrees, while some states now permit only 4 hours. This is 6 to 8 times faster than what traditional refrigeration equipment can accomplish.
Blast chilling and shock freezing are the key factors in HACCP compliance and the fight against foodborne pathogens. Nothing does it better than FoodSafe.

Cannabis is a plant that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It can be consumed in many different ways, each of which provides different benefits. In this blog post, we will discuss the various methods of consuming cannabis and explain the benefits of each one.
Smoking
Smoking is the most common way to consume cannabis. When you smoke cannabis, it is heated and then inhaled. This provides an immediate effect, which lasts for a few hours. Smoking is a good choice if you want an instant high or need relief from pain or nausea. However, smoking can also be harmful to your lungs, so it is not recommended for people with respiratory conditions such as asthma or COPD. In the words of specialists at delta8, vaporizing is a healthier option than smoking, because it does not produce any smoke. It also provides an immediate effect that lasts for a few hours. Vaporization occurs when cannabis is heated to a temperature below its combustion point so that it releases the essential oils and other compounds found in the plant without burning them up. This creates a vapor that can then be inhaled through an inhaler device called a vapor pen.
Eating
Another way to consume cannabis is by eating it. When you eat cannabis, it is digested and absorbed by the body slowly. This provides a long-lasting effect that can last for several hours. Eating cannabis is a good choice if you want to relax or relieve pain. It is also a good option for people who don’t like the taste of smoking or vaporizing cannabis.
Cannabis can be eaten in many different ways, such as by making it into a tea or adding it to food. There are also products available that contain cannabis oil which can be taken orally using droppers or capsules. The effects of eating cannabis take longer to kick in than smoking or vaporizing, but they last for a longer time.
Topical Application
Cannabis can also be applied topically. This means that it is rubbed onto the skin, where it provides pain relief and other benefits. It does not produce a “high” like smoking or eating cannabis because there is no THC in topical products which causes this effect to occur when ingested orally or by inhalation. Topical cannabis products are a good choice for people who want to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC. They are also a good option for people who want to use cannabis for its medicinal properties but don’t want to ingest it. There are many different topical cannabis products available, such as lotions, balms, oils, and creams.
Tincture
A tincture is an extract of cannabis that has been dissolved in alcohol. It can be taken orally using a dropper or added to food and drink. The effects of taking a tincture are similar to those produced by eating cannabis, but they take longer to kick in because it takes time for the body to digest the alcohol. Tinctures are a good option for people who want to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC or those who need a longer-lasting effect than what is provided by eating cannabis.
There are now many different ways to consume this plant, each of which provides different benefits. To find the right method for you, it is important to understand the differences between these methods. So, which one will you choose?

CommonSpace columnist Anas Hassan believes that new pro-independence political force Rise will unnecessarily divide the pro-independence vote in next year’s Scottish Parliament elections
POLITICAL diversity is never a bad thing and Scotland already has an eclectic mix of choice available when it comes to electing representatives to our local councils, Scottish Parliament, Westminster and even to the European Parliament.
But Rise, Scotland’s new left-wing political alliance , claims to offer an alternative to the already progressive Scottish National Party (SNP).
At a time when the issue of Scottish independence remains as prominent as ever despite last year’s No vote, it is chas Rise really got that is different to offer to voters?
It is completely illogical and potentially damaging to unnecessarily split the pro-independence vote.
Respeth the current party in government at Holyrood. Many socialists are already members of the SNP and feel more than comfortable within what is a diverse and exciting political party.
Further still, the SNP benefits hugely by having a diverse, mobile and active membership, making the party all the healthier and making politics all the more exciting.
Some critics of the SNP bemoan the dominance of the current party in government. But why is that the fault of the SNP? And why should the party be blamed for the fact that more and more Scots, regardless of what they think of independence, decide to back Nicola Sturgeon’s party over other alternatives?
It is a tribute and credit to the SNP for competent and strong government and for standing up for our country without compromise.
Some people also aspire to see a different force of opposition within the Scottish Parliament from 2016 onwards. I can sympathise with this to an extent, given that the main opposition in the form of Scottish Labour is so woeful, out of its depth and totally incapable of challenging the SNP robustly.
But are we seriously expecting a new political force like Rise to replace Kezia Dugdale’s party within approximately nine months? Let’s give ourselves a good shake before we get carried away with ourselves with the laughable concept that Rise is going to complete 40 years worth of work within approximately 40 weeks.
Are we seriously expecting a new political force like Rise to replace Kezia Dugdale’s party as the opposition within approximately nine months?
It is highly unlikely that Rise will win a single seat next year, let alone form the official opposition at Holyrood. And if it does win representation in Parliament, then I will eat a tartan bonnet with salt and sauce on camera.
Within the concept of an independent Scotland, a diversity of political parties will probably exist and enlighten the political debate in our country. But in this current volatile political environment that we remain in, the concept of Scottish independence remains as alive as ever.
Realistically, only the SNP holds the key to unlocking the potential event of Scotland taking its own place on the world stage through a prospective second independence referendum.
That second independence referendum is very probable, but as to when it takes place is only a matter for the people of Scotland and the time will only be right when the nation is ready to reconsider the possibility of finally breaking away from the union.
It won’t be an immediate occurrence, nor should it be. Scotland, under 12 months ago, rejected independence and that must be respected for the time being.
That said, however, even some No voters are beginning to think again about the viability of Scotland becoming an independent country. It is key that support for the SNP remains as strong as ever in order for the door of independence to be unlocked when the time is right.
Seeing the pro-independence vote divide itself for no realistically meaningful reason achieves nothing but helps our constitutional opponents.
Seeing the pro-independence vote divide itself for no realistically meanit major pro-independence political party in the form of the SNP remains as strongly supported as possible in order to keep the independence dream alive.

A better Bulletin
I want to compliment all of you for the substantial improvement in the appearance, tone and content of the Harvard Law Bulletin. It is much more informative than in years past. It also appeals to the eye. Good work!
Michael Polelle ’63 Sarasota, Florida
Fraud is not everywhere in the private sector
Your “Collecting on Dreams” article in the Summer 2019 issue was quite well done and reflects very well on HLS students and alums who so fervently pursue their commitment to public service. Without a doubt, the subjects of the article are making a positive difference for many when redressing demonstrated fraud, and have earned my respect and admiration. However, the express and implicit premises of the article demand a response.
First, the statement regarding the “defunct” for-profit colleges is incomplete insofar as it neglects to mention the schools’ demise as resulting in large part from the intense hostility of the Obama administration toward for-profit education. Reasonable minds can differ as to whether this hostility was justified by the particular schools’ practices, but the situation begs the question of whether the aggrieved students benefited in any way from the effort to bring down the schools. Whether or not the schools were issuing “worthless” degrees to start with, there can be no doubt that the demise of the schools further undermined the value of the degrees as a result of the stigma which was created (or at least increased). Is this an example of a government policy hurting those it is intended to help?
Second, the use of the class action approach raises questions about various issues of individual responsibility. While it is undisputed that there was some fraud perpetrated by these institutions, the inherent premise of a class action, that there is great similarity among the class members, is a troubling one. I cannot accept that in the case of every student of these institutions, their problems result from fraud. Surely, there were some students who received a legitimate education and have encountered problems in their lives for reasons unrelated to their education. Blaming everything on business fraud becomes an overly convenient crutch for far too many and interferes with fundamental incentives.
The broader debate in society regarding forgiveness of student debt in general reflects this mentality, that any difficulty in repayment is the fault of tal schools and are nevertheless struggling, failed to pursue worthwhile studies or sufficiently apply themselves to fields that do have value. There is no reason that society—i.e., taxpayers—should presumptively or conclusively foot the bill for every struggling person. The importance of individual responsibility is also a fundamental theme.
Third, an implicit premise of the article is that for-profit education is inherently bad. Many would disagree, and the existence of the student-debt problems with respect to graduates of traditional colleges and universities bespeaks reason for concern about the value of education provided in that sector. We must insist upon lawful, ethical behavior from for-profit institutions, but for many, their model is a useful alternative to the traditional one and is well worth preserving.
The Project on Predatory Student Lending serves a commendable purpose in redressing individual fraud, but it is essential for the clinic managers to keep in mind that fraud is not everywhere in the private sector and that individual choices and implementation also have a large role to play in individuals’ life experience and satisfaction. Not all lending to students, or otherwise, is predatory lending.
Martin B. Robins ’80 Chicago
Response to “Fraud is not everywhere in the private sector” letter
We represent over 1 million former students of for-profit colleges. Our perspective is naturally different from the letter writer’s, and we strongly disagree with several of his contentions. Notably, we do not see a failure of personal responsibility amongst the thousands of students whose stories we have learned. To the contrary, not enough responsibility is taken by actors with the power and obligation to do better. Where the incentives are misaligned is in the distribution of risk-free taxpayer money to institutions without any meaningful check on the value or quality they deliver.

The need for disability insurance is strong. According to the Social Security Administration, today’s 20-somethings have one in four chance of becoming disabled during their working years. With odds like that, it seems like everyone should want disability insurance – but not everyone has it. This gap means that disability insurance agents need to reach more people.
Here are 10 prospecting tips to help you do just that.
Go beyond doctors. Many different professions are in need of disability insurance. Don’t limit your prospecting activities to the medical fields. Look at other groups, including the IT industry and business owners.
Don’t forget about millennials. Do you still think of millennials as teens? They’ve grown up, and some of them are even in their late 30s. They need disability insurance, too, although their concerns might be a little different than that of other generations. For example, many millennials may be interested in student loan DI riders.
Expand your income brackets. Disability insurance isn’t just for top earners. People with more moderate incomes still have a paycheck to protect – and they’re often hit the hardest if they lose that paycheck.
Appeal to homeowners. Without a regular paycheck, many homeowners could face foreclosure. Help them stay in their homes by providing a policy that fits their budget.
Talk to employers. The labor market is tight, and corporate financial wellness programs are hot. That makes this a great time to talk to employers about group disability insurance products.
Embrace social media. Your prospects are on social media, so you should be active there, too. It’s a great way to nurture client relationship while also building a professional network.
Incorporate videos. Consumers love watching videos as a way to learn about new things. Include videos on your website, in your social media posts and in your emails.
Warm your prospects up before you meet. You want you clients to understand the facts about disability insurance, but you don’t want to overwhelm them with information during your meeting. A week before you meet, send them a client handout explaining the need for disability insurance.
Use a great script. Don’t risk getting tongue tied. Have a solid DI sales script ready to go.
Believe in yourself. If you don’t truly believe in the value of paycheck protection, you’ll have a hard time convincing anyone else. When you really think about it, you’ll realize you are your most important sale.

My operation transformation: Suzanne Harrington undergoes irreversible weight-loss surgery
Getting irreversible weight-lossatically improved Suzanne Harrington’s quality of life.
Recently I went to Tallinn, and paid a bariatric clinic €6,000 to remove 85% of my stomach.
The keyhole procedure was done by Dr Ilmar Kaur, Estonia’s top bariatric surgeon; the price was a five-night medical package which included everything except flights, plus two years aftercare.
It was, quite literally, painless. As well as constructing my g to be an expensive waste of time and effort.
Arriving at the clinic, I had blood tests and a consultation with Dr Kaur, who told me that until he’d seen the state of my inous surgeries.
The decision would be made during the endoscopy, when I was under general anaesthetic – so I consented to both procedures, not knowing which one it would be until I woke up.
The operation took two hours, and was completely successful.
Before my gastric sleeve surgery, I was 92 kg (14st 7lbs) — fat, but not American fat.
My BMI was around 35, which despite teetering towards the severely obese category, had no co-morbidities — no diabetes or sleep apnoea, normal blood pressure, plus I’m active, teetotal and vegan.
But, for almost 20 years, I have been between 10 and 30 kgs overweight.
I was tired of being fat, and had tried pretty much everything else in terms of weight-loss strategies, from gastric banding to very low calories diets to hypnotherapy to diet pills.
Although in rude health, it seemed inevitable that my joints would suffer as I aged, or that one of the co-morbidities I’d so far been avoiding would pop up.
It was time to take action. So off I went, without telling anyone where I was going or what I was doing — because when it comes to weight loss surgery (WLS), everyone has an opinion, generally unhelpful or uninformed or both. The only opinion I wanted was medical.
Two months later, I am 12kg (1st 12lbs) lighter and my BMI is just under 30 — I am no longer categorised as obese.
My eating has changed radically. I feel full after very small amounts of food, and have to be super-mindful about what I consume in terms of nutrients — lots of superfoods in very reduced quantities.
My weight loss will continue until I reach the correct weight for my height, and will then level out.
I will take a daily vitamin and mineral supplement for the rest of my life, and get B12 injections from my GP every three months.
There are very few downsides, providing I follow the post-op dietary instructions given by the nutritionist at the clinic — eat very slowly, chew for ages, avoid sugar, indigestible foods, chewy foods, carbonated drinks.
The adjustment has not been difficult — I have been learning quickly not to eat too much or too fast because if I do, I feel nauseous.
The psychological relief of no longer being a food slave is indescribable, and my body feels pretty happy about it too.
This goes far deeper than mere vanity – it’s a profound change because with a gastric sleeve (unlike a bypass or a band) there’s no going back.
It’s irreversible. Not that I would ever want my chronic overeating back, or my excess weight.
“I’ve never met anyone who regrets weight-loss surgery,” says John Conneely, bariatric surgeon at the Mater Hospital.
Yet despite Ireland being on track to become the fattest country in the EU by the middle of the next decade - HSE figures from last year show that 37% of the population is overweight, and 23% is obese - there is almost no provision for bariatric surgery here.
Plus there are all kinds of misconceptions about it – that it’s an easy way out, that it’s dangerous, complicated, or for lazy gym-dodging couch potatoes.
As a society, we have a long way to go in terms of understanding obesity, its causes (read The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes), and its effective treatments.
“When it comes to bariatric surgery, we are about 20 years behind the rest of the world,” says Conneely.
“There’s very little public funding, and only six bariatric surgeons in the whole of Ireland. Yet these are incredibly cost-efficient procedures, because they save so much money in the long term.
“Perception is slowly changing in the UK, but not yet in Ireland, despite it being stunningly effective surgery that can completely transform lives.
"There’s a misconception that it’s dangerous, yet the global complication rate is between 4% and 5%, which is lower than gall bladder surgery.”
In 2017, research conducted by UCC showed that despite around 92,500 people medically qualifying for WLS, less than one procedure per week was being carried out, meeting less than 0.1% of need.
In Ireland, one person per 100,000 receives WLS, compared with 57 per 100,000 in France.
Going private can cost approximately €15,000, although this is variable; it costs the HSE on average €9,000 per procedure. Or you can travel to other EU countries, where it is considerably cheaper.
To qualify in Ireland for publicly funded surgery, you need to have a BMI of 40 or above.
“With obesity in Ireland, it’s not that there is poor medical care – there is virtually no medical care,” says Conneely.
“There is an incredible double standard – we treat lung cancer caused by smoking and liver disease caused by alcoholism, but in terms of health care, obesity remains the last acceptable form of apartheid.
"In the wider world, the global level of ignorance around obesity is astounding – in another few years we will look back on sugar the way we now view tobacco.”
Meanwhile, my keyhole scars are healing, and with every passing day I have more energy and focus. The best thing is the feeling of lightness and freedom inside my head.
Obesity is not a lifestyle choice of the greedy and the feeble minded - unless you have been there, you really have no idea what it’s like.
It’s like being trapped inside a locked room, except you are the room.
Weight-loss surgery can set you free.
Weigh up your options
GASTRIC BAND: Once considered the ideal bariatric surgery for those who didn’t want anything irreversible, the band now accounts for just 5% of weight-loss procedures.
Basically, because it doesn’t work very well.
A silicon doughnut-shaped device is placed around the stomach, reducing its size; quick and easy to fit, and reversible, its major downside is discomfort, cheatability, and ineffective weight loss.
GASTRIC BYPASS: The gold standard of bariatric surgery for over 50 years, the Roux-en-Y bypass reduces the stomach size and reroutes it past a length of small intestine, reducing food absorption and causing rapid weight loss and reversal of co-morbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea.
Weight loss is dramatic and guaranteed, but patients can suffer psychologically if not adequately prepared.
Anecdotally, alcohol consumption can increase post-bypass.
GASTRIC SLEEVE: Originally conceived to prep super-obese patients for bypass surgery when providing a full bypass was too dangerous because of their size, the idea was that patients would lose weight, then return a year later for the bypass.
However, for the past decade the sleeve has been used effectively as a stand-alone procedure — many patients were so happy with their results that they decided against further bypass surgery.
The stomach is reduced by 85%, so that the remaining 15% resembles a tube rather than a bag.
There are fewer negative side effects than with the bypass, which can result in malabsorption of nutrients, and ‘dumping syndrome’, when undigested carbs enter the intestine too quickly, causing vomiting, diarrhoea and dizziness.
Yet, with the sleeve, excess weight loss remains only slightly less (50-65%) after two years, compared with the bypass (60-75%).
“This is the procedure I would have,” says bariatric surgeon John Conneely.
“It’s very easy to live with, and the co-morbidities reduction is the same as with the bypass. And great weight loss too.”

If you are thinking about creating something for your home, then you probably are in search of interesting arts and crafts tips. Thankfully you’re in the right place, because the following article will educate you on different arts and crafts ideas. If you need that extra boost to get you to think creatively, then keep reading!
Incorporate recycling into your arts and crafts activities. No matter what you are into, from ceramics to oil paints, there are many ways to involve using objects and supplies that you would have otherwise thrown away. Save paper, tinfoil, aluminum, cardboard and more and stash it away for your next project.
If you want to make custom jewelry, then you can probably find what you need on Beadaholique. You can find various accessories, beads, chains, etc. to make wonderful pieces. A lot of the fashion that is out there today involves designing with costume jewelry. By making your own, you’re not spending as much, and you can blend your jewelry with your wardrobe.
Get your kids involved in any kind of arts and crafts activity you take part in. Children who develop such interests tend to do better in school and other places than those who don’t. Teach your toddler to paint, or your teenager to sculpt, and you should see a noticeable difference in attention span and creativity.
If you want supplies, look to Etsy. You purchase items here that individuals are selling. On top of getting supplies from Etsy, you can also use the site to sell your own wares. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it here.
Look for ways to reuse items in your arts and crafts projects. There are many things you can do with old jars, coffee cans, old magazines, toilet paper rolls and just about anything else you can think of. If you are looking for a project to do, considering reusing an item you’d like throw away.
There are several national chain craft stores that you could find. Take the time to go online to check out their weekly specials prior to actually going to the store. If you time it right, you can find some great deals. Many also offer coupons that you can print and take with you.
If you are thinking about taking up oil painting for the first time, try starting out with acrylics instead. Oil paints can get very expensive, as can the canvas upon which you will paint. Buy the cheaper paint first, get a little practice under your belt, then dive into the real thing.
Keep your glass jars from things like tomato sauces to the side. These small jars make for excellent containers for small arts and crafts items like buttons, marbles, and pebbles. You can see through the glass to know what’s exactly inside. And don’t throw away the lids either. They make for extra protection that your craft items stay all together.
If you love sculpting, but have run out of ideas or are stumped about what to create, get a blindfold. People who have some skills with sculpting can create amazing pieces when they simply use their minds and hands! Set yourself up as you normally would, and just put a blindfold on, or close your eyes and let your imagination go.
If you need supplies for your arts and crafts projects, try the kitchen. There are tons of gems out there to do in crafts. You can use glass jars, tin foil, metal cans and many other objects. Dried foods like beans and pasta can also be used.
Have a phone nearby when doing arts and crafts. Make sure everyone involved knows how to call the local poison control center. Accidents happen, even to adults. The real risks are when kids and chemicals are involved simultaneously. You always hope you never have to make that call, but be ready to do so.
Try to find ways to include recycled items into your crafting skills. Quilters may use discarded clothing to make quilting squares. Painters may find old frames that can be restored. There is an entire world of items that are about to be discarded that can be recycled into a beautiful new work of art.
Don’t get to set on examples of final products with arts and crafts. If you’re doing this with kids, let them express themselves. Let them have room to have fun. If they feel like they have to do it perfectly or meet some kind of expectation, you’re defeating the entire purpose.
As stated in the above article, anyone can learn arts and crafts when they have good ideas that work well and are successful. Now that you have some tips in hand, take what you learned here and apply it to your own skills. Soon enough, you will create amazing pieces of arts and crafts that everyone will love.

Cats in cold weather, if they are outdoor cats, can get into difficulties associated with the cold. Here's some brief examples:
Going in and out from warm to very cold can, it is thought, raise the potential for catching a cold and cats get 'em just like us.
Cat on Ice -- DoBe not sure about ice -- photo by yeimaya
Cats if locked out will seek warmth. That could be under a recently parked car or actually in the engine compartment - very dangerous. People say we should bang on the car before starting off in very cold weather, to frighten off any cat inside.
Roads are salted in icy weather. Fine, but not too fine for the humble domestic cat as the salt and perhaps other chemicals used to de-ice roads gets picked up in between the toes and on the paws. This then gets licked off and into the cat, which can cause health problems. Sometimes salt is not used as it is too expensive. Substitutes could be more toxic to cats.
Cats with a single coat (see cat hair) such as some moggies or the purebred Oriental Shorthair will feel the cold more. How about a coat!? Specially tailored, very flashy.
Older cats will be more susceptible to falls and breaks in the cold just like us. If it's very cold it is probably better to keep our cats in all the time, which is commonplace in the USA anyway. Cats in cold weather need special consideration really.

Rehoming because
Our guinea pig's companion recently passed away and she needs a good home with a new companion or herd.
Our Story
We are looking to rehome our beautiful peach female guinea pig. She is almost two years old and has been bonded with a female companion who recently passed away. Peach has been seen by our vet and has been given a good bill of health. However she needs a companion or small herd to thrive.
We have a large 30 x 60" C&C Cage (purple base with black sides) as well as many accessories including food, hay, fleece and playpen that we would be happy to include for her comfort.
Peach is very eager to join a family with other guinea pigs soon but we are willing to wait until the right home is available so she can be in a wholesome and loving environment.
Please contact us for more details. Thank you!

Can you SHIP?
Sorry, NO. Please do not contact the owner and ask about shipping guinea pigs. It is NOT possible. Please look for guinea pigs LOCAL to you! That's what this site is for--helping you find a guinea pig close to home to adopt and love.
But I want THAT one!
Yes, that one is adorable and looks just like the one you must have for your very important reason or you will not be able to go on living. But, there are many more in your area that are just as wonderful. Perhaps they are not listed here, but they can be found. The piggy in need waiting for you near your own back yard might look a little different, but could melt your heart anyway!
